An accident occurred at the Trout mine,
Hungry Hollow, to a man named Middleton,
one day this week. He was preparing to send
some material dOwnt the shaft, when it slipped
off the surface before he got hold of the wind
lass, which flew around, striking him under
the chin and cutting a frigLtful cash in his
neck. The hemorrhage was so profuse and
prolonged that for a time it was feared he
would bleed to death. After several hours,
however, it was stopped, and the injured man
although still very weak from the loss of
blood, is rapidly recovering.
On Saturday last, Mr.. o. d. French, of this
city, sent to Hon. r. O. Hickman, at Helena,
five potatoes, weighing fifteen pounds ard five
ounces. lhe largest one weighs four and
o~ne-llalf pounds, and the smallest two pounds.
They were raised ON the farm of Ely Spray,
at the mouth of Aluer eulch, and in the same
hill from which these were dug were thirty
two other potatoes, sixteen of the largest of
which weighed thirty-one pounds. They
were a part of the yield of three potatoes,
which were brought from Missouri last spring,
and from which Mr.. Spray has obtained the
enormous yield of three hundred and forty
five pounds. The potatoes were raised with
out irrigation and with very little attention,
and Ell is now mad TO think what they
might have been if he had cared for them
properly. They were sent for exhibition at
the Territorial Fair.

How Old is Glass?

The Oldest specimen of pure glass, bearing
any thing like a date, is a little moulded lions
head, bearing the name OF an Egyptian king
of the eleventh dynasty, in the Slade collec-
ton at the British Museum. That is to say.
at a period which may be moderately placed
as more than 2O0O years d. G., glass was not
only made, but made with skill which shows
that the art was nothing new. The invention
of glazing pottery with a film or varnish of
glass is so old that among the fragments which
bear inscriptions of the early Egyption mon
archy are heads, possibly of the first dynasty.
Of later glass there are numerous examples,
such as a head found at Thebes, which has
the name Of Queen Hatasoo or Hashep, of
the eighteenth dynasty. OF the same period,
are vases and goblets and many fragments.
1t can not be doubted that the s, ory preserved
by Pliny, which assigns the credit of the in
vention to the Phpnicians, is so far true that
these adventurous merchants brought speci-
mems to other countries from Egypt. Dr..
Schliemann found disks of glass in the eXca-
vations at MycenR, though Homer does not
mention it as a substance known to him.
That the modern art of the slass-blower was
known long before is certain from represen-
tations among the pictures OH the walls of a
tomb at Benz Hassan, oftlle twelfth Egyptian
dynasty but a much older picture, which
probably lepresen ted the same manufacture,
is among the halt-obliterate ed scenes in a cham
Der of the tomb of Thy, at Sakkara, and dates
from the time Of the fifth dynasty, a time so
remote that it is not possible. IN spite of the
assiduous researches of many Egyptologers,
to give it a date in years.

BUY A RIFLE.

If people collectively ever took lessons
from experience the citizens of Colorado
should learn something from the ordeal
through which they are now passing. But
the warning voice of experience Is needed by
the individual only, not by the community.
The Montanian whose isolated home had
been threatened by a band of cut-throats
would not rest until he had literally provided
himself with arms to guard against a repeti-
ton of such outrage; but how much were
Montanians, as a class, benefited by the very
unpleasant experience of ~, when the whole
community found themselves almost destitute
of arms, while confronted by Joseph and his
well equipped savages. So with Col
orado to-day. What can be more
humiliating, more ridiculous, even,
than the report so frequently repeated,
'splenty of men but no arms. no ammunition"
while in the next paragraph we are told that
the crack of the Winchester and Sharp rifles
from the Indian encampnent formed almost
one continuous death roll sounding in the
ears of our brave troops. What can be more
oooui tAhhh ~ i"Sh MAJ u paitNI Il DiCCCH
| clouted sayages should be provided with
the most approved patterns of fire arms
while the highly civilized whites should
be found helplessly calling to the Gov

The lesson will have no effect upon the mass
es. With the Utes once suppressed no step
towards a general armament will be taken
no attempt will be made to ann and
drill military companies to be kept in
constant readiness against the appearance
of a like danger. But the lesson wasted Oh
the community should be takento heart by the
individual. The right to bear rms guaranteed
by the Constitution should be looked upon
as something more than a right; as aduty which
every citizen should carefully fulfill. With no
standing army this should in reality as in
theory be a nation of soldiers. Every man
should own a gun. Not only that, but he
should know how to use it. and use it we'll.
More especially should this obligation be rec
ognized in the mountains, on the frontier,
where all Indian raid is liable at any time to
bring business to a standstill, and throw so.
ciety into confusion. What sort of a stand
would the early New E~nglanders have made
against the Iroquois fthey had been as chary
as are We of our gunpowder; and how much
safer is the Montana stock raiser than the
average Colonist used to be? Buy a gun, a
good one. Learn to use If well; and
make it part of the education Of your boys,
if you have any, to learn how to use, and
