Not the Occasion

The other week when Willard stocks
took tumble and it seemed rs if the
bottom had dropped out of Wall
street and left hole big enough to
take in the whole country, says the
Wall Street Ne,rs, a holder who was
being.pinched. scraping his soul for
more margins, was informed that a
visitor desired to see him.
"Can't see anybody" was his re-
ply.
In FIVE minutes the messenger
came back with the announcement
that it was very important business.

No Relief to the Settler.

In the case cf the Northern Pacific
Railroad company VS. George NJ.
Pressey, the secretary of the interior
holds that when a settlement is made
on an odd section within the limits
of proposed grant, after notice of
withdrawal was received at the local
Office, the department can afford no
relief to the settler, and in such case
the railroad company takes the land
by virtue of the grant. The fact that
the line of the general route was
changed after settlement, is inmate
rial, provided the tract fell within the
line of the general routes, where i'm
provements had been made before
survey and iby mistake placed upor
an odd section.

The Pioneers.

4 letter dated Wallula, Oct. 3, IN
forms us that the pioneers arrived there
all right, but the ferry boat ON Snake
river was aground and they were side
tracked; there are seven Pullman cars
in the train, the Mandan, Fargo,
Miles City, Ft. Benton, National
Park and Ft. Keogh; there are also
six emigrant cars. There is Il little
kicking because on the tickets is a
clause that reads this way:
"This ticket is not good for return
passage unless the owner identities
himself as the original purchaser to
the satisfaction of the authorized
agent of Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway at Chicago,
Illinois, on or before December
22d, 1888, following date of sale, and
when officially signed and dated in
ink and duly stamped on back hereof
by said agent, this ticket shall then
be good only twelve days from such
date"

Bob Burdette on Art.

Bob Burdette has gone in for art
criticism. His maiden effort is too
good to be lost. Here it is: "Miss
Honora Daubigne has just completed
portrait of her father in oil. 1t
would have looked more like the old
gentleman and would have smelled
infinitely more like him, had she
worked the portrait in whisky. Still,
as work of art, it is very valuable
painting; s13 worth of tube colors
were used in its construction, and the
frame alone cost $40. The hair wart
on Mr.. Danbigne's cheek Is omitted in
the picture, and the right ear which
was bit of in a fight down at the red
bridge ten years ago, has been re-
stored by the magic touch of the ac-
complished artist. The nose of the
subject, also, has been toned down,
being treated in rose lakes instead of
vermillion. To get At the true soul
fulness, the tout ensemble, the i'm
mortal intellectual chiaro-oscuro of
Mr.. Daubigne's nose, it would have
to be treated i'm the lake of birthstone,
if there is such a color. As a work Of
art, however, the portrait IS one
of which our city may well be proud.
1t can be recognized by glance at
the name of the subject, which was
neatly lettered on the frame. by Step
ladder, the sign painter.

From party who came up from
the scene of the wreck last evening il
is learned that the small anchors, and
chains, two full sets of sails, spars,
rigging, ETC., have been got ashore, in

pect of unloading some more. The
wreckers have two tents on the beach,

fast as brought to land. Four teams
are engaged in hauling whatever is
thrown off at low tide; while the tide

buffaloes furnished all the meat canned

argument TO convince the English

Brooklyn man sarcastically admitted
that the Englishman was right.

admissions, may as well say that al
the canned salmon put up in Americ;
is also made of buffalo meat"

Christmas will be here in little while,
and its coming is anticipated with much
JOY by those who expect to be remember
ed on that day, while many Others await
its advent as the penniless boy does the
circus-he can see the parade and hear
the loud-voiced man call the people to
see the sights within the tent, but he
knows nothing of the aggregated wonders
seen by the favored ones, save what he
learns from pictures on the bill boards.
This same boy sees in the shop windows
the pretty things that will hang from the
Christmas tree; the daintIes that will be
spread upon the bOuntiful tables, and
hears on all sides the talk of that Christ
mas. which he has no assurance will
bring him any of these many things so
eagerly anticipated by the others. If he
gets a decentdinner on that day it will
exceed his expectations, and a few sticks
of candy, a cheap toy or some cheap pro
lection against the pinch of the winter,
will give him greater joy than will be
experienced by the paupered child of
wealth, whose playthings will cost more
than enough to clothe the poor lad for a
whole year. There are hundreds of little
children in this city who are just in this
condition, and the few kind and thought
full people who seek out these needy ones
and put their charity into practice,
should be increased tenfold.
