AS the time draws near to select a
man for governor of North Dakota
Budges chance is awful slim. We have
taken particular pains of late. to look up
this mans record, and we find him in no
wise. fit to fill such an important office.
First, he is said to favor the saloons and
gambling iens; and is an all round
sport, and voted to bc a good fellow
one of the boys. They say he spends
money freely, and no doubt if he could
have the say. our prohibition laws would
amount to even less than now; and that
is poor enough. The law is all right, if
it was only enforced.

Telenhonic Profits.

One of the reasons advanced for the
failure to reduce telephone tolls Is the
imposibility of making y bare living.
In connection with this the following
from the Utica Herald is full of in
terest: ssrhe American Bell tele-
phone company reports that for ten
months 10 january last its earnings
were $4,000. 554 against %, 295, 549 for
the preceding year. For the same
period its expenses were S6S7,S7S
against $3.50. 1853. The company de-
ciared dividends for ten months in
1884 of $1,440.3l5 against Si,05i. 479
for the preceding year. In the former
year the dividends came very near to
so per cent of the total earnings; In the
last ten months OF 1884 the dividends
were nearly three-fourths OF the earn
ings. For the capital actually paid in
the dividends are monstrous. The
users of the telephones can reckon
that 40 per cent of all the moneys
which they pay to the parent company
are for dividends on inflated stock.

An Abandoned Hulk.

Among the ships lying in Rotten

the dismantled frigate Colorado. When
she was built she was considered tho
finest piece OF Naval architecture and
the most formidable man-of-war afioat.
She was sent to the China Station with
a picked craw and set Of officers selec-
ted. for their wealth and good breed
ing. She was the pride of the Ameri-
can squadron in the China seas, and
filled the fleets of other nations there
with admiration and envy. From
Corea to Singapore she Was known as
la belle frigate.' But that was years
and years ago. Now her glory Is de-
parted; she IL q ruined hulk, and the
Government cant even sell her for

A Remarkable River.

Endeavors were recently made to
explore the remarkable River Reka.
which rises in the Austrian Province
of Carniola and disappears in a series
of caves known as the karst Caverns.
At spot some twenty miles distant q
stream called the Timayo pours out Of
y hillside. and there is reason to be-
lieve that this is Identical with the
Reka, which thus flows twenty miles
underground. The party engaged in
the recent explorations followed the
subterranean course OF the Reka about
one furlong, and passed six waterfalls,
until they reached seventh fall.
which 1t was impossible to get over
without the construction of special app
paratus, as the river has no bank at
that point. The explorers employed
the magnesium light to illuminate the
dark course of the stream. One Of
the caverns through which il runs is

A Singular Experience.
rom the Gorham IN HI Mountaineer.

From the Gorham IN. HI Mouutaineer.
Miss hattie Edmonds, Of Dalton, has
passed through singular experience.
Over year ago she had several teeth
extracted by dentist while under the
influence of chloroform, and immedi-
ately afterward she was seized with a
bad cough and gradually wasted and
took her bed, as ii was supposed in con-
sumption. Several physicians exam
ined her case, one Of whom attributed
her illness to an ulcer in the throat, and
gave her remedy. The medicine re-
suited in severe paroxysm of cough
ing, during which she threw out tooth
that had been lodged in her throat
while she was chloroformed, and had
remained, nearly costing her her life.
She is now rapidly recovering. We
think that, while saying her evening
prayers, she ought to say the words OF
the little girl who, after having tooth
extracted, used the expression: For.
