FROM OUR TRAVELLING COR.
RESPONDENT.

Editor Avant Courier:
While peregrinating through the Gallatll
valley aud portion Of jefferson county We
had occasion to remark the numerous evi.
dences Of rapidly increasing prosperity visi.
BILE on every hand. The farmers Of Gallatin
valley have commenced the in-gatleriug oi
the grain. and appearances indicate that the
harvest will be all abundant one, and the
operations Of the season will prove pre-emi-
nently successful. On the West Gallatin and
the lower valley the grain has ripeled at least
two weeks in advance of that at the upper
end Of the valley, and is well headed out
with but little smut apparent, and all the
ranchmen are assured that their wheat will
be OF xxx quality. Az we approached
GALLATIN CITY
the first thing that attracted our attention
was the handsome Greeley, Brown aud Ma
ginnis flag, hoisted in front Of G, Ii. Camp
BELLS store, and floating proudly in the
breeze in triumph at the victory achieved by
one Of its heroes, and confidence in the abili-
ty of the other two to come off victorious IN
the coming contest. This is the FLAG about
which SO much ''buncombe'' has been ex-
pended Of late by some would-be patriotic
individuals who, because they had never
seen anything Of the kind before, thought
they had found ..mare's nest,' and, wish
ing to display to an admiring people their
knowledge OF .fagosogs, forthwith proclaimed
it to the world as .srebel' banner! O wise
and discriminating youths how much it is
to be regretted that so much wisdom should
he permitted to escape from the maternal
leading-strings! For our part, we fail to see
any significance, other than its originality Of
design, intended, principally, to display the
White and Blue," our national colors.
Business appears to be dull at present, but
signs Of improvement are apparent; in addi-
lion to the two stores now running, Messrs.
Ellis, Davis & Sporting, Of Bozeman, are
erecting commodious building for business
which, when completed, will add
much to the importance OF the place. The
touring mills are at present idle, but the pro-
Drietor, G. d. Thomas, Esq, is busily en-
yagvd making preparations for an extensive
business this fall. When we visited the mill
ne found Mr.. Thomas engaged in distribu-

HISS f.ifTUFCL

This English female lecturer who is enter
tanning American audiences is described as
follows:
Personally, Miss Faithful is the very en-
bodiment Of jolly, good-natured English
lady, ruddy of complexion, and with a stout
figure that decidedly comes uuder the head
of "roly- poly" Her face is strong, and the
brow and jaw are uncompromsingly square.
The only really feminine feature are the eyes,
they are so sunny and kindly, and they really
give new life to the entire face. She has a
firm mouth, but when she opens it to smile
she displays such white, even teeth as very
few women have. They, too, look strong and
healthy. Her brown haiyis cut short in her
neck, and is tied careessly back with black
velvet ribbon not by any means the most
becoming style of hair dressing for her, but
decidedly the most comfortable and easiest,
and that is Recommendation. Although she
is perfect picture of health, yet she is n
great sufferer; indeed most women in her
place would call themselves confirmed inva
lids and give themselves to be cared for by
others, rather than constantly, like her, keep
at work caring for some one else. She sufi.
ers from asthma and neuralgia, but she shuts
her mouth and never complains, no matter
how i'll she may be. 1t is rather nlascu-
line dread OF being called fussy and a horror
of being thought an invalid, which doesn't
seem to her the most desirable thing in the
world, as it does to some members OF her sex.
In mode of dress, as in looks, Miss Faithful
shows her nationality. Her platform cos
tune was heavy black silk, trimmed with
yards and yards of Honton lace, put on in
every available place, making such strong
contrast with the black of the dress. Her
manner is quiet and lady like, but very as
sured. She never iorgets herself, and never
wares to her subject so far as to grow I'M
FASHIONED or anything but very quietly digai-
fed. She by no means possesses any orator.
zeal power, and to compare her with Miss
Dickinson, as SO many persons did before
her appearance, is simply absurd. The differ.
ence between the two is very striking. Miss
Dickinson is an orator, fiery and impassioned,
and intensely emotional. Miss Faithful is a
pleasant q0coateuse, a bright conversationalist,
and keen critic. She pleases, but never
moves; it is rather like sitting down anu lis.

A PARTING SHOT.

The Nation improves the opportunity in
this weeks issue to pay its compliments to
the despairing Greeleyites. 1t says:
The World has practically given up the
Presidential contest in a philosophical article
intended TO show that it makes little difference
who is elected, which is a concession of some
value. as it was che firm belief of the Demo-
Gratis, and of many of the Liberal Republic
cans, six or eight months ago that the cobtin-
uance of Grant four years longer in office
would prove the ruin of free government in
America. They were measurably successful
in making converts to this belief extravagant
as it was, until they produced their remedy.
When they said that Greeley was the only
hope of the country, people began to lose
confidence in what they said about Grant, and
have been losing it steadily ever since. In
deed, the experience the country has had with
them is not unlike that which people some
times have with lunatics. crazy man will
often tell strangers very plausible and CO.
herent story about the prosecutions of which
he is the object, and the losses and vexations
to which his enemies subject him, and obtain
general credence; but when he comes down
to details, and tells you that his own mother
and the pastor of his church often pass the
night under his bed, on all tours, pushing IN
the mattress with their backs, his tale assumes
quite a different aspect SO the public was
really getting alarmed by the accounts some
OF us gave OF the Presidents ignorance and
| usurpations and Of the abuses of the civil ser.
vice, until we introduced Greeley as the great
administrative reformer. Then there came a
terrible laugh, and people began to see n
queer, wild look in the Liberal Eye, and won
der they had not remarked it before.

THE COALITION BUBBLE.

The collapse Of the coalition bubble,
which has been sustained by the most per-
sistent high-pressure policy of groundless
Boosting. seems about to take place even
before the day of election. We have re-
ported from day to day the abandonment
of the sinking ship by prominent men in
all parts of the country, and especially
since the October election decided the
contest, evidence OF the melting away of
the Greeley avalanche" which was to
sweep all before it. has been aceumula-
ting.
The fact is, there has been 10 real heart
in the coalition canvass, and, since the
national offices are finally decided to be
beyond the reach of the managers, their
efforts have been turned to more practi-
cal business than the defence of MIR. Gree
ley's fitness for office. Hoping to save
something from the general wreck. they
have naturally abandoned the national
canvass, and are devoting their time and
money to the particular localities in which
they are interested The democrats still
say that they hope to carry this State and
New Jersey, and they are not impracti-
cable enough to abandon crcn this hope
for the purpose of advocating Grceleyism
in Pennsylvania and Ohio. General
Banks flatters himself with the notion that
he can be returned to Congress in the
Fifth Massachusetts district, and he runs
home to promote his own claims, thinking
no more of carrying the doubtful States
for his candidate. Governor Curtin has
settled down quietly in the conviction
that, half loaf being better than no bread
he will be satisfied with seat in the
Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention,
and not struggle for one in the new cabi-
net that might have been but for the lack
of votes. Judge Trumbull hopes that,
however badly Greeleyism may be beaten
in his State, by strict devotion to local
affairs. aided by Republican divisions, he
may save his seat in the Senate. In fact,
the Greeley leaders no longer appear to
be SO anxious for distinction in the SER
vice Of the coalition as they are to save
few crumbs from the feast which is already
prepared for others.
These facts are so plain that even the
iiercest Greeley organs are specializing
upon the changes to be made in Grants
cabinet next spring, and upon the proba-
bilities of the foreign policy under his Sec
ond administration. More than this, their
arithmetic men have begun to discover
that the simple rules Of addition and sub
traction hold as well in elections as in any
other business where figures prevail. For
example: A correspondent of the Herald,
who has all along been canvassing this
State and reporting astonishing develop
ments in the inroads of Greeleyism upon
the Republican party, has finally conclu-
lied that the democrats are going to stay
at home in sufficient numbers to give the
electoral ticket to Grant and Wilson by
fourteen thousand majority. lie might

good many of the Republicans whom he
has set down for Greeley win also stay at
