taken to the city dispensary, where it

light a lot of skeleton keys The de-
lective decided he had a clue, and fol-
lowing it up he brought TO light a bot
tie of sperm oil, a coil of fuse, a file. a
pair of gum shoes. pound of gunpow-

found bearing an address which ;ndi-
Gated that the mans name was Jasper,

Advantages Of Farming.

Land in al parts of the United States
Is rapidly advancing. of course in some
States more than in others. In all of
the Southern States, within the past few
years, the price of land has az a general
thing more than doubled its market
price. In the New England and Middle
states the advance has not been SO
great, but in the Western States and
Territories the advance has almost kept
pace with the Southern States. In this
State within a few years past Improved
land has in almost every instance more
than doubled, and in many cases more
than quadrupled. To show some of our
city and town people what has and may
be done we will give n instance
among the many we could mention of
hat a mechanic has done in the past
fourteen years. At that time he was
living in Il city, working at four dollars
per day. He rented a house and his
family consisted of his wife and six
children; four Of these were attending
the public schools and of course had TO
be fed and clothed and furnished with
books, which would certainly make sad
havoc with four dollars a day. For
several years this man had toiled inces-
sanity and was fortunate in getting
steady employment, being a skilled
workman. and vet with the strictest
economy he had saved but a few hun
dred dollars and saw nothing but drudg-
cry and poverty before him if he con
tinued on in this way; therefore
he mustered up courage enough
to break away from the city.
He invested his few hundreds in
a farm. upon which was a miserable
house and a few acres fenced and i'm
proved. The land (2f0 acres) cost him
five dollars an acre. The family all
took hold and did what they could.
For a few wears they had to put up with
many privations. but they managed to
get along and TO live tolerably comfort
able. Each year improvements were
made as fast as the means would afford.
Trees were planted, vines and even
shades and ornamental trees. In ten
years from the time of purchasing 4
handsome ami commodiOus farmhouse
was erected, which was followed by a
large AM convenient barn, sheds and
other necessary buildings. To-day the
former mectan nj and day-laborer. who
lived from hand to mouth. takes his
family to the city in a handsome car
ria@e drawn by a beautiful thousand
dollar team, and has the satisfaction of
sitting under his own vine and fig tree,
an Independent and happy man. Last
week he was offered $4,000 for his
land. he having added some t it since
his first purchase. which he refuses. If
be had remained in the city those four
teen years the best he could have ac-
eomplished would perhaps have been TO
Owr. There are still opportunities for
others 10 60 and do likewise. though of
course each year many chances are
passing away.--Sdn francisco Chroa-

J nhe Pudding IN the Chair.

occurrence in that neighborhood a long
time ago-before he was born, and he

(Which was a true story the t.head of
the table," a lawyer, while standing to
carve the turkey, found a need of more
room, and so set a big dish of hot pud-
ding in his own chair. The company,
seeing the chance for fun. diverted his
mind from the pudding by introducing
a lively theme that set all a-laughing-
and when Mr.. Carver sat down he sat
in the hot pudding. The later version
whether Of a new and real incident or
an Improvement on the old One-is that
at the recent Thanksgiving in Wyndham
the carver found the turkey 4 tough

at it. he made more room by clapping
"a big dish of not pudding into his

TERRY's TERRITORY.

An Interesting sketch of tho Military De.
partment Of Dakota.
St. Paul Pioneer-Press.
At present the military posts in the
northwest, east of the divide of the
Rocky mountains. are included in what
is known as the department of Dakota,
which embraces within its limits the
state of Minnesota and the territories of
Dakota aud Montana. It wss created
BY order of the president, August II.
1866, out Of the departments of tie Mis-.
souri, and the Platte, and Gen. Alfred II.
Terry was assigned to the command. In
an order dated from Omaha, Neb., Sept.
18th, 1866, Gen. Terry formally assumed
charge OF the department, and designated
Fort Smelling as his headquarters; /; but in
April following transferred his headauur.
ters to st. Paul. There we're then but
ten posts, in the department., viz: Forts
Smelling, Ridgely, Ripley, Abercromb,e.
Wadswolth. (now Sisseton) Randall,
Sully. Rice. Thompson aud Bufopd.
which were garrisoned by about 1000
men, consisting of the tenth. thirteenth.
twenty-second and thirty first regiments
of infantry. There was not single fort
in Montana. The Indian frontier did
not seem very remote from st. Paul: in.
deed the country between the Red and
Mlssouri rivers was wilderness, inhab
tied by the Chippewas and Sioux. while
beyond the Missouri was almost terra
incogDita, where even military
trails were intrequent, and the
Indian roamed at will. Despite the
success OF the then recent expeditions of
Generals Sibley and Sully. the Indian
question was still unsettled. Treaties
had been made only to bs broken, and
the Indians had become 30 insoient and
the demands Of the settlers we're 90 ur.
gent that prompt and energetic action
vas required. The 6rst step taken BY
Gen. Terry was to increase the number
of posts in the department, and orders
we're given for the erection OF several
during the season Of 1857. A post was
established at Cheyenne river and Forts
