FORT KEoGH, NJ T., May 12.-The re.
construction of the road on the south side
of the Yellowstone river between this
post and Fort Custer, having been COM
plcted and Can;. Frank II. Baldwin's
command, now on their way back, it may
be we'll to state that this road, passing
over as it does a very rolling country,
internlingled with "bad lands," has now
a good route. BY travelling this route the
traveller will find the distance some miles
less than the mail route, running on the
north side Of the Yellowstone, AID saves
expense of crossing the Yellowstone lit
tie above this post and at Terry's Landing
by ferry boat. This is not all for he also
evades the toll-gate. The saving Of these
three items will prove aGvantageously to
many travellers. The once mlry crossings
of this road have been supplied at much
trouble and labor with bridges and
through the ingenuity and perseverance
Of Capt Baldwin, a very strong and de-
sirable bridge, strengthened with break
waters on clthtr side and an ice breaker,
has been constructed over the Rose Bud,
which, from its miry and quick-sandy
bottom, has SO often proved detrimental
to travellers. Bridges have also been built
over Tullock s creek Oh this route, thus
leaving it a very desirable thoroughfarc.
Can't. J. B. Dewees, I'd Cavalry com
mand, who have been patrolling the north
bank of the Yellowstone from the mouth
of the Rose Bud to Terry's Landing, have
been relieved by a command Of the 5th

Cartin, of the 9TH Infantry. ...

THE SOLID SOUTH.
Solid Against Bribery, Corruption and
Whisky Rings.

Gen. Chalmers speech at Yonkcrs N. Y.
"More than all, Hancock represents a
party which knows no sectional lines.
Garfield represents a party born of sec
tional agitation, n'rtured i'll sectional
hate, and which to-day provokes q
solid Democratic South, in the hope
that it may organize a solid Republican
North. They tell you the government
is in danger from solid South and that
strong government is necessary to
suppress Southern violence. tell you,
my fcllow-ctizcns, that strong gov
ernment means a weak people, and a
weak people, willing to submit to strong
government, means the end Of the Re-
public and the beginning of dcspotism.
If tie South were solid for any evil
purpose it might be well to listen to
such clamor, but it is not. She is solid
in her prayers for peace and prosperity
She is solid for honesty, economy, and
good government. She is solid for the
old flag, and a gallant Union soldier who
bore it in triumph Oh the field. She is
solid against bribery, corruption, whis
ky rings, and fraudulent contracts. Ii
, short, she is solid for Democracy anI
against the Republican party.
"But come here to ask you What i
| is YOU fear from the South, and why i
is yo,, refuse to trust the Democratic
party on account of it's Southern mem
bers9 You did not fear the South whel

to the constitution of the United States
which have been ratified by all on

"The cry that we will bankrupt til
government with Southern war claim
is equally absurd. None can be pai'
under the law, except the claims {
loyal men, and the idea that the ConfeC
crate Brigadiers should bankrupt th
government and impoyerish themselve

nouncement that "the loss of the jewels
would be less felt had there not been
between the two bottoms of the boy al
most f2OO in bank-notes, ofwhich, un-
fortunately, the numbers had not been
taken"
Probably the intelligent reader sees
nv plan, but certainly did not choose
to explain it to Mr.. Muggridge, when
an hour later, that worthy but excitable
gentleman rode very hot and very red,
up the shadeless road, to complain Of

ed him to wait for few days and then

thing.
That evening, as usual, l left the
ground at dusk, after spending most OF
the day watching-though apparently
engaged in something else whether any

yards from the grounds, where lay the
box on which especially depended as

up my mind to watch and wait.

Ten Surely they should have come by
this time. Still-Was that sound
on the roade Yes, and coming from the
village, too. There were evidently sew
eral of them and began to regret not
having brought some help. Nearer they
came, laughing and talking, as | eau
tiously drew back from the road. And
now they were opposite the spot where
the box lay hid. But-what! They've
gone by, and in the hearty guftaw of the
man furthest away of the tree, | recog-
nize Farmer Lobbins, an honest fellow,
whose acquaintance | had made during
my short stay.
After this sell, had almost given up,
and was actually making up my mind
to abandon the affair, when a faint
sound from down the road made me
crouch as low aspossible once more 1t
was no hoax this time. A short, thin
man, whom l easily recognized as a
man-of-all-work who had been helping
the gardener that day, was creeping
stealthily down the road close to the
bushes. As soon as he reached the spot
where the box had been thrown, he lit
small lantern to aid him in his search.
This time felt sure, and so when the
man blew out the light, after secur'
ing the supposed treasure, the capture
was made.

ticularly delighted next morning to see
Mr.. Muggridge coming up the road to
the house, accompanied by the editor
of the Barrowtown Weekly Banner, who
had determined, he said, to write up
ahc occurrence himself. But there was
no escape; and so, prepared for host
of questions, l was walking slowly to
meet them, when my eye was caught
by something bright among the bushes
by the roadside. Yes, there could be
no doubt of it; there lay the lost box,
empty, of course. Without stopping,
however, walked as calmly as possible
or to the inspector, and was in&oduced
to Mr.. Shears, the editor. 1t was simply
wonderful how obliging had become.
I even. when Mr.. Muggridge limited
that he was pressed for time, volunteer
ed myself to give Mr.. Shears the infor-
NATION he wished, and to go over the
premises with him. Once left alone
with the Jealous representative OF the
press, gave that gentleman all thi

Fight With a Rattlesnake.

Saturday as Mr.. II. W. Ripley and an
other Portland gentleman were riding leis-
urely along the Jackson road near Glen
station, on the Portland & Ogdensburg, they
heard sharp rattle in the bushes to the left
of the carriage. The horse SHE'D instantly
to the other side of the road and whirled the
buggy past the place at lively gait. But
Mr.. Ripley caught sight of the owner of the
rattle, huge snake of dingy brown color,
nearly five feet long, and as big round as a
large mans wrist. Mr.. Ripley stopped the
horse, jumped out Of the carriage, and pick
ing up small stick ran back to kill the rep
tile. The snake was slowly crossing the
road, but when he saw his natural enemy
coming towards him, drew himself into
coil and with fiery eyes and erected crest
awaited the combat. Without pausing to
think Wheelock rushed up to hit the snake
when the latter suddenly sprang forward and
Ripley barely escaped bite by leaping to
one side. Before the snake could coil again
his assailant got in a good blow on his head
which partially stunned the snake and before
he could recover. another powerful blow
from heavier stick placed his snakeship
hors du combat. The snake measured two
and three-quarters inches through, and the
end Of his tail was ornamented with eight
rattles. 1t is said this specie of the snake
family have the first rattle when three years
old and after that one rattle year as long as
they live. If this assertion is true this
snake had been running around loose for the
past eleven years. Mr.. Thompson of North
Conway, has stuffed this reptiles skin and
has it on exhibition in his front yard The
rattles may be seen at this ofice.-Argus
