BOG BUTTER.
A Prehistoric Pat Sent to Canada from Dun.
lawn. County Kildare.
(From the Toronto Globe.)

(From the Toronto Globe.)
Mr.. David Boyle, the curator of the
Ontario Archaeological Museum, is il
receipt of an exceedingly curious sur.
vival from prehistoric times in the
shape of a good-sized lump of hos
butter" In Ireland in the very ole
times the art of making butter was
known, but the preservative effects OF
salt was as yet undiscovered. Never.
theless, the people of that age pos
sessed some means of preserving it
burial in a bog being part of the pro
cess. Firkins of it were frequently left
there for safekeeping, and from time
to time these relics of prehistoric
housekeeping are unearthed. Mr.. B
ST. George LEROY of Toronto. who j.
now in Ireland, is the donor of a good.
sized piece of cheesy- looking stuff tt
the museum. Mr.. Lefroy's letter tc
Mr.. Boyle is in part as follows:
II have just sent off per parcels pos
a piece of bog butter to you. l don't
know whether it is a thing of suffici-
ent antiquity and rarity to be of any
value or interest to you, but as tho
Dublin Museum has a key in a promi-
nent position perhaps you may con-
slider it worthy of admission to a place
in the museum. l notice the Canadian
customs forbid substitutes or imita-
lions of butter ] hope red tape won't
signalize itself over this.

In spite of the bad weather of Friday
chorus met Prof. Arthur Hyde at the
Baptist vestry, and sang from the "Mes-
siah" and Chapman's Festival book.
Those who We're not present missed a
great deal, as the rehearsal was pro-
nounced an elegant one. All seemed to
be at their best or it was the enthus-
ing influence of Prof. Hyde that caused
them to sing so sweetly. The members
be with them next week, but he will
make his next visit in two weeks.

Representatives from the various pre-
cincts Of the county, composed Of demo
Gratis, populists, and free silver republi-
cans gathered in this city last Saturday,
presumably for the purpose of laying
plans, as they think, for %skinning the
republicans this fall. Just what was
done we are unable to ascertain. All
we could discover is that three separate
conventions are to be held on the 10th
of September, for the purpose of placing
in nomination a ticket in opposition to
the republican ticket, but whether that
ticket is to be a democratic ticket, a pop.
ulist ticket, a free silver ticket, a peoples
party ticket, a fusion ticket, a l6 to
ticket, or O combination Of all these ele-
ments, we cannot say. We understand
that the conventions are TO last for two
days. The nominations will be made
on the 10th, which is on Friday, and on
Saturday there will be a love feast, at
which time the fellows not let in to the
earlier counsils Of the parties, and the
aspirants for Office who for some un-
accountable reason failed to get q nom
ination will be pacihed, and the wisdom
Of the course pursued explained.

AL Burnham, who left for Klondike
about a year ago, returned to Deadwood
the later part of last week. His report
of the country is not at all encouraging.
He succeeded in getting two claims on
a creek and sold them at a fair profit so
that he has not lost money by his trip
there. His return trip was made in a
small boat down the Yukon river to st.
Michael's, where he took a steamer for
Seattle. At the time Mr.. Burnham left
the country warm weather had set in
and the snow was melting off very ra'
pidly. The weather changed very sud-
denly from intense cold to sultry heat
and considerable sickness was caused
by the sudden change. Mr.. Burnham
states that very few Of the dozen or
more Black Hills men who went in a
year ago are doing any better than they
would at home. Some Of them have
secured good prospects and If their
health remains good they may make a
good stake.

Died.


On Tuesday August 22nd, 1898, at 9
o'clock o. m, at his home in Custer city,
s.. D., Charles Todd bid farewell to
the things on earth and passed into the
great beyond.
He was born near Philadelphia, Pa,
May 10, 1923. He remained in Penn
s~ylvania until 20 years of age, then for
some years he travelled in the southern
states. Leaving the south he settled in
Prairie City, Iowa, where he was mar
ried Aug 81, 1862, to Mrs. Mary Crsig,
who now mourns his death. He lived in
Jasper Co., Iowa, until 1872, then moved
to Audubon County, where he remained
until coming to the Black Hills in 1890.
In that year he settled in Custer whore
be lived until the time of his death. He
leaves a wife and four sons to mourn
his death. One son is with the United
States Volunteer army in the Phillip
pean expedition, the other three are at
home. One daughter preceded him to
the realm beyond the tomb.
Thus often the shadows of sorrow may fall,
And often with weeping we whisper goodbye,
And bow to the will of the God over all,
Who watcheth with loving and pitiful eye.
He knows the dark pathway We surely must
tread,
He knows all the perils on sea or on land,
Though dark Is the pathway we each shall be
lead,
Protected and kept by his merciful hand.
He loves thee far more than thy heart can
conceive,
He bids thee in triumph and peace TO arise,
To look on the cross, accept and believe,
And seek for the blessing lie sends in dis
guiSe.
Though wild Is the tempest on lifes rugged sea,
Though pillows of sorrow arise I'm thy way,
He bids thee behold, for surely there1l be
A rainbow OF promise concealed in the spray.
