There is very laubable emula-
tion among the different hospitals
ofNew York Clty to keep their
rates Of mortality down to the low
est possible figure. Their managers,
however, ii their zeal to make a
good record sometimes resort to
means that don't seem to the un-
practiced eye quite so laudable.
On Saturday last, says the New
York Sun, a teamster, who had been
under treatment at the Chambers
street Hospital for pneumonia, was
shipped to the Bellevue Hospital. |
When the ambulance reached the
latter place the patient was dead.
II is alleged tDat when removed
from Chambers street he was
known to be in dying condition,
and that the transfer was ordered
for the simple purpose Of reducing
the death rate Of the hospital. The
patient, out Of regard to the in
terests Of both institutions, was con
siderate enough to die IN transitu

| if they are without friends or ac-
quaintances in the Territory, they
may not at first meet with very
encouraging prospects. A few re-
marks, by way of information and
advice, may not be unacceptable to
these new comers, as well to those
who are contemplating a trip to
Montana, with the view to earn
ing q living by honest toll.
The men who generally succeed
best in life ar those who start out
with determination to accept
any kind Of honorable employment,
however unremuneratiye, rather
than waste single day in idIeness.
There is perhaps no community on
the continent that is not in need Of
men and women Of this class, and
there is not state or Territory in
the Union that has felt the want
more severely than has Montana.
Benton, for example, is in need of
more substantial class Of houses
than the town can yet boast of, but
even our wealth;est citizens do not
feel justified in erecting brick, |
stone or concrete buildings at the
present cost Of material and labor
out let some enterprising men offer
@ supply brick, stone, lime and
mason labor at reasonable rates,
nd it will be found at once that
here IS demand enough for these
rtlcles, but the supply is wanting.

ustrles common to the Territory.

Edito, Home Journal:
Not having seer an article in your val
n, bic paper for some time from our dis
trict, I thought | would write you up all
the general news that we have.
The wheat crop Is very spotted In ap-
pearnnce. On some farms II looks we'll
on others, adjoining, II Is badly Injured
with the rust. Upon the whole, | think
we WIFI make per.aps two-thirds OF an av-
crage yield per acre. Corn, so lar, Is
promising. The cut worms have not
done much damage this Spring, but We
have another pest, generally known In
this vicinity rs C-d-N-d- i-d-a-t-e s, Which
we very much fear will destroy our grow
ing corn crop. You, perhaps, have heard
OF them ere this.
There seems TO have been a series Of
burylaries or lOOdlers in his and adjoin-
ing vicinities, confined mostly to kitchen
rObberlcs. We learn that the Kitchens OF
Mcssrs Coach Hampton, John Shell and

the State of Tennessee for the manufacture
and sale OF the Patent Umbrella Holder,
lately patented by our county man, Mr..
John II. Bowers-which | am now ready
to offer to the people for sale, or rights
for counties. This is bound to prove one
of the greatest conveulences to all VINO
have any duties to perform, either IN sum
shine or rain. 1t Is very serviceable to
any one driving II buggy, hack or wagon;
and best of all for persons driving reapers
or mowers. 1t protects them from che
scorching heat Of the sun. and permits OF
the tree use of both hands. 1t Is also very
useful and pleasant in blowing, hoclng,
gardening, and many other of the duties
performed on the farm. Also, it is very
useful in horseback exerciscs-snited for
physicians, ministers, and others riding
much on ho~rseback-and invaluable to
persons working around tllreslling ma
chimes. while the cost is nothing to COM
pare with the comfort received.
