The Republicans of Indiana have needed

near losing the State for Garfield by their

A rather good story comes from an ndi.

tardy one. The Democrats Of the village
shared the confidence of their distinguished
statesman, William H English, and were
absolutely sure Of the perfect triumph Of the
Democratic ticket. On the night of the
election they placed a loaded cannon on the
town square and patiently awaited the news.

INCORPORATION OF TOWNS AM
CITIES.

In anticipation Of the establishment and
rapid growth Of towns in Montana within tho
next two years and the great difficulties Id
the way Of government and good order
where there is no town or city government
established, would 1t not be well for the
Twelfth Legislature to pass . general charter
or incorporation act under which such gov
eraments may. be organized? In some States
this has been done andthe system works
admirably, There are three grades Of incor-
poration-city, town and village-each with
powers conferred adapted 70 the grade, the
officers and their duties end compensation
defined and limitation placed on their debts
and taxes. In Montana II has been customs
ry TO consider and oct upon the, application
Of each town separately. This, Is useless,
/ and valuable time elapses before Il can, be
secured. With the advent 81, railroads, the
necessity for town interpretations will be-
come evident. The repression OF lawless-

nations, demand that tho people OF unincor-

AN ANOMALOUS ANIMAL.

DR.. Carl Rath writes that among the
rocks at ST. Amaro, on the coast of st.
Paulo, there is an anomalous animal, be-
tween the ray and the shark, which lives
upon the echinidans. With its hard bony
peak, it attacks these sea urchins, which,
in defense, move about rapidly and present
their spines, but these the urchin-eater de-
stroys until its prey remains disarmed.
Then, fastening itself in a crevice of the
rocks by means Of two strong fins, which
are further strengthened by two bones
from the upper part of the body, it is en-
abled to resist the shock of waves, and
leisurely eat out the urchins. In place of
gills it has two holes at the beginning of
the tail, communicating with the fattened
mouth. The head narrows toward the
beak, and the nostrils lie nearly over the
mouth. There are two weak fins. on the
belly fastened only to the skin, and two
others run along the tail, one above and
the other beneath. The back is studded
with warts with small spines. The eyes
are covered with kind of cornea and lie
on the sides of the beak. The length of

to hear the trial. He who had suggested
the arrest and the trial was forward in the

The Place of Woman.

One of the principle features of the Mid
die Ages is the recognition of the fact that
Christianity assigned TO woman new place
in the social order Of the world, very differ
ent from what it had been before. The
deep respect accorded by that epoch to wo-
man could not but exercise most powerful
and beneficial influence on humanity: for
when man, confident in his physical force.
reigns alone, we can never expect to see
real human culture develop itself. There
now arose new kind of worship of the
Beautiful, and of female beauty in particu-
lar, and that in higher and more refined
sense than had been the case with the nom
Christian world. The Greeks, the Romans.
and the Arabians, had bestowed praise ON
woman, as necessary to their happiness, but
they treated her only as an inferior, and
even as a slave. The Christian world set
before itself a new ideal What man now
strives for is, that the lady whose affections
he endeavors to win should recognize his
personal worth; that she should prefer him
to other suitOrs; that she should love him
because she honors and esteems him. Such
demand is based upon thesupposition that
mali considers woman as his equal; nav.
that he looks up to her as a superior being:
The endeayor he makes to deserve the favor
IF her he loves, and to become worthy of
ner, reacts on his own conduct. Love raises
him above all that is common and vulgar:
it becomes with him the handspring of
every noble action; he can henceforth nef-
Their do or say anything of which he would
feel ashamed before her. The Teutonic ma
tons especially seized the full Specification
of this lofty conception of woman and of
her place in life; with them love was moth
ing but the spontaneous homage of strength
to beauty they introduced new social
aSages and more elevated system of ethics
among the inhabitants of Southern Europe,
nd at the same time communicated to them
rat reverential respect which raises woman
rough naturally weak above the common
vel Of humanity.

WONDERS. OF THE THAMES.


Eleven bridges cross the famous river
Thames, and over them 60 more people in
year than across any bridges in the world.
They are fine specimens of architecture,
made either of stone or iron, and some of
them cost huge sums of money. Beneath
all these bridges is a constant stream of
boats plying upon the water. They go and
come, up and down stream, and across in
every direction, and in such.numbers and
confusion that the stranger cannot see how
they escape running into and over one anoth-
er And such noise as the stream whistles
and the oarsmen and those connected with
the boats keep up! 1t is positively deafen-
ing. In addition to all these bridges and
boats, there is another mode of crossing the
Thames It's the tunnel, two miles below
London bridge. This stupendous work ex-
tends beneath the bed of the river, and con-
meets Mapping on the left bank with Red
riff on the right. 1t consists of two arched
passages, one thousand two hundred feet
long, fourteen feet wide, and sixteen feet
high, all below the bed of the river. Who
ever walks or rides through the tunnel goes
under the river Thames, with ships and
fishes swimming over their heads.
