Tt of this ride has often been told and needs but briefly to be mentioned here. Only a plainsman knows the meaning word “‘morther.” It is more than fire or shipwreck when +iee gon on his blizzard and the thermometer down to 40 de- low No human being can the f the st and hardiest imh to the inu cold. De have been found huddled together in groups of five and ten, dead and frozen stiff norther, and even wildeats, lynx, falo and Rocky mountain | died of cold the plains. [t was mid winter, December 26, 1874 when the brave Henry warched, with his littie band, from Red Cloud. Ho had only one company, D Third cavalry, 1 was going after Black Hillers gold had been discovered in the B Hills and the miners were rushing It lay in their land and the I[ndians had threatened to Kill them. The gov- ernment had ordered the intruders out but the intradors refused to go. To save their lives and at the sume time enforee the orders of the gov ont Colonel Heney was sent Lo bring out the intrading miners, The dangersof a mid-winter expedition were kunown. but the case wus urgent. Colonel Henry's route lay by Spotted Tail ngeney and'in two days he ureived therve. Palling Star fndinn gwde was to go with Henry from Spotted Tail, but the weatlier was so torvibiy cold the Indian refused to venture out. A white guide named Raymond we tituted for the Indian and Colonel Henry pushed on. The thermometer was falling rapidly and the weather turning i tensely cotd. Still they pressed on. Kuee Creok, White River, Bad Lands, Ash Springs and South Choyenne were venched and on New Year's day they camped in the Cheyenne valley: The thermometer rogistorea 40 = elow and was still falling. They erept into the leeway of the hills and ot out of the wind much but this aftorded but tion from the dveadful cold, . 1 they pushed on and reached Elic Creek. Here thev expected to find the miners, but they found none. Not a soul, not a living thing, only cold, cold, cold; ice, snow and wind. The sufiering on the outward had been intense, and Henry having reached his destination and finding his seareh fruitless determined to get back s s00m as possible. Before the storm had veen in their faces, mnow it was on their backs. A little shel- ter W found on the bauks of small lake, the tirst night on the return trip, and they camped amid snow and ice on the hard frozen ground. During the night the wind chunged, and the next duy they had the storm in their faces. It was terrible, and the weather seemed every minute to be growing colder Ail v they toiled along, suffering untold agony. - Evidently the men and horses were freezing. Colonal Henry saw thi in fact felt it. Languor which precedes deatn from intense cold was stealing over the weaker ones, and they could with difticulty be kept up. Many nearly fell from their horses. Some 1o longer felt the cold, and knew they wore fre ing to death. The situation became critical in the extreme, but Colonel Menry was cqual to it. Putting his best men and strongest horses behind, he gave the command to “gallop.” On they went, havdly knowing whore they were goiug. Night was coming on, and it w ride for life. On, on, over the praivie through the blinding storm aud biting cold. With indomnitable cournge and perseverance. the com- mander, who was not a strong man physically, held himself up and encour- aged his‘men not only by his example, but cheerfully by words, They could not seo and_give roin to their horses, who, as if understanding what was wanted of them, plunged forward with their stiff- ened riders straight against the storm and halted ot until they came to a ranch where a white man lived with an Indian wife, It was shelter, food and fire and they were suved, Of the forty men on the expedition all were frosted. Some lost toes, flngers. noses and ears, but 1 think unone aied. Many we maimed for life and I think Colonel Henry lost some fingers. The shock he then re- ceived probably permanently injured Lis health as hé has never boen strong sincy The Colonel Henry of the fa mous ride is the same Colonel Henry now seen on your streots every day, the inspector of ¥iile practice on ( al Brook’s staff. It wasn tervible experi- ence for any man to have and such as comes 1o few army officers even in their adventurous lives. The eseape wa providentinl. Colonel Henry himself “Weo all knew it was a race for we were helpless; neither brain nor eye would longer serve us; the in- stinet of our horses could alone save those of us who could hold out to ride.” And when man became powerless to act God guided the horses and saved Colouel Henry and his command.

New York ad- vanced rather sharply, St. Louis pulled back like a mule, aund Milwaikes did not freely respond, while Minneapolis was higherand Duluth bulgy. Most of the fire was furaished right here at home, There was pretty good buying around the start by the local butls, but there was a searcity of specalativo offer- ings, Bloom and Singer supplyine what ther was in the way of leadership on that side. 1 two or three large houses bogan buying rather .

The higher the lence more certain Bloom is to get it. That was what re did to-day, and his wild endeavors to cut short his losses constituted onc of the picturesque. toatures of the day. Bloom, r, was 2ot the only short, by a large He was in socicty, and the nuim- ot limited to the i mado most of the commotion, and the mar. ket was not relieved at any stage by the sell- ing out of any considerable lines of long wheat, so far as ean be ascertained.

He was vemarkably handsome, his silver white hair and beard setting ofl, like the pow dered locks of the nobles of thoe o Louis XV., his fine features, brill dark eyes and fresh roseato complexion, There was always something daintily coquettish in his minute attention to the details and gencral finish of his attire, oven when at work in his studio. On sueh occasions he always wore a coat and waisteont of black velvet, which set off to perfection tho delicats coloving of his tine picturesque head. HIS MANNERS were oven more attractive than his ap- pearance. His genial, gentle courtesy was unfailing, and 1 haye never forgot- ten the day, fourteen yeurs ago, when I went, an unknown correspondent, to visit for the fiest time, his studio, and was received by the colebrated artist with frank cordiality and Kindliness. Neither is great rénown nor his per- sonal beauty had any effect in makin him conceited. He comprehended his own genius and his own fame, and in- deed he could not help doing, but he was too great ever to peacock himself, as many of his far less gifted colleagues are in the habivof doing Cabanel had an espeeial liking for Americans. As_a portrait painter he fairly vevelled m immortalizing on can- vas the finest typesof American beauty. He often said” that my country people wore thoroughly sympathetie to him. He had a peeuliar faculty for dis- cerning and bringing to the surface, in his fmale portraits especially, the hidden characteristies of his sisters’ na- tures. Oncean American unmarried lad of n certain age called upon him told him she had just had her pov painted by one of his rivals. “Monsicur X— has made me look a man M. Cal nel. Can't you puint a portrait of me that will look like a man?” ‘I can but try,” was the answer. And he so suc- cecded in his work that all the other members of his sister’s family caused their portraits to be executed by him in turn. e painted tho portraits of nearly all the family of Mrs, W. J. Mackay, that of the lady herself as well those of Mr. Mackay, Miss Ilva Macl (an exquisite head replete with the de icacy and sweetness of extreme youth), and a noble half-length of Mrs. Colonel Hungerford, Mrs. Mackay’s mother. A characteristic ancedote told of the painter was told while Mr. Mackay was sittiug for his port Ho was met one day by one of hi: sues who greeted him with the ramark: 1 hear that you are painting the portreait of the AMERICAN BONANZA KING. I congratulate you, my dear fellow. Of course, you will maken big amount out of that order.” **And how so?” re- sponded Cabanel, turning sharply upon the que “Is my work worth more to Mr. Mackay than it isto any one else merely he is wealthy? I shall charge him my in- variable price for a portrait of the di- mensions he has chosen---no more.” As almost invariably happened. his sitters became his firm personal friends, and he was alwaysn warmly welcomed guest at Mrs. Mackay’s Parisian entertain- ments. His wedding gift to Miss ay, on the occasson of her mar- ringe to Prince Ferdinand Colonna,was a line portrait of Dr. Bryant (Mrs. Mackay's first husband), painted from a photograph. One of the last portraits that he finished was of Mrs. Reynolds, of Indiana. and he was to have painted, during the coming spring, one of M Joseph Pulitzer, a com- mission towards the execution of which he looked forward with very grest pleasurc, for the lady had visited his studio & year ago and he had then been much struck with her beauty. But that fair portrait, like so many other projected masterpieces, was destined only to enrich the collection of Hawthorne's shadowy **Virtuoso,” in whose gallery hang the pictures that never were painted, and whose library comprises the books that never werc written Like Schiller’s “*Ma nel would have suid of last hour, **I have been so well loved.” Everybody loved him—the sitters that he immortalized, the pupils that he trained in the highest principles of art, the fellow artists whose susceptibilitics were never wounded by that gentle,gen- erous nature. He goes to his grave sur- rounded by all tenderness and all affee- tion save the one element that alone was warting to thut otherwise love-crowned life, that of conjugal devotion,for Caba- nel was never marvied, Aud he has left us in the full plenitude of his fame, with the glorious summer of his geniug unshadowed by a single autamnal hour. He has been spared the keenest pang that fate could have inflicted on one so passionately devoted to his art, namely, that of outliving s powers of exocu- tions Death has taken the pencil from a hand as yetunfaltering,and has veiled the puletté eve yet the eyes that dwelt s0 fondly on its'colors had grown dim. Up to the last hour of hiz life Cubanel remained the g artist and incom- parable professor, Thevofore can we, who knew and loved und appreciuted him, truly say, *With him it is, with us it is not woll.” J.

The jobbing trade has become more active in nearly all lines, espocially in dry goods groceries and hardware, but purchases are being made with a_de of conservatism which shows that the country morchants are keeping their stocks well adjusted to the re- cent requirements of thoir trade, The prices on all leading articies remain stoady.

In the other markots there was about the usual volume of business, with the bear interest rather fortunate in' their transac- tions. The stocks of grain are gradually diminishing, excepting corn, while tha supply of provisions is accumulating ver, slowly. The colder weather hus impro the interior roads, and the farmers have hauled more produce to the stations, and aiso sent forward larger quantities of live stock.
