A Mem Route.

During this pleasant weather, to any
one contemplating trip cast. we would
recommend making the journey by stage
to Glendale. AS the outfit travels only
by day, splendid opportunity would be
had of viewing the country; and, as there
is no other road in Dakota charging as
high rates as the Northern Pacific, un-
doubtcdly saving could be made in
money way. As the trip occupies but
two days from Williamsport, there would
be little cause for becoming tired. One
could take his gun along and do some
hunting morning and evening ; and, un-
doubtedly, if deer or buffalo crossed the
trail, the driver, Mr.. Cochranc, would re-
verse the engine (two mules) and stop the
train long enough to haul him in-that
is, after the expiration of the provisions
of the game law. Itwould be quite novel
to ride over the country for two days in
a section as bare of settlement most of the
way as that around Williamsport was fif
teen months ago. During recent trip
Mr.. Cochrane saw buffalo near by, and
he has come upon several antelope. He
passes many lakes and streams, upon
which may be found myriads of ducks
and other water fowl. Mr.. G. says there
is some very fine country on his route.
and as pretty and fruitful valleys as one
could wish to see. The stage would be
just the thing for party of Bismarck
hunters to take for an excursion down
into the unsettled regions twenty miles
southeast of us.

Il -HappY G0thepiiag.

Last Sunday, at the handsome residence
of County Treasurer Joseph N. Roop,
six miles from Williamsport company
comprising large number of the citizens
of this section gathered to offer heartfelt
thanks to the beneficent and all-wise
Ruler who had sent to the settlers upon
this their first season here bountiful crops
and pleasant harvest time.
After the male portion of the visitors
had inspected the stables, machinery,
stock, poultry and other accouterments
of tirst-class Dakota farm, it was an
nounced that the time had arrived for the;
services to begin, and all repaired within
the house, where seats had Eean prepared
for the company, which comfortably
filled two large adjoining rooms.
The sermon or address to the assembled
settlers was delivered by Mr.. J, H. Worst.
who resides near Williamsport, and W as
extremely impressive and to the point.
The gentleman called attention to the
practical teachings Of our Savior, and to
the fact that while he was OH earth there
were none so poor or so lowly but that
He recognized them as children of the
common Father, and worthy of receiving
comfort and aid. Mr.. Worst spoke of
the meaning to be drawn from the prayer,
"Givc us this @lsyy our daily bread;" that
it did not mean to sit idly by and pray,
but that one should work along the line
of his prayer. The remarks, though ex-
tempore, were eminently fitting to the
occasion, and at points exceedingly elo-
quent. His reference to those in our
county who have been visited by hail
were timely, and the hope was expressed
that in the outpouring of thanks for the
bountiful harvest those who have lost
their crops would be remembered in SUBJ
stantial manner.
The gathering was such as to make one
proud that he or she isa citizen Of this
community, and we sincerely hope that q
like cause may for many q year call to-
gether the same or q larger assemblage.
When the cholera appeared at Mar
seilles the swallows all left the city, and
none have yet returned.

Sheep IN En,,ao,ss Co,.nty.

From the Bismarck journal we clip the
following: The sheep ranch of Alexander
Campbell and his sons, including Dugald,
who was the pioneer of the family, is the
most interesting place Register Rea has
visited in the Bismarck land district. He
reports the location on bench of beau
tifsA land in the extreme northwest of
Emmons county, Immediately east Of
Don Stevenson's home. In front of Mr.
Campbell's house is the Missouri river,
making curve that heightens the beauty
of the landscape, and awayi in the distance
are the sloping hills, that slightly remind
the Campbells of their native Scotland.
The government land primarily and the
hills secondarily attracted our excellent
Scotch. friends to this locality They
were shepherds in the old country, and
naturally their attention was directed to
the fitness of the billowy prairie for sheep
raising. Last summer they drove up
from-Cheycnne !, 100 head, with a trifling
loss. Their experience since has justified
their judgment in every particular. Last
winter their total loss was one little lamb.
During the lambing season this year
their losSwas absolutely nothing The
cold weather proved more of blessing
than a crfrse and the so-called wild oats
have turned out harmless tickler The
flock now numbers over 1,SO0 The graz
ing is ample. The only limit to the herd
IS in the quantity Of wild hay that can be
secured for winter feeding. 1t was Mr..
Campbelrs experience that nearly every
day last winter he could Craze his Sheep
on the high prairie. He found the air
healthful and free from the expected se-
verify. Disease is not yet traceable. and
its absence is a great advantage ever
sheep culture in Scotland. In that coun-
try ground rent alone, yearly, is $1.25
per head. Here it is nothing This year
the Campbells got in Bismarck 16 cents
per pound for their wool, which is more
than they obtained in Great Britain. One
man and a bouncing black shepherd dog
can take care 6f the herd. The elder Mr..
. Campbell eitimates the profits as being
ahead of any other business in this Sec
tion-at least entirely satisfactory to him
self and his sons. Father Campbell is
an ideal shepherd, being e-looking
man, with an intelligent head, crowned
with heavy locks of snow-white hair.
The scene that embraces this herd of
old sheep and 700 lambs, guided with a
staff and the frisky dog, forcshadows the
future development and civilization of
our rich grazing districts. May the song
never cease ''The Campbells are Comm !"

THE DELEG ATESHIP.

There seems to be no change this week
as.regards the political situation in Da-
kota. From Yankton to the Dominion,
and from Fargo to Montana, nine out of
ten Of the newspapers express themselves
as favorable to the return of Delegate
Raymond The result Of the political
future is one of the things "no fellow
can find out;' but at present it seems
that nothing but q miracle will prevent
the renomination and consequent re-
election of one who has served the terri
tory faithfully and well.

it is also good country for the farmer
who has money enough to start new
farm in good shape. The labor of agri-
culture is reduced to a minimum by the
richness of the soil and its adaptation to
the use of machinery. The raising and
gathering of the crops is all done between
April and-September. In no part of the
country have the farmers as much leisure
for fixing up their houses and attending
to their stock, and for reading and socia-
bility.

Not the Right Kind Of a Veteran.
 Newspaper reporters are not often mis- taken in their judgment of men, but one who had spent the day at Hartford yester- day and returned weary was quite badly taken in. Dropping into an iee-cream saloon he saw 8 man in uniform who looked tired and homesick. Thinking that he would do the poor soldier kind turn he invited him to eat some cream with him. The veteran warrior accepted. Tine following conversa ton took place:
 Reporter" Terrible hot day."
 Soldier" Yes"
 Reporter-'' Wasn't it dissgreeable walk ing in the parade ?'
 SoIdier-l looking astonished) -"Whst do you mean?'
 Reporter collapses he sees the ''S' of the Salvation Army on the soldiers shoulder. He eats his cream hastily and rushes out feel ing that he has gagged" himself badly.

The veteran Grays and citi- zens' committee are requested to meet at the association rooms, Glebe building, at 10 m., where badges will be furnished, after which they them proceed to the Union armory. The friends of the Grays are requested to send flowers for decorating the banquet hall in the old Union armory, Masonic building, before ten o'clock a. m. We trust those of our citizens living along the line of march will be as elaborate in their decorations as the time will permit of. The committee of arrangements reported last evening that the sum already in the hands of the treasurer for the purpose of entertaining the 7th amounted to over $1, 100. This is not sufficient to cover the expense and any of our citizens who have not been called upon or who desire to contribute can send their subscription to Captain George S. Arnold or to the treasurer, Samuel H. Crane.
 The Seventh left New York on their special train at o'clock yesterdaY morning. There were thirteen cars aside from two baggage cars. The trip to this city was made in quick time and the train left here at S:3O At Meriden halt was made on account of the number of special trains ahead. This made the train half hour later at Hartford than was expected. They received many honors in Hartford.

Insects and EInwers
TGrant AIlep. fin the Gent1enoan,s Maoaz;,

lCirant AlIen in the Gentleman's Magszine.l
 If, when insects were first beginning to visit flowers. there was any special difference by which the pollen-bearing parts could be easily distinguished from the other organs of the plant, we may be sure that it would be seized upon by the insects as a guide to the existence of food, and would so be further strengthened and developed in all future plants of the same species. Now, we have reason to believe that just such primitive difference does exist between flowers end leaves or stems, and that difference is one of color. Even if we look at the catkins and grass-blossoms of our own day, we see that they differ slightly in hus from the foliage of their respective plants But it seems not i'm. probable that color may have appeared much more frequently and abundantly in primitive wind-fertilized flowers than in those of our own epoch, because wipd-fertilized flowers are only injured by the visits of insects which would be attracted by bright color, and hence natural selection would tend to keep down the development of brilliant tints in them, as soon as these had become the recognized guides of the insect eye. In other words, as flowers have now split up, functionally speaking, into two great groups, the wind fertilized and the insect-fertilized, any primi. i've tenoency toward the production Of bright leaves around the floral organs will have been steadily repressed in the one group and steadily encouraged in the other. Did such primitive tendency ever exist? In all probability, yes. The green parts sf plants contain the special coloring matter known as chlorophyil, which is essential to their action in deoxidizing the carbonic acid of the at mosphere. But wherever fresh energies are being put forth, the reverse process of oxida- tion is going on; and in this rev1rse process the most brilliant and beautiful colors make their appearance. We are all familiar with these colors in autumn leaves; and we may also observe them very conspicuously in all young shoots or growing branches, especially in the opening buds of spring, the blanched heads of rhubarb or seakale, and the long sprays of sprouting potato, grown in dark cellar. Now, the neighborhood of the floral organs is just such place where energies are being used up and where color is therefore likely to appear. MT. Sorby has shown that the pigment in petals is often exactly the same as that in the very young red and yell low leaves of early spring, and the crimson foliage of autumn, in the same plant It would be impossible to go fully here into the evidence which might be offered on this head; an immense mass of facts shows us that color is always tending to appear in the leaves which immediately surround the floral organs, and that this tendency has been strengthened by Insect selection of the most conspicuous blossoms, until it has finally re- suited in the brilliant corollas of such flowers as those which we now cultivate in our modern gardens. @

EnO's CaSe-A Variety of Rumors for
 Everybody to Choose From.
 QUEBEC, June 1S.-There are numerous ru- mers in circulation in regard to Eno's extra dition. The latest is that the present pro- ceedings have been abandoned and a new ex- tradition warrant taken out. Another move said to be under consideration is to take the case to Montreal. All parties are very reti- cent with regard to what is being done. The Attorney General has been notified by the British minister at Washington that official extradition papers had been forwarded. None of the witnesses have arrived and it looks as thohgh the parties would not be ready to proceed with the case tomorrow. Detective Cornish Of the United States is said to be on his way here with warrant signed by President Arthur asking Bno's extrsdltion on the charge of forgery.

 Consideration of the Utah bill was resum- ed at o'clock. MT. Vest offered an amend ment to the first section, providing that hus- bands or wives shall not be permitted to tes- tify to any confidential statement or commu- ntcation made to each other during the existence of the marriage relation; adopted.
 Mr. Vest spoke against the power given by the fifth section to seize necessary papers by proper warrant. He said he was astonished that 8 Senator from Massachusetts should consent to such 6 violation of constitutional liberty. But this was not the question. If the tSe1ators had made up their minds to vote for the bill, ne matter how outrageous it's provisions were, he moved to amend by adding the words, Providing that noth- ing herein shall be held to authorize the search of private house or seizure of pri vate papers for the purpose of securing proof of any marriage" The amendment was rejected.
 new section was agreed upon incorpors- ting the New York dover law in the bill.
 With these changes the bill passed by 33 yeas. 15 nays. Messrs, Beck, Colquitt, Fair. Garland, Jackson of Florida, Pugh, Voor- hees and McPherson voted in the affirmative with the Republicans.
