A short time since an item went the
rounds of the press to the effect that w.
j. Chappelle, a show agent, who,
eighteen years ago, befriended young
Irish girl, had received $500 from the
girl, who it seems had married a
wealthy Californian. The item went on
to say that the money was sent to pay
Chappelle's expenses to California only,
and the inference was that he would be
made a rich man by the grateful Irish
girl of years past. People who read the
item with tinge of envy toward Chap
pelle and regret that they had allowed
number of golden opportunities to cast
bread upon the waters to pass by un-
needed. thinking perhaps il they had
been a little more liberal they might
now be reaping their reward-people of
this sort will no doubt be pleased to
learn that the whole affair was a grand
hoax played upon the Snowman. He
thinks Wambold, the New York min
strel, is at the bottom of it.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1880-03-03

The Kentucky house of representa-
tives has passed bill to punish theft by
male with corporal punishment by
stripes, not exceeding thirty-nine, or by
imprisonment, in the discretion of the
jury. The american ISrGeIite, in notic-
ing this act OF the Kentucky house, gives
the origin of the thirty-nine, or forty
less one, lashes. 1t says: The thirty
nine lashes are taken from the Raboni-
cal code, which modified the forty lashes
in the law of Moses to thirty-nine, be-
cause he who received that punishment
is called in Scripture Rasha, "a wicked
man, and the rabbis legislated that
none in Israel should be branded as a
Rasha for the commission of one crime
of that category; therefore, they would
not infliet the full punishment of the
law on any culprit, and changed the
forty lashes to thirty-nine." Theft un-
der the Mosaic law was not punished
by stripes; a fine, or loss of liberty until
the fine was paid by the culprit's labor,
was the punishment for theft according g
to Moses. ----

heard OF the Alice developments the stock
is very low at 50 so per share, and it will
be many years before it touches that figure

CATTLE FROM MONTANA.

A Result of Careful Breeding.
Drovers' journal, Chicago, Feb 8.
One OF the examples of western trade
durinl. the past season that shows the good
result of the practical introduction Of thor
oughbred stock was the sale of one thou
sand head of cattle by Con Kohrs, of Deer
Lodge, Montana, at Omaha, Neb. last sum
mer. The cattle were pronounced by all
who saw them to be the best shaped and
best bred lot of cattle from that direction
last season, bringing the best market price.
Casual mention was made of them at the
time, but through the kindness of one of
our commission men, who is very earnest
and enthusiastic on the subject of western
cattle raising. we are enabled to lay before
our readers the facts of their breeding,
which is simply that in most part they are
the direct result of the systematic introduce
tisn of thoroughbred shorthorn blood ,
bringing up to high grade standard the
blood of the western cattle. Mr.. Kohrs is
well known as the cattle king of Montana,
but unlike any other owning as large a
number of range cattle, he can boast Of the
largest and best herd of shorthorns west IF
the mountains. His purchase to any con-
siderable extent was made in Kentucky as
early as 1871, buying in that year about
100 head and nearly all pedlgreed animals
in bis selection with one or two exceptions.
On that occasion he took young cattle,
mostly heifers This was done to save cost
of transportation, which, from where they
we're shipped to where they were unloaded,
the cost was about 5000 per Car, after which
they were driven four or five hundred
miles. and to use the language of MIR.
Kohts, aud once expressed to Drocers'
Journal representative, he 'scould not af-
ford to buy anything but the very best,
which an examination If his herd catalogue
will attest. It shows many very valuable
and fancy strains, including descendants OF
"Lady Mott" Since the above mentioned
purchase he has annually added to his
thoroughbreds, Last year, 1t will be re-
mem bered, be was the foremost Of western
bidders at our thoroughbred shorthorn
sales, aud purchased and shipped about "
head OF young cattle, including IA head Of
Clydes iaes, among which wero thorough
bred horses and mares, these being the first
of this kind ever taken to that Territory
With such show OF enterprise IL Ii easy Ia
comprehend how Mr.. Kohrs brings the best
cattle to this market from the far West.
The above is slightly inaccurate in the
number of Mr.. Kohrs' purchase in 1s71--ht
importing only about so head that season
Nor does it quite give Montana the credit
she is entitled to. The one thousand head
referred to were pronounced at Omaha moi
only the best lot of cattle coming from the
west last season, but the best lot of cattle
evsr shipped east over the Union Pacific
road, which has carried over SOC, 900 head
Montana therefore wears the medal for pro
ducing the best grass fed cattle on the CONT
nent Mr.. Kchrs will this season offel
| cattle growers an opportunity to grade
MP their bands at reasonable figures. HI
has several hundred head of choice animal
to sell.

HALF INCLINED TO LAUGH.
THE PRONUNCIATION POEM IN THE NE"
NORTHWEST.

Was it intended as a sharp piece OF sar-
casm, or submitted to rank MS one oil the
didactics of our language? In either case
it serves good end and stirs people up 10
the study of English, and particularly the
several sounds of A and their proper uses.
The wonder is that Americans have been so
slow to eliminate provincialisms and ac-
quire and establish uniformity in the use OF
language, since our textbook spoilers make
q speciality of pronunciation in first lessons
and that We have but two orthoepicai au-
thorities, W ebster and Worcester, they agree
ing in the pronunciation Of nearly all the
common words of the language. An easy
method Of acquiring the vowel sound TO DO
used in words, the correct pronunciation OF
which was not learned at the fireside, is TO
form key of words the elementary SOUND
of one TO be- correct aud familiar as follows:
Gate, patron; hat, Arab; far, laugh ask,
dance; all, saucy; chair, scarce; wan, what.
But to acquire correct orthoepical express
sion, respectful attention must be given to
all the oral elements. And this calls to
mind recent criticism on the American
use of language by the lawyer. editor, au-
thor, critic, and scholar, Richard Grant
White. He says politicians, lawyers and d.
vines are daily trying to convince the world
of something in execrable English. de
cites the case of an educated English so;i-
ETY. man who admired the grace, b5auty,
and style Of our American women and COW
eted their money, but so soon AZ they opened
their mouths and began to guess instead Of
think, to pronounce duke, dock; tune,
toon; duty, dooty; institution, ins titoOsion;
countrymen, countrymun orator, oratur;
and to say, Yes, sir; fes, mann; and No,
sir, forms Of expressions only used by Eng
lish servants to their employers, the charm
ing illusion was aispelled. White recon-
mends the creation of professor of Con-
versation," but until such chairs shall be
added to our institutions of leaning, our
common school teachers can perform no.
BILE work by teaching the only correct meth
DDS of pronunciation, accentuation and ex-
preston, and thus assist in redeeming our
English from It's present conglomeration Of
proyincialisms and in giving 1t the real dig
nifty of a language to be spoken alike by the
educated of all countries.

LONG DISTANCE RIDING.
A Match Race at Butte May lst-Probably an
Exhibition Race in Deer Lodge.

W. V. Smith, who made the long distance
ride at the Territorial Fair last fall, and
George Booth q somewhat celebrated horse
man at Butte, have made 80 mile race to
be run at Butte May lst for $500 side.
Each rider is TO change horses each and
every mile, and "the man who gets there
first takes the morey." II is probable each
will use ten horses. Booth is from Salt
Lake and is, we believe, a blacksmith by
trade.
Smith is at present in Deer Lodge. He
Is a native Of Galena, Ills; is 35 years old.
His father was a hotel-keeper at Mayfield,
Santa Clara county. Cal. Young Smith
rode his first race---50 mies-agaInst 2:i0
time, at Petaluma, Cal, Sept. 10. 1866. he
won In 2:04t. Since then he has ridden
about 200 races and has never been beaten.
His best so mile race was at Chico, Cal, +,
June 8, 1873. when he rode for the free for
all purse Of $1,000 with four starters aud
won 10 br. So min. and 30 sec. This time
has never been equalIed.
At Grass Valley, Cal, June 0, 1875. he
went 30 miles against hr. min .-time and
won IN hr. 3 min. "a sec.
At Los Angeles, CAL, July 81, 1875, he
rode 100 miles against @ hrs. 80 min.-time
and won IN hrs. 43 min. 10 Sec, using 81
hoses.
His longest ride was on the Bay District
Course, CAL, in June, 1874, when he rode {
300 mile race for an association purse o
$4,000 or no money against IA hrs. Is min.
time, winning IN ID hrs. min. In thi'
run he used 20 horses.
Mr.. Smith ordinarily weighs 139 pounds
but trains down to about 100 pounds. III
informs us bis changes from one horse u
another occupies on an average about ~
seconds. lie does not use the stirrups il
mounting or dismounting and will leave
horse, il nect ssary at the changing point
while going IS mile al hour. Visitors a
the Fair last fall will remember his throw
ing himself from horse that was rubbing
him against the fence on the last mile, run
ming to another and winning the rae
against time when his defeat seemed inevi
table.
1t is proposed to offer Mr.. Smith induce
ments to give an exhibition race her
against time on Saturday, April 18th. II
the event the project is perfected it will b
free exhibition for citizens purs
against time and will enliven up the frs
Saturday afternoon of Court week.
