excitabIe gentleman was out of sound
mind, and having the distaste for being
made a ''laughing- stock"-which is
strong in most people, feared lest he
had singled me out to render me absurd
in the eyes of all assembled there. A
more violent tug, however, made me
turn with an indignant remonstrance.
ssTo what am indebted, sir, for this
unusual conduct" I asked.
"What the deuce are, u0w doing here
at alp" he replied in an angry tone.
e. Mad, - l said inwardly. s.Mad as .
%sir," I answered, solemnly ..you
must be laboring under some delusion.
As 1 have not the honor of your
acquaintance, you can have no
possible right to question where 1
should or should not be. At the
same time, I feel bound to remark that
this is not proper moment for CONVEX
sation, and must beg you not to
address me again; at any rate while
the acting is going on. If you have
anything to say to me afterward shall
be happy to hear you"
Surely this is right, for i felt I had
spoken well, and doubtless he thought
SO, too; .for though he looked at me
from time to time he did not speak to
me again till the curtain fell at the end
of the first act. But no sooner had it
touched the floor than he turned on me
at once.

Well, of course, went down into

I became quite q favorite with all the

THE TALKING WIRE.
How the Indians Regard the Won
derful Telegraph.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
"The telegraph line to the Pacific
coast must be kept up at any cost. T"
Such was the imperative order OF
General Pat Conner, the noted Cali
fornia Indian fighter, to the veteran
patrol upon the old California trail on
the last year of the civil war. Men
were scarce and the Indians were
more numerous than ever before.
Conner was organizing the largest
military expedition ever sent into the
hostile Indian country. He had de-
termined to open a road from Fort
Laramie through the Big Horn, Ton
que river and upper Yellowstone
country to Bannock and the Montana
mining regions, and to obtain a force
large enough to insure success nearly
every military fort or stockade Oh the
telegraph line was deplete of fighting
men. 1t was the summer of 1865,
and times were very exciting in the
east. kilograms we're eagerly sought
for in California, but the difficulty in
keeping open an uninterrupted
electric line through 900 miles of hos
tile Indian country was only realized
by the brave but scattered military
patrol engaged in that duty. When
ever the red skins crossed the line
they tore down the wire, burned down
the poles, and in many instances ar
ried away the wire, and after coiling it
up would throw it into the nearest
creek or river. The 800 miles of line
between Fort Laramie and South Pass
we're intrusted to the care of thirty
your.g mel of the Eleventh Ohio Cav
elry, under command of the late Ed
ward Creighton, of Omaha, the super
intendent of the overland telegraph
line. 1t was to him and his small
band of cavalrymen that General Con-

ACCORDING to Consul Van Buren,,
the heavy sizing of white cotton goods
Tor the eastern markets practissd by
English manufacturers is neither a
fraud nor a mistake. The people of
China and Japan use such goods as
Innings for winter garments. They
claim that the sizing does not %injure
the goods, while it adds materially to
their weight and warmth. In view of
this, Mr.. Van Buren, suggests that it
might be well for our manufacturers
to inquire into the matter, and adds;
Goods made especially for this
market of lighter weight, and prepared
in the II desired by the people,
could be sold; and the question
whether it should be done is import
ant enough to merit serious considera-
tion." He also thinks that in cheaper
wooden goods, in groceries, provisions,
leather, lamps and fittings, and some
other articles, we should secure a
much larger proportion of the trade.
But he admits that in cotton yarn
Americans cannot compete with Brit
ish producers. They ought, however,
to be able to do so, as they have the
raw material right at their doors, as
good machinery as the world affords,
and distance is in their favor.

PAPERS in the Republican valley,
where the crops are good this
year, find fault with the crop
reports of THE BE. The BEE, in
the compilation of its crop reports,
used every care to secure the most re-
liable statistics. Its correspondents
were selected from the best informed
men of the various counties in the
state. The figures as given by them
were carefully examined and compared
and the most favorable reports inya-
riably selected. Later reports have
fully verified the figures of TnE
BEE. Taking as an average the whole
state our wheat crop will not average
over eight bushels to the acre. Oh
course in some sections of the state il
will go far above that figure, but the
average will be about as above stated.
The hot weather is helping the corn
out nicely and the prospects of an av-
erage crop are good. The entire yield
of wheat and corn will probably be
larger than last year, owing to the in
creased acreage, but it is worse than
folly to deceive ourselves and others by
the announcement of an enormous
harvest. The BEE states facts as il
finds them, without gloss or yarnish.

MR. JAMES REDPATH is a genial
gentleman and a genuine sympathizer
with Ireland, but he sometimes gives
too much rein to his fancy. His re-
mark in a recent speech, that should
he be arrested no English nobleman
could cross the Mississippi without
risk of being shot or held as a hostage
for his release, is a decided stretch of
the imagination. While Americans
would greatly regret to hear of Mr..
Redpath's arrest, English noblemen
would come and go as much as here
tofore without hindrance or molesta-
ton. The sentiment of obedience to
law is strong in the breast of every
American and no one knows this bet

tions from standard authors have be-
come quite indispensable to every well
regulated library. Life is too short
and time too precious for men with
ordinary leisure to search through
numberless volumes for a favorite
poem or literary selection. On this
account a volume which brings within
a small compass the most valuable
excerpts of our literature and pre-
sents them in cleartype and elegant en-
cravings is a treasure which should be
possessed by every family. Of all the
collections which have been printed
of late years, "Gems for the Preside
is on many accounts the most com
plete and best. Prose and poetry are
both found within the pages and the
selections are made with a mastery
skill and effect from the storehouse of
ancient and modern literature. The
book will appeal to every emotion.
Two hundred authors have con-
tributod to its pages. Pathos, affec-
ton, wit, humor, religion, arc all duly
regarded by the compiler, and the re-
suit Is a volume which stands un-
equalled as the embodiment
of the ripest thoughts and u~tterances
of the best and wisest minds of all
times and ages. The publishers have
done their part equally as well as the
editor. The illustrations are elegant
and of the highest style of art, the pa
per heavy, the type clear and distinct
and the binding rich and durable.
We have no hesitation in commencing
this excellent volume to our readers
as a book well worth the money ano
which will afford an inexhaustible
fund Of instruction, entertainment
and amusement to the family circle.
