"Ho for the gnldun glorious northwest !
Free homes for everybody ! The poor
man's paradise I Ilcnlth , wealth and Imp-
pincss to nil : "
Two years ago every city in the country
was Hooded with circulars of tlm nboro
tenor , issued in behalf of the Northern
Pacific country. Every newspaper in that
region was full of laudation of ils advan
tages to settlors. A gigantic boom wa-
the result. Every train coining into St.
Paul was jammed to its capacity by houtc-
Bcekers , foriiino-soekers and health-seek
ers. Shipload after shipload of Scandina
vians woio deposited at stations along the
line of Iho Northern Pacific railroad ,
under the Villatd adifiinistratioiii until it
seemed as if the whole region was to bo
so It led up at once.
The buom has basted. All the present
fall there has boon a growing exodus , uti-
til now scarcely a train goes eastward
without bearing from ono hundred to
three hundred dlahoartoncd men who regret -
grot their venture , and are Booking a
more congenial field of labor.
I recently talked with a settler from
northern Dakota who had bought a small
claim there two years ago. "Do I like
tbo country } " said he , in answer to my
inquiry , -"DooB a man like to bo robbed ?
I've ' farmed there two years , and besides
my work I am just § (500 ( behind. I wont
foe my health , had hoard of the wonder
ful 'ozone * that braced a man up , the en
tire absence of malaria. Well , I didn't
got malaria , but I got the catarrh so bad
ly that my head roars like a drum ; the
sharp air braced mo up , sure enough , but
my joints arc so full of rheumatism
that ! move about like uskeleton on
wires. "
"It's for
a money-making country
some people , " continued the farmer , "but
the way it's done wouldn't ' pass muster
in all sections. An honest man is called
a 'chump' out there. Ho always gets
his pockota turned inside out some way
or other. I'll ' just tell yon how they
worked it on mo. The town I was ticketed -
otod for had fully 2,000 inhabitants in it ,
with schools , clnircnps , mill and factories
in full blast. That is what the local pa
per said that they gave mo at the land
oQtco in St. Paul. When I got oft" the
cars I found that paper wni just ono ci
pher out of the way 200 was a fair esti
mate. About 100 of those were laborers
building a sidetrack and living in cars.
They wont away in two woeki. Of the
other 100 at least 50 were lawyerr , real
estate men and money lenders. The bal
ance wore 'chumpa,1 of which I was
ono.
ono."Tho lawyers had gobbled all the offi
ces ; the real estate men had gobbled all
the land ; and the money lenders had
gathered up all the business chances , the
mill sites and elevator plants.
"I wanted to buy a tarm. The real
estate men wanted an outrageous price
for any piece within ton miles of the sta
tion. I thought I could do bettor at auc
tion. So they fixed up an 'auction' for
me. How the farms did go oft ! What
prices they did bring 1 I bought one paid
twice what it was worth and afterwards
found that I was the only bona fide pur
chaser. That's what they call 'shark
baltinu' out there.
"I mortgaged my farm to erects house
and to secure farming machines 15 per
cent interest , and under such iron clad
conditions that a man is bound to lose if
ho has a mishap. Well. I've had several.
The first winter my stock froze to death ;
the settlers moved away ; coal was SIC a
ton , with noVood In sight ; but my crops
had been good and prices were fair , so I
atald.
"The next my crops got frostbitten ; I
got the rhnematism , and the sharks came
down on mo for failing to pay promptly ,
and cleaned mo out. Last spring T took
to teaming and have earned enough to
take mo to a more hospitable place. "
The old farrror's experience is a typo
of thousands. The region is unfit for
small farming. The long winters oat up
the profits of the short summer. Large
farms may thurlah where men and ani
mals may be imported and taken away
after the summer's work is over. The
railroads , which promised so much , have
performed little. The elevator system
has boon such as to take away profits
from farmers ; fruits can not bo grown ;
fuel must always bo high , and as a con
sequence the northwest mint always bo
apaiHjly settled. These diawbacks are
what "busted the bcom" inaugurated by
the North Pacific railway.
I had a little newspaper experience
not tar from St. Paul which is n fair earn-
plo of what the whole northwest country
affords. I visited a friend , who was loca
ted at a little interior lake , where ho was
ongiv'od in butter making. Ho win near
enough to the city of St. Paul to be
reached by a short railway trip. Com
bining business with pleasure , 1 had
agreed to write up the region tor a rep
resentative daiiy. The railway company
was endeavoring to boom the lake as a
fashionable watering place , and had
placed A scow on the lake for pleasure
parties , and had built a barn-like struc
ture for a hotel. A few shanties were
scattered about the border of the lake ,
built for the accommodation of hunters
and sportsmen. Tha influx of people
was perhaps twenty-five to fifty dally. I
sent n report to the paper , and promptly
received a postal card , tolling me
that I did not "till the bill"
s a correspondent , Disguising
\ my handwriting , I converted the shanties
into beautiful cottages , the steam-scow
into a Heating palace , the hotel into the
grandest that fancy c uld conceive , the
small knot of viaitors into a mighty mul
titude , and oven transformed the colored
cook Into a distinguished caterer for roy
alty I sent this by way of sarcasm undu :
an alias , and received a cordial letter by
return post from the managing editor ,
.stating that "you have 'caught on' in
great uliapo ! "
1 had occasion to look up a town ii :
Dakota called Ellendale. A. colony o !
300 were organizing to secure homesteadi
near there , On the map and in the
"boom" newspapers the town population
"was fully 500. On arriving I found sever
wooden buildings and about twenty tonta
The "population" consisted of a hall
dozen men. The balance had gene on i
vl n to a town thirty miles distant t (
welcome u colony who were to aottli
there. The next day they were back ti
Ullondalo welcoming the colony comiof
there , and made a bustling scone. After

ClUSl'IAH.
' Opened liy Mistake. "
Detroit Free l' ss.
' There ha been a mistake adroadfn

chief clerk's window in thoposloffico yes
terday.
"What is the matter , ma'am ? "
"Why , I called hero on Saturday for o
letter. "
"And I hope you got ono. "
"Yes , sir. Sly husband is in Buffalo ,
yon know , and I've bosn expecting a let
ter from him every day for a fortnight.
Ho was to sand mo some money , you
know , and 1 was on my last shilling
when I got that letter. "
"Well ? "
"Well , sir , I hurried right homo and
opened the letter and out fell a dollar
bill. Just think of a loving husband
sending his loving wife a dollar bill with
which to run the houeo and preserve her
station in society for a whole month. "
"But you put the money in your
pocket and burned the loiter. "
"Ob , no , slrl I throw the bill into
the fire and sot out to road the letter.
It started oil with : "Dear Madam,1 and
then I began to suspect something , na
my husband always calls mo his angel.
And then it wont on to say : 'So you
want a bangle , oh ? Well , take the in
closed and jingle down town and bangle
your old head off and bo hanged to you I' '
Oh , sir , I nearly fainted 1"
"Well ? "
"Wqll , I looked down iittho signature ,
and It was signed 'Slouch. ' Then I saw ,
sir , that it could not bo from my hus
band at all , for it was written from
Chicago , while ho is in Bo Halo. It was
addressed to my name , but it could not
have been for mo. "
The clerk received the letter and care
fully scanned the envelope , and oho
handed him a dollar with the remark :
"Put it in the latter , sir , and write on
the envelope : 'Opened by mistake
dreadful mistake but the opener won't
glvo it away. ' If you can think of any
thing else to soothe the poor woman , put
it on , too "
"Yet , I will. "
"For I know exactly how she'll fool
about ltand I know If my husband should
toll mo to bangle my old head off and
jingle around I wouldn't have any ono
know it for a million dollars. Dear mol
but I'm so sorry , and It was such n mis
take dreadful mistake. "
Four Crippled
Washington Letter to the Philadelphia Preis.
How well I remember what may bo
called the "total cripples" in congreis du
ring the last twenty years. All told , they
number four. First who gave way woa
grand old Thaddous Stevens. Ho was
always lame from an ill-formed foot. I
have heard ho did not walk at all until he
was G years old. Ho always walked with
great difficulty , nov r could walk far , and
during the last few years of his life ( ho
died at 70) ) he could not walk at all. Ev
ery day ho was taken from his homo near
the capltol by two strong colored men in
an easy-chair , which they hoisted on tholr
honldorr , and thus the great commoner
was borne through the streets. Crowds
isod to gather to BOO him pass and rover-
ntly lift their hats. Ho was put down
n his place in the house , and when the
ossion was over ho was taken back to
,1s house and put to bed. Mr. Stevens
iften laughingly spoke of the two colored
arriora as his pall-bearers.
Another helpless cripple was Darwin
, Fiuney , n member for ono term from
leadvHlo , Pa. Ho propelled himself
, bent in a wheel-chair , but his trunk and
ewer limbs were helpless from paralysis ,
, nd he had to bo helped in and out of
, ho house of leproaontatlves. Ho died
.broad. I believe , at about the same
imo as Mr. Stevens died. Oliver P.
Morton , as I think , one of the biggest
men in congress , was another helpless
paralytic. Ho was never out of pain ,
and although a young man ( ha died at
the ago of 54) ) , he was the most depend
ant of mortals in his latter days. Ho ,
too , had to bo carried Into and out of the
enato chamber in a chair. Ho was a
poor man and could ill afford the low
coupe he was obliged to own.
The other helpless statesman of the
'our I alluded to was Alexander H.
Stephens. He was truly a phenomenon.
Built of nothing but skin and bones ho
never weighed while in congress more
than 80 or 100 pounds. Such a little bit
of a thin face , and such skeleton hands
yon never saw. . Yet how bright were
his eyes , and what exhibitions of energy.
His voice was ono of the strongest and
clearest I over hoard , and when ho spoke ,
my masters , wheeling bis chair backward
and forward in the space in Iron4of the
speaker's desk , ho was listened to by the
whole house. He had for a body servant
a young negro G foot 4 inches in height ,
and admirably proportioned. Mr. Steph
ens used to say , chuckling quietly the
while , that ho did not know what bo
would do when "Sam" died. All four of
heso men are now dead. Three of them
certainly were great , and it spoms to mo
that the places of Thad Stevens and Gov
ernor Morton never can bo filled.
Full of Spirit.
"Somo men are always in luck , " ob-
nerved a tramp upon reading that : i man
was drowned in n vat of whisky.
"Water you drinkcn' ' ? " wined ono tramp
0 nnother. "Nothin1 but gin , " was the
response , and they both smiled.
The Chinese emperor drinks very little
ca. TIiLs need not bo surprised A na
tive Kentuckian sometimes drinks very
"ittlo whisky.
If you want to bo a good drunkard you
mist have a face of brn s , nerves of steel ,
lungs of leather , heart of stone and an
incombustible liver.
Gargling the throat with alcohol is said
to bo u preventative ( if diphtheria. And
it s funny to notice how many men are
guarding against diphtheria just now.
"Can you give mo : i glass of water ? "
naked a man as ho 'halted in front of the
nbodo of n rural Kentuckian. "I reckon
so. Hero you , Sal , tote liyiir some
drinkin' water for the stranger. Say ,
mister , what state bo yer froinU"
A Now York reporter has a catalogue
of places where drinks can bo obtained
on Sundays , and the Boston Herald says
it doesn't need a reporter to find them in
Boston. No , indeed , all that is required
is to find the reporter.
Excessive drinking Is said to bo
more dangerous than excessive oatiAg ,
1 always did think the American people
as a whole and Kentucky colonels in par
ticular were very courageous and nnver
hesitated to face any danger.
"It's ' kind of strange , " remarked a re
form man yesterday , "what an influence
force of habit has over a man. Now for
four or five yean after I quit drinking 1
had a whooping old headache the morn
ing of every 5th of July and 26th of
December. All force of habit.
Some spirited admirer of Governor
Cleveland srnthitp a cask of fine old rum
as a present , but he refused it as re-
morieletsly cs he refused that dog. He
evidently believes that while he can get
three-finger drinks at ten cents a piece ,
with a toothpick thrown in , It is hard ! }
worth while putting himself under anj
obligations to any political admirer.

3t. Louis Globo-Domocrat ,
Two accidents recently occurred t3 tele
graph wires in this city indicative of the
iangerotis character of an electric current
rheii it gets out of its channel and starts
ill on rv promiscuous lour. Recently a
jeneral shaking up of the lire alarm ap ] > .v
ratus at the cmiit house , and a rapid dis-
xmnecting of instruments to prevent seri-
itts accident , was occasioned by n Brush
ilectric wire crossing a fire alarm who on
Seventh mid Franklin nvemie. Thu
Brush wires were covered with insulating
Material to prevent accidents , but in
his instance the material was burnt
nto and n sheet cf ( lamp several feet
eng Hashed out at the point of connoc-
ion , and if there had boon any coin-
lustiblo material near a fire would have
ccurrod. The current was carried over
, ho fire-alarm wire and n great damage
irovcntod only br prompt action in dis-
lonnecting the wires. On another oo *
aeion the wires of the same company
became crossed with a private wire , run
ning from No. G engine house to the
? ost-Dispatch office , which burned out
ho telegraph apparatus in both build
ings and came near causing tbo death of
m attache of the engine house. The
board of public Improvements has under
taken to regulate the construction of
wires , and has provided n system of rnloi
which constltuto a part of the conditions
under which permits to lay wires are IB-
mod. Thoae rules , after defining what
ihall bo the capacity of conductors , lays
down the following in regard to liisula-
'ion :
All vrlrca , machines and lamps to bo
10 mounted and secured as to insure com-
loto and continuous Insulation , with the
ixcoption of those parts ( such as portions
if the lamps of machines , for example )
where insulation is imposilblo , and in
.his case accidental contact with exterior
ibjocts must bo prevented by appropriate
croons of the like , j In no cose must
ground circuits" bo employed or any
portion bo allowed to come into conduct
ing connection with the earth tnrough
water or gas-pipes or otherwise. Exposed
wires must bo covered with ut least two
loatiugs , ono of insulating material next
.ho wire , of a thickness and material ap
proved by the board , and another out-
lido of this , of a material calcu
lated to protect the former from
tbrasion or other mechanical injury.
Where there is a possible exposure to
water , the first or second Coating must bo
mporvious to that fluid. Wherever
ilectrlcity is carried into a building by
Conductors from an exterior source a
cut-out" must bo provided at a point
a near as possible to the ontranca to
uch building. The out-going and re-
urnlng wires for arch lights should enter
, nd leave each building at points at least
mo foot from each other. The wircb
laaaing through the exterior walls of a
luilding should bo firmly encased in
ubstantial tubes of non-conducting
material , not liable to absorb moisture ,
and placed in such a manner as to prevent
rain-water from entering the building
along the wire. In running along walla
and the like , wires should bo rigidly at
tached to the same by non-conducting
'aatonings ( the wires themselves being
well insulated ) , and should not bo hunp ;
from projecting insulators in loose loops.
All wires should bo placed at a distance
of eight Inches for arc lights , and two
and one-half inches for incandescent
ights , from each other , and whenever
they approach any circuit or ground con
nection , they must ba rigidly secured and
separated from the same by some contin
uous Eolld non-conductor , such as dry
wood of at least one-halt inch in thick
ness. All joints in wires must bo made
in such a manner as to secure a perfect
and durable contact. Continuous wires
( without joints ) to bo used as far as pos
sible.
INDIAN BILL'S BRIDE.
AJlomanco ofKoal Life That Futs
Fiction to the Blusb.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
To the average individual in the eastern
states a , life in the far west , with nil of its
constant excitement has a glamor about it
of moro than ordinary interest. The
average youth delights in surreptitious
moments with the yellow covered tail of
the buckskin- clad hero who kills a half-
ilonen Indian braves with an almost im-
pcrceptablo effort , and the exposition of
life upon the plains by Buffalo Bill is al
ways sure to attract an enthusiastic audi
ence. 1 ho characters in the romance of
western life ate almost invariably men.
It is seldom that : v heroine figures in
them. Women as n whole would inter
pose a mild objection to a life upon the
trail nnd nights in camp upon the plains.
There , is , however , an actress now play
ing in Rochester , whoso history embraces
three years of Mich a life. The story is a
romatie ono , and yesterday she consented
to tell it to n rcpoituc of the Democrat
and Chronicle.
Pearl Duncan , ono of the Duncan sis
ters , began a life behind the footlights
while very young. She attained a fnir
measure of success , and lias played in most
of the leading cities of the United Sta es.
Three yearsngo she was on a western tour
and played in many of the lending western
cities. Finally oho reached Pueblo , Col.
While playing there oho was shot by a
Spaiiiard nnd laid up for se-veral weeks.
While sick she mndo the acquaintance of
"Indian Bill. " Indian Hill was a cele
brated character of the west , and many
stories concerning him arc still afloat
throughout tno country. 13o Was a typi
cal bonier man , and , when in n bar room
fight with cowboy * , n skirmish with
Indians upon the jila'ns ' , or week after
week in the saddle upon the trail , ho ws
always there , and had a faculty of being
at homo in any emergency , however c.iti-
cal nnd dangerous , tlo nursed the young
actress in her illness and strangely enough
an attachment sprang up between them
which soon became an ardent love. A
few days after her recovery they were
married , nnd Miss Duncan left a life upon
the Btago for n life upon the trail w.tli
"Indian Bill "
Immediately after their marriage the
actrots threw up her engagement and
started out upon the plains with her hus
band , unhandsome , athletic follow , dash
ing in his manner , always biavo and fear
less , but the last man in the world the
average person would imagine the pretty
actress would select for a husband.
Then began a new life. There was no
transition from the two existences upon
the stage and plains ; but the young wife
bravely endured privations and hardship !
of every kind with her husband. She
made numberless journeys acrors the
plains , and under the tuition of Indian
Bill became an expert horsewoman , Slit
carried a title and In Its use she seer
attained an unusual proficiency , NIghti
she spent upon the prairie in a tent pro
vided for her , carried upon a pack mule
- Strangely enough she liked the nave
I life. Intatuatsd with her husband , whi
bore for her n love , strangely toudor in a
nature as rough AS his , she was content
o always bo at his side. She was the
inly woman in thsla camp , composed of
ilghteen men.
At DnrnuRo aho was n witness to a
fight between cowboys and miners in
which seven were hilled. In relating
lomo of the things oho had done , the
aiighlngly told the reporter that aho
jtico had climbed the pinnnclo of fame
by shooting n coyote. Tholr little camp
was once attacked by the Utos , in the
trouble which arose with that trlbo two
yi > ars ago when they wore driven from
their reservation. Trouble nlao once
iroso with a camp of Mormono near Du >
augo. But on the whole their Hfo passed
moolhly.
Finally Indlon Bill and his a'ctroes
brldo aottled in La Platte canon , near the
' .Irckica. Iloro bill staked out a claim
.nd . began mining. Soon ho struck n four
'oot vein of silver , nnd his suctoss waa the
> nvy of the camp. Some other minors
riod to jump his claim. Alight ensued.
Bill at last was shot and four days later
died in the arms of his nifo in the little
cabin ho hau bnlldcd for her.
Immediately upon his death n doputa-
ion of minors called upon the widow nnd
declared their willingness to lot her keep
her husband's claim on condition that nha
marry ono of the minors. If she would
not , they gave her two hours In which'to
"cave. She choose the later alternative
, nd two hours later was on her way to
Durango. She returned to her homo in
ilayville , on Ohautauqua Like , and in
iVugnst last once moro turned to the
itage , making her first reappcarnnco in
Harry Minor's bowery theater. She
lays , however , that the stage h&s lost all
'accinatioua for her , and is becoming dls-
tvitoful. When the uows of Indian Bill's
death wan published , the more fact of his
ictrcsa-wifo waa mentioned , but this ia
.ho first appearance of the story ; a strange
no , indeed , n.ndlng moro like the pages
if a novel than an olpsodo of real lifo.

Drunk
lonvcltuid Loader.
Porhapa the most disgraceful sccno in
our history as a republic was the dny of
Lincoln's second inauguration , when
Andrew Johnson , the vice president
elect , made a maudlin , drunken speech
before the loading men of this country
Hid the representatives of nearly every
orolgn nation of prominence. An old
enator told mo to-night how this came
o be. Said he : "Andrew Johnson waa
accustomed to drinking , but ho seldom
took moro than bo could conveniently
and sensibly carry. While governor of
Tennessee ho used to keep a bottle of
whiskey in a covered wnahatand in his
office , and I hive : taken several drinks
with him there. Ho would ralao the
2ovor , take a drink and oiler ouo to mo.
Still thia was a common custom in the
outh , and Johnson was not looked upon
aa a drinking man in Tennessee. I do
not think ho often took moro than enough
for hirnselt at Washington. Aa to hla
drunkenness-at his inauguration to which
Sumner so sarcastically alluded on the
aenato floor , John W. Forney told mo
how it occurred. Forney waa clerk of
the aenato at that timo. Ho said that
Johnson had been drinking the night
bofoi'o the inauguration with a lot of
Trlenda at the Metropolitan hotel , and as
is usual in such casea ho arose the next
morning with a bad tarto In his month
and no appetite. The result was that
ho started up the capitol without
breakfast , and when ho got there
ho was very weak and ho looked wan and
haggard. Ho came into the aenato and
asked Mr. Forney if ho could not get
him n drink of whisky. Forney replied
yes , and went and brought in a bottle
of old Kentucky bourbon. Johnson took
this and poured a goblet half full , while
Forney's eyes grow largo in surprise na
ho gulped it down. This alone would
have been enough to have made an or
dinary man drunk , but it waa not enough
for Vice-President Johnson. Ho filled
the glass half full again and threw it in
upon his empty stomach , Ho then
walked off acroas the room , and
he only staggered a little as
ho took hla place beside President
Lincoln in front of the assemblage
of cabinet secretaries , foreign ministers ,
and others. When it came tlmo to take
his oath and the book was handed him to
kits , ho waved it aside with his hand and
began to make a speech. What ho said
was never reported in the papers , but it
must have been very funny. Ho took
each of the secretaries to task and gave
them instructions. Ho addressed the
foreign ministers , and though Forney
tried to pull him down by holding his
coat-tails behind , ho would not stop , but
wont on. President Lincoln was , aa
were all the Americana pressnt , grieved
by the occurrence , and Abe Lincoln siid :
M hope this will prove a lesson to Andy. ' "

ilugllah line will have oppoiitu it ono In
Spanish , moaning the same thing. Two
loplos nro made of each treaty.
These copies differ only in one respect
n the copy given to the AmiMicaii gov-
irnmcnt by the Spanish the American
government always precedes tin- Spanish
government , where the two patties to the
ntcriiational contract ntis mentioned , and
n the copy _ given to the government of
Spain , Spain is mentioned before Amcii-
. This is a matter of international
t quetto , based on the same principle of
laying "you and I , " instead of " 1 and
on. One of the original treaties , and
lot a copy , is sent to the senate , nnd , if
t is approved , the president ntlixus a
iroclamation of ratification to it. For
.his a now copy is made , but the ratilicn-
1011 proclamation i.s also affixed to the
reaty.
Treaties are generally made on long ,
Ido paper of the finest quality. Ono
which 1 saw to-day hnd only water lines ,
ipon which the words were written , and
t was gotten up very stylishly. A line
was drawn around each page , leaving a
wide margin on every eido , and another
'mo separated the tire languages running
'own the middle. It was bound with
luo ribbons , and those were sealed with
ho seals of the ministers. Where the
'resident ' ratified the treaty , was the
.roatacnl of the United Statcu. The
rootles which this country makes with
'oreign governments are kept in the
archives of the state department in big
manilla envelopes , carefully labeled. 1
