An Old NevRdlau Looking Over the
Country Of the n. r. y. b.

nm Ohsl N0vWSa0U 1fOOAhm ~
Country Of the n. r. y. =.
MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Sept. 8, 1888.
EDITOR SENTINEL: I send You to-day
papers from this city, the great center Of
the Northwest. giving . full account Of
the opening Of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. The opening was . grand success,
and the entire country aroun and
along the line Of the road are tubilating
and making merry over the event. 1t is
estimated that about SOC, 900 visitors are
here, and among them are Willard, Presi-
dent of the N. P. r. R., President Arthur,
Gen. Grant and other distinguished men
Of the nation. This was my stamping
ground IA years ago, and 1 picture to my
self the fortune l with others lost to seek .
living and 9 chance to make money else
where. But l never grieye for split milk.
Yet when n looks ct the busy hum Of
industry all around in this part Of the
country, the towns and cities %springing up
as If by magic, the vast fields Of waving
grain. and the happy and stesdily-increas-
ing populations, . sage-brusher cannot
help but be slightly overcome with sad
ness in contrasting these evidences Of pros
perity with the stsndstill in his own State.
Still Nevada will ultimately be swept BY .
similar wave. 1t may take . longer time
han we would like to wait for, but as the
march of progress is westward it cannot
pass us by. Those who hold on will
realize it IS sure a. those have been en-
riched who have stuck to it in this region.
Minnesota has a population of about one
million, with some natural advantages :
climate, water, soil and timber-for Z
much larger growth. The acreage is said
to average IA bushels, which can be sur
passed anywhere in the Silver State where
water can be had. Minneapolis is regarded
as the depot for supplies Of the great Red
River region Of the north, and much of
the trade Of Dakota is coming in, as well
- that Of Montana. Idaho, Oregon and
Washington. The city will be . strong
rival Of Chicago, as her merchants are full
OF enterprise and pluck. This is apparent
on all sides by the massive and magnificent
blocks Of buildings going up, and the i'm
mense stocks Of goods carried by the mer-
chants. l will return to Nevada, low
ever, and wait for the tide. The bleak
bills aud swest-smelling sagebrush nave
not yet lost all their charms for me. /
will sit me down there and hug the bril-
liam a~nticipations of the future, until the
cry shall be
Bring the Nations wealth to the Nations
need
Let the golden vein of the mountains bleed
Bid the pallid pulses Of silver start
From the sordid depths Of the earth's black
heart"

Sketching John Brown,

Said /: 'tMr. Boteler, you lived close
to the John Brown said; did you see
Brown"
'Yes, sir. Inot only saw him haul
ed out of the engine house, but while
he was yet freshly wounded Colonel
Robert Lee allowed me to pass in and
talk to him as he lay on the bare floor
in one of the armory buildings. There
is singular circumstance about that.
Some time before Browns descent on
Harper's Ferry took to my wife one
day sketch that l made with pencil
in the cars coming from Point of Rocks
to Harper's Ferry. Said L: My dear,
here is genuine picture of the Wan
dering jew who is it?' she asked. I
don't know. 1t was strange old man
with fingers like the talons of bird that
l saw talking to two young men. He
had the most remarkable head 1 have
looked at for years. His hair went up
like spikes, his jaw and mouth were very
strong, and he had an eye that would
look you through and through. His
nose was like an eagles, and there was
something very fascinating about him,
yet superstitious; and | made that sketch
of him and called him the Wandering
jew. He was talking about sheep-raiS-
ing. and talked very intelligently, too,
and 1 was interested in what he said,
because l thought he might be going to
buy land in our parts. Well, my wife
put that picture away and forgot about
it. Suddenly the descent on Harper's
Ferry was made. 1t did not then occur
to me that Brown was the same man
had seen. But when he was tried at
Charlestown and stood up to make the
speech before sentence was passed upon
him, took the opportunity to draw an
other sketch of him. By that time he
had somewhat recovered from his
wounds / took the sketch home, and
said: There, Mrs. Boteler, you see old
John Brown why, said she, 4 have
seen this man before oh, guess not,
said /. Yes, / have She thought
about it awhile. and then turned to the
drawer where she had put my sketch Of
the Wandering Jew, and drew it out
Yes said she, here is the very man.
l had made the sketch of John Brown
unwittingly. "-"Gath.

Why They Were Not Hungry,

About two days ago one of the funni-
est things that ever was, happened at a
prominent railway eating house in this
city. A newly married couple came to
the table and were seated, and while
they were eating two very cute looking
fellows took seats directly opposite
them at the same spread. They were
telegraph operators. By posing their
knife across the back of their fork and
gently holding one end they were ena-
bled to make click, click, click, in
close imitation of the telegraphic key.
In the mystic language of Prof. Morse
one Alec said unto the other:
t'Just married."

The yokel, as they termed him, now
took it to be his turn and click, click
went his knife in such rapid succession
that it knocked the rude Alexanders
silly. 1t was clear to them. 1t said:

you will please report to head quarters
and get your time. / am the superin-
tendent of the line upon which you

They could not catch the last words
for just then the window fell down and
shut off the interview Cheek.
