dark eyes and raven hair of the Castilianr
Mexican type is very attractive, I'd
truth is one sees more handsome wom@

this is that aristocratic danes and dam
sells seldom go upon the streets at 81.

men of the lower classes are too hard
worked and unkempt to retain beaug
beyond their early youth. In the exclu,

The lawyers, for they were three of

do no better and were too tired to go an

ACROSS THE SNOW

Across the snow and over the sand,
Where summer fingers with song and bloom,
The festooned oaks Of Florida stand
Enshrouded in odorous gloom;
Over the mountains, across the snow,
The blue sky smileth and bendeth low
Across the snow and over the sea.
Italy laughs, like child a: play;
Aad her rivers that sing necessarily
Are wooing the soul away
Over the sea and across the snow
Across the snow and over the tears.
The wonder-world Of our childhood lies,
And voices echo across tie years
With whispered question and low replies,
Over the graves and across the snow,
The children are calling who loved me 80.
Across the snow and beyond the doubt,
There lieth land so sweet and fair
That none who enter will turn about
To bring us tidings of loved ones there:
Over the doubt and across the snow
The dear ones beckon and shall go.

PRINCESS SALM.SALM.
"Reminiscences Of Agnes lie Ciercq.
a Dashing Adventures.

Next to the BaZaine mansion IS that
once occupied by the Princess Salm-
Salm. All middle-aged Washingtonians,
and especially veterans i'll the Army OF
the Potomac, will remember that dash
ing adventures. She was Agnes LIE
Clercq, a native of Baltimore, who, in
early youth was circus rider, danseuse
and star actress, by which accomplish
ments she accumulated quite fortune.
When the war broke out she was making
a great spread in Washington, though
rather ON the shady side of society, and
was prime favorite among the officers
of the Army of the Potomac. Finally
she married a genuine prince, Ger
man, by the name OF Felix Salm-
Salm, who had volunteered in the
Union Army. The prince did not am
cunt to much, but his wife was prin-
powerful influence he was made brig
adler General. Many will remember
her spirited style of beauty as she ap-
peared in the reviews of those days, al
WAYS dressed in semi-military garb,
and riding magnifcently upon a
plendid black stallion. When the
war was over and the army was be
ing recognized, she passed n winter i'll
Washington endeavoring to obtain for
her husband colonels commission.
But she was unsuccessful, for really the
prince was not worth q row of pins, and
there were too many would be colOnels,
most of them belonging to the noble
army of invincibles in peace and invisi-
bles in war. If the complete history of
Nine. Salm-Salu's intrigues in pursu-
ance of her purpose should be dragged
into print, many fair regulations would
suffer among the shining lights of the
United States capital. Afterwards she
came to Mexico, where the weak Max
imilian was easily won to her cause, and
socn Salm Salm WAS made Aide-de-
camp to the Emperor. For a time they
lived in clover, but when the crash came
-Salm barely escaped being execut-
ed with his master. Doubtless he
would have been but for the energetic
intercession of his wife, who went on
horseback, unattended, all the way from
Queretaro to San Luis Potosi, and on
her Bonded knees besought the Indian
President, Juarez, to spare her both the
Emperor and his aid. She could not
save the former, but the royal family
Of Austria were duly grateful. SO it was
to her advantage to return to Europe,
where the prince was appointed major
III the Grenadier Guards Of Prussia.
After he was killed at Gravelotte, his
irrepressible widow raised hospital
brigade, which really accomplished a
great deal of good during the war.
Afterwards she married Mr. Charles
Heneage. an attache of the British Lee
cation at Berlin. But Mmc. Agnes Lo
Clercq- Snln- Salm- Heneage did not find
the scion of John Bull so plant and
manageable as her gentle German hus-
band, and the pair soon separated. She
died about four years ago, having met
with more adventures than any woman
Of her day.

A Good Reason.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator STAN
forJ. of California, has written the fol-
lowing letter to constituent who asked
his reasons for voting for the contirma-

letter asking my reasons for voting for
Mr.. Lamar received. | voted for him

best men in the South for the

liberal-minded man of great deal of

he is thoroughly converted Unionist,
and do not think it wise to reject any
one on the ground alone that they were
engaged in the late rebellion, l think
that we want to be one people, political
ly and socially. Gen. Grant expressed

A special telegram from Laurel proved
pretty conclusively that ssme interested
parties have been to work on Special
Agent Downey and made him believe
the Rocky Fork road has been getting
out timber without consent fthe law. 1t
also proves that there is nothing in this
charge and that the Rocky Fork &
Cooke City is not to be caught mapping
at this hour of the day. No one denies
bat that the road has sufficient legal
talent to steer it clear from all pitfalls
such as this,and everyone ought to admit
that its management is possessed of
sufficient nerve and enterprise to warrant
the support of all whom are interested
in Montana enterprises inaugurated by
Montana men. The Rocky Fork & Cooke
City railroad will get there, it is only a

the Northern Pacific west Of Billings,
Ihls coal is pronounced by capable
judges to be the equal Of 1.-THE Rock Creek
coal. The specimens tested arc of course
from the surface, and if that elicits such
commendation, how much better than
at any depth of the stratum down to 1856
ieet which the vein is known to extend
in depth? For the lower down the
coal is mined, the better it is in quality.
The facility with which this coal can be
mined is another feature worth notice as
implying the cheapnessat which it can
be sold. This together with the short
cut to Gallatin, would bring the price of
fuel down to the lowest margin in Butte.
In the second place, it would bring the
Gallatin Valley within one-third of it's
present distance by rail and make Butte
the market for the products of that rich
agricultural SET tion.
In the third place. it would give the
merchants IN advantage over Helena in
supplying that portion of Montana lying
east of Gallatin. The towns in that Sec
tion are none too we'll affected toward
Helena in consequence of the hither-
to successful efforts of her citizens to
retard the Development of Southern
Montana by dong all in their power to
prevent opening the Crow reservation.
With this link completed Butte mer-
chants goods could seek that market
with confidence and an excellent jobbing
trade could be established. If the men
now in business here ignore this fact
there are men outside Of Butte who see
its possibilities and may come In here to
cut them out.
The great competition which the ad-
vent of the Montana Central next sum-
mer will create among the three trans
continental roads centering here will
create cutting of rates among the two
older roads and the completion of every
possible facility for quick transit. The
completion of this branch would largely
increase the Northern Pacifc's advant-
ages on through traffic, and the directory
could not fail to admit the force of this
as reason to them for undertaking the
enterprises.
If body that would command the
attention and respect of the Northern
Pacific authorities like the Butte Board
of Trade would embody these and the
other inducements that present them.
selves in memorial to the directory of
the road, the chances are that it would
receive favorable consideration. Though
the advantages to the road are many,
the benefit to Butte and its merchants is
