SHOSHONE.
The New Town ut the Junction of the
Wood River Branch with the Oregon
Short Line-The Inappropriate Name
Given 1t by the Postal Department.

ELIZABETH p. O., I. T., Sept. 30.
To 1.-THE EDITOR OF THE Tines The
child was born in the midsummer of
this year, and was called sometimes
"Shoshonc,' and sometimes s'Junction
City" but its name is "Naples."
The lava did it. At this latest Ma
pies there is lacking the beautiful BAY
and blooming gardens and the Italian
sky and air which have made the orig
inal city of this name pleasant mem
DRY i'll the minds OF all travellers, and
dear to its own people; but it has lava
and has it in profuse abundance.
Having lava, the =. o. ID. OF the l..
5. of America, il its wisdom and dis
erection, has christencG the Q. l.. L..
Il. junction on Little Wood River,
with its desert Of sagebrush and sand,
''Naples."
If "there is but one step between
the sublime and the ridiculous" there
is often little more space between the
beautiful and the hideous, and doubt
less it was on this principle Of cen
trasts that our great p. O. ID. handi-
capped our rustling railroad camp
with such a name. !.
Great and wise is the government
Of our Uncle Samuel, and wonderful
is the wisdom of the T.. q. ID. of our
great Nation. Yours,
p. 5. Seriously, however, the
name is inappropriate and ridiculous
Shoshone has some merit. 1t is the
name of tribe of Indians living with
in the limits of Idaho. Ii is the name
of the highest waterfall on the con
tinent, and q place which WI be
reached from tie railroad inn, tom

err ar abot', i, etc., but Naples IS oet

An Anectlonate Welcome.

SCEN rs ON THE ARRIVAL OF ENGI-
NEER MELVILLE AT NEW YORK,
When the steamship Parthia, bear
ing Melville and party, was met
down the Bay at New York last
Thursday, as Engineer Melville's
broad and smiling face was discover
ed 10y those on the tug, they set up
q shout of There's Melville God
bless him!p 4 party Of the Parthia's
passengers started the song "Home
Again, Z" and it was taken up all over
the ship. Melville was soon on board
the United States tug and made
haste to the pilot house, where the
ladies Of the party were seated. His
sister and neices were warmly en-
braced by him, and everybody in the
pilot house wept rs Melville sobbed
conVulsively and held his sister to
his breast. He sat for few moments
with his relatives and listened to
their attempts to utter words of
welcome. He patted HE stalwart
brother na +bo hnnlr and affection
ately called him "Sandy." Some
of the more active of the Parthia's
passengers had climbed into the rig
ging, and were shouting "Give us
Melyille.n Several held aloft bot
ties Of champagne.
Engineer Melville stepped out of the
pilot house and encountered Capt.
Wotten, the aged and grief. stricken
father-in-law of the late Lieutenant
De Long. Captain Wotten grasped
the Engineers hands, and after say
ing something in IN undertone, wept
like a child. Melville steadied him
self himself against the pilot house
and, covering his face with his
brawny hands, seemed thoroughly
overcome with emotion. Tears filled
the eyes of all who witnessed this
scene, and among the spectators
were many of the Parthia's passen-
gers. When they had dried their
eyes some one on the steamship pro-
posed three cheers for Melville, and
the response was enthusiastic and
emphatic.
Ninderman and Noros, the sea-
men who were with Melville, seemed
anxious to escape observation.

The Washer Mashed.
Drake s Magazine

There were plenty of seats in the
car, but as he walked down the aisle
he looked sharply to the right and
left until he reached a pretty girl
sitting alone.
"Seat engaged, miss ?n he asked
with a knowing wink.
"No--no, sir" stammered the
girl, looking around in dismay.
Down he pumped and braced
himself for the campaign. He was
a regular passenger, and held his
Communication ticket in his hand.
"Shall / open-lo
"Tickets ~ roared the conductor,
who had watched him from afar.
The regular passen ger smiled
sweetly on the pretty girl and put
up bis pasteboard, out of which two
sides were promptly shipped.
"Hold on 2" protested the regular
passenger "you punched this twice.
This lady isn't with me !"
Sorry" replied the conductor ;
"but you walked in, sat down, and
went to work on the regular married
style Supposed, of course, it was
your wife. Too late now. Take a
vacant seat next time. Tickets !"
And the passengers went to the
conductor and asked him to drink,
and offered him cigars, and bought
out the train boy for him.
II knew they weren't married"
said he, as he squinted at a flask Of
extra prime. "I'v seen him before,
but this is the first time it cost him
a couple of dollars to play it,"
do you know who the lady is ~
asked an inquisitive man.
"My wife, gentlemen, replied the
conductor, and even the flask
chuckled merry "glug-glug" as he
spoke.

ing, No. ! his yawning watch, the
gray owl his heart-rending dirge.
At last daylight-oh blessed day
light-eame, Natures long sleep
ended The days bird LETT their
perches. A gang Of jaybirds drove
the owl clear down the lake, prick
ing the very tail.feathers out of him.
Ever since that day Ackworth al
ways kills an owl whenever he can.
Alligator No. /, wearied of fruitless
watching, disappeared. The sun
arose gloriously, and warmed and
dried him, and cheered his very
heart. The snakes troubled him no
more. The mother duck came back
with her little fleet, pluming her
feathers leisurely, never suspecting
that he saw how playfully the duck
let's peeked at every feather she
threw off. The long-legged heron
ventured to his days fishing A
troop of deer watered within twenty
steps of the gentleman who was
perched in the top Of beach tree,
guarded by an alligator.
1t was long after noon, however,
the reptile, to his great joy, with
drew sullenly and sunk to the bot
tom. No time was lost by Ackworth
in releasing himself from the bonds
and resuming his Journey TO the
shore. but his limbs were so cramped
that he could scarcely move, and be-
fore he had got half way down the
log a loud splashing behind showed
that the alligator had seen the move
ment and was on his way to thwart
it, Ackworth plunged. He slipped,
he fell, he spattered the water with
his hands, al the time hearing the
paddles of his pursuer drawing near'
err. 1t was drawn race, the parties
reached the bank neckand-neek.
Mr.. Ackworth fell at the root of the
tree just as the alligator struck him
with his caudaf appendage across the
back.
Had the blow fallen a few inches
higher this story had never been
published. A broken back would
have disabled the man, and those
white-rowed teeth would have
crushed him. His body, dragged to
the bottom of the lake, would have
been a bone Of contest for q whole
school of alligators. But it hit a part
of the body Intentionally elastic, and
the blow hoisted the man clear over
the bank into sturdy holly bush,
whose thorns penetrated his flesh
and rent his garments in hundred
places. So he was saved. Sorely
bruised and out of breath, his hip
sprained so that he never bestrode
saddle again without pain, Ackworth
felt that he was saved.
Nor was he entirely unavenged.
For should the reader, seeking the
scene of this terrible adventure, dis
cover an alligator of some fifteen, or
by this time eighteen, feet long,
whose right eye is absent, removed
by rifle ball, he may safely set him
down as the identical sentinel who
made the night hours dreary with
his presence.

Gov. Vance and the Bull
Calf.

When Governor Vance and Judge
Settle were canvassing for the gu
ber-natorial honors of North Caro-
lima, they took lodging one night
with good old farmer IN the west
ern portion Of the State whom they
found to be undecided as to which
of the two he would vote for. After
they had retired for the night, Vance
began to ponder in his mind, the
best plan to win the old fellow, and
after discarding many that arose,
concluded the most effective one
would be to tender the good wife
some little service in her domestic
affairs. So, bright and early in the
morning he arose (supposing that
Settle was sound asleep and went
out and asked her the privilege of
holding the calf while she MIXED /,
which she readily assented TO with
thanks. Vance began to felicitate
himself with the happy thought that
by this means he would capture the
old man. But 10 and behold he
looked afar off and climbing UP q
steep hill was Judge Settle with
three buckets of water; one on his
head and one in each hand, for the
old lady TO get breakfast with. Set
tie got the old mans vote.

DoCToRs DIsAGREE.-A repor-
ter for the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette sat yesterday afternoon) in
a chamber at No. 321 Federal street,
Allegheny. listening to a terrible
tale of suffering as it fell from the
lips Of a gentle little lady, Mrs. Milo
Ingram, the daughter of Capt.
Hugh McKelyey, of this city, it
seemed almost too much to believe
if the evidence had not been close
at hand to substantiate every word.
1t was but another evidence of the
culpable ignorance Of large number
of practitioners Of medicine who
claimed for six years that her terri
BILE disease was cancer. She was
covered with ulcers, given up to die.
Peraao cured her perfectly. Con-
tinued on page "a, in Ellis Of Life, "
by DR.. Hartman. Ask your drug
gist for one.
