A Plucky Girl.

During the last trip of the Golden Crown
from New Orleans, while lying at Gretna, a
few miles above the latter city, loading a large
lot of marble, the passengers, learning from
the Captain that they would have several
hours in port started out to SEE the town.
Among those who wandered around the town
was Master Willie Baird, the hftaen-year-old
son of Dr. Baird, of Wheeling, and in a spirit
of adventure he walked out on a long piece of
timber that was lying in the water As he ap-
preached the end he lost his balance and fen
into the turbulent water. The accident
was witnessed by several on the shore.
who all seemed paralyzed with fear. with
the exception of Miss Ella Bailey, resident Of
Newport, KY, niece of Mr.. Bailey, who is
the book-keeper of Robert Clarke & Co., a lass
OF about the same age as young Baird. The
courageous girl ran to the spot, jumped TO the
log, and got hold Of the hair of the lad as he
was sinking for the last time and she held on
bravely until assistance came to the rescue.
If matters In real life take the same course as
they do in fiction, our next notice OF this
young couple will be the ringing Of the mar
risge bells for Willie and the brave lassie who
saved his life.-CiEetnnIti EnIsifrer.

December, 1881, he was enticed from his

after long search he was found at YER
sailles, KY, and restored to his friends, only
to meet horrible death. .fr as

the latter with Ratchet. The officer, to

the boats, racing shell and small row boat,
were compelled to return on account of the
heavy sea, and another saiboat started,
manned by Charles Bronson and Frank
Brayman. When they approached within
fifteen feet of the wrecked boat they saw six
men clinging to it and were welcomed with
glad cheers. The relief boat found it i'm
possible to get nearer the wreck and Bray

SHELTERS.

Charley Wilde's wagon train left here
yesterday for Copperopolis to bring
down another instalIment of Green
Mountain Boy ore. The train consists
of nine 9-mule teams, with a combined
capacity of 100000 pounds. 1t is I'M
derstood that Messrs. Dickson & Co.
have contracted with Mr.. Wilde to
transport 100000 pounds per month
from the mine to Cheyenne, when it is
shipped by rail to Chicago, where it is
reduced at a big profit.
This is one of the most forcible ar
guments that can be made in favor of
erecting a smelter in Cheyenne. There
is enough ore in the Green Mountain
Boy alone to u a smelter right along,
and there are other mines in Hartville
and Copperopolis that contain just as
much ore. If Wyoming ore can be
smelted in Chicago at a profit, how
much greater profit awaits the men Of
grit and enterprise who will erect a
smelter in Cheyenne.
AAuOCN, IhOlC 10 LII IcdoOu why IH6l0
should not be many large smelters
erected here. Cheyenne is centrally
located between the copper mines on
the north, the silver and copper mines
on the west-both at Silver Crown and
Cummins City and Tie Siding, and also
North Park. There are no smelters in
the Park yet, but there is plenty of
good are that could be shipped to Chey-
enne and reduced at a good big profit.
Cheyenne is well located on the U. P.
road, where coke for smelling purposes
can be obtained at low rates compared
with the smelters in southern Colorado,
Utah, Idaho, Montana or Nevada. The
shelters at the places we have men
toned procure Pittsburg coke, which
seems to answer the purpose better than
that Of any other coal coke. Besides,
Cheyenne is within econom ical distances
OF extensive pineries, where untold mil
lions of bushels of charcoal can be
made.
While On the subject we may as well
say that men of enterprise and capital
are Figuring" on smelters, and we
doubt not that before the grass turns
brown there will be at least one smelt-
er erected in Cheyenne.

San Francisco, June 21.-A Port
Townsend dispatch says the steam
er Idaho arrived at Sitka with the fell
lowing full report of the burning of'the
United States exploring steamer Rod
gers in st. Lawrence bay and the rescue
of her crew:
The revenue steamer Thomas Corwin
arrived at Sitka on June Sd with the
officers and crew of the Rodgers. The
officers landed at Sitka are Master D.
S. Warning, executive officer; Ensign
G. M. Storey; Passed Assistant Sur
geon NJ. D. Jones, Passed Assistant
Engineer A. V. Zane and Assistant
Surgeon j. D. CASTILLO, and twenty-six
men all in good health, the latter COM
prising the same crew that sailed from
San Francisco, all told. Lucelo R. NJ.
Berry, commander Of the Rogers, &C
companied by Ensign H. j. Hunt, left
st. Lawrence bay on the ODD of Decem-
Der to sledge the Siberian coast in
search of the Jeanette. May 10, 1882,
the master having received a letter
through the natives from Berry, dated
at Keoyma river April 4, stating that
he had heard of the loss of the Jean
nette and the landing of her boat, and
on his search for the survivors that he
would not return by way of the east
ward, and directing Mr.. Warning to
take his party and make the best Of his
way to San Francisco and communi-
cate with the navy department. The
point where the letter was dated was
about half way between st. Lawrence
and the Lena river. At the time the
Rogers was burned she was lying off
shore about a mile and a half. The
fire was reported about S:45 a. m.
Everything was done to a v the ship.
The fire was in the lower hold forward,
and its probable cause was sp~ontan-
ecu combustion, and the place where
it originated was so situated that it was
next to an impossibility to get II stream
of water on it. The officers and crew
fought the flames to no purpose. The
fire gained so rapidly hat it became
evident to her commander that all at
tempts to save the ship would prove
fruitless, so about 4 p. m. the ship head
ed for the beach in hopes that by scut-
Ting her sufficient provisions might be
saved to subsist the party until rescued.
Although from six to eight feet of wa.
ter rushed into her fire room, yet owing
to the coal and timbers being choked
the water did not flow forward to the
seat of the fire. The ship at this time
lay about $50 yards from the shore sur.
rounded by soft slush twenty inches
thick, too soft to land upon it and yet
too thick to force boats through. For
tunately the ship was provided with a
didarki by mean of which the men
were enabled to carry a line ash ore.

Boston, June 21.-Between seven and
eight thousand people gave Michael
Davitt a loud and prolonged greeting
AS he appeared tonight on the plat
form of the Mechanics hall building,
accompanied by John Boyle O'Reilly.
Mayor Prince presided. When the APP
plause subsidized Davitt read carefully
the prepared address in calm dispas-
sionate language a presentation Of
the wrongs and grievances of Irish
people and the remedy which in his
judgment should be applied. He ex-
planned that his address was intended
for the American rather than the Irish
audience and it was an appeal to the
understanding of the American people
through their press. The position of
the American people in the contest is
purely a judicial one, and the public
opinion in this country will only con-
slider facts and statistics as presented
by The Irish land league.
The speaker then presented the stat
istics and argued that landlordism as it
stands to-day is a w%retched, complete
and unmitigated failure, and it has re-
suited in the ~peasantry being compelled
to live in one-roomed huts on inferior
diet ssamid aggarian crimes, murder
and dissatisfaction. He then pro-
ceeded to show that for the last seventy
years millions of dollars have been ex-
tracted yearly from labors and the soil
in Ireland by some ten thousand indi-
viduals who contributed scarcely any
thing to the country themselves, Side
by side with this vast decline of Irish
wealth during the last century there
were no less than five famines. Up
wards of two million of our people
starved during the period of these
famines, and millions of pounds had
been distracted by a few thousand
landlords, and yet E%nglishmen cannot
understand why we want this state of
things abolished. The speaker showed
that but one-fourth of the land of Ire
land is under cultivation and explained
various plans suggested for remedying
these evils, all of which he thought
were too much in interest with the
landlords themselves.

the Chinese remain in the country; it
declares the enmity of the party to all

ious opinion, and demands the repeal of
those now existing; demands a material
