A FEW weeks ago young Welsh woman,
Miss Gwen Evans, applied at the office of
the United States District Court, at Helena,
and declared her intention of becoming a
citizen of the United States. The clerk, af-
ter careful study of the naturalization laws,
announced to her that she had as full right
to become citizen as though she were a

called upon the clerk to'make out her decla-
ratory statement under the pre-emption law
for one hundred and sixty acres of land in

A RAILROAD FREIGHT BILL.-Our friend
Jos. Perrin had fine buggy shipped to him
recently from Providence, Rhode Island
across the continent by rail- Well, the bug
gy has arrived at Colfax, and the railroad
freight bill on the same is at hand-and it is
a whopper-ffteen cents per pound, aggre-
eating $160 Was such extortion ever heard
of before? We know what most men would
have done under such circumstances. They
would have cussed y audibly-but Perrin
does not do this in that way. We wouldn't
be surprised though to hear that he has let
the job out under liberal contract. One
hundred and sixty dollars freight on one bug
gy from the States! Why don't the roroad
people just take the vehicle and inform I'm
Gle Joe that the account was square? Why
that buggy should have come through as a
first-class passenger, two sections to itself,
and the free run of commissary car beside.
Won't some other Brannan arise and COM
mence suit against these fellows for swind-
ing? But, seriously, this charge is the most
villainous extortion we have yet heard of on
the part of thsee overland railroad IN onopo-
lies-and, unfortunately, the story is true

THE TWO WORKERS.

Two workers in one field
Toiled on from day to day,
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay;
With the same blue sky above,
The same green grass below,
One soul was full of love,
The other full of woe.
One leaped up with the light,
With the soaring of the lark;
One felt it ever night,
For his soul was ever dark,
One heart was hard as stone,
One heart was ever gay;
One worked with many groan,
One whistled all the day.
One had fower-clad cot
Beside merry mill,
Wife and children near the spot
Made it sweeter. fairer still;
One wretched hovel had,
Full of discord, dirt and din,
No wonder he seemed mad,
Wife and children starved within.
Still they worked in the same field,
Toiled on from day to day,
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay;
But they worked not with one will,
The reason let me tell
Lo! the one drank at the still,
And the other at the we'll.

The DISAPPEARING DARKEY.-The Phila-
delphia Age says; Recent investigations
show that the Southern Methodist Church is
rapidly losing its colored membership, there
being about nineteen thousand members this
year, against thirty-two thousand last year.
This fact opens wider field for comment
than can be titled in the crowded columns of
a daily journal. Is this lamentable fact to
be attributed to the sudden change in the re-
lations of four millions OF men and women un-
prepared for the temptations incident to their
new positions? Has the course of the Rad
ical party since emancipation tended to de-
moralize and degrade rather than elevate and
improve the colored race in this country p
What say Christian men and woman, in the
light of such fact as that in relation to the
loss of negro communicates in one branch of
the Christian Church? There is moral
side to this question which cannot be much
longer obscured by bigotry and partisan feel
ing. Christians will have to measure the re-
suits of these party attachments by the con-
dition of the negroes, and not by Radical
platforms or the speeches of blattering and
corrupt demagogues. In the meantime, will
the negro race wander farther and farther
from the needed restraints of religious organ
izations? If so, both the black man and the
nation will suffer"

take by force what is impossible by diplomacy.
The Italians are in force on all sides Of the city

receive an assault are being made. These prepara-
tons provide far az possible for the security of
