When, what to my wondering eyes should

But miniature sleigh and eight tiny

With little old driver, SO lively and

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly

Splendid Chance to Secure q Cheap

Splendid Chance to Secure 4 Cheap
Home.
A splendid opportunity is offered by
the Board of the Catholic Industrial
School Of Minnesota for securing val.
liable residence property in and con-
tigious to the city of St. Paul, for a
small outlay, and at the same time aid
ing in esta blishing this school-one Of
the most creditable enterprises ever
undertaken by religious denomina-
ton in the State--on sound financial
basis. This proposition provides for
the distribution among those purchas-
ing shares Of property worth $l44,000,
which is divided into $500 shares at only
$40 share. In this property is a
splendid stone residence occupying one
of the most slightly and attractive Local
lions in St. Paul, lately the property
of Jud &c Underwood. valued at $780,
600. Then there is another fine resi-
dcnce valued at $500 with upwards
of 400 lots, from an ordinary sized city
lot up to five acres, and valued at $3.50
each to $4,000. In addition each
shareholder gets subscription to any
of the St. Paul dailies for year, or its
equivalent in weekly subscription to
either the Northwestern Chronicle,
Western Times or the Wamderer.
This scheme is by far the most liber.
al ever offered in the Northwest. All
the property offered is desirably locs-
ted, and is rapidly gaining in value by
the growth of st. Paul and Minneapo.
lis, and the rapid settlement Of the
country lying between the two cities,
and will be still further advanced in
value by the erection Of the school
buildings for which purpose the prop
erty is SO Id, and on which improve
ments have already been commenced to
cost $4,000.
The Board of the Industrial School
who have the real management Of all
the details Of this magnificent scheme,
comprise some Of the most honorable
and widely known citizens Of the State.
As their immediate agent and manager,
they have selected j. W. Fralick, Of
St. Paul, whose name is synonymous
with honor and untiring energy, az cs.
'pecially shown in the perfectly sue
cessful and satisfactory manner in
which he conducted the recent distri-
button of the Wann property in St.
Paul.
Another guarantee TO purchasers Of
shares is found in the fact that all
moneys arc to be held by Hon. John S
Prince, cashier of the st. Paul Savings
Bank, who will retain them until the
distribution takes place, and the deeds,
ETC., for all the property has been de-
posted with him, thus securing the
shareholder from all possibility of loss.
The distribution will take place on
or before March lst. Communications
should be addressed to j.. W. Fralick,,
Agent and Manager, Savings Bank, St.
Paul.

The abandonment by the Govern
ment, some years ago. OF the military
posts Forts G. 4. Smith and Phil
Kearney-guarding the Powder river
route, and releasing thereby to the In
dians ansssvenue OF entrance and exit
OF great Importance to this Territory,
was misfortune which the people OF
Montana have not yet ceased to Ia
ment. The many efforts since made
to convince the Government of its mis-
take, and to induce the re-establish-
ment Of the abandoned highway, have
met with little or no encouragement,
although the strongest arguments
have rot been wanting to show the
utility to the United States of the
same, and the manifold benefits to ac-
cvue in that event to an important
scope Of country, including this Terri
torial dependency. Tothe credit of our
people be it said, that they have never
wholly despaired of realizing at some
near period the consrmmation of their
hopes and desires in the particular
matter indicated, and if defeated once
or q dozen times, they had the courage
to persist and the heart to try again
to obtain what they sought and to
which they felt sure they were justly
entitled.
Last week our cOtemporary at Boze-
man, the AvANT COURIER, recurred
to this subject, with the basis Of tele-
gram from Col. L. NJ. Black, Of which
a copy is set out below, to urge the
adoption Of the project:
WASHINGTON, May Is.
Capt. Joseph Wright, Editor Courier:
The amendment to the Indian bill,
reopening the Cheyenne Road and
Powder river country. has passed the
House. Maginnis and Steele made an
able fight and won a real victory for
Eastern Montana. They are entitled
to the highest credit. The President
promises to carry out the amendment.
L. M. BLACK.
This is certainly good news, and We
shall estimate it highly il no disap
pointment comes at last to dash our
hnpes to the ground. The re-opening
Of the road through from Cheyenne to
B0zeman means the re-OccupatiOn by
the Government of the section of coun-
try largely given up to the Sioux, the
establishment of military posts
along the old line, the ordering of mail
service over the road, and the protec-
tion to travel and transportation on
the favOrite rOute-lost for the past
several years-to Montana. Let the
Powder river route be restored to our
people, and the rejoicing at Bozeman
will be taken up and participated in
by every part Of the Territory.

ANECDOTE CONCERNING GEN.
ERII LEE.

1
In his lecture before the Georgia
Historical Society, Hon. Ben. Hill re-
lated the following incident:
There were many pecnliarities iii
the habits and character OF Lee, which
are little known and which may be
Studied with profit. He studiOuSly
avoided giving opinions upon subjects
which it had not been his calling or
training to investigate; and some
times Thought he carried this great
virtue too far. Neither the President
nor Congress nor friends could get his
views upon any public question not
strictly military, and no man had as
much quiet, unObtrusive contempt fOt
which he called military statesmen
and political generals" Meeting him
once Oh the streets of Richmond, as I
was going out and he going in the ex-
ccutive office, said to him, General,
l wish you would give us your opinion
as to the prOpriety of changing the
seat Of Government and going further
South"
"That is a political question, Mr..
Hill and you politicians must deter
mine it. [ shall endeayOr to take care
Of the army and you must take the
laws and control The Government"
"Ah, General said /, "but You
will have to change that rule, and form
and express political opinions; for, if
we establish our independence, the
people will make you Mr.. Davis sue
cessor. "Never, sir" he replied with a
firm dignity that belonged only to Lee.
"That I will never permit. Whatever
talents l may possess land they are
but limitedD are military talents. 1fy
education and training are military
| think the military and civil talents
are distinct, if not different, and full
duty in either sphere is about as much
as one man can qualify himself to per-
form. l shall not do the people the
injustice to accepthigh civil office with
whose questions it has not been my
business to become familiar"
dwell, but General I insisted,
"history does not sustain your view,
Cpzar and Fredrick of Prussia and
Bonaparte were all great statesmen as
well as great generals"
"And all great tyrants," he prompt
ly responded. 81 speak Of the proper
rule III republics, where l think, We
should have neither military states
men nor political generals"
"But Washington was both, and
vet not tyrant," repeated.
And with beautiful smile he said:
"Washington was an exception to
all, and there were none like him."
| could find no words to answer
further, butinstantly said in thought:
''Surely Washington is no longer the
only exception, fer one like him if not
even greater, is here"

the edge of the hOgshead, but, after
surveying the situation, jumped down
and ran out Of the door, reappearing
with another cat. The two looked at
their foes and retired, soon coming
back with third cat. They now seem
ed satisfied with their force, and made
an attack, jumping into the hogshead.
The cats had, however, miscalculated

How TO GET RICH.-It is the easiest
thing in the world to get rich if you
only start right. Any man may be-
come q millionaire in less than thirty
days if he saves one cent the first day,
doubles it the second day, doubles the
second days amount the third day,
and Sc on. II you stick to this faith
fully the sum you will save on the
twenty eighth day will amount to just
@1,341,777 28. The trouble, however,
is that it is little too much like keep
ing q diary, and grows tedious the
tenth day.
