Death Of n. j. Bean.
sTHAEBURGER 4 SPE

Death OF n. j. Bean.
SWEET GRASS, Mont, Dec. 4, 1873.
Editor Avant Courier:
Last night about So'clock as MIR. n. j.
Bean was going to bed he was taken with
bleeding of the lungs and died in about
two minutes He was 46 years Of age.
Mr.. B. lived on Clark's Fork Bottom and
was on his way to Bozeman to visit &C
quaintances there and ut Middle Creek.
where he formerly resided and was we'll
known. His partner, A. Il. Ford. has
been sent for and it is the intention to bury
MIR. Bean here unless Mr.. Ford makes
other arrangements.
Yours, &C.,
~ WIN. BRAMBLE.
Since the above was in type. we learn
that Mr.. Bean went to California in 1855,
and while working In the mines there in
jured his lungs. From there, in 1857, he
went to Frazier river, where he was tlken
down with lung fever. He succeeded in
recovering. and, under the advice of his
physician, commenced to travel. He first
went to the Sandwich Islands, where he
remained year, then to Maine and remain
ed year. then to Minnesota, where he met
with Mr.. A. 4. Ford, and with him, in 1862,
started for Montana and was with the first
train that went into Bannack. Mr.. Bean
afterward removed to Gallatin valley,
where he made his headquarters. Last
year he visited California. but finding that
his health was rapidly falling him he re-
turned to the valley. At one time he was
quite wealthy, but he expended his fortune
in the endeavor to improve his health and
prolong his life, and during the last few
years he has been cared for by his partner,
Mr.. A. r. Ford.

be declared neutral port but open to
Austrian men-of-war. The Journal de
position that the congress will permit
Turkey to oppose it's decisions.
THE MONTENEGRIN QUESTION SETTLED.
A Berlin dispatch of July 2,
says the Montenegrin question was set
tied at Mondays sitting of congress in
accordance with the Austrian pro-
eramme. Montenegro receives consid-
cradle increase Of territory on the
north and northeast, and acquires,
subject to certain restrictions. Antivari

the shore south of Antivari,
and care is taken to leave about twenty
miles between Montenegro and Servia
for the contemplated Austrian railroad
to Salonica. The territory coded to
Montenegro is about half what was al
lotted to her in the Sar Stefano treaty.
In the discussion of the Roumania ques-
ton Beaconfield deplored but contented
himself with protesting against Russia s
infractlon of treaties. The congress
declared the independence of Rouma-
MIA on condition that equality of civil
and religious right be accorded to all
her inhabitants, and that all foreign
states be treated equally in regard to
commercial treaties. Roumania will
protest against but acquiesce in the
cession Of Bess arabia.
THE CHANCES OF GREECE
have not improved. Russia objects to
the extension of Greek influence except
as regards few frontier districts. 1t is
feared not a single power will defend
the cession of Crete to Greece. Much
will be attained if the turks will be in
duced to accede to a trifing
ratification Of her frontier. The con-
gross will certainly pay little heed to
Turkeys passive resistance to Austrian
occupation. The Turkish plenipoten-
tiaries, who neither have received nor
will receive fresh instructions. will sign
the treaty of peace without difficulty.
NOT HAPPY.
A Constantinople dispatch under
date of July LIST, says the porte is dis
satisfied with Caratheodori Pasha. it's
plenipotentiary to the congress, and
possibly Safvet Pasha will himself 20

OutdOne by a Boy.

A lad in Boston, rather small for his
years, works in an Office as errand-boy
for four gentlemen who do business
there. One day the gentlemen were
chatting him a little about being so
small, and said to him: "You never
will amount to much: you never can do
much business-you are too small. .
The little fellow looked at them. "Well,' y
said he, cas- small as | m, can do
something which none Of you four men
can do" "Ah, what is that'" said
they. 81 don't know as l ought to tell
you," he replied. But they were
anxious to know, and urged him to tell
what he could do that none Of them
were able to do. "I can keep from
swearing" said the little fellow There
were some bushes On four manly faces,
and there seemed TO be very little
anxiety for further information on the
point.
