Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1877-02-08

TAIN HUsBANDMAN, a w~ide-awake paper
published away out in Diamond City, Mon
tana.
in our simplicity we had always thought
that locality the abode of Indians, wild an
imals and possibly a few Adventurous whites
who carried their livesin tlfeirhands; We are
undeceived, and think if the inhabitants par
take of the character of the paper, the town
is rightly named. We suspect the editor in
making the above correction must have been
impelled to do SO, having in mind some
girl who would decline very emphatically
to have her charms put in the same sched-
ule with any other girl. We scout the idea
of an editor counseling his readers to think of
one lovely girl when he has an opportunity
of thinking of two, and have in mind a pair
whose beauty and the privileges of leap
year have almost driven us to distraction,
anG yet we would not stop thinking OF
them if we could, and couldn'tif we would.
True Economist,( IN. ~
Our New York contemporary is far from
guessing the subject to which we had
ISlCICllCC. lliOuSh hiNt WV oSSh AN"i"'
ling upon the all-important subject referred
to, our advice could not have been other
wise. 1t might answer for an editor in the
great metropolis where ladies predominant
over the men ten to one. to think of a pair
of young and lovely girls, or even a trio
would not be amiss. But here where we
have the order of things reversed, the editor
or reader considers himself in luck if he has
SO much as one fair and lovely girl to think
of. TThe luxury of one to think of him is a
%consumation little hoped for. The true econo-
mist could not do otherwise.
THE lecture Saturday evening last by
DR.. E. w. Finch was a complete success.
The audience, which was the largest that
las assembled in Diamond for several years,
Iste ned with profound attention-the silence
: being broken only by occasional rounds OF
applause. The lecture was a scholarly pro-
) duction. The subject-Man-Was as wei
: handled as could be in the brief space OF
thirty minutes. The DR.. has O
yery fine language, and his delivery for ON
unaccustomed to the public rostrum wa
t good. The entire assembly was we'll please
TO know that we have so able an orator i
our midst, and join with us in the hope tina

After the lecture, that portion of the an
dience which were denominated by the ora

!. important subject of life-matrimony--
stayed and enjoyed the giddy pleasures 9
