The news gatherer for the st. Peter
I riJune is up to snuff, and allows
nothing that is of benefit to his readers
to escape. as tho following per-
sSnal shows:
Last week a nan giving his name as
Patrick Duffy went to clerk Rogers and
asked for Il marriage license, for
woman whose name he gave as Mary
Mccarthy. Patrick stated that he was
ON his way to Dakota, and that he had
Ovcrtaken this woman and her brothers,
with whom he had been travelling. He
was going to Dakota, and sure he would
be the better of a wife, especially as
the woman was on her way there too.
After the marriage license was issued,
Mary appeared not to be in a hurry
about getting married. She must have
II new dress and a gold ring before the
ceremony could be performed. "Come
now. Mary" says Pat "let's be afther
getting married, then I'll go and get
some beer and the best whiskey to be
had in the place, and sur'S IT'S ourselves
that'll be after having Il splendid time"
Mary still declined-she must go to
MankatO where she had u fine dress to
put on, and Mr.. Duffy must get her a
gold ring, but while they were ~wrangling
Marshal McOuat came along and rec
ognized Mary as none other than "old
Mother Duffy" whom he had frequently
placed in the lookup. When Mary
found she was recognized she was
| willing to marry without further ado.
She did not wait for a gold ring nor a
new dress, but went with Patrick
s~traightway to Justice ~Mos3a 0mery's
| office, where they were made ut
promised the Justice q drink OfsyoAcc1-
lent whiskey az soon us the ceremonies
were over, provided he dfd a good job.
| We understand that not one OF the men
present offered to salute the bride, not
even tho Justice, who is sworn to do
his duty. After the wedding the happy
couple started OH their way to Dakota.
They were well steamed up aad hilari-
GUS. Mary has a husband in the hospi-
tai ut this place, but if she will only re-
main in Dakota, the public will forgive
hor for being too much married.

The last legislature passed an act in regard
to firing grass or timber that should be heed
ed by eYerv person in the territory. There
are, we think, but few persons who would
wantonly or designedly set fire to any wood
timber or grass, but there are many who are
not careful to e%xtinguish their camp fires
wien leaving the same. The season is fast
with our persevering prospectors, and a word
Of caution now, if attended to, may possibly
save some Of them much trouble and annoy
ance in the future. The law reads as follows :
"Any person who shall set fire to any tim
Der, woodland or grass, except for useful or
necessary purposes, or who shall at any time
make a camp fire, or shall light any fire, for
any purposes whatever, without taking Sutfl-
cient steps to secure the same from spreading
from the immediate space where the same
put out or extinguisl. said fire before leav.
ing the same, shall " deemed guilty of felony
and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined
in any sum not exceeding one thousand dol
lars, or imprisonment in the territorial prison
not less than one or more than three years,
or both such fine and Imprisonment, and
shall be liable tor all damages resulting from
such act"
Persons who wantonly or designedly set
fire to any timber, wood or grass shall be
deemed guilty of a felony and, upon convic-
ton thereof shall be fined in a sum not less
than Ole hundred or more than two thou
sand dollars, or be imprisoned in the terrific
rial prison not less than two years nor more
than seven years. Persons who shall furn-
ish the information necessary to convict par
ties who violate the above provisions shall re-
ceive one-half the fine collected-the other
half shall be paid into the school fund.
The last section of The law makes it the
duty of the county commissioners of each
county in the territory to have printed annu-
ally on canvass or upon som other durable
substance, at least fifty copies of a notice set
ting forth briefly, the offenses mentioned in
the act, and the penalties therein prescribed,
which notices they shall cause to be consplc-
uously posted along the highways of their re-
spective counties.

When Conkling becomes overheated in the
contest we would not be surprised to hear
him proclaim to the world the secrets of that
compact which he, Logan, Grant and Gamer
on entered into at Mentor, which compact
brought Grant from the shades of his retire

that he was endeavoring to assuage at the
watering places in Virginia, smoothed the

more, and that is that Conkling will insist
that the terms Of the compact entered into
shall be observed. Until this nomination
they have been. but Garfield evidently has

to run his administration himself. The growl

rAcrs FROM THE CENSUS.

1t is an old saying ''that we must go away
from home to learn the news" The New
York Evening Mail, in a long editorial in re
gard to the disparity in number of the sexes
as developed by the last census, says that the
greatest disparity exists in Montana where
there are only 3S,953 females to 100, 900 males.
Although the Mail man made a slight mistake
in the above statement, the article in the
main is reliable and interesting. The follow
ing facts are taken from it Arizona has 43
per cent. OF females; Wyoming Al, and Idaho
49a. The District of Columbia contains a
little over $4,000 more females than males.
which fact is accounted for by the great nun
bers employed in the several government de.
partments. Massachusetts, Connecticut and
Rhode Island each have over 100000 more
females than males. New York has 1900
more. In the Al states and territories, not
counting Alaska, males are in excess in 30
and females in II. Tennessee, Alabama and
Louisiana contain an excess of females, but as
we approach the western states and territories
the male element largely predominates. This
is owing to the fact that the mining and other
interests that are being developed call more
for male than female assistance. The census
also proves that the west has made large
drafts on the males in some of the New
England states and in New York. Of the
whole population in 1880, 25,52O,5S2 are
males, and "a, 1892 s4 are females. Excess
of males, SS,29S, or a little over one-tenth of
one per cent,

resolutions unanimously:
ResOlUed, That the democratic county con-
vention shall meet at Loeber's hall, Butte
city, on Thursday, March 31st, A. D. 1881, at
IL M, for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for the several county offices for Silver
Bow county.

shall be elected at the same time and place,
and in the same manner as the delegates, and
that no proxies shall be allowed.
Resotced, That all democrats are requested
to meet at their respective precincts and vote
for delegates and their alte rnates on the day
set therefor, and that the judges of such
primary elections are hereby instructed to
allow none but democrats to vote at said
elections.

WHITE-HOUSE ETIQUETTE.

"By the time I had done breakfast" Gen
Washington wrote, "and thence till dinner,
and afterward till bedtime, 1 could not get
rid Of the ceremony of one visitor before ]
had to attend to another. In a word, I had
no time to read or to answer the dispatches
that were pouring in upon me from all quar-
ters."
Unfortunately, the three gentlemen who
stood nearest the President at this time were
all disposed to carry the etiquette of the
Presidents house to an extreme that seemed
to the people to SAVIOR of royalty.
Vice President Adams-just home from
the British court-thought the President
would be defended against intruders by a
system of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and aides-de-camp.
Col. Hamilton, who was an enthusiast for
monarchy, and Gen. Knox, a soldier-both
members of the Presidents cabinet-were
inclined to go as far in that direction as they
could without shocking the people.
The consequence was, that, while the
President was protected from the intrusion
of incessant callers and merciless hand-shak-
ings, some appearances Of monarchial et:-
quette were admitted.
The people of that day hated monarchy
and despised its forms. They feared above
all things a lapse of our Government into
monarchy. They had had, during the revo-
lutiona,y period of seventeen years-counting
from the Stamp act of 1765-a bitter expert
ence of the practical workings of monarchy.
They wanted no more of it.
Hence, when Mr.. Jefferson, on coming to
the Presidency in 1901, swept away every
usage that had in it the smallest resemb-
lance to the etiquette of royalty, he keenly
gratitied the mass of the people.
Nor did he suffer much inconvenience
from it; for the city of Washington was then
a morass with a meager number of houses;
containing very few inhabitants ~unconnected
with the Government. Members of Congress,
indeed, ate the President out of house and
home; but even Hamilton thought that
members of Congress ought to have access to
the President.
Times have changed. Washington IS a
city of 100000 inhabitants; and thousal. of
can getthere in a few hours af they
to do so. Something ought to be lone
to keep a President from being mercilessly
destroyed by an overwhelming torrent OF
and cruel hand-shakers.
The republic has outgrown its childhood.
The people are ready to sanction any new
code of etiquette that bears upon it the
stamp of justice and sound sense. They re-
gard the President as the servant of the
whole peOple-5O,000,0 900 in number-and
not merely of those who happen to find
in the city Of Washington.
lfthey could give expression to their view
OF the matter, we are sure a majority Of them
would suggest at least two rules Of conduct
for the incoming President:
l. See a few or no applicants for office.
