est daughter Of Mr.. VIM. Ernst, aged years
and II months. H.ltl-'t
LITTLE LULU. .t#
l have been thinking, wonderfra, all the day
If the same voice that called Lufu away.
Should come and whisper to a little one
That had learned to calling very own.
What thought in tie world, framed into
speech,
Could bring me any comfort or could teach
MY aching heart to ever reconcile, u
The laughing, loving bloom with Deaths cold
smile.
And this think is all the darling child,
That came into my arms all undefiledr
And brought with it such wealth of love and Joy
That time or change can never dare destroy.
That Death itself can never take away
1t has been mine, and so will always stay
bright pure link forever given,
To keep the earth spirit nearer heaven.
SO little Lulu with her winsome face
Her loving prattle, and her childish grace,
Will ever be the shining star OF light.
To keep the hearts she lived in, warm and
bright.
COBB RN.-In Paris, KenoSha Co., September
9th, 1878, at the residence of her son, Edward
Coburn. Jr, after many years of suffering
Hannah, wife of Edward Coburn, aged II years
Like kindly friend who waits within
The open door of pleasant home,
Safe from the outside strife and din,
And bids the tired traveller ''come"
And rest within its peaceful shade,
Secure from all that can modest,
Free from the Snares that make afraid
And with home comforts freely blest =
SO He who ever kindly waits
To take His weary children in,
Beyond the portals Of those gates
That shut out all the grief and sin
So He has beckoned to His child
To come at last with Him and rest.
| She heard His voice, and sweetly smiled
| Who shall not say that it is best?

THE ELECTIONS in Iowa, Indiana
Ohio and West Virginia, as far as
heard from, have gone favorably to the
Republicans. They have carried Iowa
by large majority and, it is believed,
have elected all the Members of Con
gress.
There is but little news from India
ma. Senator Mcdonald, Democrat, who
has made a thorough canvass of the
State, says the Congressional delega-
ton will be six Republicans, six Dem
ocrats, and one National.
Ohio is thought to have gone Repub-
lican by $4,000 and that eleven Of the
twenty Members of Congress are Re-
publicans.
There is no news from West Virgin
ia at this time-Wednesday afternoon.
1t has no doubt gone Democratic.

It was this famous horse that Sheridan

raised near Grand Rapids, Mich, and
was twenty years old when he died.

SINCE the early excitement of our gold
mines died away and our population began
TO decrease, there has been a feeling of dis
trust on the part of many of our people as
to the immediate future OF the Territory.
and a disposition has prevailed to get along
with anything, taking no thought of the
morrow. For the past five years, during
the seourge Of grasshoppers and the loss Of
population, this feeling has been intense I;
but within the past twelve months a very
decided change has come about. Human
ingenuity and our rapid rushing mountain
streams are almost proving a match for the
~grasshoppers. and population has reached
it's lowest ebb, and |, full tide is now bearing
back a flood of immigration upon us. Full
confidence seems to he restored. Farmers
are. beginning to improve and beautify their
homes, stock men are making substantial
improvements about their ranches, stock are
marketable at all times, and prices are inn
proving. Farms have a permanent value,
and everything seems TO point to an era OF
thrifty and prosperous. times. The price of
labor is somewhat reduced from former
years, yet employment is to he had the year
round, which is much better for the employ
or. as he is enabled to embark in enterprises
with more security than heretofore, and is
equally good for the laborer. Thus far the

WHEN we commenced the publication Of
this paper it was not our intention to canva
the Territory in its interests any further
than to introduce it generally into the sew.
cral valleys, since the low price at which il
is furnished will not justify the outlay; and
we were wholly opposed to the agency sys.
tenn and believed it to be an unnecessary
tax upon the people. But we find by ex
perience that a travelling man for our paper
is very essential. The vast amount of in
formation that he is enabled to gather anC
disseminate by his correspondence through.
out the land, respecting the facilities anC
progress of different sections constitutes 6
very interesting feature, and amply repays
the extra service; besides, the system has
been so long practiced by our old establish
cd journals that subscribers wait to be called
on before paying their subscriptions, which
renders it almost inevitable to the existence
of a paper.
Owing to these facts, our assistant, w. III,
Sutherlin, will again make a tour of the en-
tire Territory the coming summer. It will
be his object to gather material facts rela-
tive to farming, fruit growing, dairying and
the growing of live stock in the different
valleys. 10 this end he will endeavor to
visit every subscriber, and we trust may find
each and every one in possession OF some
fact worthy of reproduction. The events
and the progress which is apparent from
observation will appear in his regular cor
respondence, while the practical facts and
experiences of those he meets will be noted
down, and, after careful comparison, will
appear in articles under appropriate head
ings during the winter months. The HUs-
nANDMAN is gradually gaining a strong foot
hold. 1t is increasing in interest, and its
subscription list is growing by degrees both
in numbers and permanency. Being so tar
isolated from the States, and the conditions
Of husbandry being SO greatly different, the
maintenance Of a Journal of its class is a ne
cessity to the development of our Territory's
agricultural and live stock resources and the
education OF it's people in these several
ceived it's publication, and to this end still
bend our energies. Being fully assured by
the generous patronage received that, the
HUsBANDMAN is not without merit, it IS. our
object the coming summer to place it in
every country home in Montana, and to this
purpose earnestly solicit the aid of every
subscriber. Show our paper to your neigh
bors, and point ont its interesting features,
that they may see wherein they can save
money by reading il.
"Will" will start on his tour in a few days,
and we trust our friends will receive him
with a kindly welcome, and replenish his
wallet with a few %greenbacks to cheer him
on his way.
