Yellowstone National Park.

In view OF the widespread attention now cen
tered in the Yellowstone National Park, the follow
ing expressions from two of the most eminent
American citizens, one a scientist and the other a
clergyman, are Of great interest.
Prof John Muir, California's Distinguished
Geologist, speaking Of the National Resort says:
Situated in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, on
the broad rugged summit of the continent, amid
snow and ice and dark shaggy forests, where the
great rivers take their rise IL surpasses in wakefu
exciting interest any other region yet discovered
on the face of the globe"
Rev.T Dewitt Talmage. the eminent divine, says:
after all poetry has exhausted itself and when
all the Norans and Bierstadts and other enchant-
ing artists have completed their canvas, there will
be other revelations 20 make and other stories Of
its beauty and wrath, splendor and agony, 10 be
recited. The Yellowstone Park is the Geologists
Paradise"
The Northern Pacific Railroad. The Celebrated
Dining Car Route is the only all rail line 20 this
region. For copy of Wonderland, Yellowstone

One OF the annoying things Of life Is
what Is known as being turned around"
that Is. confused as to the points ofthe
compass. Probably nearly every one has
had something of this experience, but 1t
Is much more vexatious In some cases
than in others, A friend Of the writer
thus describes his experiences: 1.-The only
place where have been thoroughly and
persistently astray in this matter Is
Poughkeepsie, which i have had occa-
sion to visit few times In the course Of
my life. Everybody has heard of the
orator who, in an imprisoned moment,
exclaimed: Il know no north, no south,
no east, no west Well. his condition
was greatly to be envied by the man who
thinks that west Is east and north Is
south, and who cannot rid his mind OF
the idea.
1.-THE first time went to Poughkeepsie,
some fifteen years ago, il was firmly i'm
pressed on my mind that the city was on
the west bank of the Hudson and that
the principal street, which runs directly
back from the river, went in direction
exactly west. Passing Poughkeepsie on
one OF the river steamers, l am well
aware that it is on the east side, but the
moment my foot is set on the shore de-
mon takes possession of me and my no
tons of direction are all awry. l am
even in doubt when the train enters the
station whether it is going north or
south, and if left to myself should prob
ably take the train bound for Albany
when l wanted TO go to New York.
1.-THE other night had to wait half an
hour for train there, and during the
interval / made desperate efforts to set
my mind right. On the newspaper in
my hand | drew mental map of the
Hudson, and then, starting with the as
sured fact that Poughkeepsie Is on the
east bank, / tried to convince myself
of the true state of things But my mind
refused to stay convinced. AS think of
Poughkeepsie now, Main street, as you
go up it from the river, runs just west.
l wish some one could explain this phe-
nomenon for me. One part of my men,
tai make up knows positively which
direction is north and which is south, as
well in Poughkeepsie as elsewhere, but
the other part (and the one which is con-
trolling) refuses to accept this knowl-
edge. Why is it? Where is the philoso-
pher who can explain itY-New York
Tribune.

CAPTAIN ED. SMITH.
A Notable Citizen of Paw Paw-some of
His CharacterIsties

His characteristics
The gentleman whose name appears
at the head of this article has long been
a notable feature among the business
men of this town. He settled here In
an early day, opening up a general
mercantile business at which he has
amassed "A comfortable fortune. just
how he acquired his military title it
would be difficult TO state, but the fact
remains that he has been Capt. Ed. for
many years and will retain his title until
his death, perhaps longer. He is a first
class business man and democrat OF
democrats. Doesn't talk politics very
much, but never fails To vote straight
democratic ticket-never has and never
will. He goes down TO old Connecticut,
his native state, every summer where
he fills up on chowder, Holsters and the
like, returning in the fall as sleek as a
mole and as jolly as the traditional friar.
He takes life easy, has already reached
a good old age and bids fair to last for
many years to come. He is an inveter-
ate story teller and nothing delights
him more than to have good listener
for his anecdotes, unless it be to
purchase bill of clothing and furnish
ing goods, which has long been his Eek
elusive line" at bankrupt sale and
