A Beautiful Custom.

a. minister, who has been enjoying his
annual holiday in France, thus relates
how he witnessed q touching incident of
peasant life:
We were just leaving a village church,
and debating whether it were better to
return to Paris in half-famished con-
dition, or try to satisfy our appetites in
the most forlorn and dirty of French VIII
lagos, when we saw approaching bridal
party, dressed in their gala attire, and
presenting charmingly picturesque ap.
pearance. The first couple consisted of
a rather pretty, dark-eyed girl in wed.
ding costume, and young man with a
very large red rose in his buttonhole.
Wondering where the party might be
going, we forgot our hunger, and, slowly
following, were greatly surprised to see
them enter tho village cemetery-a love.
ly little garden, where the white marble
cleaned amid wilderness of evergreens
and vines. Proceeding to remote cor.
ner, they circled around a grave, upon
which the young bride, kneeiing, laid
her bridal wreath and bouquet. Was il
strange that our eyes filled with tears
when we saw hers fall, and that we step.
ped back into the shadow of other tonbs,
ashamed of the curiosity that led us there!
We subsequently learned that the
mother of the bride lay in tho grave SC
touchingly visited. Throughout France
this beautiful custom prevails; reverence
for tho departed being, without question
redeeming feature among all classes.

LETTER FROM THE WEST.
YANKroN, Dakota Ter,
July 1881,

YANKroN, Dakota Ter,
July IL, 1881.
Ed. NoRTHwEsT:-Dear Sir, l left Sioux
City on the sth inst. and came back to
Canton and then went west to Marion
Junction, thence to Scotland and by
Stage to Yankton; the country west OF
Canton do not like at all, it Is known
as the Alkah Region of Dakota and it is
almost impossible to get good drinking
water along the Vermillion River, the
ground presents the appearance of having
been strewn with lime and after taking a
drink of the water (which | seldom do,
preferring beer) you realize a burning
sensation in your throat which is any
thing but pleasant, but around Scotland
the crops look far better than east of here
and between there and Yankton we pass
through the James River, or as the set
tiers here call it the big Jim River coun-
try; this is called fine country here but
l miss my guess if they get above a half
crop of wheat, corn, potatoes and flax.
The hay crop along the bottoms of all
rivers out here will be a total loss; many
farmers still hope to save half their crop
but with the water six inches deep over
the land now and rain every day they
are hoping against hope for if the weather
would clear up now and the water recede
the snow would wilt the stem and the
hay would die before the ground would
become solid enough to run a machine
over. Yankton is more of a town than
expected to see; it is built on ground
elevated above the Missouri river and is
the Capitol of Dakota Territory and fol
many years was the military headquar-
ters of the U. S. troops out here, but the
floods last winter cut Yankton off from
all communication with the outer world
for three months and caused the remova
of the troops to Fort Randall. The flood
carried away that portion of Yanktor
that stood along the river between it and
the bluff, and large steam boats were car
ried up on land nearly q of mile ant
left there and now they are moving the
boats over the bottoms toward the river
From Yankton we came down the Dakota
Southern R. r. and passed through Yer
million, or what was left of it, the whole
town was swept away with the flood ant
the railroad for 20 miles was swept away
and the Missouri bottom lands devastated
think the time is coming and that no
far distant when the lands along thi
river will be abandoned, for farmers be
gin to realize the fact that the river hold
first mortgage from bluff to bluff.

How Men SWEAR.

A bar tender always takes an op-
posite view Of everything. The 9th
er day Mr. Gallagher was in a Court
street saloon and tipped his chair too
far back and went over and jsmmed
his head INTO q cuspador and was con-
sidera d, hurt The incident annoyed
him, Al. when he got up he swore
libeaily. and the bar tender told him
he haunt ought TO. Gallagher said
that under the influence Of sudden
pain FIVE men out of six would swear.
The bar tender didn't believe 1t, and
the result was bet. Gallagher got a
brick and heated it fearfully hot aud
placed it on the marble bar. Now a
brick doesn't show heat, and, there
fore, it was not surprising that when
Mr.. Cuff came in and saw the brick
on the bar he soulG pick it up. He,
however, showed no disposition to put
it in his pocket or do anything else
with it. He Immediately laid it down
and made frantic gestures and said a
number of wicked things. Then in
came a butcher, who also picked it up
and put it down. He looked around
savagely, and after freeing his mind
of some unholy sentiments, said he
hoped he shouldn't see anybody laugh,
ss he preferred not to be under the
necessity of doing murder. The next
victim was Chinaman, and he spoke
every word of english he knew, and
two.thirds of what he remarked would
have been improper in aSunday school.
He Joined Mr.. Cuff and the butcher
in sucking mis- fingers and watching
for the next chap. He came in the
form of prominent politician, and as
he placed the brick upon the bar his
language sounded like after election
talk. The bar tender began to be
nervous, but the next man merely
pranced about and wildly waved his
hands without saying word. 1t ap-
peared that he was a dumb man. So
the next man would decide the bet.
He came. He was young man from
the lumber districts of Maine, and
didn't look like talkative chap. But
when he got hold of the brick his jaw
seemed to become loose, and the way
he blasphemed even shocked a parrot
and the butcher said he'd give seventy
FIVE dollars if he could talk like that
Gallagher had won. He rose up and
explained the affair. The six, headed
by the young man from Maine started
for him as one man. They pulled hin
over the place, brushed the ceiling
with him, used him for q football
throwed him down the cellar, brough
him up again, tore his clothes off ant
made him drink water They salt
they wanted to see if it would max
him swear-andit did.-B0Stoa Post.

A Hawk and a Rattlesnakc.

Says the Arizona Globe Democrat: My
musing on the age change that it must
have taken to mold the scene to its
present aspect was broken in upon by a
large rattlesnake gliding out on bare
rock within fifty feet of the point where
I was sitting. He seemed to search
around like dog for place to suit his
snakeship, and then stretched himself out
to enjoy the warmth. was thinking if
it was worth while to heave stone at the
monster, when big shadow swept down,
and hawk nearly caught him mapping,
but not quit for tho snake sprang his rat
tie and coiled himself ready for attack
while the hawk lowering round, making
dash now on the right, now on the left.
1t was quite an interesting skirmish, but
at last the snake made spring, and ap-
parently failed to strike, and before he
could recoil himself the hawk seized him
with both talons close behind the head.
In fact, he had him on the neck, and
swept into the air, while the snake strug-
gled and twisted, away up, into the blue,
in wide circling sweeps until the strug-
Cling reptile hung limp and lifeless,
when the hawk came down to earth,
again, and, alighting on a neighboring
tree, made his meal on the snake.

People Begin to Ask Themselves,
d. HARTNETT.


People begin to ask themselves every
where, 'What has this great Republican
party done, and what is it doing for the
country" They see it just now engaged
in desperate fight over the public plum
der and neElecting every public duty in
this disgraceful scramble. As they look
on with contempt at this exhibition,
which has about as much dignity as u
Iirstclass dog fight, they recall the fact
that under Hayes it did little else than
carefully conceal the stealing which it
lostered, and that with loud and inter-
minable professions of virtue in the last
dozen years it has only produced scandal
after scandal, until the whole history Of
the party IS in This period made up Of
BeIlnap, Robeson, Pacific Mail, Star
Route. Whisky Fraud, Carpet-hag, Salary
grab and a multitude of other jobberies
of the basest and the most vulgar kind,
mixed in with the most abject subjection
to railroad and other corporation influ-
enCes. And in all that time no one can
recall, without an effort a solitary pub
lie service the party has rendered. 1t
might a3 well inscribe on its banners,
''millions for plunder, not one cent for
the public interests,
1t has resisted every reform; it has pre-
vented the repeal of every bit of the OBJ
solete and obstructive war legislation; it
has maintained every bad law on the
statute book; it has shown in every i'm
aginable way its total incapacity to deal
with public questions, and whenever
public opinionhas oppressed it to do at
least some triAing good it has adroitly
got up some new excitement about the
South, or some new, petty quarrel with
the Democrats with the sole view to en-
gage the attention Of some people and
draw their attention away from public
interests and real questions.
The Republican party has in the gener-
al public opinion fulfilled its mission
Why should it not go to pieces? Why
should any OF its honest voters morn over
its disappearance? 1T may not be dead
ut this moment, but it is rotten. 1t is
Ghe creature Of railroad and other corpor-
alton and monopoly influences. Its most
intimate relations are no longer with the
people, but with railroad and telegraph
kings, the Jay Goulds, Sanfords, Hunt
ingtons, and others of the kind, who own
and control its managers and chiefs. To
chat such party, which deliberately
chooses Dorsey as one Of its manipulators
and unblushingly gives him public din.
aers; which has protected Robson; which
openly courts the friendship of public
plunderers; Brady and his Star Route
iobbers, and took part Of his gains for its
campaign fund after the exposure of him
made il Congress; to say that such 9
party, which scarcely conceals its rcla
dions witha dozen lobbies, and many Of
whose public men lives by jobs--to say
chat this party, quarrcling now over the
gpoils, ought to live, is absurd. 1t ha'
lost even the respect for public opinion
which leads jobbers usually to divide th'
apoils in private.
