NTTH. C1T2-ITS MINES AND MILLS.
Few towns in Montana have enjoyed such
a prosperous season Of growth as has Butte
City. Since my visit last spring, its pro-
portions have spread far beyond my expec-
tations covering the ridges on the north and
south and extending high UP the. mountain
above. In the centre and business portion
of the town old cabins and little boANd shan
ties have been torn away and in their stead
have been built massive brick and franae
buildings, making the place we'll deserving
of the title city. Looking about the Streets
l noticed, many familiar signs, which is an
indication that the majority Of the business
is being done by old residents of the Terri
tory. Among the Hotable' improvements
Of the city is the Mamnsoth stable, built and
run by Messrs. Deegan & Stoner,, of Helena.
S. II. Hauser e. CO., Of the First Ma
tional Bank of Helena, and Donald. Clarke

EDITOR H~USBANDMAS:
According to promise, I take the present
opportunity of writing you. [ have made
the trip to this place through many Difficult
ties, such as even Mark Tapley could have
had credit in being jolly under. Ihe road
runs through what would be called a canyon
in other parts of the Territory for nearly
the whole distance (S5 miles, that it follows
the Deer Lodge river. l passed through the
thriving little village of New Chicago, and
might have mistaken it for the great city it
has been named after if the little Nsao had
been left off. 1t, however, has a good start,
and may some day rival the renowned Gar
den City, if the surrounding plain is taken
into the city limits when built up with stone
blocks. 1t has a store, two hotels, one sa-
loon, and last, but by no means least, a very
pretty school building, from the belfry of
which one has a fine view of the whole of
New Chicago. ..... ts,.s ,H.4s .nf-,5.
I attended the Fair at this place on Satur-
day, and beyond the representation of the
fair sex, it was a most tame affair, indeed.
The exhibition in Agricultural Hall was
very small in variety, but splendid in quail
ity. The same could be tr%uthfully said OF
Floral Hall. TIE grounds are much more
conveniently arranged than those at Helena,
no buildings being inside of the race course,
thereby enabling one to see the entire race
from Floral Hall. Something a little strong
er than wine found ready sale at twenty-five
cents a glass, and many felt its influence
sufficiently to enjoy the glorious present to
their fullest capacity. ln.a. 49,. nm. ID.
The crops in this section are generally
good, with the exception Of onions. I ana
told that a good merchantablc quality of
this vegetable is very scarce, in consequence
of the long wet season, through which the
farmer was unable to give thean the proper
attention. I will not close without men-
tioning the ranchmen with whom / had

WE learn from parties direct from Helena
that Charles, with % lodges and about 200
of his people, were encamped near there or
their way to hunt buffalo in the Muscleshell
and Judith countries. These Indians are
e~ndeavoring to purchase ammunition for
their hunt, but thus far, we are told, have
been unsuccessful. This is certainly unjust,
and a poor return for the service rendered
by this chief and his warriors to the settlers
Of Bitter Root valley during the invasion Of
the Nez Perces. Hearing Of the approach
Of the hostiles, Charles summoned his war
riors about him, and was ready and anxious
to oppose their entrance, and it is a we'll
known fact that their peaceable transit
through the Bitter Root is due in a great
measure to the presence of his warriors.
We cannot see why any one should enter
tain any antipathy for tins band of Flat
heads. They are not government pets, but
are non-treaty Indians, and have, we believe,
never received anything from the govern
ment except a title to their lands OF the Bit
ter. Root, which is their birthright, having
been in their possession long before the
white man had tracked the American plains
or even scaled the heights of the Alleghan-
les. They live there upon their own re-
sources, and are accustomed to take al an-
nual hunt for the purpose Of getting a SUP
ply of meat for the coming year, which, in
connection with what vegetables, ETC., they
can raise, enables them to live without pill
Laying. The Crow Indians, a far more.
%treacherous tribe. are furnished annuities,
and ammunition to. hunt in this region, and
we see no reason why the Flatheads, who
have never been known to take the Life Of
white man, should not be allowed to pull
chase ammunition when hunting is their
main source of living. ,sf, tt.5t, KRIS al'a

WE stated to our readers some time since
that those who were DESTROYS Of taking the
advanta 60 Of the Desert Land Act would do
well to do, so at once, as there was a strong
probability that it would be repealed. In
formation from the Land Office, of late date,
states that in consequence OF the many COM
plants Of fraudulent entries the Act has
been suspended, and all who have taken the
benefit of the law are required to make sat
isfactory proof to the land office at a s given
time appointed by the Register and Receiv-
er, that the lands entered are such az are re-
ferred to in the Act, and also that they are
the bonatele claimants. In Montana. the
people have not been real estate hungry,
and have paid but little or no attention to
the law. We doubt if there has been a doz-
en- entries made under it, hence We omit
publishing the full text Of the letter from
the Commissioner of the Land Office.

Select Poetry.
TO LIVE TOO LONG.


II is sad to lie down in the cold, cold grave,
When the mind is strong, and the heart is
brave;
1t is sad to leave all that is lovely and fair
And go to the tomb, to be mouldering there.
But oh If 'ts bitter to leave the worlds throng,
1t is sadder, far sadder, to live too long.
To see all that once we had dotted upon
Before us to rest and to happiness gone,
And to stand, like wlther'd oak, blighted and
weak,
The sole tree that survives the mad hurricanes
wreck,
O talk not of life, earth's bright dwellings
among,
For nothing can soothe him who lives too
long.
To know that the once echoing trumpet of
Fame
Shall never more mention that valueless name;
To know that none care for his bliss or his
doom
. rather I'd ask the cold rest of the tomb.
When glory has died, and the spirit of song
Has vanished, tits bitter to live too long.
And would lie down in my deep repose
Ere my bosom no longer with poesy glows;
And would arise to the mansions on high,
Ere the thoughts that now live in my spirit
shall die;
Ere the moments have fed, that to manhood
belong.
And feel that tits bitter to live too long.

BLOOMFIELD, PA TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1s, 1877.

"Give me my grandfathers cane ~ D
cried, and pulled.
She pulled also.
In moment more queer thing hap
pened.
The cane parted in the middle, and the
old woman flew one way and 1 an
other.
She lay Oh her back, bemoaning her
self.
L, younger and lighter picked myself
up at once.
But / held on to my half of grand
fathers cane, and shouted wildly for
joy, for in an instant / seen that the
cane was not broken, but that it was
made in two halves, and that the one /
held was hollow.
Something protruded from it.
All saw was bit of stiff, cracking
parchment, but knew as well as ever I
did anything, when drew it out, that 4
had found grandfather's will at last.
She knew it, too.
She scrambled up, as ] flourished it
over my head, and flew at me.
am not sure that my life would have
been safe had she caught me.
Terror, as well as joy, lent wings to
my footsteps.
flew out of the garden, down the
lane, and up the road to the office of MIR.
Curdle.
There, in my old frock, with whitewash
daubed all over it, appeared, breathless
and voiceless, ,grasping in my hand, dirty
and hardened with coarse work, the
proof that was heiress to fortune.
When went back to the homestead,
it was as its mistress. The old woman
had left it, and 1 never saw old Miss
Humphries again.
She returned to her former dwelling

A CRIPPLE FACTORY.

GONE months ago Prof. Ember of
- the medical college at Prague applied
to the Austrian chief of police at Vienna
for assistance in ferreting out and bring
ing to justice the most monstrous society
of criminals that ever existed. The re-
quired support was extended him, and
the patient work of an experienced de-
tective added to that of the professor
himself, eventually achieved the desired
end. A month ago body of police
made descent upon the heheadquarters of
the criminals, and their trial is at pres
ent pending in the Imperial courts.
The story which the facts elected by
this trial tells us is worth place in
Dante's " Inferno" The widest dream
of distempered nightmare never paint
ed picture so fraught with horror.
On the first day of the trial bowling
mob endeavored to tear the malefactors
into peacemeal, and it was only found
possible to continue the investigation by
garrisoning the court room with soldiers
and calling out two regiments of horse
to protect the criminals on their way
from the court to the prison.
The tavern of the "Golden Omelette"
is situated close under the fertilization
walls of the city of Radna. Its proprie-

stature, an old soldier of the Austrian
army, who was blinded by the explosion
of a cannon while firing salute from
the forts at Trieste.
Returning to his native city with his
mistress, fine looking woman cS the
Volga, he started the house of call for
beggars which he, up to few weeks ago
directed and made money out Of. The
house is a long, low, rambling structure
q nondescript of wood, stone and brick,
and when descended upon by the police,
served as u shelter for nearly two hun
dred men, women and children, all of
whom, with the exception of perhaps a
dozen were professional bsggars. Upon
the arrest of its host he was discovered
to be worth in money deposited in the
Imperial bank over 100000, an enor-
nous fortune for the country in which
he lived. How this money was obtain
ed is the browning horror of the entire
affair.
Antoine Cherguille, nicknamed " The
Playe, is the brother of Trouilleson's
mistress. Among the frequenters of the
"Golden Omeletten he is called the
g Operateur." He is a man of over fifty,
and for the last thirty years Of his life,
has been engaged in the business of
manufacturing cripples. From the evil
dence given at the trial, which Is likely
