narck cast 623.
The Bismarck and Black Hills road will be

The country west Of the dividing line be-
tween Montana and Dakota, orthe Bad Lands,
is a gently rolling prairie and good soil.
The permanent bridge over the Little Mis-
souri, is finished, all bat laying OF the cross
lies. 1t is 400 feet long and substantially
built.
The burning coal beds in the Bad Lands
look very curious at night, and the roar III
some places can be heard for several hundred

sink a well.
The next jump the supply store makes will
be frsm the Little Missouri into Montana, al

Never before was Owsley hall SO densely
packed as it was last night, and seldom has a
Butte audience been SO we'll satisfied with .
dramatic entertainment Considering the
scarcity OF "props." and the limited facilities
available for producing the desired
scenic effects, the manner in which
Our American Cousin " was put upon the
boards reflected great credit on manager
blalsdel. During the first act the play failed
10 evoke much enthusiasm, but as
the nature of the piece and the character OF
the central figure, Lord Dundreary, gradual
~ unfolded, the interest increased until,
towards the close of the second act,
a definite and proper conception OF the
humor Of the piece manifested itself, and the
continuous and uproarious applause soon at
tested that the audience was captured. Frem
this point till the final drop of the curtain
the performers scored a series of triumphs,
and the ebullitions of wit and humor which
the authorput into their mouths were applaud
| ed to the echo.
Our American Cousin without Dundreary,
to use a trite comparison, wsuld resemble the
play of Hamlet minus the character of the
melancholy Dane. Everything depended On
Mr.. Learock, but he was fully equal to the
responsibilities Of the part he assumed.
With the exception, perhaps, Of Mr.. Coul-
dock, who visited the territory some years
ago, Mr.. Learock is the most finished actor
that has tod the Montana boards. His char
acterization of the titled swell, who, though
apparently weak in the upper story, is by lie
means the "d-ass''t that his conduct indicates
would be difficult to improve upon, being
drawn exactly to correspond with the exag
eerated notions some people entertain in re
gard to the petted scions of English nobility
The part is full Of rare good hits, which til,
audience were quick to appreciate and re
ward. AS Asa T~renchard, the American
Cousin, eccentric but whole-souled, Mr.. Jacl
Martin was very happy. He Invested tn
character of that rant and noise with which
, is so frequently played, and held the miro
l UP to nature in a sensible but vigorou
delineation. Mr.. Chas. Fletcher, as Abe
] Murcott, was rather awkward in his first AZ
Il psarance, the part being evidently unsulte
t to his ability. OF the old-time f~avorite, Boz
e worth, in his personation of Sir Edward,
is unnecessary to say. he gave satisfaction
The fact that he appeared is evidence Of tina
a Mr.. Wallace, Willie Blaisdell and F. Rea el
acted their somewhat %unimportant parts qui
creditably.
l. The leading lady, Miss Georgia Tyler,ma'
a very favorable impression as Floren
le Trenchard, and has a fine stage presence, b
m we should imagine that the lady would exc
c. in pieces of a more emotional nature. S
lie is sure 70 become a ~favorite. As Ma
Mt Meredith, Miss Hattie Foley was very cap
a waiting. She has q well modulated a
n, musical voice and is a m,
Id vivacious and charming little actress. NJ

en- be desired, and made the most of tn

into a gentle trot, they began to con-
verse.
"How fortunate it was that De Lanier
chose the other road instead of this ~
said Louise.
La Santerelle chuckled.
He selected the other road, lady be-
cause he thought you had taken it. You
remember my asking you for your
glover That was a ruse to deceive
him. / purposely dropped it in the
road so that he would think you had
passed over the spot. But let us make
haste, for the sky is becoming tinged
with red. and we must reach your
friends house ere daybreak."
An hour later they were in a place of
safety. In a week they had set sail for
America.
Louise felt no regret at leaving her
native land. The death of her only
relatives and the trials through which
she had passed made her anxious to seek
new country in which to found home
with Eugene and La Santerelle. For
the latter accompanied them and lived
with them unto a good old age, and
after he died his memory was ever cher
ished in the hearts of Louise and her
descendants.

The BumbIe.Bee.

Did you ever stop to consider the inn
mense power possessed by a tumble beep
An insect weighing no more than tenth
of an ounce is capable OF raising a
man weighing 220 pounds from a bench
in the public park, and then have lots Of
lifting material left. Just stop and
think of it. The stinger of the bee is
not near as large as the finest needle,
but such is the force behind it that it
can be driven through heavy cloth pants,
backed by merino drawers and into the
flesh. If a man could WELD crowbar
in comparison, he could drive it through
seven sawmills and distillery at one
blow. Nature could not give the bee
teeth and claws without spelling its
beauty, and in compensation she give
this stinger as weapon of attack and
defense. If the bee had no weapon, ants,
beetles and bugs could cuff him arouud
as they pleased; but, as it is, he is the
boss of the walk, and won't take word
from any of them.
The bumble-bee is not naturally OF a
quarrelsome disposition, but he cart
sit down over half an hour without feel
ing that some one was doing him great
wrong. If left to himself, he will
crawl up your coat sleeve, look around
and go about his business; but if wei
coined with blow between the eyes, he
is going to be revenged If he breaks
leg. He invar ably closes his eye when
he stings, and you have only to look q
bee square in the face to see when he is
fooling around, and when he means
fourteen per cent. per annum.
The bayfield, is a favorite esort OF the
bumble-bee, but you can find him al
most everywhere else If you try hard.
| Having no pair of long hind legs he
cannot build his nest in marsh, like n
frog; and having no beak in which to
| carry straw he cannot nest in p tree like
bird. He therefore takes to the grass,
and under the roots of an old STUMP. or
among pile of old rails, he rears his
gentle young, and gives them printed in
structions as to the difference between
stinging six-inch stove pipes and runa-
way boys. The knowledge of old bees
| is powerful. They know where the
| schoolhouse is. They know when the
school is out. They can sail miles away
from home, get in their work on n
| farmers son wedding out corn, and re-
| turn home without missing fence cor
ner, or need of an afternoon nap. As r
rule they are early risers. Barefooted
boys driving up their COWS at daylight
| will find the humble bee out of bed, and
ready to begin the arduous labors ofthe
day. Along about sundown he quits
| work, counts noses to see If the family
are all in, and then slows himself away
for night of calm and peaceful re
| nose.

The Power Of Enjoyment. a..

Comparatively.few people possess uni
formly cheerful dispositions. Most of
us have our sad hours and moods. But,
whatever his disposition, a man is
bound by the laws OF his own being,
and by those of his social relations, to
cultivate the virtue of cheerfulness as
siduously and constantly. He has no
more right TO injure his neighbor's hap
piness than tolinterfere within is pecuni-
ary property, and he cannot indulge in
venting ill-humor or spleen, with
gloomy forebodings or complaints, or
even carrying a sad, sour, frowning
visage, without sensibly diminishing
the enjoyment or comfort of others, and
thus Infringing on their rights. Any
individual who has tried to do so can
win himself from dependency and
surilness. The power of enjoyment is
in itself a faculty capable OF improve
ment, and as practice always enhances
power, it is a good thing to form the
habit of enjoyment. 1t is not true that
the sources OF pleasure are few and
rare, but il is sadly true that we pass
them by unnoticed. We crave the ex-
citement of business or politics of fash
ionable life, and forget the world OF in.
nocent enjoyment that we trample un-
der foot Nature and art offer then
treasures in vain, the loveliness OF child
hood, the attractions of home, the rea
satisfaction of honest labor, the simple
pleasure of little things all plead for ut
terance, but we repulse them. How
can we possess a cheerful spirit and I
glad heart when we scornfullY despis
our simple pleasures9 Every innOcen
means of happiness should be welcomed
and gloomy thoughts persistently ban
] ished.

The Seven Bibles OF the World.

The seven bibles of the world are the
Koran OF the Mohamme dams, the Eddas
of the Scandinavians, the Try Pitikes of
the Buddhists, the Five Kings of the
Chinese, the three Vedas of the Hin
docs, the Zendavesta, and the Scrip
lures of the Christians. The Koran is
the m ost recent of these seven bibles,
and not older than the seventh century
of our era. 1t is compound of quota
tiOns from the Old and New Testaments,
the Talmud. and the Gospel of st. Bar.
nabas. The Eddas of the Scandinavians
were first published in the fourteenth
century. The Pitikes of the Buddhists
contain sublime morals and pure aspila-
tions, but their author lived and oied in
| the sixth century before Christ. There
| is nothing of excellence in these sacred
| books notsfound in the Bible. The sa-
cred writings of the Chinese are called
| the Five Kings, "kipg" meaning web
of cloth or the warp that keeps the
threads in their place. They contain
| the best sayings of the best sages on the
! ethico- political duties of life. These
sayings cannot be traced to period
| higher than the eleventh century b. Z.
| The three Vedas are the most ancient
| books of the HindOos, and it is the opin-
| ion of Max Muller, Wilson, johnson
and Whitney that they are not older
| than eleven centuries b G. The Zenda-
vesta of the Persians is the grandesG OF
all sacred books next to our Bible. Zor-
caster, whose sayings it contains, was
born in the twelfth century B. @. Moses
lived and wrote his Pentateuch fifteen
centuries B c., and therefore has clear
margin of 800 yelrs older t ian the most
ancient OF the other sacred writings.
