past, with its mystery and its wrongs,

ed forward, plunged a knife into the
traitors breast, and fell. =,
There was excitement, pursuit and
after many days the miner was found
dead wrapped with the gold he had
stored away for many years. 1t is a frag-
ment Of romance-ouiy a point here aud
there, only a page now and then to
make plain tue silence and the mystery
Of twenty years.
Far away among the mountains,
where the great, cavernous glacier hangs
suspended against the side OF the peak,
the traveller may well pause a moment
and see the tomb cut in the rock, and
there remember and wonder. Hard by,
where the rivulct bursts out from be-
Meath its prison OF green ice, the sands
may be seen where the miner washed
them to separate the gold which at last
was to BIO his coffin and shroud. !

II The one who stands there in the
silence Of that mountain solitude has
ever read the "Prometheus Bound" OF
.Eschyius, it will all come back to him.
The horrid horns OF the mountains stand
up fierce and terrible, as they stood
round the chained god on the Caucasus.
The pinacles OF ice, and the wastes OF
snow and rocks, and the formless masses
OF morains marking the rayages Of the
ancient glaciers, all loom upon the sight,
and yet appear to loom up more as a
memory from the song that the great
Greek poet sang thousands Of years
ago. ,#.-I.
To stand in the presence Of these
scenes is something OF W and sublim-
ity; yet one feels II relief when he has
turned away from the ruins and the cold,
and has taken his eye from the loneliness
Of the rocks and crags, and has ceased to
hear the deep whispers Of the winds
along the heights, and listens no more
to the dreamy murmur Of the water in
its underground channels near by the
tomb. 1t is q relief to turn away and to
pass again into the region Of the low
laud hills, and to feel that though it be
a reality, it can come back only as a
memory. Hu. MAXWELL.

Sometimes while crossing mountains

Theatrical Rates Can Be Made.

The decision Of Judges Jackson and
Sage, of the United States court, in Gin
%cinnati, throwing the interstate commerce
commission out Of court in the suit against
the Baltimore & Ohio. is q complete
knockout for the commission. 1t is held
proper, and subject alone to the provisos
that rates must be just and reasonable,
and that no unjust discrimination be made
against persons or traffic similarly circum-
stanced. The inter- state commerce act
leaves common carriers just where they
were under the common law, the judges
say-free to make such contracts as are
for their interests, and to classify and
scale their charges as to them seems best.

GEN. MILES THE MAN.

Gen. Crooks Successor In Command the
Department of the Missouri.
Under the new arrangement Of depart-
ment and division commands, lately an
nounced from the war department, Brig.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles is to be transferred
from the division of the Pacific to the
command of the division Of the Missouri,
with headquarters in Chicago. Since the
death Of Maj.-Gen. Crook this division
has been under the immediate command Of
Gen. Schofeld in Washington. Gen,
Miles command will be less extensive
than that Of his predecessor, Gen. Crook,
the division now including only the de-
partnnent Of thu Platte and Dakota, with
Fort Sheridan attached.
With reference to the assignment of
Gen. Miles to the Chicago headquarters, a
change which will take place Sept. 1,
Adit.-Gen. Williams said that he was sure
the new commander and bis wife would
both be favorites. He is a man" said the
general, of a very clear head, of great
mental and physical energy, aud from his
record no less than from what I know of
him personally I pronounce him a wonder
fully fine soldier. In the civil war, with.
out the advantage Of graduating from West
Point, he rose to the rank of major-general
Of volunteers. At the conclusion of the
rebellion he was given command of the Fifth
infantry regiment in the regular army. In
this position he distinguished himself DUR
ing the war with the Sioux in 1876 and
1877. His successful campaign against
the Apaches in Arizona is yet fresh, in the
minds Of the people. The present order
certainly will give pleasure to the army,
aud in particular to the division Of the
Missouri

Dozens of Fields In Dickey County Not
Worth Cutting.

Dozens of Fields In Dickey County Not
Worth Cutting.
Local showers in Dickey county have
greatly benefited fax, oats and such wheat
as has not fully ripened. Flax is becom.
ing an important crop here, but it suffers
equally with wheat in q drouth, and the
not winds Of the latter part of July were
very damaging to it. Oats will not be over
half a crop, and prices are already advanc-
ing. The flax crop bids fair to average
about eight bushels per acre, which is a
profitable yield, considering that it never
brings less than a dollar a bushel and is
usually raised on newly broken or unsub-
dued land. The bulk of wheat in Dickey
and the surrounding counties has
been harvested. It ripened too fast, owing
to very hot and dry weather, and headers
we're brought into use more extensively
than ever before. It Is a lamentable fact
that there are dozens Of fields not worth
cutting. The county commissioners, who
are now busy looking up the seed wheat
securities, have found that with a large
majority of the farmers in Ada and Elm
townships the crop is a total failure and
will be plowed under. Ibis is on land
which has no superior in the state for
wheat producing properties we're there
plenty of moisture. Many fields in other
parts Of the county are just az bad.
Farmers are estimating the entire wheat
crop OF the county OF eight bushels per
acre on the average, and this would be a
fair estimate of the whole state west of the
Red river. The grade will be numbers /
and 2 Northern. No. l hard will be
scarce.
Not as Good rs Promised.
The farmers of Cass county have nearly
completed cutting oats and barley, and
both have proved fair crops, though in
some localities the oats have been injured
some by rust. In straw the oats promised
q very large crop-much over the average,
but the thrashing will not fulfill the ap-
pearance. Some farmers commenced har-
vesting wheat the latter part of last week,
but most everyone commenced Monday,
but the reapers wers interrupted in the af-
ternoon by a drizzling rain. 1t is believed
that if this does not continue long no
special harm will be done by it. The
wheat is not as good as the stand seemed
to promise a couple of weeks ago, but a
better crop will probably be secured than
has been harvested in this county during
the two past seasons.
Much More Grain Than I asst Year.
Harvest is in full blast in La Moure
county. The growth of straw in most
wheat fields is very heavy-enough for
twenty bushels to the acre. Over 100 har-
vesters have been sold at La Moure and
Edgely. There will be much more grain
than last year. The quality cannot be
given until another week, by which time
several thrashing outfits will be at work.
Some wheat will be No. ! hard, but some

VIII KIN Their Own Whales.

The application of Capt. Whitelaw, a
United States citizen, to the dominion
government for permission to kill whales
in the Gulf OF George will be vigorously
opposed by parties in Westminster. The
finishing touches are just being made to a
steel vessel which has teen specially built
for whaling in the gulf, and the owners
will protest against the privileges being
handed over to an American citizen. The
object for which the steamer was bnilt was
kept secret until the present tor private
reasons, but now that the Whitelsw ap.
plication is in the enterprise could no
longer be concealed. A protest will be
sent to Ottawa in q few days.
