A NIGHT ON A SPINDLE BUOY.
The Elders Bull Chased Him Into the
Atlantic Ocean.
From the Lewiston Journal.

From the Lewiston Journal.
Elder Sargent was local preacher In
the Methodist Conference, and this year
was stationed at fremont on the island
of Mount Desert, occupying small farm
near Bar Harbor. To help out small
salary he combined IL with little farm
ing and stock raising. AT the date of my
story st was well into the month of June,
and time his young stock was carried to
the islands for pasture. So, assisted by
few neighbors, he safely landed his
colts and calves, lambs and steers and
other stock. with the exception of two
year-old Jersey bull, whose size and pure
blood rendered 1t particularly valuable.
This creature he planned to carry 20 an
other island, hut when his neighbors
came 90 assist him he bluntly refused TO
have q ring put in it's nose, calling II
cruelty to the animal, and his neighbours
as bluntly refused 20 go shipmates with
him on any other conditions. The bull did
not possess the most amlable OF tempers
at its best. and in a passage to the ISL
ands was quite likely to be at lbs worst.
This left the minister the option of putt
ting q ring in it's nose at the dctauon
of his neighbors, or going alone with the
bull Having a will of his own, he chose
the latter alternative.
when, therefore, Monday morning came
again with It's day off, feeling, and tbs
wind blew gently off shore, the elder
so called by his people-quietly led his

and without difficulty enticed 1t on board.
He then fastened it's chain to an eyebolt
in one end OF the scow, giving the bun
some fifteen feet of tether that IL might
not find itself a prisoner while on the
water and with the long heavy oars. as
sisted by the fair wind and ebb tide,
rowed slowly down the bay with all augu-
ries proptous.
But as they debouched into the straits
now near O'clock, the wind died out and
the sun grew hot and the elder, working
at oars very much too heavy for one
man, began to perspire profuse1y. He
was mentally in the heart OF a deep ques-

COPPER RIVER.

A California boy is the author of a very interesting letter from TecktelIa, Alaska. from which we make the follow ing extracts:
 "The camp here is not as yet very lively one, for the Copper River coun- try has been pretty we'll deserted. Not more than a dozen of the hundreds who went up this way are still in the country. It was wild rush in and a wilder rush out. Scores of the return ing men never prospected a day, and it is safe to say not one-half of the pros pectors ever banned a shovel of dirt. Some wanted to see ma, some their best girl, and some only wanted to warm their feet. And nine out of ten of these people gave the country black eye. Those of us who came here to succeed, however, did not condemn the country at first sight; and today we can pro- duce abundant evidence of the vast wealth of the great Copper River coun- try.
 Attendant upon the discovery of the country's rich stores has been much hard and dangerous work and much suffering. Many lives, too, have been sacrificed. Bearing silent testimony to this fact are the lonely graves along this mighty stream. On the banks of the Chittyua, Frank Racket of the Al ice party is laid to rest. Alex Stewart
