from the Helena Herald.
Our readers will remember an account,
published in the Herald a few weeks ago,
of the accident to the coach in Prickly Pear
canyon, and the loss of the letter NAH sack.
Every effort was made to recover the mail,
but without avail ; and it was given up as
finally lost. However, the sack has turned
up in the Helena Post Office, with its con-
tents intact, including $500 in currency,
drafts, and valuable letters. 1t was found
floating in, and recovered from, the Missouri
river by one of Tom Powers hearders.
We understand that Mr.. John Healy of
Sun River, has been working hard in the in
terests OF the Fort Garry prisoners. This is
a conmendable action, and should be follow
ed by others who have the interests of these
innocent boys at heart.
From the Benton Record.
A strawberry picnic, with the strawber-
ries left out, will be held on the 18th prox. by
the boys and girls of the valley. The Belle
of Sun River thinks the Centennial couldn't
be properly celebrated without a strs wberry
festival
The grasshoppers have destroyed all the
crops in the valley, except those Of Messrs.
| Il. Healy and j. Adams. These gentlemen
will raise good crops, tor which they must
feel much obliged to the 'hoJ.pers.

Gold hill. Its career was short, but its work
was indeed great. The immense mountain
of dirt, boulders and gravel which, sixteen
days ago, stood up eighteen to twenty feet
high, has melted away like so much snow
beneath the summer sun, leaving the bed
rock exposed and ready for cleaning.
Gold hill was visited by a great many per
and every one expressed admiration of its
wonderful power.
REV. MIR. HARRIS, of Helena, favored the
good people OF Diamond with two excellent
sermons last Sunday. Owing to the busy
season and probable small attendance, his
lecture was not delivered.
Either because of our insigniticance as a
town, or for some other reason, the dispens-
crs of the gospel have almost entirely given
us over to the wiles of the evil one this
um,ner there having been only three SER
mons preached here since last February.
MEssRs. Grubb & Ringer have bought
teams and arc now building the road for the
purpose of testing some of their quartz in
the Richard & Dodson mill. 1t will be nee
cssary to build a grade about a half mile in
length before loads can be brought down.
This is a pretty heavy undertaking for two
men alone. and we think tlle business men,
miners and farmers interested in the adj
vancement of the county, should lend assist
ance in the enterprise, 1t has been the Gus
tom heretofore, to raise subscriptions forthe
opening of drains, building OF fumes, ETC.,
when the project was one likely to benefit
the community. This quartz development
is certainly of vital interest to every proper
ty owner in Meagher county, and we think
assistance should be given these gentleman.
We do not own a foot of quartz OH Gold
Hill. but we feel that we have a common in.
terest in it's riches, and are ready to assist in
it. Will not some of the business men take
the matter in hand and push the work te
completion?

Our FLAG.-The flag which was first to
greet the Centennial morn, f1oated from the
flagstaff over the HUsBANDMAN office, was
admired by many, and was a subject 0 fgen-
eral comment. Some, however, were in
clined to compare our patriotism to the size
of our flag, to which we demurr. 1t still
floats bravery with its thirty-eight stars-one
fer Colorado upon it-and is large enough,

States, three railroads will traverse the con-
tinent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, pass
ing through Montana, the great central
State while north and south, broad gauge
railroads will be as numerous as stage roads
are now, all of which will be propelled by the
Kelly motive power. Wood for fuel will be
done away with and water used in it's stead.
The navigation Of the air will take prece-
dence over all other modes of travel, and
mails will be carried through pneumatic
tubes with as much despatch as telegraph
ing is now done. Tunnels will be running in
every direction through the mountains, and
our great quartz lodes will be yielding hun
dreds of millions of dollars annually to their
owners. Diamond City will have grown
until its corporate limits reach over the
mountains from valley to valley, and the
State-house will be completed, with its mag
nifcent glittering dome. A narrow-gauge

H
J. A. T. Hull, editor of the Davis
County Republican, the present Sec
rctary Of the Senate, is announced as
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for Secretary Of State. If the
present very efficient Secretary, Mr..
Josiah r. Young, is to be displaced
at all, Mr.. Huh would doubtless
prove a successor in every respect
suitable. On this point, however,
there is ample opportunity for con-
sideration. II the only reason that
can be urged for a change lies in the
anti .'third term argument,it should
NOT. in our opinion, have much
weight. The Legislature wisely put
Its foot down on that sort ofnonsense
when It reelected DIR. Craig as War
den Of the State Penitcntiary. Third
term, fourth term, or fifth term, will
do when experience and ability pre-
sent special reasons for continued
seryicet TO the land. - Davenport Ca

SPEAKER KERR, if we are to believe

himself in favor Of Gov. Hendricks for
President. This seems to be great
surprise to Tammany and Sammy

appears very plain that they had made
some arrangement with Kerr that he
should repay them for their aid. 1t

Spangler and Young man named

On the way home some conversation
took place concerning the former diff

the party arrived at the residence oil
Booths father. While they were
standing at the gate Young Booth rer
marked to Spangler that he was not
able 10 fight him, but that if he did
not stop annoying him he would in
form his father. To this Spangler
made no response, but, stepping to a

EvrRyBoDY can remember what q
bluster aud show Of injured innocence
the Democratic party has made for
some years past about the civil serv-
Ice measure, and about keeping good
officers in appointive places and not
displacing them for their political
opinions. Three years ago In their
State political convention they parad-
ed this matter in their platform In
Iowa. How do they practice upon
this prescription, now that they have
the power in the lower House Of Con-
gress? The result there has shown
that they were totally insincere in
their professions while out Of power
Particularly do they at once 60 fol
the principle long ago enunciated BY
them, that ITO the victors belong the
spoils," and the large number Of ex.
rebels they appoint to Offices, makes
their practice particularly odious, es'
pecially when crippled Union soldiers
are displaced to make room for these
ex-rebels.
