Editor National Tribune: Did Presi-
dent Lincoln direct our ambassadors
to ask theJCzar of Russia for help dur
ing the rebellion when the Russian fleet
came to New York?
What was the cause of the war be-
tween the United States and Mexico p
Bartlett Lynch, Carsonville, Mich.
It is impossible to say what passed
between our, State Department and that
of Russia during the war Of the rebel
lion, as these communications were
kept secret, and no one knows posi-
lively why the Russian fleet was sent
to New York. There are many stories
afioat, the truth Of which has never
been ascertained.
The war with Mexico was caused by
our annexation of Texas and of terri
tory which Mexico claimed to belong
to her.-Editor National Tribune

A Bluff That Failed.

Gen. Banks had sanguinely hoped
that the terrific cannonade which he
and Farragut opened upon Port Hud-
son weuld cow the garrison into imme-
date surrender. He had every reason
to hope for this. The storm Of projec-
tiles which beat upon the narrow space
would, with anything but American SOL
diers, have been completely demoraliz-
ing and left in their minds no other
thought but that Of surrender. Gard
ner's firm answer dispelled this hope
and showed that there was nothing left
but to attempt to make the bluff good
by an immediate assault. This seems to
have been the unanimous opinion OF
the Generals OF Division. who were

HETTINGER COUNTY
DeIeqation Here Seekinq
the Assistance Of the
Governor in its Behalf.

Tribune, Aug. IS: A delegation COM
posed Of F. l. Bonesho and Paul BONN
of Mott and Ray Conklin of Richardson
is in the city today in conference this
afternoon with Governor Sarles relative
to the organization Of Hettinger county
this fall, the previous effort in this di.
rection last year proving abortive.
The gentlemen state that the county
has about 1000 population and is fully
able to conduct its own affairs; that
roads and bridges are needed, and that
there are in the county limits over 1900
children of school age who are without
educational facilities. They are very
enthusiastic ovcr the development Of
that section and predict the population
will double in the mex year or two. The
coming of the Milwaukee into their
county has greatly stimulated settle
ment in the southern townships and the
settlers of the entire region are waxing
fat IN the fertility of the land. What
action the governor has taken is not
known as we 60 to press.

H SCARED WRIST,

Qaeer Dream Story Connected With
the Dercxford Family.
For three generations the Beresford
family have handed down as substan-
TALLY true a remarkable dream story
which is connected with q small peck
etbook and a piece Of black ribbon in
possession Of a member of the family.
So we'll known and so we'll authenticat-
ed was the story that a member of the
Beresford family printed for private
circulation a short account Of the facts,
of which, without impugning the sin
certify Of his relatives, he e~ndeavored
to give a simple explanation.
The narrative is a love story as we'll
as a dream story. The heroine Of it is
Nicola Hamilton, the young wife of
Sir Tristram Beresford. This young
lady appeared at the breakfast table
one morning very agitated and pale
and with her left wrist bound with a
piece Of black ribbon. She replied to
her husbands inquiries by %entreating
him to ask her nc questions. She then
said that her brother, Lord Tyrone, Of
whom she had been very fond, had
died on the preceding Thursday, which
subsequently proved to be the case.
It seems that in the night Lady
Beresford had dreamed that her broth
er sat by her bedside although she de-
clared he had indeed sat there) and,
after telling her whom her child should
marry and that her husband would die
before her, warned her, with the ut
most vehemence against marrying. the.
second time. :
IF you do remarry," her dream WIS.,
;itor had said, you will suffer from
your husbands i'll treatment until your
death at f~orty-seven. Resist every
+temptation to a second marriage" Re-
;quir1ng some proof Of her brothers re-
atty, he had, at her request, touched
her wrist with his hand, ~whereupon
the sinews had shrunk and the nerves
withered. She showed her wrist, bound
with black ribbon, but declared that it
had been forbidden her to Uncover it.
When Sir Tristram died Lady Beres-.
ford In spite of all remonstrances, i'm
mediately sought absolute solitude and
retirement. But life without friends
proving unbearable, she consented to
exchange visits with a single family of
the neighborhood. In this family was
q son whom, after a time, she strove in
vain to regard with Indifference. Her
love grew and overpowered her. When
fhe young man declared his passion she
consented to a private union. All turned
out as the dream had foretold. In a
year or so her husbands conduct was
so bad that she had to separate from
him. At forty-seven she died. After
her death her wrist was examined and
found to be as she had described it.
The most remarkable of the facts
connected with this strange story-the
SCARED wrists explained by the
writer Of the pamphlet referred to
above as follows: He considers that
Lady B%eresford, who knew that her
brother, Lord Tyrone, was Ill, dreamed
that he was dead, and in consequence
became so violently excited as to injure
her wrist. In the morning she bound it
up SO tightly that in course of time the
sinews shrank and withered.

Not Such a Bad Town After All.

Pete's friends ire both promi-

guaranteed that the show would
do a great business in their town
Pete decided to accept the invi-
tation.
We'll make it our business to
see that you don't go in the hole
on the DEAL" said one of Pete's
friends. Well see that every
body in town turns out"
Pete remembered the promise
later.
A circus had just visited the
town and when Pete and his wild
west show appeared the people
didn't enthuse a little bit. The
receipts from the afternoon per-
Torrance were $7.75. In the
evening business was bstter.
Forty people crowded into the
tent, netting Pete just $40.
Such a business would bank.
