NOSE AT NEW YORK.
From Washington Nose went to
New York on the earnest invitation
OF the city government and B. of |
I. and stock exchange, and was Civ
en- the freedom of the city, and as
signed to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. |
Nose says he went to New York CITY
strictly in the line of his duty as al
Salvationist and a member Of this
Board, and that he was highly aatter-
ed with the attention be received.
There was only one mistake in their
program for his amusement and pleas
ure. While he was at the Salvation
Barracks on Sunday evening, the au-
thorities, supposing it would be par
ticularly gratifying to him, and make
things more homelike for him, and
without consulting him, got up such
blizzard as no one before had been
honored with. On Monday morning
things we're in fine mess. Three or
four feet of snow; railroad blocked;
telegraph down, business suspended
and wind $50 miles an hour, &c. Nose
saw at glance that mistake had
been made by somebody. So, wrap
ping his blanket around him and
pinning onto his feet a couple of
pieces of dry goods box he sailed
out to put things to rights, and by
night had matters we'll in hand. On
Tuesday he had made such progress
that he was able to 60 on with his
lecture at the Stock Board Exchange
building on Wall street. His theme
for the occasion was, Boards of
Trade-Their Organization and Meth
DDS" The e. of 7. of n. Y. city,
delegations of the Bs. of T. of Bos-
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago
and other large cities were there,
and Nose says he felt how much de-
, pended on his effort, and he gave
them the best ammunition he had in
his magazine; and that for two hours
he held them spell bound while he
unfolded the principles and workings
of the B. of T. of Boise County, and
, set out the resources of the country
from Last Chance to Silver Noun
tain. That Silver Mountain and Gold
Hill got them. They wanted to
+ know how big hill of gold, and how
large mountain of silver there were
out there. Nose says he saw they
+ we're the fellows to be caught with
such bait, and told them the Silver
e Mountain was twenty miles long and
y sixteen miles wide, and as high a:
+ Himalaya, or some $4,000 feet, and i
a was not known how deep it is, anc
-. that the hill of gold was about one
sixteenth as large. He says that al
a the next day he sat at his telephone
J.. calling, ''Hello!" "Who are you?'
n "What you want?" and answering
4 questions about Boise county. Claf
Y lin, the great dry goods man, want
!. ed to know if there is an opening 70
. a big branch at Last Chance; Macy
h if Hogem was a good opening for bus
. mess, &C., sc. Nose says that he re
:, ceiyed on the same day cablegrar
! from Queen Victoria, requesting hlI
;s to visit England, but there was som
# expression in it that led him to SUI
- pose she thought he was some IN
= proved edition of Buffalo Bill, and b
$. simply answered her that "he was ne
!, in the circus or wild horse bushes
a but strictly IN the B. of I. business
Nose says only one man IN Ne
st York failed to size him up truly, an
n that was the fellow that was about
So strike him for $40. The fello
70 said he "knew Nose like book
=. and that he looked just as young ar
20 fresh as he did several years az
,d when the fellow claimed to have m
ID him in Idaho City. Nose eyed hi
" closely, and all of sudden happ
vs. silvery ripple of laughter burst fro
u his vocal organs, and a gem
lis smile rippled over the entire area
70 his countenance, and said, as plain
, &c the words that followed, 81 Ee
.lv recognize YOU" Nose took him
70 the hand and exclaimed, gleefull
oh .sBv iucks, l know you now, and
ba never was happier in meeting an c
;os .couaintance." Nose then told ST
"a rowful tale-that he was far tr'

be home to his ''diggins," and that if
