delegate to the Presbyterian assembly for the
United States, which meets at Saratoga
Springs, New York, next May. He was
chosen at the presbytery that met at Neche
the past week.
The Larimore PIONEER says: ''Last Mon
day special train started from Bowling
Green, Missouri, for Dakota, the company
consists of Coils. Parker and Ely and their
friends, with stock, etc. Part of the COM
pany will stop at Larimore and the remainder
at Mapes, having rented large quantities of
land near both places. They are men OF
means and energy, and will be an acquisition
to Dakota.''
The same paper reports this: eve
have heard of a new device for holding
claims secure against jumpers. a man in
the hills is said to have last year set post
near his shanty and then set up clothes
line, on which he sewed some of his old
clothes, sheets, table cloths, ETC., to resemble
washing hung out to dry. He then left for
several months, the ruse succeeding in Civ
ing all land seekers the idea that a family
lived on the claim all the time. Yankee in
genuity will hardly beat this.

q life full Of adventure and stirring in

rebuked for incompetence and told he
would never make an officer. He res
ented this by tearing his epaulets from
his shoulders and throwing them at his
snperior's feet. He obtained a commits
sion and shortly after disting uished
himself in the Crimean war. In the
great TAPPING rebellion in China Gordon
assumed command of the emperor's
forces and won everv battle. Always
foremost In a charge, Gordon carried no
weapon, having only a cane which he
used to direct the movements of his
troops. This cane the Chinese believed
was q magic wand, and this idea wa of
immense service. In 1874 he was en-
gagged by the khedive to deal with the
Soudan difficulties. His Eve years.
