Husbands and Wives in Summer.

From the New York Sua.
One of the most noticeable things about
our summer watering place life is the pres
ence of 81 large number Of wives unat-
tended by their husbands. The great ma
jority of the married women at some Of the
fashionable resorts either see their lord at
only long intervals or for day or two of
the week merely. The man may put in an
appearance on Saturday, but he is likely TO
depart by an early train on Monday, or he
may make much rarer visits; yet the wife is
absent from town for perhaps two months,
and in many cases from July to October.
The entire unconcern which Amer
lean married couples show in regard to
this matter of long separations, the AMIGA
BILE terms on which they part, no ripple ap-
parently disturbing the surface of their
conjugal life, are the wonder of many for
eign observers. There are in Parie and
other places of continental Europe large
colonies Of American wives in sound health
who have put the ocean between them
selves and their lords, and yet the separated
pairs seem TO be on the best of terms. The
Europeans cannot understand such Ameri-
can ways. They marvel that American hus-
bands are so accommodating.

When I inquired (writes q Chicagoan in
London) why the steamers are so small he
replied: "Becos we cawnt get bigger one

this with ferocious glare at me, "wot nd

plain why l was SO curious, ventused to
suggest that larger steamers would be more
powerful, throw moro water, and do bet

change would improve the electives of the

imperceptible joke in his remark, he turned
away and began polishing up the ma

What An ALBANY Man Said,

One of the lumber dealers in this state
has for the past three years been supplying
a dealer at Albany. For the first year
everything went well, but at length the
Albany man began to complain. He found
shortage and culls in every carload sent
him, and demanded discounts therefor, and
this spring it was impossible to please him.
No matter how carefully lumber and shin
giles were culled and billed him here, he
was sure to write back that they were not
up to the standard. Two weeks ago car
load OF "star" shingles was sent him. This
shingle beats anything made in the country,
and they know it at Albany as well as in
Michigan, but as soon as the car arrived
the dealer replied that he really must pro-
test The shingles were hardly clear
butts" and he could not unload the
car until assured of discount of
twenty-five cents per thousand.
The Michigander had suffered long, but
the end was nigh. He had inspected every
bunch of shingles on that car, and he made
up his mind to go to Albany and inspect
them over again. The dealer there had
never seen him, and the Wolverine walked
into his Office as would be purchaser Of
some extra fine shingles.

Letter Writing.
From tho Rural New Yorker.

Let us remember our absent friends by
correspondence. particularly when as grown
children we leave the parental roof to make
homes of our own. knew an affectionate
mother who had for many years been busy
prov; ding for the wants of large family so
that letter writing and penmanship almost
became one of the lost arts. But when her
children began to leave her, some of them
to settle in distant states, she took time
daily to practice with her pen. 1t was hard
work at first, for her muscles had become
stiffened with hard labor, but she perse-
vered. She used to copy pieces of poetry
from the newspapers as an exercise. She
said to me one day: Il must hear from the
children and this is the hest way for me to
do it and don't mind if it does come awk-
wardly." She gradually succeeded in writ
ing easily and we'll. One of her daughters
showed me some of the scraps that had
been written as an exer wise, which she had
treasured up as touching evidence of n
mothers love. So let us remember the old
folks, who in the silence of the old home
look often and sometimes long for letters
from absent children who are not unloving
but unthinkinp.

PATIENCE WITH THE LOVE.

They are such tiny feet;
They have gone such little way to meet
The years which are required to break
Their step to evenness and make
Them go
More sure and slow.
They are such little hands; --.-.,.
Be kind. Things are go new and life but
stands
A step beyond the doorway. AL around
New day has found
Such tempting things to shine upon, and 80
The hands are tempted hard you know.
They are such new, young lives;
Surely their newness shrives
Them well of many sins. They see so much
That, being immortal, they would touch,
That il they reach
Wemust not chide, but teach.
They are such fond, clear eyes,
That widen to surprise
At every turn; they are so often held
To suns of showers-showers soon dispelled
BY looking in our face.
Love asks fer such much grace.
They are such fair, frail gifts;
Uncertain as the riffs
OF light that lie along the sky
They may not be here by and-by.
Give them not love, but more-above
And harder-patience with the love.

The Trumpet Vine.

From the Rural New Yorker.
The Trumpet Vine is loaded with its
blossoms now, and what splendid thing it
is. Running up naked tree trunk, set
upon pillar by itself, trained up by the
water spout at the corner of the house, the
posts Of the piazza or the door-porch, it
matters not; its roots stretch deep into the
earth and more beyond the influence of
summer drought than many vines; its hard
and woody stems reach as high as twenty
feet or more, and from them droop on every
with bunch Of trumpet blooms. Some
times these wands are winter killed to the
hard wood, but it matters little, fresh ones
come forth in quantity and all will bloom.
Beetles, bugs and caterpillars pass it by, it
is not to their liking. But the prettiest way
Of growing it have seen is in its wild state,
where by the edge of creek and river bot
tom timber belts it drapes and mantles trees
and bushes.

Better Care for stock than Family.

There is truth in the following from the
New York Sun: We might name. says the
writer, some Of the richest farmers in the
richest agricultural regions of this country
who provide magnificent barns, stables,
sheds, and pastures for their animals. but
at the same time keep their wives and chill
dren in mean, uncomfortable houses, with
few conveniences for doing their work
easily and properly. Shade trees are left
or planted in the pastures for their stock
to recline under, but there is not one near
the house, while ms for flowers and orna-
mental plants, Whit from some fragrant
old lilac or syringa is about all the garden
perfume which reaches the inside Of
thousands Of country homes.

Can Such Things be /?

The Salt Lake Tribune of the 18th lnsL.,
has the following special dispatch from Silver
Reef, Utah. The party to the devilish plot
is known to many Montanians, and it is
therefore of local interest:
The town was thrown into a state of great
excitement this afternoon, by the divulgence
of a plot to burn his store for the SAX of the
insurance by S. Greenbaum, a merchant here.
He made a bargain with a party here to set
fire to his store for a bonus of $3.50. The
party revealed it to the officers and the prem
ises were closely watched. In a narrow ell
closure, between Woolf & Jordon's build
ing and Greenbaum's place "A large quantity
of intlammable material was prepared, satu-
rated with coal oil and a candle set in a box
Of furniture packing ready for the event,
which was to come off to night.
The officers made a raid on the premises
this evening and found everything ready to
fire. Grrenbaum and his partner were ar
rested and lodged in Jail. Had the fire oc-
CURED, it would have burned the greater part
of the city.

Only a Little Scare.

What might.have been a serious accident
occurred about 10 O'Clock yesterday morning.
1t seems that one Of the clerks of Messrs.
Coleman y Lewis store for some purpose had
occasion to handle one of the numerous re-
volvers which the firm keep in stock for sale.
The weapon in question was loaded, and is
one of Colts double-action self-cockers. By
some means the weapon was discharged, the
ball passing out through the open door across
the street, and striking one of the iron shut
tiers of Messrs. H. Jacobs & Co.'S building.
The ball pierced through two Ihicknesses of
sheet iron and an inch of wood between the
two iron sheets and dropped to the sidewalk
at the feet OF Mr.. Henry Jacobs, who hap
pened to be standing close by. Of course
there was considerable excitement for a few
moments, caused by the report of the pistol
in the central part of the city. Happily no
one was hurt, but it is simply a lucky chance
that it is so, as there is scarcely a second of
time passes during the day that pedestrians,
wagons and buggles are not going up OF
down the street.

A New Place of Resort.

,Messrs. Van Dorm and Thompson, two en-
terprising gentlemen of Butte, are preparing
an objective point for a pleasant dive and a
place for a couple of hours of real enjoyment.
The place chosen Is about one-half mile east
of the Clipper mill, the whole distance being
three miles from the city. The building,
which they are now fitting up, is 3Ox4O feet,
with a fine door, but the whole is enclosed
for the present with canvass. In the imme-
diate neighborhood a beautiful croquet plat
is laid out which will I've kept in excellent Or
der. Five swings are erected and whirligigs,
horizontal bars, and all the accommodations
for the exercise and development of the ply
steal man or woman will be at the disposal of
visitors. In close proximity to the building a
beautiful, clear, cold and pure stream of
mountain water Cows by, the whole forming
one of the most delightful retreats from the
dust, toll and busy scenes of city life to be
found in the mountains.
Picnic and dancing parties will find this
an enjoyable place in which to pass a few
hours. Refreshments will always be found
upon the grounds. The proprietors invite
the attendance of parties the coming Fourth,
and assure them a full and free use of the
grounds.

The Call Mystery.

1t will be remembered that Some time ago
the MINER recorded the fact of the mysteri-
GUS disappearance of one Henry Call, and
that the last that was seen Of him was when
he was about to leave Butte for his home in
the Park. 1t appears that Mr.. Call has some
relatives living in Utah, to whom bis wife or
some of his friends here wrote, stating the
fact Of his disappearance. Some of his rela-
tives or friends there applied to one of the
many Mormon revelators in the neighbour
hood, who profess to be able to ascertain the
whereabouts of any person through the agen-
cy Ct a "Peep Stone' for information con-
corning the missing man. After looking at
his " Peep Stone" the Mormon informed his
anxious questioner that Mr.. Call was
then lying in a cabin or house about
two miles west of Butte, badly in
iured, and attended by a mar and his wife
and that his horse, with saddle and bride
still on, was feeding over the hills in the sur
rounding country. We give this story as we
have heard it, not voucning for the correct
ness of any part of it. If any of our readers
desire to test the fallibility or infallibility of
the Peep Stone" they can do so by walking
out a couple of miles and search for the cab
in mentioned.

Eastern Montana Items.

TBozeman Courier, June lolh.l
A petition was circulated in town last week
praying for the retention OF Major A. R. Ke1-
Ter as agent of the Crow Indians.
Col. Dodge and Major Pease have lately
visited and examined SiXteen-Mile with a
view TO grade survey in the interest of the
Northern Pacific railroad. No positive con-
clusion is yet reached.
The following is a list of awards made Ola
Fort Ellis contracts for the ensuing year
Jas. NJ. Brown, hay, 20 tons, $3.50; 7. Bril-
nett, hay, $50 tons, $500; V. E. Cline, hay,
50 tons, $3.50; V. E. Cline, straw, 125 tons,
$4.S5; J. B. Davidson, oats, 100000 lbs,
$1.lS3 W. A. Williams, charcoal, 2,700 bu.,
II cts; Martin Ohison, wood, 1920 cords,
$4.37.
We are credibly in informed that Major
Pease, commissioner for the Northern Pacific
company, and Colonel Pierce, its attorney in
the premises, have gone to the agency upon
matters connected with the right of way over
the reservation. 1t is understood that the
Major will treat with the Indians under the
provisions of the treaty and the charter. As
both gentlemen, doubtless, 60 properly &C
credited, it is presumable that success will at
tend the effort, as the result of the late con-
ference, of which we spoke two weeks since,
would seem to indicate the willingness of the
Crows to grant the request of the road.
