The Fall Of a Mountain.
Helena Independent.

Nearly every resident of Montana
has either seen or heard of the fa-
nous Bear-Tooth Mountain, the most
prominent land mark of Northern
Montana. 1t is visible from different
points and distances ranging from for
ty to sixty miles, and is i'll full view
from Helena and the surrounding
country. The mountain is distant
about thirty miles from Helena, and
stands like grim and mighty senti-
mel at the end of the canon known as
Gate of the mountains, through which
flows the Missouri River. The Bear
Tooth was fully described as a won
derful land mark of the early eXplOr-
crS, Lewis and Clark. In all photo
CRAPS of thenOrthern country the two
tusks, rising black and grim about
the mountain, are the prominent
objects. The main tUsk remains, look
ing lonely and isolated in its gran
deur.
Last night party of hunters who
We're chasing game several miles north
of Bear-TOoth observed a rumbling
sound and quaking of the earth, and
sUppOsing it was an earthquake, and
not noticing a repetition of it, they
soon forgot the occurrence, and cOnJin-
ued the chase until theEy reached the
Beer's-TOOth. Here they were aston
ished at the appearance of the eastern
tusk. This was perpendicular mass
ofrOck and earth fully 500 feet high,
300 feet in circumfeTS S{7s-at its base,
and about $50 feet at the top. This
immense mass had become dislodged,
and coming down with the speed Of an
avalanche had swept through the for
est of large timber for a quarter of a
mile, entirely leveling it. The cOun-
try around is now covered with a
great mass of broken trees ana tons
upon tons OF rock, many of them as
large as an ordinary house.

The Want Of Brains in the Democratic
FartY.
NON York Sun.


The Democratic leaders feel 50 sure
of the Presidency at the next election
that they think it matters LGt what
course they pureu. in the Intermediate
time. They consider that they start
out in the contest with solid South
in their favor, and that against such
TREMENDOUS odds it will he il; vain for
the Republican, hosts 10 contend.
That tho Democrats have greatly
the advantage in the preference for
their party throughout all the old
Slave States is uudcniablC; yet hardly
any odds are 50 great that they can-
not he thrown away. The dizsatisfac-
ton among the democratic masses at
the failure to inaugUrate Mr.. Tilden is
not only general but intense. We
know that it is common in this Stgta
for Democrats to Say. "'F hat is the
use of coins 10 the polls2 We elected
onc man, and then couldn't get him
in, And the distrust felt toward all
those who were concerned IL throwing
away the election by agreeing TO the
Electoral Commission seems likely to
be permanent.
II 4 majority of the Democrats in
Congress are found, no matter how,
cOnseuting to the retention of the
Presidency by Mr.. Hayes 10 the end
of the term, il would not surprise us
to find the Democratic voters so dis
gusted with the want of brains, or the
want Of fidelity, or both, i'll tho lead
eTs, that they would let the next
Presidential election 20 by default.

confession of J. Bell since made to me,
disC1oses the fact. Had the 219 votes

turns, and the "A votes stuffed in the

rejected precincts which were excIud-
ed for irregularity and illegality, con-
trary to the decision of the Supreme
Court, been retained and counted, Mr.,
Tilden would have carried the State.
The conclusion, therefore, is irresisti-
bic that Mr. Tilden was entitled to the
electoral vote of Florida, not Mr..
Hayes. In making this statement,
my motives will doubtless be ques-
toned by many, but the facts will
stand alone as the truth, without any
mere motives to sustain them.
am free to admit, that viewing
things as l now do, and remembering
that Mr.. Hayes was continually in
spring his personal friends through
agents and by every means in his
power to secure for him the electoral
votes of Florida and Louisiana, and be-
Iieving it to have been a conscious
wrong on his part, done with the
knowledge that he had not been elect
ed, as his subsequent reputation of
Governor Packard, whose title was
bound up in his own, and his willful
and cowardly desertior of the very
men who had contributed so largely
to his election had shown, my con
tempt for the pitfalls. littlepess of the
man is beyond the-power ofexpression.
Mr.. Hayes has denied the validity of
his own title in denying Governor
Packard's. He has ignored his Flori-
da friends, showing that he believed
them unworthy and tainted with
fraud; yet, he holds to the Presidency,
which, i'll his own opinion, was secur-
ed by this very fraud He has cow
ardly abandoned and betrayed his
Southern Republican friends, through
fear of being ousted from an office he
believed he never was elected to by
the people Whatever may be the
opinion of men regarding my motives,
l give the facts, and leave my motives
to higher tribunal.

one. But he is intensely sensitive to
the opinion of just men. tIe knows
that in the judgment of all such there
Is no doubt OF his criminality. He
knows, too, that they have been with

cause of the terrible necessity feven at
the cost of his souls salvatiOn) Of de-
Tending the fair fame Of the woman he
betrayed.
But now that she has released him
from that bond of manliness, if he
persists in his lying he will utterly for
felt that remnant of respect which has
hitherto sustained him. He may go
on for little while, but he will ulti-
mately have to "step down and out"
His only chance of having a tear
shed on his grave, and saving his
name from the scOrn and contempt
of the world, is to confess now.

An Elephant that Fishes.

The following curious anecdote is

good many years, being chief of the
Quartermaster's Department at the

elephants, bullOck-C9Tts, ami soldiers
under his command.

Of the sacred river. And directly, |
asked the Major about his children

should see them.
"Soupramany has taken them out
fishing" said their father.
"Why, isn't Soupramany your great
war-elephant? ," | cried.
"Exactly So. Guu cannot have

the elephant who went mad while

down yonder. l saw the mad ele-

fling the rice into the river. His "ma-
hont" tried to stop him and he killed
the mahOnt. The native soldiers ran
away to hide themselves, and the mad
elephant, trumpeting, charged into
this inclosure. Old SOupramany was

If the board had acted in accordance
with the dCeiSiOu Of the supreme
Court of the State, defining the pow
ers and duties of the board in reference
to throwing out precincts, since ren-
dercd, there is no question of the fact
that Mr.. Tilden would have been en-
titled to the vote of Florida. EXclu-
ding the retuLn from Raker county,
which was counted, and which, j
have since learned from the parties
who made it, was a falsely-manufac-
tu1ed return, and including the true
return, which UGrresnOnded with the
precinct return of that COUNTY, would
certainly have given the State to Til
den. Archer precinct, No. ,, Alachua
county, was inclHded in the count
The trauu committed ia this precinct
was not shown TO the Board by the
Democratic lawyers, although a con-
test was made and much attention
given this precinct; but have recent
~ learned from Republican leaders of
that county, that after the returns had
been brought to Gainesville, the coun-
ty seat, ia votes Wplo added to the
returns, by the Inspector and Clerk
of said precinct. In Leon county, a
small Republican ballots were stuffed
into the ballot-bOX at precinct No.

the satisfaction Of the democratic
members OF the board, that these were
ballots. Subsequent confession shows
that they were stuffed into the box.
