and two adorinG angels 1T her feet"
are in the possession Of the Marquis
Of Butte. "Iliawatha's Wooing,"
"HNgenc,' &c. attest the wonderful
gift OF the sculptress. We understand
that a fine bust Of Lonstcllow is about
to be put in marble, which has been
ordered by Harvard College.
Miss Lewis wears Il beautiful gold
medal which was awarded her as il
prize for fine work of art, in one Of
the yearly exhibitions which the
sculptols Of Italy have for the display
OF thci; productions. This organiza-
ton is composed of the nobility and
artists in sculpture, Of which King
Victor Emanuel is the head. Miss
Lewis wears one Of the prizes as de
livcrcd to her by tho committee who
decided iii favor Of her work.

Hardin.'s Brass Band lent a pccll-
liar charm to tie affair, by their rare
productions from Strauss, Ciienbach.
and other magnatcs Of tie musical
world.
Nessrs. Larkins and johnson (cur

NEW Sage HoUTE.-Wc arc adj
visei f.om Washington that tri-
weekly mailwill be established between
Hclcna and Fort Buford, and Montana
parties are figuring for the contract,
who, if it is awarded to them, will put
ilst class line of stages on the route,
making quick and cheap transit of
passengers and connect at Buford with
the weekly line of steamers, which in
turn connect with the n. p. Il. r. at
Bismarck. The route has already
been let from bismarck to B;.ford.-
This would very materially benefit
Montana and We hope our adyices are
correct. 1t is also stated that the n.
P. II. Il. Co. has already received suffi-
cientprivate and government contracts
for freight to assure it a profitable
operation of the road to Bismarck, the
business being largely increased over
last year.-North- West.

UONTIN IA BEEF FOR THE EAST.
From the MOntanian.l

Nat Weed informs us that he has
three hundred and forty Tread Of fine
aged beef steers that he is feeding this
winter with the intention OF drivin.
them to the railroad in tho spring and
shipping east or west. We under
stand there arc other stock raisers i'll
this and adjoining counties who con-
template driving to the railroad in the
spring, and from reports from all
quarters as near us we can judge there
will be several thousand head Of beef
cattle driven to other markets from
Montan:. in the spring. We are glad
to see this move on the part of our
stock men for the sale of Il few thous-
and bccvcs from Montana, for cash
will ease up money matters very much
among lis. The mOhcy received from
this source will about all be brought
back into Montana and put into circu
lat,oI, and all will receive more or less
benefit from it. There are hundreds
Of head of beef cattle Ill Montana that
have attained sllch an ago that it is
NJ longer profitable to their owners to
hCki' tHStIis atilu ~ ltatS DNSOilC HVSSS-
sary for them to seek some other than
our home market that has come to be
no market at all, considering our i'm
mense supply CT beef On our first
page will be found an article referring
to Il late shipment Of dressed beef i'll
refrigerator cars from Denver city to
New York. The News of the former
city has no doubt of the success Of the
enterprise and expects that Territory
to realize immense advantages and
profits from that mode Of transporting
its surplus beef to market. Had we
rail communication Montana could al
so take ad vantage Of the modern way
Of getting beef 10 market. And even,
if the road was clc.r Of hostile 1ndi-
ans to Bismarck orr stock men could
drive there during the spring and
summer, butcher and ship to New
York in refrigerator cars. At Bis
marck they would be much nearer
New York than ar. our Colorado
neighbours. Let us pray the Indians
may bc whipped out between here and
Bismarck and that the n. L. may
build a few miles west Of the Missouri
the coming season.

LIFE IN WAsH1NGTON.-To-day is
like it always was, only more extrava-
giant and more dissipated. Every
person drinks here, and young men
so staggering along Pennsylvania
avenue ''tuller an goose" and no
one is surprised. The Latin Dun
Tir;mus TirGmus seems to be the toast
everybody drinks.
Washington has many allnrements
for young man who has no other OBJ
ject in life than to be considered one
Of the . tom l met today at the Eb-
bet House young man whom have
known for ten years. When first
knew him he had good constitution,
a quick eye, and his handsome ap-
pcarance gave him an easy passport
into society. His father is, and has
been for several years, a Senator from
one of the West, I'll States, and thru
his influence the son has had divers
positions; but the fatigue { incident
to Washington society has made the
young man wreck, his constitution
is not what it was, wandered vacant
" into space. Young man, if you
have mover been to Washington l
would advise you to quit smoking
cigars for month, and save up money
enough to come ard spend week,
and then go home. Never come here
to stay if you can keep the wolf FROM
the door at home, because if YOU are
not we'll fortified with "sand' and
sncrve7 you will become drunkard
and die sot. The temptations are
strong, and Of such character that
but few young men can view them
without rartaking Of the evil connect
ell with them. To a Western young
man a clcrkship in one of the depart
mants, as viewed from a distance, is
an object Of desire, but to those WHO
have .'bccn there" it has no a.uac-
tons. 4 young man spends me best
years of his life, mere machine to be
cast aside at airy E.o.ncnt, and with
nothing to support nim.

Some one contributes to the Ledger
a new and touching anccdotc Of Prcsi-
dent Llncoln's goodness of heart. The
President dropped into Secretary
Stanton's Office one morning and seat
cd himself at 4 table on which were a
number of petitions for appointment
to an important position recently va
Gated. and after looking at one or two
Of the formidable documents. bristlinc
with niflhcntial names, asked the Sec
rotary it he had selected Il man for the
post. Mr.. Stanton replied that he had
not; that he found it very difficult to
do so on account Of The numerous per
sons who would he offended by an adj
verse appointment, and he was anxious
at that time to retain the friendship OF
all. The President continued to look
over the petitions, and rthc bottom
came upon one bearing the single sig
nature Of the applicant. "Poor 81.
low" said Mr.. Lincoln, ..hcac must he
a man without friends. No one to
speak word in his favor. Aud how
simply he asks for the situation-as
though it were the sffice Of a peda-
gogue in frontier school. Do YOU
know the man. The Secretary look
cd It the raper and said he did. and
recalled to the Presidents mind a
Young man who had been intorlucr,i
to him with his mother, the night be-
fore. and in reyly to another question
said he thought him qualified for the
position. Then" said Mr.. Lincoln.
las he seems SO entirely fiiendless
among the multitude who have friends
without number, l will he his friend.
He shall have one at ieast.r And he
picked up a pen and placed his strong
autograph upon the margin Of the
Young mans petition. 1t is needless
to add that the person thus bcfriended
received the appointment.
