Governor Swineford, OF Alasks, is
going to Washington to lay before
congress, reasons why the United States
land laws should be extended to that

upon the matter, Alaska should be-
given the advantage in this, that the

less Of any rights that they may have
before availed themselves Of in the
states and territories where the land
laws have been in operation. In other
words, all parties who have exhausted
their hand rights In the United States

the sturdy but ofsentimes unfortunate
pioneer to emigrate 10 that territory.
It would further remove complication in

thing is now moving nicely in favor OF
the passage OF Dawes Sioux reservation

Hon. John H. King Of Rapid City, has
been induced to support the Dawes

earth trembled through the nervousness

Colonel" should not be induced to
support the Dawes measure A spec
ial from Washington says:
The Indian affairs committee OF the
senate has se,A the Sioux bill lately in

tary of the interior, with a request that
maps be made illustrating the proposed
allotments OF reservations TO the various
bands OF Sioux and OF the lands to- be

by the bill. The Indian bureau author
tiles hers express belief that the lack of
a provisions for securing the consent OF
the Indians may raise enemies for it in

The authorities are undoubtedly
correct and yet with the fact patent to

FRIENDLESS.

OF auburn locks and hazel eyes,
And charming grace and mien,
Across my path as in dream.
gentle maid is seen.
With empty hands, and quite alone,
Her dainty form appears,
Strong only in her helpIessness,
To meet the coming years.
For innocence and chiIdlike trust
Are written on her face,
While lines of sadness, meath her smiles
friendly eye can trace.
AS. sometimes, on a stranger coast
Good ship and comrades lost
FOrlon, IRON out an angry sea.
A sailor, wrecked. is tossed;
So from the ocean of the past,
All friendless and alone,
Saved by, at best. doubtful fate,
Is this maiden fair thrown.
But who can live, with all beside,
Where come no words of cheer,
Nor smiles of old familiar friends
Light up life's narrow sphere?
The world must be dreary waste
Where kindly words are not,
And only WEAKNESS and care
Make up ones daily lot
Where loss Of friends and blighted hopes
The young heart has to bear,
With only thoughts OF pleasures past
To lessen present care.
We danes who lead in charities,
And hold high Christian views,
Who ride in costly carriages
And sit in satin pews-
How many OF your pampered set
Their pleasures would deny,
Or freely from their ample means
This maiden's wants supply?
For thus is many maid at last,
Long pressed and sorely tried,
Compelled to take from sinners hands
The means by saints denied.
o, God, it's Thine to answer prayer
And dry the orphans tears,
And who but Thou can now betrend
This maid of tender years?

At at early stage of the proceedings tho maternal mandate went forth: "Now, Johnnie, go you. Your turn will come by and by, and John was outwardly calm, but inwardly seething as he tenderly embraced tho au- thoress of his being, and repaired upward.
 A half hour later found him sliding down the banisters on his way to the basement. Here lay shapely basket of onions. It was but the work of an instant to bring forth the trusty jackknife. Ten minutes later various chunks and layers of the savory esculent were frying in their own fat amid the hot air pipes that lead to the parlor Whew! What on earth? And where? Delicate self control marked the demeanor of those who "smelt something" Then came sudden leave talk ings. A discomfited hostess merged into a wrathy mistress, and servants went with dis may in the fruitless hunt for the smell. Search high and low was unavailing. The house smelt to heaven, while young Johnnie held his robust little stomach with both hands like the young colera victim, The gray dawn found him reclining gently on his aforesaid stomach for 2 terrific spanking Truly, his time had come sooner than was expected; but he was heard to remark, at the worst stages, that he was 'tglad he had luis laugh out first.

Roger returned saddened and mortified from the bedside of Julia, who, he now knew, had willed, probably designed, his ruin, and now all that had been hidden ill that poor bows heart was plain to him. Added to this thought was the fear of losing his only child, and he began to wish he had never left Amer ica, where they had been at peace. But what was done was done. He now had to think of her and her happiness only, that was if she lived.
 When he reached the house at day ybreak he almost feared to enter the room, but he mus tered what courage he could and opened the door softly and made two steps forward when he saw Suzanne lying with her beauti- full violet eyes, now preternaturally large, wide open and sweet smile upon her lips, and she stretched out her hands, saying fee- bly,:

WAR TIMES BRIDGE BUILDING.

How Gen. Q. M. Mitchell Rebuilt the
 Trestle Work Across Stone River in 1862.
 In the campaign of 1862 it became tho task If Gen. Mitchell, division commander, to re- build the trestle work across Stone river, near Murfreesboro. With two companies of Mich igan mechanics and engineers, assisted by de- tails from among the other troops of the division, the work was accomplished in a rc- markable short time A private letter writ ten by Gen. Mitchell to a friend thus tells tho story:
 "On Friday large force was put to work on three railroad bridges near this town-No 1, 3SO feet long; No. ,, 320 feet long; No 8, 22O feet long. These formidable bridges must be rebuilt before we could advance, as with out the railroad we could not feed the army for lack of transportation. On Saturday morning learned that we had framing tools for only two gangs of framers, when wished to set twenty gangs to work I at once mounted my horse, went to Nashv He, pur- chased all l required, returned the same day, and on Sunday morning at daylight the wagon arrived with the tools. My journey was seventy-five miles. Sunday everything was grooved up. Monday we framed and raised four butts. Tuesday five butts won't up on No. and four on Mo- 2 Timber out on Mo- 3. Wednesday five butts went up on No. 1, six on No. 2, and the framing com menced on No. 3. Thursday finished raising the butts on Nos. 1 and 2, and this morning two bridges are finished, and tho third ono nearly ready for the iron. Thus in ten days a work has been accomplished which has no parallel i'll the histories of bridge building, and which Gen. Buell. pronounced absolutely impossible"
 Of this same work Col. Paul afterward wrote: "I was with Gen. O. M, Mitchell in 1862 when he rebuilt the bridges at Murfrees- boro, Tenn., and I was afterward commis- sary of subsistence on the staff of Gen. George H. Thomas, commanding the four teenth army corps of the Army of the Cum berland, under Gen. Rosecrans, commander in chief. After the battle of Stone River and the retreat of the Confederates these bridges were again burned, and it was es- sential that they be again built as soon as possible, in order to transport ratjous into Murfreesboro across Stone river Tue work was under the charge of Gen. Morton, of the engineer corps, a regiment of engineers and mechanics, and with the Army of the Cumberland to draw from for worlsmen and they were engaged for a period of six weeks before the bridge was completetl. The bridge was made much more substantial than the one constructed by Gen. Mitchell. But the first bridge answered tbe purpose us well as the last."-''Life of O. M. Mitchell, Astronomer and General"
