j A Cobb, who left Butler last
winter for the KIoudike country,
returned hone on Thanksgiving day.
He returned by way Of Chicago,
where his wife was visiting, and they
came home together. He called at
The Times office and gave Us some
of his experiences in that bleak
country. H landed in Skaguay the
10th day Of January, bought horse

when he and his partner, John
Graham, sawed boards from logs

built boat. This work consumed
about ten days. The boat was about
q feet long, s feet across the top

They took three thousand pounds
of provisions in this boat and with.
out loss reached Dawson on June

distance to the water. He and two
men could dig up and wash out from
800 to 500 day Bench claims can
not be worked after it begins to get
cold, so Mr.. Cobb concluded to come
out to civilization for the winter.
He left Dawson on Sept. 1st with
twelve hundred dollars for his sum

Buttermilk.
Sheriff Mudd, Judge Graves ard

ordered twelve 'possums for SAtur-
day night when they will give the
''cullerd population" such feast as
falls to their lot but rarely in a life

the 'possums, sweet potatoes and
buttermilk.
The following, clipped from the
Independence, Mo, Sentinel is very
appropriate in this connection in
giving an idea how to prepare the
'possum:
Gap Raglan, Of the county mar
shal's Office, never tires Of discussing

Yesterday an old, gray haired darkey
who farms in small way in the
Crsckerneck country, brought to
town a fat, young 'possum and pre-
scented it to thu Captain.

Miss Rosine Morris, fourteen-year-
old girl of Butler, who rendered

Bismarck,s Last Moments.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-The death of Prince
Bismarck just before midnight Satur-
day night was without any premonition
n the forenoon. when everything favored
the theory Of recovery as advanced by
his physician owing to the symptoms.
Prince Bismarck's condition was COM
paratively satisfactory throughout FRI
day and Saturday. He read and con-
versed on politics. particularly referring
TO Russian affairs. In the forenoon he
took luncheon, grunbling 'jocularly at
the small proportion of spirits in his
drinking water. Then a sudden change
for the worse occurred in consequence Of
an acute attack Of pulmonary odema,
and in the course Of the afternoon he
frequently became Unconscious.
According to an unofficial account the
death agony was prolonged. The prince
died without taking leave OF the family.
For fully anthour he suffered terrible
Aifficulty in breathing, and his groans
were fearful to hear during the death
struggle.

LIVESTOCK SITUATION.

Beef is firm, though the hot weather
has been against a liberal movement.
Western shippers continue to notify the
sellers here of the increased cost of
cattle, and to urge upon them the neces-
sity of higher prices, in order that the
beef shall not pay loss. At the same
time, they ship enough here to keep the
market too full for exceedingly strong
prices The total arrivals for the week
were 141 cars for Boston and 1855 cars
for export, a total of 296 cars; preceding
week, 1873 cars for Boston and 81 cars
for export, total of 224 cars; same
week year ago, 141 cars for Boston and
143 cars for export, a total of 2S4 cars.
