A DnrLcy Who the Hand.

An odd character was old Uncle BALKAN,
who did chores for Col. y. He was over ~
years old, thin and bent over, with snow
white wool, aud that peculiar intellectual
expression that one sees in the profile Of a
mullet. The popularity OF Uncle BALKAN
was that he could not Withstand tie charms
OF music. No matter what he was doing or
what errand he was ON, the moment u band
struck up he had eyes and ears for nothing
else. He would DO going home With II hug,
basket Of provisions, trotting along mumbling
10 himself, when around the corner Il parade
would come, drums beating and horns footing
and Uncle BALKAN would fall in and marcl
all over town, forgetting he mate cock wait
ing for the market basket.
However, when it only delayed dinner al
hour or so, It was OF but little moment. The
easy temperament Of the southeTner woulC
not become unduly excited. But when tn,
leg Of mutton came home covered with muC
from an unlucky spin, he would 10 greeteC
with a torrent Of angry inVective and threat
VI condign punishment, to which his only re
ply would be: Cant holp hit, Mars John;
was comm home, sab, when do company
came long an | jess Iined EN-, sab"
"But whore did you goT' said the colonel
No whar' ticker, sab; We was jess q
mArchin', sab, jess a mArohin'."

VIZ wish the legislature, Cheyenne
co~nsenting, would change the name Of
Laramie county, Of which Cheyenne is
the county seat and principal portion
in wealth and population. There Is a
constant confusion Of names between
their county AMI our city. When II
bill is introduced by the gentleman
from Laramie. II the speaker or presi-
dent OF the council recognizes the ''gen-
tleman from Laramie" IL means the
gentleman from Laramie county,
generally from Cheyenne''-but the
expression is often confusing. The
name OF this city might be changed
and obviste this difficulty, but Laramie
city, situated in the Laramie plains -
AT the foot OF the Laramie range' of
mountains, and on the " Laramie
river" seems a very appropriate name,
and is generally known the world over,
while the name Of a county does not go
for much in designating places.-Sen-
tinel.

The Way to Prison,

more and more anxiety of his errand. Tie

CATION who had been convicted of forgery
The hesrt-broken parents had begged him to
visit the prison, hoping the peace OF the Cos
pei might reach him even in his gloomy cell
As the minister kindly greeted him, the
youth scarcely replied, but gazed with a sort
of defiance. He began giving the mothers
tender message. with all the interest the
church ielt in his welfare. At last the pris-
oner broke out;

Gen. NewtOn's Reports ON Progress o
the ImpH Ovemeuts,
W. E CHANDLER,
Secretary of the Navy.

Gen. NewtOn's Reports on Progress of
the improvements.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Gen. Newton has
made his annual report, relative to the re-
moval OF distractions in East River and He'll
Gate, n. Y. He says that owing to the failure
of passage of the River and Harbor bill in
March, 1t became necessary to reserve
su1nclent balance to provide for the extensive
and valuable plant belonging to this appro
priation, and the funds so reserved have been
deyoted during the year to that purpose. The
appropriation for improving East River and
He'll Gate, for the year ending June Both.
1885, is limited in its application to removing
the reef at He'll Gate. A hitherto unknown
rock at 10th ST. East River, has recently been
struck by one OF the Boston passenger steamers
and has been found to be of small size, but
dangerously near the deep water channel. A
reef with Il feet at low water also exists about
$50 yards north east of the place occupied by
Diamond Reef previous to its removal These
two rocks together with Pot Rock and the
remains OF Frying Pan rock, constitute serious
distractions to deep water navigation.
The amount expended on distractions to the
close OF the fiscal year, ending June Both, 1883.
was ~, $40; the amont expended during the
year ended June Both, 1884, was $25.O9 and
has been for running the pumps keen Flood
rock clear OF water and for the watching and
preservation OF property. During the year end
ing, June Both, 1885, the available balance
$371.979 will be applied to extending the
galleries in about three 5quarters of an acre,
by drilling about 5000 feet of inch holes in
the roof and all holes in the pillars for the final
blast which is expected to take place about
September, 1885. A amount that could be prof.
tably expended in the fiscal year ending june
Both, 1886, is 100000. The stimated amount
required for the entire and permanent COM
pletion of the improvement in accordance
with the approved and adopted project ia
$1,602.964, and the amount of commerce and
navigation to be benefited by the completion
of this work is about 100000 daily.
