Town Commemorations.

The Tinmouth monument exercises
held week before last, at the completion
of a monument erected by the State in
honor Of Judge Nathaniel ChipmaD, who
lived and died in Observation-Disclosures
the fact of the generous, popular senti-
ment which answers to the claims and
memories of the past. There is filal
sympathy with ancestry which is famil-
lar, if we are shown the trials and tri-
umphs through which its virtues may
have passed, and patriotism supplies in
the identity of place a source of attach.
ment to individual merit, it is an instinct
to cherish and declare, In this senti.
ment the credentials of the nobility of a
race are apparent, that they do feel a
family kindred with the eminence of their
predecessors whose memories remain, and
have made what is honorable in their
town, part and parcel with their own per.
sonal character. They are the nobler
for their past, and this is the test of the
height of virtue to which themselves may
attain.
The social affections are another de.
partmeDt of the nature of people which
occasions of this kind appeal to. The
warmth Of common sentiment brings
these into play in their meeting. The
beauty and gaiety of the young in at
tendance upon the company is common
property Of affection to the whole, the
"reminiscences of all are an interchange of
attachment to the same things, and of a
unity in similar feelings. 1t is a mistake
to suppose that the dominant habits of
social life are all that pertains to Il of
good, its industry, its religion, its poli,i-
cal interests. There is more of man than
the usual circumstances bring out, and
these resources Of critical times are social
elements OF his nature, which make him
heroic and devoted, or sympathetic and
friendly in the common good. This is
the best department of his nature. With.
out it selfshness controls him, and the
public good is subordinated to private
profit.
Nathaniel Chapman was an unse6sh
man, the wisest student of his day, cher.
ished in critical times for his wisdom, re.
vered for his juridical discrimination and
simple regard for law. The ideal of his
character was classical, that which en-.
dures the test Of all ages and climes, a
purity of public service never shadowed.
On this line he kept the faith as a stu
dent and thinker, through life of much
personal trial in its circumstances and
periods Of moderate success, a favorite
with the community for that which was
most honorable to himself A generation
has passed away, and the same commun.
ty, in the place Of his home, ennobles it.
self again by the appreciation of his
memory. He is theirs additionally. a
property of civic character rare to in.
herit. But the opportunity to attest this
appreciation is rarer aud better still, in
the fcrvor Of their common regard for
the same peculiar excellence, and the as.
surance Of their common devotion to the
same ennobliug sentiment. The monu.
nent may outlast the feeling of the day,
but the sentiment is rarer. better, and
more durable than monuments. Shall
we find the same better spirit among Our.
selves, should we test it with the memo.

How MONKEYS ARE CAUGHT.-Froin
the chapter on mcnageries, in Olive Lo-
gan's volume, Before the Foot lights and
Behind the Scenes we make the follow
ing extract
Monkeys are such cunning creatures
one would suppose them much more
difficult to catch than any other wild
animals. Pitfalls will take lion, and
the famished monarch of the desert will,
after few days of starvation, dart into
a cage containing food, and thus be SC.
cured. But how are the monkeys
caught The ape family resembles man.
Their vices are human. They love liquor,
and fall. In Danfour and Sabaar, the
natives meke fermented beer, of which
the monkeys are very fond. Aware of
this the natives 60 to the parts Of the
forest frequented by the monkeys, and
set on the ground caabashes full of the
enticiog liquor.-As soon as the monkey
sees and tastes it, he utters cries of joy
that soon attracts his comrades Then
an orgie begins, and in short time the
beasts show all degrees of intoxication.
Then the negroes appear The drinkers
are too far gone to distrust them for larg.
er species than their own genus. The
negroes take them up, and these immedi-
ately begin to weep and cover them with
kisses. When a negro takes one by the
hand to lead him off, the nearest monkey
will cling to monkey who thus finds a
support, and endeavors to get off also.
Another will grasp at him and so on, un-
til the negro leads staggering line of
ten or dozen tipsey monkeys When
finally brought to the village they are Sc
curely Gagged, and gradually sober down,
but for two or three days a gradually y
diminishing supply Of liquor is given
them, so as to reconcile them by degrees
to their state Of captivity.

OLD PETE's CoNscIENcE.-The colored
brother who is conscious of the infrmities
of man, and aspires to higher and puror
life is seldom without words to express
his emotions, abbott sometimes in phrase
II ore direct and blunt than elegant. So
it was with an old negro named Pete, who
was very much troubled about his sins.
Perceiving him one day with a downcas,
look, bis master asked bin the cause.

But Pete said his master, you are
foolish to take it so much to heart. You
never see me troubled about my sins

PERsoNAL.-Hon. N. P. Langford, u. S
Bank Examiner and Superintendent of the
National Park, arrived in this place ON Fri
day from the East via Virginia City. His
visit was of an official character, in cen
uection with the First National Bank OF this
city. which he reports in excellent condition.
Mr.. Langford informed us that he intended
to urge the matter of an appropriation for
the improvement Of the National Park, the
construction of good roads to and through
the Park, etc., before Congress the coming
session. Congress having set aside that vast
and wonderful country as National Park,
and thereby excluding private enterprise
from opening up that country, and furnish
ing the thousands of visitors who viii be
annually ffocking there with the necessary
accommodations of life, should make lib
eral appropriation tor the purposes herein
named.

PoLITENESs.-Politenes is the honey of cx-
istence. We like politeness. We are happy
to observe that our Bozeman youths are well
supplied with this indispensable requisite,
and that on all occasions they exhibit this
virtue. But too much poiiteness sometimes
gets person into dilemma; as, tor instance,
on Sunday, when young lady in church
dropped har glovo in tho pew. a Young ex-
qnisite politely stooped to pick it up for her.
and seeing the embroidered border of her
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES on the floor, he picked
that up too, when an angry ejaculation from
the young lady and dig in the back of the
hand from the point OF the young lady's par
asel adaonished him that he hadn't better
pick mp that handkerchief From the heated
appearance of his count enance when he arose
we should judge he was sitting too near the
stove, and from his evident absent-minded-
ness during the remainder of the services, we
fear that the admonitions OF the preacher fell
on barren ground, at least SO far as the young
man was concerned. When he meets the
young lady on the street now he suddenly
bethinks himself of trifiing purchase he has
to make in the nearest store, and goes for it
forthwith.

A RARE CoLLECTIoN.--Judge Ill. N. Ma
guire, our next door neig hbor, has succeeded
in getting together, aided by DR.. Crepin, one
of the finest private mineral cabinets We ever
saw in the Territory. He is indebted to the
Doctor, we believe, for nearly all his ore
specimens. which represent the leading mines
of Eastern Montana; but the cabinet is
mainly made up Of rare and curious speci-
mems obtained by the Judge on his recent
tour of observation to the Upper Yellowstone
and Geyser regions, and embraces silica for
nations of every conceivable form, great
variety Of agates ard pretrifactions, marine
fossils, volcanic walnuts, jasper, var iegated
slate, a brilliant array of amethysts, and in
Vulnerable other curious and beautiful things
from Wonderland. He also has in his cabi-
net specimen of Aztec pottery from South
eastern Nevada, and the tooth with petrifled
flesh attached) of carnivorous animal sup
posed to beextinct. The collection is attrac-
lively displayed in the Judges office, and he
takes pleasure in exhibiting and explaining
the specimens to Yisitors. He will make adj
ditions constantly.
