LOWS LABOR SUccEssFUL-A young
couple. engaged to be married, were walk
ing in the vicinity Of Bristol, England,
when so1ne slight disagreement arose be.
tween them, and the young man walked
hastily away. The young woman soon
went in search Of him, and found that he
had climbed tree and hanged himself by
his handkerchief. Nobody was near the
spot, and the girl at once climbed to the
tree to cut her lover down, but she had no
knife with her, and the only way by which
she could effect her object was by biting
through the knotted handkerchief. This,
with some difficulty, she succeeded in do
ing, and the foolish boy fell on the ground
insensible. The young woman then sue
ceeded in getting assistance, and he was
taken to the Bristol Inirmary, where he
is lying in very precarious condition.

Bishop Lee preached in the new Episco-
pal Church at Oskaloosa. lie said the
church would not be dedicated yet, because
it was not out of debt, and that he was op-
posed to congregation dedicating house
to the Lord when it didn't belong to them
selves. Sensible.

the duties and pay Of the position, and
calls for early and frequent votes for his

ewn success.

The Wind.

The Wind.
Nothing is more curious than the effect
produced upon the mind by the wash of the
waves and the Lowing of the wind in hol-
low places. Itcannot be association which
gives both sounds their air of mystic
dreaminess, Of vain lamentation, or of
melancholy desire. Both sea and wind
are potent enough and practical enough
to make the men who specially devote
themselves to using and breasting their
power, hard, keen, daring and rugged.
Yet the sound of the sea on the shore, and
the wind roaring through the house, sug~
gests anything but daring and enterprise
If it suggests danger and shipwreck that
is, by association, and because we know
that shipwrecks come Of waves and winds
directly, it does not suggest danger or
struggle, but rather,
Old, unhappy, far off things,
And trials long ago,
and this can only be because they are GER
tain sounds adapted Of themselves to re-
call certain moods of thought, and which
have not gained their power to do so by
association. This is true of all music.
But the special expressive power of a
moaning high wind, seems to be to blend
an Immense variety Of subdued notes
notes melancholy in themselves-into a
volume Of sound so great as to seem like
the voice Of a great past-away world com
planning of its fate or its oblivion. IF it
is strange enough-as it is-that solid food
growing out Of the earth should supply
human organization with nervous power
to see and feel, it is at least as strange
that few gases ranged round the earth,
the more immediate object of which seems
to be to oxodise our food in the lungs, and
to provide currents which ventilate our
planets surface, should, in addition, have
the extraordinary power of supplying us
with medium for speech, natural mu-
sic, and an inarticulate language of emo
tion.-Er.

Races OF Man.

Races OF Man.
A learned Frenchman, who has been
spending some twenty>odd years in the
wilds of South America and the interior
of Africa, gives the particulars of his OBJ
servatioEs. The result of his observations
is that The human race-in which lie in--
cludes all the varied tribes Of monkey,
balloons, gorillas, along with whites and
blacks-did not spring from a stnsle par
of high intelligence, but each had It's onu
peculiar origin--the lowcst--!i.e mCnkeys
first, then the next grade-and lastly, tbs
white race. He does rot exactly adott
the development theory, though lie seems
to consider the relationship between thg
different races as very close.
"There is less difference he says, ''be~
tween Chimpanzee and a negro Of Lake
Albert than between the latter and q New
ton or kepler." lie also appears to coun-
tenance the notion that distinct races have
been produced hy crossing. In this CON
nection, he mentions tribe near tha
Amazon, called tail-bearing Indians, Lay-
ing a tail of the thic4neSs Of a finger and
about palm in length, with smooth skin,
without hair. These, he says, are clearly
cross of the red monkeys and Indian
women of the tribe Taruya.-Ihey are
numerous, have some intelligence ana
philusophio opinions, and believe in sG-
prone being. lie mentions black tribe
near Lake Albert, in Africa, which must
have existed before Adam, as tlcy are this
only race yet found that had no idea of d
God or a future stare

Montana Agriculture.
Gallatin, Missoula and Chouteau a

Gallatin, Missoula and Chouteau are
the only settled counties in the Terrific
~ in which mining is not the leading
business, though in the mining sections
considerable attention is paid to ngricul>
ture. iallatin county embraces the
beautiful and productive valley OF the
easterly stream OF the three forks.
whose united waters form the Missouri
river, stretching east and west about 90
miles. with n general width of 3 to 20
miles. MissOula county lies In the
northwestern corner ot the Territory,
embracing the picturesque and fertile
valleys of the He'll Gate and Bitter
Root-the former some % miles long
and TO 10 wide. and the latter about
IS miles in length and s to - in width.
sometimes spreading TO 20 and 25, of
beautiful bottom and rolling prairie.
These valleys. as well "a the many Oth~
ers throughout the Territory. are thick
y settled for a new country with thrifty
and enterprising farmers, whose fields
produce abundantly of wheat, barley,
oats, etc.. and whose cattle, winter and
summer, literally fatten on a thousand
hills, without shelter or other teed than
the mountain grasses. 1t was at first
thought that agriculture would be con-
fined to :he bottom lands, but experts
ence has proven that it's area is only
circulnscribed by the limits of water tor
irrigation. While from % to 80 bushels
of winter and 35 To 40 of spring wheat
is about the average yield per acre, as
high ae GO has been produced where
proper care was taken in seeding down
choice lots of ground. From 400 to 800
bushels of potatoes, that we have never
seen excelled in any country, is not an
unusual product for an acre, and all the
other field ami garden products of the
Northern States, excepting maize, yield
sure and proportionately large crop.
In Bitter Root and He'll Gate valleys.
which are the oldest agricultural dis
tricts. orchards have been brought to n
point of production, and ar. expected
to bear largely this senson.
