stance; they make such howl about their
victory there in Congressional elections,
when the fact is, New York is so appor-
toned that II the State went Democratic by
10000, the majority of the Congressional
delegation could be Republicans. Then
there's Pennsylvania; it was always Re.
publican State, and il it hadn't been for the
split in the Democratic party over the
money question, this year might have told
u different tale. In Massachusetts there
wa, also split in the party, which accounts
for the way things went there. In fact, in
every State that went Republican, the Dem
ocrats were divided; so that can't see
where the grca, victory of Republcanism
over Democracy comes in.

Fall OF a Mountain PromOntory.

Nearly every resident of Montana has
either seen or heard of the famous Bear
Tooth Mountain, the most prominent
landmark in Northern Montana. 1t is
visible from differentpoints at distances
ranging from forty to sixty miles, and
is in full view from Helena and the sur
rounding country. The mountain is
distant thirty miles from Helena, and
stands like grim and mighty sentinel
at the end of the canyon known as the
Gate of the Mountains through which
flows the Missouri River. The Bear
Tooth was fully described as a wonder
full landmark of the early explorers
Of Lewis and Clarke. In all photo
graphs of the northern country the two
tusks, rising black and grim hundreds
of feet above the mountain, are the
prominent objects. The main tusk re-
mains, looking lonely and isolated in
its grandeur. Recently party OF
hunters who were chasing game several
miles north of the Bear Tooth, observed
rumbling sound and quaking OF the
earth, and supposing it was an earth.

it. they soon forgot the occurrence and
continued their chase until they reached
the Bear Tooth. Here they were as
tonished by the disappearance OF the
eastern tusk. This was perpendlcu.

feet high, 800 feet in circumference at

Choosing a wife by Proxy.

The following occurred on the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe Road: A gen.
tleman travelling between Pueblo and
Kansas City was engaged in converse
ton by very intelligent but rough
looking miner, who had been for four
years an auriferous adventurer in the
San Juan country, and who had ''struck
it rich" He made no secretof the fact
that his visit to a certain town in Mich
igan was for the purpose of marrying
the girl he left behind him. for
whose future comfort he had built and
furnished house high up among
the snow-capped mountains of Col
orado. But this does not interest
the reader as will the balance of the
story. He left in San Juan partner,
whom he describes as square a man
as ever struck drill" with whom he
had constantly labored three long years
as mere "prospectors, and with whom
he now jointly held one of the most
valuable properties in their district.
Jim, too. desired to go East, but their
mutual interests made it impossible; he
didn't know any one in particular East,
but then he wanted to go. Jim was
rather bashful, reticent man. and did
not like to tell even his partner the real
purpose of his coveted visit; but upon
the eve of the departure of the latter,
the purpose of whose visit was kpown,
Jim made the request, in dead earnest,
that he bring him wife. "Will you
do itp'' he was asked. "Do it, you
bstp, aHad he anv Instructions To olive
in regard to the selection?' Yes;;"
he said, Harry, bring me a good,
honest, sensible girl, what there's no
foolishness or show about-a girl what IL
make an honest man an honest wife,
and that's just the kind O. woman I'll
take out, and the one that'll be Jim's
wife" While this manner of choosing
a wife is a somewhat novel one, it
must be confessed that Jim's ideas of
the woman best calculated to make with
him the journey of life was good one.

INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

A printer in Wellsville, N. Y, who
has been deaf for many years, was
placed in highly-heated room last
week, to help him out of case of the
chills. He was seized with sharp pains
in the head, and fell down insensible.
The whistle of locomotive woke him
next morning, and he has since been
able to hear well, and speech, which
had also about left him, has returned.

Nations will reckon hereafter with the
sun spots as with winter and summer.
Coincident with the cycle of maximum
sun spots is the maximum flow Of
water in the great rivers of the globe,
and probably in the fluctuations Of the
great Laurentian Lakes.
Along with the cycle of marine cas-
ualties runs step by step the cycle of
tropical rainfall, which has itself apor-
tentous coincidence with the cycle of
Indian famine, so that the speculations
of obscure Herr Schwabe and the sta
tistics of Mr.. w. w. Hunter have been
the prime causes of that success with
which Lord Lytton, the Viceroy of
India, measured and mitigated the ap-
palling calamities of the last famine.
So that hereafter the cyclic character of
the tropical rainfall will be regarded
duly in the greatest problem of Indian
administration-tbe outstanding and
distributing of the water supply. so as
to insure a continuous food supply for
the people of that crowded peninsula.

of consequences already visible from
the discovery of this new law, yet
they are of wide reach and deep mo-
