HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF THE YELLowsToNE,(

General Orders, No. 3: The district com
mander knows no better nor more gratifying
way of conveying to the troops the commen.
dation of the Department Commander than
by publishing the following letters entire:
HEADQrARTERs DEPARTMENT OF DAKOTA
| :, ST: PAUL, Mimi, May 29th, $780,
Commanding officer District of YeLoustone !.
R:-The Department Commander has re
ceived and read with very great satisfaction
the report OF Captain f. d. Baldwin, 5th In
fantry, of the operations of companies and
Il, 9th Infantry, under his command from
tDe 4th to the 18th and 18th of March, 1880.
Inc long marches made by these troops by
night ana by day, in the most inclement
month OF the year, detached at one time from
thelrl train for four days with no rations.
blankets or shelter, other than that carried on
their ponies; their rapid march of 12O miles
IN 30 hours on discovery OF the enemy's trail
the last 80 miles at trot and run, and this,
too, one day after their rations had become
exhausted and, finally the successful termi-
nation of this long pursuit in an encounter
with the hostile party and capture of all their
animals except those which they rode, show
that these troops have been ably handled and
have most faithfully answered the demands
upon them for extraordinary service. That
the hostile Indians, managed under fire and
mounted, to break through the thin line by
which alone they could be surrounded, leav-
ing behind them everything save the animals
which they rode, does no discredit to these
troops.
The Department. Commander is satisfied that |
they did everything possible for any troops to |
do, and they are entitled to the full need of |
praise of their superiors. He desires you to
express fully his Acknowledgements for this
service to Captain Baldwin, 5th Infantry,
Lieutenants Bowen and Liggett,
5th Infantry, and Company K, 5th Infantry,
who were engaged with him, and Lieutenant
Borden and Company l, 5th Infantry, who
participated in and contributed to the success
Of the operations.

Your obedient servant.

Thomas JeffersOn's Grave.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

An Associated Press dispatch last week
did not give accurately .he conditions upon
which the heirs of Thomas Jefferson have
agreed to relinquish the burial ground at Mon
ticello to the Government of the United
States They do not claim that his descend
ants to the latest generation must be
allowed sephulture there, as would ap-
pear from that statement. The owners of
the lot have prepared and submitted to the
Government deed which they are ready
to execute, which is conditioned as follows.
The conveyance is made subject, however, to
the express proviso and conditions following:
THAT the remains of Thomas Jefferson
shall never be removed from where they now
are; that the remains of the other persons
whose graves are within the lot conveyed by
this deed shall be allowed to remain where
they are, with the privilege of the relatives of
such persons 10 remove such remains or to
erect monuments over such graves if they shall
wish to do so; that the remains of such of the
grandchildren of Thomas Jefferson as have
died, or as are now living, or the remains of
any husband or wife of any such grandchil-
dren, but the remains of no other person
may be buried within the lot
aforesaid, and that monuments may be erec-
ted over the graves OF such persons, and that
no inclosure shall be made around the grave
of Thomas Jefferson which shall not include
IN It the rest of the family graveyard" AS
will be perceived, this demsnds no right of
sepulture to the heirs of Mr.. Jefferson's

Sing, sing, sing,

Ethereal thing,
Even the badness
OF utter madness
Hardly explains
The moral declension,
The physical tension,
The awful suspension
Racking the brains.
Bite, bite, bite,
Enhancing delight
Enduring the night,
Pain without ceasing,
Ever increas Ing,
Sharpens the bill.
When would compass thee,
When thy doom would be,
Still thou escapeet ne
Drinking thy I'll.
Sing, sing, sing,
With gossamer wing,
Ethereal thing,
soon will the morning,
See thee in mourning
For thy misdeeds.
Then will my triumph b.,
Then will punish thee
For persecuting me
Words will be deeds.

chute between those levels and materially
facilitates our operations. On u 2iOO

commenced ~excavating the chamber from
which to sink Wine No. l to the level
below. The southeast drift has been eI.
tended 81 feet through q heavy vein mat

The main east drift from the Union SHAFT
has been connected with the southeast
