Helena weekly herald. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1867-1900, 1878-05-23

A Mr.. Patrick, who was one of Represent
alive James A. Garfeld's earliest friends, in
giving a sketch of his career to some school
children several years ago, said:
l want to tell you about young man who
came to my farmhouse from the canal. He
had been canal boat driver, and as the canal
had just frozen up, he wanted to do chores
for his board during the winter. James, for
that was his name, was q stalwart, honest
looking fellow, and so took him in. My
own children soon began attending school,
and asked James if he did not want to go
to school with them, but he declined. l soon
noticed that he seemed to be quite despond-
ent, and asked him if he was troubled about
anything, and he then confessed to me that,
although he was nineteen years of age, he
could neither read nor write and he was in
great mental distress because, as he thought,
it was too late for him to begin. l assured
him it was not too late, and urged him to be-
gin at once, which he did, with so much en-
ergy that within year from that time he was
teaching school himself.

Why He Never Wore q Collar.
From the Chicago Standard

From the Chicago Standard.]
1t was fact observed by many that Gov
ernor Briggs for several years before bis death
never wore collar. When he was the hon.
ored Chief Magistrate of Massachusetts, he
appeared at his levees and on all public oc-
casions without collar. There were CON-
paratively few who knew the reason of this.
But the secret is most interesting and sugges-
tive. He had a neighbor, whom he very
highly esteemed, who had fallen into the
habit of using Intoxicating liquor. He was
already the slave of appetite. Gov. Briggs
demonstrated with him. The man replied,
II will never drink again, if you will never
again wear a collar" 'sAgreed," said the
Governor. The man gave up the intoxicating
cup, and the Governor laid aside his collar.
He never wore it again, but he saved his
neighbor. The adverse criticisms to which
this seeming lack of attention to his dress
and personal appearance exposed him never
moved him from his purpose It is an ex-
ample worthy of all commendatiQn.

Curious Inventions.

Some of the monasteries OF Italy and
France will send curious inventions to the
Paris Exposition. A Florentine friar has
constructed watch only "a quarter OF an inch
in diameter. 1t has not only third hand to
mark the second. but microscopic dial which
indicates the days of the week and month
and the proper dates. 1t also contains an
alarm, and on its front cover an ingeniously-
cut figure of St. Francis of Assist. On the
back cover two verses of the ''Te Deum are
distinctly cut. A monastery in brittany,
France. will contribute plain-looking ma
hogany table, with inlaid draughts or chess
hoard on the surface. The inventor sets the
pieces for game of chess, and sits alone at
one side of the board. He plays cautiously,
and the opposite pieces move automatically
and sometimes checkmate him. There is no
mechanism apparent beneath the table top,
which seems to be solid mahogany board.

From the New York Tribune

[From the New York Tribune.]
An explanation of the remarkable speed of
one of the newly discovered moons of Mars
is undoubtedly needed. The trouble with
this satellite is that it goes around its primary
about three times as fast as the latter revolves
on its axis. Unless the circumstance can be
specifically explained, we must bid adieu to
the nebular hypothesis-whichv very few as
tronomers would be quite willing to do at
present. Prof. Doolittle, of the Coast Survey,
has recently urged, as satisfactory explana-
ton, theory to the effect that the little moon
has had its orbit shortened by the impact of
meteorites. But no evidence is brought for
ward to prove that the meteors of the early
ages of the solar system were so strikingly
numerous. If they we're, would they not
have left their mark in the most ancient strata
of our own planet? Possibly, however, this
new theory may strengthen an older one that
latterly has been lost sight of, which explains
the cuplike cavities in the surface of the moon
by supposing that they were made by great
aerolites falling into our satellite while yet it
was of pasty cOnsistence.

An English Bishop ON the Stage.

The stage has, at last, found Bishop to
support it. He is only Colonial Bishop, it
is true, but Melbourne is an important colony,
and prsnaG tacie, the opinion of a Colonial
Bishop is at least as good as that of an Eng
lish Dean. Certain Of the clergy in his do
cese having taken it upon themselves to de-
nounce the stage with an energy and choice
diction worthy of Mrs. Hannah More her
self, the Bishop has, instead of delivering
himself OF an allocution on the subject,
taken the simple course of writing to the
Melbourne papers a long letter, clearly set
ting out his views. ''It is," he says, ''some-
times asked whether St. Paul would have
shown himself at theatre. No, certainly
not at heather theatres, where the perform
ances we're usually connected with heather
worship. But if the question be whether he
would have attended we'll conducted theatre
in Christian land, to witness high-toned

The announcement in this mornings paper
of the death of General Thomas e. Devin
recalls an incident illustrative of his charac-
ter and alike creditable to his energy and pa
triotism. Two or three days after the disas-

ment-General Scott refused to receive them
as cavalry, having no use for that arm of the
service. Fortunately, Governor Morgan ar
