in the western sky, with banks of
crimson and gold here and there; the
misty haze of the Indian summer
seemed ablazo with the departing
glory of the sunlight, and nccks of
light and shadow fell upon the wood
lands and the prairies, and there
seemed coronet as Of FURNISHED gold
all about the brow Of the city, whose
turret stones and steeples were gleam-

From the main building the visitor
proceeds on around the circle to
THE GRAND STAND,
which is Il neat building with seat
ing capacity Of 5000, and from
which every inch of the
beautiful and splendid race
course is visible. In fact, the en-
tire track is visible all the way around
from the level of the ground. There
are in race horses, trotters and PAGERS,
horses for exhibition and cattle all of
800 head Of stock on the grounds now
and by Monday there will be nearly, if
not quite, as many more. There is not
an animal on the ground and none will
be allowed there which is not either
entered for exhibition, in the races or
in the trotting and pacing contests
This is fact the management desires
the public to fully understand. On
the north and east are the
STOCK STABLES,
of which there are 250 for cattle, and
on the south and west are the racing
or horse stables, Of which there are
$50 already built and others being
built The grounds are splendidly |

IF a large force pump which distrib-
ltes through all the buildings and
through the stable troughs and all
around the outside the race course
small hydrants being located every 20

ng is large wooden tank holding 10
100 gallons which is kept full all the

Der from upper Louisiana, who did
not know a sugar cane from a wild
cane, who conld not distinguish a
grain OF rice from IL pumpkin seed :

Mr.. Gay spoke probably without

have known that an orator is gene

upon subjects of which he knows
nothing, than others are upon ques
tons that they have made the

On second thought Mr.. Gay will
probably comprehend this fact and
apologize to his colleague from

MODERN KING.

tifnl Washita. the voters, in their
wisdom, have elected a man to rep
resent them in Congress. This was,
according to all the rules Of Gun
ter, correct, bat when they sent a
man to Congress to represent every
body else, they innocently imposed
a contract upon their Representa-
tive, that was IL little too heavy to
be borne. 1t is a consolation how
ever, to know that their honorable
member of Congress is not aware
OF the stupldlty-or rather the stu
righteousness OF the contract, that
lie is carrying over the back of his
neck, a la mode Chinese.
Bowling to the name of King, the
Hon. gentleman imagines his rank
and position to be similar to his re
gal cognomen.
The other day the committee on
the revision OF the tariff, gave au
dience to representatives of the su
gar and rice interests, in order that
they might express their opinions
and expound their views, upon this
question, all important, to them
selves and their constituents.
In this delegation were Senators
EnsliS, and Gibson. Representa-
tives Gay, st. Martin. Hahn, and
Irion, and u number of able and in
telligent sugar and rice growers,
all of whom knew practically the
wants and needs of sugar and rice
planters. But the distinguished
Representative from the Washita
country, whose constituents do not
grow Il stalk of sugar cane or a
grain of rice, attended the said con
sultatiOn aud was the first one to
jump up and deliver what he doubt
less imagined was a learned and
eloquent exposition Of the two great
agricultural interests in question.
For "a minutes the honorable gen
tleman dilated upon sugar cane, in
an effort to explain to the commit
tee the difference between sugar
cane of lower Louisiana, aud wild
cane that grows spontaneously up
on the banks Of tie Washita. and
which is now used principally for
fishing rods, and emblems of author
ity by school teachers, and in which
his constituents formerly hunted
the bear and the wolf. but who O
tent themselves now with an occa
sional molly cotton tail or a a
coon, chased from their lairs in the
dense thickets. For % minutes he
expounded the rice question, try
ing to beat into the heads of the
committee that the rice grown on
the Lafourche and the lower Missis
sippi was quite a different vegeta
BILE from the cookie burr that grows
in upper Louisiana, and ornaments
the fleece of tho sheep and the
names and tails of the horses of his
constituents.
The member from Washita was
eloquent ,:profound, intense, terrific.
The Senators, Representatives
and planters from the sugar and
rice districts set with eyes Open.
mouths distended, in awe and as
constituent at the logic of this new
champion of their peculiar interests.
Never had they heard the great
question presented in such a unique
manner IN all their own lives.
As an evidence of the profundity
of the logic Of the learned Washita
Representative, Mr.. Morrison, chair
man of the committee Immediately
turned to the delegation and said:
Snow you sugar men can have a
chance"

grave of this brilliant genius that
is now shining so brightly, and
whose departure would leave the
world in darkness, and gloom.
~--
The death of Major Henry St.
Paul recalls a story that Il friend
used to relate in bellum times. St.
Paul was Il man of infinite wit and
an interminaLle jester. So much
was he under the control Of a spirit
Of fun and amusement, that he SUI
fered no occasion to pass without
that faculty IF his mind grasping
and using it.
st. Paul was d State Senator
when Mouton was Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and, of course, presiding off
Ger of the Senate.
In the Senate also was Mr., Hy
ans whose forte was to speak on
one or both sides of every question
that came before that body.
The Lieutenant Governor, had
called upon one or another of the
Senators to occupy his chair tenn
porarily, until st. Paul discovered
that he was the only Senator who
had not been honored with a re
quest of the Lieutenant Governor
to occupy that position, aud, feel
ing sensitive about it, one day ad
dressed the Governor.
elbow is it, Governor, that l am
never asked to occupy your chair.
l believe that l am the only Sena
tor whom you have not called upon"
The Lieutenant Governor answer
ed:
"Well, st. Paul, the fact is, l
have never called upon you to pre-
side because l was certain that
you would commit some folly"
"Well, try me once, and I will
show you with what dignity l can
preside"
Gall right l will do So"
The next day, Mouton, invited
st. Paul to preside, for a time.
Some question was under dis Gus
sion that drew forth strains Of clio
quence from Senators. Hyams,
was seated quietly at his desk, but
said nothing.
Finally some Senator arose and
offered some resolution of no mo
ment, and which generally would
have passed without objection.
The motion was seconded, but
st. Paul remained silent as a tomb.
The Senator having his ire arous
ed, Jumped up and demanded why
the chair had paid no attention to
his motion. st. Paul replied
"H yams has not spoken yet"
when that Senator jumped up, de
handed to know what was going
on, crying | object, / object. And
thus st: Paul proved his ability to
preside over the Senate with digni
ty aud decorum.

Improvement Of the Yellowstone.

GLEND1vE, Mont, April 22.-Capt.
Quinn, the oflicerin charge ofthe improve
menfs on the 2 Yellowstone and Missouri
rivers, has finished his inspection of the
frst-named river as regards the work done
last, year. The captain is outspoken in IA
voring the building Of q dredge and tow
boat for use on the river, saying that they
are necessity. The river and harbor APP
preparation bill gives the Yellowstone $25,
900, but this will be insufficient to do JUS
tice to the works already initiated and
build the boats. Delegate Toole has hopes
of procuring an appropriation of $4,000
for building the necessary boats to be used
on the rivers as asked for by Capt. Quinn
and recommended by the Northwestern
waterways convention at St. Paul last fall.

unterview With J. .. Fill.

While in St. Paul, en- route east, Mr..
w. G. Conrad met Mr.. J, J. Hill, the little
railroad giant Of the northwest. Mr.. Hill
was unusually communicative and laid
bare some of his plans of railroad con-
quest ia the northwest, stating, among
other things, that he would extend his
road into northern Montana as rapidly as
possible and that he expected to make de-
cided progress within the next year. He
even went so far as to mark out the gen.
eral route, which is to be up the Missouri
and Milk river valleys, via Fort Assina-
boine and Fort Benton. He will cross
the Missouri at or near the mouth of the
Shonkin and proceed up that valley to the
Sag, and thence by Highwood and Belt
creeks to Great Falls, although the build
ing on this part of the line will probably
progress from west to east-extending the
Montana Central. Mr.. Hill seems to have
the whole thing down pat and has marked
out the best and easiest possible route.
