THE late DR.. Selwyn. Bishop of
Litchfeld, was formerly . missionary
bishop in New Zealand, where he did
much hard and beneficial work in
Christianizipg the natives Of that ISL
and. An anecdote shows the good
sense and pleasant wit which distin-
guished him. The scene Is laid at the
church Of ST. Paul. Auckland.
Before the church was consecrated Q
discussion arose as to the allotment of
the seats. A man who had given a
large sum suggested that those who had
given most should have priority of
choice. To the surprise of all, the
bishop seemed to assent, but added, -
"How are we to find that ou.?"
mo difficulty" said the donor, there
is tho subscription list"
VERY true" said the bishop, "but
you know that we have read of o poor
widow who gave only two mites, and
the highest authority tells us that she
gave more than they all.

An Old Timer Gone.

BENZ. Winger, who died at Yreka, January
9th, was resident of this county in 66,
since which time he has principally engaged
in mining in Days Gulch, near where he died.
He was sick but eight days, and kindly min
istered to during his illness, but the best ef-
forts of his attendants proved unavailing. He
was universally liked by all who knew him,
and his death is sincerely mourned by many
warm personal friends. He was brought to
Deer Lodge for burial, and accompanying his
remains were the following gentlemen from
Bear ond Yreka: Jas. Fleming, Alex. Hiland,
G. w. Morse, John Wells, P. Brogan, j. J.

Montana Com pany.

Cole Saunders, Supt of the Montana Com
pany, is in receipt of a letter from President
w. W. Wickes, dated at Paris, January 18th,
1879, saying that he should sail for New
York on Jan. 30th or Feb. 4th, and would
only remain few days in New York to at
tend to business matters before coming to
Montana. MIR. Wickes will have plenty of
funds to place the company out of debt and
in good working shape. An experienced
metallurgist will accompany Mr.. Wickes to
Montana, who will be placed in charge of the
reduction department, and it is confidently ex-
pected that their extensive works will run
continually and with profit to all concerned

Found Dead.

On Monday the Sd inst. an inquest was
held on the body of the late Joseph N Smith,
found dead on the road in Bear canyon, near
this place. The verdict of the jury was that
he died from an unknown cause. 1t seems
that Mr.. Smith was returning up the canyon,
from its mouth to the mill, about 81 miles
distant, and fell on his face about half mile
from the mill, where his body was found on
Sunday. 1t is generally supposed that apop-
lexy was the cause of his death.
Deceased was native of the State of New
York, and has relatives there and in Califor-
MIA. He was about fifty years of age.-Cou-

THE Butte MSner thinks that the HERA1Ds
support of railroad exemption might be more
effective if 1t had not in past years been
equally Jealous in supporting subsidy. Dear!
dear! And this comes from paper the very
existence of which depends from week to
week upon subsidy in one form or another
In berating the HERALD it never stops to
think that this journal has universally carried
with it the strongest popular endorsement on
all railroad questions submitted to the Mon
tana people. Here, now, is question of
exemption amounting to few thousand dol
lars year, which our Butte neighbor op-
poses, not on its merits, it appears, but be-
cause the HERALD favors it. It's unfortun-
ate, but the HERALD can't be Inconsistent,
even to please Mr.. johnson.

Helena Board of Trade.

We have received, with the compliments
of the author, Mr.. r. G. Walker, the report
of the Secretary of the Helena Board of Trade
for the year 1878. The Board has shown it's
usefulness to Montana in the manner in which
it tackled the wood-thlrsty Secretary of the
Interior, during the timber troubles of last
winter it has also welded an influence in
the establishment of the Butte road, in its re-
Communications relative to the Helena Assay
Office, in the collection of subscriptions to aid
the yellow-fever sufferers of the South, and
in other ways has been useful to the Territory
large. The Secretary supplements his work
with neat historical sketch of Montana, her
resources, climate, etc., the whole forming
an interesting pamphlet of thirty-two pages,
neatly printed at the HERALD of1ce-Mss-
s0ulian.

Tre Railroad Tax Exemption Bill Prac-
tically Lost

The bill to exempt railroads from taxation
was reported back to the House this afternoon
with the majority report recommending that
it be considered in Committee of the Whole
and the minority report recommending that
it do not pass. The minority report was
adopted by vote of IA to 10. A motion was
made to suspend the rules and put the bill on
its final passage, which motion was lost, not
receiving a two-third vote. A motion was
then made to make the bill the special order
for Tuesday, the 18th, at 1890, in Committee
of the Whole. This motion was amended to
Thursday, Goth inst, and the amendment was
carried by vote of IA to 10. This postpones
further consideration of the bill until the last
day but one OF the session, and practically
kills it.

Cause and Effect.

The worst snow storm experienced here
for many year is now raging. A somewhat
startling coincidence occurs to US in the fact
that the storm started up in all its fury at 2:43
p. IN. yesterday, at which Identical time the
House, by vote of IA to 12, adopted the mi
nority report of the Committee on Internal
Improvements on H. B. 31,-which bill ex-
empted from taxation railroads constructed
in the Territory within the next two years.
Said minority report recommending that the
bill do not pass. Following are the ayes and
nays upon the motion to adopt the minority
report: Ayes-Beach, Boyer, Edwards,
Forbis, Hamilton, Harrington, Marion, Nc
Elroy, Noyes, Perkins, Robinson, Sweeney,
Thorp, Wilson-14. Nays-Barbour, Board
man, Brooke, Combs, Cornick. Fergus, Nc
Cormick, Mood, Sanders, Steel, Stuart and
Mr.. Speaker.-12.
The Overland, Bozeman, and Diamond
mails did not arrive last night, and if the
storm continues much longer all routes will
be effectually blockaded. A few days, even,
of such weather will kill off thousands of
sheep and cattle, and only blue beef and tough
mutton will be ours for the next three months.
While it may be rather far-fetched to charge
to this action of the House all the dire CAL
antilles now existing and occurring, neverthe-
less the connection in this instance between
cause and effect is so plain that q reconsider
alton of the vote seems to US imperative!
