A Meeting Called mt Weston, westVir-
rfnIn, ON the 18th OF this 8[onth--Tlae
status OF Affairs ElseWhere.---The
BrOiIs OF the Factions.
We notice that one who signs himself
"Your countryman," !" and who says he
writes by order of "Committee," who
ever that is, appeals through the col
umns OF the Weston Herald "to the
Irish adopted citizens of Lewis county,
for afd-for money-in behalf of the
Fenian cause, and also. notifies them
that on the 18th day OF May there will
be meeting In Weston on behalf of
the same cause, to which they "are all
respectfully invited" Atthat meeting
speakers are to announce to them ''the
ultimate object" We opine the ulti-
mate object, and especially the ultimate
result, is just what good many of
those appealed to for money would like
to understand. We think that we can
come about as near telling them as the
speakers will on the 18th, and we will
not charge near so much for our opin-
ion either. That opinion is that the ul-
innate object is plunder on the part of
many of the leaders=and the ultimate re-
suit mostlndicrous and farcical failure
We caution our Irish fellow-ciliz in
Lewis county or elsewhere, against re-
spending to the amount of a penny to
theappeal that has been made to them.
All that they investwill be as certainly
lost as If they were to buy mp confeder-
ate bonds. r.
The Fenian squabbles in New York
among the factions goes on with una
bated violence and virulence. o'Ma-
hony, who still signs himself "Head
Centre" and who still goes through the
forms of Office at Union Square, New
York, publishes a pronunciamento ac-
cusing Killian 1.-THE General command
ing'' in the late Eastport or Campo
'bello expedition, with "treason or
folly" He complains that seeing the
Killianite game played out at Eastport,
he photographed an order for the prompt
recall of the men, which order was not
complied within until further "large ex-
-penditures" were made. He says sit
was the plan, or rather, the handling of
the plan was defective" Referring TO
the trial going on, he pleads forpardon,
and winds up thus:'
The whole matter is now under considera-
ton before select committee appointed By
a convention of the MRnuattsn uls rtct The
report will be placed before you before many
days. There have been some grave mistakes
m6IIe by myself and Others connected with
this affair, and much dIscontent and blcker-
ing has th1pce arisen. Whether this hFst
mistaken Ine We Of mine he pardoned or not,
In consideration ofmy constant successes un-

SHORT HORN DuRHAMs.-of all the
different breeds of cattle known at the
present time, none have caused such a
sensation among graziers and dairy
men, and elicited such universal admi-
ration from ali. as the Short Horns.
The origin of the breed was cross be-
tween theslarge, coarse, slow-feeding,
native stock of Yorkshire, England, !,
and the neighboring vicinity, and inn
portations rom Holland. The breed
ers of Durham county succeeded best
in bringing ont a desirable style of
animal from the cross, and hence the
name. The Short Horn is well adapted
both for the dairy and the sham bles-by
many Thought 70 be superiort 70 all 9TH
er breeds, for either purpose, A pure
blood IS seldom seen in this country,
but grade DuEhams are extensively
raised in all stock+g growing sections, es-
peefsIly in Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky
and Indiana, 1t IS, perhaps, not over
rating 70 say that wo-thirds OF all the
beeE-cattle offered at the New York
markets have n greater or less mixture
of Durham blood. i

Captain Grace .tmakes The best of the
| bad foblr thus In conclusion:

. After everything had been given up-after
HO'MRhony, who Is an imbecIle. came back
upon us, many OF us concluded that we
would leavethe motherhood, aud never say
another word about liberty; but on recousiJ-
ertng the matter coo1ly1 we said that 1t did
sacrifice the labor Of the brotherhood; aye
the hard earnings OF the Irish servant girls oI
america. Many there are who haye~gfVen
money 70 o,Aiahony. And In doing 50 had 10
stint their own families OF the neceSSaTieS OF
life for the sake OF u few useless men at the
head of affairs. 50 we decided to Join the
ranks of Gen. Sweeney, a man whom we al
ways looked on with respect, and make the
best out OF a bad Job. In View OF all the
promises and declarations that We have
made, II we don'L accom- plish something the
vengeance ofHeaven cannot TAIL 70 fall upon
us. Then, in the name OF God and ireland,
let us unite under the leadership of General
sweeney, and carry out the pledges that we
have taken before God and man. ~

Under this caption the Virginia Poe. has
the following:
The gesidents Of our Territory refer eve.
rybody who is desirous of knowi6c The e, o~
tent -Oi-1ts resources, 70 -: : .DIovad
out, we desire to State that there are claims
In 1t which are producing $1,000 or more
every week. Messrs, Campbell and Selma,
man, of Diamond City, took with tbon 70
Fort Benton, 5000, 900, in forty sacks of s5~
OOO each, the profits OF one season in Con-
federate gulch. In the same train there
were 100000 more which belonged to few
individuals. We have been informed bv
reliable parties that the steamboat Luelia
which recently sailed down the Missouri
river, conveyed over one million in gold dust,
most OF which belonged to miners alone
This extraordinary event has not been moi
tlced as it should have been. If an ocean
steamer should bring from Europe ten tbou>
sand dollars IN coin, the incident would form
the subject of leader in every American
journal But when the wealth is taken from
the bosom of the earth and poured into the
national resources, it does not make an item
Tor the press. Six workmen in Mcclellan
gulch realized $4,000 apiece, and left for
America about two months since. These
instances OF startling success might be mul.
tplied; but, as they are of an exceptional
character, We cite them to show that gold
can be found in this region, and that it is
not "bllk" or "humbug."
We regret that there is no Mint to which
we can apply Tor figures, and that policy
compels many to conceal the amount of their
treasures, and therefore we must present in.
fercnces instead of facts The freight bills
Of our regular merchants, including trans1
portation up the river and over the plains,
will exceed s3,000,000. The value of the
merchandise in the stores and fre-proofs is
over fifteen million dollars In addition to
this property, millions have been expended
in erecting buildings, buying stock, working
claims, paying taxes, cultivating land, ma.
king bitches, grading roads, bridging streams
and promoting the interests of the public.
Who defrays these expenditures The mi.
ners Of Montana, who obtain their funds, not
from the national banks, but from the pay
dirt of the gulches. The immigrants, who
have brought money or merchandise with
them, have added merely a drop to its streams
OF gold dust. We hope that some of our
exchanges will have the manliness to revise
their articles upon this subject, and hereaf,
ter show more discrimination in publishing
the shallow remarks of every professional
grumbler"

Prostitution IN NEW YORK Cry
The daily report of the "New York House
of the Fallen" says there are about four
thousand of the professional demimonde in
that city who have no other means of sup>
port. The number of girls who work in the
day time and walk the pave at night will
fully equal this number. There is at least as
many more "mistresses" all about twelve
thousand women and girls belonging to this
-wretched class. The institution tor the fall
len has reclaimed seventy>6ve during the
past seven months The loss of their own
self respect induces these females to believe
that they never can gain the respect of 9TH
ers. But lift them from this slough of self.
degradation-show them that an upright
life will bring its proper reward, and then
they are easily restored to paths of virtue.
A glance at the cause eff the great social
evil appears to be, in very great degree,
want of employment by these women. The
report says:
More than one-half of the demi monde are
driven to adopt the life by Christian parents
that is to say, the iron hand of home rule,
the wrong teachings, the misconception by
parents OI Jne cuaT0cCeT OF Inelr culluTen,
the deprivatons of reasonable enjoyment
and amusement, drives young girls to seek
life of greater freedom. One quarter more
are the victims of men who delight in the
ruin of all that is good. The remainder is
composed Of those girls who are compelled to
work in shops and factories for their living.
This latter class is the most difficult to re-
claim. From their lowly life of toll, where
they are compelled to live in tenement
house or hovel with four or FIVE persons
crow led into a small room, poorly clad, porr-
ly fed, working from ten to twelve hours a
day for few shilliDgs, surrounded by drunk.
en- and degraded associates, they step to the
elegant mansion of sin, where they are clad
in rich stuffs, fed upon all the dainties of the
season, and have no work to do; their asso>
ciates comprising the fashionable men OF
the city who would not have spoken to the
working girl.

AN ExoDUs.--Upon Sunday, the 9th
inst, the streets of Virginia were crowded
with people, and upon the following day,
two hundred and fifty persons, from the
grandfather with hoary locks down to the
sucking, in its mothers arms, under the
leadership of a "MOses," Captain Singleton,
departed for the Yellowstone. America is
the land of promise for which. they are jour-
neying. About twenty Eve boats will leave
the Yellowstone canon on the 18th inst, and
about four hundred and fifty passengers will
descend the Missouri For the benefit of our
Indian subscribers upon the Plains, we will
say that many of these parties carry rifles
and guns, which they are prepared to use
without asking any questions They have
presents of bullets for them which they will
give them internally by means of a civilizing
agent called gunpowder.-MOntana Post.
