Hangman's Tree in Montana.

TheVirginiaC ity( Montana correspond
ent of the Leavenworth (kansas) Com
mercial gives the following graphic ac-
count of an Old-time gallows scene in the
Territory:
A few rods south of Helena and just
west of the present overland stage road
where it crosses Dry Gulch, and directly
in the gulch, there stands venerable
pine, whose massive lower branches OF
weird and fantastic growth extend twenty
feet or more from the gnarled and moss
covered trunk. Years since it lost its To-
liage, and now it is gradually yielding to
decay, and ere long a clOd of vegetable
mould will alone remain to mark the site
of the famous hangman's tree.
In 1862, 1868 and 1864 Virginia City
and Bannock, were the headquarters of
Henry Plummer's noted band of high
wavmen and cut-throats. Plummer Sc
cured an appointment as sheriff and then
made his cut-thrOat ieutenants his dep
uties. For time this arrangement worked
admirably for the roughs, as they could
rob and murder with impunity. After
they had killed over 120 citizens, and
plundered stages. expire IS shipments and
private individuals until no one felt safe
or dared to leave with or send money or
dust out of the cOuntry-and any one
who dared to demur to this order of things
or suggested that the robbers were other
than honest and perfect gentlemen, did
so at the imminent peril ofhis life-it oc-
Cured to a few resolute men that it was
time for a change, and, quietly comforting
with each other, an organization was soon
effected, including several hundred of the
best men in Virginia, Bannock and Helena.
LAYING their plans cautiously but we'll
and executing them promptly, they meted
merited Justice to twenty-nine of the ruff
fans, including Plummer and all known
members of his band, all of whom were
made to "dance upon nothing at the end
of a rope" Five of them were hanged at
one time from a cross-beam in an unfn-
ished store-room adjoining the building
in which your correspondent writes this
communication. These executions ended
the reign of terror, and since then quiet
and peace has been the rule in Montana.
The dying speeches ofsOme of the despera-
does were peculiarly characteristic and
worthy of note "Erastus wager, gen
orally known as "Red," said to his cap
tors, "YOu have treated me like a gentle
man, and know I'm going to die; / am
going to be hanged; it's pretty rough,
but / merited this years ago" And with
the rope around his neck his last words
we're: Goodbye, boys; God bless you.
You are on a good undertaking"
Henry PIummer begged hard for his
life, asked to be chained down, offered TO
leave the country forever, and declared
that he was too wicked 80 die. Another,
John Wagner said: "Cut off my arms
and legs and let me go; you know ! could
don othing then"

to do. Did not the bishop of Montreal
the other day forbid his Catholic people,
under pain of accommodation the
reading of a certain journal that was
vomiting all sorts of abuse against the
Catholic church and his mandate was
obeyed. If found our young men were
reading the works of Tom Paine and
Voltaire, etc, l would forbid them, un-
der pain of accommodation. might
permit the reading of such works to
good and learned men, who carry in
their own brains the antidote to these
poisons, but the giddy and unlearEed
ought no more to NEEDLE with such
than children with loaded revolvers
and dangerous poisons. Prelates of
the Catholic church have authority
from God to govern, command and
guide. Obey your prelates and be
subject to them, for they watch as being

Offensive People.

If to be a good man and a successful
man is offensive to the world at large, to
be praised is exasperating. No greater
unkindness can be done to any man than
to praise him much. People generally
will stand a moderate compliment paid
to a neighbOr, while they arc left to
qualify it, or TO admit it as a matter of
generosity or courtesy; but praise per
sisted in will ruin the reputation of any
body. There is nothing more offensive
to the average human being than per-
sistent laudation bestowed upon another
To hear a man warmly praised is suffi-
cient usually to make us hate him and
it is only necessary to have the praise
repeated often enough TO make us desire
to shoot him. Praise is one of the arti-
cles we would like to have distributed n
little-not that we want it, but the OBJ
ject of it is not the best man--if we know
ourselves. Virtue is a good thing, tenn
perance is good thing, genius is not a
bad thing altogether; but no man is to
be mentioned so many as ten times as
having either of them in possession with
out making his name a stencil and an
offense to the nostrils of q sensitive
world. The true way of getting along
well in the world is not to make ones
self offensive to ones friends by excel
lence of character and habits of life, by
success, or by doing anything praise
worthy. Let us strike the average as
nearly as possible. Let us be good fell
lows rather than good men, and choke
the first man who dares to ascribe to us
a single virtue. Let us keep down and
out of sight. All that we do for our
selves, and all that we do for mankind,
only feeds hell with slanderers, and so
betrays the baseness of human nature
that we may well blush to think that we
are members of the human race.-Dr.

Catholic Accommodation.

In letter to the Toronto Globe,
Catholic Archbishop Lynch says: "Gui-
bord knew that he was communicated,
and refused at death to be recOnciled to
his church. He that refused the greater,
that is the sacraments of the church,
while living, would refuse the less, that
is the funeral rites. The state should
rather protect the body of the man from
the church rites after death which he re-
fused during life. The excommunica-
ton of Guibord is better known to the
bishop of Montreal and his priests than
to LAWYERS, even of the privy council.
But it is asserted that the church can
not excommunicate societies IN gt0bo.
This is precisely what the church has
done and continues to do as for instance,
condemning all secret societies and those
who belong to them. There are excOm-
munications major and minor, and ex-
communications for individuals and socl-
cites. Then there are interdicts for
persons and things, but with many OF
these we have nothing to do. That
Guibord died renouncing the sacraments
rather than give up a prescribed society,
nut him also into the category of the
contumacious sinner, for whose body
Christian burial may also be denied.
But YOU say as Guibord thought himself
right he should get the benefit OF his
own opinion. This right-private judg-
ment-we do not recognize in the church,
nor do civil courts either recognize 1t.
You remark also that we can not excOm-
municate persons from reading. This IS
precisely what we have done and ought

A THEORY CONCERNING SLEEP.-Our
existing knowledge about the physiology
of sleep does not 20 much beyond the fact
that the phenomenon in question is in
variably associated with a comparatively
bloodless condition of the brain. Phugcr
attempts to take us a step farther 10y con-
structing an elaborate hypothesis otphys-
ico-chemical order Starting from the
view that the functional activity Of any
organ, and more especially of nerve
centre, depends upon dis-assOciation of
living matter, which is itself only mod
flied form Of albumin, the author goes on
to speculate that the chemical potential
energy which is used up in the formation
Ofeverv molecule of carbOnic acid is trans
formed into heat. In other words, the
atoms of which this molecUlc consists
are thrown into a state of very active Vi
bration. These intramolecular explosions
are propagated in all directions along the
nerves to the muscular and glandular
systems, which are in structural cOntln-
uitv with the norve-centres. Frogs, de-
prived of oxygen, are thrown into state
of apparent death, precisely similar to
sleep; from this they may be reused by
fresh supply of oxygenerated blood, A
certain proportion Of intramoleculer oXy-
gen in the nerve-centres is thus essential
to the waking state, since it enables
given number of explosions 20 occur IN II
unit oftime mt a given temperature. But,
during the waking state, the energy Of
chemical affinity is used up much faster
than the intramolCcular oxygen OF
the grey matter of the brain can he re-
placed; consequently the formation Of
carbonic acid steadily diminishcsi and
when the number of explosions per unit
of time sinks below a certain minimum,
sleep ensues. The entire energy of the
brain is never really used up; butt sinks
to a point at which, in the absence Of all
external stimuli, it is incapable of main
tanning functional activity. This theory.
may be 50 developed as TO explain most OF
the phenomena Of ordinary sleep, such rs
its periodicy, etc. The author likewise
attempts to bring the winter sleep of hy-'
bernating manuals, and the summer sleep
of tropical amphibia, into harmony with

A DISCOURAGED SUIToR.-He was q
sad-eyed, meck-faced man, and we sup
posed ne merely wished 60 give us q
news item; but when he commenced
telling us about building a barn on his
ranch 1870 by $50 feet, seven stories high,
and ornamented by bay windows, we
thought it was time to check him, and
so we commenced:
"Well, we must admit that that j. q
pretty large barn for this country, but
back in the states our father built barn
325 by 500 feet, nine stories high, and
furnished with steam elevators; the"
4" Back in the states?" interrupted our
listener, "Why that wasn't much of "A
barn for the states ] remember, now,
that when / was quite young my father
built a chicken-cOop $50 by S32 feet. !
don't recolIect how many stories II was
high, but know there was a cupola on
it for the rOosters."
" About how high,was the cupola we
asked.
Il don't remember the exact height
now, mister" was the reply, but ]
know it was so high that the fourteen
upper tiers of roosters died from the
effects Of the light atmosphere the first
night"
Then he looked up toward the ceiling
and commenced humming Jesus loves
me-" and we went out and sat down ON
the wood-pile and wondered why some
body was always outstripping us in the
race of life.-EdUpiay (COl) Sentinel.

an area of 100000 acres and a popula-
ton of 10000, divided into thirty-six
nations and tribes. The Indians harry
ested, last year, more an six million
bushels of wheat; property valuation is
$lO,0O0,0 900, and one-ffth of the interest
accruing each year is devoted to public
instruction. The fact tibet these Indians
are getting on so well has led to Yery
strong resolve to keep the white man out
as long as possible.

The investiture of Cardinal IcC loskey
took place yesterday at Rome. The
ceremony of comforting the red hat seems
to have been dispensed with, as refer
ence is made in the dispatches only to
the reception of the ring and title. The
ceremony took place in the consistory of
the Vatican, where the Pope first closed
the lips of Cardinal McCloskey with his
fingers and then ordered him to open
them, giving him full right to speak in
the consistory. The ring which was
conferred was sapphire ring, that stone
being mathematical of the princely Dig
nifty of the Cardinal, and the church
given to him was Santa Maria Sophia
Minerva, one of the oldest churches in
Rome splendidly decorated with works
of art. Cardinal McCloskey, on receiv-
ing the ring, presented, as is the usual
custom, five hundred dollars as a con-
tribution toward the expenses of the
Barilica.
