Fsnimore Cooper's wife.

Fenimore Cooper became a novelist
through his wife's challenge. One
evening while reading q novel he
threw it down, saying: ~ believe I
could write better book, myself
"Let me see you do it," said his wife
with smile. In few days he had
written several chapters of "Precau-
tion," which, when finished, he pub
lished at his own expense. The novel
attracted little attention, but il gave
Cooper an inkling of his capacity for
story-writing, and "The Spy" his
next novel, appealed 50 strongly to
the patriotic sympathes OF his coun-
trymen that it became a great success.

ARF1ACE IN INDIA.
CUSTOMS ATTENDING THE CERE.
VAT THE PRESENT TINE.

The following is an abstract from a
letter received short time ago from
India:
GAS write, there is terrific din
going on next door, which is made by
natives that are celebrating the mar.
riage OF their children, who. to judge
by looking at them, are about IL years
of age. The celebration was COM
menced last Tuesday (to-day is Sun
day. and it has been kept up ever
since. The music(O is produced from
ali an old keg, with one head Knocked
out and covered with sheepskin, upon
which they beat with their hands,
which is called tom-tom. There is
one other instrument in use which
sounds very much like bagpipe aud
tambourine. There is no harmony
in the sound they make, and, in fact,
all they seem to want to do is to make
noise. This is accompanied by u
chant by the females, which is very
much like the sound u saw makes
when it strikes knot in log.
at is the custom of Indian parents
to make match for their children
when they are born, and then, between
the age Of IL and II, they celebrate
the wedding with feasting and rejoic
ing, according to their means. Their
paren's will stint themselves for years
before and after the event 80 Of
to make great show. After the Ger
emony the bride and bridegroom are
separated, and do not meet Until they
are OF age, when, il the man does MOI
like the woman, he is not compelled
to live with her, but he must supper
her. But am told that cases arr

THE STEAMER IDAHO NAVIGATING

THE STEAMER IDAHO NAVIGATING
KooTENAI LAKE.
Bonner's Ferry, April l9.-(Special
correspondent of the REvIEw.)-The
steamer Idaho, owned by Messrs.
Fry, Thompson and Ainslie, has been
successfully launched at Bonner's
Ferry, after thorough overhauling,
and is now in frst-class condition.
She made her trial trip last Sunday,
having on board Manager J.. b.
Thompson and six other gentlemen,
with Captain Ainslie1 in command,
and e. r. Reed as.engineer. The
distance covered was about fifty
miles, extending to the boundary line
between British Columbia and Idaho.
The trip was made in five and one
half hours, very fast time considering
that the river was unfamiliar to Cap
tain Ainslie. The gentlemen con-
nected with the boat are all more
than satisfied with the result of the
trial, as it exceeded their expectations.
Tie Idaho will probably be the
fastest boat on the Kootenai this
summer, and the fact that she is to be
handled by Captain Ainslie is a suf-
ficient guarantee of her safety.
Quite . number OF miners have
left Bonner's Ferry, for both the up.
per and lower Kootenai countries,
but it is yet too early for the rush to
begin as the snow still lies deep in the
mountains. Everything looks prom
ising for lively season.

THE BUSrLE IN A MINING CAMP.
THE HARDY MINERS HAD NEVER SEEN
ONE BEFORE AND TOOK 1T FORA
DEFORMITY,


ONE BEFORE AND TOOK 1T FORA
DEFoRMITY.
Every miner in the camp was ex-
cited and talking about it. Now it
took some very important event to
thoroughly arouse all the boys along
the gulch. A row in which only one
man WAS killed was considered u very
commonplace social event, and an
ordinary lynching did not attract
much attention.
What was it2
Why, there WAS woman in camp
and all was commotion. 1t was the
first great social event in White Horse
Gulch.
The young lady had finished her
dinner and was strolling about the
camp with her uncle, large fleshy,
jolly old man who was large stock
holder in one of the principal mines in
the gulch. He had brought his niece,
u young lady of 20, on trip with him
for company and also TO show her
something Of the wild and rugged
West. II had been many month
8 nee the boys had seen "a woman, and
hence everybody wanted to meet her
and invite her to partake OF the hos.
pitality of White Horse Gulch, for all
the latch-strings were out and she
would have been welcomed to the best
the rude mountain cabins afforded.
Now, any woman would have ap-
peared handsome. A dried-up old
maid from New. England, dieted and
preserved on non-sugared tea for a
quarter OF century, would have been
considered handsome and very lovely,
for the mountain boys are very gal
liant to women, and old maids are CIV

The boys We're all charmed by the
polite manners and handsome face OF
the young lady, but there was look
OF deep sympathy in the eyes OF all
when they saw her. at is too bad" 4"
was the prevailing sentiment OF all.
"What handsome face, pard,' ex-
claimed a miner, "but how unfJr'
nate"
Some admired her handsome
others her beautiful black hlL
others her comely shaped ioot,>i
pitied her for her deformity.
That evening, after the young
had retired, her uncle was chat .
with a number OF the miners, and his
niece, OF whom the fond uncla was
very proud, became the topic of con.
versation. Finally, one harder thar
the rest, said it was n pity she was de-
formed. In tones OF sympathy hs
told the uncle how the hearts Of al

had gone out toward him for her af

Never since the granting of the great tract
OF land TO the Indians at the close OF the
Sioux war have the Indians been so thor

the Indians has arrived Nearly the
entire five thousand Indians of this
agency are camped within two miles of
Fort Yates, and additions TO their mum
