Though not absolutely perfect, the illu .tra-

AS tar as it goes, we may pronounce it al
most perfect But some Important structures

blocks towards the mountains beyond Che

Of the town are some Of the finest residences,
besides the, extensive planning mill Of Col.

outlines in the background. Boze-
man Pass is represented almost on a level
with the town, whereas it has an average ele-
gatlon OF about 100 feet to the mile from Boze-
man creek to the summit; the mountains, In
stead OF being barren. are uniformly covered
with fine growths Of pine, cedar and spruce.

 EFFECT OF GROUND BONE UPON LANDS. To be of any value whatever, ground bone must be placed where it will un- dergo decomposition. It will not rot under the influence of heat alone. Both heat and moisture are required. Its efficiency is greater or less in proportion to the greater or less rapidity with which it decomposes. Placed in dry soil, in a dry season, its effects will scarcely be perceptible whereas, in moist soil, having sufficient warmth, it's influence upon any crop will be strongly marked. For intermixture with sour soils, no oth- CT material is superior. It neutralizes the acids. and warns and decomposes all the vegetable matter. The only way recommended for using the Brighton phosphate upon dry, sandy fields, is the application with it of muck and barn. yard manure, or in compost of these articles. These manures will hold water in the.s soil and hasten the decay of the bone. In the vicinity of Hatfield the most gratifying results were obtained from sandy fields by this process.

A Novelty in Telegraphing.

Do you want to know how the news papers succeeded in getting the details of the Cambridge boat race so promptly into type says correspondent writing from England. We'll arrangements were made by the proprietor of the Central Neaos to pay out cable from one of the steamers which followed the racing boats. Permission to place the cable and pay it out from tho Cambridge steamboat was readily accorded. There is no novelty in telegraphing through cables as they are being paved out, but there is no prece- dent for performing such Q work at the pace of the racing boats. By such means pretty full report of the race was pub lished in London within a few minutes ot it's termination. It was terribly cold re- porting-at times almost imr ossible to see for the falling snow. On more fa- vorable day the boat-race cable will prove even 8 greater success.

Be vigilant.
 Pay as you go.
 Trade is money.
 Read your county paper.
 Never "fooP' in business.
 Learn to think and act for yourself. Do not kick every stone in the path. Do not stop to tell stories in business hours.
 Pay strict attention to your own af. fairs.
 Keep ahead rather than behind the times.
 Have but few confdents, and the few CT the better.
 Use your own brains, rather than those of others.
 A man of honor respects his word as he does his bond.
 No man can get rich who lounges in stores and saloons.
 If you have place of business, be found there when wanted or in business hours.
 He who seeks to build his reputation on the weakness of another has an unsafe foundation.
 Learn to say "no." No necessity oi snapping it dog-fashion, but say it re- spectfulIy, as you ought to.
 Help others when you can, but never give what you cannot afford to, simply because it is fashionable.
 Never buy an article you do not need simply because it is cheap, and the man who sells it will take it out in trade.

AN ACT OF JUsTIcE.-Doubting Castle was a sad stumbling block in the path of Bunnyan's Christian, though it couldn't bar his way to Truth. We can sympathize with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always besets us when we are asked to believe anything particularly extraordinary. Consequently, when we heard, some eighteen months ago, that a physician in California had compounded, from the juices and extracts of certain herbs found there, a medicine that cured almost every variety of blood disease, we were incredulous. Since then we have had opportunities of testing the accuracy of the report, and are free to admit that our doubts have vanished. Seeing what we have seen, knowing what we know, it is impossible for us to ques- tion the remedial properties of Dr. WALK FRS VINEGAR BITTERs. That this famous vegetable Tonic. Alterative, and Antisep- tic is specific for Dyspepsia, Liver Com plaint, Chronic Constipation, Fever and Ague, Bilious Intermittcnts, Scrofulous Faint in the Blood, Incipient Consump- tion, Local and General Debility Rheuma- tism, Sick Headache, and Diseases of the Kidneys. seems to be matter beyond the pale of controversy-a .f!ced fact iaa medical history The statements of friends, in whose vcracity and intelligence we have full confidence, corroborated by our own personal observation, compel us, to admit the surpassing m merits of the preparation.

A CANN1BA1 SToRY.-A Canadian lum-

A CANNIBA1 SToRY.-A Canadian lum- herman tells rather Q dubious story of cannibalism among the Indians of the Up per Ottawa, which is given for what it is worth. He says that, owing to the enor- nous quantities of snow and the terribly severe weather, the Indians who inhabit the more remote localities are literally forced at certain seasons to satisfy the cravings of appetite by devouring one another. As an instance, he relates the proceedings of an Indian family in ex- treme circumstances. The squaw, so the story goes, slew one of her children dur ing the protracted absence of her hus- band. and the family had partially de- voured the child when the old In dian returned to his home. He then joined with the rest in the horrible re. past. When the food was gone an- other child was sacrificed and eaten in like manner. The impracticable weather continuing, the Indian tomahawked the squaw next, and he and his only remain ing son, after this additioal supply gave out, started to make another attempt to reach settlement. This failing, the son killed the father, and proceeded to satisfy his appetite with his flesh. Arri- ving at last at settlers shanty he told his awful tale. which it is said could hardly be credited by the listeners, and which it may be also said will find little credit elsewhere, until substantiated by indubitable proof.

DoEs ADVERTISING PAY.-The questit

DOES ADVERTISING PAY.-The question is answered in sensible, practible man ner by the Maquoketa Sentinel. A gro' cer of that town kept column adver- tisement in the Sentinel the year rouSd, but went to the office saying he must cut down, as he didn't see as it was paying him his neighbor in the same business didn't advertise at all, and he claimed that he sold as many goods as he did. The Sentinel man doubted this and pro- posed to settle the matter by having the advertiser go to the railroad freight office and get the number of pounds of goods received by each during the past six months. This was done and resulted in the following aggregate result: Number of pounds received by the advertiser, 367,86O Number of pounds received by the dealer who didn't advertise, 159,- 639, leaving balance in favor of the advertiser of 2O8,26O pounds. The ad' vertiser didn't take out or cut down his advertisement

TIE FAMINE IN PERSIA. -Adviees from Persia state that the famine in that country is increasing. In Teheran, the capital city, the destitution is becoming wide spread and it is feared that with the approach of summer, the disease and epidemic, which partially abated during the winter months, may again appear. The extremities to which the inhabitants are reduced in their efforts to obtain food are dreadful, the commonest herbs and roots being frequently used to satisfy the cravings of hunger. Numbers perish daily from want and exhaustion. From all parts of Persia a similar condition of affairs is reported. Many of the towns and villages have almost suffered depopu- lation by the protracted famine.

THE CAUCASIAN Hoop. Says letter writer, you may crumple up in your hand what will cover the head and shoulders of tall man. They are of color un- like any shade know, being little lighter, and infinitely more rich than of the color known as Bismarck or in rage" The hood protects the shoul- ders as we'll as the head, and has also long lappels, which can be crossed on the breast and tied round the waist, or else gathered costly round the neck, and in any case it looks graceful and well. If the bashluick this IS it's name be up, the face is shielded, and no cold air from without can penetrate. It is the very thing for soldiers and beauties alike. Every lady in Russia thinks she is bound to have one. Itserves not only for tie day, but for the opera-those for the opera are generally white but what ever the color, the point de guer is that they must be of Caucasian materials, and above all, trimmed with Caucasion gold.

I Irecollect, in former days,
 loved maiden with blue eyes; Her style was gentle, and her hand
 Exactly formed the proper size. Her voice in cadence had the sound An eddy makes in messy nook, And when she spoke to me, thought, With slightly extra interest shook. Thus dawning of sweet love began Delightful tremblings in my chest Foretold the bliss to come at noon,
 When all the truth had been confessed. One charming day when larks wore high, And we were on the walk alone, I thought that Providence had marked The hour especially our own. I told her in few words my love;
 She answered with accepting tear; And just before the sealing kiss,
 Sighed, "What's your income, dear ?"

SHARP TRICK OF A DIVORCED WIFE. -- Tn the Fifteenth District Court, San Francisco, the conjugal chain that bound together Georgiana Damn and H. c. H.. Damn, as man and wife, was severed by decree of divorce and now comes an other act in the domestic drama. The plaintiff comes into court and asks per mission to withdraw certain papers from the file. The request was granted, and she retired in triumph with the life-in- surance policies and marriage certificate. It now appears that, prior to the bring ing of the suit, the defendant had his life insured for $1O,O0O, in his wife's favor. By the terms of the divorce, the policies were declared to be her separate proper ty so that as long as she continues to pay the premiums she has lien, so to speak, on his life.

THE GETTYSBURG BATT1EFIE1D.- The Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Asse- citation has decided to proceed immedi. ately to indicate the positions on the field occupied by the New York and Min nesota troops during the battle, to the extent of the appropriations made by the Legislatures of these states. Proposals will be immediately invited to erect gran ite obelislzs, which are tp bear indication inscriptions, The latter are to be super vised by committees of New York and Minnesota military officers and citizens. The New York appropriation is nearly large enough to complete the indication of the positions occupied, and the inn portant part performed by the New York soldiers and officers. The indication of positions occupied by the troops of other States will be commenced as soon as the requisite appropriations are made by the different legislatures.
