He proposed a definition that was unani-

EARLY in July one of the most horrible

in Chill occurred on the Santiago 81 Val
paraiso Railroad AS the train from Val
paraiso was passing over the bridge at
Limache that structure gave way, and,
with the exception of the engine and ten
der, the whole train, containing fifty per-
sons, was precipitated into the river below.
The lamps were broken in the fall, and the
oil running out ignited and set fire to a
large part of the wreck. Fully one-half
of the passengers were either crushed to
death or persisted by fire or water. lnves-

was caused by the Effectiveness of the

as her father refused his consent to their
marriage they eloped. The lovers were
pursued and arrested on the complaint of
the inf1exible father. The young man was
tried for having abducted his beloved, she
being not yet of age, and was condemned
to ten years in the galleys. The daughter
was consigned to a semi-conventual lnstl-

married and came to America. After some
time they returned to France and settled
down in their native land. He made such

ness be oyerdone. The tax payers of the
Territory should give their representatives
to understand what they expect at their
hands. and hold them accountable for their
acts. We have confidence in the wisdom
and ability of the representatives OF Meagher
County. Wm. Tierney and DR.. L. Rotwit,
members of the lower house, are engaged
in notwithstanding former at Canton,
the latter at Canyon Ferry. Both of these
gentlemen enjoy the full confidence of the
respective communities in which they live,
and will, we believe, perform the duties de-
volving upon them in a creditable and prais-
worthy manner. James Hornbuckle, mem
Der of the Council. represents our mining
and agricultural interests, being himself
largely engaged in mining and W%ool-grow-
ing. Mr.. Ii. is a man of great resolution, a
good %reasoner, and of sound judgment !;
a man who cannot be overruled by sophis-
try. and who cannot be induced to barter the
interests of his constituents for money.
With such men as these to represent the in
terests of the County, we hope for good
results. IF other counties have been as for
tunate in selecting representatives, we have
reason to believe that the interests Of our
Territory will be greatly advanced by the
coming session.
The Territory, at present, is in a prosper
Gus condition; is advancing slowly and
steadily towards wealth and Importance, and
all that is needed to insure it's being, in the
near future, one of the most prosperous Of
States, is wise and judicious legislation.
Every interest should be considered, and
every point carefully guarded, keeping ever
in view the fact that too much legislation is
worse than none at all.

JOHN DANA, of California, is the discoV-
crer of a new and valuable bean. 1t made
its appearance in his garden two years ago,
and attracted attention from its valuable ed
ible quality as a green or string bean, and
Its remarkable productiveness. Itisacllmb-
er of the Lima variety, but differing from it
In having a pod more rounded and thicker.
The bean is white and about the size OF a
butter bean, and quite as delicate in flavor
as the Lima. Last spring the plant threw
up sprouts from the root, and he dug around
it. giving 1t ordinary cultivation during the
season, and was rewarded with sufficient
from this one plant to supply his table with
string beans during the season. This is, no
doubt, an entirely new variety. Mr.. Dana
will give the choice plant good culture dur
ing the coming season and save all the crop
for seed.

"A letter received in this city SAYS Mr.. Jno
B. Hunter, who will be remembered as the
party who was purchasing cattle in this
Territory last summer for the purpose Of
driving them to Eastern markets, has ar
rived ut his home in Greenvil1c, ILL.,, and that
his speculation was a perfect success. Mr..
Hunter is expected to revisit Montana in the
spring on a similar venture, and horses and
teams have been left behind to be in readi-
ness for next seasons operations. We are
glad to note that Mr.. Hunter has succeeded
in this speculation and that his profits there
from, though not large, We're sufficient to
warrant his continuance Of the business.
The demonstration of the fact that Montana
beef-even with the present mode of trans
portatiofl-ean be conveyed to Eastern mar
kets and a profit realized upon the transac-
ton, will be an incentive to other parties to
engage III the business, and an impetus will
be given to our stock-raising interests which
cannot tail to have a beneficial effect upon
the progress n enhance the prosperity of
the Territory. We believe that it isno idle
boast that Montana possesses superior facili-
ties for the prosecution of this bus sess;
that her stock ranges, under judicious man
agement and control, will turn out as fine
beeves us can be raised in the stalls Of the
Eastern States, and the opening up of a mar
ket for this product is the one thing needed
to make it an important and profitable en-
terpr1se. If it will pay to ship Montana
beef East now, how much more will it yield
to our revenues when the means of trans
portation arc increased by railroad COM
munication and carriage? This is not mere
ly the driving OF stock by the owners and
selling them at prices upon which the as
sumed profits might be estimated at high or
low figures, according to the imagination of
the seller or the value he chooses to place
upon his time and labor, but a case in which
an Eastern capitalist brings his money to
the Territory, collects his stock from our
ranches, pays the cash for them, and takes
them to foreign markets and there disposes
Of them, thus being enabled to compute his
gains to the smallest fraction of per centage,
and establishing a rule for the conduct of flu
tire transactions. We think the Importance
OF MIR. Hunters success cannot be overeesti-
mated, and that Its consummation will open
up a new era Of prosperity for the stock

coast will find a good home here, and will
find pastures that, if properly cared for, will
improve every year. Here thelrflocks, when
once healed of the diseases peculiar to the

In California, who intend driving here next

how the sheep that were driven in this sea-

change OF climate be small, we will most
likely, have a large increase. To expect to
drive sheep from such a climate as Califor-
mia to this, drive them hard, bring them in
poor, and not loose any, would be absurd.
But II sheep are started early and be allowed
to take their time, there will be as little loss
as there would had they remained in their
native climate.
