a passenger from California by the
Pacific Railroad informs US that the
rate of passenger fare on the California
end of the line is ten cents per mile in
currency (not gold.) The rate, as first
advertised, was ten cents gold. The re-
duction is equal TO four cents per mile
in currency. We are informed that the
through fare from Omaha to Sacrament
TO will be reduced to one hundred dol
lars.-CHicago Tribune Goth.
The Tribune is in error or subordin-
ates are making a nice margin. Four
days ago they were still charging ten
cents per mile in gold coin on the Gems
trail, and ~ cents per mile in currency,

ELECTRICITY AMONG THE ORES

Among the recent researches by sci

ores, none have been followed with
more perseverance than that looking 10
the application of electricity to this pur
nose. The MTaiBg and Scientific Press,
Of Nav 92d. saws the experiments began
by prof. Bequerel. and followed by
Messrs. Nolf and Phoebe, have culmina~
ted in an invention by Dr. A. +. w.
Partz. uf San Francisco, on which he
has obtained patent, that il is thought
will play an important part in the fu'
ture reduction of ores containing base
metals. A full description of the inven.
ton is given in the Press, which VIII

CHAS. 5. WARREN, Secretary.

WE call attention to the letter of Mr..
Ellis in another column concerning the
assessment of taxes in Choteau County
We are not advised of the law in ques-
tion, but the injustice of the proceeding
toward other Counties, as stated in the
letter. is sufficiently plain to all. We
would like to see an exposition of the
law from some of our Legislators or juS
rists, as il is a first rate time to cut this
official that tourniquet is checking the
natural flow of revenue To the County
exchequers. 1t seems to US that there
is, or should be, course of legal pro-
ceedure by which this little game OF
financial garroting might BE- stopped.
and il is worth the effort on the part OF
our officials.

The WHEAT CRoP IN VIRGINIA
All the reports that have reached us
represent the crop of wheat now
harvesting as the finest that has
been reaped Dor a number of years.
The ears are well filed, aud the
grain not affected by rust. At
length, after series of untow ward
seasons. we feel justified in hailing
the present as ihe harbinger OF
an suspicious change, for it has been
noticed by careful observers Of the
weather, that those of the same
character have tendency to cluster
together. Unfortunately the area of
land seeded to wheat last fall was
narrow. Farmers had become dis
couraged by repeated failures.
Moreover, seed was high, and 80
was fertilizers. But now we trust
that our agricultural friends will
take better heart, and make prepara-
tions for sowing largely the coming
season.

Trunks No Longer to be Smashed
Some Yankee has invented an
arrangement to prevent heavy
trunks from being injured by care
less handling. 1t is simply an India
rubber ball on each of the eight
corners. Strange it was never
thought of before. We can imag-
inc the fiendish look of rage and
disappointment which passes over
the countenance of the baggage
smaslaer porter who for the first
time sees one of these contrivances.
The delight of his life is gone. The
malignant chuckle with which he
used to drop a lady's travelling
trunk from his shoulder to the fool
in full view of the agonized but
helpless owner-is ''piayed out

books, if protected by this means,

feet without injury.-Mining ana

A Pithy Sermon to Young Mer

A Pithy Sermon to Young Men.
You are the architects of your
own fortunes. Rely upon your
own strength of body and soul.
Take for your motto self reliance,
honesty, and industry; for your
STIR of faith, perseverance and
pluck, and inscribe on your banner,
"Be just and fear not" Don't take
too much advice, keep at the helm
and steer your own ship. Strike
out. Think we'll of yourself. Fire
above the mark you intend to hit.
Assume your position. Don't prac-
tice excessive humility you can't
get above your level-water don't
run up hill-put potatoes in the cart
over rough road and the small
potatoes will go to the bottom.
Energy, invincible determination,
with a right motive, are the levers
that rule the world.
The great art of commanding is
to take fair share of tie work.
Civility costs nothing and buys
everything. Don't drink; don't
smoke, don't steal don't deceive,
don't tattle. Be polite, be gener-
Gus, be kind. Study hard, play hard
Be in earnest. Be self relient
Read good books. Love your fel-
low men as your God, love your
county and obey the laws, love
truth, love virtue. Always do what
your conscience tells you to be 8
duty, and leave the consequence
with God.

FEARFUL DEATH OF A YOUNG
W1FE.-The wife of Hezekiah
GreenIee, of Mason county, West
Virginia, was instantly killed
recently, under the following cir
cumstances
"In company with her husband
she was returning home by near
path through the woods from a
neighbor's, where her husband had
been at work during the day. They
were walking hand iu hand, not
dreaming of any danger. when a
dead tree they had just passed, sud
denly fell, brushing the shoulder of
Greenlee, striking his wife on the
top of the head crushing her to the
earth in one solid mass, breaking
every bone in her body, SO that her
remains could not be recognized as
those of human being. Strange to
say, Mr.. Greenlee was not injured
in the least, further than being
stunned for few moments The
evening was calm one, and it is
supposed that the tree, which was
rotten at the roots gave way from
its own weight. Mrs. G.. had been
married a little less than six weeks
| at the time of the accident"
