NOTES.

w. Fl. Garland, for many years a newspa-
per man at Louisville, KY, died at soeorro,
New Mexico, on the 18th inst, of consump-
tion.
A Northern paper praises the the "lndian
Hair Restorer.', He is a fraud. No Indian
was ever known to restore any hair. He
files 1t away as a certificate on which 10 draw
rations from Uncle Sam.
A bill has been introduced in the New
York legislature to punish wife bsaters with
20 lashes. Our legislature may advance the
interests of humanity by placing a law OF
this kind upon our statute books.
It is very well understood why the NeW
North Vest should apologize for and cham
MON the interests of DR.. Mitchell. We say it
is very we'll understood, and it is equally well
understood that when a mans democracy is
of that character and MS political actions are
so shaped as to meet the endorsement and
challenge the championship Of a republican
paper, he becomes fairly an object Of suspi-
cion among his political brethren.
1t is stated that congressional absenteeism'
is greatly retarding business at Washington.
Although the democrats have a majority IN
the house they are continually deprived of
the benefits of such majority by inattend-
ance. Representative Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, Is about to introduce a bill to arrest
the evil. One Of the provisions of the bill is
49, ..l1;o l;.+ elnu Io f,rpis1uI aopb
week OF all members absent. The people
can then see whether their representatives
are attending to their business or gallivantins
around the country. Now if they would send
out photographs of their prize fighters stripped
for the combat the proper measures for keep
ing that body in a respectable attitude before
the country will have been taken.
Should the division bill fail to pass, Messrs.
DeWslfe, Spratt, Forbls and other "south-
ern' politicians will suffer an inglorious de-
feat in more ways than one. DeWolfe, how
ever (although more interested considering
his brief residence), will be the least sufferer
by defeat.-Ne1p North West, Jan. IA.
What terrible rod has eur Deer Lodge Co.
temporary in store for these gentlemen? In
what manner will they "sutfer au iDglorlous
defeat in more ways than cne?" What have
"%ssouthern' politicians to do with the divi-
sion bill. Will the KeC North West ex-
plain? Should the division bill fail to pass
not only will the gentlemen above named be
put to great inconvenience in the future, but
over 5000 others in Butte and vicinity will
equally suffer. The contemplate threat con-
veyed in this precisus excerpt from the New
North Vest is aimed at every taxpayer in
this portion of the county as well as at
Messrs. DeWolfe, Spratt and Forbis. They
have a common interest with these gentle
men in furthering every honorable measure
looking to the division of this county. What
ever punishment the Deer Lodge fusion Or
gan csntemplates melting out to the one
should with equal prepriety be administered
to the others. When will the "turning over"
process begin? Bah! Can the valley sheet,
which has recently become noted for its silly
vaporings, crowd more unadulterated nom
sense within a square inch of matter than it
has in the above few lines?
