opens next spring The boats have al
ready been contracted for and will be in
readiness for the opening of navigation
These boats will be fat bottomed, with
stern wheels, very much of the same style
as the old Mississippi River craft They
will be built to draw, when empty, only
some eight inches of water and when
loaded about twenty inches.
Half of the feet will ply between the
point where the trail over the White Pass
strikes the headwaters of the Yukon at
Miles Canyon, in the heart of the Klon-
dyke district. This distance is $50 miles.
The remaining half of the fleet will ply
on the greater Yukon, between Miles
Canyon and the mouth of the river. Com
munication will thus be established by the
two principal routes by which the gold
fields are reached.
Mr.. Atkinson says it is now altogether
proba bic that the British Yukon Company
will begin the construction of a narrow
gauge railroad over the White Pass as
early next spring as operations can be
begun. In view of the great rush, the
company has practically decided to build
the railroad at once.

ment surveyor, who is in this city, says
that the route to the klondvke by way of
the Yukon is the long and hard route. He
has been surveyor in that country and
saws that he can go to the KIondySe all
the way by water except sixty miles. His
route is Seattle 10 Vancouver, then up the
coast to the mouth of stream 10 Port
Essington, trading-post. On the other
side of the river to the north three miles
is Balmoral, where trading post is run
by Jack Cunningham, the only white man
in the country. He is married to a native
and has several dang ters. By going up
this river it is only sixty miles overland to
the gold fields and the distance is over
level country that can be made in two
days. Any one who will address Mr..
Saunders, druggist, on Johnson street,
Victoria. B. c., can get all the informa-
ton regarding this route, and can also
hire small boats and schooners from him
to go. This route. enables one to reach
the Klondyke by a short and inexpensive
trip. 1t also avoids the Chilcoot Pass.

One day in October, 1883, Lady A.,
living in Rue du Bel-Respiro, Paris,
found that She had been robbed of
sum of $500 francs, saws the Arena.
She notified the commissary of police.
who instituted a search and questioned
the servants, but discovered nothing.
LIdy A. when cnumeI ating her serv-
ants begged the colnmissary to exclude
from his suspicious her second valet de
chambre, a youth of 10, very cookbook
ing, very respectful and very we'll quail
fled for his duties, who had been nick
named "le Petit" not on account of his
stature, for he was rather tall, but for
feeling Of delicate, protecting famil-
iarity which his good qualities had won
for him.
Meanwhile, among the friends OF
Lady A there had been n good deal
of talk about q certain Demoisel1e
E., who they said, could see the
most surprising things in bowl Of

curiosity to accompany his govcSncBs

l Correspondence.


 In April, 1869, there appeared an item in the Stafford News Letter something like the following:
 Married in Staffordville, April 2d, by Rev. H. M. Vaill, Stephen B. Tifft of Ashford, and Juliaett Booth of Union; also, Sanford Booth and Ellen A. Moore, both of Union.
 On the evening of the 2d of the present month, there were assembled at the resi- dence of Mir. and Mrs. Tifft, ninety or more neighbors and friends, in commem- oration of the event. Mrs. Tifft's three brothers, Sanford, Melvin and Milo Booth from Brimfield Mass, were present, each accompanied by his wife and children. Mrs. Tifft's only sister, Mrs. Miner Miller of South Birmingham, Mass, intended to be present, but was detained by sick ness. The evening was remarkable fine for the season of the year, and everything passed off in the most agreeable manner. The tables " re loaded with pies, cake and tropical fruits, and music lent its charms to the occasion. The tempting array of good things on the tables was largely due to the generosity of the guests. There were many presents, quite an amount being in money, given as tokens of friendship.
