The English gold supposed to lie in the

was sunk in New York harbOr 104 years

The Secretary Of the Treasury has directed
that the contract made with George W.
Thomas. Of New York, for raising the
wreck be aunulled, and new contract
be made with Bean q Hartwell, Of PrOyi-
dence, on the same terms. The contract
with Mr.. Thomas was terminated on the
ground that he did not use due diligence
in the prosecution Of the work. The new
contractors represent the persons who
have already advanced money to carry
on the work. and who are willing to push
it TO completion. 1t is represented that
the frigate contained the equivalent Of
about s., 00O,Oo0 when she sank. By the
terms Of the contract the government is
to receive all the relics and 10 per cent.
Of all the money which may be recovered.

that she is, is already composing lullaby songs

for Ella to sink her individuality even in these
tender, soothing, maternal odes, and the songs

SHE LOOKED PLEASANT.

SHE AOOEAED fAEASANI.
Yesterday morning the door of Goff's photo
graph gallery was opened and when the artist
came out into the reception room he found
there young man and young woman who looked
like they had been housed up on homestead
claim for year. When the artist appeared the
man Strengthened up and said:
rs this whar' you take picters?"
'Yes, sir. Do you wish sitting?"
"Do you think you kin take that gals picter
an make 'er loom up as natural as hog in q
cornfield?'
"Oh. yes; can make it just as natural as life"
"Drive ahead, then, an sling 'er out the best
'un you've got in the shop, an I've got the dust
right var to blow in for the job. Marthy never
had picter TUX an we're goin' to be married
jes' as soon as this jobs done an we kin run
down preacher, an she wants to hev somethin'
to show in futur' how abe looked afore she war
married. Crack ahead, pardner, an do 'er up
hefty an I'll put up the coin on the spot"
When the young lady had been seated Goff
made the usual request for her to look pleasant,
and the man said
eyes, Marthy, look pleasant an smilin'. Think
bout somethin' good. Think bout apple pie,
gosh darn it, great big chunk o fat apple pie,
with the juice drippin down onto yer plate an
q runnin' through yer fngers!"
And Goff says the smile she wore was 20
broad and expansive that it was all he could do
to get it into focus.

INDIAN GIRL STUDENTS.

We learn from Philadelphia paper that
number of Indian maidens have just entered a
female seminary in that city-not the ideal In
dian maldens of whose wondrous beauty dime
novelists so often rave, but the genuine blank
eted beauty of the reservation of the blooming
and boundless west.
Those who are acquainted with the Indian
character will be prone to think that as school,
mate of the aesthetic eastern maiden, the dusky
damsel will not prove very glittering success.
She has coy little habits and simple customs
that unfit her at times to move in the more re-
fined circles of school-girlhood. She may at
times arise in the morning feeling q dreamy
lauguor and take notion to 60 to her studies
clad in the simple undress costume of her tribe,
and it would create sensation and attract the
attention of her schoolmates from their studies
to see her walk in wearing nothing but spell
ing book and glad smile. She is liable to do
this at any time, and the other scholars would
lose considerable valuable time while studying
the aboriginal fashions and working upa golden
sunset on their studious faces The untutored
child of nature has even been known to appear
on our public streets wearing this inexpensive
dress, and instead of blushing and trying to
hide her head under her arm at the attention she
attracted, it only caused her to walk with
prouder step and feeling of pride at the hom-
age paid her. It msy be possible that civilizing
influences will in time have an effect on the
bronze beauty, and she may be induced to wear
clothes as christians do, but the chances are
xh>% $ha 81: o<n Uhn have the
girls in charge Will find it difficult to keep their
clothes on them-unless, indeed, they clothe
them in porous plasters.

THE VALENTINE SEASON.

Next Thursday will be st. Valentines Day,
and for day the mails will be burdened with
every variety of hideous carioature which the
ingenuity and fendishness of man can invent.
It is day upon which every mortal has free
license to abuse bis friends in an anonymous
manner. with such tender suggestions as:-
The aspect of your hideous nose
Reminds me of the full blown rose,
And humble, crawling ant scarce clears
The swesping outreach of your ears.
Your eyes are snaky, and your breath
Suggestive is of home of death:
You spend your time in lodging creditors,
You pigmy of the class called editors.
This custom is freely INDUCED in by yonng
and old. It has often been alluded to a. relic
of barbarism, but no matter how barbaric it
may be, there is fun in it, and it will probably
live and flourish long after you and l, dear
reader, have taken our places in the choir above.
Some of the sentimental valentines are rare
works of art and beauty. They are never sent
unless the sender entertains more than the usual
affection for the sendee-in short, they are used
but by lovers who are pretty we'll advanced in
the degrees of courtship. Of course the young
fellow who sends one of these elaborately de-
signed tokens of 18-karat love knows that the
object of his hearts affection will never dream
that he sent it, and, of course. shs knows when
she receives it that the dear fellow will think
that she will light upon an entirely different
parsonage ~ the sender.
There is large and varied assortment OF these
works of art on sale in Bismarck, and they are
going With = 1apidity that indicates general
observance of the custom.

Der her features, 80 handsome and sweet.
The maiden did just a. she said, for, oh, dear!
She tumbled as quick a. wink,
And, % she had promised, she slid on her rear
Nearly half way across the big rink.
