Montana has citizen named Miss Given
Evans who, a. may be readily inferred
from her name, is by birth Welsh woman.
About month ago she entered the United
States District Court in Montana, and ask
ed to have naturalization certificate made
out for her. The puzzled functionary set.
tied his spectaclss ON his nose, examined
the applicant with surprise, and then
plunged into United States statutes, in
which he found no legal reason why a
woman should not be duly naturalized,
and 90 Miss Evans received her papers,
with which she boldly went to the Land
Office Of the Territory. There she asked
clerk to make out her declaratory state.

This gentleman, like the other, was some.
what astonished by her request, but, ex-
aiming authorities, he found no reason
to repel the applicant, and her certificate
was duly fled as No. 1000. The energetic
lady then went to work ON her newly
acquired land, and built . house, and set
about to improve her farm, fencing it, and
otherwise showing that, having it, she in
tended to keep it. She now has cow, a
yoke Of oxen, and oil the usual farming
tools generally used by pioneers. Her
land is in Deer Lodge Valley, and some
day the Northern Pacific Railway will run
close to it, making it quite little fortune

A gentleman travelling in Texas, met
on the road wagon drawn by four oxen,
driven by countryman, who, in addi-
tional to the skilful flourish and crack of
his whip was vociferously encouraging
his horned horses after this fashion:
"Haw, Presbyterian s'Gee Baptist I"
"Whoa, Episcopalian p Get up, Meth
odist ~ The traveller stopped the driver,
remarking to him that he had strange
names for his oxen, and that he would
like to know why he thus called them.
Said the driver: 81 call this OK Presby-
terrain because he is true blue and never
fails, pulls through difficulties and holds
out to the end besides he knows more

he is always after water, and seems as
though he'd meyer drink enough then
again he won't eat with the others. I
call this OK Episcopalian, because he has a
mighty way of holding his head up, and
if the yoke gets little too tight, he tries
to kick and draw clear out of the track.
I call this OK Methodist, because he puffs,
and blows, bellows, az he goes along, and
you'd think he was pulling all creation,
but he don't pull pound unless you GER

Wholesome Talk by q Radical News.
paper.

In the course Of some pungent COM
ments on the San Domingo. swindling
treaty, the Chicago Tribune (e1sfeme radi-
cal) says:
'":We have now more territory and more
people than our statesmen are competent
to govern with wisdom or discretion. The
antics Of some of our men in highest au-
thority at Washington, in dealing with the
most important interests, are as out Of
place as the grimaces of q monkey in q
pulpit, and none of them are more map
propriate than this system of taxing our
already overtaxed people for the privilege
of adding to our stock Of pauperism and
our materials of mischief. Instead of pay
ing for such onerous additions to our bur-
den, we ought rather Ito charge for them,
and devote our secret service fund to Sc
rious effort to teach Congressman and Cab
inets how to govern the country we now
have"
That is plain talk, and coming from that
source, the people cannot say that it is the
language Of faction, or of malignant op-
position. In fact we find, nowadays,
more just denunciatisn of the administra-
ton in the radical newspapers, and in the
speeches of radical Congressman, than
proceed from Democratic sources. This
is one of the most hopeful signs of the
times, for great deal of useful informa-
ton is, by these means, reaching class of
people who not read Democratic newspa-
pers and speeches, and who would remain
in ignorance their whole lives long but for
the good sense which they are meeting in
certain class Of their own political Or
gans.-&. Paul Pioneer.

Other nationalities as well as the Irish

indulgence granted to them than to the er-

whose intellectual products have aided 30
largely to immortalize Great Britain's ga

tho very qualities of character which we

Before the battle of Princeton, New Jer-

ton and Lee differed in council as to the
propriety of hazarding an engagement
Washington had been driven by Sir Henry
Clinton, out of New York city and uncom-

New Jersey. He decided to make stand
at Princeton and abandon the cause if un-
successful. Gen. Lee refused to partici-
pate got sulky and remained in hiaquar-
tiers. Gen. Lafayette was given Lees d.
vision. The roar of artillery reused the
veteran. His horse was ordered and he
rode to his position and commanded them
to retire, Gen. La Fsyette having taken
subordinate position on the same brigade.
Washington ESQ Weems' life says) was des-
perate he was not so good tactician as
Lee and did not apprshend the policy of
the movement. Retreat had been the
forced rule of the American army for
months. Lees order won the battle be-
cause it invited the British TO follow with
out chance of escape. When the general
in chief saw Lees troops falling back, he
rode rapidly to him and demanded: "Gen.
Lee, why this illtimed prudence ~ Lee,
with the military grace which was charac-
teristic Of him, drew his sword, extended
the hilt to his Chief, with flushed face and
said, /" By God, sir, there is no man in the
army who possesses more of that rascally
