Our first camp in Diicotali was pitched one,’
half mile over the boundary line, upon ii. iii
sing knoll of ground. 'and. Within sight of a
stream of running water. Before us, far as
the eye could send, stretched the prairie,
boundless .as the sea, with-here and there a
clump of trees which, seen through the haze
tit encompassed, us, bore a strong resem-
blance to islands in an ocean of blue. Behind
us were the Coteaux, their summits curtalned‘
in the-vapory mists and below us was'the'
stream. _ Nearly all the .. members. -.of the
party enjoyed the luxury Of a bath, in' a peel:
of the stream, which seemed to have been
carved out of . the banks for a bathing place.
Meanwhile our photographer, 8. ~ brisk little
fellow and a'capital artist as well as a genial
companion, busied himself in securing views
of the camp and its surroundings. Our pur-
veyor, too, was in his element, Entertaining us

the plains and acrossthe Isthmus. -Of course
one-half the 'wild adventures were the crea-
tions of his own imagination, but the laugh
which followed was none theless hearty:
Next mormh'g,vahilé‘the party on duty for
the day were breaking camp preparatory to a
renewal of the march, a. trio of us ascended
the elevation in- {riot-it} for an oritlook of
our route. The Coteaux,‘ovérwhich we were
to travel and which were before us in every.
direction, , were 4. a} succeséion of elevations,"
traversing the-eastern portion'of the territory
and attaining an average height of three hun-
dred feet above the levelof the prairie. They»
are commonly rounding at the top, though at
fiat. Out from the eastward ridge called
Coteau des Prairie proceed several spurs or
ramifications ranging'in extent, elevation and
course, so as to determine the hydi-ographical
basins of all the innumerable lakes which so
peculiarly characterize this section of coun-
try. Occasionally these elevations would
group themselves together as a circle between
which would be a basin, supporting the rich-
est grasses and flowers in endless profusion.
The soil for the entire distance through these
hillsis far above what=miglltbe expected. On
the‘ridges it is a thin, pulverized dust, and
here the grasses are light. It deepened as we
descended, and in the basins is a rich calcer-
Ous mound,mellow€and spongy and admirably
adapted for grazing.“ Throughout the'entire
country are scattered an innumerable number
of lakes, most of them wholly isolated from
each other and having no apparent outlet or
source of supply except the drainage Of the
surrounding hills. They are distinguished
by marked difference in contour,being some-
times of a circular, sometimes of an oval,-
sometimes of a cresent form, but oftenJ’Of a

generally swampy, containing fields ofwild:

with aquatic plants. The water is warm-and

Etraveled all the afternoon, keeping a sharp
:lookout for'Indians. The country "traveled
iover was very rocky, and our progress neces-
Qsarily slow. Cactus in full bloom and of large
‘growth were in abundance. Towards four
io'clock Indians were seen simultaneously on
{three sides of us, hiding behind the rocks
:and watching us closely, and we continued
'to see them until we reached ourevcning halt-
fing place. It was nearly seven o‘clock when
we came to a large lake of beautiful blue wa-
ter. As the'march had been along one and
the afternoon somewhat sultry, more than
one of the party started for the lake to slake
ibis thirst. One out-distancing the rest, and
calling in no proxy of tin cup to aid him in
isaluting the sparkling medium, stooped down
‘and kissed the water. Instantly his greeting
iturued to )oathing—thc water was 9.1-
kali. Here was disappointment indeed, near-
ly sundown, our thirst almost unbearable.
“Water, waferjeverywhere,
But not a drop to drink.”
To add to our discomforture the announce-
‘ment \vas made that a party 0 dians were
coming down a gully one-half rilxle'awayamd
all were ordered back to the wagons. Upon
‘a nearer approach we saw that there were but
a dozen of them, pobrly mounted and in no
respect formidable. They proved to be
zfriendly, found an old friend in “Joe,” and
'after plentcous hand-shaking escorted us to
their own encampment a mile away and near
:to a lakelet of atl st tolerably good water,
gwhere within fistone's throw of llleii'
‘village we passed the night. The next morn-
finglbcfoi'e we were up, they were at the camp
.; in accordance with the request of our artist
;"to come over and have their pictures taken.”
:While the mysterious preparations were mak-
ing. lively bidding went on among them for
ichoiee of position. One of the ragabrash in
a most unsavory blanket of many colors,

grouped themselves about him. By the time
3the pictures were taken, the camp was ready
3to move, and having taken the address of the
.frowsy individual—him of the many colored
blanket, and having promised to send him the
negative for his approval, we continued our
journey northward. Toward noon we passed
through the reservation farm and saw corn
{fully two feet ‘high. The Indians upon this
reservation are the Wahpeton and Sisseton
Sioux.- They numbered about five thousand
all told and occupy a belt of country abOut
Lake Traverse and Big Stone and extending‘
westward to within a short distance of Fort
'Wadsworth. They are - nearly self-support-
'» ural pursuits. Just before noon wepassed
the post of ,a trader who came out to the
train accompanied by three large Yankton
Sioux apparently just from the war pilth.
They were treacherous-looking fellows. One
being entirely naked and the others nearly so.
A bracelet on his right arm and a white hat
on his head constituting his only covering.
To my salutation of “How,” be granted out
a response, and holding up two scalps, one
evidently that of a woman, added, “Heap
kil .” Thése Indians all desire a change.
The present Indian policy has made thgn too
respectable, and under the government of tlQ
faithful Snake agents life has become too
tame for them. One of them expressed his
disgust of - it in the following strain : -“What
you white man want get ‘em here why no
stay home. Agent play much devil with In-
dian. Make him heap good. Him make
squaw heap much good. Indian go country
much kill." _
Sunshine and clear skies end as even the
pro Noachians discovered. The sensation of
meeting Indians gathering cacti entertained
us one 'day, bounteons nature was to provide
us‘ novelty for the next. Sunday night
we camped by the side of a stagnant inkelet.
The location was anything but pleasant but
had to be home, as there was no water nearer
.-. s- »—t
of leaden clouds had lifted its head above the
horizon, which lasevcning came on space
grew darker and rose slowly up the sky, the
air changed and chill mutterings of distant
thunder began to be heard and out. of the
clouds would dart the lightning revealing
with each flash the dreary loneliness about us.
Everything betokened the oncoming storm.
Trcnchés were dug around the tents to pre-
Vent the water from “backing up," wall pins
were tightened, and with the assurance that-
the codfish and corn bread which had been
carefully prepared for a sumptuous breakfast
had been safely housed, we. returned to the
folds of our blankets,'but not to sleep long
undisturbed. ‘ One hour thereafter we were
awakened by the wild tumult of the storm..
The rain falling in sheets had soakedthrough
the canvas, to that theitent was filled with'a
fine mist. The Wind blew in gusts with such
fury that every thing seemed to be given
over to it. It assaulted the tent so furi-
ously that the canvas snapped and cracked
incessantly. The storm grew. 'wilder and
wilder, and with my companions, who had
'by'tliis time hurried. on their clothing,
we prepared to defend our canvas house to
i the last. Grasping the tent poles and bracing
ourselves against the canvas we battled for
the victory, and for a time with success. The
wind had become a hurricane, and swayed
and swung the dripping canvas like a play-
thing. but still .9. frame stood firm. The
struggle was soon, however, to be decided.
A furious blast assaulted us, the pins: were
torn up, the tent reeled, but shivering and
wet through we still held on. It availed us
nothing; the ridgepole loosened, the canvas
'w__as caught up and rolled inside out, and in
a twinkling our house, which we had built

in ‘the' storm. Looking about us through “the,
‘lightning’s red glare,” we discovered all down
; save the Lieutenant's,adjoining. While part of
us made abreak for the wagons, two of us
crawled into this, where a ludicrous sight
’met our eyes. ‘ Standing in their. "robes du
Enuit” were-the lieuteilints " Howe and Kim-
ball, holding to the poles with all their might,
their bodies at an angle of forty-five degrees,
bare headed and bare footed, the water drip-
’piiig all around them, but plucky .and deter-
mined to hold out to the last, cheering each
other with such talismanic cries as “hold on,”
“‘she’s most over.” With our additional. help
they weathered the storm, butn sorry-looking
'set we were. However, there was no help
for it.‘ The tempest abatiug we smoked our-
:sélv'esinto good humor, and. 'o'fiering'a libao
tion as a peace offering to the angry demon
of the gale, laid down in our Wet blankets till
Ethe morning. Arousing at daylight not much
the worse for the wetting, and reconnoitering
iwe found tents, beds, bedding and clothing
gsoppy and bedragglcd, the. wood wet, and
'our utensils de cuisine imbedded in the prairie
mud. With difliculty we fished them out
and kindled a fire, after several futile efforts,
and had our breakfast of codfish balls and
corn bread in spite of the storm, and a good
one it proved too, Half a morning of bright
sunshine dried our clothing and blankets
and put us in trim for traveling, and‘ere noon
we were camped on Kettle Lake within sight
‘of Fort Wadsworth. Here we were glad-
'dened with the sight of white men again,
and shades of mother Eve defend us, white
Women too. ' The Fort was garrisoned by two
companies of theTwenticth'U. S. Infantry,
under command ‘of Major. York. He and
Captain McHaugbt exchanged civilities with
'us. and after a visit to the garrison and ob-
taining fresh supplies, :we pushed; on and. just
at nightfall? biv'ouacked- ou Clear ,Lake and
hard by the ruins of a government 'stockade
build by General Sibly’s forces while in their
pursuit of the Sioux in 1864. Myriads of
wild ducks flew out of the lake as we halted,
and ere the fire was kindled our hunters had
supplied us with enough for supper, which
we roasted on sticksbeforc the fire. A sound
sleep prepared as for the march of the mor-
row, and at night we encampcd between the
lake of the Twin Sisters, having accomplish-
ed a rriarch of thirty-six miles since day
break. The next day at noon we halted for
dinner on the banks of the Wild Rice River,
and 4 o’clock crossed the Bois des Sioux at
Breckenridge,”just fifteen“ days from New
Ulm. For the last six miles of our route in
‘Dacotah we passed the houses of several set-
tlers in various stages of construction. At
Breckenridge we took leave of Joe and our
teams, which were to return overland to New
Ulm. And‘ here our trip virtually ended.
Desolation now reigns supreme over the en-
tire country from Lake Kampuka, but we
have only to grasp the possibilities of the fu-
ture to discern the rich agricultural develop-
ments of the prairies.
Nothing Lost by Christian Charity
One of those toil-hardened, true-hearted
chaps we often read Of in romance made his
appearance on the Campus Martins yesterday
and his sympathies were at once aroused by
the sight Of three or four Old men standing
around with their buck-saws and waiting for
work.
‘ I’ll belianged if it isn't tough," he replied,
when they told him that they hadn’t had any
work for a month. “How would you like
some oysters 'i” '
They smacked their lips by way of reply,
and he gathered up a crowd of eight, march-
ed them to a restaurant and ordered oyster
stews for each one.
“It just does my soul good to see them
eat !” lie said_to the owner 0f,tlie place as the
eight got to work.
“Yes ; it’s a beautiful sight," was the re-
ply.
“‘It makes me feel good 'in here,” con:
tinued the stranger, laying his hand on his
heart.
“A good deed brings its civil reward,” was
the soft answer of' the restaurateur, as he cal-
culated his profits. ‘ -
“I can’t rest here. I must do further
good.” said the big-hearted stranger, and be
rushed out and brought in three negroes, a
chimney-sweep, two boys and an old woman
and ordered more oysters. '
The fifteen people went for oyster soup in
a manner to amaze, and their guardian nudg-
ed the restaurateur in the ribs and said.
*“See the gentle lambs! Oh, that 1 could
feed the poor of all America I".
“You are a good man, and lieaven will re-
ward you,” replied the proprietor, as be filled
the dishes up again.
The stranger said he wanted to bring five
more, so as to say he had fed an even score,
and be rushed out after them. while the
restaurateur sent after more oysters and
crackers. The stranger didn’t return. He
was last seen climbing into a farmer's sleigh
on State street and guiding his team to the
west. The fifteen in the restaurant licked
their plates clean and departed in joyful pro-
cession, and the last one had passed out be-
fore the man who furnished the soup had got
through waiting for the return .of the big-
hearted stranger. There were oaths and
slang phrases and watchwords and expres-
sions, delivered in the purest of English, but
what mattered it to the fifteen soup.devour-

HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW.
BY W. A. OBOI-‘UT.
He made a daily paper’s jokes,
The boss of paragraphic makes,
.Yet, when alone, he thus invokes
His mother-iri-law:
“ Who ran to raise me when Itfell,
That night I couldn’t find the bell,
’N’ the keyhole skipped around like—well,
My mother-in-law.
e
“ Who frekently pulled down my vest,
An' laid apoultlceon my chest,
An’ dosed me till I couldn’t rest?
My mother-iir-law
:“ Who often wiped off my chin,
Got Em’ly to forgive my sin,
An’ sot me on my legs agin?
My muzzer-ln—law.
“Who—who—wait—harkl—I’m pretty sure—
N o ’taint—’s a rat—here's let a drink to ’er,
Honest and faithful, though she’s poOr— '
My muth-inJawi
“Who—tip it up, I’ll sing (hie !) song—
Who's alluz helpin’ me along
An’ meddlin’ with my doin’ wrong 7
My muzz-in-law.
“ Who, wen I drift f’m bad to wuss
An' carr’ on like a crazy cues,
I alluz roun’ (hie l)mskin' it fills?
My muthin-law ?
“ Who—who-I hate ’er juss fer zatl
Fer pickin’ me, up wen I am fiat—
Con (hie 1) fusion to ze ole witch-cat,
Mimozz-r-lin-law.
. “ I wish she’d go t’ (hie !) Texas, sir!
I’d be jess happ' ’f twan't fer her,
House izh too shmall fer me’n fer
My (hie-hue) mull-in-law!
“ If she shtays roun’ (hie !) I’ll be undone l
Wait—wot’s 'er name? Le’s make a punt
Whoop! (hie l) she’ll give us lots _0’ fun—
My molzer (ep)-lin-rawl ”
Next day she found him on the flag
And bound his headwith amoistened rag,
(For it felt like the brow of Brobdingag;)
.Tlien down to his desk he managed to drag
And made a joke, the jovial wag,
A “stunner"—about “that meddling hag
My mother-in-law.”

Love in the Kitchen.
“ Now,Mr.Malone, whin yer spakin’ like that,
It is aisy to see—arrah, git out o' thatl '
Whin discoorsin’ wid ladies politeness should
tache ' .
That yer not to use hands, sir, instid ov yer
spaehe ’
Should the missus come down, sir, how would
I appear ‘
Wid me hair all bewildered it" .
_ ‘ “0h, Kitty, my dear,
Yer pardon I ax, but yer mouth is so sweet,
It’s a belthei' acquaintance I’ll! seekin’ wid it;
An’ I love you so-fonly—begorrm'it’a thrust—
That I’m always unaisy unless I’m wid you;
And thin I'm unaisy as bad as before,
An' there’s nothin’ ’ll aise me at all any more
Until yer betrothal I’ve get, and, belied,
I’ll not let ye go till yer promise I’ve had." '
“It’s just likeyer impidence, Mr. Malone!"
“Ye can’t call it impidint, Kitty, ohone,
Furs man to bevlov'in' the likes O’ yer-self ;-
An’ ye might marry worse, if I Say it’meself,
Fur me heart is yer own, an’ me wages is
800d.
' An’ I know ov a brick cabin built out ov
wood, ,
To be had fur the asln'n’ 0v Dennis McCue;
Fur he’s goin’ to lave it, an’ thin it'll (h), _
Wid some fixin an' mendin’ to keep out the
air, .
An’ abit ov a board to patch up here an’ there
An’ a-thrifie ov mud to discourage the cracks—-
An’ we’ll make up in lovin' whatever it lacks;
An’ it’s built on a rock, with a mighty fine
view
0v the country serroundin’ that same avinew;
- An’ to be quite ginteel an' extension we’ll rig,
Convanient for keepin’ an illigint pig;
An’ thin we’ll both prosper as note as ye plaze;
An’ ye’ll see me an aldherman some of thou
days; ’ '
An’ the ehildher will grow up wid schoolin’
‘ an’ sich; ‘ . .
An’ ip politics thin they’ll be sure to get rich
Oh, this is the land for improvin the race 1
So, Kitty, mavorneen, turn round yer dear
face,
An’ give us one kiss the bethrothal to own.”
.“The’ divil abit ov it, Teddy Malone!
Do ye think I’d be loving a house of brown
stone - ,
_Fur the tumble-down shanty yer talking about
While I live like a ’lady, wid two evenin’s
out, ,
An’ a wardrObe I flatter meself is complete ?
Shure yer couldn’t tell missus from me on the
athreet;
An’ at home it's the same, for she’s fond ov,
_ her aise,
An’ yelcouldn’t say which of us bosses the
, -place ; 4 '
An it’s like yer ashurance to ask me to lave,
An’ be the saline token-now will ye behave 7
Let go me hand, sir l”
‘ . .
. “But, Kitty, my dear
Ye can’t be intindin, to always live here,
Wid never a husband, but mopin’ alone,
Aii’ never a baby"—
“ Whisht, Mr. Malone!
Yer very onman‘nerly,"
. “Divil a wan l
It's only the truth that I’m tellin', indade,
That yer niver intindin’ to die an old maid." ~
"‘It's right ye are, Teddyy how could‘yo
know this i”' . ‘ .
“Well, thin, will it plaze ye to give
me the
kiss 7’” .
“Git out wid your blarney, shure how can I
tell
. But there might be another would suit me as
well i" .
“ Arrah, Kitty, me 'darlin', don’t say that
ngin’, _ . '
If ye wouldn’t be kilhn’ the thruest of min ;
But if there’s another ye love morethan me,
Then it’s faithless ye are, an’ it’s goin' I’ll be,
An’ I’ll the broken hearted for lack ov the joy
That I thought to be gainin‘,”
- .“ Why, Teddy, meboy,
Is it dyin' yer talkin’ 0v? What would Ido—
An onuinrried widda in mournin fur you ?
An’ ye wanted a kiss, sir ? Well, there if you

0h, murdher, the man _is devourin’ me just!
Is it at’ ’ me up ye’d be afther be like?
Well, it s not so onplazin’,fye may if ye like ;
An’ if any one’s askin about ye I’ll own
What a troth ov abo'y is me Teddy Malone."
The miner’s sweetheart had jilted him.
He loaded his six-shooter and wrote to his
landlady this little missive‘: “I am tired of
life, and will blow out my brains in the cem-
etery to-night. My rent is paid up to the
8th. I do this because life has become a
burden to me.” He then set out for the
cemetery which he had 'fixed upon as the
scene of blood.‘ On his way he took a short
cut across a chicken ranch and was attacked
by a savage bull-dog. Thinking that he had
enough in his six barrels for self and. dogma.
