A Boys Account Of Himself.
TBostOn Post1

A small boy who seems utterly desti-
tute of holiness, is up in the country
spending his vacation. If he don't make
things lively and bring his parents to
grief before the summer is over, it will
be wonderfully remarkable. Here is an
extract from letter written by him to a
schoolmate in Cambridge. 'This is the
best place in the world to have fun.
There is six of us fellows, and an old man
who lives here said he wished we all was
in hell; we throwed his wheelbarrow in
the well and he couldn't get it out, and
that is what made him swear. |

HAYES Farm.

Harvesting on the Hayes farm is pro-
crossing finely, under the able manage
ment Of Chas NJ Cushman. The cutting
of the grain will be finished to-day, and
and stacking will be commenced to-mor
row at noon. MI. Cushman says that the
wheat will average twenty bushels to the
acre of "A No. hard" and oats will av-

A few acres planted in potatoes will
yield largely, and taken all in all, the

The North Pacific management is in
augurating many improvements in their
buildings at Bismarck. The depot has
been extended sixty feet and now a
new telegraph Office is being arranged.
The ticket Office will also be enlarged.
As soon as the bridge is completed per;
manent docks will be provided near tho
old site, and substantial brick and stone
warehouses erected. The management
displays disposition to do nothing by
half, and the improvements now under
way form but the introductory of what
the people may expect.

River Tonnage,

The Fargo Argus says: Superintend-
ent Hobart, who reached home last even
ing from Bismarck, informs the Argus
that the jetties he has con-
.tructed to protect the railroad ware
houses at that place have proven en-
tirely adequate to the purpose. Their river
Is now washing into the bank below the
jetties, but is completely blufed in front
of the warehouses. The latter now con-
tains over 5000 tons Of freight, and the
cars which have been kept in enforced
1dleness by the failure of the steamboats,
to remeve freight promptly, are coming
again into service. The record Of the
past months shew very clearly that the
river tonnage controlled at Bismarck is
inadequate to the demands Of the trade.

Notice..

The telegraph wires "went down. at
o'clock yesterday afternoon, since which
hour no dispatches have been received or
transmitted, and for this reason the TRI-
BuNE is sconpelled to appear this morn
ing without its usual telegraphic news. If
the telegraph Co. had half the enterprise
of a private citizen, or made improve
ments where it would be for its financial
interests to do so, it would provide more
adequate facilities for Bismarck and
other important points. Extra wires
would be strung and the rotten poles
would be replaced with substantial ones.

The city of New Haven is excited over
the mysterious death of Miss Jennie Cra-
mer, young lady of good family and &C.
know]edged to be the handsomest woman
in the city. Her body was found face
down upon the sand of the beach last Sat-
urday, and various theories were advanced
to account for death.
Spotted Tail, the big Injun whom
Grow Dog recently sent to the happy
hunting grounds, didn't like bald-headed
men. Two years ago, at the council at
Camp Robinson, he said to the gentle-
men who came to talk to them: 'Go back
to the Great Father and tell him to send
no more bald-headed men to treat with
us. I never saw bald-headed man who

The annual convention of American
bankers in session at Niagara Falls is
largely attended. Delegates are present
from all over the country, many of them

on the finances Of the nation, and one on
national banks, by John Knox, Comp
troller of the currency.
The secret meeting Of Irish delegates
at the Palmer house seems to he not al
together harmonious affair. The time
has been mainly spent in trying one Geo.
J. West, deleE ate from Providence, R.
l., who was reported as being spy, and
was requested to withdraw from the meet
ing, which he did. P. w. Grove, the
Peoria man of internal machine fame,
was interviewed and said regarding the
skirmishing fund over which the secret
conclave is quarreling: "O'Donnovan
Rosa and the United Irishmen have
skirmishing fund. There is also skir-
mishing fund of $4,000. The United
Irishman fund is distinct from the Irish
World fund. The United Irishmen fund
is being spent in work, as this body is
composed Of workers. Then there is the
fund collected by The Irish World, which
is, God only knows where. There was
100000 collected, and if they are able to
show $4,000 I will be surprised, and
take back all that ever said about it."

Probing the President.


Washington special The President
was told after his wounds were dressed
this morning, by his physicians, that they
thought they would have to make another
incision, so as to facilitate the discharge
of pus, as the canal already made was in
sufficient.
"When will you make il" the President
asked Of DR.. Agnew, not knowing, as all
who had read the morning papers knew,
that all the preparations had been made
for it.
DR.. Agnew replied: "Right away, ifyou
are willing"
The President showed from his sur
prised look that he had not anticipated
this answer. His next question was
whether the operation would be an exten-
sive one. He asked this in such way
that DR.. Agnew felt satisfied that the
President labored under the impression
that the surgeons intended to explore for
the bullet, and, if found, cut it out. To
relieve any such apprehension DR.. Agnew
explained at some length exactly
what was intended to be done, and
what was expected III consequence Of the
incision to be made, assuring the Presi-
dent that they had no intention Of ex-
tracting the bullet, and the operation was
a simple one in character and extent, and
could hardly be attened with difficulty.
The President listened attentively, and
finally, after apparently canvassing the
question IN his mind, said: II am ready
if you are." In moment he asked if it
would be attended with much pain add
ing: II can't stand much pain" He was
told there would not necessarily be much
pain, but that it was thought best to ad-
minister an anaesthetic, in the form Of
ether, so as to deaden the sensibilltles.
At Ithe first opeation, performed by DR..
Agnew three weeks ago, the President ex-
pressed himself in very positive terms
against taking an anaesthetic, saying that
he preferred to know what was going on,
even if it did pain, to standing the chances
OF taking anything to prevent it. 1t was
evident, however, that the surgeon did
not consider him strong enough to stand
any operation in his debilitated condi-
ton without the use Of ether, and this
point was frankly communicated to him.
The president then consented, and prepe.
rations were then begun. A sponge sat.
urated with q mixture Of ether and ch]O-
roform was applied to his nose, incased
in cornucopia made of towel. Before
inhaling it he took a long breath and
then began the inhalation. Itrequired
but short time to produce the condition
required, and in less than twenty minutes
the operation was completed and he had
fully recovered from its influence. Upon
becoming conscious he opened his eyes,
and looked around, and, seeing the ply
sicians standing around him, he nervous
" asked if the operation had been per-
formed yet. On being told that it had
he next asked whether it was success.
He was told that they were gratitied
with it,
