MILES CITY, M. T., Oct. II, 1871.
ED. TR1BUNE.-Evcrything is quiet
here. The wood contract here has been
thrown out, and wood is going to be re-
ceived at S. for green and $6 for dry.
Miles City is beautifully situated on the
South bank of the Yellowstone, about
three miles below the fort, and is being
settled up IN rapid and permanent man
ner. Already population of abont 900
have located here and are building homes
and business houses, in a substantial and
ftgoing to stay" way.
The village is surrounded by a beauti-
full valley which is being taken up for
ranches, and a company will be organic
ed for the purpose Of bringing in large
irrigating ditch from Tongue river. A
county is organized under the name of
Custer, and law and order prevails. The
effect of law and law abiding citizens has
been to make this as peaceful and quiet a
place as any frontier town have ever
been in. The buildings are mestly built
of hewed logs, but several adobes have
been erected, which prove to be substanti-
al.
PERSONAL.
Judge Carmichael presides as Probate
Judge, John Mccormick as County Clerk
and H. J. Happy as Sheriff, all efficient
and trustworthy officers and gentlemen.
Prominent among the business houses are
Paul Mccormick & Co., Matt Carroll, A.
R. Ninninger and Charley Johnson. The
smiling face Charley Savage meets you
from over the counter of Ninninger's
store. Charley Brown has erected fine
building on Main street and is going to
stay right here. Bob Roberts and Happy
have fine large saloon and are ioing a
good business. Business has been brisk
and the merchants find themselves al
ready short of goods. Mccormick & Co.
have large stock on the way from above
and Charley Savage has stock coming
from below. Matt Carroll will receive a
large stock by the Diamond r train now
enroute to this place from Bozeman.
A FLEET COMING.
One hundred and twenty of the me-
chan1cs that have been employed build
ing the fort, will start from here about
the 2oth inst, for Bismarck. J.. Gra-
ham has the contract to transport them
in Mackins ws. So look out for the fleet.
Ames & stone, contractors, have built
gne Court Aouse for the County. The
weather is fine but winter is not far dis
tant. Tell our Great Father at Washing
ton to hurry up that little Army appro-
priation scheme, as vouchers are played
out We want little more money in
ours. More Anon,

Mr.. Moody and Mrs. Livermore.

Mr.. Moody has disappointed some of
his warmest friends in his efforts to rule
Mrs. Livermore out of the temperance
work. When we remember how grandly
she has always stood in the breach
when great truth was to be enunciated,
when we remember her infinite tender
ness for the oppressed everywhere, and
how, for years, she has been devoting
her energies and talents to teaching
men and women to live truly, those
who know her best have no fears as to
how she will die, and regard Mr..
Moody's anathema, at the very best, as
evidence that his liver is out of order.
Would not it do him good to read Mark
9:3S, 80, 40? There is no one man quite
capable of running all the temperance
ammunition in his private bullet mould,
and the effort to wipe out such bomb
shells as those of Mrs. Livermore sug-
gests the idea that somebody's pop-gun
is not making as much noise as would
be agreeable to the person firing. Every
cart cannot run in the sumo rut, and
while we are all agreed that Mr.. Moody
is very large man, he would be rather
thin if spread out over all the reforms Of
the world.
1t is little strange that the devil
should seize upon the Lords tools to
break the heads of true reformers.
There is not State in this Union
which has produced such fruits for the
temperance reform as the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of Massa-
chusetts, and L verify believe there is
not an union in the land that has re-
ceived so much officious dietation from
bigots and sectarian leaders. AS an evil
dence of the manner in which the peo-
pie view this matter, an agent was SELL
ing the life of Moody in this vicinity,
and accosting a gentleman who is an
ardent friend of the cause of temper
anee, and yet who enjoys Mrs. Liver
more's grand utteranees, said:
| "Mr. Moody is a great man."
~ presume so," was the reply, "but
he does not want any one but those he
terms Christians to work in the temper
ance cause. Don't want his life."
! 1t might be an act of charity to send
Mr.. Moody a geography, so that be
might become acquainted with the fact
| that the world is large enough for all
the workers, and greater than Moody
shall judge the work at last. Cor.

Wife-beating has never been an
American vice, and its general introduce
tiOn is luxury which we can we'll af-
ford to dispense with. Martin Griffin,
who, recently, in Greenwich street,
knocked down his wife Mary Ann and
kicked her in the stomach, so that she
may possibly die, must be a big brute;
and John Geary, who, in Tenth Avenue,
was found standing, ak in hand, over
his insensible Ellen, must be a bigger
brute than Martin Griffin. In both
these cases, the injuries are so serious
that the examination is deferred to
await the event. In England wife
beating has become so common a crime
as to arouse a good deal Of debate con-
cerning the proper penalty which should
be inflicted upon the men (so-called)
who are guilty of it. Its fagrant Grim
inality and ingrained cruelty require no
demonstration, and it is to be hoped
that our courts will deal with it sum-
marily and severely.-N Y Tribune.

FANNY FERNS PICTURE OF THE
MODERN OLD MAID.-For the benefit of
those who may have seen it when it
fret appeared in the RevoLution, we re-
produce here etchings from Fanny
FERNS picture of the modern old maid: !:
mo, sir, she don't shuttle round in
'skimpt raiment, awkward shoes, cot
ton gloves, with horn side-combs fasten-
ing six hairs to her temples. She don't
read Laws Serious CALI or keep cat,
or a snuff box, or go to bed at dark, or
scowl at little children, or gather catnip.
Not bit of it. She wears nicely-fitting
dresses and becoming bits of color in her
hair, and she goes to concerts or parties,
and suppers and lectures, and don't go
alone, either, and she lives in nice
house earned by herself, and gives nice
little teas in it. She don't work for no
wages and bare liberation day and
night. No, sir. If she has no money
she teaches, or she lectures, or she
writes books or poems, or she is book
keeper, or she sets type, or she does
anything else but depend upon some
body else's husband; and she feels well
and independent in consequence, and
holds up her head with the best and
asks no favors, and IUOnlan'S rights has
uOue II' Oue has seuse as wen aS iIesu-
ness, and conversation repGrtee as well
as dimples and curves. She carries a
dainty parasol, and natty little UNI
brella, and has live poets and sages and
philosophers in her train, and knows
how to use her eyes, and don't care if
she never sees a cat, and couldn't tell a
snuff-box from a patent reaper, and has
bank book and dividends, and her
name is Alice or Phoebe, and woman's
rights has done it,"

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.-Under
the above heading, the San Jose Mer-
clry thus emphasizes the need of wom-
en- on the school boards:
The lady candidates for school trustee
in the First and Third Wards are both
defeated. 1t was their misfortune to
have two popular male competitors
Kennedy and Lendrum in the First and
Pomeroy and Burdett in the Third
Ward-to contend with. Besides, it was
the first attempt to bring forward the
names of the ladies for the suffrages of
the voters of this city for the office to
which the statute entities them. 1t
seems so eminently proper that our
board of education should be composed
in part of women, that we are sure it is
but a question of time when we shall
see them occupying seats in that body.
The friends of this movement are not at
all discouraged. They have accom-
plished quite as much as they had rea-
son to expect. They will come up to
the work next spring with firmer pur-
pose, and though again defeated, they
will persist until they see the right tri-
umph. The ladies need feel no chagrin
over their defeat. They were the pio-
neer representatives of principle. 1t
is the principle that has suffered tenn
porary defeat.

decision to the higher court, on the
ground that, as it sells only to its own
members, a visitor brought into the
club-room by member not being per-
mitted to buy, no license is requisite.
Should the appeal be adverse, the ques-
tion arises, what will the club do? Lii
cense to sell carries public rights for any
one to demand drink; hence we fancy
that our bodies of gentlemen who have
been able to indulge their propensity
for drink under the specious guise of the
privacy of club-room, will have to
mend their ways or admit the great un-
washed into their midst. FELIX.

SHALL WOMEN VOTE ?-Mr. Chris
tiancy, Republican Senator from Mich
igan, in presenting to the United States
Senate a petition from the citizens of
Michigan, asking adoption of Six
teenth Amendment to the Constitution
OF the United States, prohibiting States
from DISTINGUISHING persons on account
of sex, said he was informed that there
was not a single drunkard, gambler, or
person of vicious life among the petit
tioners, and he believed the statement.
His observations in the State of Michi-
gan, where over forty thousand votes
were given for Woman Suffrage, satis-
fled him that the people advocating this
amendment were among the most
thoughtful and Intelligent people of this
country.

CHINA.

We are expecting Chinese minister
here, who will make this his headquar-
ters. One of his assistants, Yung Sing,
was brought here some twenty-five
years ago by a Congregational minister.
He studied at Yale with distinction,
and was noted for his quickness and in
telligence. He was made Chinese COM
missioner of education in America, and
now has 100 young men under his super
vision at the various schools and col
leges of New England, all of whose ex-
penses are borne by the imperial gov
ernment. He wears no queue, having
imperial permission to dispense with it,
and also to wear an American dress,
and having married an American lady,
with whom he lives, he has become so
thoroughly yAmericanized as to give diff
ficulty in distinguishing him as a for
eigner when in company. China, like
Japan, is fast acquiring all the advan-
tages given by the superior progress of
the Anglo-Saxon, and will soon have
engrafted upon her institutions through
the men she is educating here all that
puts us in advance of her in so far as
heathenism will permit. No nation
can make superior progress that is
bound down by superstitions of idolatry,
and while China is hedged in with her
peculiar religion and terrible enervating
influences, she cannot equal in aggres-
sive or belligerent power the Anglo
Saxon, who educate her best youths for
