The grass, which had hardly got a fair start
by the help of the last shower, is becoming
dried up, and everything cries loudly for rain.
Miners, merchants, and the business commu-

dryness continues much longer, for the busi-

when that stops, everything else seems to

tans has received an addition of &C least fve

ticeabls fact that but very few of the new
corners are to be seen idling on our streets.
Those who came to the Territory with the in
tention of obtaining employment have nearly
to a man succeeded in obtaining situations;
and this, too, during one of the duIlest
springs and most unfavorable seasons the
country has ever known. The fact of the
matter is that the energy and confidence dis
played by our business men in rebuilding the
city IN a much more substantial manner than
before, and of course at greater expense to
themselves, in the very face OF "hard times"
has given heart and encouragement to min
ing enterprises, and stimulated small capital
lists to Investments that, under other cIrcum-
stances, they would have been 10th to enter
into. The Territory can be justly proud of
her enterprising, go-a-head business talent,
and we feel sure that the confidence and faith
in the resources of Montana now displayed
will lead her devotees to happiness and pros
perity. Il certainly should.

Pacific coast. Somewhat the largest OF
these three great divisions is the Gen.
trail. And, astonishing as it may appear
20 those who have not examined the
map carefully, the territory lying west
of the Rocky Mountains contains as
many square miles as the territory east
of the Missippi River, notwithstanding
thiscomprises eleven Southern all of the
the so>caIled Eastern" and Central
States. and all of the old Northwest"
The completion of the Pacific Railway has
changed the former West into East and
Central, aud moved the West 200 miles
toward the setting sun. The actual
West consists of California, Oregon,
Washington. Nevada. Arizona, Utah,
Montana, Wyoming. and the major por~
ton of Colorado and New Mexico. IL is
hard to realize the truth that Chicago is
an Eastern city, and that Illinois is not
even a Central, but is an Eastern State.

as on the western verge of the Far
West" is, in fact. $50 miles cast of the
centre of the Union We are not sur
prised. therefore, that the citizens of
that enterprising little place resent the
imputation of being in the Far West
In short, this Is a tolerably long "aeG-

Dominion is absorbed" the distance
will be equally as great from north to

remarkable Murder Trial.

To the Editor If the ". \. Tribune:
SIR: The Wilson trial came TO an end
yesterday. In some respects this was
the most remarkable case that has ever
had place upon the criminal records
of the country. 1t excited great inter
est in this part of the State, and during
the last ten days the court room has
been pretty generally crowded with
eager listeners. The facts of the Will
SON case were simply these: On the
18th of February last. George l.. Roder-
lex provoked quarrel with DR.. L. Viii.
son, in front of the Union Hotel in this
place. Wilson put up with a good deal
of abuse before he even showed temper
He even tried to pacify Roderick, but to
NO purpose. Roderick called him q
thief. a liar, q swindler: yet Wilson bore
it all calmly. Roderick grew more ex-
cited. and heaped one opprobrious epi>
thet after another upon Wilson. and fin
ally called him member of the New
York Legislature. At ihis Wilson sprang
TO his feet. and remarking to Roderick
tlIat he would not take that from any
man, shot him dead with an ax>handle
Such was the evidence elected upon the
trial The court acquitted Wilson up~
on the ground that the provocation was
sufficient. MARK TWAIN.

1T is not so easy, however, to convey tobacco to
prisoner 10 as close prison as that Of Holloway.
But it has been attempted. At stated times o
prisoner friend may pay him visit. The inter-
view, however, is hampered to certain restrictions
On either side of passage about FIVE feet in width
is cage of open wire work, and conveniently dis
posed between the cagesare screens, behind which
a warder may be lurking, listening to the conver-
saton that is going on so as to check it at once
should it take vague or improper turn. One day
in the course of innocent discourse between pris
oner and q male friend, the warder's watchful eye
detected feather floating over from one cage to
the other, and arresting it midway, found at the
stem of it length of fine silk, and at the end Of
the thread in the visitors hand nice little plug of
pigtail, for 'chawing. Had the feather settled in
the compartment where the prisoner was, nothing
would be easier than for him to give dexterous
jerk at the silk and land the plug on his own side.
The miscarriage of the neat little plot meant &C.
we're punishment for the would-be-receiver, and a
months hard labor for the obliging supplier; and
the fact of its being about fifty to one against the
trick successfully passing, shows how terrible must
be the penalty of deprivation from tobacco to an
old smoker"
