The recklessness with which some rural
Americans, when sick, swallow anything
that any one sees fit to recommend as like
ly to benefit them, has been illustrated
afresh by three grown Yankees Of the farm

in the State Of Massachusetts,; They were
sick; neighboring ruralist brought them
some stuff in bottle, which he said he had
found under fence. and had used with
gratifying results; they dosed themselves
with 1t on this recommendation; the stuff
turned out to be horse liniment; one of the
men is in a very bad way, and all three have

Letter from Ottawa (Canada)
| The early return Of the Princess Louise
to Canada is announced, her royal highness
being expected here about the beginning Of
May. There can be no doubt that the lady
! absented herself from the capitol during
the session in order to escape contact
with the vulgar toadies who have stared at
her and logged her ever since her arrival
in Canada. She was once called upon to
entertain company of Doors who would
have disgraced dance-house in the worst
portion of any large city. 1t was her first
taste of colonial manners, and there is good
reason to believe that she will never forget
the insults of that night. The country

member considered an ornament to the

convenience; one of the 'aristocratic'' off,
GERS of the civil service, overcome by food
100 rich for his stomach, vomiting against
the wall Of the ballroom; maudlin SEN
ator pinching the princess arm and dilating
upon it's plumpness and symmetry until she
was compelled to call an attendant to re-
move this man," an offensive Office holder
leaning against a table covered with about
e300 worth of brio. -brac until he over
tueled 1t and crawled away out Of the
wreck; and last of all, the miserable, be-
sotted crowd that hung around the vice re-
gal residence until daylight, asking for
zone more drink" refusing to be driven
away. Canadians who deserve the name
blush to think that these atrocities should be
taken as gauge Of the moral character of
the people at large, and wish the blame to
rest where it belongs-upon the exclusive
and eminently respectable civil service set
at Ottawa It is a satisfaction to know that
there was no state ball this year, and that
there is no promise of one in years to come.
The governor general held his reception

have had lonesome winter, the tedium of
which he tried to counteract in frequent re-
unions of his nearest friends. Rumor has
it that wassail prevailed at these gatherings,
and that the marquis illustratedfu ~ we'll
known trait Of the Scottish character.
That the princess and the ladies who
formed her limited circle were wise in with
drawing from a society which displayed not
even the elements of refinement, can not
be denied, but she showed want of FORE
sight when she neglected to take the mar

A FIENDISH JOKE,

II think, " said we'll known orchestral

town was on an ambitious amateur pianist
when Gottschalk was here. The amateurs
father was the owner of d large hall, and he
offered the use of it to Gottschalk for his
benefit. There was to be piece for eight
pianos, and the amateur was to play one of
the instruments. I was leader. thought
Gottschalk would havea fit when [ told
him that the amateur couldn't play three

that fixed the whole business. The anna

him up until he thought he was to be the
star of the night. AS soon as he left we
took the hammers out Of his piano and
made it dumb as an oyster guessed he
would never know the difference with sew
en- pianos going at once.
The tuneful convention laughed.
And just as thought" said the leader,
hammering on the table with his glass;
"that amateur or his friend never discov-
cred the trick"
"No?"
'No, sir; he just sailed in and pounded
on the piano as if it was the worst enemy
he ever had. He was bound to show off
among so many good pianists and ham
mered on his keyboard until the perspira-
ton nearly blinded him. Now and then I
looked at him approvingly to give him fresh
courage, and every time that did he gave
the piano lick that nearly made match
wood of it. His friends all around
threw bouquets at him till he looked like a
wedding arch, and when twas all over his
fond parent fell on his neck in the green
room and slipped check for $3.50 into his
hand. The old man didn't know whether
he was standing on his head or his heels,
he was SO tckled, and the way he set up

From the report of the minister of the

acres, and in 1880 only 4,210 entries for
772, OLA acres.
The cotton crop Of $780, 81 now bids fair
to exceed the highest estimate made last

bales or 5000, 600, 900 pounds about eight
per cent, more than the largest crop ever

Hardly one American publisher is now

bankruptcy. The frenzy of competition
and the absence of international copyright
has driven them into corner. The sue

TIE HIGHLAND TARTAN.

Bear to each Highland soldiers heart
The Tartan of his clan,
Symbol of glory and Of pride
To every Highland man,
Whether he dwell mid Athole's hills,
Or where the winding Tay,
BY Birnsm's glens and forests fair,
To ocean wends it's way; =
Or nearer to the northern star,
Where SHOWS the mountain crown, =
And towering over silver lakes, -
Stern peaks of granite frown.
In every country. far or near,
Where Highland men are known
The Tartan plaid is greeted still
With homage all its own
Still to the P1broch's stirring strains
On many a foreign shore,
The Highland clans press nobly on
To victory, as of yore.
True to the traditions of the past,
True to their ancient fame,
May Caledonia's children add
Fresh glories to her name.

GENERAL REMARKS.
An unmarried woman of age can take adj
vantage Of the benefit of these acts the same
as man. If she marries before she has
acquired title, she can proceed to prove up
at proper time the same as if she had re-
NAMED single. In case of the death of the
claimant before the title is perfected his
heir or administrators may submit final
proof, after the heirs have completed the
requirements; of the law. Settlers can
avail themselves of the privilege of these
laws but once. Claims are not transferable
before the title thereto is acquired. Aquai-
fed applicant may take a preemption and
tree culture at the same time, or home
stead and ree-culture at the same time.
As soon as he has proved up on his preemp-
ton, for instance, he can take homestead,
and in that way can get possession of 40O
acres within year Of first settlement. All
the sons and daughters of age can avail
themselves Of the benefits Of the law.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The question Of responsibility for The posi-
ton in which the citizens of Butte now find
themselves, In retereace TO the extention of
the railroad TO this place, has been raised.
The Inter Mountain, a journal living on the
patronage of the citizens Of this place and a
putative advocate of their interests, has been
charged with being a leading obstructionist
in this mattsr-a charge it attempts to refute.
No elaborate statement Of fact is required to
establish this charge. Its soul narrowing de-
nunciations of the Utah and Northern some
time since, in relation to a little matter of
freights, will be remembered. II now mod
estly claims that it hurt the feelings of this
''rapacious" corporation to the extent of com
polling 1t to reverse it's freight charges-a
claim that ought r,ther TO he considered y
~premoniitory symptom of approach
ing imbecility. Tie business man
ag"r of that journal, up to the time
that he sold out OF the livery stable business,
repeatedly aud publicly declared that his i'll
tere>ts were ALI on the side of having the
terminus remain at Silver Bow. Men, whose
Interests came in collision with the railroad
company In reference to the right of way,
received abundance Of w"r'i- racket eneour-
agenent to stand tirm. The advocacy Of the
extension-to Butte question vas not COM
menced by the Inter Mountain until within
a very recent period, and not until IL clearly
saw that a further policy of obstruction would
break its journalistic neck with the citizens
of this place.
In keeping with its tradit ional policy of

RIGHT Or WAY.

Daylight seems to be ahead on the right Of
way question. Claima nts along the line have
signed agreements for the sumo upon which
they are willing to part with property over
which the railroad 10 obliged to pans, and, il
the figures are satisfactory to the iailread
company, the work Of extension Will proba-
bly, be commenced forthwith. There need
not at any time, have been any hitehin this
matter but for the youthfal indiscretisn Of m
iosgan that aspires to mould public" opinion
and which, unfortunately for the commune
lty, has developed power for mischief. When
public attention IL called to its fnexcuaable
folly N attempts to shift the responsibility.
III its last issue II speaks Of the ''spirit which
has marked the utterances Of our neighbor
whenever Union Pacific interests have been
In i.sue, and which has led that tsaculent or
gan to justify and truckle 70 that corporation
when its rapacity against oir citizeDs was the
most simolerable, and its discrimination
against them the most oppressive and un-
just" The MINER aspires to be the organ Of
the people Of Butte, and to labor in the iirec-
ton OF their best interests. 1t has never dis

1t is a noteworthy circumstance that all the
county conventions of New York, from
which Half Breed delegates are claimed To

or PUBLIC RIGHT.

The Herald treats faccetiously the remarks Of
the MINER calling attention Il: the arbitrary
action Of the Northern Pacific In locating its
line OH = different route from that fIed with
the secretary of the interior eight years ago,
and upon which the lands were withdrawn
from market and the people along that locat-
ed line compelled to pay the maximum price
for their lands. The Herald fails to perceive
that any injustice has been done SETTLERS in
this matter, but treats this invasion OF their
rights as a huge JOKE, and says that proceed
ings have been instituted in the police court
of this city to compel the Northern Pacific to
lun BY this municipality. One Of the inaccu-
racies OF that statement Is that proceedings
have been Instituted in the Interior Depart
ment instead of the police court, and the 9TH
er Is that the proceedings IRE to compel theH
to run through Deer Lodge pass instead Of by
this municipality.
The question will then be decided whether
the charter of this railroad company is q sort
Of rowing commission to retard the settlement
Of our portion of Montana while 1t Is COB
bling up another, or whether 1t is bound to
keep public faith with people who have sui.
fered through a public act Of the company.
1t is very clear that the Northern Pacific can
take nothing under its land grant by the
Helena route, and it is a matter that the
people in Deer Lodge Valley n all along
the old route van to see determined,
whether tho act of location eight years ago
was not conclusive and :the powers OF the
| company then exhausted, and the implied
| contract made With the ~ssttlefs still binding.
The Northern Pacific can ~ lawfully run its
road throath the South pass As through Null
lane pass. A collateral question, for the
consideration of those who hold bonds on
the land grant, will b whether the grant
will not be vitiated and the bonds made
worthless by this variation from the old 10.
cation. This 10 . question for their consid-
Grafton. Whether this corporation lis Out
with Letters Of marQue asd reprisal to prey Oh
| the commerce Of Montana, or is governed BY
. charter for . specific work and straight
forward dealing, is the question in which the
people are concerned. The Herald maj
learn that the question has its serious IS vel
a. It's fanny aspects.
