rived this afternoon and was met bv a process
SION of 1000. The General, in answering
tie welcoming the speech, expressed gratifica-
ton at his return after seventeen years to a
place whence his late military career began.
He said he was pleased to see, as they would
be to know, that in every State through which
he had passed the decorations and speeches
were the same as those here to-day. The
stars and stripes were floating, most of the
speakers were ex-Confederates and their
speeches showed present devotion to the flag
for which we fought, which is all we ever
asked of them. If we should hereafter be
assailed by a foreign foe they would unite
with us as one people. He believed them
sincere, and hoped they expressed the senti-
ments OF the great majority for united as one
people united as generous rivals in building
up our several States for the whole union and
feeling that loyalty for the flag, we are a
great people, the greatest union in the world
to stand divided we are too nearly equal man
to man not to be a great people. Let all hope
that there may be a genuine union of senti,
ment, a generous rivalry for building up Of
our several States and national pride above
State pride.

COAST NEWS.

The new White crusher is being used in

equal to thirty or stamps. Its cost. anywhere
near the track would be about $1,000. 1t Is
an Improvement on the English method used
i'll Swansea, only improved a little to suit Ne
vada. The principle is simple. Five wheels,
one inside the other, revolve against the iron
shoes, two turning one way and three the
other. That is, the wheel next the axle turns
with it, the one next around it goes the other
way, the next one with the axle, the fourth
the other way, and the outside one with the
axle. The whole are enclosed in q heavy cyl

Helena is the objective poiul, Mr.. Dunn
says the surveyors are making a preliminary

that route proves practicable the road will be

Montana to Helena, otherwise we are left to
infer that Butte will be dropped out to one

HOW THEY POP THE QUESTION.

And though I've noticed many,
! really think you are, old gal,
As trim a craft as any;
And if you'll only say the word,
Through every KIND of weather.
Just blast my timbers if we don't
Go cruising on together!"
The poet. with enraptured gaze,
Points out a single star,
'''Tis thus. sweet lady. that you shine
On mortals from afar;
But, all il is my fondest hope
Thoush selfish, must own-
That in some modest, vine-wreathed cot,
You'll shine for me alone"
The dancing master-French, of course
Thinks earnestly of mating,
And seeks some lovely widow with
A bow eXcruciating.
MADAME, 70 little heart is in re hope
You owe a leetle beet.
And go re way OF life wiz me,
Madame, l kiss your feet"
The actor quotes from many plays,
And swears by all the powers.
His hand shall build his Annabelle
A cot among the flowers.
Without her smile, he eer is like
A ship without a rudder;
Then talks of dark despair and death,
Until he makes her shudder.
The tradesman, with a business eye,
A partner seeks for life
For sure the best investment is
A tidy, loving wife.
he sees her as q kind Of stock
To sell, as any other,
u out the requisite amount,
And buys her from her mother.
And Pat, the coachman, winks at Bid,
AS she fits from room to room,
TIT ever-merry chambermaid,
With busting pan and broom,
He says: NJ darlin', when we've laid
Us by a hape O. money,
Well git the praste to tie the knot,

To make mine shirts, und COOK de kraut,
Und cherry tIngs TO do;
To feed der horse, and slop der peeg,
Und tend mine papies, too"
And even Sam, the barber man,
At Nan rolls up her eyes,
And talks of bliss,
With most heart-rending signs.
eff you don't CUB dat lily hand
To dis ERE lub-sick niger,
He puts dis pistol to his head,
And den he pulls de trigser!"
TITS thus mankind rush to their fate;
For, with q brilliant light,
That little elfin being, Love,
Has power beyond the sight;
Like children's barks, adoWn the falls,
Like waters still. below,
Some glide along without q heart
And some to ruin 60.

what the Omaha Bee" Thinks OF this
Growing Territory.

The emigration to Montana has been won-l
dertul, Notwithstanding the fact that the
Journey tn the Territory has been Il disagree
able one, with long and tedious hours OF
staging necessary to reach her cities and min
ing camps. Equally marvellous has been the
development Of the Territory, although the
commercial relations haye been crippled, hel
imports and exports having been slow il
transit by freighting trains. But yet Montana
has grown to be one of the most promising
Territories, and her people may we'll be prouc
of her progress and wealth. The Utah j
Northern railroad, which has been pushed
rapidly forward, is now across the Montana
line, and within two hundred miles of the
capital, and the people, who have ever beel
noted for their enterprise, will not rest con
tent till this stretch is spanned. The building
Of this railroad line. which is the longes
three-foot gauge i'll the world, is a great even
to Montana. She can get her vast exports
increasing all the while, to market in reason
able time, and at a comparatively reasonable
per cent. No matter how unjust a rallwa,
corporation may be, there is yet good to resul
to the people, since business can be transacted
on a safer basis with the knowledge that pro
ducts can be put upon the market before an.
great changes shall take place. In the yea
that is to come we may expect to see thous

Add to this the value of The precious met

and it will be seen that already materia

But the increase from now forward will b

men with small capital embarked in stoci

RUSSIA.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-A dispatch from st.
Petersburg says: 1t may be unintelligable to
many persons abroad how the Nihilists sue
ceeded in doing their work in the very resi-
dence of the imperial family. Probably no
other building in St. Petersburg is less safe
than the winter palace. 1t has always been a
refuge for numberless vagabonds, workmen,
friends of the servants and others-many with
out passports who would not live with i'm
punity any where else. The imperial ukase of
last April gave full powers to General Gourko
to search the buildings of the palace. But
even that severe governor-general could hardly
venture, such is the Russian administration,
to interfere with the special authorities of the
imperial residence. There is an old Russian
law which gives the right of sanctu-
airy to criminals taking refuge with
in the buildings of the imperial
palaces as far as concerns the ordinary police
who have not jurisdiction in such cases.
No fewer than five thousand persons have been
living in the winter palace, and nobody has
ever known the precise duties of one-haEf of
them.
The appointment of Gen. Welikoff as virtual
dictator has created good impression, espe-
cially in circles where he himself and his pre-
vious civil administration are best known. His
rule at Korkhoff, though mild, has been effec-
tive in REFRESHING disorders. His views gener-
ally are known to be liberal. All classes feel
the measures taken are necessary and wise and
think Gen. Welikoff is the man most fitted fol
the place. No well Informed person believes in
any widespread conspiracy amongst dlgnlta-
ries, court officials or the military.
