of Ignite coal which runs through the
butteS and hills in solid veins from four to
ten feet thick. This Ignite was probably
ignited by fires that sometimes prevailed
over the plains, set by Indians, and the
coal being in continuous veins, has been
burning, no doubt, uninterruptedly beneath
the surface for years. Perhaps long ago
dense forests existed in these Bad Lands,
which accounts for the extensive beds of
Ignite found here. There are certainly
evidences of primeval growth in the end

Winser speaks of fine specimens of fossil

heat of the burning Ignite into brilliant
scarlet, but retaining their reticulationS

The variOvs round topped mounds made
up OF ink black clay, argillaceOuS, lime

tainted with alkili-grows numerous and
luXuriant grasses (SOme thirty-three varie-
ties have been classifed), and is veritable
paradise for stOek-raising and sheep-grow-
ing. Cattlemen were not long in finding
out the worth of the Bad Lands as a graz
ing region. Soon after the conquest of
Sitting Bull and the opening up of the
country to the whites, it began to dawn ON
the minds of stock men that a section once
sought by the buffalo as favOrite stamp
ing ground must be good pasture fields for
herds of cattle and sheep.
The Marquis de MoreS, young and en-
terpriSing French nobleman, was the first to
seize the opportunity by turning loose thou
sands of cattle and sheep among the multi
tude of butteS bordering the Little Mis-
souri,, and his example and success has
caused many other wise and learned stock
men to do likewise. The cattle shifting

1t IS great pity that the government has
never taken steps to preserve this region of
natural wonders from destruction.

been chartered by Boston parties during the
past season. The meeting adjourned for one
week.
Both the Emita and Cadet will be run in
the harbor next year, and both are in excel

reprinted in the spring. If the steamers of
the Portland Steam Packet Company make
day trips during the summer, it is probable
that they will land at Cushing's Island going
both to and from Boston. wharf at Cape
Cottage is also proposed, and if built, as
seems probable, regular trips will be made
to it by the company's boats. This will be a
convenience which will be appreciated both
by the residents and summer visitors ON the

him the deputy marshal inquired of his wife
if she knew what was keeping her husband
when she informed him that perhaps he
could not get back, as the boat might have
sprung aleak, for he had to 60 into New
Brunswick to milk, as the cows were at pas
