that have been organized, and that
have been and are being 80 rapidly
populated, there can be no question
az to the truth Of this remark. Lo-
cations in Dakota have not been
made on the haphazard plan. Col
onies or individuals have first sent
out prospectors, and have gone to
the new country on the reports Of
men interested only in telling the
plain truth. The character of the

Of the entire eastern and southern
section Of the territory watercd by
the James river il ~ well known rs
that Of Kansas. The country is as
full Of lakes and small rivers as is
Minnesota, and is in no sense arid
or sterile. 1t may be said that the
character Of all the country east Of
the Missouri is well understood. for
within the last few months prospec-
tors have penetrated into that solid
block Of unorganized counties, TAX
ing in the southern-central district
(including Campbell, Mcpherson,
Walworth, Edmunds, Potter, Faulk,
Sully and HANDY, and have found

At Last

/. The heather bloomed gayly along the
roadside; the hum of insects and the
voices of birds filed the summer air.
BY the brook that rippled merrily down
the mountain side stood young man,
tapping impatiently with his cane tiny
foot that peeped out from beneath his
checkered pants. Brushed carelessly
away from his white forehead were two
golden locks, and No. 5 hat was perch
ed jauntily on the back of his head.
Twill she never come?n he muttered,
in low, earnest tone; never come to
hear the sweet words of love that are
waiting on my lips for her?''
A fish rose to the surface of the brook,
looked at the young man, and went
away tired. II will seek her, he said;
but as he turned TO goa pair of cleaning
arms were thrown around his neck, and
two rosy lips were puckered up for a
kiss.
$50 you have come at last" he said,
looking at her fondly.
Yes" replied the girl. Birdie Nc
Nulty never breaks a promise. / told
mamma she would have to hang out her
clothes herself to-day, although it near

time

4 Russian Peasants Boots.

.'Shall I speak of the dress of the Rus
sian peasantry?" says a correspondent.
The rags our peasant wears have struck
all travellers who visited Russia. Suf-
ficient to say that boots are considered
rs objects of luxury, and until now, in
Little Russia, the girl buys one pair of
boots, and must wear them throughout
her life. On Sunday, when she goes to
church, she walks barefooted in the cold
mud of the road and only when she has
arrived at the church she washes her
feet in a pond of water, puts ON her
boots, and enters full dressed. The
three roubles (about 81. 50) she has paid
for her boots are considered by the peas
ant as such an immense amount of mon
ey that his wife never must expect TO in
dulge in such an expense for a second
time during her life. This instance to-
gether with what / said in preceding
letter about drtels of masons who travel
on foot along railways, with their boots
on their backs, is sufficient to give an
idea of what the dress of the Russian
peasant really is.

= e Of that d az must have
its storms and connections. and be, like
other human habitations, full of all the
evil that flesh is heir to, though for that
one day of the new year it was at peace
and at rest. There was a calm and quiet
about it that was like the hush of a
shrew's tongue-something TO be Won
dered at as phenomenon. After leaving
Singeta to its sleep in the sun, we enter
ed upon narrow road leading over the
range of high hills, which boldly push
themselves down to the sea in seeming
defiance, for their bases show many
rent and seam that tell of fierce combat
with the waves when they have rushed
against their foundations in the wild
fury of the storm. The hills of Japan
are very unlike any that have seen
elsewhere. They are all narrow spurs,
with rapid ascent, cleaving into and di-
viding the valleys in all directions The
hand and industry of man through the
long centuries have doubtless contracted
the natural slopes, as plateau is terraced
and utilized by the husbandman. As
we wound through the leafy maze of the
way charming vistas were on either
hand. and wherever there was level
spot large enough to swing a hoe on it
was cultivated. There were many patch
es, detached and away from any habita-
ton, that were certainly not of the area
of 100 square feet, under the highest
state of cultivation. Not weed or blade
of grass was to be seen trespassing upon
the spots. Yet we did not see single
man at work in the fields during our en-
tire trip, covering the entire day.

New Years Dav In Japan.

A sleepy village it was as it lay BY the
sea that beautiful sunny day. We saw
some bronzed girls out upon the beach
lazily looking for clans. There were
few men spreading their nets to-day.
A number of children, with smaller
children fastened upon, their backs,
quietly nestled upon the sandy shore.
The dogs lay with their noses between
their paws, looking sleepily out of their
half-opened eyes as we passed by The
fowl. squaddling in the warm hoilows
they had fashioned for themselves, and
there were to be seen women at work
picking cotton from the seed in languld
way that suggested that there was time
enough and to spare. The sea caressed
the sand as gently as the touch OF an IN
FAINT The air was hushed and the foli-
age of the trees rested. No bird gave
forth note, the eats slept in the sun,
and we thought if there was comfort IN
the world it was to be looked for just
here. But appearances are not reality

A Woman's Romance in a Nutshell.

He was introduced to her at a ball;
she danced with him and forgot him.
She met him again at a reception,
was introduced, and she remembered
she had seen him before. WhereP She
knew not. Yet for some moments his
arm had been. around her slender waist.
At the reception she talked with him,
and found him dull. She looked at him.
He might be called handsome, but was
awkward. When he sat down he was
prone to sprawl. He stood with his head
forward, and stumbled ungracefully in
his walk. She flushed with annoyance,
left him, and went into the conservatory
with man more to her taste.
She found him one evening at the
house of q friend. She conversed easily
on topics of general interest. He sat in
a chair too low for him, and his feet
were painfully apparent. She disdain-
fully turned her shoulder toward him.
Presently she rose to go, and dropped
her handkerchief He bent lightly for
ward and caught it up, almost before it
touched the carpet. AS an intimate
friend of the house, ne prepared to see
her home. He arranged her cloak with
eager Difference, and she smiled. He
trampled on her skirts as she passed out
of the door, and she frowned.
They arrived at her gate; he pushed it
open, took off his hat, and almost ran
away.
One day she was coming home from n
shopping expedition with a small parcel
in her hand. He came up with her,
bowed awkwardly, blushed, and asked
if he might take her parcel. He did not
say much, but listened in adoring silence.
When he left her she laughed, and said
he was intolerably stupid, yet not bore.
Pretty soon he began to call often, and
attended her to the opera and theatre
when she would permit him. He was
always near her, and anxious to be of
service. Hew manly, and among men
favorite. He rode well, but danced
indifferently. The other girls laughed
at him, but he did not heed it. She
danced perfectly, was talkative, daring
and impulsive.
She snubbed him, and shook him off
for more accomplished men.
He finally said he loved her. She
laughed, said Impossible" tormented
him, neglected him, refused more eligible
suitors, and finally married him and
adorcd him for all time.
Of such is the nature of woman.

Fourteen dollars, SIR" replied the
smiling shopkeeper as he skipped around
behind the counter and placed in front
of his customer pair of tooth pick-toed
boots, with narrow soles and patent
heels.
Without touching them the customer
looked at the fashionable instruments of

The Latest Garniture on Pet Dogs

NOW one OF the freaks N which ladies
take much delight may be found in the
fashion patronized by many New York
ers, namely, their devotion to all man
ner of dogs There is no end to the de-
vices to which they resort in order to
beautify their pets Sometimes these
animals are attached to chains or col
ored ribbons and are allowed to run af-
ter their mistresses; again, the darlings
are considered too delicate to walk, and
are tenderly carried in state. Some for
tunate pets are adorned with beautiful
blankets to protect them from the colder
winds, while others delight in large bows
of colored ribbon tied at one side of the
neck.

Somewhat unusual was the result of
seven years of litigation over a dead
mans estate in Aurora, Ill. If the
property had been sold when the suits
began there would scarcely have been
enough to pay the debts and the costs,
but now the rise in the value of the
farm properties viii give some $4,000

THE FLOORS HELo w.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The
Secretary of War Instructed Major
Suffer, of So. Louis, to furnish Gov
eminent steamboats, available for
transportation of supplies to the,
sufferers by the overflow. IT is the
intention that not only Government
supplies should be carried on these
boats, but any which may be fur
nlshed from other sources, and that
they shall assist in the distributicn
Of supplies already issued to the
State Commissioners. The present
information indicates that the stores
issued will last as follows: at
Memphis, for Mississippi, until the
10th; at Memphis for Tennessee,
until the 2lst; at Memphis for Ar
kansas, probably the same at
New Madrid, for Missouri, until the
81 at Gayoso, probably the same.
From Charleston, Mo-. the report Is
that there is no Immediate necessity
Tor sending sulplies. No definite
report has been received from
Mound City, except that its dest1-
tute are supposed to number five
thousand. The Secretary of War
has teleghaphed TO Gov. Cullom, at
Springfield, ILL.,, as follows: 'ssTown-
shend, from the ShaWneetoWn dis
trict, has information ofgreat suffer
ing around ShaWneetoWn from the
floods If you desire relief sent
there, please name commissioner
and ascertain and advise me of the
number in distress, and L will rem
der such assistance as is possible"
He also telegraphed to Gov. Black
burn, at Frankfort, Ky.,as follows !:
"Capt. 'Beuham, United States
| Army, telegraphs froTn Columbus,
KY, that about five hundred people
need subsistence to be distributed
from Columbus. If you desire this
to be done, telegraph the name of a
commissioner to make the. distribu-
ton at that point. / Will order 10,
| 600 rations sent.7
The Secretary also sent the follow
ing to commissioners GILES and
Scharck, at New Orleans: "The
present appropriation is nearly eX-
hausted, SO that the Department
cannot place 100000 ratioDs at your
disposal now. An additional APP
preparation is probable"
