in the first place an out lay ofa quarter
ola millions for new buildings at the Fort,
and an addition Of nearly 600 IN the
population there. This will compensate
in a great measure for the cutting off of
trade by the railway which passes to the
west of them. THE section of country is
settled largely by Canadians, and they
have proved 6rst-class in every particu-
lar, and Pembina has goodly per
centage of them. The merchants are
prospecting here and a failure is seldom
chronicled. Messrs. Winters and Yerxa
have immense stocks and are spread
ing out with branch stores at points
west.
From Pembina we went as far as the
Fort, and were much pleased with what
we saw. The buildings form three sides
ola square, the.otficer's quarters being on
the south side. The east side facing the
river is open, and the three seven poun-
der brass guns forming the heavy artillery
of the post are mounted here. The post
is we'll kept, and the parade grounds in
the centre are as smooth as they can be
made. The boys in blue have an easy
time of it here, and only require to keep
things in order. The officers and men
are very popular with the people through
out that section, and all are looking for
ward with pleasure to the increase ofthe
post. Returning from the Fort we had
pleasant drive with Capt. Webster, the
efficient road commissioner of Pembina,
and to whom the town is largely indebted
for its well graded streets and excellent
sidewalks. We are indebted to several
citizens of Pembina for courtesies shown
and information given, especially Messrs.
Gaffney, Kneeshaw, Webb, Nixon,
Cavileer, Nelson and others. The trip
was a very pleasant one, and the afa-
bility Of those we met made it doubly

(Mandau Pioneer


It will be long while before the Man
dan band goes to meet stalwart like
Roscoe Conkling again. When Isaac met
Rebecca he kissed her and wept, but
when this heroic band met Conkling he
merely turned over in his bed. Yester-
day morning, at an unearthly hour, when
newspaper reporters, telegraph operators
and trainmen only were supposed to be
about, the band chartered special train
for Bismarck. They faced the perils of
railroad journey, all to do homage to
President Arthur's friend. He was in
bed when his train got to Bismarck, and
he was there still when it passed through
Mandan. The ungrateful Roscoe did not
even yawn his thinks. The Mandan
band will not do it again.

What is the right pronunciation of the
name of this provincel Is question which
puzzles some people. Most folks pro-
nounce it Manitoba, but there are some
aesthetic individuals who pronouce it
Manneyto. bah. These latter may be
right, but if they are, why are they not
consistent? lit is right to say Nancy
to-bah, it is also right to say Cana-dah,
American, Nova Scoti-ah. NIinneso-tah,
etc., etc. Why it should be Manneyto-
bah and not American, is one of those
things no fellow can find out.

Most Tragic of Tragedies.
A Dreadful Scene Enacted in a Brida
Chamber ia South America.

A horrible affair took place recently at
Rio Grande del Sur, near to the Uruguayan
frontier. A young farmer was bitten by a
mad dog, and remedies were immediately
applied to the wound Cauterization was
resorted to, and there was every reason to
believe that the virus had not entered the
victims system. When the accident occurred
the young man was about to marry; but in
consequence of the untoward occurrence the
ceremony was postponed for three months,
when the medical men who were consulted
on the case gave it as their unanimous opin-
ion that there was not the slightest ground
for apprehendng any danger from the bite.
Inc marriage took place on the farm and
was celebrated with the customary festivi-
ties. After the nuptial supper was over the
bridegroom appeared to be seized with fit
OF melancholy. One of loves caprices, said
somebody. After supper came the ball, and
when this was at its heightthe newly-wedded
couple withdrew from the festive scene and
retired to their apartment.
About an hour afterward the house re-
sounded with ferocious cries intermingled
with shrieks and groans As soon as the
guests had recovered from stupefaction they
started in the direction of the cries. They
proceeded from the nuptial chamber. The
door was burst open and horrible specta
Gle presented itself. On the floor lay the
young bride in pool of blood. She still
breathed, but her body was torn and bitten
as If she had been seized by tiger. In the
corner OF the room was the bridegroom, coy
cred with blood and foaming at the mouth,
scratching, biting and tearing away at the
wall and furniture. With a sudden bound
he sprang like tiger upon the Invaders Of
his lair, and he would have made one or
more victims had not brother of the diving
bride sent bullet crashing through the
madman's brain.

Judge Cadaver has lately fallen into the
habit of showing up at Paradise hall an hour
before the meetings open and studying art
with no on e to bother or make him afraid.
By careful inspection of the busts of Cs-
sar, Jackson, Clay, Shakespeare and by a
close inspection Of the three or four sacred
horse-pistols, the four renowned swords and
the half-dozen chromos, he has become al
most connoisseur, and can almost tell the
difference between genuine Reubens and
tea store plaque. He was on hand as u.s.
ual Saturday evening. Samuel Shin left him
standing before the bust of Caesar and went
down stairs after an onion. Upon his return
the judge lay senseess on the floor, and
around him were the fragments Of the busted
bust. The judge had scarcely revived when
the meeting opened, but there was no shade
of pity in Brother Gardeners voice as he
arose and said:
"Judge Cadayer will be given two weeks

AT the Water Works association banquet
at Niagara Falls the Hon. Richard Crowley
said: "When President Arthur came to the
Presidency, he was surrounded with more
difficult embarrassing circumstances than
perhaps any other chief magistrate, not even
excepting Lincoln. Behind Lincoln stood
the great North to help him in his work.
When President Arthur went in there was
doubt and distrust among many and fear and
trembling among others. Those who know
him best had faith in his integrity and abili-
ty to conduct the affairs of the government
safely. | venture the prediction that when
he has laid down the reins of office right
thinking men of both parties will say his adj
ministration has been not only a success
but that it has been wise, clear-headed and
conservative"

Mrs. Stowe as a Novelist,

James Herbert Morse writes incisiyeIy in
the June Century of ''The Native Element
in American Fiction" subject which he
will conclude in the July number. OF the
author of "Uncle Toms CABIN he saws:
"Some Of these story-tellers were clever, and
had wide audience, but all were greatly
overshadowed by Mrs. Stowe, whose Uncle
Toms Cabin iu 1852, bred Tor Nina Cor
dom in 1856, and THE Minister'S Wooing'
in 1859, marked new era in American nov
Ell writing. Here we had the genuine novel
mo mere romance, or allegory, or evolution
from the inner consciousness, but work
saturated with American life--not local, but
spanning the whole arch of the States.
''Mrs. Stowe was brought up amidst the
divinity of New England, and was as much
the product of its clerical faculty as any di-
vinity student. Both her associations and
her sympathies sent her to the front of the
anti-slavery agitation; while her social adj
vantages and her early migration to the West
gave her an opportunity Of studying our So
ciety in its widest range. Thus she had in
her the Puritan in its Hottest re2ch-the New
England clergyman. She was in the fore
front of the broadest Puritanic movement
the anti slavery reform. She developed amid
the finest culture and ripened in mind when
the times were ripest for action. These were
her opportunities. Her gifts from Nature
were of the Walter Scott pattern. Her mind
was masculine in its perception of humor,
in its broad, healthy common sense. She abb
sorbed like Scott, everything that goes to
the fullest expression of human action-in-
cident, gesture, dialect, feature, tone, inflec-
tion-bolh the peculiar and the general. She
could generalize and individualize-her in
dividuals being both types and distinct per-
sonages-warm, full-blooded, alive all over,
and Characteristic. She had such large in
teIlectual endowment that she could give a
fair fund of mind 10 each of her, creations I;
such a wealth of humor and bonhomSe that
she could warm the coolest blood such a
wide possibility of the sinner and saint in
her nature that she could endow double
headed procession to march with Eva heav-
onward, or with Legree in the other direc.
ton. In Uncle Toms Cabin che was Law
ish. This book contains her whole range of
characters, and everything combined to make
it her great work. bred is but sober va
ration on the anti-slavery theme. The
Ministers Wooing' is but a study in early
New England life. Uncle Toms Cabin
alone places her with Walter Scott. 1t is
more intense and morally fierce than any
thing of Scott, and more dramatic. The
background, though not so historically full
as Scot's backgrounds, is nearly as rich. Ex-
cept in the negro element, there IL no dis
tinctly humorous character in its pages, but
a sense of humor irradiates the whole, fash
ing from black Sam, or Phineas Fletcher, or
Topsy, but more from the authors manage
ment of incident, and binding every person
into the human family. Humor is the sun
shine which warns everything into life."

SEVERAL years ago, according to the De-
troit News, Miss Cynthia E. Cleveland was
an efficient dressmaker at Pontiac. She got
interested in the temperance cause, and be-
came one of the most efficient workers in
Michigan, and as such was favorably known
throughout the State. Two or three years
ago she went to Dakota. where she likewise
became famed in the anti-beer and anti
whiskey cause, becoming president of the
State Woman's Christian Temperance uniol.
Less than year ago she was admi ted to
the bar, being the first lady to enjoy that
high distinction in Dakota. A short time
ago she had her first case in court, and.
stranger than fiction, it was in defense of a
woman on trial for selling liquor without
license-and she won her case.

RECENTLY published immigration statis-
tics show most decided decrease for the ten
months ending April 50, as compared with
the ten months of the last fiscal year. In the
first ten months of that year the arrivals
amounted to 544,601, with this year they have
fallen off to 417,S79. Notwithstanding the
large number of assisted immigrants from
Ireland the falling off from that country has
been 10000, while the decrease of German
immigrants is still more marked, amounting
to $4,000.

A Battle Above the Clouds.
This morning a man was telling on the
streets of terrific battle he witnessed be-
tween two eagles yesterday on the Reavis
place. the birds had come together in the
air, above the tree-tops, and one was trying
to get hold of a jack-rabbit the other held In
It's claws. They would fly at each other
with tremendous force, screeching and
scratching like wildcats. The air was filed
with flying feathers, and the sport was an
immense sight ia. the spectator, who sat on
the fence watching it. Finally, the eagle
with the rabbit dropped his prey and pitched
in for all he was worth He knocked his
foe out in the second round and then,
swooplng to the earth, he took hold of his
rabbit and sailed away to the top of an old
oak tree. The eagle fell to the ground and
was picked up by the young man who saw
the fight He brought the bind lone of the
golden speciesl, to town, and it win be
stuffed and mounted.
