The Excursion.


At $50 the steamer, Belle of Minnetonka. left
Minnetonka Beach with as jolly a load of excur-
sonists as ever trod her decks. The Fort Smell
ling band accompanied the excursionists, and,
by taking it time about with some of the sold
vets, >" who never let an opportunity pass to sing
some fayorite old melody-managed to keep the
occasion pretty well supplied with music.
The principal feature of the excursion was
boat regatta from Harrington's Point Eight
cat-rigged and three sloop rugged vessels entered
the race. The starting point was from buoy
just off Harrington's Point The race was over
three mile course and return, with
two turns, making q six mile run. The boats all
got off in good shape. 1t evident from the
start the race would be between the sloops Mary
Lee and Pearl, the former owned by Mr.. Harden
burg and the latter by Mr.. Chas. Reeves. The
Mary Lee kept the lead in fine style the entire
course but if the Pearl could have had fourth
of q mile more before making the second turn,
she would have passed the Mary Lee and taken
the race. The jib of the Pearl was not managed
right on the home stretch, and there is where
she lost the race OF the cat-rigged boats the
Ida, owned by Mr.. Bracket, came in ahead. The
time of the Mary Lee was one hour and three
minutes, beating the Pearl by forty seconds. The
Pearl was formerly owned by Tom Thumb and has
been entered in many regattas, and suffered her
first defeat yesterday, although according to the
rules of the Atlantic Yacht club she did beat the
Mary Lee by several seconds. The Mary Lee,
however, would not enter under the rules of that
club, and being some two feet longer than the
Pearl and az FAST probably, the whole race lay in
the management of the boats. The judges were
Gen. Reeves and Messrs. McMarin and Diamond.
After the regatta the steamer again started on
her trip, and after touching at two three points
rounded up at Minnetonka Beach at 80.
NOTES.
There will be an excursion party Of some fifty
or sixty persons leave Minnetonka Beach to-
| night at II O'Clock for Devils Lake. Some 200
tents have been provided for the eXcursionsts
and they will camp out near that delightful lake
and take their own time in returning, though the
greater part will return in time to take the Mon
day trains for home. Gems. Sherman and Baker
will be with the party. Col. Donan returned
from Saratoga to accompany the excursion as a
guide and general interpreter, he probably
knows more of that country than any else.
The s'soap man. did thriving business on
the beach for a short time yesterday. He
claimed to be selling soap, and after he had
drawn crowd he rolled several five dollar bills
up with the soap. He then offered the soap for
sale at a dollar bar. Several parties got
'soaped'' before he stopped his game.
Quite little merriment was caused by the old
game of .huntng the Duck at Minnetonka
beach yesterday evening. The game consists of
turning duck loose on the lake and then the
bathers trying to catch 1t by diving from row
boats.
Col. Donan said everybody on the grounds
yesterday was general, colonel or captain.

The Blaineites aver that the Plumed
Knight is not respondent as has been re-
ported, but that he is as vivacious and
'magentic" as ever. That he has unlimited
cheek in lying himself out of tight places,
must be admitted. He developed his PROV
ess in this direction when he stood up in the
House Of Representatives, and with unparal-
leled audacity waved the Mulligan lettera
aloftwhich he had begged of Mulligan on his
knees, for the sake of his family, and finally
stole them, pretending to read them, omit
ting some, and changing others to hide the
colossal act of official corruption, of which
he had been guilty IS Speaker of the House.
This daring act of brsvado served to post
pone, but only postpone the full revelation
of his corrupt capabilities and transactions.

Curiosity.
Caldwell Journal


Mr.. J. J. Snow brought a curiosity to
this Office Saturday that would be a
grand study for some scientific gentle
man of the prehistoric.
It is plaster or clay cast of a head
and neck resembling a human head of
some low grade of family, or an ape.
Some parts of the head are human and
others are Of the ape family. The head
is about two inches in diameter; hair
cropped; ears prominent, standing out
well from the head; forehead broad, flat
and receding; neck well proportional to
the head.
The material that seems to have been
used in the construction of this piece of
statuary, is clay with small grains in it
resembling sand. It appears to have
been baked, as a slight glaze is visible
on the more prominent parts of the
face.
This relic of some lost race, was found
in a load of sand taken from the bottom
of a thirty-fve foot we'll, by Link Wilson
on his farm five miles due west of town.
The workmanship of this piece of clay
is of a. better class than any ever yet
found eminating from the hands of any
of the Indians who have inhabited this
part of the globe in later years.
Some gentleman with an inQuisitive
turn of mind should see this ching" and
give the public the benefit of his opinion
on it. Mr.. Snow has it in his possession,
and will keep it until he can send it to
some museum or historical society.

A TERRIBLE REVENGE.

1t was on the eve of the battle of Sol
ferinO. The French regiments, which
had arrived from Milan during the dav.
by long and dusty roads, under a broil-
ing sun, exhausted by fatigue, were en-
camped on an immense plain, shut in by
a chain of hills, on which lowered the
white houses OF the town. Lightning,
playing among the leaden-cOloredc clouds,
illumined at intervals with lurid light
the battle field of the morrow. Nothing
else lit up the camp. No fires were al
lowed, as a measure of prudence.
All were not asleep, however. Besides
the OutpOsts and pickets, many in camp
were wide awake. Here and there
groups of men, lying on the grass around
their tents, conversed in low tone and
discussed the probable issue of the COM
ing battle.
In the middle of small group of of
fcers who talked over the chances of the
morrow, was Col. Eugene de Valmont,
who commanded a regiment of light
dragons. He had the we'll earned rep
utation of being one of the most SPLEEN
did officers in his own branch of the
service. Although strict disciplinarian,
he was beloved in the regiment by Off
GERS and men alike, and deservedly so.
Col. de Valmont appeared to pay but
little attention to what was said. He
seemed in proud reverie, as he bit,
rather than smoked, a half consumed
cigar. Turning suddenly to his surgeon
major, a veteran with we'll bronzed face,
he said:
"Brisac, do you believe in PRESENT.
ments?"
at depends, Colonel. One may have
them, no doubt; but to admit that they
are ever realized is quite another mat
ter"
"You look upon them as valueless,
and devoid of any prophetic impor-
tance?"
'Quite So"
"Ah, it is true, as is said, that all you
doctors are more or less materialists."
After pause he added: "You are right,
perhaps, and so much the better. There
are some thoughts which should be ban
ished on the eve of day like tomorrow
promises to be-"
So saying, he got up and added: 81
shall turn in and get some rest and adj
wise you to do the same. In few hours
we shall need all the strength we can
command"
One by one the group broke off and
presently there was left only three Off
cers-a major, captain, and sub-lieu-
tenant.
"What did the Colonel mean by pre-
sentiments ?" asked the younger of them.
eve know he has no fear about tomor-
row yet his manner and his last words,
to say the least, are not reassuring."
"Had you been long in the regiment,
Young fellow" replied the major, you
would know that the Colonel periodically
Gets 'the blues but we take no notice of
them. They soon pass, and he becomes
himself again"
"But what is the cause of his recurring
depression?"
1.-THE cause p" said. the captain. why

sion that the new tomb was built and
the old crypt in the sidehill left to crum-
BILE. The flower garden, with its trim
walks bordered with box, was his de-
light, although he, wouldhardly recog-
niez it now, with the large conservatory
overshadoWing it. The Immense yard
back of the house, surrounded with its
high brick wall, the trees hanging over
it, the old wooden cabins for the house
servants, with the old mansion in the
centre, need only troop of negro child
rem and one or two old aunties to make
one forget all that has happened and be
lieve that behind the opening door he
may almost expect to see George Wash
ington, wrapped about in the clothes ike
those hung up in the glass cases inside
the house. In the Spring and Fall scores
of WashingtOnians drive their teams In
the Alexandria ferry, and then go over
the old country road between that old
burgh and Mount Vernon. There Is moth
ing especially attractive about it, save
the fragrance which hangs about any
road through woods and shaded all the
way. Yet, you can not drive its length
without meeting carriages full of strang-
ers, who are led by an attraction TO visit
the corners which are associated with
Washington's home life, and if the Gov
eminent, instead of building the Wash
ington monument, had bought Mount
Vernon and dedicated it for the use of
the people for all time, think the
investment would have been fully as
well appreciated.

hard mass, in others quite free. The
color is often obtained by washing. 1t
bears strong resemblance to the dry
placers of New Mexico. Most of the
gold IS in combination, but the combi-
nation is not uniformly chemical. The
best opinion now is that the placers will
prove only Of secondary importance as
compared with the lodes sure to be de-
veloped. The district is very large and
the rock volcanic, all charged with
minineral. The district is certainly
Of great possibilities. Several as
says have been made, giving an
average of forty ounces of gold, with a
trace of silver. Some have run much
higher. Although Canon City is a few
miles nearer than this city, Pueblo's sit
uation is such that it will command the
trade of the new mining camp. The
citizens have already met and taken
steps to establish stage and freight line
from this point, and excellent facilities
are afforded those bound for the camp
even now. There seems to be no ques-
ton as to the genuineness of the ind
and Coloradoans are eagerly taking the
first opportunity to get into the new
Ophir. The snow has almost entirely
disappeared, and prospecting is going on
night and day.

A LOST FRIEND.
BY JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.

Ny friend he was my friend from all the rest
With childlike faith he Oped to me his breast
No door was locked on altar, grave or grief;
No weakness yelled, concealed no disbelief;
The hope, the sorrow and the wrong were bare,
And ah, the shadow only showed the fair.
gave him love for love but deep within
magnitied each frailty into sin;
Each hilltopped foiOle in the sunset gloWed,
Obscuring wales where rivered virtues flowed,
ReprOOf because reprOach, till common grew
The captiOus word at every fault I knew.
he smiled upon the censorship, and bore
With patient love the touch that wounded sore
Until at length, so had my blindness grown,
He knew judged him by his faults alone.
Alone of all men, who knew him best,
Refused the gold, to take the drOSs for test
Cold strangers hOnOred for the worth they saw;
His friend forgot the diamond in the flaw.
At last it came-the day he stood apart,
When from my eyes he proudly yelled his heart
When carping judgment and uncertain word
stern resentment in his bosom stirred
When in his face l read what had been,
And with his vision saw what he had seen.
Too late too late o, could he then have known
When his love died, and mine had perfect grown
That when the veil was drawn abased, chastiset
The censor Stood the lost one truly priced.
Too late we learn-a man must hold his friend
Unjudged, accepted, trusted to the end.

THE FUNERAL OF LINCOLN.
BY HENRY B. HURST ,

The ground is white with apple blooms,
AS though fragrant snow Lay there,
And from the meadows breezy bOsomS,
The blackbirds music floods the air;
But he who heard the robin whistle,
Last Spring, among the apples bloom,
The LiberatOr, Father, Savior
The Martyr passes TO the tomb.
Through the long avenues of cities,
Through the cOmmingling peoples hum,
Marshalled by signs and sobS and pities,
The sacred relics onward come;
The very heavens themselves are weeping,
While tears fill every earthly eye,
AS mournfully the cortege, sweeping
To solemn dlrges, passes by,
Toll slowly, bells, toll very slowly
Murmer in means a nations woe!
Boom, minute gunS-mOSt melancholy
Heavens thunder echoed from below.
Close every door, shut every easement
Drape every banners fold with black;
Mourn, silent streets, from roof to basement
He Journeys hence who comes not back!
Through the long cycles of the ages,
Searching the catacOmbs of Time,
BlaZoned IN gold In history pages.
No other name stands more sublime.
And since the awful crucidxion,
And since the damned deed of Cain,
No record lives of such affection
None greater numbered with the slain.
The ground is white with apple blossoms,
AS though fragrant snow lay there;
And from the meadows breezy blossoms,
The blackbirds music fills the air;
But he who heard the robin whistle,
Last Spring, among the apples bloom,
The Liberator, Father, Savior
The Martyr passes to the tomb

Special Dispatch to the Commonwealth.

Pueblo, Col, April 22.-Dispatches
from LeadviIIe say that seven hundred
men have left that city for the new gold
fields of Mount Pisgah, during the last
two days. Hundreds have gone from
Pueblo, and other parts of the State.
Hundreds of claims have been started
in the new district, which is now known
as Golden Valley. The Mount Pisgah
mines are not far distant from Pixies
Peak, and promise to be as famous as
old Pike himself, and as well known as
the mountain of like name across the
waters. Mount Pisgah is forty miles
directly northwest of Pueblo. But little
prospecting had ever been done there
The present discoveries were made
public less than week ago and there
are now some 1900 people in camp.
Mining men are generally of the opinion
that this viii prove a valuable discovery,
many considering it the superior of the
great carbonate camp.
The Denver Tribune says of Mount
Pisgah: ''This is not strictly placer
ground, it is gold bearing gravel in
gulches, IN some places cemented into

Hints and Items Concerning the Farmer
and His Family.

and His Family.
Very early turnips can be raised on
new land or well broken clover sod.
They are easily sent to market and bring
a good price. The crop can be got rid of
in time for late potatoes. A little super
phosphate will persuade the turnips to
be crisp and get out of the way early,
and do no harm to the potatoes.
Maine Farmer: A team takes the saw
dust to the stable in town, and gets three
dollars a cord for it. The farmers team,
after it has been favored slightly with
the odors of the stable, pays four dollars
a cord for the privilege of hauling it
back and calling it stable manure. Does
he allow any leaks from his own stable
while after that load of strained saw
dust?

If cistern water has acquired a foul
odor, says DIR. Kedzie, in the New York
Tribune, it may be deodorized by some
oxidizing agents, such as chloride of soda,
or Dabarraque's chlorinated soda. This
can be found at any good druggists, put
up in quart bottles for use. To get the
best results the material should be
poured into the bottom of the cistern.
using for this purpose a gaspipe reaching
to the bottom. Two bottles, costing
about twenty-five cents each, will clean

ture. You can at least experiment on q
small scale. For instance, we know a

A GOOD FRIDAY HYMN.

I gaze upon the thorn-crOwned brow
see the pierced hands;
It seems in vain, I cannot yield
The love such love demands.
Thou givest to my weary soul
Far more than angels food,
The body offered for my sake.
Thine own most precious blood.
Thyself in me, and in thee,
A mystery divine,
That so the fire of thy dear love
May kindle warmth in mine.
Yet even thus my heart is cold,
And holds aloOf from thee;
I have the wish but not the will
To love thee fervently.
Thou dOst not queneh the smoking fax
will not then despair;
Thou knOWest all my heart, and thou,
Will fan the embers there,
Until they rise, an upward flame
OF heavenly perfect love,
And in that light see thy face
And worship thee above.

Another Cyclone Story.

Atlanta CONSTITUTION.
Senator Vaudeville said to me yester-
day: "The people in Carroll and adioin-
ing counties are digging cyclone pits with
something like system. The time will
come when no home in that section will
be without one" Some one remarked
that many religious people refused to
take refuge in pits, quoting a lady who
said: l will trust IN the Lord, and not
flee before his will" "That sort of faith"
replied her husband; "will cover every
thing except cyclone"
"And yet" said Senator Vaudeville,
know of case where the wife re-
fused to go into the cellar when the cy-
clone was coming, saying that if the Lord
intended her to die she would die wheth-
er she was in the cellar or in the garnet.
Her husband, standing by her, while he
did not share her faith, gathered the
children and awaited the shock. The
house was swept away, but none of the
family hurt, except a small wound on
the side of the wife's face. On returning
so the site Of the house they found the
cellar full Of immense jagged timbers."
