cLARK's FORK.

The Pick and PloW, published at Montana,
has been for several months engaged in stirring
up an excitement about the gold fields of East
ern Montana, and finally succeeded in getting
up q small-sized stampede in the direction Of
Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone. It was Qiven
out by the Pick Gn1 Plow that diggings more
extensive and richer, even. than any that were
ever discovered in California existed in hith.
erto unexplored section of Eastern Montana,
of which Bozeman City was the nearest and
most convenient point at which parties could
outfit for the trip, and every issue of that pa
per, for months past, has teemed with glowing
imaginary descriptions of the country aud con-
fdent predictions of the great wealth of gold
and precious metals undeveloped in that pecu-
liarly Indian.favored region. Our other Mon
tana exchanges ridicule the whole affair as .
" steamboat" of the hugest dimensions. The
Neo Northwest, in referring to the matter,
gives the editor of the Pick and Plow, Mr..
Mcguire, severe rap over the knuckles for
endeavoring to get up q sensation over such
imaginary diggings, and we quote from that
paper. of April 7th, the following:
We think Mr.. Maguire's nonsenes has gone far
enough. We do not believe sluice-box has been set
in all the region Of country he calls Clark's Fork.
We have never known well authenticated statement
that even good prospect had been obtained there.
We have never known q Deer Lodge or Missoula
miner resident start for Clarks Fork speak Of
doing 80. We do not believe any gulch has been
struck. that any stampede is going on there, and
from all the information We can obtain the Munchau-
senish. sensational stories Of Mr. Mcguire iag-
indtire and unreliable
This thing of getting up an excitement and
a stampede for new mines that exist only In
the imagination may rebound to the present
benefit Of few merchants and traders In
Bozeman City, but there was a time when
parties who had been "bilked" in that way
would hold the originator of such false reports
TO strict, though not altogether legal, account
ability. Miners have rough enough time oft
without being "steamboated" out of what
few dollars they have left in searching for Dig
gings that do not exist in reality. but are
avouched for by interested parties through
me rcenary motives.

TRUE WoMEN.-At recent election in
Iowa the town authorities of Clarendon do
cided that women were entitled to vote at the
city election, but not one Of the sex availed
herself of the privilege. The ladies Of that
"burg" undoubtedly stand pre-eminent among
their sex. for delicacy and refinement, and for
ajust appreciation Of woman's privileges and
duties They administered silent but telling
rebuke to the brazen-faced. unsexed feminines
who are perambulating the country, bowling
about women's rights.

A French officer, prisoner of war during
the beginning of the campaign, was quar-
tered for some time on parole in a mer-
chant house in Hamburg, where he was
treated with every consideration and kind
ness by the family. DESTROYS of expressing
his gratitude to his hosts, he left them a
sealed envelope, which was not to be opened

The Grand Duke Alexis.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-It is believed in
the State Department that the stories to
the effect that the Russian Grand Duke
Alexis proposed visiting this country the
present season are without foundation. The
belief is founded upon the supposition that
in matter of such political importance as
this Minister Curtin certainly would have
been consulted in relation thereto. and
would long since have communicated the
fact to the home government, if there was
a probability that the visit would take
place. Curtin has been heard from up to
recent date, but in his dispatches he makes
no mention of any preparation for the ru-
mored journey of the prince.

The American steam line to Africa, about
which SO much was written two years ago.
has gone into oblivion. The project came
to nothing. and now looks more unpromis-
ing than before. The English clearly have
the advantage. They can build steamer s,
and afterward sail them with all the odds
III their favor. They are established, with
ample capital, and Americans will not drive
them from the ground very soon. In a
word, England has the monopoly of Africa.
as she has of South America, through her
far-reaching lines of steamers.
