Just the Leg for an Arctic Climate.

(From the Brooklyn Eagle.1
All Smith Sound explorers have
something to say of the Esquimau with
the wooden leg. Everybody knows, of
course that timber does not grow in
that part of the world, and the man
with the wooden leg must be quite a
curiosity to the Elesmere Land Esqui-
maux. who occasionally visit their
friends on the Greenland coast. His
name is Arrowtah. One day, when he
was quite boy, he was out on hill
hunting birds, when great stone rolled
on his foot and crushed it. His moth
er, to save his life, cut off his leg about
six inches below the knee with q knife
made of bone. Arrowtah survived the
rude surgery, and grew up a stout young
man, but was almost entirely helpless to
his tribe. because he could only hop
around on one leg. In 1849 the sur
geon of tho North Star, one of the
Franklin search vessels, made him a
wooden leg, which was repaired and re-
newed by DR.. Hayes eleven years later.
Twenty-four years after he first put it
on the Polaris party found him still
stumping around on his good, stout
oaken leg, and he could hunt auks with
the best of his tribe, though the difficult
ty of travelling over the rough ice made
him useless as walrus hunter. Arrow
tab at last accounts was very anxious
to cross over to Ellesmere Land in
search of wife. He said none of the
ladies in his own tribe suited him.

Matt O'ReardOn's Romance.


At the City Hospital in Louisville
last Monday, in the presence of but two
or three friends, died Matt O'Reardon,
one Of the most popular song writer's of
recent years. Young in years, but brok-
en- down by disease, with shattered
nerves and wrecked mind, for year
or more he might have been seen lying
about the bar-rooms stupid from strong
drink. Now and then some lover of
music would stop in front of some IA
miliar haunt of O'Reardon's and listen
to waltz played with the skill of a
master. Sometimes, fred by drink, he
would sit at a bar-room piano and play
some composition of his own with fer
vor and pathos that drew tears from
those about him. Years ago he fell in
love with Alice Oats. he certainly
thought she loved him in return, but
one day he found out his mistake. He
was told that his love was not recipro-.
Gated.
He Immediately began to drink
heavily, and from that time to the day
of his death he was seldom free from the
influence of drink. He obtained a num-
Der of engagements on the stage, but
he broke them all. He could never be
trusted to keep sober any length of
time. Some weeks ago he was taken
sick and Manager Whalen of the Grand
Theater succeeded in raising little for
him and getting him to the hospital.
The very day he died Mr.. Whalen re-
ceived $6 from the actors fund. It
came too late, however. O'Reardon
wrote my Dream of Love is Ger
shortly after his unfortunate love
affair. He also wrote Gathering Shells
BY the seashore," "Only an Ivy Leaf u
Marriage Bells" and many others that
have been sung all over the world.

DAk0 OF a
a 4hippiug Point,

Pierre is a shipping point for all
Black Hills freight sent over both the
Chicago & North Western and Chicago.
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railways. Ship
ments via. the latter line to it's Missouri
River terminus at Chamberlain are sent
up the river to Pierre for trans-shipment
to the Hills. The traffic between
Pierre and Deadwood is immense. In
the transportation of freight there are
10000 oxen and mules and 1000 men
constantly employed. the tonnage
amounting to about 20, 900, 600 pounds
per annum, and the money annually paid
for freighting, amounting to over $780,
900 is expended in Pierre.
Pierre is sthe headquarters for Military
and Ranch Supplies forwarded by river
to the various forts and military posts
and to different points along the s:Big
Muddy" where small settlements have
sprung up. Pierre has the trade, alto
gether, of not less than $4,000 people,
including Indians. U. s. A. Quarter

and Offices of Collector of Customs.
and Internal Revenue Collector are To-
Gated here. In the river traffic there
are twenty-five steamers engaged during
the season, plying between Pierre and
points above and below.
Building Activity.
During the past season there was
erected brick courthouse, three brick
business blocks, and over 800 wooden
buildings, involving an expenditure of
over g., 500, 900. There is now in pro-
cess of erection the Park Hotel, q brick
structure 1O0x120, four stories high, and
everything indicates that there will be a
great increase in building during the
year 1884, and there will be an active de-
mand for building material and mechan-
les in all branches of trade.
The first industry established in Pierre
was brick making, of which there was
manufactured last season over 1000, 600

have now been completed to manufact-

been robbed there and the registered

this larceny could hardly have been per-
petrated without the connivance of the
official guardian of the letter-bags. Not
many nights SINCE the gig belonging to an
English trainer of race horses was
stopped at night by two men in the
forest of La Morlaye, but by vigorously
dogging his horse, and forcing him to
gallop, the intended victim escaped
from his assailants. On reaching La
Morlaye he sailed forth with his stable
lads in pursuit of the thieves, but with
out success.

PIE:R RFE

a Manufacturing Business
can easily be established at Pierre, ow-
ing to the low freight rates obtained,
competition between river and railroad
transportation, the abundance OF wood,
which is now selling for 81 cord, and
the immense quantity of coal and other
raw material in the adjacent reservation
west of the river.
a Jobbing Trade
has already been developed by Pierre mer-
chants with the Black Hills and the
country up and down the river, and
with lower rate of freight than can be
obtained at Watertown or Huron, or
any other point in South Central Dako-
ia, and being the only railroad point on
the boundary of the reservation soon to
be opened, Pierre is destined to become q
great jobbing center.
Activity in Real Estate
began last year and more sales were
made than in the previous two years Of
the city's growth, and there has been q
healthful, gradual advance in the price
of city property, and every one has made
money by operating in real estate. The
Indications point to an early springs
business and an advance in prices.
