Ny Dear Miss:
My love for you is as strong IA the smell
Of old utter, Swcitzer cheese or the kick
Of a Jerusalem pony, (or mule as you
wish.) You are as sweet as Mr.. Heath's
best candy, or Cheap Johns Boston Bis
cult, or Joe Shelton's double aud treble ex-
tract Of tube rose, or n Yankee dougLnut
fried in sorghum molasses; aud in fact you
are the sweet Of all sweets, land don't you
forget it.) IL 1 could only make you see
the inside Of my soul and cause me to win
your affections would be az happy M a
wood-chuck in cherry tree or stage
horse in green pasture, and would cry
aloud, "happy art thou, oh Israel" "and
don't you forget it," but if you do not re-
ciprocate my thrilling passion | will pine
away and die like poisoned bed bug, and
in the coming years. when the philosophic
frog sings his evening hymn, and theinvin-
clble mosquito begins to prepare for
business, and the whippoorwill bids de
iiance to the sinking sun, look ont for
squalls. As the song bird longs for the
I light of day, the cautions mouse for the
first bacon in the tray, rs the hound pup
/ bankers after new milk, 81 | long for thee.
Farewell Dixie. Mon Dieu, the parting
| gives me palpitation Of the cookiug-stove
When the majestic orb Of day, /. e. the sun
is sinking in the western horizon, you, in
auothcr's love, will come and drop teal
and cast clod on the last resting place Of
your once true lover.

a NEW FUEL.

Frank Alexander, one of the pro-
prietors of the inAammable shals
mine. lately discovered in Charles
Mix county. was in the city yer. srday
on his way home from the Sioux Falls
convention. In answer to question
about the mine he told, what has
been already published, about the
burning qualities of the rock having
been discovered by a piece thrown
out by blast falling into q FIRE which
the worimsn had near the mouth Ct
the shaft. The shaft was sunk ir
search of coal. This was about three
weeks ago. Some of the shale had
been tried in coal stoves at Bon
Homme, and burned we'll. A pile
of some three bushels of the stuff
was set on FIRE out of doors and
burned freely. There were live en-
bsrs left twenty-four hours after the
fire was kindled. Mr.. Alexander
said that on his return wagon load
Of this now fuel would be hauled to
Plankington on the Milwaukee road,
where it will be tested as fuel for
engihes. The shaft where the shale
is found is in . ravine within few
yards Of the river. The shale lie
found thirty-six feet from the surface.
Over it is roof If slate, and undor
a block of earth that is Eelther clsy
nor loan. The bed of scale could be
traced along the river bluff for sever
al miles. but in excepting one place,
was not as thick ss where found in
the shaft. A piece of the shals
about as big rs hickory nut bad
boen tried in a retort by Yank;on
acientist, aud found TO contain three
drops os petroleum. The imfamma
BILE property Of the shale came from
this oil. 1t will be ramem bered that
a iittle oil was found in the artssian
we'll at this city when the shals was
being penetrated, and the same wss
noticed al YsnktoA and Ponca. A
smell piece Of the shals, which Mr..
Alexander had in his pocket, was
shown to the reporter. 1t looked
gray and gritless like common shale.
only it had greasy look and touch
something like camel coal. TIE
only foreign mineral that showed
were spsoks of iron pyrites. Furth-
er tests Of this interesting fuel will
be awaited with interest.
