were conned over carefully, and objections
if any, were politely made. In asking
questions of her business staff and com.
pany she was direct and to the point, but
withal so polite, 80 very polite, that a
times it was embarrassing. Altogether
Mrs. Langtry impressed her employees

DR.. G. H. Thoma permits US to publish
the following letter to him from A. Boun-
gard, dated White Sulphur Springs,
Meagher county, Montana:

it. 1t has s5?eIs! advantages, although a
new town. The springs possess fine
medicinal properties. A good many visit
the springs during the Summer. They
have only recently been improved, and
they are not generally known. The water
is hot, and people drink it at all times of
the day. There are four different mining
districts from eight to eighteen miles from
here, all new or discovered in the last
three or four years, besides Neihart, the
most prominent mining camp in this sec

Raid MOUNTAIN PLACERs.
Not Only Gold. bat Quicksilver
Found I'm the Diggfngs.

Judpe Adams, Smith Fuller and several
other miners have taken advantage Of the
upususl snowfall, and consequent large
supply Of water in Bald Mountain, to
sluice for gold. They have to work at con-
siderable disadvantage, but for the last
month or SO they have got out al average
10 he man daily Of about So. They get a
color any place along the r%ayine, and in
some places ind little nuggets running
from 50 cents TO 81 DO in value. The gold Is
coarse and harder as they go down, and
they are now working for bedrock, where,
perhaps, they may make a good cleanup.
Since starting into work they have found
cold for a distance OF some 400 or 500 yards
in the gulch aud above where they had
supposed the sr0ss-ledge 10 be from which
the supply Of gold originates. The Judge
and Mr.. Fuller thinks that they
have a bright prospect for finding
the mother lode, and they believe that
when they do, Bald Mountain will
be the scene Of the next grand rush
and excitement. They have pitched
their tents there and they have faith to
stay. They we're surprised, after digging
down some seven or eight feet through the
loose dirt and gravel, to find, along quite
an extent Of the r%svine, here and there,
small quantities Of native quicksilver
resting in e~revices on the compact gravel.
There has been some sluicing in the rayine
before aud quicksilver has probably been
used, but not where il Ia now found. 1t

EMMIGRATION,

Since 1881 the foreign immigration
has been decreasing little. In that
year 720,045 foreigners landed on our
shoressaII .ast year these figures fell off
about 20O,0lQ Sixty years ago, when
5000 foreigner ccs.me over, sore appre-
hension was felt lest the American pop
ulation would be overwhelmed. Der
ing the last twenty years we have be-,
come accustomed to large annual in
fux of the foreign born and take pride
in the movement which has been attend
ed with many gratifying results, al
though it is blessing not unmixed with
some evils. The question has been put
and amply discussed in the newspapers,
whether we can assimilate rapidly
increasing foreign element. Thas far
we have succeeded fairly; but it is
doubtful if at the end of the next fifty
years, the European population contin-
uing to overflow upon US, we shall pre-
sent dsitinctively American front, as
we do to-day. Doubtless we shall
always be English speaking, but it
is probable that we shall be decidedly
composite nation. There are intima.
tions-pointers to that effect. to day.

announcement of Count de Lesseps that
he will soon begin work on the s13. .0Oo.-
OQO canal by which hehopes to pour
water from the Mediterranean to food
the Desert of Sahara indicates that
Frenehmen are solicitous lest England
should obtain supremacy in the trade
which ere long must flow from the heart
OF Africa to Mediterranean ports. Should
England restore the tranquility OF the
Soudan railway will soon be built
from Suakim on the Red Sea to the
last cataract of the Nile, distance of
only $40 miles, and thus England will
obtain the trade of SO, 900, 600 Soudanese.
By converting the Desert of Sahara in
to sea, France not only hopes to give
Iunls and Algeria an insular position,
but also to make it possible for her ships
TO sail directly to soudanese ports, and
the construction of a railway from one
OF the projected ports of the artificial sea
to the very heart OF Africa would not be
long postponed, should M. de Lesseps'
scheme prove successful. Unless Ell
Mahdl establishes himself as permanent
ruler OF the Soudan, civilization will
make rapid progress from the Medit.

fenced to states prison for ten wears fn for

by the court sentencing him, for ,he
reason that there is doubt as to
whether the judgment should stand
and he is now out on bail until the case
can be reviewed. 1t appears from
statements which have been made
that lake, when quite young, became
intimate with young girl in the New
England town in which he resided, and
in order to escape the responsibility
which hseemed inevitable, he disappeared
After several years he returned bnt
what became OF the young lady in the
meantime is not known. He found
however, little girl running about the
streets neglected. he cared for her for
come time. Another desire to roam took
possession of Lake, and he travelled
abroad. After many years he returned
to his native place again, and was in-
troduced to young woman in whom he
became interested. He thought she
was necessary to his happiness, and af-
ter while he proposed that she should
become his wife. I'ney were married
and were living together, when it was
intimated, and then asserted by some of
the older inhabitants, that the girl whom
Lake had taken for his wife was tho
same girl for whom he provided for a
time and was his daughter.

THE ACRTICS.

\ 4
The inquiry with reference to the dis
aster attending the last expedition sent
to rescue Lieut.. Greedy has resulted in
finding by court which very severely
reflects upon Gen. Hazen, Chief Signal
officer. for ignorance of the true situation
and for giving orders of an injudicious
nature. The charge;is made, too, that
there exists at the signal office most
careless and bungling work in keeping
the records. This last charge is bad
enough, but it must occurto every re-
flecting mind, with reference to the find
ing of the court that it is the height OF
folly to to intrust an important Polar ex.
pedition to the general direction of q
person who has had no experience what
ever in that field and to place men in
charge of relief ship, who, with one
exception, had never been in Artic seas.
and We're certainly not fitted for meeting
Artic emergencies. Artic navigation is
as different from the navigation Of lower

The Gila Monster.
Esanta Fe Cor. Cleveland Leader.

IL
The lizard family attains great per-
fection IN the southwest, climaxing in
the famous and horrible creature called
the Giia monster of Arizona. This is a
big, black lizard from foot to four
feet in length. He has pair OF villain.
Gus, bead-like eyes in his head beneath
a couple of horny eyebrows that gives
his mug an uucommonly ferocious ex-
preston. Around his neck is broad
band of beautiful yellow. The Arizona
prospectors tell the widest tales about
the poisonous qualities of the Gila mon
ster, some even claiming that the rep.
tile kills its prey by breathing on It,
This is probably decidedly fshy snake
story, or snaky fish story, whichever
you may call it. Certain it is that the
Gila mosster is poisonous to a degree.

me one he had in cage last summer.
the bite of which had killed a number
of small animals he had put within it's
reach. It's poison is contained in mi.
mute cells at the base of number of
saw-like teeth. Though naturally a
sluggish brute, it ut times exhibits the
most frightful quickness, darting like a
flash upon its prey and seizing the same
between its jaws, which it shuts and
keeps closed with the strength and te.
nacity of swapping turtle. The poison
slowly exudes and penetrates the wounds
made by the teeth, and if the victim be
an animal of lesser degree than man
faintness and death speedily ensue. The
poison differs from that of every known
venomous snake in being an aIkali
while that of serpents is acid, 1t acts
directly on the heart and brain without
local effects of serious nature.
