PERsoNAL.--We had call tins week from
Mr.. A. M. Esler, of Helena. Mr.. Esler has
had charge of the Helena Reduction Works
for some time past, and under his superior
practical management the works proved
quite Successful. He is largely Interested
in the Clark's Fork mines,-and informs us
that an assay of ore taken from these mines
proves them to be the richest silver mines
vet struck in the Territory. He went over
to the Yellowstone Tuesday, OH business con
nected with his mines on Clark's Fork. we
believe. and on his return twill visit the ia
nous Cherry Creek mines, with the view OF
purchasing quartz on the dump. We call
attention to his notice, published in to-day, s
COURIER. for the purchase Of quartz. This
offer of Mr.. Esler TO purchase quartz at the
mines will be great benefit to miners, and
enables the poorest miner to develop his lead
with the prospect of an early return for his
labor. g
The jolly couhtenance of Col. Ford, which
has been absent from our streets tor three

MISUNDERSTANDING last. taking adyan-
tage of dali and idle hour. in company
with Geo. 5. Coleman, Esq, we found our
way to Fort Ellis, the military post within
three miles Of this city. erected a. D., 1867
and first commanded by Captain r. S. La
Motto. now Major of the 18th infantry, and
stationed at Nashville. The post was origin
ally erected for three companies and now,
under the command of Col. d. p. Hancock,
it is occupied by five companies, four OF
which are cavalry. 1t is expected that tllis
post will soon be increased to accommodate
six companies, and officers quar- tiers and
| mems barracks tor that purpose may soon be
erected, as a bill for appropriation is now
perdiag before Congress. Whether, iii the
improvement of the National PARK and the
settlement of the Yellowstone country SUR
rounding it another military post will be es-
tablished is yet problem, but if so, this post
must still be All aliimportant one, and
is likely to be base of supplies, because
of its geographical situation and excellent
agricultural surroundings. The history OF
the command of this post is creditable, and
so far as we are informed, they have never
yet met with defeat in their many fights,
against the marauding Indians in this Terri
tory, the assertion Of Hon. w. III. Clagett III
Congress that four hundred cavalry of this
post were defeated and driven back TO the
settlements by the Teton Sioux to the con
trary Notwithstanding. The present quarters
are comfortable, clean and military-like and
to the officers there we beg to offer our
thanks Tor their uniform courtesy and inform
alton when asked, while, at the same time
suggest that their discipline and attention to
duty may be readily seen In the general good
conduct of their command.

Ben. Butler as a Sehoolmaster.

An old gentleman from Cornville, In Som
erset County, tells the following story of Ben
Butler: &
In his younger days, Ben taught school in
that town. He was not liked very well, how
ever, and one day big boy, one of his schol-
ars, meeting our informant told him conf
dentially, that 'sthat night at spelling school,
they were just going to pitch the master out
of the school-house," and said ''they didn't
dare to do it in the day school, but in the
evening he had no more rights than they had
and they were going to show him thing or
two" a ol 51F
Accordingly the gentleman went that even
ing to witness the undertaking, but, contrary
to his expectation, there was no disturbance,
and everything passed off pleasantly. Meet
ing his informant of the day before, the next
morning, he SAID to him: CD ferfrr
o GLOW was it, Jerry, thought you were
going to carry the master out Of doors last
night?" A i tl-
''WeH, we did mean to- said the boy,
sheepishly. r.s ilr. 5lr -
80 you said,' was the answer, '.but it
seems you didn't undertake it,.
"No-o," hesitatingly.
swell, what was the reason, Jerry, can't
-yeu tell a fellow?" an. ..- .z-r r'...-.
swell, you see," said the other. desperate
ly, zone of the boys happened to be near the
master, last night, and his coat swung back,
and he saw the butt-end of of pistol stick
ing out OF his pocket, and then we con-
cluded we wouldn't tackle him."
.'Humphr' was observed, 'syou needn't
have been afraid, he wouldn't have dared to
fire it at you?' d.-s5r .r-,-sa.b al,

FISH FOR MANURE. used fish
scraps as manure, and knowing something of
its manufacture, have become convinced
that, at 500 a ton, after it has gone through
the maggot and heating state, it is the cheap-
est special fertilizer that can be had. One
hundred and twenty-five pounds should fill a
barrel, and one that weighs more than that
has got either too much water or sand in it.
Air-dried scraps, suitable for packing, con-
tain about 30 per cent of water, yet some is
sold that contains more than go, besides sand.
My experience is, that at $50 ton, counting
125 pounds to the barrel, 1t will pay to use in
the market garden; don't think it would on
field crops. 1t appears to be available at a
lower temperature than guano or phosphate; !;
hence its value in raising CROP where
weeks time makes the difference between a
large profit and small one Once tried it

At an English Christmas cattle SNOW

onv other distinction which its merits and
good conduct deserve, but it Is not easy TO
see what pleasure or benefit such an animal

tbe nossession of claIet jug. Claret is mot
the usual beverage of cows, and even If it
were, the jugs which hold it are so construct
ed that it would be impossible for those crea-
lures to drink out of them; and the.mere con-
temptation of a claret jug, silver mounted and
all, must be matter of indifference even to

DIRECTIONS FOR WASHING MATING AMI
OI-cLorHs.-M Mating should never be wash
ed with anything but salt and water-a pint
of salt to half pailful of soft water, moder-
ately warm. Dry quickly with soft cloth.
Twice during the season will probably be sui-
hcient washing for bedroom, but room
much used will require it somewhat oftener.
Oil-cloth is ruined by the application OF iye
soap, as the lye eats the cloth. and, after pc
ing washed, it should be wiped perfectly dry,
or the dampness will soon rot 1t. II iaia
down where the sun will shine on it much, II
will be apt to stick fast to the floor, unless
