1t is related that New Hampshire
militia company, taking one of Its annual
pleasure excursions, was received with con-
siderable effusion in one of the neighboring
towns, and, after being wined aud dincd
and GRATED to, as they were about to take
their departure, the captain was called
upon to express the thanks of the company
for the kindly manner in which it had been
received and treated, and responded thus
ly "We'll come agin." This captain
has his equal in brevity and point, in the
new governor of Iowa-Newbold-wh
after taking the oath of Office, delivered
the following inaugural "I'll do the best
81 can" How could either speech be bet
tered, or better express the sentiments of
the author?

The Mud Turtle Brigade.

Editor Rutland Globe In reading the
locals.o the Rutland Herald, few days
since, read this bit of attempted wit.
"The mud turtle brigade we're out in full
force yesterday summing themselves on the
corners of the street"
desire to ask, Mr.. Editor, who compose
the mud turtle brigade, that the ex-6sh-
monger would insult by giving them this
appellation2 Are they not the bone and
snew of Rutland, who are ever ready and
willing to work, when work is offered
them? Men who are honest and earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow.
Why should one of our daily jour-
nails insult the laboring men, simply for
the reason that they are unfortunate and
out of work and desire to get out and en-
Joy the beautiful sunshine that God merci-
fully provides for all. In my boyhood
days l was taught poverty was no disgrace,
but in the present it not only seems q dis
grace but crime, and is slurred by the
itinerant press which endeavors to support
80 much dignity. Are men to be called
mud-turtles because they are poor2 bap-
pened to be out in Gods sunshine that day
for want of work or something better to
do, little dreaming that on the next day
should be heralded forth as a mud-turtle.
Now if this local ex-fishmonger ever drags
us into the columns of the Herald again,
the "mud-turtle brigade" will scale him in
much less time than he ever curried the
scales from Goldfish. Look out for the
"mud-turile brigade" in battle array |!
am responsible for this Mr.. Editor, and
although am poor and out of work, am
| not mud-turtle nor street loafer.

"BUsTING THE COMMISSION. y

We don't take any particular stock In
the report, as contained In our Geographic
columns, that the democracy are endeav-
oring to "bust the electoral commission"
We doubt not that they are disap-
pointed and excited over the decision. This
is to be expected, as it would have been Of
the republicans had the result been differ
ent. They might have expected such
decision, and should have been prepared
for any result whatever 1t might have
been. 1t does not lie in their mouths to
say that it Isl partisan decision, for the
course of the republican members of the
commission was no more partisan than was
that of the democrats. Perfection was not
to be looked for in this commission any
more than in any other human tribunal.
Moreover the opinion of Judges Bradley,
Miller and Strong, Senators Edmunds,
Conkling and Morton, and Representatives
Hoar and Garfield, that congress had no
power to go behind the returns, is entitled
to as much weight and is fully as apt to be
good law as the contrary opinion of Judges
Clifford and Field, Senators Thurman and
Bayard, and Representatives Payne, Hun
ton and Abbott.
But, perhaps, the most foolish report is,
that David Dudley Field lie endeavoring to
persuade Judges Clifford and Field to re-
tire from the commission. David Dudley
Field may be an INSCRIPTIONS lawyer and
politician-we hardly think there will be
two opinions about that--but he is not
quite fool. What would be the effect of
their designations Why, the remaining
justices would Immediately fill their places
by selecting Judges Swayne and Hunt, or
one Of these two with Judge Davis. This
would be simply jumping out of the frying
pan into the fre-and there is no danger
of that. The democracy helped to make
this little bed, and in it they must, as they
will, quietly take their rest.
The electoral commission cannot be dis
solved except by revolutionary act, and
we do not believe that there is any danger
OF the democracy resorting to that. They
tried that remedy for immaginary evils six
teen years ago, and the result was too disas-
trous to tempt them to make another trial
OF 1t. They are disappointed and excited,
and we doubt not bluster good deal, but
the bluster all comes from those who are
invincible in peace, invisible in war;"
Hewitt may declare that 'qf Hayes is de-
&c clared elected. he would be the last presi-
" dent of the United States, for the repub-
" lie could not endure" but he win And
that, with Ben Hill, the county shave
"greater confidence in the permanence of
I" the government" and will not allow that
confidence to be destroyed by the revolu-
tionary acts of disappointed politicians.
Let them bluster and threaten, 1t will do
the country no harm and may ease them
considerably.

Hayden the Murderer.

The correspondent of the Boston Journal
says: The principal topic of discussion in
Windsor at the present time is the. ap-
preaching trial of Edwin F. Hayden, who
is now in the state prison at Windsor for
the murder of his wife last September, and
the attempted murder of Mr.. Brigham, the
husband of Mrs Hayden's sister. Conflict
ing and in some instances most absurd
stories have been started as to how Hayden
would plead before the court when ar
raigned for the crime with which he stands
charged. Your correspondent visited Hay
den, Thursday afternoon, in his cell, and
conversed with him for nearly an hour. l
found Hayden sick in bed, and he looked
like man in the last stages of consump-
ton, and he seemed to be in wretched
frame of mind.
THE INTERVIEW.
/ remarked to Hayden that the report had
gained considerable circulation all over the
state that he was going to make stubborn
defence on the ground of insanity, brought
about by excessive drink.
The prisoner rose up in bed and said
tell you just what propose to do. When
get before the court and am asked to
plead, shall plead not guilty. do not
propose to offer any defense for the reason
that have not had the means to have
counsel. 1t is true the state has given me
two of the ablest lawyers in the state, but
have not seen them; they have not been
near me to consult me, nor do know what
they have been doing in my behalf. No,
1 propose to protest against any plea other
than that of not guilty, because l do not
remember anything of the awful crime
with which | stand charged. Besides all
this, know just what a pressure is brought
against me. Had SO, 900 to procure wit
nesses at my trial, could prove to the
world that am not the villain have been
called. am here to-day for safe keeping.
i propose to take whatever sentence the
court may impose upon me with the con-
viction that l am able to bear with it, and
tell you right here l propose to offer a
plea of mot guilty, and shall protest
against anybody Offering a defense of in
sanity brought about by excessive drink"
Hayden spoke with seeming earnestness
in this respect. In reply TO my query
whether he would be able to attend the
trial set for Tuesday, and my telling him
tnat deputy Sherl1t Gallup was at Wind
sor to take him to lrasburgh on Saturday,
he replied. Eyes, shall 60. shall go if

The True Purpose Of Clothing

One of mans principal defensive weapons
in his struggle for existence is his clothing.
The place it takes in the history of civiliza-
ton and its connection with physiology are
not often thought of. People speak about it
generally from moral and aesthetic point of
view, but the main purpose of clothing is
seldom approached in conversational mean
the purely hygienic one. deem this to be
misfortune, because this forgetting of the
chief point has subjected mankind to the rule
of small and frivolous considerations. and
the manners and fashions of the period get
frequently the better of the hygienic fitness
of the clothing. Morality and beauty do not
depend on dress. They cannot be created or
preserved by it. These great qualities could
even exist without it, but the human body as
it is could not, or only barely and imperfectly
exist in our climate without the protection Of
clothing, which is more indispensable for our
health than for our beauty and morality

Helena, Montana, Thursday, July II, 1877


The writer learned from gentleman far
mer at Ridgewood that study of the drouths
of the past few years has resulted in the dis
covery that distinct belt of country has been
most affected, while on both sides plenteous
rains have fallen, and the earth has yielded
uncommonly good crops. Beginning below
Washington, the drouth has every year fol-
lowed regular pathway, varying between
100 and 200 miles in width, nortkward through
New Jersey and Pennsylvania to Philadelphia,
thence across New Jersey to New York, TAX
ing in Long Island and a portion OF West
chester county, and then returning following
the line of the Erie Railway to the lakes,
taking in Southern Canada and Northern
Ohio, and then westward across Michigan,
Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.
There bave been slight departures from this
course at several points every year, and the
belt thus followed has not all been visited
with equal severity; but all around it, in the
Southern States, in the New England States,
and in the Southwest, copious rains have WIS.,
tied the land, and good crops have been yield
ed by it. The forest fires, yet raging, par
TALLY confirm this discovery. Beginning at
Nova Scotia, they have journeyed direct into
this dry belt, and have followed it in all in
clinations along Lower Canada and into New
York, along the Erie Railroad to Southern
New York. This direction has been taken,
in all probability, because the oft-recurring
drouths, particularly last years, have left a
dryness not compensated for by the rain and
snow of the winter. A record has been kept
from which the belief in the theory Of a reg
ular drouth line has been deduced. 1t shows
that the line was followed in 1870 for the
first time New York State felt it with pc
culiar force, and not half a crop of hay was
gathered. In the spring of 1871, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan and the South
and West enjoyed an excellent season; but
the unfortunate belt suffered as before, and
the drouth spread to Vermont and New
Hampshire. In 1872, west and central Ohio
experienced their third year OF drouth, and
the dry pathway was heightened into Low
den county, Va, where in July, thirteen very
dry days we're experienced. In 1873 the same
line was followed Peaches fell from the
trees in Delaware on account of the dry and
cold weather. 1t was hot and dry in Wiscon-
sin, New Jersey and part of Connecticut and
New York. At Ridgewood, in July, no rain
had fallen since April, the grass burned up
and transplanted evergreens died. In 1874,
the Department of Agriculture reported par
tial drouth in all the States east of the Mis-
sissippi, except southern New England. In
1875 the spring and early summer were dry
along the belt described, and in 1876 the
drouth was very general. In northern New
Jersey vegetation burned up, meadows were
destroyed, potatoes and corn did not grow at
all, streams ran dry and wells gave out.-N.

New Farms Started Within a Year.


Does any one know how many new farms
were opened in the States and Territories last
year; how many og-cabins have been built i;
how many acres of virgi in soil plOwed up for
the first time? 1t is not probable that any one
does know with exactness, but there is little
table in the report of the Secretary of the In
terror, presented to Congress some time ago,
which furnishes the material for an approx
mateiy correct answer to these questions.
During the year ending with June last, there
were taken up under the homestead law l.
875, ,9O9 acres. New land taken up under the
homestead law is for actual cultivation, and
is generally taken in lots of 100 acres. 1t
would appear, therefore, that more than IT,
600 new farms were commenced last year,
under the homestead law alone. But this is
not all. There were sold during the year
64O,961 acres for cash, and 137, $40 acres
were allotted on military land warrants. 1t
is, no doubt, true that portion OF these 49,
331 acres were bought or entered by other
than actual settlers, by spectators or by per-
sons who made investments of this nature for
future purposes. It would be fair to esti-
mate, however, that one-half of the 778, ,331
acres were purchased or entered for the pur-
pose of immediate settlement or cultivation !;
and this calculation would give us 2, 433 more
new farms of 160 acres each. There were
also 81, ,O48 acres entered upon the Sioux and
Chippewa half-breed scrip, and 607, 1884 acres
taken up underthe imber-culture law. Leav-
ing these two latter items out of the calcula-
ton, we have an aggregate of about 1850
new farms commenced during the year. This
means 1860 new homes. In five years
from now these 19,5O0 farms, under good
management, ought to produce annually some
90, 900, 600 bushels of wheat, some 46, ,OOO. 600
bushels of corn, and some 100000 head of
cattle or swine-making provisions more
than enough to furnish meat and bread for
New York City for whole year.
