On New Years Eve the Grange gave a

WE learn from the Nissouliam. OF the 4th.
that the people of Bitter Root have at last
taken steps towards building a wagon road
out at The head of the Bitter Root river to-
wards Bannack. and that Hon. w. E. Bass
and 2. NJ. Lafountain are circulating Il sub
scriptlon for the purpose OF raising funds
for this work. We have been al earnest all
4yOcate of this route from the beginning, and
still look upon it as the most important
wagon road at present. needed in Montana.
1t is not only essential for the purpose OF
opening up Il fine extensive district of coun-
try to prospectors and stock men, but it
opens to the Bitter Root valley a nearer and
better market than is afforded at present in
Deer Lodge county. will prevent the pro-
ducts OF Bitter Root entering into competi-
ton with those of the farmers of the Deer
Lodge valley, and thereby the agricultural
interests Of each section will be greatly add
vanced. 1t will give to Missoula county a
much shorter and better outlet towards the
States, and enable them to get freights FROM
the railroad at a much cheaper rate. The
road once built would, of course, necessitate
a mail line. which would give MiSsoula the
States mails at an even date with Helena.
The people Of the stock region around BAN
mack, Of Horse Prairie, Lemhi, and the Sal
mon river district, need The flour, pork.
well-matured vegetables and luscious fruits
grown on the Bitter Root, and Bitter Root
needs the money which these sections are
now sending yearly 10 Utah tor these arti-
Giles. We regard it as the most important
step that Missoula county can take. The
probability that the Utah & Northern rail
road will be pushed as far rs Snake river the
coming summer, renders the road of still
greater moment. With the railroad to the
valley OF Snake river, immigration will push
forward to Montana, and if Missoula county
would receive her share a direct road is es-
%sential. for it's evident that few would reach
there If they must pass through, so many
other Of orr inviting valleys on the way, as
Is now the case. We are glad to see this
work under way, and hope it may be COM
pleted at an early date.

IT now transpires that the whole truth
concerning the late Nez Perez war, all the
difficulties overcome by Joseph, their leader,
and the probable cause OF their capture, has
never been told. After the war was once
i~naugurated, and they found themselves
overpowered in Idaho, the tribe were no
doubt q unit in their determination to force
their way to the great plains east OF the
Rocky Mountains, but when they at length
reached the Juditl-the land Of buffalo
and found themselves still holly pursued by
overwhelming number, dissensions arose as
to what course should be neXt pursued. A
portion of the tribe DESIRED to hurry north
and seek safety under the British flag, while
the more determined, flushed with the con,
tidcnce in their own ability which SO many
victories had inspired, desired to turn south,
recross the Yellowstone. and elude the
troops among the rough hills and. cooleys of
the bad lands in the untrequented region of
the Little Missouri. So great were the diff
~ferences on this point that a mutiny occur
red in which three of their warriors were
killed. TO lead so small a band OF warriors,
encountered with their families, through so
many difficulties, required no common abil-
ity, but to quell amntiny amonga desperate
people required better leadership, still JOS
cph was equal to the emergency. The dis
cordant elements were, for the time, har-
monized, and the journey northward con
tinued. But the fact that they were over.
taken and captured within a days journey
Of the British line is, due more to the want
OF unity of purpose and an indisposition to
seek safety over the border than to their in
ability 10 have accomplished it..
It is at length revealed that there are only
Sc warriors now prisoners, and a number of
these came in after the battle. A consider

PRODUCTION OF SILVER.

The yield OF the Mexican mines since co,,-
quest up to 1850 amounted to So, O19, OOO. 900.
and all from a comparatively limited district.
The registered coinage of the mint OF Mex
leo for the last 135 years ending January LIST,
1874, amounts to $l,942, 973, 1O7. and taking
into consideration the fact that up to the
commencement of the nineteenth century
Mexico paid q tribute Of one-fiith or twenty
per cent. of her yield OF bullion to the King
OF Spain. the result seems astounding. The
following is the registered yield Of a few sii-
Yer mines on this continent. Many others

Queer Place for a Worm.

Henry R. Funk, of Allentown, has
for some time been the victim of dis
ease which he believed to be con-
sumption. He wasted away under his
besetting malady until there was hardly
any thing left on his bodily frame save
the skin, and he had about made up his
mind that it would be best for him to
a considerable time experienced at in
tervals queer sensations in his wind
pipe, as if there were some creeping
thing in it, and frequently remarked
these experiences to his family, but was
as often talked out of it as being the
natural result of his sickness or mere
imagination. On recent day while
seated in rocker the sensation again
presented itself. 1t felt exactly, he says,
as if some reptile was endeavoring to
crawl up and out his trachea, and being
about the same time taken with severe
coughing fit, he, to his great surprise,
as well as the utter establishment of his
family, expelled curious worm about
two inches in length and thick in its
middle as straw stem. 1t was of 8
whitish color, and SO transparent that
the blood in its vitals, and which it had
absorbed from its victim, could be
clearly -discerned. The worms head
was sharp as a needle, and its hinder
part flat and stumpy. 1t was remarka-
bly, active and worked its head with
great energy. How it came to the man
or how it originated is thing altogether
inexplicable, his doctor, to whom the
worm was given, and who has it pre-
served in alcohol, never having heard of
a like case before. The man has since
experienced change for the better, and
feels SO much improved that he is in
spired with confidence that he will soon
again be well man.-Readi,sg( Penn.

Cheap Living.

The problem of cheap living, which
has drawn out so much correspondence
in this country, has also attracted atten-
ton in England. Vegetarians and
meat-eaters have demonstrated that
sixpence day is amply sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of any reason
able appetite, and an enthusiast declares
in the Manchester Guardian that man
can live well on sixpence a week. He
himself never spends more. For IL
years he has abstained from any other
food than bread and water, and at the
age of 81 is in the enjoyment of better
health than he ever had in his earlier
years. He is blessed with small appe-
tite, and finds four-pound loaf of bread
quite sufficient for his sustenance during
the week. Bread, he argues, is the nat
ural food of man; if he will adhere to
this diet and take proper care of his
health, he will in nine cases out of ten
arrive at green old age. 1t is the con-
sumption of stimulating food, such as
intoxicating liquors, milk, flesh-meat,
and fish, which enervates the minds and
bodies of men, and prepares the way
for disease.

A Story for Some Singers.

Recently, at a social gathering, Bishop
Harris was invited to sing. He declin-

trative of his talent in that line: Dur
ing his journey through Palestine, one
evening after he and Mr.. Spencer, who
occupied the tent with him, had gone
to bed, the Bishop began humming a
tune of the olden time, called "New
Durham" Mr. Spencer joined in, and
the two began singing verse of one OF
our familiar hymns. Before the verse
was finished, donkey just outside OF
the tent prayed as only donkey in the
East can bray. While the hills of Jul

this most extraordinary and untimely
performance of the donkey, the Arab
dragoman put his head inside the tent

A Great California Collection of
Insects.

Some details have reached us concern
ing large collection in entomology
made by Henry Edwards of San Fran
cisco during the last 25 years. Prof.
Davidson, President of the Academy OF
Sciences, states that this collection OF
insects is one of the largest ever made
in the United States, and by far the most
complete ever made on the Pacific coast.
1t consists of about 60, 200 species, COM
prising more than 100000 specimens.
These include not only all the orders on
the Pacific coast, but nearly or quite all
in the United States, with a large rep
resentation of orders from all parts of
the world.
The collection is said to be really one
of the most complete known in any
country. 1t is valued at 1900, or,
rather, that is about the sum expended
in freights, cabinets, and the purchase
of rare specimens. The labor of rs
years is not estimated. Times.

CURRENT TOPICS.

The Texas Democratic State Conven-

. over the nomination for Governor, on
the Esd agreed upon Judge Orrin M.
Roberts as compromise candidate,
and he was accordingly nominated.
Judge Roberts is of Smith County, aged
6S, an at present Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court. The other nomina-

for Lieutenant-Governor, II. B. Nc

General. Stephen H. Darden for Comp
troller, F. r. Lubbock for Treasurer,
and VIM G. Walsh for Commissioner of

favors the investigation by Congress of
the alleged frauds committed at the last
Presidential election, but says that the
decision Of The Forty-fourth Congress
by which Hayes was seated should not
be disturbed The contraction of the
