THE 4D-ERS.

A little I'VE thirty-one years ago,
several hundred excited adventures
crossed the Rocky mountains on their
way to the Pacific coast. This mass of
eager, hurrying humanity was composed
of farmers sons, mechanics and repre-
sentatives of the various avocations and
professions. They were principally
young men, quite young-some of them
mere boys-but all possessed of a wild,
reckless, daredevil spirit of adventure.
They had hidden adieu to fathers, moth
ers, brothers, sisters, friends, and all the
ties and associations that renderhome so

T THE BATTLE.

1t is not necessary here to describe the bat
tie of the Big Hole. 1t was printed in every
paper in the territory. But we conclude this
article|by saying that the chivalrous old 7th
U. S. Infanty under the gallant Gibbon, met
and fought a superior force of the Indians
with a courage unsurpassed that as soon as
the news Of the fight reached the towns,
parties from Helena, Deer Lodge and Butte
organized ambulance trains and loaded with
such supplies as were necessary, started to
relieve and bring home the wounded. We
copy from the Weekly Butte MINER Of Au-
gust 14th, 1877, an account of what our citi.
zens SO nobly did to help the sufferers:

The great success which attended the

Mrs. Brown has lately gained fresh laurels by her
excellent singing at the New York Festival; Cam

has Boston reputation for superior voice and

The Philharmonic Society gave a full rehearsal of

Our finances were never SO sound as

there remained $4,000 i'll the Treasury subject to

such large balance remaining at this season of

Major III. A. Hall and others.

The rumor that there is possibility of

FAULTLESS GAME.
The Nationals SHOW tho AfIanfics How 10
Play Ball.

Judging from the game of Yesterday,
the Nationals will not only have prosperous
season, but one that will cover them with glory
They met the AtlanticS, of Brooklyn, for the first
time to play the first game in the series for the
Eastern championship. There was only one draw
back, and that was, the attendance was diScourag-
ingly slim. The splendid, almost faultless game
of the Nationals deserved the plaudjts of an i'm
menSe crowd. The game was called at half past
four, and the appearance of Houck, who took the
place of Baker, was greeted with applause. The
latter was taken off owing to an objection on the
part of the AtlanticS TO his playing. Dallas made
wonderful one-hand running catch in the third
inning. In the fourth inning a double play
on base-hit, was made by the Atlantics, and was
loudly applauded. The Nationals played q fault
less game throughout and only had one slight
error. As 4 result, not single player on the OPP
posing nine reached the second base during the
game. Wiedman pitched splendidly throughout
and was well supported by Trott. Nelson, of the
old Mutual nine Cf New York, showed that he had
not forgotten how to play short-stop. The Ma
tionals will meet the Atlantcs again thisafernoon,
and the game will be well worth seeing. The fol-

Stocking The Potomac.

A large number of shad and herring
eggs were Matched out yesterday in the hatchery
erected by the United States Fish Commission at
the navy-yard. The season is just now at its
height, and has been an unusually successful
one for tie operations of the commission. The
eggs are obtained from the fish caught below Fort
Washington, and are brought up to the navy yard
to be hatched. The increase in the number of
fish in the Potomac is very noticeable this year,
and the catch already shows large percentage
over that Of the two previous years. This is due
to the work of the commission in stocking the
river. A large proportion of the fish now being
hatched out are placed bach in the Potomac
There is also another hatchery in operation about
twenty miles down the river.

A Misrepresentation.
the Editor of The REPUBLICAN:

1t is feared that you much misappre-
hend the purpose of the article in regard 10 taxa
ton of church property used foc parsonage pur-
poses so kindly published in your issue of yester
day. That article had nothing to do with any
doctrine principle, or consideration which should
influence the legislative mind in the matter of the
taxation ofsuch property. II was only intended
to show that the exemption granted by Congress
in 1870 had never been recalled; that from that
time to the passage of the act of March,
1881 no liability for such taxes having attached
or obligation, legal or equitable, having existed,
this last named act could not justify any demand
i'll the premises. The eXpediency or inCxpedisney
of such taxation was not discussed. Y.
