YELLOWSTONE PARK,

The country knows very little about
the great reservation Of which Uncle
Sam proposes to make national park.
1t is altogether probable that in the
next few weeks we will be reading very
grsphie descriptions of its wonders and
its beauties. II is only within few
' ears that the surges of migration have
carried the line Of population to that
region before unnoticed and unknown.
But q few years more will doubtless sur
round 1t with hundreds of thousands of
thrifty citizens, and all the world will
be reading Of the great park, with its
spouting geysers, its volcanoes, its cas-
cades, its springs and its valleys which
are destined to attract thousands of WIS.,
itors within its precincts.
1t is said there is nothing like it any
where else on earth. 1t is difficult Of
access at present, but it will be only a
few wears before q railroad will reach
n. and then it will become a famous
summer resort.

Since the Republican State Com
mittee refuse to become responsible for
a gathering of the faithful in the capac-
ity of a lovefeast, and everybody else
seems to be hiding and hedging on any
responsibility for the "call," and as
there seems to be no recognized author
ity upon which the brethren can de-
pend fO- sounding a bugle note which
could be relied upon to bring them to-
gether; and being moved by a strong
desire that 50 interesting an aSsemblage
as this promises to be should not miss
fire, the REGISTER tgratuitouslyl sug-
gests that its advertising columns are

ate behests in which any considerable

CONFEDERATE BONDS.

Governor BEN BUTLER has been In
terviewed on the subject of the Confed-
crate bond speculation, and punctures
that little scheme to the core. He says:
The bonds, being made payable in
the event of the success Of the Confed-
crate States, Were simply q bet on that
success between the Confederate States
and the holder, and on such bet they
were sold at a veIy large discount. The
holder who bet on that success has lost.
The claims of all these bonds were
secured by a pledge of cotton, the prop
erty, not of the individual Statas, but OF
the Confederate States, and that pledge
las been repudiated by the Govern
ment of the United States, which, by
the fortune OF war, succeeded to the
property of the late Confederate States,
although large sums were, before the
war ended, paid from that source to the
holders.
AS to the threat TO boycott the South
ern States ia the money markets of the
world, Gen. BUTLER said:
Nothing could be better for a State
han TO he prevented from borrowing
money. The inhibition placed upon
tie State of Mississippi, because 1t re-
Undated the bonds issued by the Plaut-
ers' Bank many years ago, was the most
fortunate thing that ever happened the
State, because it came out of the var
substantially out of debt. Again, bor-
rowing money is a matter of business,
and if any Southern State could be so
far deluded as to assume these Coined
crate obligations it would be a good rea-
son in the mind of any banker for re-
fusing them credit; so that the very as
SUMPTION of these debts would be the
most effectual boycott against borrow
ing any more money that could be in
vented.
Judge BLACK denied the existence OF
any syndicate TO buy up the bonds, and
said:
The English people, and especially a
syndicate Of English money dealers,
are entitled to some credit for common
sense. They must know that the po'
litical corporation which made those
bonds is extinct. The States which
composed the Confederacy are now
parts of the Federal Government under
a constitution which specially prohibits
the payment by them of those very
debts

OCEAN tricycling is the latest dis
covery of the enterprising wheelman.
One such evolved the idea Of float
lug tricycle. and found that it worked
TO a charm. He crossed the English
channel on such a continuance, and
made the journey from Dover to Calais
i'm eight hours. But he does not state
whether or not he was sea-siCk. If
this enterprisiug wheelman has discov-
cred a means by which the briny deep
can be sailed, or tricycled, without a
complete loss of interest for the time
being, in this world or the next, he de-
serves to have his name which is Mr..

CREOLE CHARACTERISTICS.
The Descendants Of the Original Settlers
of Lower Louisiana.

The Century.
Outwardly the Creoles of the Delta had
become a graceful, well-knit race, in full
keeping with the the freedom of their
surroundings. Their complexion lacked
color, but it was free from the sallcwness
of the Indies. There was much larger
proportion of blondes among them than
is commonly supposed. Generally their
hair was of chestnut, or but little deep
er tint, except that in the city Spanish
tincture now and then asserted itself in
black hair and eyes.
The women were fair, symmetrical,
with pleasing features, lively, expressive
eyes, well-rounded throats and superb
hair; vivacious, decorous, exceedingly
tasteful in dress, adorning themselves
with superior effect in draperies of mus
lin enriched with embroideries and much
garniturc of lace, but with a more mod
crate display of jewels, which indicated
a community of limited wealth. They
were much superior to the men in quick
ness of wit and excelled them in amia-
bility and in many other commendablc
qualities
The more pronounced faults of the men
were generally those moral provincial
isms which travellers recount with unoue
impatience. They are said to have been
coarse, boastful, vain; and they were.
also, deficient in energy and application
without well-directed ambition, unskill-
full in handicraft-doubtles through neg
ligence only--and totally wanting in that
community feeling which begets the
study of reciprocal right and obligations
and reveals the individuals advantage
in the promotion of the common in
terest.
Hence the Creoles were fonder of pleas
ant fictions regarding the salubrity,
beauty, good order and advantages of
their town than of measures to justify
their assumptions. With African slave
ry they were. of course, licentious, and
they were always ready for the dueling
ground; yet 1t need not seem surprising
that people so beset by evil influences
from every direction were generally un-
conscious of reprehensible state of af-
fairs and preserved their self-respect and
a proud belief in their moral excellence
Easily infamed, they were as easily dis.
couraged, thrown into confusion and
overpowered, and they expended the
best of their energies in trivial pleasures
especially the masque and the dance, yet
they were kind parents, afiectionate
wives, tractable children, and enthusias-
tic patriots.

A Half Bushei of Money Paid for n Half
Bushel of Hens.
Army and Navy Journal.

"A Iiaif Bushei oil Money Paid Tor bnif
Bushei of Hens.
Army and Navy Journal.
Governor Eli Murray of Utah, tells this
excellent story:
shall never forget the amount of
money it cost us to keep an old woman
from crying herself to death. OF course
we were obliged TO subsist off the coun-
try as we went along, and we naturally
took about the best iD sight.
One day we took possession of a chick
en- ranch kept by an old lady, who stood
at the gate with a broom and threatened
to lick all of Sherman's force if they did
not move on. Now chickens were con-
sdered officers meat, and as we were in
fernally hungry we went for those hens
pretty lively. When she saw that her
favorite fowls were being caught and
killed she kceled right over and began to
cry. Presently she began to scream, and
finally you could hear that woman's
voice clear to Atlanta.
l sent the surgeons in to quiet her, but
they failed, and then the officers took
turns, but the more attention paid her
the more she howled. then got pretty
nervous over the internal noise, because
the whole army would hear it, and they
might suppose somebody was torturing
the woman.
Finally Sherman rode up and asked
what il was all about. When we told him
he said: Give her a bushel of Confed-
crate bonds for her hens and see if that
won't stop her" Acting on that hint,
proceeded to business. We had captured
a Confederate train the day before with
100000 of Confederate meney and
hunted up the train at once.
The money was worth about two cents
on the dollar. Well, l stuffed about half
a million dollars into an old carpetsack
and marched into the house.
MADAM" said /, opening the sack,
an give you S500,000 to quit that noise"
It was as still as death in minute and
then her face expanded in broad smile.

LOST IN WYOMING SNOW.
Four Passengers by Coaches Frozen tc
Death In the sweetwater Country.
Sal: Lake Tribune.

In all probability no incident in the
history of the Sweetwater country, or,
for all that, in the Territory ofWyoming,
has been of such moment or cast over a
community such gloom as the terrible
suflerjngs of the four unfortunate victims
Of the storm last month, together with
the two fortunate, if fortunate they can
be deemed, survivors. Those who per-
ished on the first coach out from South
Pass were James Scott, driver, and W. V.
Clork, the latter former resident of
Utah, who was on his way TO his home
in Lander Valley. With them was W..
j. Steward, the extent of whose injuries
is the loss of all his fingers, leaving only
one thumb and part of the other, and the
loss of his nose.
On another coach, which left Dry
Sandy, bound for Green River, were Miss
Maggie Sherlock and the driver, William
Ryder, whose real name shortly before
his death he declared to be Alexander
Linney. The third coach, bound to Green
River from Big Sandy, had only the
driver, Al Dougherty, who suffers the loss
of one foot at the ankle and the other at
the insteI and some fingers on each
hand.
The South Pass coach for Green river
was overtaken by night on the 3lst, when
at Fish creek, within four miles of South
Pass, and deeming futile all further at
tempts to save themselves that night the
passengers stayed by the coach until
morning, when they held consultation,
Stuart advising their going up the creek
about mile, where were some cabins,
but was overruled by Scott and Clark,
who advised an attempt, as has been
said, they lost theirlives Scott was found
on the following Friday, February 2, and
Stuart on Saturday, February 3, standing
in snow about three feet in depth, and
blind from frozen face causing his eyes
to swell. Clark was found about two
miles from Pacific Springs and about
three hundred yards from the road on
Wednesday last, February 2S,. and his
body taken to his home for burial. When
found his body was intact, excepting the
eating off of his nose by birds or mice.
Ryder's coach lost the trail near Dry
Sandy and so Ryder left Miss Sherlock
TO go for help. Miss Sherlock saw him
no more that day nor that night, but on
Friday morning about 10 o'clock he
reached Dry Sandy, with both boots of
and only one stocking on. Help imme-
diately started for Miss Sherlock and
when found in the afternoon of Friday
she was frozen to the sleigh, sleeping, al
most the sleep Of death. Both hands
were out from under her wraps, her face
and head bare and the thermometer at
forty degrees below zero. She was taken
to Dry Sandy, revived, and the 9th of the
same month taken home, where she
fingered until the Dist instant, surround
ed by loving friends and relatives and
cared for as only mother can. She was
rational up to within two days of her
death and declared TO her mother that
she was feeling better day by day. Ryder
died on Saturday orsunday following his
arrival at Dry Sandy.
