May 5th, Tninga are just "booming" here and I have been quite busy since I arrived. Property is than in Bismarck. Yep can buy nothing in the business part of the (own for less than, a few thousand dollar The price of lot nd building is just about equal to the rent ten months. A very ordinary shack business part of the town will rent for $200 or $250 a month. A man bought a lot and building, well out, the other day and rented it for a vear for $2-750.

The town is boxed up among the steep, wooded hills that tower up on all sides, and everything is crowded together. The hotels are full all the time, and the rush for the first table at meals is great, and no sooner, does, a man get through than another pounces on the vacant chair. The rooms are packed full of double beds, with just room enough to move between them. You mustn't suppose we etS'rve out here, or live on pork and beans because we are "away out from everywhere." At dinner always branch; out into roast beef and mutton, corn beef, boiled ham, and finally trifle with and pudding. The post office is one of the greatest curiosities in It ought to be called the dead-better office, for a letter once into it isjlead to the person who wants it.

is he mav never get it; can't cven'have the pleasure of knowing whether there is one one for Aim or not, as a general thing. Three or lour clerks have been busy making up a written Itet, somewhat less than Webster's Unabridged, of the letters on hand, and in the course of the season it will be published. In the meantime there is alwavs a long string of anxious letter seekers, extending away into the street, to be seen at the post office, and the post master and his assistants are the most thoroughly and everlastingly cursed men in the Territory. They seem to stand it pretty well, however. There are about 10,000 letters there now, or more, bundled up in pigeon heles and scattered all around, and with two or three mails mostly every day, things have got so that even if he wants to, the clerk can't tell without half an hour's work, whether there is any mail for one or not.

When they get a new office and more room probably things will be much better. We have two or more theatres and three banks, but only one church, and that is a small carpenter's sho'p--rongh logs and rough boards for seats, Jllumi nated at night with a few candles. A new church, however, is talked of. It is amusing to see so many Chinese "Washing and Ironing" signs along the Hi, Kong Ghee, Wah Hee, while the illustrious celestials trip along the streets, remarkable among the busy throng for their quiet and cleanly appearance. Rather an amusing incident occurred the other Sunday.

A big box of eggs was sitting in front of one of our stores when a man who had been experimenting with Deadwood whiskey, happened along, and happened right into the box among the eggs. The enraged proprietor rushed out and damned him in every possible style, emphasizing bis remarks by pelting him with eggs all over his head and face. Thrice the victim arose with the yeJlow fluid streaming down his cheeks and thrice he was down and peppered as before, and further this deponent sayeth not, as the dinner bell was sounding. We have a daily Times here and in it we can Tead to day what the Turks and Russians did yesterday, who was shot last night, c. There is also a I weekly paper, the When it doesen't snow here it rams, and when neither then it looks so much like uoth 1 that it is quite discouraging to the poor I "pilgrims and teuderfeet" who are searching tor sunny spot to rest in.

Well, as I have! s'aid, the crimson sun was sinking hazily behind the tarnished cloud glories of western sky, when I sat upon ihe door-step thinking about the holly -nocks, when into my prospective paradise there stalked, a serpent in the shape )f a mule.j What an absurd metaphor A serpene doesn't stalk but a mule does, so it will half way pass muster, and when one is a granger one is more intent on raising cabbage and turnips than cullivatiug the flowers of rhetor c.
