Trip = Among ‘ho passengers on the west bound train last night were a gentleman and lady who met at the Transfer after ten years of aeparation and who will pro bably by Friday night become man and wife, that is if they get through to their destination in safety. The man is a fine looking stalwart fel- low, an Englishman by birth but now the owner of an extensive shoep ranche in Autralia, and a resident of that country. His name is John Strathern. The lady, while not extremely pretty is very pleas- ant looking, amiable and accomplished Suglish birth years ago Strathem was a p young man who saw no hope of being able to get married by working in his own couutry. He consequently deter- mined to go to some new part of the world to try and accumulate sonie money.

Tho offor was accopted, and instead of going to the nuptial altar John Strathern sailed off to the South Sea, and widened the distance between his sweetheart and himself by several thousand miles. He wrote her of his trouble and bade her not to wait for him any longer, as he might never return. The devoted woman did wait though, and wrote him an oc- casional cheoring word. A year ago the kind-hearted man, who had kept his promise to his protege, died, leaving him all his property, valued at an immense sum, and waking h richer than he had ever dreamedof being. After settling up aflairs 50 a8 to be able to get away he sent for his promised bride to come to America, and that he would meot her on a certain day at Council Blufls, from which place thoy would go on to Salt Lake City and there be married. So well wero their respective journeys planned that on arviving at the transfer last eveaing ho had only a short time to wait, as the lady came in on the evening train_and both left o few moments la.w for Mormondom, The most curious part of the whole affair is that the two traveled a distance oqual to over two-thirds of the earth, each mado a long ocean voyago and a loug trip by rail and then arrived at their rather unromantic trysting place, a rail- sond platform at the transfor at virtually the same time. It is a striking instance of the thod by which railroads and steamship lines run, and that the time can bo 8o accurately reckoned as to meet in this way is & wonder even to thoso accus- tomed to travel. That luck was on the sido of the young couple is shown by the fact that thero was not a single detention by accident or othorwise to, cither one, and it is to be hoped that after such con- stancy and nerve on the part of the two lovers they may find as smooth sailing on the sea of matrimony as on the not less turbulent waves of the two great oceans, S A Life SavingProsent.

Herald, On Monday evening, 24th inst., Mr, T Childers and Mrs. Lucinda Phillips married at the latter's residence on on street. This i their second wed- ding with e ch other, and the story of their separation and final reunion after twenty years, is equal, in point of romance, to that of Enoch Arden. Mr. T. D. Childers and Mrs, Lucinda Tatem were first married in their nati county, Franklin, in 1856, and lived to- gether until 1861, when the husband Joined the Southern army in response te a call for volunteers, Soon he was made |y prisoner by the enemy, who kept him for awhile i . Louis, and finally sent him to Alton, 111, for keeps. After sixtoon months of captivity he was exchanged, and resumed his duties as a Southern soldier, remaining in the army until the close of hostilities in 1865, when, like a dutiful husband and father, he returned to his wife and little children, but said changes greeted him whore all had once been contentment and happi- ness, The husband had been reported killed in tho terriblo struggle of Vicksburg, and lus wife, after long and tearful waiting, was forced to give credenco to the story, and subsequently found solace in th + I of a Mr, Phillips, whom sho had known from duhlhmn{. True to tho vows of long ago, she was loth to hury the hrst love. Still she was a wourm, and, therefore, to boe won, and 8o 1t was, the soldier husband returned from the dan- gors and privations of war to find her whom he had vowed to love until parted by death the wife of another. It was an ordeal moro trying than any he had ex- perienced during all the bloody conflict through which he had passed. Yet there was no remedy save tosuppress the affoc- tions 8o fondly treasured, and trust in time, whose casy flight correctsall errors, softena grief, and rocks sad memory to sleep. He married again in 1866, but his second wife died three years later. In 1876 he married a third time, but was again robbed by death of his consort one year aftorward. About year ago Mr. l’hilli| s died, leaving Childers' first wife in widowhood. Mrs. Phillips has a brother residing in Franklin, whom she visited not long inco and at whose house she chanced to meet Mr, Childers, her first husband They met as friends, but their friendsaip AR T S e age returned, and though not so fervent a8 in the earlier dream of youth, it was not wanting in earnest devotion, Their second mairiage to each other oceurred on Monday ovening, the 24th instant, in the presence of their families, respective- ly and colectively, The event was celebrated with musie and dancing, and the bride and groom, though sprinkled with the silver of time, seem happier for the sorrow they have known, | — Ohureh Notice, We are having a series of wmetings in our ( nan church on Dodge between Twelfth and Thirteenth streots every evening, commencing at half past seven o'clock, excepting Saturday's, to which we cordially invite our German friends to attend, Rev, D, Ravixsk. very sanguine now of a thorough and |7 HELP FOR THE HELPLESS.

The Wild Thriving Pral Blogsoms [uto a Town in Twelve Months, Central Dakota, Midway between Jamestown on the north and Aberdeen on the south, fifty miles from each, between the north and south forks of the Maple river, and at their junction in nearly the center of Dickey county, Dakota, lies the beauti ful village of Keystone—not long to re- main a village, but shortly to grow int large and pr jus city, One year ago but three houses diviurbed the praicies itude, where now all is activity sud hie, with the bustle of civilization, The county had a population of but twelve people in April, 1882, while now it exceeds twelve thousand. This is one ot the very best agricultural counties of the far-famed James river valley, and its settlement has beon delayed only by the tardiness of the various railroads now he. ig pushed nto and through the ¢ unty, with Keystone as their comnon centel, The Fargo - Southwesten alrcady reaches the county border on the north, nd is the ouly branch of the Noitirn Pacific that is 8o lucated that it docs not confiscate about the who'e of the settlers products in fre'ght and transportation: while the Chicago, Miwaukie & St Paul, the Dakota settler's best friend, is nearing Keystone on the south, and has now but ten miles of road to finish to complete the connection, The North- western is approaching on the east, but a few miles away, while the Bismarck & Brown valley is expected soon, The climate is equal to_that of any portion of the territory, and the products of the soil in this valley are too well known to require recapitulation. The immediate vicinity of the Maplo river and its branches seems to encoutage and increase the yicld of grain, and improve both the quality and quantity ef vegetables, ne ticeably in and about the town and from the town to where it flows into the James river, about eighteen miles to the east. Presumably the effect is as great up both its branches, but your correspondent’s opportunities for observation wore lack ing. The soil is more sandy in most of the valley, and crops can bo grown and har- vested from ten days to two weeks sooner than in most portions of the Territory, a fact of great importance to the agricul- turist in these days of cyclones, hail- storms, and early frosts. The county is beautifully rolling, but not hilly, except in the western portion, where it is_very hilly and quite resembles the foothills of some mountain range, a factsaid to be of great advantage because of the facility with which cattle can at all times obtain protection from the wintry storms and blizzards, while its decp valleys of lux- ant grass and never-failing streams and coolies afford ample grazing and water tor Jarge herds. The county was orzanized in Juno, 1882, has an area of 737,280 acres (24x48 miles), and has several small streams in addition to the rivers mentioned. Italzo has several small, picturesque lakes, among which are the Cottonwood and Clear lakes, the former bemg heavily fringed with cottonwood, and both abound with fish, which are also found /n great numbers in the James and Maple rivers. There is plenty of timber about the lakes and rivers by cconomical use to last for many years, but coal is preferred for fucl, an it can be procured at $7.50 per ton in small or largo quantitics, and is much more convenient, while tho timber is valuable for building, for shelter for stock, and a protection to the settler from the strong winds that meet no other obstruction to break their force, About twenty per cent of the acreage of the county will ba in crop next year, not over b per cent, be ing cropped this year, but the yield per acre was in every way satisfactory to its owners and the community, and these people expect much indeed, they are too feverishly ambitious and_impatient to be tisfied with anything short of the best. There is still a large body of land in the county unclaimed by homestead, precmp- tion, or tree claim that is first- nl.\us farm- ing land, besides tho hills aforementioned, known as the Coteaus (Indian, Kota), but at the present rate of immigration it is ]vrnlm\hulh.fl. there will be none by the 1st of Janwary, and certainly noue by mudsummer. There is_an entir of land speculators, and no land & every quarter is open to actual settleme Thosewho have obtained their titles desire no better Iseality, and will not sell, and those who have only claims keep them. A standi vertisement for two months in The Keystone Commercial failed to produce a single person with a quarter section for sale. Speculators have to confine themselves to town lots and investment securities, the former proving a very profitable field, lots hav. ing doubled and more in value in a fow months, Th s locality is also a favorite resort for sportsmsn, The waters are full of fish— pickerel, pike, bass, and perch—while prario chicken, duck, swan, sandhill crane, snipe, golden plover, and wild goese are ul\ulldnu( and in the cotoaus, elk, deer, antelope and buffalos can be found. The supply of feathered game is 80 great that it cannot with propriety be callod hunting—it is simply shooting, The prairies and hills are thickly strown with Irdian relics and buffalo bones, the latter so plentiful as to become a regular business to collect and ship them to the sugar refiners, being worth 812 per ton here, and the collecting by no means a slow or tedious matter. Keystone was founded by a party of ladies and gentlemen of equal nuiber from Pennsylyania, and was christened in fond remembrance of the old Keystone state; and the bulk of its inhabitants are from that State and Indiana, although a fair sprinkling can be found from all the middle and western States. The dmu and character of its people are rem ble even in this country able things are expecto Awmerican birth, and very bred, most if not all with a fairand ma with a perfect business education and ex- perience, all young and active, with the | ardor and enthusiasin of youth and mid dlo age, tempered with the proctical con- | sexrvatism of their business education and | oxperience of the East. Hero they are | all'_on one common level, new men ina| new country, old ties of position and wealth cut adrift, and all united in honor- ing him that does the most for Keystone and Dickey county.
