Mr lutton commanded the expedition, which consisted of fifty-seven men, six women, nine chil dren, twenty-two wagons, ten horses and 167 head of cattle. The party started from home March 11. ISO. of their experiences In the Missouri valley and vicinity the Jnurnel says: "We arrived at the Nlahnab An. May 1 It Is a small and pretty trHin and is about fifty miles from St. Francis. There ate speckled trout in this stream and the pralrl-s are very large all through here. This Is on the North Furk. the South r'ork being twenty mile distant. There 1 an old Indian town here of the same name but there Is no one here now but about nine families of Mormons. It is a very pretty country, and I think, a healthy one.'

The only post of floe near hrre la the Mormon town. Kanesvllle. Kanesvllle Is a small place, but the business done would astonish you. Just at this time (May 12) five or six auctioneers are holding sales, and property sells well. A great many come here to buy their out fits. Pome sell out and hire their passage through and some back out because of funds running out" Crosstna; the Mlsaoarl, The party crossed the Mtesourl river "at the old Mormon ferry, which is distant twelve miles from Kanesvllle," and the locality, now Florence, Is thus described: 'There was a willow shade on the bank at the ferry beneath which a seller or hot stuff had set up shop. As this was the last chalice, some- of our - boys soon felt finely. Several oompanlea were on the bank waiting for their turn to cross, and as the last load (I was on board) of our company shoved off from shore some one on the bank proposed three cheers for the departing company, and there went up three deafening 'hurrahs.' "There are a few log houses tiers at the river where the Mormons wintered one season In the Nebraska or Indian terri tory and It goes by the name of 'Winter Quarters.' I mention this for the reason thst the instances on this road are all measured from that point. The Mormons measured the distance from there to the Bait LAke by means of a 'Roadometer' and therefore all the crooks and turns In Uie road are measured and this is one reason why It Is so far. We drove six miles from winter quarters and stopped uutll morning." Life In Nabrasaa, Various Interesting notes are mads of the trip through Nebraska. "On the 19th." says the Journal, "we drove to the Elk-, horn and ferried and corral ed around the liberty pole put up by the Mormons some years ago. We make a corral In this way: At night ws form our wagons In a circle and put the tongue of each wagon up on the hind end of the wagon In front of It. A chain Is run from the' hind end. board of one to the fore end of the next wagon. We lave a place large enough to drive In the cattle and In this way we ysrd them Then we stretch a rope aoross the entrance, and the corral la finished. In this way we often get along with only three walclimen. U la necessary to keep guard all the time, and when we herd the tattle It srneially takes five men. "The country from here on la as level as any land 1 ever saw. . This Is the Platte bottoms; very low. but the road was good. "We followed up the Platte without any trouble until we came to Looking ilasa creek, a stream that enters Into the Loup i fork, lint on I'.ie nivht of the l'Uh and 1 again ihe eninK "f th" d we had v-ry htavy thunder sllnWers and consequently when we arrlvtd al the creeU on the lid we foiled It ver much swollen and the bridge fcotie. Wo :hei'foie had to stop and coir.tl at 12 o'clock and proceed 10 build a bridge bl feet lout. We had it ready to crua 011 :he next morning, having plenty of heip frcm the companies In the same fix. 'I her" wen mauy rwneea along the road Ironi the Klkhoru to this stream, ami great bergars they are, too. Ford las His, atreaais. "After crossing this stream we went about eight miles and formed a corral. on the bank of Beaver river. Here we were again aaterbound, and built, not a wire. but a brush usenslon bridge. There was some flood trash collected in the middle of ' twenty acres and was walled In with tne stream, and using this for a pier we felled some willows onto It from each shore. We then cut brush and laid across the Willows thick enOUKh SO that nnlrf haul our wagons over by hand. Our cattle we swam over to the west bank where we remained over night. There were six other companies corraled there, also, and In all there were 804 men, twenty-four women. twenty-one children, 920 head of cattle, seventy-three horses and 154 wagons. "Sunday, tne 25th. we traveled about six miles and forded the Loup fork of the Platte at a point 1334 miles from winter quarters. ' We bad to raise our wagon boxes eight Inches to clear the water and had to drive very crooked and keep moving to prevent our wagons from sinking in the quicksand. Several wagons belonging to other companies were stalled and nearly upset In consequenoe of the sand washing out from under one side faster than the other. But the wagons were quickly got out; otherwise they would have soon been under the water. "Wild, onions were plenty from the Elk horn here, growing In some places as thick as they could stand. The country from Winter Quarters here Is almost destitute of timber. There are some willows and cot tonwoods (although but few) along the creeks and the Platte. Suoh of these trees as there are along the Platte, or Loup fork are mostly on the Islands. It Is a very flat country, but pretty prairie. Indian Relics. "We came past some old Pawnee villages that were destroyed by the Sioux In the fall of 1846. Their main town covered about turf wall. Ilut the Sioux hud taken them by surprise In the night and burned their town and massacred a great many of its Inhabitants. Their bones lay about In every direction, and there were also a great many buffalo skulls that look as If the buffaloes were killed about the same time as the Indian. I suppose the Pawnees had trespassed upon the Sioux hunting grounds, and that Is what the fuss originated from. "The chief of the Pawnees came out to the road to see us. He was the best look ing Indian of his tribe. He had on a silver medal on one side of which was inscribed "Peace and Friendship" showing also a tomahawk and pipe and two hands firmly clasped. "On the other side was a head of James Madison with an inscription reading, "A. D. 1S03." He was a young man and this medal has doubtless been handed down from chief to chief. "Close by their town that was destroyed was a large piece of breaking that I sup pose was done for them by the govern men when they were moved there. I saw an old Peacock plow near. But their ground Is now deserted and they now live farther down the river and on the opposite side. "May 28th we saw the first prairie dog city. They are much smaller than I ex pected, being about the size of a large grey prairie ground squirrel. In color they are between a gopher and a prairie grey squir rel. They renemble a dog but very little. They keep up an awful barking as you approach them, but never bark until they are right over their holes ready to dive In. When barking their motion Is something like a small dog. but their bark docs not in the leuHt resemble the bark' of a dog. I have seen a tract as large as 200 acres quite thickly covered with their houses, which are, In fact, nothing but a small heap of dirt with a hole In the top. There are in Texas, I am told, a much larger kind which much more resembles the dog." The party reached Fort Laramie June 13, the ."alt Lake valley July 23, and the town of Weaver, the first one In California, September 1. FACTS ABOUT PARIS SHOPGIRLS Capable aud Ambitious Ciuas, More Energetic Than the Average t;trl. The Paris shopgirl, or mtdlnette as she Is called, who has recently been oieating something of a disturbance by her strike, Is a much more ambitious person than her sixter in England, reports a woman In the New York American. The proprietors of some of the larger establishments, which employ as many as TOO girls, have built hostels, where It Is compulsory for their employes to live. One that I visited was about a mile away from the shop and had a charming dining and rest-room. "Are you obliged to take all your meals here?" I asked a girl who spoke excellent Kngllxh. "Oh, no," she answered, "but as a matter of fact we do, because the food is better and cheaper; we are allowed an hour and a half for dinner." Of course such a thing as a Saturday or any other half holiday Is unheard of; everybody, however, has a fortnight's holi day In the year with pay. Until quite re cently a great many of the shops remained open on Sunday morning, but this Is be coming rare aud only happens in some of the suburbs or In the' small shops employ ing one or two girls. It Is in these places that the hardships arise. In all the large establishments on the boulevards a knowledge of at least one other language besides French Is almost a necessity If any position above a me it "runner" (a girl who carries messages from one department to another) Is to be obtained. The Paris employer has not the English man's objection to marriage on Uie part of his employes; It tends, he thinks, to steadi ness, and I made the acquaintance of sev eral "mademoiselles" married to men In other departments of the. same establish ment. One graceful young lady who spoke excellent English and German confided In me that she had a "Jolle petite bebe" and that her husband was manager of the pro vision department. "1 have been here five years," she said, "and when I married a year and a hulf ago the managers gave me a present." She said her mother, who lived In a neigh boring flat, took charge of the baby while she was absent. Most French shopgirls expect to work after marriage; they seem to take it as a matter of course, unlike the English girl, who rarely looks forward to more than five or six years at her work, Intending to give It all up as soon as she Is married. On my remarking thst one of my Inform ants spoke English well she told me that the firm that employed her (one of the largest In the city) supplied an English Group of Enthusiastic Young Amateur Musicians .- ... ti SI ? -V? 1 i t-ur v 9 0 Hi xrh :' if J.I ! 1 A Li- teacher who visited the hostel on thre evenings In the week, attendance at the classes being voluntary. An examination was held at the end of the term and tha "prize" consisted In a six-months' free visit to England in order to perfect herself In English. It was amazing to hear the different lan guages which were sp-iki-n In that shop or "store." Paris Is the shopping center of the world and everyone seems to expect to find his own language spoken to him. Strange to say, a great many Russians come to Paris to have their furs made up or to buy others. An assistant speaking excellent Russian Is forthcoming; one of the men speaks Japanese, and I saw busi ness being transacted in the deaf and dumb alphabet. The munager told me that a Norwegian lady and geutleman had Just made large purchases. Their French whs elementary, but that was of no consequence, as the telephone soon summoned the assistant competent to converse with them in their own language. instances In Paris are so much smaller than In London that many "assistants" aia able to live at home of course the estab lishment of a hostel such as la described above Is en exception. I learned thai al most all Paris shopgirls are Parisennos: it Is most unusual for girls from the coun try to seek situations in the city. In a llule sldo street of one of ths boulevards I paid a call on a rirl employed. In one of the smaller shops, h'he wax resd. lug an English book, while her mother, In a white apron and the neat blue dress of the peasant, was putting the finishing touches lo some elegant frills of lace she was a washerwoman.
