We acknowledge the receipt from the

| Ben. Clarke informs us that the state
ment recently published in the Living
ston paper to the effect that the cattle of
upper Yellowstone were liable to suffer
| is wholly unfounded. He has been on
the range all winter and has only seen
one dead COW. The stock of that region
is doing remarkably well, and the per-
centage of loss will be unusually small
Good house wives will soon begin to
remove furniture, tear up carpets, scrub
floors, clean windows. give cold lunches
for dinner and whatever you can get for
supper, and otherwise, produce pan
demonium at home, and at the same time
it would be well for the city to clean up
the streets and alleys, remove the accu-
mulated garbage of winter, Citizens
to clean up their premises etc, if We
would secure good sanitary condition Of
the town. This should not be neglected
but attended to as soon as the weather
will permit.
While coming from the Presbyterian
church last night, We noticed the pastor
coming this way and modestly inquired
where he was going. He replied that,
'1Ie did not know that it way any of my
business" In answer we said. That the
pastor seemed to be making it his bus
mess to find out what his congregation
was doing, and we thought it time his
congregation were finding out what their
pastor was doing. He acknowledged the
point made, but without disclosing his
mission left us and rang the bell at the
residence of G. w. Wakefield and we took
a tumble to his racket.
Clippings from the Minneapolis Jour
nal about the fast mail. 1t is also said
that the Northern Pacific will put on a
fast mail service on their road making
direct connection at St. Paul with the
400 Milwaukee Chicago & St. Paul road:
"The trip and flight of the fast mail. The
mail which arrived here this afternoon
left New York city at $50 on Tuesday
night on the New York Central, and was
carried in the identical cars used for the
white fast mail trains a few years ago.
Albany was reached in a few hours,
where was collected all of the mail from
Boston and the entire New England
country up to the close of business on
that day. Buffalo was reached at 9 a. NJ,
yesterday, where mail from all points in
western New York was gathered in.
Changing here to the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern the train speed on
ward. Cleveland was reached at 1877,
and Toledo at 5. Three miles east of |
Toledo the mail from Detroit and Mich
gan points was added to the tons already
on board. Chicago was reached at 1885,
and here the transfer to the c. B. and @.
for Omaha, and to the Milwaukee for
and St. Paul was made-the
vast western mail being also added. The
{ ain left Chicago at 3 o'clock this morn
ing and ran through in thirteen hours,
b ing ahead of time at every point. St.
Paul was reached eight minutes ahead,
and Minneapolis four minutes ahead of
time, thus placing in the hands Of our
business men Chicago business letters
written last night, Chicago newspapers
Of this morning, and New York and New
mail of only forty-three hours
ago.
A talk with Gen. Gresham. 81 do not
believe your people understand this fast
mail" said the genial postmaster general
Of the United States to Journal report
er. "You see, to have mail leave Chi
cago at night, arriving here in the morn
ing, it would be necessary to start at a
different hour from New York, and then
We could not gather up the days mail
there and throughout New England.
That is the principal object-to get mail
at the close of the day from all parts of
the east, and start it ON its journey to the
setting sun. If we left earlier we would
get no mail. We make the transfer in
Chicago as quickly as possible. If we
left earlier we would be apt to miss the
New York mail, in case it CHANGED to be
a little late, as it is liable to be, and then
all our efforts would be useless. l don't
think any one honestly believes that the
Chicago newspapers have anything to do
with the scheme. Besides, we here
reach all evening trains for the vast
regions beyond"
"How are you pleased with the results
70 far, general?"
II am well satisfied. Everything is
working splendidly"
GLOW about the carrying of passen-
,ers?'
1--WE do not permit it between New
York and Chicago; neither do we allow
express matter to be carried. 1t would
Increase the chances of detention. From
;hicago here, it will be matter for the
Dad to determine. If they can make
he time and carry passengers, all right,
tut they must make the time"
BY this time Minneapolis was reached,
nd the pleasant chat ended.
