Hon. GEonGE s. COLEMAN, one of the
Representatives from Gallatin county. is
very favorably spoken of by his friends for
Speaker, provided an election is gone into.
Our friend Coleman will make an excellent
presiding officer. Heis of q calm, cool tenn
permanent. and exceedingly well qualified to
preside over delberative body. If our
friend Rogers should not retain the Speaker
ship it would be vers gratifying to MS to see
George s. Coleman elected to that honorable
position, which. we feel. he would fill with
credit TO himself and the Territory.

OUR LOCAL FUR TRADE.
Mr. Etals, of Deer Lodge. professedly ia
milIar with the business OF 1ur catching in
Montana, contributes the following: The
prices now paid by our merchants for good
pelts are nearly three times as high as were
paid few years ago, and many hunters and
trappers who quit the business when prices
were low, for more remunerative employ
ment, have again started in pursuit of the
beaver, mink, musrat, fox, weasel and wolf.
and early in the season every trap for sale in
the country was readily sold. But new sup
plies have been lately received and others no
doubt will engage in the business before the
the active mining season opens. / know of
individuals who cleared from 800 to ST, 900
last winter and one man made 81 900 from
wolf pelts alone. Our rivers, creeks and
mountains abound with game valuable for
peits alone, and as the anus ement for hunt
Ing is when game is plentiful is considered
sufficient compensation to many men for the
time and labor expended, what better coun-
try could we desire; since here men can de-
vote seven months in the year to profitable
mining and spend the other five In remuner-
alive amusement catching furs. The bust
ness OF catching and trading in fursAin Moi
ANA is yet inits Infancy, as the prices now
paid are likely to rise rather than tall, and
he inducements for men to continue in the
business are increasing. 1t is impossible to
'verstock the market, and in proportion as
he quantity offered for sale increases in bulk
ties the price more nearly to the actual stand
rd of real worth.

The Trustees of the Public Libr. ry of Ken
lucky and the management OF the Gift Con-
cert announce the postponement of the Fourth
Gift Concert until Tuesday, the 3lst OF March
next.
The public will readily understand the
causes which have made this postponement
necessary.
The financial panic, which has Tor the last
two months paralyzed business in every sec
ton OF this country and Of Europe, has pre-
vented thousands from investing in tickets
The epidemics pervading the entire South
have cut off large and valuable market.

of these causes, have expected postpone
mcnt and have declined to invest Without a
more positive assurance of the drawing TAX
ing place on fixed day.
All interested desire full drawino. hnt
fo- the reasons just stated this could not be
had on the Sd of December, but The short
postponement announced will secure it.
The management have met with u a,,rece-
dented success. The sale of tickets, the pro-
ceeds of which have already been received.
amount to OVER MILLION DOLLARS, with a
number of agencies in this country yet TO
hear from, and all those in Europe.
Thus a drawing Sealing the gifts one-half)
could be had now, but the management deem
it best to haYeI postponement and t1u
draa0ing.
This postponement assures The sale of all
the tickets and A FULL ORA WING. That
this determination will meet with the appro-
baton of nearly every one interested is made
apparent by the very numerous letters re-
ceived from every section of this country
aud the Canadas, asking for postponement.
This action OF the management will work
10 detriment to any, but will be for the go cd
IF all. BY it the fortunate ticket hol ders

Rev. Hugh Duncan while in Virginia last

Board OF Directors OF the Montana Peniten-

ton His Excellency Governor 3. I. Potts
arrived from Virginia CRY and succeeding
his arrival Warden G.. B. Adriance, rendered
his resignation which was accepted and Mr..
/. n. Buck OF Deer Lodge was appointed In
his stead, We do not understand that any
grave differences existed between the Gov
ernor and MIR. Adriance, in fact that it was a
matter of only couple of dollars expended
by MIR. Adriance for articles the Governor
did uot think it necessary to supply the pris-
oncrs with, which caused the lack OF harmony
between the two gentlemen. However, the
Governor has control of the prison and as
we believe he carries his ideas of rigid econ
omy into every department he controls and
for che bests interests OF the Territory, we
presume in this instance he did for the best
as he saw it, Than Mr. Buck the appointee,
he could not have stsseeted worthier or more

The Eucalyptus

Inasmuch as the Eucalyptus or Australian gum
tree has been found to flourish in these Islands,
notably at Makawao and Ulupalakua, on Maui
some facts regarding the tree, set forth in the re-
Gently published report of the California Pharma-
ceutal Society, will be of interest to our readers.
We give q brief synopsis of this part of the report,
from the San Francisco BulLetln:
The fourth annual report of the California Phar-
maceutical Society devotes much attention to the
remedial powers of the Australian gum tree, (Euca-
Iyptus GiObuius) the general introduction of which
in this State has lately been urged by medical and
scientific gentlemen, in view Of its medicinal virtues,
ornamental appearance, and utility in the arts. 1t
belongs to the order of Myrtace, the same that
furnish the Glove and the pimento berry, also the
Melaleuca Minroe, which yields caJeput oil, and
grows often to gigantic size. 1t is impregnated in
all portions with a peculiar aromatic substance, most
abundant in the leaves and flowers, which yield by
distiIlation about four per cent. of fragrant volatile
oil. 1t is believed that the oil will be an effective
remedy against malarious diseases of all types, and
that the presence of the trees, cultivated in gardens,
will contribute to sanity the atmosphere from those
emanations which give origin to epidemic diseases.
That the parasitic insects which infest other plants
d. not relish the Eucalyptus is evident from the
general cleanness of the leaves and the fact that the
hy6rocarbOn oils are fatal to animal life. The balmy
perfume, therefore, that exhales from them must
hayean influence in destroying the parasites which
frequent shrubs growing in their vicinity. tending to
diminitf if not suppress them. The Society has
great hopes of the successful application of the med
icinal prAducts of the Eucalyptus, and that they will
ultimately supersede drugs now in use.

AnneXation-No. z.

Let US examine the capacity of these islands for a
sugar producing country. If space permitted, I
could point out and name every valley and land in
the group capable of producing cane. 1t is useless
to try and deceive ourselves and others as to the ex-
tent Of our capacity for producing sugar. I again
repeat that there are not more than 1000 square
miles Of arabic land On these islands. I mean by
that, good agricultural land that can be plowed and
cultivated by the implements of modern civilization
l will begin with Niihau and examine the agricul-
tural lands to the southern point Of Hawaii. 1 shall
particularly refer TO the cane-producing lands. Out
side Of this there is much more that might be profit
ably cultivated in coffee and other productions, and
the area is about as three to ole as compared with
sugar.
On Niihau, there is not a stream Of water for irri-
CATION nor will it be pretended that out Of the 68,-
900 acres of that island, which were segregated from
the use CT our native population, for the paltry sum
Of $4,000, there is any land that could be profit
ably cultivated in q sugar plantation. Before it was
destroyed by sheep and cattle i. produced and sus-
tanned one of the most hardy and active portions of
our native population, Of about one thousand per-
sons, who we're prosperous and happy in the c%ultiva-
ton of their yams, bananas, onions and other vege-
tables, and were skilled in making their beautiful
mats. A few foreigners supply their place, who own
all the land there is no native population but their

Masters and Servants Law in England

In the Saturday Revie0 for February s, under
the head of " Manchester Anxieties," we end the
following paragraph, by which it appears that in
free England as well as in Hawaii nei, breach of a
contract of service is punishable with imprison-
ment:
Mr.. Crompton has repeated, in an article in the
F0rtaiqhig HeCielo. under the title Glass Legisla-
ton the statements and arguments which be lately
addressed to the Trade Unions Congress at Leeds.
He denounces as an intOlerable grievance the pro-
visions of the Masters and Servants Act by which
breach of contract on the part Of workmen is made
punishable by imprisonment. The expediency aud
justice of any law are proper subjects Of discussion;
but the controversy is not settled by the allegation
that the liability is not reciprocal. II the master
improperly dismisses the workman, damages may
be recovered by the injured party but there is no
use in bringing an action against a workman who
has deserted his employment. Mr.. Crompton in
deed proposes "a juster law for enforcing the pay
ment of penalties against the poor but in many
cases workmen. when they break their engagements,
migrate to other districts and tue distress to which
their families are reduced when labor is interrupted
would generally render the recovery of penalties
impossible"
Delegates from the different London trade societies
have adopted a resolutions expressing sym
pathyki ssumed by the Welsh GOLFERS.
