DEATH OF Dr.. NATHANIEL n. MILLER
A FEW REMINrscRNcEs OF HIS LIFE End
FORTUNEs
From the Leavenworth Commercial
How often death reveals to us that VIC
have lived IN the very shadow of notable
persons, and never known of their exist
ence. Yesterday morning there departed
this life man who in days gone by was
high in Official position, the right>hand
man and adviser Of q nations chief execu>
tive-a person universally respected and
esteemed for his sterling worth and high
intellectual end0wments; one who, had he
been called away during the flood tide Of
his fortunes, would have been carried to
the grave with all the pomp and pegentry
that wealth and high official position
would command, and yet in his old age
he serenely loosed his hold of life and
passed quietly away, with Only his inti>
mate and family friends around him. As
many of our readers are not personally
acquainted with Dr. Miller. We give brief
synopsis of his life. furnished by one of his
intimate friends and constant companions:
At the early age Of seventeen the DR..
enlisted in the Maryland brigade and
served during part of the. war Of 1919.
He was then, 1914, appointed assistant
surgeon il the United States navy, and
did good service on the Atlantic Until the
close Of the war, IIewas afterwards trans
ferred to the "Gurriere," the famous flag
ship of the gallant Decatur, and did cOu
spicuous and brilliant service in the Medi~
terranlan during the war with the Barbary
States. After resigning from the navy
he removed to Columbus; Ohio, where he
acquired splendid and lucrative practice,
being recognized as one of the leading
physicians and surgeons in the country.
Upon the accession of his brO,her>in >iaw,
John Tyler, to the Presidency of the
United States. Or, Miller accepted the POI
sition of Assistant Postmaster General,
which Office he filled with distinguished
ability during the administrations OF Presi !
dents Tyler and Polk. For three years
the Doctor and his accomplished wife |
wife presided at the White House, PRESS
dent Tyltr being widower, and during
that period and the subsequent four years
enjoyed the intimacy of the then great |
men and women of the nation. Some |
tweh!y years ago the Doctor removed to
Weston, Missouri, and in 1853 to Leaven>
worth, where fe has remained ever since. |
He leaves one daughter, Mrs. Matthias, at
whose residence he died, and two sons
one in Montana. the othcr,n Colorado. The
Doctor died i'll full possession Of his fa:>
Mites, and expresss. with fervor his ab;d. !!
ing faith in the goodness and mercy of
God. The funeral takes place this morn.

ASSOCI ATION-sHALL
WE HAVE IT?

EDITOR COURIER: For several months
past, as opportunities presented themselves
| have been consulting with persons
prominently interested in the work OF
education in this Territory, as to the pro
priety of organizing All association OF
teachers for mutual instru cti0n, in Boze>
man, during the coming holidays. So fal
the proposition has met with universal ap
prOval. In the olderportionso of our coun.
try where they are not fortunate enough
to have Teachers Institutes, associations
of the character speak of are very com.
mon. The necessity for such an organiza
ton here is certainly greater as we have
but few months school in each dlstr;c.
aud much of tho time of the teacher is
ne. .cssarlly spent in other pursuits. His
attcnti.- and interest are diverted from
the duties # the school>roo,n, and when
ne returns to h. an again, it is with con-
sc;ousncss of hayi..o lost much Of fitness
and capacity during his absence. The
teachers association vii. give US all an
opportunity for comparing ANS tor the
government of schools, and tho ;llustra
ton of lessons. and from among them
choosing the best. BY close application !
think we may make such an organization
sAs'Ss ~SssA0' syss0 So0eA VNslVCs 0uu uuu p
ready remedy for many of the dis
advantages we all experience.
Hon. Cornelius Hedges, our excellent
Superintendent of Public Instruction, is
earnestly in favor of the movement and
has assured me that he will attend if pos
sible, if sufficient number of teachers
signify their intention of taking part
believe most, if not all of our schools
have vacation between Christmas and
New Year. 90 that school duties will not
interfere. Bozeman appears to be suits
able place as it is accessible at all seasons
of the year. ! think gratuitous accommo~
dation can be furnished for most if not
all who will attend. I believe MS many
teachers are employed. during the year,
in Gallatin county as in any other county in
the Territory, Madison only excepted; and
they are all SO situated as to be able to At.
tend with little inconvenience and have
friends here who would gladly receive
them.
Teachers, Let US meet on Monday the
e8th of December next, and spend three
Or four days in q school of our own. Ill
and others who desire to attend,
will signify their intention, by letter or
to me I will endeav0r to keep
Ihe0 posted as to tho prospect

insured them from loss by the Indians.
Two days after leaving Peck bis train was
attacked and he lost every pound Of

THERE is q good deal of speculation as
to Tho p.'llcy that the Democrats will pur-
sue when they attain power in the next
Congress- We perceive in the prominent
Democratic papers an exhibition of a con-
sentative spirit, and warnings are given
to the extremists of the party to 60 slow,
as Democracy is not yet 'out of the
woods" We can perceive that the leaders
Of the party arc possessed of . correct
knowledge of the situation, and if their
prudent counseis can prevail, Democracy
may continue to hold the ground they
have attained in the elections this fall. On
the other hand the Republicans are taking
= very careful review of the past 10 ascer-
tain wherein the mistakes were made that
brought about their tremendous over>
throw. A good deal of examination and
recrimination is being INDUCED in. The
Administration throws the responsibility
on Congress. and Congressman think the
fault lies with the President and his I'D
visers. This whole matter will be thor
oughly discussed when Congress meets.
and we predict the debates this winter
will furnish some yerv interesting reading.
There will be good deal of anxiety to
know what General Batter thinks of the
situation. and as newspaper row" is in
his confidence and partial 10 him, all he
says will be faithfully reported by the
press. Taken altogether this short session
will be full of interest, and the country
will want TO hear from Washington and
what is done there this winter. We pro-
pose giving in the COURIER fuller reports:
than heretofore, of Congressional proceed
tngs, SO as to post our readers.
