fore the hour fixed upon the hall was fairly
filed with Union members and their friends,
and punctually at two o'clock the assemblage
was called to order by the President of the
Union, Mr.. A. C. Witter, who proceeded in
a few appropriate words to introduce Mr..
James Taafe, Marshal elect of the day.
Upon taking the floor Mr.. Taafe thanked his
brother members sincerely for the honor
conferred upon him in being selected to serve
as Marshal and then proceeded to give direc-
ions as to the order in which the procession
was to be formed, the line Of march, etc.
From this subject he turned to one which, to
judge from a very noticeable increase Of elo-
quence in discussing it, must have appealed
much more strongly to the speakers feelings
must in fact, have touched his heart as the say
ing is-and this was a speech accompanying
the presentation OH behalf of the Union of a
testimonial Of the respectful regard enter
tanned by the Union members for their Pres
idsnt. In a address of some length Mr..
Taaffe dwelt feelingly upon the zeal and
services of Mr.. Witter, saying that it was to
him alone that the Union owed its organiza-
ton and subsequently its preservation during
the storms besetting the first months of its
existence. His remarks were listened to
with breathless attention interrupted only by
occasional rounds Of applause, as when The
speaker compared the organization Of the
Union to the launching on a stormy sea of q
frail craft which had been saved from ship
wreck only through the skill Of the faithful
captain seated by his side and the bravery OF
the devoted crew before him. The Marshal
then spoke Of the present described the
numbers, strength and influence of the
Union; complimented the members upon
their fine appearance and orderly behavior
and in so doing adverted to what is an I'm.
questionable fact, that no enemy of the Unior
can point to a single act of lawlessness com
mitted at its instigation during the critica
first year of its existence. In conclusion he
exhorted his brother members to maintain
perfect order to let no one say that the eel
ebration had been the occasion of the slight
est disturbance. He then placed in Mr.
Writer'S hands the costly gift of the Union
aud with renewed thanks for the honor con-
ferred in his selection for this pleasant duty
a duty of which he acquitted himself very
creditably, Mr.. Taatie gave way to Mr.. Witter

Good lime having been procured for the
Methodist Church the pla<tsring is now being

only to this extent in saying that funds
enough had been proved to finish the work ;
that funds enough have been subscribed to
complete the work thus far undertaken, but
not paid IN. The church is to be completed
sufficiently to enable the conference of the

able that all subscribers shouid make good

The First Settlers.

Last weekin working his hydraulic claim in
Missoula gulch, a short distance from tile
Dexter mill, Mr.. A. w. Barnard found UNI
mistakable traces Of the occupancy of the
gulch by industrious workers, long before the
present race of MonJanians came upon the
scene. The gulch is about fifteen feet in
depth from the surface of the ground to bed
rock. Lately as the ground sluice was being
driven ahead of the tiume, it cut through a
bed Of black loan ten feet under the over
lying gravel, and having still another stratum
of gravel between it and theb bed rock. This
loan attracted attention from its singular sit
~uation, but the sluica race was driven ahead
only a little further before a dense growth of
stumps was brought to light, remaining In
position in the loan where the trees had evil
IDENTIFY grown. Most of the stumps showed
where the trees had been broken off in the
rush of the everything gravel, but quite a
number revealed the neat wood carving of
ther up stream were the remains of an old
beaver dam, the branches and roots yet re-
manning in position where the sagacious dam
builders had placed them, perhaps ages ago.
The submerged loam is covered by about
seven feet of gravel, and that again by an up
per layer of loan, the product of slow
growth. What renders the development still
more worthy of notice is the fact tha. Mis-
soula gulch is now a dry creek channel, ex-
cept in early sping, while it must have carried
plenty Of water when the beavers made their
home etween its banks. Besides this, there
are no trees at present growing or the sur
face anywhere near the locality. The near
est timber, fully two miles distant, is scrubby
mountain pine. whereas the stumps I'M
earthed are cottonwood, a tree not at present
found anywhere in this neighborhood. The
finding of teeth, bones, p~etrified wood, etc.,
on the bedrock of even our deepest gold
bearing gulches proves that Montana has ex-
perienced great changes within a very recent
epoch. .....

And she does not know you now.

DoN'T BoYs.-Dont be impatient, no
matter if things do go wrong sometimes.
Don't give the ball kick and send it
into mud-puddle, because it would not
go straight where you threw it. Do not
send the marble against the fence, and
thus break your best alley, because your
clumsy fingers could not hit the center.
Do not break your kite string all to
pieces because it will not come down
from the tree at the first jerk. It will
take you three times as long to get it
down afterward Do not give your
little brother an angry push and sharp
word if he cannot see into the mysteries
of marble playing or hoop ROLLING at the
first lesson. You were once as stupid as
he is, although you have forgotten it.
What in the world would become of you
if your mother had no more patience
than you? If, every time you come near
her when she was busy she thrust you off
with cross word? Dear, kind, loving
mother, who never ceases to think Of
you, to care for you, who keeps you SO
nicely clothed, and makes such nice
things for you to eat. What if she were
SO impatient that you would be half the
time afraid to speak to her, to tell her of
your own troubles at school or at play?
All, do not grieve your mother by your
impatience and your crossness.

ANNE BoIEYN AND HENRY WILL
wrote lately to your Majesty that if the
lady (Anne) could only be kept away
from Court for little while the Queen
might still regain her influence over the
King, for she does not seem to bear any
ill-will toward her. Quite lately he sent
her some cloth, begging her to have it
made into shirts for him. The lady,
hearing of this, sent for the person who
had taken the cloth-one of the principal
gentlemen of the bed-chamber- al
though the King himself confessed that
the cloth had been taken to the Queen by
his order, she abused the bearer in the
Kings presence, threatening that she
would have him punished, severely. In
deed, there is talk, as am told, of dis
missing, to please the lady, some of the
officers of the royal household, and if so,
the said gentlemen will not be the last,
for some time back, the wife of the young
Marquis (of Dorset) and two other
ladies', most devoted to the queen, and in
whom she found more comfort and con-
ISOLATION than in any others, were at her
request dismissed from Court and sent
home Simancas Archives.

Yon, meath the mill, I sat one day
In peaceful revery sunk profound,
And watched the waters rush away,
And marked the cumbrous wheel go round.
The saws sprang flashing on my view
1t all appeared dreamy maze
They fercely tore long channels through
A dr trunk prone upon the ways.
The tree seemed conscious of its pain;
And, as the rending steel progressed,
Tins mOaned to me It's mournful strain,
While quivering throes convulsed its breast
"At fitting hour vast thou inclined,
o wanderer hfther to repair;
Thou art the fated one unkind
For whom these teeth my bosom tear.
I" IT'S thou, O HOPELESS one, for whom
A ehrine from me mans hand shall make,
Wherein, dark cha N bered in thy tomb,
Thy lasting slumber thou shalt take"
Then dropped four planksI saw and heard;
My heart with sudden fear grew chilli;
sought to frame an answering word

GENEROUS FEEDING PAYs.-Creamery
butter has gone to 80 cents per pound.
Cheese has jumped to 1917 cents per
pound. The reason undoubtedly is the
continued draught, which has kept
pastures as bare and sere almost as in
winter. Good dairymen commenced
feeding in season, and thus kept their
their stock up to tolerable flow of milk,
what was lost in quantity being made up
quality. That the grain fed made the
milk rich in the constituents that go to
to make up butter and cheese. Those
who have neglected to feed will suffer,
for, once cow shrinks in her milk from
lack of feed and water, it is impossible
thereafter to bring her back to full
flow. Those who have suffered most are
those who do not believe there is any
good in agricultural papers, and those
who read them specifically. The good
dairyman never allows his stock to suffer
even during the summer for want OF
food. The stock-breeder who keeps pace
with improved agriculture never allows
his stock to cease growing from the time
it is fit for market until ready for the
butcher. The progressive farmer never
loses crop for want of feeding to the
soil. How to do all these in the most
each must solve for himself according to
the special requirements in the case.
There is one point in dairy-farming not
generally considered, and that is that the
farm should be getting richer every year.
The products are hay, grass and corn,
fed on the farm, and the products sold
are simply the condensed product in the
shape of butter and cheese, and the hogs
fed upon the buttermilk and whey
while the manure made may be applied
to the land to keep up its fertility. Thus
when necessity requires, maximum crops
of grain may be raised at a maximum
cost Thus, although the dairyman may
think he is getting light profits land
that they have been light for the last
last two years is acknowledged every
thing now points to good prices the com.
ing winter. 1t is true, only those will
reap the benefit of this who keep well
posted as to the ways and means, through
the reading of carefully edited agricul
tural papers. and their own correct
| Judgment founded thereon. It must, o.
course, be satisfactory to those who have
not done this that have nobody to blame
but themselves.

OLD MUSICAL SoALEs.-The important
part played by mnsic in the worship of
Jehovah, and the development of the
Jewish choral service, is sufficiently
proved by the Old Testament; and there
Is an abundance of treatises, both
ancient and modern, on Greek scales or
modes. But all this is of comparatively
little importance to the musician and the
student of modern music. It is true
that some of the Greek scales-the
Dorian, the Phrygian, the Lydian and
the Mixo-Lyd ydian-are said to be identical
with the four authentic modes attributed
to st. Ambrose, and to be still surviving
in the Gregorian chant, and on rare oc-
casions modern musicians have made use
of them. Beethoven, for instance, heads
a movement in his great quartet in A
minor, "canzona di ringraziamento in
modo lidico offerta ALA privinita da un
guarito," and Liszt and Rubenstein have
borrowed the augmented intervals of the
old Eastern scales, which have survived
in the music of the gypsies and of some
Salvonic nations. The gypsy heroine of
Bizet's Carmen also is well characterized
by theme containing the superhuous
second. But these few survivals, intro
duced with the distinct purpose of gain
ing local color, do not constitute real
organic connection between the ancient
and modern systems. Quarterly
