good-natured, and touchingly attached to
one another, it did one good to find such
feeling in the midst of such poverty. The
man had no work. The children were still
too young to go to school, and at the birth
of her child she had only four kreutzers in
the house. Imagine this misery and af1lic-

Twenty-four Hour Dials 500 Years Ago.


An iron post on the south side of Murray
street, near Broadway, supports clock with
tour dials. The dial which faces Broadway
has gilded surface with two sets of numer-
ais. Those near the circumference are Ro-
man, and range from to XII. as on ordi-
nary clocks. They are black on gold. The
other set are Arabic numerals, running from
1 to "a, and are gilded on narrow black
circle just inside the other circle, A single
gilded hand points out the time on both sets
of figures. The dial is deliberately orna-
mented, and represents the dial of watch
in Prince Pierre Soltkoffs collection, which
is believed to be fully 300 years old. The
case of this watch is described as of gold and
enamel of the most elaborate workmanship.

age is not absolutely ascertaired, but from

virtually lett the latter no option but
go forward. The dispatch he, of course
showed to his colleagues, but previously

once, and they fell over each other,
and, oh! my, what a frowzy smell
came up to the kitchen from the cell
lar. 1t was enough to kill anybody.
Pa was first at the head Of the stairs,
and he stuck his head in the Kitchen
and took in long breath and said:
Whoosh, Henncry, your pa is a
mighty sick man. The deacon came
up next, and he had run his head into
a hanging-shelf and broke a glass Jar
Of huckleberries, and they were all
over him, and he said: Give me air!
Earth's but a desert drear.' Then ma
and the deaCOn's wife came up on
gallOp, and they looked tired. Pa
began to peel OF his coat and vest,
and said he was going out TO bury
them, and ma said that he could bury
her, too, and asked the deacon ii he
didn't notice Il faint OdOr Of sewer
gas coming up from the cellar, and
my chum said it smelled more to him
as though something had crawled
into the cellar and died. Well, you
never saw a sicker crowd, and felt
sorry for ma and the deacon, cause
their false teeth fell out, and knew
ma couldn't gossip and the deacon
couldn't talk sassy without teeth.
But you'd a dide to see pa. lie was
mad, aud thought the deacon had
put up a job on him, and he was going
to knock out the deacon in two
rounds, when ma said there was no
use in getting mad about dispensa-
tiOn Of Providence, and pa said one
more such dispensatiOn would just
kill him on the spot. They finally got
the house aired, and my Chum and
me slept on the hay in the barn, after
we had opened the outside cellar
door so the animal could get out, and
the next morning had the fever'n
ager, and then pa and ma brought me
home, and Pve been firing quinine
down my neck ever since. Pa says
its malaria, but its getting up before
daylight in the morning, prowling
around farm and doing chores be-
fore IFS time to do chores, and l don't
want any more farm. l thought at
Sunday School last Sunday, when the
Superintendent talkedabout the odor
of sanctity that pervaded the house
on that beautiful morning, and looked
at the deacon, that the deacon thought
the Superintendent was referring to
him and pa, but maybe it was an
accident. Well, l must go home and
shoot another charge of quinine into
me, "and the boy went out as though
he was on his last legs, but he acted
as if he was going to have some fun
while he lasted.

On appeal from the Commissioner
Of the General Land Office, in the
case Of Banker VS.. Sloggy, the Sec
retary Of the Interior has repdered
rather an important ruling under
the timber-culture law. The law
prescribes that in order to be subject
to entry under that act the land must
be prairie land or other land devoid
of timber. The question involved
in the case here referred to was as to
what constitutes prairie land.
In discussing the case the Secretary
said:
"From the prepOndcrance of the
evidence it would appear that there
was on this section about five hun
dred trees of natural growth, varying
in diameter from six inches to two
feet or more, and consisting Of ash,
oak, elm, and some underbrush that
this growth of timber is confined to
tract from five to eight acres in eX-
tent, situated in bend Of South Buff
falo Creek, Minnesota, in the extreme
corner of the southwest quarter, and
partially, if not wholly, subject to
overflow; and that the remainder of
thesection, including the part entered
by Sloggy is prairie. The general
character Of the surrounding country
outside Of this section, should not be
taken into consideration, but it is
eminently proper that the situation
Of this natural growth Of timber, and
its relation to the section should be
considered as well as the amount and
character of the timber itself. 1t was
held by your predecessor, and l think
properly, that when the growth Of
timber is confined to fixed limits and
is inadequate to the demands Of the
people who usually reside upon one
section with no prospect that the
timber will spreat to meet said de-
mands, such a tract is subject to
entry under the timber culture laws;
and this case seems to fall within the
rule rs thus laid down. The question
as to whetherlandi is devoid of timber,
as within the intent and meaning OF
the timber culture laws, should not
be determined by the exact number
of trees growing thereon, but rather
by ascertaining whether nature has
favored what in time will become an
adequate supply for the wants Of the
people likely to reside on that tract,
and the circumstances surrounding
each case of this character should be
carefully scrutinized. l am of the
opinion that such a tract Of land as
this was properly subject to entry
under the timber culture laws, and
your action holding the entry fOT
cancellation is therefore reversed.

Quite an excitement has been pro-
duced in Missoula by the reception
Of the following letter from Pat Nc
Grath, a well known and reliable
miner Of this county. 1t was ad-
dressed to Sam Morris, who is at
present in the Flathcad lake country
somewhere, and was opened by some
of Mr.. Morris friends, who recog-
nized Pats writing. 1t will be news
to some Of the disgusted stampeders
Of last spring, and is as follows:
CAMP CGUR D'ALENE, J
Pritchard Creek, IdahO),
September lG, 1888. }
SAM. MORRIS We got in here in
FIVE days from Missoula, and found
this camp all taken up by a few per-
sons, n great many of them back in
the States, who never were here and
never will be. The Pritchard claim
here belongs to Mrs. Mary Lane, of
Illinois. 1t is a good one. The day
after we got here six or seven men
took out six hundred dollars in one
day, one piece weighing SIS 80. They
are working this claim in the bed OF
the creek. 1t is not over two feet
deep. Pritchard is working it him
self The next best claim belongs to
little Al. Peters, who has four part
ners. 1t is a good one. Theyhave the
next claim little Gillett. Think
Gillett will have as good a claim as
there will be here, but it will take
him the greater part of next summer
to get his drain up. As for ourselves,
five of us jumped the adjoining claim
above Mrs. Lanes the day after we
got in. 1t was a kind Of smuggled
claim belonging to "Pritchard & Co."
Mark Cooney and myself jumped two
claims yesterday adjoining William
Dempsey. Pritchard had staked them
for his two sons, whom he hasn't seen
for seventeen years; but, neverthe-
less he claims to have sold them to a
man from below the Spokane. In
regard to all these claims they would
rather see a thousand men from Spo-
kane or Walla Walla than twenty
five men from Montana. There is
some smuggled ground here yet, but
this next week will let it all out. |
think 1t will make a good camp when
opened out. The creek is on a dead
level, very flat. 1t will take long
drains to open it. Every one takes
twenty acres, that is, eighty rOdslo long
and forty rods wide. Some parts of
the creek is two claims wide. 1t is
about twenty-five miles long, and all
taken up. A good many are coming
in here from Spokane. There are
about one hundred and twenty five
men here now, one hundred and fifty
more are expected in this week.
Supplies now come in from Rath.
drum. can not advise any one to
come down here, as he will have to
fight his way, and a hard one at that.
There is some talk OF cutting down
the claims to five acres; but before
you can receive hislettcr, every foot
of ground will have been taken. -
