A brief letter from Dorchester, Mass, to
the Boston Advertiser, tells the following
'There are in this town two twin brothers.
whose resemblance to each other is 50
strong that strangers can hardly tell them
apart. They keeps grocery and provision
store and were one day bringing in
bags of meal from a wagon, which was
out of sig hit from inside the store. Nathan
had his coat on, but Eli was in his shirt
sleeves. A stranger in the shop watched
them coming in and going out one after
the other. but only one was visible ut Il
time, and at last he exclaimed TO Eli,
well, you're the snartest man | ever
saw; but why do you keep putting on
and taking off your coat p These brothers
and several other menrwere in the habit
of getting up very early, and going to
swim in the Reservoir Pond and once
Eli going, as was his wont, to Nathan's
house, to call him by tapping on the pane,
saw his ownf face reflected from the glass.
and taking it tor his brother called out.
Come on they're all waiting for you"

OF THE YELLOW
STONE.

The favorable report that will be made
this winter TO Congress Of the feasibility Of
making the Yellowstone navigable as high rs
the Mission. (within thirty-Gxe miles OF
Bozema..) will probably insure Nil appro-
prIation and form a part of the River and
Harbor bill. we have it from authentic sour
ces that there are only two points on the
river that impede navigation to within tllir-
ty five miles of Bozenlan. anlit is estimated
that it will require an expenditure OF enly
about one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, to remove these distractions. We
hope our Delegate will examine the facts
submitted in the reports Of tile surveys Of
tho Yellowstone, and press upon Congress
the Importance Of opening up the beautiful
valleys of this river to settlement. Nshope
to be able to give our readers some Of the iii
contained tn these reports after
their submission to Congress. Nothing
would tend more to the interest Of Bozemall
than the Improvement of the navigation OF

RAILROAD MATTERS.

As the subject of Railroads is now engros-
sing the attention of the people of Montana
to the almost utter exclusion Of the other
matters, everything pertaining to railroads
has an interest to the public. There llas
been much said lately in regard to the con
structIon of ;lie Northern Pacific Railroad,
aud it has been intinated that the road would
not be completed further thaa the crossing
Of the Missouri for several years. This is a
mistake. The company are ITO doubt using
all reasonable excrtions to push the road for
ward as rapidly as possible. and will not
cease their efforts until the road is completed
from Lake Superior TO the Sound. The As
sistant Engineer at Helena. Mr.. j. w. Elem
niken, has received from the company the
following Instructions, which We find in the
Gazette of Nov. 1Ah:
You are authorized by the proper depart
ment of the Northern Pacific Railroad Goui-
pany ut the East, TO say that there is no
foundation whatever for the rumOr OF such
Il change in the plans Of the company, as will
delay the construction OF the road through
Montana beyond the time originally contrtn
plated by tile managers OF The enterprise.
There has been absolutely no change OF pro-
glamme and no cause fo. any.
..While the authorities OF the company
caiinot OF course set q time when the track
will reach Western Montana, they give
assurance liiat Tie work will be pushed with
the same energy that has chara tcriz-d the
operations OF the last two years, and with
lis much rapidity as is compatible with all the
OF SO great aproject.'
twill be seen by the above that there il no
reason TO believe that tile road will not be
to the settled portions Of this Ter
ritory within two years, should no unforeseen
circumstance prevent the road will certainly
reach Montana from the West as soon IL not
sooner than from the East. The people OF
Montana have no good rraEon to fear that
.hry will not be in railroad communication
with the outside world as quickly BY the
Pacific, without cost to them, as by
any subsidized Railroad.-Dssr Lodge Inds-
csndsnt.

EXTRA SESSION.

We arc decidedly opposed to an extra se,-
zion OF the Legislature under existing cir.
cnmstances. though in favor Of meeting 1t
the earliest day it can be brought about by
the action of Congress, and hope to see the
Legislature in session by the second Monday
Ill january in regular session. This can be
accomplished by Mr.. Clagett next week, ii
he will only brisg in a bill for that purpose.
Il this course is adopted, the views and
wishes OF the friends OF tile railroad can BE-
accomplished, and entire harmony preserved
amongst friends. Let this cours. be adopt
ed, in preference to hasty action in an extra
session, that Is bound to involve large ex-
perse to the tax payers OF the Territory.
Then, we have no fondness for system that
makes subsidy necessary. We do not ia
vor Substituting any railroad. We prefer to
subscribe stock. We doubt the policy Of
counties voting aid in their separate capaci-
ty. but think the proposition should EN-
brace the whole Territory, aud let every
county bear its equal share in sum the Ter
1tory may see At to subscri5e as stock.
