Northern Pacific Changes.

Upon the completion of the Northern
Pacific in September, several important
changes are to be made in the operative
department of that road. At present
General Manager Haapt has charge of
the eastern division only, but when the
existing gap between Helena and MIS-
soula has been constructed, he is to be
given the management of the whole road
from st. Paul to Portland. J. NJ. Buckley,
located at New Tacoma, Washington,
who at present has charge of the western
division, is to continue as assistant gen
eral manager of that division, and J. +.
O'Dell, superintendent of transportation,
is to be made assistant general manager
of the Eeastern division. As regards the
superintendency of transportation, it is
generally expected that that Office will be
abolished, or at least merged into some
other department, probably that of the
new assistant general manager. These
changes are authentic, and have been
announced by the officials of the road.
In connection with them rumor has it
that several other important changes are
to be made, the most noted of which is
in connection with the general passenger
and ticket department. This Office, it is
said, will be divided, and G. X. Barnes,
who is now both general ticket and gen
eral passenger agent, will be made gen.
eral ticket agent, while prominent
eastern man is to be made general pas
senger agent. There is to be a general
reconstruction of the department, and a
special slate has been made, which will
be made public when all arrangements
have been perfected. By the change no
heads will be cut of, but the offices and
officers will be changed somewhat, and
new titles giveh to some of them. In
addition to those mentioned before
it has become generally known that John
Muir, now superintendent of traffic Of
the Western division of the Northern
Pacific, and of the Oregon Railway 4
Navigation company, Oregon and Cal
ifornia, and Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany, is to he made superintendent of the
whole line with A. L. Stokes in charge of
the Western division, and J. NJ. Hanna
ford of the Eastern division, under his
direct supervision. One or two other
departments will, it is said, be also placed
under his charge.

And as she turned 80 that the light was
on her face I saw that it was 30. And
then we sat down and had long talk.
It was our last talk. I was not very
kind. God knows I am sorrow now.
She wanted most of all to see her little
girl, whom had taken from her and
placed in the Convent school in Canada
three years before, and it seemed to
break her heart when I refused to send
for her to come. By and by, however,
when I promised her that she should
surely see her before she died, she be-
came reconciled. She talked with calm
unconcern about her coming death, re-
minded me of my promise, and told me
she had brought me all her papers; some
that we had written together before I
had learned to spell. There was a valor,
sweetness, too, and dignity, a large
charity in all she said and did now in
the twilight of life that won all hearts to
her entirely. My secrets she kept till
the grave closed over her, and she never
complained of anything or of any one,
but was patient, resigned and perfectly
fearless and tranquil to the end. But the
end was not so near after all. When I
went back to see her one day she had
gone and had left no word where she
could be found. Then l began to fear
and doubt her promise; the winter wore
away and April came. Then they came
to tell me, from her, that she was dying
and must keep my promise. And so 1
arranged for her child to come, and l
went every day to assure her that she was
coming and to take her some flowers and
whatever kind messages and encourage
ment could.
REUNITED BY DEATH.
YEARLY the days went by till away up
in May, the month in which she was
born. Then the child came and the good
people. the gentle, loving people who
kept with her and cared for and loved
and pitied her in these last days, said it
was like religion to see them together,
and that the dying woman in her last
davs was very, very happy. And so
Minnie Myrtle died last May here in
New York. When went up to look on
her dead face, strange fancy of hers
she had had set all about the foot of the
bed, where she could see them, all the
flowers I had sent her, the withercd ones
and all. There was quite half trunk
full of papers which she had brought and
intrusted to me, some of them suggesting
wonderful things, great thoughts and
good and new; for much that she wrote
and maybe this is not just praise-was
better than any writing of mine. But
she lacked care and toll and sustained
thought. I bought little bit of ground
in Evergreen Cemetery and there the
hand that writes this laid the dear, tried
lady to rest, forgiving and begging God
to be forgiven.

ting in the brush, the Indians drew off.
At dark they resumed their tramp and
arrived It the agency at about eleven the
evening of the next day, having run into
presumably the same war party about
three miles from their destination.
They told their tale to Frost, the Crow
agent and were not believed. At about
three in the morning, the war party seen
by them took fifty-two horses and mules
from the agency corral. The agent now
aave credence to the latter part Of the
story and was forced to believe the re-
mainder, when about . week Later
Crow party came in and told what they
had seen, while on their way to Tongue
river and as they were crossing the Little
Horn they came upon the trail Of about
five hundred Ogalals warriors going up
the country. Thinking that the object
of such . large party must be to attack
the agency, the Crows took their trail
and followed it. When they came to the
scene of the fight they found that the
Sioux had turned back and had gone to
their own country by another trail. The
Crows saw the bodies of the three Sioux
and the dead horses and the camp just as
it was when left by the trappers and
noticed also that one Of the box elder
trees, which was about eight inches in
diameter, had fallen, being cut in two by
bullets. They now took the back trail Of
the Ogalalas, which they followed to
the crossing of the Big Horn, where
they found ten dead bodies freshly placed
in trees, and here Is in every other camp
that had been made by the Sioux after
the fight, were many signs to indicate .
large number Of wounded.
Bravery and cowardice are but attrib-
utes given at birth, and no cultivation
will give them or take away; so they
should receive neither praise or blame;
vet ell admire the former in whatever
form it may be shown. To be exposed to
the fire of 500 savages for four hours; to
face death and expect it every moment,
and yet to be perfectly cool and contain
ed requires q physical courage, which
was shown no stronger at Thermopylar
than here. The Spartans fought for
wives, children and Homes; these fought
but for life.
To these and such q these all honor
be given, fdf that they saved those at the
Crow agency from bloody fiehtand per-
haps annihilation, who can doubt7
Perhaps too little credit has been
given by those in the settlements, for the
security they have enjoyed, to these
rovers of the prairie, who always ON the
frontier gave notice Of the coming Of hos
tiles, and sometimes, as. in this case,
fought them off.

attack from the Indians, who held the
farther point of the ridge on which I had
stationed my men. Suddenly Minnie,
baby in arms, stood at my side and began
to calmly discuss the situation and to
pass merry remarks about the queer
noises the bullets made as they f1attened
on the rocks about us and glanced over
our heads. 1 finally got her to 60 down,
or, rather, promise to 60 down to camp
for the better safety of the baby. But in

beaten off.
A LEAF FROM HER JOURNAL.
Here is one leaf from her journal, or
rather, I think, her recollections Of the
journey, which she left me along with
her other papers when she died:
"One night of that journey shall not
soon forget. There bad been some fight
ing ahead of us and we knew the foe was
lurking in ambush. They made q kind
of fort of the freight and while we lay
down in the canyon, baby and I, away
up on the high, sharp butte, Joaquin
stood sentinel. And say this tonight
in his behalf and in his praise, that he
did bravely and saved his loved ones
from peril that night. That he stood on
that dreary summit, target for the foe

valor-stood till the morning shone ra-
diant, stood till the night was passed.

his courage and echo it over the land !;

she wrote against me and lectured about
me and did all that made my life 80 mis-
erable, she did not really mean my ruin ;
but thinking me strong and prosperous
and happy, she exhausted her wit and
sarcasm on me and laughed that she
might not weep. But in time she drove
me nearly mad and l left the country and
proposed never to return. My publish
ers, Roberts Bros. of Boston, had sent
her $50 a month as regularly as the
months came all the time. She was re-
ceiving that sum, and perhaps as much
more directly from myself, as I could
spare 1t, all the time 1 was in Europe
and she received these sums for years
after her marriage. But the poor, spoil
ed child of Port Oxford never quite got
over her childish love for wasteful folliea
and dress and show and travel, and 90
was forever pinched and in debt.
