begs is arrested if he is not native of
the State he is sent to the state prison
for three years; if he is resident of the
State he is sent to town where he belongs;
reward Of $50 is given for the arrest and

to hold two common men, accompanying
it with neat presentation speech, which
Mr.. Speaker responded to in pleasant
acceptance of the chair.
The House was so pleased with the
incident that it adopted a resolution
expunging from the Journal OF the House
all record of the escapade of the gentle-
man from Lawrence County.
Secretary Hand has intimated to the
legislature that he would not be able to
pay the members for more than 80 day
session, but they have refused to consider
any motion to adjourn before the 40 days
session allowed by law shall expire, as
they think that they can figure as we'll as
the Secretary.
On the day after tomorrow (Friday)
the Legislative Assembly are to go on the
long proposed excursion to Canton on the
Pembina, or rather the Dakota Southern
Railroad, leaving Yankton at 8 o'clock
A. M. Spending three hours in consuming
the banquet prepared by the Cantonites,
and looking over the town returning at
8.30P.M M. We should Judge that there
will be jolly time.
The Council are hard at work in COM
mittee of the whole, from day to day on a
new and, said to be, better Educational
Act than the present law is. 1t is quite
comprehensive in its scope. It tears up
the present law pretty thoroughly. There
is hot fight over the question whether
Territorial Superintendent. of Schools Is
needed or not, but have about decided
that such officer is needed. Gen. Beaale
we learn has been appointed by the Gov.
ernor, but not confirmed by the Council
as yet.
The bill for penitentiary at Sioux
Falls has passed both houses, and the
appropriation for it has been incorporated
into the same bill as the appropriation
for the insane asylum to be located at
Yankton; so the members from Yankton
and Sioux Falls, who like each other
about as we'll as Kilkenny cats, must jog
along in harness together, as kill one,
kills two.

A Frontier Wedding.

A story comes from the scene of the
Ute troubles which illustrates the 70
nance of frontier life and which is of
peculiar interest here because the par
ties are well known. At Camp Douglas,
on the morning when the order came for
four companies of the Fourteenth In
fantry to go to the front, the impression
wss that the campaign would last ali
winter and would thus interfere with
the marriage of Lieutenant r. I. Yea.-
man, of Company |, and Miss Louise
Mulhall, sister of Lieutenant Mulhall,
which had been arranged for Christmas.
The order was received at AN. There
was hasty conference of the principals
in the case and it was decided to have
the ceremony performed Immediately.
Accordingly the chaplain was summoned
and at 10 O'Clock they were married. At
IL o'clock the command started for the
Indian reservation. Lieutenant Yeat-
man is q nephew of Admiral Ammen.
Miss Mulhall lived here with her brother
and mother about two years, until the
spring of 1878, when Lieutenant Mulhall
was ordered west.- Washington Cor. n.

And that killed with scorning.

Intent upon teguiling.

Or brought sudden glow
into your cheek by low,
Soft answers, in replying.
MY life was all disguise.
A mask of feints and fancies;
used to lift my eyes,
Ard take you by surprise
With smiles and upward glances.
And now, where'er | 60.

And blue the flame burns low,
And doors creak to and fro,
and silent grows the laughter.

A golden buck is simply Welsh
rarebit with poached egg placed upon
It. Take fresh, but rather rich, cheese,
aud cut into small, even-s led pieces, the
quantity to be regulated by the size or
number of rarebits needed, and melt
upon rather slow ire. If the cheese
be dry add small qusutity of butter
A little (say a sherry-glass to each rare
bit) sour ale, or in its absence ordinary
bitter or fresh ale, should be added as
the cheese melts. After the cheese is
melted and the above in
gradients stirred in, add small guam
tity of celery salt, and Immediately pour
upon piece of toast previously placed
upon p hot plate. By plscinga poached
egg upon this ii becomes golden buck
The further addition of piece of boiled
bacon renders il a Yorkshire buck.
