LIKUTKNANT BERRY, who is in search, of the Jcuetie, writes under date of Oct 16th that owing to a heavy sea he was unable to effect a landing on the coast of Siberia, but left six men under command of Mauter Putnam on an island near Cape Serge, to remain until tbft ice permits them to be taken olF.

A COMMITTEE of the National Grange had a conference with Commissioner of Agriculture Loring yesterday to convey the protest ot the Grange against including in the Agricultural Department other industries beyond the one which it represents. The Commissioner said he had advocated the enlargement of his departmtnt so as to include interests which were intimately connected with agriculture. He could not urge the making of his ofllcc a Cabinet one, but must leave this to tb§ country and legislation.

A WEDDING EPISODE. A Lafayette young man "was married tlic first of the month to a former resident of that city but living at the time of the wedding at Des Moines Iowa. Last week the newly wedded pair returns! home and on Sunday attended the Quaker Church- The rest of the story, which is rather astonishing, is toM by the Lafayette Courier as follews: •,

The regular service was in progress when the newly wedded pair entered the -door, and as they passed up the aisle, the -observed .of all observers, the minister ^paused in his discourse and exclaimed, •"Behold the bridegroom cometh," and then proceeded with an exhortation to the happy pair on the responsibilities and duties of married life, all of which was very entertaining to the audience, but rather embarrassing to Mr. Baugh and his bride. But Mont is a genuine thoroughbred and registered. He took it all in good part.

INTERESTING FACTS FOR TES PEOPLE OF VIGO COTTNTT.

K.t .. -v•'j--.it -fn LEADVILLE, COL., KoV. 15 th l$8i. I intend, for this trip at all events, to be rid of the editorial -'we," under whi«h One masquerades until all individuality and personal identity is lost. I intend to revel in the ego to my heart's consent, for it has been my limbs that have been stretched upon the rack of the sleepingcar to my organized and disciplined appetite the ffisthctic and, as it were, trained peanut boy has catered before mv ejes has been unrolled (he panorama of this wonderful trans-Mississippi empire. All this has been personal. It has been participated in by no aggregation of individuals whose grouped opinions find expression in the plural pronoun. This must be understood at the outset, fyr this is my inning and I intend to do all the batting Until tbo final home run is made.

There have been times, not only in the memory of men still living but of men who are yet young, when a trip from the Prairie City of Indiana to the heart of the rocky mountains was an undertaking of magnitude and moment. Weeks of preparation preceded it it was a subject of wide discussion among one!s friends and the final partings partook of the nature of a funeral. The perils ot the deep and of those who go down to the sea in ships was as nothing compared with it. Do 1 exaggerate? Among theArgonants of'49 who went west from Terre Haute in search of the golden fleece was a young man named John Berdan. He was an asrtisstant of my father's in the engineering work on the Wabash & Erie canal, and a member of his family. For years I thought that expedition had swallowed up a large part of tho food product of Indiana. Whenever the supply of ginger snaps ran low in the family larder, or there was a disposition manifested by the authorities to limit the consumption of an article on which the omnivorous appetite of callow youth made the most persistent and clamorous demands, that l)an had taken all the cakes to Califurny was a satisfactory explanation of the impending famine. It I have heard the story of that expedition aright and and remember it correctly, he and his companions were accompanied well on their way across the river by a throng of friends who had serious misgivings whether they should ever see them again, as indeed many of them never did, though death came first to those who staid behind.

Now I left quietly, without creating a ripple on the current of municipal or even of domestic life. 1 walked to the depot, carrying my own diminutivo grip-sack, and Terre Haute lacked nothing that Sunday afternoon, November 6th, which she had before save a few out of Mr. Baker's ample store of cigars. And those were taken not because there was no likelihood of securing narcotic nourishment in this region, but because it seemed probable that the enterprising train-boy and the mountain dealer would have more altitudinous notions, instinctive with the first named and caught from his suiroundings by the second, of the value of such articles. This prognostication proved true for. the home supply failing at Leadville, it took anywhere from 15 to 25 cents to get a nickle cigar. Shaving too was a surprise at Leadville, costing 25 cents. The costliness of freights was the lucid explanation given of the altitudinousness of both these things which, by-the-bye, were the only two matters coming under my personal observation where prices differed much from the home rule. I was told, however, that beer was 10 cents and whiskey 25 cents. How that is I do not know, it being complicated by the practice at the bar, not laid down in the code, to keep all it gets. I undertook to treat two friends. That made three of us. One of them took beer, the other whiskey and

I a cigar. A dollar was deposited and a silence ensued which was embarrassing to me alone. I waited for change but I might as well have waited for the next total eclipse of the sun or for the second coming of Donati's comet I thought of inquiring for it but that would hare looked proviocial and my ambition was to seem a citizen of the world—ah oldtimer and not a tenderfoot, as new comers are called. It soon eeased to be a matter of money, but I was and aii vfet consumed With a' desire to know the, "arithmetics," as Rip Van Winkle would call it, of that transaction, which Was certainly &s surprising as Derrick Von Beekman's jnqrtgage which read jike a deed'. If the beer was ten cents and whiskey twenty-five pents, then I smoked a sixty-five cent cigar, which has about it a breezy altitude of affluence hitherto unattainea by any Terre Hautean, if I except Col. Nelson, who smokes Spanish cigars of his own importation, ot unknown but supposed fabulous value. But I shall make up for my-extravagance by doing penance with a pipe when home is reached. One cannot always live above the clouds, though the feet of those who tread the mountain topB are beautiful. But this is in the nature of, a digression. This brief abstract and chronicle of mv. joumeyings must be methodical if nothing else, and 1 am still on the platform ot the depot at Terre Haute, so far as this story goes, and that is nearly 1,400 miles away from Leadville. The reader need not lay the flattering unction to his soul that he is going to jump to Leadville. Assuming that he wants to go with me, he will not be permitted to leap there on the limbs of lightning, but must go decently and in order by rail, as I did. Good eg

knows it is a pleasant journey as it is, though a long one. and old timers who csme across the plains in wagons and by stage, with whom I have conversed, can scarcely speak of going kick to visit the old homestead, Contrasting tne speedy and pleasant journey by rail in Pullman's wheeled palaces withr the way they came, without a flush of

Eronzed

leasurable excitement mounting their brows, which were lonely marks on the plains and through the'mountain country for the beating and chafing of every storm that blew.^ Besides, and this is a very moving consideration with me for asking you to accompany me by rail all the way, not jumping a station or skipping a road, is that this is the method by which I expect to pay in part for the passes which lent me tbc moral dignity aad grandeur which always clothes as with a garmentf him who travels as distinguished pass-enger.

The trip from Terre iiaute to St. Louis over the Vandalia has been made by BO many and so often, is accomplished so quickly and so smoothly, and is bO uneventful by reason of these facts, that the crossing of the state of Illinois, the flight across the greatest bridge in the world, the scurrying through the tunnel and the landing at the union depot in St. Louis all go for the saying, so, if you please, and really you must do this on my account, the start will be made for the West Monday morning over the Kansas Citv branch of the Chicago & Alton roaa. Tho original line of this road was from Chisago, through Alton to St. Louis. From Rood house, a point some miles aboye Alton, it has built a line almost due west to Kansas City, the total distance from St. Louis to Kansas City being 321 miles. This road on its line from Chicago to St. Louis was the first tD.use tlic Pullman dining cars, then in an experimental stage, and the same enterprising spirit prevails now as then. It believes in a well ballasted roadbed and good rolling stock. In fact no other would do, for no other would enable the trains to maintain so high a rate of speed. Its depot buildiBgs, too, all along the line, at large places and small, are built for the future and, instead of being tumble-down ramshackle sheds, as is frequently the case, are models of taste and adapted to the comfort of the traveler. Its bridges over the Illinois, the Missiisippi and the Missouri rivers are splendid structures and would be curiosities except for the mammoth which spans all three rivers combined as they sweep by 9t. Louis. By this time they have probably subsided, but ou the Monday Nov. 7th that I passed over the road the Illinois river and the Mississippi were on the rampage.

Opposite the town of Louisana, Mo., which is on the bluffs at the west bank of the Mississippi, where ihe road runs, the river bottom is ten miles wide. It was one vast expanse of water as far as the eye could see. Houses were submerged to tne middle of the first or second story according to location the roofs of barns and the tops ot hay stacks were islands in this inlaul sea, daughter of the capricious river. All the people had fled to the bluffs with their cattle and household goods. After a dry summer in which the crops were curtailed by the severe drouth, it must have seemed hard to havs Jtheir scant raisings floated away with fences and all other movable things on the broad bosom of the turbulent water, and themselves mad ^houseless fugitives. All this place was fairly alive with ducks, which Wire so indifferent to the train scurrying along across the narrow strip of land in this sea of water, the only thing that seemed to have a solid foundation, that they did not fly, and could have been shot by the car load from the windows of the passing train if one had had a shot gun. Indeed a dozen or so revolvers were emptied at them, but without effect of course, as whoever knew a revolver to kill anything but its wearer anyway, except maybe by an accident in a close scuffle.

It seemed quite curious to find the Missouri, which was crossed a few hours later, meandering at a lazy pace and with only a fair stage of water. Its head up among the mountains of Montana is hi«l in a hood of snow which it will take next Rummer's sun to thaw and send south in a filth flood. It and' the Mississippi, though they come together, are quite different affairs and ars fed, or rather watered, in quite different regions. Fortlinatelv for the dwellers On the lower Mississippi, the storms that effect the one ao not influence the .other, and their flood tides seldom come together, and r*ever without playing havoc withthe cotton and the cane. The bridge over the Missouri is both very long and very high—high enough to admit of free paasage to the loftiest steamboat smoke stack. It is curiously constructed too, the piers dividing a little above high water mark land running up the rest of the way :—a pretty considerable distance—in two cones,' on which the superstructure iests only :a little below where the apexes would be if they were continued.

Gldodale,. where train on (his road wa§.-' robbed toot long a?o, was passed in the night, for it is only a few irtiles from Kansas City. Bnt l* did not feel nervous. To be snre in starting for the wild West 1 had laid away in the valise my office pop-gun, the mefe sight of which in the recesses of my Office desk has never flailed to exercise a Soothing effect ota the blustering descendants of (valiant Rob Acres, who occasionally call at the qfflce to thresh the editor. But mv calm did not proceed from thSt pistol, terrible weapon that it is—more terrible because it has rusted so long in vile disuse that if it was to scratch a man with its leaden pellet, and that is all it ever would do in any event, death from lockjaw would be sure to ensue. In walking through the cars during the day

I found that all the train men were armed, and at one of the stations I saw the Adams Express Messenger through the open door of the ear. He bad hung to his belt a pistol which was the oldest born of a Gatling gun—a Colts revolver grown to nearly the proportions of a horse pistol. I quietly laid my gun away in

seen it since. It would be a lamb among ravening wolvqp where there was business on hand. And that is just what there will be if ever the James Boja, the Tom Boys or any other boys, big or little, attempt to fool with trains on that road. There will be some funerals ana the robbers will furnish the corpses and ride at the head of the processions.

But instead ot carnage there was a capital supper on the Pullman dining car, and the pleasing and beautiful process ot digestion was in full operation when the train swung —no, glided is the belter wordwhen the train glided into the Union depot at Kansas City. Here close connection was made with the Achison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad and, almost before you are aware of the fact, it starts out into the deep blackness of a cloudy nig|ht, bound on a journey from the confines of Missouri, through the state of Kapsas and well into Colorado at Pueblo. But that is too long a trip to start on in this letter, after having traveled together already nearly five hundred miles, and so, if you please, sod W&tf&er.yQU Or «o, for that matter. I will tuck the covers about me and lie, down to pleasant dreams in an upper berth, satisfied if my sleep is is sound as that which will tie down your eye-lids if you havo read this" letter thus far. But the rising must be early to-moi row and so good night, and plenty of the sleep that binas up the raveled sleeve of care. n| vT3'*.t .«ij 'i W. C. 3.

Thousands of Terre Hauteans will sit down to-morrow to good dinners, for the people of the Prairie City are good livers and the housewives bere know bow to serve delicious meals. Let every one who is able to enjoy such a Thanksgiving feast sweeten it with the satisfaction of having contributed to a like enjoyment for some one else not so fortunately situated)

When ordering a turkey to-day have two instead of one sent to your house. Have it cooked to-morrow morning in the best style and send it with accompanying vegetables etc., to the Ladies' Aid Society's headquarters south of the P. O., in Beach's block. They will have ft horse and wagon on hand and will deliver dinners received to persons deserving them. This is a small thing for each household to do—you will not notice the e^jense—but the act will give to Thanksgiving the universal character of enjoyment which it should have.

finding and the manner in which the sneeze is sneeced iaan intemtiog study in itself. No two people sneeze exactly alike. A two months' study of this spasmodic practice haa folly demonstrated the fact that there is as much individuality in the sneeze of the average man or woman as there is in the laugh, the conversation, the walk, or the handwriting. Some men and women sneeze as though the effort caused them much pain, while others appear to enjoy the titillating sensation in their nostrils and enter into the spirit of the act with pleasure depicted upon every lineament of their features.

The little boarding school miss trips jauntily along the street and in turning to note if she is attracting due attention happens to inadvertently look at the sun. In a moment her nostrils begin to tickle, and burying her face in the folds of the neatest of cambric handkerchiefs, she contracts her shoulders and givea utterance to the daintieet "skick-skick-skick^' imaginable.

fat woman with a basket upon

her arm—the one you can always meet within the market house—halts suddenly upon the street, bows her head reverently, remains so for a few moments in wild expectation and then, straightening up a little, inhales the air until she swells up like a balloon,then "ah-h-h-schooooool ah-h-h-hschoooo! an-ah-ah-skitch-tschoool oh, my!" and wabbles along wiping her inflamed nose on her apron.

The dapper little clerk walks briskly along the street wondering if his new clothes fit him as he hopes they do. and when the unfailing symptoms tell him that he mnst sneeze he tnrns his head over his shoulder, and with out slacking bis pace gives vent to several short, sharp "woosh -es, and flies along if nothing had happened.

The tall, cadaverous man, whose very look indicates the presence of consumption, stops short oa the sidewalk, nervously runs his hands in half a dozen pocket* before he can find a handkerchief, throws his head backward util his nose pofots at the City Hall clock, and electrifies all within hearing with a spasmodic "witchoo-witchoo-witcho-o-o-o-o-wi-wi-witeho-o-o-o-o—darntheluck 1" then gives his psaked nasal organ a wipe4 or two and mores painfully along.

Two neat little daughters of fashion trip along the avenue confiding to each other their bfte of choice seandal, when one of them says: "Oh dear! JRennie, I believe I'm goingr to sneeze I" "Oh, please don't," cries the other iu horror. "It will be awful to soeezo right here on the street! Can't you hold it?" "Oh I—I—must. Indeed- I—sck— indeed I—ca—oan'fc hel—scbick—help it. I—mu—mui—sck—must—ah—ah"— cheet! ah—ah—oh dear! ah—oh—h—h —ah—scheet—chick—ah—oh! Jennie! ah—ah—schloo—00—oot—ah—nchloot!"

And then she wipes her pearly nose and trips along.with tears innereyesand tells Jennie it's juit too awfully awful for any use and she does hope nobody saw her.

The sedate matron goes about her sneezing in a matter-of-fact ways, She simply stops, bows- her head and gives utterance to a few well developed^ "achoo's" and moves along not caring a continental who was observing her.

The nervous man stops while a look of

}ong

ain

crosses his face, draws two or- three breaths to hurry the thing along, then doubles himself up as if endeavoring to shoulder the heaviest part of his-body, twists his face out of all semblance of ft human being and snorts out his"kroo-whah-kroo-whah-boosh-ab-kroo-whah--oh lord!" and leaves the spot wearing a look of the most disconsolate pain.

It does one good to see the jolly fat man sneeze. He throws back his massive shoulders, opens his cavernous mouth to its fullest capacitv, shuts both eyes and fairly raises the dead with his "ahBchooooo! ah-BCHOOOOOO! ah-ah-SCHO-OOOO! whoopee I woosh-ah-schooooo wagh-hooo-physchooeo! Lordy, but that* was a good'un!"

There area thousand and one other styles of accomplished sneezing, and it will repay any one to note the variety and style of the various sneezers to be met with daily upon the street. ,... A Chance for Ctonluo. [IndiaaapolU Timet.]
