too, and the daya were ao hmg that the
■undid not "keep aet" more than au
hour or two, making it a difficult matter
to sleep. „ ,
On the 11th of June I set off from
Nutato for Fort Yukon, farther up the
River Yukon. My boat, called a baidar,
was made of hides, and had two sails of
deer-skin. With me were two old at
taches of the post, uamcd Itathsbon and
Timberlake, and three Indians, of a tribe
known as "Birch-bark Folks." We car
ried calicoes, flannels, knives, needles, to
bacco, etc., for trading. My uncle him
aelf remained at Nutato.
The Yukon is oue of the largest rivers
in tbe world. I never realized the fact
till I went to Alaska, llut then I found
that the maps failed to give any correct
ideas of a river which appeared to ipc to
be larger than the Mississippi.
At Nutato, seven hundred miles from
its mouth, it is over a mile in breadth,
and for a thousand miles above Nutato
it is from three fourths of a mile to a
mile wide.
The curreut is so powerful (hat cur
rowers had to pull strongly to breast it,
and even then we made slow progress.
A steamer ascending the iirer would find
clear navigation for near two thousand
miles.
The Indians call the stream Yukon,
a word meaning "the river," and some
times Co-Yukon, or "great river." For
the tame reason the tribes living along
its banks go by the name of Co-Yukons,
or "Great ltiver Folks."
The river was still filled with ice, tliat
came sweeping down from the Arctic re
fions. Occasionally a field of ice swept
y, on which were fir trees, standing as
erect as when the curreut tore away the
frozen bank where they grew. Drift
wood was floating all about.
It required all the skill of the Indian
boatmen to keep the floating logs from
npaetting the baidar. One atood in the
bow with a pike, to fend off the drift
and ice, and often, despite his efforts, a
floating tree would foul us and lift the
bow clean out of the water.
I now saw the advantage of having a
host of hides. A wooden boat would
soon have been stove aud rendered use
less; but our toufb, flexible old baidar
bore the knocks without the least injury.
▲lthongh the water wai ice-cold, the
son waa so hot that I actually feared a
sunstroke. Whenever we got near the
hank, we were beset by clonds of mos
qui toes, flies and midgaa.
The water teemed with fish, some of
which a ere the oddest fish I ever saw,
and I doobt if they were ever earned cr
classified.

out paying for the pririlege of catching

my f*ee. Where 1 w«» g.'ins • knew
d *t,—into the < ratri f % v >lcan<> I im
agined.
The next moment I t»r. ught up twelve
feet below, in a heap of ashes and hot
< miters, and heard a c> ufused shouting
on all sides.
The place was dimly - lighted, and
di shing the smoke and snow out of my
eyes, I stared around.
The first thing I saw was au old mus
ket pointed full in my face. The next
was a crew of dusky forms, drawing
knives, catching up axes and billets, and
sh luting the oddest gutturals I had ever
heard.
Two or three snarling dogs seized me
by the trousers legs and tugged away.
"Nutato! Nutato!" I cried, as depre
catingly as possible. "Russkol es krom
ekiod Bheel 1" And that exhausted my
knowledge of the Yukon tongue.
The shouting ceased. I repeated the
words, and a grim old savage lowered
his musket; but all continued to sture at
me in great umazement and much dis
trust.
1 kept on repeating rf, Nutato" and
"Itusskoi." They called off the dogs,
and I got out of the fire-bed, which had
already scorched my boots.
Suddenly I heard the voice of Timber
lake shouting to me from the ground
above. The Indians, ulso, heard hi in,
and several of them, crawling into a hole
on one side of the caveru, disappeared,—
going out, as I afterwards discovered.
They soon returned,Timberlake crawling
in after them. He laughed heartily when
he saw me.
"Didn't know what had become of
yout" he exclaimed. "Fell down the
smoke-hole, didn't ye?" And he laughed
again.
I began to apprehend the situation a
little more clearly, especially us I saw
that several of the ludiau3 knew Timber
lake, and that he could converse with
them.
It was a queer family of "Foolish
Folks" upon which I had stumbled, and
a queer house in which I had fallen.
But the house, as I afterwards fouud
out, was not an uncommon one in Alaska.
It was about as large as a fair-sized room,
and was nothing more nor less than a
square pit dug in the ground and roofed
over, with a hole in the centre for the
smoke to pass out. The fire is built—as
I had already discovered—directly be
neath this hole.
In stormy weather, after the room has
been sufficiently heated, the hole is cov
ered with a akin, and the fire allowed to
smoulder. I had stepped upon the skin
and tumbled through the smoke bole,
which is not tjie naual way of entrance.
At one corner of the room there was a
hole aa large round as a hogshead. This
was the month of a tnnnel leading under
ground fifteen or twenty feet, and then
turning up to the aurface. Usually n
little but of boughs is built over the
bole where the tunnel cornea out, to keep
the snow from drifting in.
When I any that this underground
boose smelled unpleasantly and was a
smoky hole, I do not overstate the fact.
I had scarcely been down there fifteen
manatee when I was attacked by violent
■ansae. Tlie odor* were many and

Tiie habit was not an unwise one, ami
in priuciple was a rule c.f the celebrated
Chancellor Kent, of York, the au
thor of the "Commentaries."
On one occasion the late Mr. Seward
had a perplexing legal question, about
which he consulted the chancellor, then
nearly fourscore years of age. The ven
erable judge listened, sat a few moments
in thought, and then gave his opinion.
"But, chancellor," said Mr. Seward,
"your 'Commentaries,' which I have care
fully studied, take the other ground.
They say the contrary view is the correct
one."
"Do theyl" replied the chancellor;
"let's get down the book and sec." The
book was examined and the passage
found. It read as Mr. Seward had re
ported.
"The book is right," said the chancel
lor, emphatically. "I may guest wrong
now, but whep I wrote the book I knew.
Always go by the book in preference to
me."
A Forgetful Bridegroom.
An old story has it that the young lady
betrothed to Isaac Newton left him a life
long bachelor because, one day, the ab
sent minded philosopher took Iter little
finger to punch down the ushes in his
pipe. The careless Western mau hero
mentioned earned pretty nearly the same
fate.
An absent-minded gentle-man in St.
Paul, Minn., recently applied to the
county clerk for a marriage license.
"What's the bride's name?" asked the
official. The bridegroom paused, coughed,
stuttered, sneezed,blew his nose, scratched
his head, and finally stammered, —
"I can't recall it, but I'll go and ask
her."
Having obtained the desired informa
tion, he returned and paid the fees for
the license. A fetv days afterwards he
took his bride to a minister's house, and
proclaimed hia anxiety to be married on
the spot. The minister said he would
marry them if they had procured a li
cense. The bridegroom rummaged in his
pockets, and found it not. He had for
gotten to bring it with him.
"1 must have the warrant," aaid the
minister, solemnly.
The bride handed her prospective' lord
the keys of bis trunk, and be set out for
hie house to fetch the document. The
marriage ceremony was fioally performed,
but the lady wae ill at east.
"What comfort caa I have," she muaed,
"if be cant remember anything!" - She
forsook kim that vary afternoon, and has
tened homo to bar mother.

and sharp, like the singing of an old ca
nary— rather like a young bird, jitßt
learning to siug. Occasionally it makes
a whining, exactly like a very young
puppy, aud then, after a chirrup or two,
starts off on its song again. Talking had
no effect, and did uot seem to annoy it;
and the cage was even passed around

The Colonel's Blander.
A. correspondent of the Cincinnati En
quirer tells this humorous story in illus
tration of the obtuscness of men:
Last evening 1 attended a little dinner
party given in honor of a very lovely
young lady here on a visit from Baltimore.
There were only six couples iuvited, and
all arrived witliio the liraita of fashion
able punctuality, 6ave the gallant Colo
nel . Finally our hostess gave him
up, and the signal was given to adjourn
to the dining-room.
We had barely seated ourselves when
the missing ex-warrior arrived, and, re
ceiving an informal welcome, was intro
duced to a few who were strangers, and
to the Baltimore belle, whose place of
residence be did not catch.
Colonel , who is considerable of
a wit, was called upon for some of bis
war reminiscences. It was in vsin our
gentle hostess shook Iter brown bead at
him; the colonel did not notice it, and
launched at once into an Interesting skir
mish he had had with a party of "rebs."
He had hardly spoken the latter word
when bis'hoet, unable to restrain himself,
gave bim a gentle but insinuating kick
under the table; but the orator, as if of
flint, went on, and even when the hint
was repeated, steadily pursued bis re
cital.
Finally he put hia foot in it by a refer
ence to the Marylanders, whom he char
acterised aa "skulkers," when up rose the
beautiful brunette, with flashing orba; and
making him a aweeping cnurteay, abe
■aid, —
"At leaat, Colonel , they have
too much chivalry to intuit a lady at the
table of a friendf" and left the room.
"What have I eeidP cried the man of
blood. "I insult a lady 1 Never 1" Then
aaid the hostess, reproachfully, "Colonel,
I tried in vain to atop you, but it aeemed
aa though you avoided my eyo. Didn't

In some of the patios the four walls
weie entirely filled, and they had com
menced burying the bodies iu the ground,
not burying them lengthwise, as we do,
but placing tlieiu perpendicularly.
As the marble slabs were laid perfectly
flat and even with the ground, we were
quite dismayed to find that wc had
walked over several graves before notic
ing them. We wandered on, reading the
inscriptions, until we were thoroughly
tired, nod at last wc sat down to rest ;
almost immediately the bell at thu little
chapel commenced tolling, with that
heavy, solemn sound which says—Dead!
Dead! so plainly that it falls like a lead
en weight upon one's heart. Through the
open gate-way came a littlo funeral pro
cession ;lhc coflln,with its black pall,show
ing us that it was an elderly person, was
borne ou the shoulders of six hluck-ruhed
priests, and following, two by two, came
several more, chanting with deep, melo
dious voices, a miserere. They ull went
into the chapel, but in a few moments
reappeared, and, crossing the putio at a
brisk pace, placed the coffin before ono of
the open places in the wall. A short
service followed; then, with much cross
ing of tbemselvo", and still chanting, the
cotfin was lifted iuto its last resting
place; and scon the bluck robes, like
shadows, had vanished.
We sat silently for some time iu the
deserted patio, which still echoed the
mellow, sonorous voices of the priests,
until everything was hushed, and the
ailence was only broken by the waves out
side, as, with their mournful swish, swash,
they caressed the yellow beach; then we,
too, went our way.— Eillom, in the Port

Battle With Wolves.
Minnesota farmers have bigger and
rougher enemies than woodchucks and
crows to deal with. A Norwegian of
Spring Valley, in that State, one any late
in the recent winter, had a fight single
banded with three wolves, ana got away
victorious.
Be started out after dark, with a single
barrelled shot-gun, to shoot down a wolf
whom howls be could bear some distance
off la the timber. The erare were bright
in an unclouded sky, and even in the
woods the hunter could see quite plainly
for a short distance.
The howle of the animal led him in the
right course, and the sounds grew plainer
as be advanced, and after about an half
hour's search, he espied the wolf crunched
upon a liresh heap, in an "opening" in
the shrubbery, ■sidently a den. The
wolf not retreating a pan his approach,
he immediately fired el H. TVs wwU

perfectly baiatoaioM. Marriage cu U
rone otaßOlkxM frrin exeat ot attrotior,
it not indulged il in the right spirit, ltd
equally from neglect and indifference. A
wife may make »ucb demaoda upon ber
husband'* attention and time at to make
him feel himself little better than a iltrr,
and slavery is gal ling to the moat submit
sive. Such a wile puts abacktes on hit
feet, a palsy to his bands, a burden to bit
shoulders. Each should have perfect con
fidence in the other. Should one remain
away from the oilier a length of time un
accounted for by him, let ailence be your
monitor until a voluntary return reveal
the secret of the absence. Both men and
women, united in the marriage relation,
are necessarily tried and perplexed at
seasons when silence should close their
lips until moderation takes possession of
; them. Jealousies of even trifling natures
should never be entertained for a single
momeut. To prevent all such miaunde:-
staudings, persons cnteriug the sacred
ordeal of married life should acquaint
themselves with the disposition, tastes
and unavoidable requirements of their
partners, and resolve to govern them
selves as much as possible thereby.
BE CIVIL TO CUILDHEN.—There is 90
cure cuough taken on thu part of many
parents and teachers to lx< civil to chil
dren. Children arc taught—or have been
and ought to l;e—to be respectful to their
parents uiid to older person*; but the con
verse obligation is not often enough in
sisted on or practiced. There i* no reason
id this. If there he more in older per
sons to call forth respect, which may not
always be true, there is al-.o with tlieui,
or ought to be, more capacity for showing
respect, more knowledge and judgment
and practice in courtosy. They are thus
looked upon with propriety by tue chil
dren themselves as models in litis par
ticular. The pattern is often a poor one.
There are teachers iu ouf schools who have
yet much to leaiu in this matter. They
will find themselves tepaid, they may be
sure, in many ways, apart from the pub
lic beuetlt, if they will be civil to their
scholars alter the most genuine fashion,
and with thu most scrupulous care.—
