Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1876-11-16

UP to the hour OF going to press it is i'm
possible to give our readers any positive in
formation with regard to the result of the
great National contest which came off on the
18th. The whole country is agitated from
center to circumference. The telegraph
wires have been burdened with dispatched,
and they have poured in with such a rush
that it has been impossible for the Helena
dailies to publish ifalfthat come. On Satur-
day last the wires went down, while chaos
and confusion still prevailed-no conclusion
having been arrived. Both parties express
themselves confident of success, yet . two to
one " OF Tilden having been offered and no
takers, seems to indicate that the chances
are largely in favor of his election. 1t is
pretty clear that Tilden has carried New
York, Missouri, Indiana. Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina,
Alabama, New Jersey, Mississippi, Texas,
Maryland, Connecticut, Arkansas, West
Virginia, and Delaware, making 1S4 elector-
a. votes. 1t is equally clear that Hayes has
carried Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Massa-
chusetts, Iowa. Michigan, Wisconsin, Maine,
California, Minnesota, Kansas, Vermont,
New Hampshire. Rhode Island. Nebraska,
Colorado. and Nevada making 1888 electoral
votes. Oregon, South Carolina, Florida.
and Louisiana are doubtful. Should all the
doubtful States 60 Tor Hayes. he is elected
by one majority, Otherwise. Tildan will be
the President.
1t Is TO be regretted that the election has
been SO close, and mere so, that, as now
seems probable, it must be decided upon
Southern soil. 1t is alleged thatfrauds have
been practiced In the Southern States, and
there is a probability that much of the vote
may be thrown out, which will, doubtless,
arouse the bitter .animosities engenaeEed lky

The vote polled in Meagher county at
the recent election was about 500. From
the statements OF reliable persons in differ
ent parts OF the county, we find that there
were seventy voters who did not GO to the
polls. Thus it will be seen that Meagher
county has held it's OWE, Notwithstanding Il
considerable number have left this summer
for the Black Hills.

Ten years ago many owners were con-
t"inually driving their cattle around to choice
spots of feed, good watering places, etc,
but now it is admitted that stock make their
own selection of localities best, and as to
water, there are thousands OF head that new
er taste water from December till March
and come out beef-fat. In fact, there are
those who hold to the theory that stuck
without water do best.-ROCKY Noun
AIN HUsBANDMAN.
Tell us that there are plenty of men in
Montana who meyer indulge in water as a
beverage; that it was a mistake about the
Dutchman's horse dying just as he had
taught him to do without foo%d-anythmg,
but that cattle will feed all winter On dry
they can't always get.-Missoutian.
We stake our reputation as a Journalist
or stock-grower upon the correctness of The
above statement; but if this is not sufficient,
we would refer Z" the doubling Thomas " to
such gentlemen as Con kohrs, w. G.. SWees,
r. S. Ford and j. r. Cox, the most extern
sive stock-growers in the great Northwest,
or any one else Of general experience for a
verification of this fact. If it were impossi-
BILE for stock to winter "on dry bunch
grass and never take a drink" what would
become of the vast herds Of buffalo that
roam the high plains, remote from amy
stream. The fact that the editor of the Mis-
souMan doubts our statement, is evidence
that he knows no more of this branch of in
dustry, than the city belle, who wished to
know switch COW gave the buttermilk,"
did Of dairying. f

The Magazines.

First and foremost towers the proud form of
scribners Magazine, which in the short period
of six years has achieved the highest rank
among American popular magazines In the
August number which is styled the q lfidsna-
mr. Holiday Number" is found contributions
by the most eminent writers of the country
Holley, Celia Thaxter, Burroughs, Waring,
Hale, Aldrch, Bret Harte, Gail Hamilton,
Stoddard, making altogether a literary feast
of rare excellence. This number is remarkable
for the exquisite beauty of its engravings,
many of them being almost equal to steel en-
cravings in point of finish, and of the highest
artistic design. 1t contains articles entitled
Hide and Seek Town. a graceful account
of some little out-of-the-way New England
village; Niagara: "a Bird Medley"
"The Bride of the Rhine" being facinating
description of the ancient city of Trier in the
valley of Mosel all of these are illustrated.
Then followed the continued stories :'Phillip
Nolan's Friends" and Gabriel Conroy,"
which have already become so favorably known
as to require no enconiums. "0n the Iron
Trail" is another illustrated article descrip-
tive Of what Charles Sumner once called "the
heart of the continent" but what the border
ruffians call its backbone" ''That Lass
o'Lowrie's" "a Neighborly Call, " "The Living
Mummy" ," Crawford's Consistency" are short
prose stories of much interest. And in addition
to these is a fine poem called 1.-THE Flood of
Years." by Bryant, and the truly magnificent
production of Stoddard's, Hospes Civitatis.
The editorial department will be found to be of
unusual interest and ability
The August Harper's Monthly is fully equal
to any predecessors, and contains valuable
articles on Wellesley College, The Battle
of Long Island" A Sentimental Journey to
the Jordan" Modern Dwellings," The Laurel
Bush" Saratoga Springs" Rear Admiral
shubrick," with fine portrait; chapter forty
one of that chef d'euvre Of George Elliot,
Daniel Deronda," besides the usual number
of short stories. and the invaluable Editors
Easy Chair, Literary Record, Scientific Record,
Historical Record, and Drawer
The Eclectic Magazine for July contains its
usual we'll selected list of the choicest gems of
British serial literature. Lord Macaulay"
from Cornhill Home Festivities in Natal''
from Evening Hours Bonivard, The Prisoner
of Clillon" from Fraser's; "Powers of the
Air" from Blackwood's; and "Ordeals and
