A We'll Known Journalist, "The Hose oi

known Of American journalists. He is 40
years Of age, with bald, Shakespearean
head, but with the active gait Of man OF

accident in 1860. He happened to be in
Massachusetts, during the great strike of the
shoemakers. He obtained the full particu-
lars and wrote letter to The Times. The
letter was published and signed Howard" y"
The Times asked him TO stay and write let
ters, and he remained in Massachusetts five
weeks He was then placed upon the staff
of the paper and made great reputation by
his letters in relation to the Sprague- Paddle

of his bitter articles against Sprague.
He was at the conventions that nominated

and reported them for The Times. When

accompanied the young man for 16 weeks,

gave him position in journalism which he
has never lost. He accompanied Abraham
Lincoln to his Inauguration, and had quite
an exciting experience. In 1866 Mr.. Howard
became managing editor of The Brooklyn

NO. 3S. DEER LODGE MONTANA MARCH 20, 1885,
FOR BABY'S SAKE.

Frederic T. Weatherly In CasseIl's Magazine
Do you remember that morn In May, deari
Birds were singing and fow'rs ablow;
Out In the woods we kept the day dear
Babys birthday year ago.
Chasing the butterflies DER the clover.
Plucking the flowers q crown to make;
For she was queen the whole world over,
All WIS happy-for Baby's sake.
But the sunshine passed and the dark clouds
drifted,
Fell a shadow our lives between,
And Baby's sweet little face was lifted,
Wondering what could that shadow mean.
"Father kiss mother" Baby faltered;
Oh, we wept till our hearts must break,
As the old, old love came back unaltered,
All forgiven-for Baby's sake.
Baby's gone to the golden weather,
Over the shining mountains brow;
Through the dark mists we walk together,
We have only each other now.
Put your hands into mine and pray dear,
Pray that soon the morn will break,
That God will hear us and show the way,
dear,
Safe into heaven-for Baby's sake.

A THRILLING ADVENTURE.
Mr.. John Junkin's Hand to Hand Conflict
with q Ferocious Fish

Mr.. John Junkin's Hand to Hand Conflict
with Ferocious Fish.
[Hoxa wottamie Herald
Our genial fellow-townsman, DR.. Gimp,
was called from his bed at 2 o'clock in the
morning to attend a patient suffering from a
most extraordinary complication. He found
Mr. John Judkin almost dead with glanders,
and at the same time horrible bitten and
maceratel. After relieving the inhuman
sufferings of his patient Dr. Gimp succeeded
in extracting from him the extraordinary
circumstances under which he narrowly es-
capped death.
Mr. Junkin was driving home in his gig
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after
spending the day gathering horse-chestnuts
in the hills His horse became very restive,
and, thinking the noble animal might be
thirsty, Mr.. Junkin sought out the Hoxa-
wottamie tarn, a deep pool surrounded by
gloomy cliffs. On one side only is there an
approach for wheeled vehicles, and when
Mr. Junkin drove down the shelving bank,
his beast snorting with delight at sight Of
the translucent water, the shades of evening
were already falling rapidly over the hills
When the horse had waded in until the
water came up to his belly and was eagerly
swilling the crystal fluid the animal suddenly
gave a snort Of mingled pain and terror and
plunged violently to one side. His uneasi-
ness increased and In a moment the agon-
lied beast gave vent to shrill shrek. By
this time he had plowed the water into foam,
on which dark red fleclis Of blood were seen,
had SO far slipped into the tarn as to be
in danger of drowning his master. Ever and
and anon a shadowdy mass would rise to the
surface and gleam of white teeth could be
seen. 1t was monstrous Dutch carp. Mr..
Junkin was thoroughly alarmed; sud-
denly the great fish swan to the
surface, and leaping over the dash
board bit a large fat piece out Of the
mans calf The taste of human blood
seemed to infuriate the gigantic fish,
which lost all control of itself and bit off one
of Mr. Junkin's fingers, lacerated his left leg
in eleven places, swallowed the heel Of his
right boot and gashed him in the side. The
wretched man defended himself as best be
could with his buggy whip, which he ap-
piled SO desperately that the carp roared
with rage All the while the horse stood
stock still, uttering low moans Of fear. Half
dead Mr. Junkin dragged himself TO shore,
leaving the gig and the now expiring steed
to the mercy OF the ferocious fish.
Hosea Perkins, Hans Apfelbaum, and
lingo Smith will drain the tarn soon
They will be well armed, and expect TO find
a beautiful gold ring in the carp's nest, into
which it is believed Mr.. Junkin inadvertently
drove. In consequence Of the appropriate
ness of his name, lingo Smith will enter the
water first

London bridge, had it been destroyed the
other day by the dynamite plotters, would
have left q gap in metropolitan arrange
ments not easily to be filed up. This, how.
ever, could not have been said Of the old
London bridge. The venerable structure
was 915 feet in length. The street that
covered it consisted, before the houses fell to
decay, Of lofty edifices, built with some at
tention to exterior regularity. 1t was
twenty feet wide, and the buildings on either
side about twenty six feet in depth. Across
the middle Of the street ran several lofty
arches, extending from side to side; the bot
tom part of each arch terminating at the
first story, and the upper part reaching near
the tops Of the houses They were designed
TO prevent the buildings from giving way;
and were therefore formed of strong timber
bolted in the corresponding woodwork of the
houses that fankei them. Thus the street
on the bridge had nothing to distinguish it
from any narrow street in the city but the
high arches described and three openings
guarded with iron rails, which afforded q
view Of the river.
But the appearance from the water, 1t is
stated, "baffied all description" and displayed
o strange example of curious deformity.
Nineteen unequilaterial arches of different
heights and breadths, with sterlings in
creased to q monstrous size by frequent re.
pairs, served to support q range Of houses Is
irregular as themselves; "the back part Of
which, broken by hanging and irregular
projections, offered a very disgusting OBJ
ject, while many Of the buildings overhung
the arches SO as to hide the upper part Of
them, and seemed to lean in such manner
"as to fill the beholder with equal amazement
and horror" Such was London bridge in

SALVATION ARMY MEETING.



Prentice Mulford's Boston Letterl
The other Sunday attended an afternoon
meeting Of the Salvation army at the Boyls-
ton museum Admission 10 cents. Ticket
sellers in the box and all the outside adjuncts
OF o variety performance. Within were two
stout policemen, and evidently an extra force
OF ushers to keep order. They were needed.
In the rear Of the large audience there was
apparently a delegation Of Boston'sroughest.
Fortune placed me in their very midst
The stage was full, the uniformed army
in front and their more numerous adherents
out Of uniform behind. The uniform of the
masculine portion Of the army is confined to
a red undershirt above black pantaloons,
and the ugliest apparel ever worn In any
cause. The women were attired In plain
black. with an occasional bit Of red trim
ming. Each bore a tamborine. One pri-
vate was ensconced behind q huge boss
drum ....- .
The wicked crowd in whose midst I found
myself jeered, scoffed and made very audi
bic comments on each member as he or she
prayed, sung or exhorted. The leader Of
the army would occasionally reprove
q scoffer near him or direct toward
him the attention Of the policemen. As
the house was packed it was difficult for the
officers to get at the direct offenders When
they spotted their man they quietly walked
him out. These turbulents seemed docile
enough in the oficers' hands, but when re-
proved or approached by either Of the two
army picked guards, who circulated among
the audience selling The War Cry, they were
rude and abusive. A long file Of well dressed
boys were walked out by the policeman.

were often driven out of the water by very

At last they hit upon little racket to get

half the buoy, who just at that juncture

scullion who worked in the chateau, her
father being the master of the house. She
received an education suited to her fathers
rank, though her natural inclinations led
her to associate with the friends Of her peas
ant mother. This combination resulted in q
woman who could one hour possess all the
tenderness Of sister Of charity and the next
be fiend incarnate. When she became q
woman she was smitten with the disease for
literature. was complimented by Victor Hugo
and this turned her head. Having to sup
port her mother she went to Paris and
opened q school for children. Here the

had planned the assassination of Ma

guard, and in the insurrect!on that followed
she wanted the commune to commission her

leaders she was sent to New Caledonia La.
