- wild and Romaatic Country Inhabits<
b. the Grow Indians.
The country along the Yellowstone
Tor the first hundred miles is on one
side q beautiful level plain, clothed
with fine buffalo grass, great, grand
pasture for its numerous herbivorous
inhabitants, while on the other side
rugged hills and towering peaks meet
the eye. presenting the aspect of com.
plete sterility. Beyond is the region
of the Big Horn River, Q fine large
stream of clear water meandering
along the base of the mountains, well
stocked with various kinds of fish.
1t would require the pen and pencil
of an artist to depict the wild and
wondrous beauty of the scenery along
this beautiful stream. Affair in the dis.
lance can be seen the peaks Of the
Rocky Mountain range, with their
snow-capped SUBMITS appearing in the
clouds, while all sroun4 lie the Bad
Lands, called by the French traders
Les AauUaise Terres, Enthusiastically
towers and crumbling pyramids; and
it requires but little imagination to
suppose oneself in some grand old de-
caying city of the dead. The traveller
wanders at the base through labyrinth.
ian passages. while from above Gothic
castles, with towers and bastions and
solid walls, frown down on him in
gloomy grandeur.
Here he will see many place where
the Crows and the Blackfeet have met
in deadly strife. for scarcely a month
passed previous to the treaty between
these two nations that some bloody
contest did not occur.
When you near the foot of the noun
tains. the scenery is wonderfully grand
and imposing.
In early times the traveller would
often find himself solitary and alone
on some lofty butte or towering mound,
viewing that lonely region clothed in
Undesirable magnificence and gran
deur. At every glance he saw large
herds of buffalo, elk, deer, antelope,
and often the grizzly bear. To this
day no country seems more adapted to
the wild Indian than this.
There is still game in abundance for
his subsistence, grass for animals, and
wood enough for his fuel; and the red
man asks for nothing more. But from
its very nature, the hand of civilization
will leave it undisturbed forever.
The buffalo, now so scarce, is some
times captured by the Crows, and
throughout their entire country there
is variety of game. Wild fruits are
very abundant, and many kinds of
roots, which supply them with all the
vegetable food their wants require, are
also found in plenty. Service berries.
cherries, plums, currants and gooseber-
ries are found in greatest abundance
on the forks of the Yellowstone.
The Crows have ever been in the
highest degree nomadic, and their ne
cessities do not require them to till the
ground.-GOldef Ddus

A SMART DOG.

Canine Who Kept an Eye on the Num-
Der of His Masters Cows.
Old Fetch was shepherd dog and
lived in the Highlands of the Hudson.
His master kept nearly dozen COWS,
and they ranged at will among the
hills during the day. When the sun
was low in the west his master would
say to the dog: bring the COWS
home;" and il was because the dog
did this task so well that he was called
Fetch.
One sultry day he departed as usual
upon his evening task. From scat
tered, shady and grassy hooks, he at
last gathered all the cattle into the
mountain road leading to the distant
barn-yard.
A part of the road ran through
low, moist spot bordered by a thicket
of black alder, and into this one of the
cows pushed her way and stood quiet
ly. The others passed on, followed
some distance in the rear by Fetch.
AS the cows approached the barn
yard gate he quickened his pace and
hurried forward as if to say: I'm
here, attending to business But his
complacency was disturbed as the
COWS filed through the gate. He
whined little, and grow1ed little,
attracting his masters attention. Then
he went to the high fence surrounding
the yard, and standing on his hind feet
peered between two Of the rails. After
looking at the herd carefully for a
time he started off down the road again
at full run. His master now observed
than one of the COWS was missing, and
he sat down on a rock to see what Fetch
was going to do about it. Before very
long he heard the furious tinkling of a
bell, and soon Fetch appeared bring
ing in the perverse cow at rapid pace,
fastening her on by frequently leaping
up and catching her ear in his teeth.
The gate was again thrown open and
the cow, shaking her head from the
pain of the dogs rough reminders, was
led through it in way that she did
not soon forget. Fetch then lay down
quietly to cool off in time for supper.

The Bitter Reco1lections Connected with
Colonel Stuart,s Marriage.


The Bitter Recol1ections Connected with
Colonel Stuart's Marriage.
The following description of an
amusing bit of experience is given in
"Reminiscences of a Soldier. A din
ner-party was given to Colonel Stuart,
just before his marriage, by some
bachelor friends. In the hotel where
the young men assembled, number
of clergymen of the Presbytery of
Aberdeen, then in session in the city,
were staying. Bent upon having a
good time, the young fellows irrev-
erently played what was termed the
''cayenne trick" upon some of the
worthy ministers. Colonel Stuart had
sent to London for a new suit of
clothes in which to be married. He
wore the suit on this evening, that he
might do honor to his friends. We let
him tell the rest of the story:
After the dinner [ left Aberdeen and
went to England, to be married. My
father-in-law was so well known in the
town in which he lived that the roads
to the church were crowded on the day
of the ceremony, and the church itself
was crammed. / took my place with
my intended bride by the liar, and
the ceremony proceeded. The clergy
man had got about half through, when,
having occasion to use my pocket
handkerchief, | put my hand into my
pocket, pulled it out and applied it to
my nose. You can judge what my
sensations were when [ felt my eyes
full Of cayenne pepper, the irritation
of which was almost ntolerable!
On the night of the dinner at Aber-
deem / had placed the paper of cayenne,
with which we had committed the
atrocities on TIE reverend gentleman.
into the pocket of my dress-coat, and
had thought no more about it. On the
morning of my marriage, put clean
silk handkerchief in that pocket, not
remembering what l had placed there
before. The cayenne had got loose
from the paper; and, consequently,
when applied the handkerchief to my
nose the miserable stuff flew into my
eyes, and for few moments caused
most excruciating torments. Water
ran down my cheeks in streams, and [
dared not apply the handkerchief
again, for fear of getting another dose.
Meantime, the whole audience was
staring at me, and heard whispers:
Poor young man, how affected he
is!'' and other sympathetic remarks to
the same effect
[ thought the ceremony would never
be over, and when it was finished, the
clergyman who married me came up,
and, shaking my hand, said:
''My young friend, am sorry to see
you so affected on this joyous occa-
sion."
Forgetting every thing except my
agony, replied affected? not bitl
it's the cayenne pepper that l had in
my pocket!'
may as well add, that I suffered for
two or three days in way can not
describe, leaving some bitter recollec-
tons connected with the happiest day
of my life, and as punishment, l sup
pose, for our trick upon the unoffend-
ing clergymen.-Y Youths Companion.
