A Great Railroad.

Not long ago Mr.. George h. Daniels, the
general passenger agent of the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad, IN ex-
tending an invitation to foreigners to visit
this country, directed their attention to
the fact that the United States of
earth, peopled with sixty million of the
most civilized and enterprising people on
the globe; that the New York Central
Railroad is the greatest railroad on
earth-the only four-track road in the
world: that it started from the largest CITY
on the continent. passed through the rich
est and most prosperous region. touching
the largest cities in the interior; is the
great trunk line and direct route to that
great cataract, Niagara Falls. and that in
all respects it reveals more Of the resources
and riches of America in less time. with
more safety and under more luxurious con-
ditions than any other route There
is much in the above not only for
foreigners, who want to see this country
under favorable conditions, but for our own
restless and moving people. The New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad is
the Outgrowth of a luxurious ana prosper
Gus civilization and one of its greatest en-
gineering triumphs. As is well known it
is the only line from the west TO New York
that lands its passengers in that city
without ferrying them across the North
River Its spacious ana magnificent
station in the heart of the city has
been for years not only the pride of
New York, but lasting monument to the
foresighted liberality and enterprise OF that
great organizer and founder of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad sys-
TEN, Commodore Vanderbilt. The limited
trains of this line are the finest in the
world, and it's general accommodations for
the travelling public are only known and ap-
preciated by that large portion of it who
have been over the line and enjoyed them.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 7.-Forgeries to
the amount of nearly $500 900 have been
committed in the name of John S. BlaiS-

THE BIRTH OF HELENA.
A Rich Mineral Find Stumbled Upon By


DiscOurageO PfOspectOfS.
Equally interesting are the circum-
stances attending the birth of Helena.
Four young miners, whose names are
not associated with the city's later
history. in May, 1864. were wandering
along the main range prospecting.
They had been unable to obtain claims
in Alder gulch. and their objective
point. in case they should fail to strike
rich field of their own. was Koon-
suai, in British Columbia. where COM
mon report had located valuable dig
gings. They camped one night in the
gulch where Helena stands to-day.
but though they found 'color" they
were not particularly pleased. They
doubted if gold was there in any thing
like paying quantities. They pushed
ahead, therefore. crossed the range,
and had gone as many as thirty miles
northward when they encountered a
man who dispelled their dreams of
koonsuai. He said the good claims
were all gone. and the best of them
were poor anyhow. This news was a
great encouragement to the party.
They had rather dismal council. and
concluded that the gulch they had
lately left was their only hope. Ac-
cordingly, the next morning
they turned around and came back
to the spot upon which they had
previously encamped. They grimly
named the valley Last Chance
gulch," and last Chance gulch it is to-
day. They sank two holes to bedrock.
and their hearts leaped high when
they counted $500 in dust in their
first pan. Each of these four adven-
turers made a fortune from his claim,
and soon big camp was drawn to-
gether. One of the miners, who had
been impressed with the destinations
OF Homers heroine, gallantly urged
the name of Helena as most appro-
pirate for the name of the new city,
and Helena it became.
1t stands to-day in the very bottom
where the Last Chance pilgrims made
their first discoveries. A most absurd
and yet a more picturesque situation
would be most difficult to fancy. Its
chief business thOroughfare lies di-
rectly in the bottom of Last Chance
gulch. at the farther end of which the
patient Chinaman is still washing his
pan of dirt and realizing a fortune
larger than in his own country he had
ever dreamed of achieving. Thirty
millions were taken from Last Ch ance
gulch before it was abandoned to
merchants and shopkeepers, and even
now the builder of new house can
find laborers willing to dig his cellar
for the dirt they take from it.-N. Y.

disappearing grunts of Sitting Bulls
band, it was announced that Gall had
signed.
This settled it. The Blackfeet and Up
per and Lower Yanktonians followed
Gall and signed with a rapidity and eag-
