SILVER and bilver certificates eeem to have In come quite popular in the west and southwest of late, apparently to the disgust of the treasury department, "which wants b"th abolished. Bat the people are calling for both and they are performing their function as a standard of value and medium of exchange to the satisfaction of the users.

WILLIE WINDOM, for a time Secretary of the Treasury but more recently defeated lor the Semite by the Minnesota Legislature, is in London and was banqueted last night by a bevy of British M. Pa. All the distinguished Americans who happened to be in London at the time, seem to have been invited and it was quite a swell affa'r in every way.

THE fire in the operating room of the ~W. U. telegraph company at Chicag» appears lo have keen a re stous affa than was reported in the dispatch about it published in the GAZETTE yesterday aftern wn. A secoad dispatch says the loss will be $75,000, ut the Chicago papers n'ace it at twice that sum. Fire did considerable destruction, but the water with which the building was .drenched did more. The operating room has been removed to another building and it will be some time before the building is again ready for occupancy. It was set on fire bvr, lightning, two duplex wires getting in a tantrum, It is fortunato that it dia not happen last week or Mr. Gould would have been charging it up to the strikers.

HON. EMEKY A. STORKS, of Chicago, photographs ex-President Hayes at Garfield's funeral: ''There he stood, with a straw baton the back of his head, clothed in all the grirgeousness of a linen duster, holding in his hand a green open worked satchel with 'R. B. H.' worked in large purple letters, containing a lunch and a picture of Lucy." Mr. fctorrs pictures a dinner he had at Hayes'home: "There was Lucy and the baktd apples at one end of the table, and pickled beef and Mr. Hayes at the other end. I was in the middle."

Mr. Storrs seems to have been placed at just about that p*rt of the table usually reserved for cabbage. But how was it that the counsel ol whiskey riog thieves and Jere Dunn, the murderer, came to I'ciavited to a gentleman's table? Mr. Hayes never stole anything, if the presidency bo excepted and that was stolen for him, so how did Emery fitorrs manage to et a seat at Lis table»

THE Western trip ol President Arthur is said to have a more serious purpose in view than catching trout or gushing over scenery, however beautiful. Disclosure of this purpose was m&ds sevetal days ago fcy some of the correspor dents. Lapse of time strengthens the impression that they are light. Thi3 purpose is said to be to prepare the country for Sheridan's pet scacwo ot tr&nssterring the Indians from tlx Interior t. th% War department, Sheridan has been scheming lor th!s fo: jears and is now supposed to be playing some big trump curds. Nor is this, a! With it is involved the idea of having the government purchase the Indian reservation?, saving and except, ing only a reasonable amount of land for each Indian, giving therefor government bonds the interest of which is to be paid Bcmi-anually to them, and which it is believed, will keep all of them as comfortably as capitalists, with iheir .safes vfull of government bonds, should be kept. Arthur is said to be a convert of

Sheridan'.* to this policy and they, with Secretary Lincoln, are said to be conspiring to so talk up the matte# with the Indians whom they will meet on this exedition, so as to give the project

boon by the time Congress meets. But it wont work. People of this country are not to be taxed to pay interest on bonds given to & set of dirty, lazy 6avajes. -y-:'

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

If Yoa Warn a Kim Take It. There's a Jolly Saxon proverb That is pretty much like this, That a man is half in heaven

When be has a woman's kiss. But there'* danger in delaying— And the sweetness may forsake It. So I tell you bashf nl lover,

If you want a kiss why take it-

Never let another fellow fjf* Steal a march on yoa In this, Never let a laughing maiden

,"i

See vou spoiling for a kiss There's a royal way to kissing, And the jolly ones who make it Have a motto that is winning—

If you want a kiss, why, take it.

Any fool may face a cannon-! Anybody wear a crown, But a man must win a woman,

If heV have her for his own Would you have the golden apple, You must find the tree and take it, If the thing is worth having,

And you want the kiss, why take it. Who would burn upon a desert, With a forest six^iliriB by? Who would give his sunny summer

For a bleak and wintry sky? Oh! I tell you there is magic! And you cannot, cannot break it, For the sweetest part of loving

Is to want a kiss, and take it.

If the President should kill a jackrabbit, the lerocious beast will figure in Mike Sheridan's letters as a monster grizzly. *,v

*The Belle of Fountain.

The steamer Belle of Fountain will be raised this week by the aid of a bulk head which is being built. The damage to the boat will not exceed $100, while the cost of raising will probably be about $200. The stern is in seven feet of water and the bow in th:ee and a-half. The crew is on the boat. Only about half of the deck is covered with water.

THE GREAT WEST.

Coatiaaed From First Pace.

pleted when we were there, Is an abattoir, as the French call their slaugh ter houses. Here by next season he ex pects to kill daily 200 beaves, which he will ship to St. Paul. Thus from this forlorn station the railroad will take five refrigerator cars of beef daily, a pretty good local traffic from a place you would fancy could produce nothing. His cattle feed literally upon ten thousand hills. Anybody can feed cattle over the same ranges but be has managed to get poseseion of most of the eligible springs and so "holds the age'-" on the business for a section halt as big as the state of Indiana

A BORDBR HERO.

At noon the day we were there he came in on his pony from a ride of a hundred miles or so to someof his herds. He had slept out the night before by himself, picketing his pony to feed on grass and as for himself supping and breakfasting on the contents of a bag of provisions slung across the pommel of his saddle. A double barreled rifle and a belt with a vicious looking pistol and knife constituted his armor. His ooat was a yellow leather, heavily befringed affcir, after the fashion Buffalo William affects and the illuminated covers of Mr. Beadle's border literature have popularized. He is about thirty years old and looked the border hero that he is, for he killed his man only a few weeks ago. Three cow boys, hired, as he is now convinced by the confessions of the two survivors, by some unprincipled enemies of his at a distance, undertook to kill him. One whole night they hunted him as a wild beast through the willow brush in the river bottom in which he sought refuge when they made their first attempt to corral him in the railroad station in the early evening. The next day it occurred to him

TO GO GUNNING HIMSELF,

and the ring leader of the gang was bored with a bullet out of which his life cscaped, likewise a great deal of blood which stained the saddle one of our party bestrode in the ride to the burning mine. The oitisens arrested the ether two conspirators, and in the trial lately concluded at Bismarck, the Marquis was acquitted as he deserved to be, and of his assailants one is in his grave, and the other two are in jail. The sentiment of the community is wholly with him. Our party saw a great deal of him, he being pur guest at dinner on the car, and we all got to liking him as a gallant young fellow who was doing a great deal to develop Hi- onuntry, and who knew how to defend .. ^If against border ruffians in the most approved frontier fashien.

AN HQU-ESTRIAN INCIDENT.

I shall not soon forget a short ride he and 1 snd Greusel, of the Detroit Free Press, took from the station to his abatton, which he wanted to show us. In the morning ride to the burning mine Greuse), who happened to be mounted ou a better horse than I was, had rather tauntingly rode ou ahead, leaving me to dawdle along behind, a very bad second in the race/ On this second ride we had taken some ponies hitched at the station, for it was onlv a short distance we nau to go, though the river was to be forded. In going up over a little sand ridge Greusel had fallen behind, and when we had gotten well over, he did not make his appearance. Suggesting that perhaps something had befallen him, we rode back and found that his broncho bad taken exception to something lying in the road, and refused to go past it. Having neatber whip ner spur, the rider was notable to reason persuasively with the stubborn animal. It was the work of a moment for our titled guide to ride down by bis side, grasp his bridle rein and lead the suddenly docile broncho up over the hill. But poor Greusel. How chop fallen he looked. The gallant equestrian of the morning, who bad lor ded it over uiy shabby horsemanship, and given me lessons in riding as if 1 was an infant class, uad disappeared aud in his stead wag a meek and decile gentleman, who never more undertook to teach me bow to ride, or even so much as said horse to me, for he knew and he knew I kuew he knew what a humbug he was on that subject.

MODERN CHIVALRY.

The ancestors of the Marquis DeMores presumably won their battles by killing men in some anciant wars he proposes to make his fortune by killing cattle and feeding men. It is the modern and the better way, and the ribbons of a title of nobility won after this fashion can be warranted to wash. At any rate, questions of casuistry aside, our Marquis (it seems as if our party had discovered him) is a gentleman and as modest as he is brave. 1 certainly hope bis son, if he is or should be blesse3 with ODP, will take as much pride in his father's herds en the "Bad Land" buttes, as young Norval did in those flocks of his paternal ancestor which have been fed on the Grampian hills by every youthful Columbian orator for the past century.

The train that took our party westward came at 3 o'clock. Among its passengers was the youn? wife ot our border hero, from her New York home, with two maids and an ameunt of baggage in startling contrast with a region where nature is so utterly unkempt, and in her shabbiest nttire. She had evidently been an object of curious interest to her fellow trav.-lerq gn the Pullman coach, who manifestly envied her, just a little, ber two waiting maids and a husband that bad killed his man in self defense. As for me, I shall never think of the "Bad Lands," the burning mine, ths heaps of underdone and overdone and worthless clay, thp «n?e brush and the oder ol sulphur, without having it mixed up a little with the fortunes of the adventurous young couple whose lives are dramatically linked with the region,' and who were among the last persons seen as the train pulled ou-t and around a curve bound for the boundless West.
