railway mail route has now been ex-

Messrs. Roberts 4 Co., Of this city,
transporting the mails from the Butte
depot to the pnstofIice for the ruil.oad
company.
In this connection the necessity Of .

better made in our local service.
On this subject the Ogden Pilot Of the
18th inst. says: The mail service on the
Ctah& Northern Railway has been only

space Of seventy miles which has been
served by the stage company, they hav-
ing the contract for carrying the mail
over that portion of the route. The
Postot:icc Department has just extended
the route through to Butte, and the train
which left Ogden last evening is the first
to carry agents through the whole length
Of the road. While this is an important
in the service, it adds very
to the labor Of the men on

mandA. 49,
Mr.. 6eybolt, the Special 1nspector
who has been in Butte for several days,
let this nosning for the East. Up to
II O'Clock last::night NO written PROPOSE
lions had been::received by Mr.. Seybolt,
and nothing explicit had been decided
upon. The question Is consequently
still an opsn one. The public may not
know that any. proposals in writing
which may be handed in to Professor
Smith during the next four or i've days,
will 10 forwarded by him to Mr.. Se,-
bolt at Omaha, and will he in time to
receive proper consideration from the
department.
In addition, and a more important
matter yet, MI. Seybolt says that the de-
partment will receive propositions to
put up brick building any time before
the first Of July next, to be ready for &C
cupation by that time. This will be
surprise to many citizens and business
men of Butte who have been under the
impression that whatever change Is to
be made mus: be made Immediately.
The fact that six months time may be
used for the completion Of . suitable
building allows the selection Of the best
site, the purchase Of a lot, and the ercc-
ton of substantial brick structure
which will I've a comfort To the pestofiice
officials and xn ornament to the city.
More than this, the interval allows time
for reflection to the BUSINESS men Of tho
city and the perfection Of plan by
which their interests may be best sub
served in the choice Of a new site.
Various propositions were preached
to Mr.. Seyl'"lt yesterday. One was to
build u two-story brick building on
Main street, just below the present. post
Office building. Another was to build u
structure on East Broadway,
near the defunct Gem restaurant. Pub
lie opinion is already pretty we'll made
up in regard to the possible selec-
ton of any site further north than
the present p.stOfficc. OF course per
sons owning property ut the head Of
Main street desire the pt'stoffice to liz
farther up the hill, and suggest
quarters in the Miners' Union Hall.
The majority Of business men, however,
seem t" oppose such movement, and
hink the change should result in the |
selection Of site further south, near
Main street. and il possible. all ether !
Kings being equal, on the west rather
han the east side Of Main street, since
lac tendency q: business seems to be
westward. Nothing definite will bc de-
'i'led on by Mr.. Seybolt, himself. He
'eturns to Washington, and will take
With him whatever written propositions
hall have l,ecn submitted through, Him,
md through Professor smith, to the
Department. Mr.. Scybolt will also take
plat to Washington, showing the gem
raj location Of the business part Of the
ity, and Of the principal streets.
The subject demands serious and i'm
Mediate consideration. Capitalists will

Knew She Would Come.

One of the most touching stories
Dickens ever wrote was that of poor
Little Emily" 1t is hard for most
of us to keep back the tears when we
read of her wanderings in foreign lands,
and of how Mr.. Pegotty never gave her
up, but sought her everywhere until he
found her and saved her. Just such
things constantly are happening in real
life. Here Is story of young Scotch
girl who was led into sin, perhaps by
the example of some of her companions.
and leaving her home went to London
One day, while proceeding along the
street, she came by church and heard
the congregation singing an old tune
she knew we'll. She paused moment.
and while listening n sudden vision
came to her Of the home she had left,
her father and mother, the quiet village
and the simple and pure life that had
once been hers.
\ longing swept through her heart
Just TO creep over the threshold of home
once more and sit at her mothers feet;
even if it was in sin and shame, and she
brought disgrace home with her
mother was there, and forgiveness and
love were there.
SO she travelled the long distance to
the little village. She felt that she
must not be seen by the neiehbors SO
weary and footsore aud longing though
she was, she hid in the fields till dark.
Then she waited and waited-fearing
that she could not make it right with
feyther till "fey ther should be
gone TO bed, and she could find mother
sitting alone.
When she came to the house her beat
ing heart stopped in fear. for the lights
were gone and she remembered that the
door was shut at night. Yet at any rate
she must see, and her heart leaped again
when she found that the door was open.
Light as was her foot when she stepped
within. one ear heard it, and her moth
er's voice, low and trembling with hope,
spoke from an inner room
Jennie, is it you ?"

the door shut"

Lots OF Fun i'm Him.

The Detroit Free Press tells this
story
One of the me nbers of the Metho-
dist Conference held in Detroit was out
for a walk at an early hour one morn
ing and encountered a strapping big
fellow who was drawing a wagon to n
blacksmith shop.
Catch hold here and help me down
to the shop with this wagon and I'll

the good man.
"Well, you can take cigar"

The man dropped the wagon tongue,

piled the member.
"Well, I'm going to tackle you any
how. Here we CO."
The teamster slid up and endeavored
to get back hold, but he had only Just
commenced his fun when he was lifted
clear off the grass and slammed against
tree box with such force that he
gasped half dozen times before he
could catch his breath.
Nov, you keep away from me-" ex.
claimed the minister, picking up his
cane.
"Bust me if 1 don't" replied the
teamster as he edged off. What's the

A Bandits Wife.

A letter from Independence, Mo-,
says: Mrs. Annie James, formerly Miss
Annie Ralston, of this city, wife of the
notorious train robber Frank James, is
here, visiting her parents, Col. and Mrs.
Ralstop; at the family residence short
distance from town. She arrived in
company with her little boy, four years
old, late last Friday night, but her
presence did not become known outside
Of the family until this morning. Col.
RalstOn, her father, gave the first in
formation, and III few moments the
news spread all over the city, and a
great deal Of excited comment followed.
Col. Ralston talked quite freely upon
the subject Of her visit, but was either
unable or unwilling to give any infor-
nation III regard to the present or pro-
posed future movements of Frank. He
says his daughter has returned home to
stay, and will not again return to hsr
husband. When she first came she was
fearful lest some trouble might be given
her, but she is now confident that she
will not be molested. Col. Ralston
stoutly asserts that none of the letters
purporting TO have been written by
Frank, which have been published since
the Staying of Jesse James, was authen-
tic. He says Frank has no revenge to
wreak upon either Gov. Crittenden or
the Ford boys, and says also that his
daughter will be able to prove that he
had nothing to do with either the Glen.
dale, Blue Cut, or Winston rohberies
that he quit the gang long time ago.
oT4H hoe haa11 trxItln 10 a
living. He says Frank is an entirely
different man from Jesse or from what
the newspapers have painted him, and
has not been guilty of half that has
been charged to his account. Col. Raj
ston's daughter ran away with and mar.
ried Frank in 1875, and has never been
home since until now. When she left
home she was one of the most beautiful
girls in the county, and is even now
strikingly handsome. She is about
twenty-seven years of age, somewhat
tall, with light complexion, light hair,
ana blue eyes. When she left here she
was plump and rosy checked, but now
looks haggard, aud the lines of care and
trouble are beginning to furrow her
features. She was visited by several
newspaper men, and while she treated
all in very lady-like manner, she alb
solutely refused to be interviewed in
regard TO her husband or the object of
her visit. The little boy is remarkably
smart for his age, and while he has her
complexion and form, his eyes are ex-
actly like those of his father. Although
it is not known where Mrs. James came
from, it is generally believed that she
came from either Texas or Tennessee.
1t is also believed that Frank accom-.
panied her to this place.
