AEerr Smart Girl.

Letter from Che Chicago -IbCne.I
 The smartest girl I've met in Iowa I met yesterday at Nevada, Story county, Northwestern IOwa-lIIss Belle Clinton. Miss Clinton isa hriEht-eyed, rOsy-cheek- cd girl Of about 2O, as full Of fun and health and vigur as a good girl can be. Two years ago Miss Clinton was a school teacher. Saving up her teachings about SlOO, she last year borrowed a span of horses from her father rigged Ep "praIre shOoner,' and, taking her little brother, started for Dakota. Miss Clin- ton says lauEhingly to-day, speaking of her trip: "Nhy, l never lived SO nicely m my life and l never had such an ap- petite, and such courtesy I received everywherel Rough, rude men would come tO our camp, and, after | had talk el tO them awhile, offer to build my fire and actually bring water to me. We went up through the wheat country which they call the Jim river country lts about loo miles east from the Mis- -OUri at Fort Sully. | hOmesteaded 100 acres of land. Then l took up timber 'laim of l2O acres more
 "What IS a timber rlaim?'
 "Why, I hired a man and we set ont ten acres Of trees. This gave me leo acres more. So I have 32O acres now. But I must tell you about those trees They were yOUDg locust, apple and black walnut sprouts. 1 sOwed a peck of lO- cust beans, pint or apple seed and two bushels of black Walnuts in our garden in Iowa a year ago. These sprouts were little fellows, and We cOuld set them out iast-iust go along and stick them in the ground. But they are just as good l believe my three thousand little wal nut sprouts will be worth Slj apiece in ten years and S2O apiece in fifteen. My locust trees will sometime fence the whole country

 "We built shanty and broke mp five acres of land; and tbis fall We came back to Iowa to spend the winter. and here We are.

 "Old Probabilities" is at all times and seasons, a Man of the Hour" The mild ness of Spring, the heat of Summer, the changing temperature of Autumn. and the uippiug and eager ar of Winter, particularly. reminds us of this inter preter of the Clerk of the Weather.
 Upon the death of General Myer, last year, the first chief of the Signal Service Department, General William E. Hagen was appointed to the vacant office. He k a native of Vermont. In 1851, he en- tered the Military Academy at West Point. Four years afterwards, he was made Brevet Second Lieutenant of the Fourth Infantry. Engaged during the next few years iu fighting the Indians Of Texas, in 1859, he was made First Lieutenant by brevet. At the outbreak Of the civil war, he acted as Colonel of the Forty-frst Ohio Volunteers. In 1862, he was made Brigadier-General of Vol uuteers, and Major by brevet in the regular army in 1853, a reward for his courage in the battle of Chickamauga. Successive promotions for distinguished services in several great battles led up to his being made. in March, 1865, a Ma jOr-General; and one month later he was commissioned MaIOr- General OI NOlun- teers, to rank from December 13, 1864 He was mustered out of the Volunteer Service in lS6f, and subsequently, served as Colorel fine Thirty-eigbth regular Infantry, and of the Sixth Infantry since 1869.
 h his present position, General Hagen is giving great satisfaction. There Is no more conspicuous and perhaps no more valuable use of scientific observation and judgment than that of fOrecasting the weather. Not to speak of it's couven- fence to the general public, the farmer and the mariner are incidentally indebt- cd to it. The service. of which General Hazeu is the head, consists of 0bServa- tions made from points in every direc- ton and distance. and telegraphed t., headquarters, from whence "prObabili- tias' are made out and published for eyerybody's use.

The 0.tinndGi

The Chicago telegrams of yesterday
 came freightel witd the piteous tale O
 gn Oakland girl who, with the confd
 ing simplicity Of innocence, intrasted
 her money ana diamonds to a handsom,
 but perfdious young man. But the sym
 pathetic tear has oft been dried wit!
 he handkerchief of truth, as in this
 ease the little story Is spoiled by unre- lenting facts. The Miss Belle Metzger. ! whose piteouS story is now known tn, country over, Is none other than Mrs.-
 the wife of one thc best known mining men in Arizona, and the lady herself is
 almost equally well known on account
 cf her long residence m this place, but
 for the past few years has been living in
 Oakland, and at the beginning of the
 Ettle episode in nquestion, was on her way
 Co reioin her husband here; but failing
 li with neF present banker, sine made
 but short soiourn in town. At one of
 the promineu; hotels iu this city she
 registered under her proper name, her
 banker giving tae name of Wm. 5 Hunt.
 Each were assigned to separate depart
 ments, but bcmE detected in the act oi
 making one room serve both, the land
 lord attempted to make trio, but in addition 10 lock and key, Mir. Hunt ap- piled hIs bodily pressure to keep the door in place until assuf4d that 1t WAS not the husband of the lady who was seeking admission. He then opened the door and the Oakland girl skipped ont, le; wing the handsome young man to face the wrath or the indignant proprie- tor, which he did with becoming grace. stating that he had met the woman on the train, and that in addition to her cuarms she had m her DO session some money and S409O worth Of diamonds and as she iid not know how to care for 5hem, he would do SO iu her stead In the mean time self-possession sat supreme Tn the mind of the ~Oakland gir.,' and she returned to reinforce the handsome young man, who at once changed bis tune of boastful intentions, and echoed the sentiments of the wrath tul lady, who loudly denounced the in- reference of the landlord. threatened the direful vengeance of an offended | husband. The handsome young man she had met on the train, and for the sake of economy, a laudable desire in- deed. had travelled together on the same 1 ticket but they meant no wrong, had been guilty of none, Oh! no. In tine morning they would leave the 1 hotel and true to their word they shook | our m q and hied towards the city on l the lakes. The money was good, the | diamonds glistened and loves sweet | dream was young. At the Fremont | House in Chicago, they registered as man and wife he depositing her satchel | eontining Sl43 and SlfOJ worth of dia- mands and on the morning following, | while she was sleeping the sleep of in- uo-ence,J he arose and departed, her money and jewels departing with him. Tears and time for repentance nov rules the hour, but the handsome young man with her jewels has flown. Hunts boastngs here were regarded as mere bomblst to bridge over the then impen- ding trouble, but later events prove him to have made the threat good.
