! CAMP CAMPBELL, at the foot OF
Yellowstone Lake, Wye. Ter, Aug.
29.-The President and party arrived
at this camp about noon to-day hav.
ing marched from the upper end OF
the lake distance of % miles. The
trail we came over and wound aronnd
the borders of the lake almost entire
ly through the timber and the agree
able shade and absence of dust made
our ride one of the most enjoyable
of the whole journey. At the point
where we remain tonight there
is abundant and nutritious
grass. Our camp is in
the fringe of the fine pine tim
ber which covers the mountain sides
and is elevated enough TO overlook
the splendi' meadow upon which
our animals are feeding and to COM
mand a comprehensive view of the
beautiful lake whose waters wash
the preclpitous cliffs of the Shoshone
mountains beyond. Many OF the
peaks are snow capped, which in the
tight of the setting sun are made Wis
IDLE for many miles. The President
accompanied by capt. Clark, went
fishing this afternoon whilst the rest
of the party were content to rest and
enjoy the panorama spread out
before them. The President caught
thirty-tive fish, weighing forty-five
pounds. The head of an extinct spe-
cies of rhinoceros and two vertebr8
OF large fossil saurian in an excel
lent state of preservation were found
on the bank of the lake near our
camp by our surgeon and naturalist,
w. H. Torwood. The specimens are
interesting, and will be sent to Prof.
Cope, of Philadelphia.

The Speakersh1p.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. pa special
to the Courier Journal from Frank
fort says: Hon. [. G. Blackburn was
in the city to-day and made known
his intention concerning the Speak
ership to Col. ]. G.. Stoddard Johu-
son, editor of the Frankfort YeOna01.
He said, certainly L have no reserva-
ton when [ sueak to the people
through the Yeonaan. which am al
ways glad to make my medium of
communication. | can say that
am not q candidate for Speaker. For
some weeks past made my determi-
nation known to my friends, and
you are authorized to make the an
nouncemet public. My feelings for
the success of the Democratic party
in Congress, and for the organization
of that body upon basis which will
insure the best interest of the
country, is far superior to any
mere feeling of personal ambition.
Ardent friends and fellow members
urged me to prosecute a can\ ass for
the position and have assured Inc Of
substantial strength in. the caucus,
but am satisfied that in order to DE-
feat the achiua.ions of the pro-
tectionists and secure the election of
a speaker who will reflect the true
democracy in their cry of tariff for
revenue only, it will be necessary
to concentrate rather than by having
too many candidates prosecuting
similar views to promote the chances
Of the common good by my with
dra wal. kentucky.will he unitedi in the
fight and l shall lend all my ene' gies
to the success of the candidate who
presents the true principles Of tariff
reform and shall show the best pros
pect of defeating Mr.. Randall. There
may be, i.e said, considerations.of
public notice which have led me to
this conclusion. There are, however,
personal reasons which supplement
them and have also controlling in
fuence since the adjournment of con-
gress. have been urged by many
of my friends to permit the use ofmy
name as candidate for the United
States Senate. After mature consid-
Grafton I have determined to become
a candidate and you are authorized
to announce the canvass, but l am
not satisfied to defeat the machina-
tions of the Protectionists aud secure
the election of speaker VINO will re-
fleet the true Democratic theory of
tariff for revenue only.

Gold has been discovered in sand
near Albuquerque. N. NJ.
One third of all the gold and one
half of all the silver annually pro-
duced in the world are supplied by
the mines of the United States.
Crystals of arsenic almost chemi.
cally pure are found in great abund-
ance in the Stag pile at the Richmond
reduction works at Eureka, New.
The mines of San Barnardino
county, Gala, produced in 1882 about
$l5O, 900 in silver and $4,000 in gold,
and will probably reach $3.50, 600 in
1883.
Crowds are returning to Guaymas
from the placers of Santa Gertrudis,
Lower California, on account of the
discouraging scarcity of water rather
than of gold.
The ore production of the Lead
vile mines, during July, was only
trif1e in excess of the previous month,
amounting probably to $4,000 tons,
against 81 800 during June.
Up to June 80, 1888, the aggregate
production of gold in the United
States may be stated at 81 ,632, 1854 ,O7O,
and of silver $59S, ,OS3. .2l7, making a
grand total of s., 2,230, AT 1887.

The Stock Growers Attitude.

CHEYENNE, Aug. 29.-There seems
to be mistaken impression at Wash
ington regarding the attitude taken
by the stock men Of Wyomingtoward
the Government in consequence Of
the decision just rendered by Judge
Sence which will prevent the build
ing of fences on the public lands.
Hon. J. NJ. Carey, who is President
of the Stock Growers Association,
representing 81 900, 600, says he would
like to see not an acre of land fenced
in this Territory unless the man has
a legal right to title to the land. He
himself has some so fenced, but
is ready to pull down the wire and
roll it up if that course is gene e"ally
pursued. Hon. Thomas Sturgis,
Secretary Of the Associatian and
President of two cattle companies
whose stock is valued at four million,
said to-day:"I don't believe that this
method of fencing large tracts of land
Is the wisest system of handling
the cattle business, or is the best
either, or for the immediate benefit
of the cattle enclosed or the future of
the stock-growing interests" The
Wyoming press as far as heard from
is unit in support of Judge Sence's
decision.

The RiVerdale.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Crowds of
curiosity seekers gathered on the
wharf in front of the spot where the
Riverdale sank yesterday to watch
the boats plying around the wreck
picking up whatever fioated. No
bodies have been found since yester-
day, and the belief is strengthened
that there are now in the wreck only
two or three. The list of the miss
ing is being gradually thinned out.
Those supposed to have gone on the
steamer or who were really passen-
gers, have been heard from as safe in
this city Or homes up the river. The
full extent of the cal Amity has been
reported. The wreck will be taken
to the Jersey flats, when searcn can
be made for more bodies if there are
any. Three of the injured are doing
well in the hospital. Rev. Howe |

How to Stop Bleed ding in Case of
Accidents.

The best of remedies in many ca es
of accidents are cool head and a
knowledge of what should be done.
There is no immediate danger from
severing a superficial vein of consid-
erable size; but not so with arteries.
When an artery is cut the red blood
spurts ont in jet at each pulsation.
The first thing to be done is to check
the bleeding until the doctor comes.
This can always be done by pressing
the thumb on the artery above the
wonnd---that is, between the artery
and the heart---or else, if the wound
is small pressing the thumb firmly
on the wound; this stODs the bleed
ing, and stops the flow of blood
through that artery below the point
of pressure. If the wound is where
it can be bandaged, use compress,
which may he small stone, piece of
wood or other hard substance; put
this on the wound and tie bandage
or pocket handkerchief around to
produce pressure and keep the stone
in position so that the bleeding can't
goon.
If a person could forget that the
wounded was human being and
imagine he was stopping a leak in
cask, he would do it cody and effect
ually. 1t is the responsibility that
unnerves us. A cool head is best for
heroic deeds.
If a person receives fracture of
the skull, life often depends on at
once raising up the splintered edges
of the wound, so as to relieve the
pressure on the brain. Any one
might do this with the blade OF 3
pocket knife, or even nail. and
thus. perhaps save valuable life, if
he knew and had the presence of
mind.
Thus all can appreciate the value
of such knowledge as may be utilized
at any time in the relief of suffering
and the saving of life. since various
accidents are constantly occuringbn
every side of US. Without such
knowledge no one IS safe, for one
hour, and he can give little aid to
others in case of need.
If "a person is thrown from a wagon
in the street and severely injured,
hundreds, perhaps, will gather
around him; and although he may
be bleeding to death from a wound
that could be instantly compressed
with the thumb and the bleeding
stopped, the chances are that not one
person will come to his relief, because
not one will know what should be
done In DR.. Halls Health at Home
a case is mentioned where a child of |
ten years accidently tapped the main
artery of the left leg with the blade of
a pocket knife. One member of the
family hasted to call physician, and !
the others wept bitterly as they
watched the life blood flowing away, |
and not knowing what to do, they |
did nothing to check the flow of |
blood. When the doctor arrived the
child was dead.--HdWs Journal of

DISGUISED AS ASACLEKGYMAN. A
A Yale Students Bad Guess
About a Man.

During my last vacation, on leav.
ing Baltimore in returnin from q
trip in the south, took my seat in
almost an empty car and composed
myself for few hours reading and
observation. For some time nothing
worthy of note occurred. The car
emptied itself and [ had almost given
up the hope Of pleasure, when the
door opened and strange looking
individual entered. He gazed about
him with rather an aimless express
sion, and then seated himself beside
me, though it was the only occupied
seat in the car. When I had q
chance to notice him more closely,
found him to be a small, wiry look
ing man, of about 40. with a sancti-
monious face, long hair and specta-
| cles. He was dressed in thread.
bare black suit, with long coat and
| white neck-tie. A felt hat, carpet
bag and some books completed his
equipment, and. altogether I thought
had never seen such an odd and
original speciman. With my usual
penetration I Immediately set him
down for a country clergyman some
what out of his Learings. Every
thing confirmed my first estimate of
mis- character, dress, manner and
voice, for he finally spoke to me and
after short conversation, 1 found,
much to my delight, that I was right.
He was clergyman from some little
settlement in Pennsylvania. Finally
he turned the conversation on reli-
gious matters. and quite frightened
me by the learning which he dis
played. His little grey eyes grew
animated, his sallow face lighted up,
and he talked in strain that al
most made me doubt his sanity. Con-
stantly referring to small edition of
the Bible, which he carried in his
hand, he talked on. l was now
rather frightened. Alone in a car
with this mOnomaniac, my desire for |
character reading was fast vanishing.
l tried to get rid of HIM, but he only |
edged closer to me and squeezed me |
about to use force when the door
opened. A man hurried up to us,
and, leaning over my companion,
whispered: "YOu're wrong old man;
we've got him fast in the next car"
The parsons face lengthened. H0
jumped up and swore. Then the
two hastened out of the car and left
me alone. What could it mean?
The train stopped and my crazy min
ister appeared again. "You don't
know what to make of it, do you?"
he asked. confessed that l did not.
"Well," he continued, 'it was a
strange likeness. and [ ask yer par
don for botherin' yer. Yer don't un-
derstand yet; here's my card; that'D
make it clear. He came near gettiu'
away cause you looked so much like
him, and-anyway l guess [ gulled
you." With that he left me, and
the train moved IN, while 1 sat va
,antly staring on card on which
was irscribe ! James Cole, Detective

When Theory Doesn't Work.

Ruskin says "there is in every ami
mails eye dim image and gleam of
humanity, flash of strange light,
through which their life looks up to
our great mystery of command over
them, and claims the fellowship>of
the creature if not of the SOUL" That
seems to be very. true, and yet some
times Il man notices this dim image
and gleam in the eyes of strange
dog in a foreign orchard, where the
trees are too high to climb and the
fence is too distant to reach; and the
discouraging thought comes over hin
with a dull, sickening thud, that that
dog HIS just formulated a new theory
on the great mystery of our command
over him and is going to prove it
in just anout two minutes. Then all
the fellowship that man feels for the
creature il the dog you can put in
