They were lettering round the break
fast-table in the bright sunshine, dis
cussing the relative merits of fashion
able summer resorts-papa, partly pom
pous, gold sealed; mamma, tall, aristo-
cratic, languid, with some wonderful
fairy fabric of Valenciennes on her faded
blonde head Cordelia, second edition
of mamma, and the beauty of the family.
Mr. Worthington, VINO had worked
his way from country farmhouse to q

of his aristocratic wife and daughter,
feehly resented this annual outlay, and
was inclined to ill-temper accordingly,

lessly looking up, as though Bert were
asuperfuous piece of furniture, scarcely
worth the price of storage.
"Leave her at home with Miss Mills,
said her mother, promptly. A child
like that should not neglect her studies
for amusement"
As papa stood on the hearth-rug
dangling his gold seals and inwardly
fuming, there was the ripple of light
laugh without the oaken doors of the

The question, shall General Arthur act as
President, is again discussed in political cir
cles. In reference to this matter a late dis
patch says: Now that confidence in the
Presidents recovery has been restored, the
subject of executive business, is again dis
cussed, and in connection with it the proba-
bility and feasibility of General Arthur being
called upon to act as President until Garfield
sufficiently RECEIVERS to warrant his resump-
ton of executive duties. The fact cannot
well be overlooked that in every department
of the government there are matters in statu
quo that require the attention of the Chief
Executive. How long they can remain so
without positive detriment to public interest
is a question that must soon be settled. 1t is
positively known that ne meeting of the cab
met has been held or called to discuss this
subject. yet it is acknowledged by cabinet 9f-
dcers hat an informal exchange of opinion
has been INDUCED in and it has been found
that grave differences exist as to the wisdom
of such a step not the least objection being
the possible effect upon General Garfield in
his present weak state, as il must necessarily
be if the matter is called to his attention.
Although public business is not suffering
through his continued disability, he neverthe-
less thinks much upon the subject, no better
evidence being needed than the fact that his
recent incoherent ut.erances we're constantly
and entirely in relation to public matters,
and it is feared that his recovery might be
seriously retarded by the knowledge that it
was deemed necessary for another to perform
his Constitutional duties.

The Inter Aounta.n appears to be some
what exercised ever the fact that "Generai
Hancock said General Arthur is a pure
hearted, patriotic man," We hasten to in
form our half-breed ~neighbor that the MINER
does not hold Itself responsible for General
Hancock's opinion of General Arthur. We
presume the General, in the warmth of his
nature, was prompted to make the assertion in
view of the fact that about all the half-breed
Journals in the country of the Inter Noun
tain stripe were engaged in siandering...and
belittleirig the Vice-President. So far as we
are concerned we COME IS that we entertain
no better opinion Of eneral Arthur than the

THE PRESIDENT.

Our latest dispatches give the Information
that the condition Of The President remains
unchanged. What that ineans may BE gath
cred from the fact that for several dayshis
pulse has ragged from05 to 1o4, and that he
can take and, retain liquid aourishment.
While his wound appears to be doing we'll
and the swelling of the parotid gland has par
TALLY subsidized, be gains no strength. Ills
fphysicians entertain . hqpsof his recovery,
but it is evidently a slight one. The refusal
of the patients stomach to retain nourish'
ment for a few hours only would doubtless
turn the now about evenly balanced scales
against him. All depends upon his sure pro-
gress, however slow IL may be. He cannot
stand another relapse. His mind is now
clear and he desires to be removed. His
wish will be gratified as soon as it will be
prudent to yield to it. His physicians admit
that nothing more can be done for him than
is now being done so long as he remains At
Washington. A change Of climate, it is
thought, may help him. As he has expressed
desire to go to his HON at Mentor it Is
likely that when he shall be able to be re-
moved he will be taken there by easy stages.
The President has had a long and desperate
struggle for life. His splendid constitution,
coupled to an indomitable will, has so far
enabled him to keep death from his chamber,
but the battle is becoming an unequal one.
His sixty-four days combat with the grim
monster has robbed him of every weapon
save his iron will. OF tits he was shorn for
a time by his clouded mind, and he lay a
helpless prey to his obstinate foe until return
ing reason came to his relief. The physical
man is nearly gone and his strength we'll
nigh exhausted, still his brave spirit clings to
its tenement of clay, and all that the skillful
surgeons in charge can do, all that a brave,
devoted wife can do, and all that true and
friends can do are being done to hold
it there. May they prove successful is the
of the people Of the nation.

According to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
SOM of the halfbreed journals are beginning
to "eat crow" Here is what it says: ssGen.
eral Garfield lis going to de-" remarked a
prominent Official yesterday. Sat least the
feather-head press think so, for they have
begun to praise Vice-President Arthur.
When the President was shot the Tribune and
the Journal said that Arthur did it, or words
to that effect and they abused HIM
like a couple of t~ish-wives. Now, as
it appears that he may become Presi-
dent, they are licking the dust from
his boots. 1t is the same way they treated
Garfield-abused him one minute and praised
him the next, and if he should die they will
swear that Almighty God never created a man
half so good or half as wise as Chester A..
Arthur"

SOME GOOD NEWS FOR HORSE
RAISERS.

Montana horse raisers will find much en-
couragement in the fact that there is a sharp
demand for good horses in the large Eastern
cities at an advance of from Is TO 30 per cent.
on the values current the past two years. In
fact, says the Boston advertiser, at no time
within the past twenty years has there been
so noticeable a scarcity of thoroughly sound
stock. The horse car companies that three
years ago were supplying their wants at from
$S5 to 500 per head are now forced to bid up
to $50 for animals counterparts of their 1870
purchases. Truckmen, who were last autumn
buying heavy draught tean3 at $3.50 to $500,
are now compelled to pay S425 to $3.50 for
duplicates for these pairs. The most persist
ent demand is for da. k-colored, well-brel
carriage horses, In closely.matched pairs, each
horse weighing about twelve to thirteen hun
dred pounds. Such a well-broken and sty-
lsh team, though not fleet, will secu e from
$50 10 81 900, the price advancing from The
" range upon their freedom from blemish
and their evenness in speeding. The major
part of the receipts of horses are from Ohio.

MURAT HALsTEAD's VIEWS.

But the present situation is very dias
President Garfield still lives, and NAV
tinue to live, and yet for a long time be
ically disabled that he cannot perform g,
tive duty. Mr.. Arthur, then, comes in.
to take the office, but simply to perform
tain executive duties. To what exts
may exercise power as we'll as disct
duty, is a delicate question, which he "
have, 80 far as we can see, to determin,
himself. 1t is hardly likely lie would attn
a revolution of policy or interfere with On
e%aniLation Of the Cabinet. That would
be necessary in order to discharge exec
powers and duties. 1t would look In
attempt to usurp the Office itself, and vii
ignore the living President, who, when re
cred, would, without ceremony, resum.
functions, leaving the Vice President vi
he is and just what he is, and no more,

TOO THIN.

The efforts of the Inter Mountain to con-
ceal its too evident hostility to,ths building
efthe U. n N. railway from Silver Bow to
his city is not only amusing but disgusting.
; n has not the manliness to come out boldly
! against the building Of the road and thu pre-
sent a plain, we'll defined issue upon which
its opinions may be combatted, but 1t con-
tents ITSELF In dealing in unwarranted charges,
ungenerous insinuations and false rep
reseptation. NFF appears anxious to
throw every obstacle in the way Of an
amicable settlement Of the right Of way dit
fculty by the parties interested. In one
breath it declares the claimants ground
worthless and in the next pats them III the
back and urges them to stand up for their
rights. It processes to want the road COM
pleted to thisp place and al the same time has
not offered a word that would encourage the
company to build it here. Not satisfied with
bloWing hot and cold upon the enterprise, it
must resort to gross misrepresentation-we
use a mild term-of the reception of Colonel
kimball's remarks by our business men, and
of the remarks of Mr.: Dillon at the meeting
held while he was here. For its course in this
railroad matter it has gained the reputation
of being inconsis tent, vindictive and unrelia-
BILE. In taking its name it appears also to
have filched the reputation of its namesake
and like tilt is rapidly becoming a stencil in
the nostrils of the people. 1t has not properly
voiced the sentiments of the citizens of the
community, and for its failure in this respect
as we'll as in others they are prepared to rel
egate the sheet to its more congenial employ
ment of fostering doubtful horse racing enter
prises and of using its columns for the pur-
pose of enabling needy parties to float STOCK
in over capitalized mines. AS an exponent
of the interests of the people of Butte it is too
thin much too thin. -

TOO PREMATURE.

Counting chickens b efore they are Matched
appears to be the pastime in which some of
the Republican journals are at present EN-.
gagged. The following from the San Francis.
CO Exchange is a fair illustration of the man.
ner in which they count them.
awe understand that it has been intimated
to Mr.. Marcus d. Boruck, who has been a
candidate for the secretaryship of the senate,
by a gentleman high IN Republican councils,
and with authority to speak, that a contin-
gency is likely to arise by which at a meet
ing OF the senate in December, the Repub!i.
cans may concede the secretaryship to the
Democrats provided the latter will permit
without obstruction, the election of a Repub-
lean President pro tenn. 1t is due to Mi.
Boruck to say that when this intimation was
conveyed to him, he cheerfully acquiesced in
tile arrangement, and went so far as to say
that If such a compromise would affect har-
mony in the party, and add to the peace and
security of the country, he would not only
forego his ambition hut encourage its
contamination by every means in his power.
Mr.. Boruck is not only a good Republican but
he is a patriot as we'll, and his cheerful read
mess to acquiesce in a plan which, though it
may long defer his hopes, is yet for the gener-
al interests of his party, is in these days Of
political selfshness. to be warmly com .
mended."
The idea that 'the Republicans may con-
cede the secretaryship to the Democrats pro-
vided the latter will permit without obstruc-
ton, the election of a Republican president
pro tem," is decidedly rich, and that Mr..
Marcus ID. Boruck should be willing to stand
aside and permit the Democrats to elect the
secretary is still richer. Probably his patriot
ism will not slime with such great lustre
when it is generally known, as it is now
known among experienced parliame ntarians,
that the Democrats now have it in their DOW
er to organize the next senate. For this
power they are indebted to Messrs. Conkling
and Plat. Their successors will take their
seats after hot before the organization of the
senate. In view of this fact the concessions
which the Republicans are willing to make
to the Democrats loses all its lamb-like and
millennium-like features. Our Republican,
friends are a little too fast. Let the Demo-
Gratis count the chickens.
