Beccher's Money.

One OF the mysteries Of the age
IS ghat Henry Ward Beecher has
dona with his money. At one time he
wasln receipt of so, 900 from his
church, $4,000 from his newspaper.
S2U, 600 from his lecturing and so, 900
from marriage fees, literary works. and
his books, making total of $4,000 a
year. Yet Beecher. had no money to
spare. His household was modest, not
expensive; his wife was apparently not
extravagant; lie gave nothing that was
known to charity. and yet he was al
ways lmpecunious. When he wanted
to help Hilton he gave mortgage upon
mis- house and now he has sold his
house. furniture, and buildings and
gone to live with q married son. He
told me he did this because the young
-birds had all g.co~a up and flown cut
OF the nest, and yet it was marvel,
that in his old age he should leave his
comfortable home upon the heights of
Brooklyn and 60 into narrow quarters
as boarder. He spoke with a sigh
and very evident regret at the breaking
up OF his old house. This was strange,
but the unfinished story in regard to his
farmer, Thomas Turner, at Peekskill is
still more strange, When Turner died
Mr.. Beecher took charge of his papers,
and burned large number of them,
among which, it is alleged, were
number OF promissory notes. The
whole thing has queer look. and the
question which agitates newspaper men
is, where has all the money he has made
in the last quarter of a century,
amounting to millions, gone to-? Per
haps it is one oi those mysteries that
no fellow can find out, but the curiosi-
ty of the natural man will prompt him
to find out the undiscovered channel
through which it flows. Looking at
and talking to Mr.. Beecher, who is now
more spiritually minded, reverent, and
large-hearted than ever before in his
life, the mystery only deepens. That
there is mystery connected with the
mans life and his daily expenditure
no one can doubt. Perhaps when the
curtain is lifted it will increase the
charity which the world is benginning
to feel for great. sorely stricken man.

Street CrierS.

There is something almost pleasing
in tho voices of the street criers as
heard in the cities of the Old World.
Each has its distinguishing pitch or ca
dence. or infection, aud they enter the
open windows in summer time without
vexing the ears of those within. But
in New York the venders produce an
almost uncomfortable psndemonium with
their desperate howls. Excepting the
sharp but not ear piercing yelp of the
milkmen. the cry of the ragmen, and
the voices of the venders of charcoal,
there is hardly cry. among all of
those which help to drive people into the
country us soon as the season of open
windows arrives. that can be dis
tinguished, unless it is roared with such
volume that the syllables are distinct;
and when the sidewalks are almost
lined with bawling vendors, each
striving to drown the voices of all the
others. there is little for the dwellers
in the vicinity to do but to give their
undivided attention to the contest
There is moment of satisfaction when
the voice of the robust vender of straw
berries suddenly cracks from overstrain-
ing, and he drops out of the competi-
ton; but another Of the bowling tribe
is sure to take his place, and then it is
perhaps tin. ware, or brooms, or crock
cry, that has the lead. Between the
venders and the band-organ grinders
there is no such thing as an approach
to quiet till cold weather cones as a
protection. 1t is possible that this re-.
public would not be compelled to for

extraordinary powers of work, and on

up the mountain climbing which was,
till a few years ago, his principal, al
most his only, relaxation. He leads q
most retired life, visits nobody, and is
not very accessiblet to visitors, but max.

to whom he is always "at home." and
as Baraccone is not far from Turin
such visits are not infrequent. He il

OF his memoirs beyond which ht
has determined not to continue tai
work. Still he would gladly write {
fourth volume, giving an account of th'
events of 1856, but fears that his failing
strength would not permit him II
carry it out. AS his means do not nov
enable him to keep up his villa at Bar

he has resolved upon giving up tn

FLOWER OF THE AIR.-There is a
plant in Chill, aud similar one in
Japan, called the " flower of the air. -
This appellation is given to it because
it has no root and is never fixed to the
earth. 1t twines round dry tree or
sterile rock. Each shoot produces two
or three flowers like lily, white. trans
parent and odoriferous. 1t is capable
of being transported two or three hun
dred leagues; and it vegetables as it

in which they can plant, and dig, and

for the flower garden, they will not only
take the greatest delight in its posses
sion, and in the buds and flowers. but
will also gain large amount OF health
and muscular development. Their love
of the beautiful will also be largely
cultivated, and they can be taught to
give their flowers to the sick. and to
poor children. and learn that to give
pleasure to others, is the surest way of
receiving it themselves.
But of all the lessons to be taught to
children by working in q garden, the
most valuable is the art of observation.
So minute. SO varied, and so delicate.

from the Independent:
Yesterday Under-Sheritf John T. Jefieris

Helena against the opium dens. Two Chi

taken before Probate Judge Davis for trial.
The evidence left no doubt of the guilt that
the two celestials had smoked opium i'll a
manner contrary to the form OF the statue in
such cases made and provided, and against
the dignity and peace of the Territory: The
Acknowledged prisoners were found guilty, the
Judgment of the court being that each OF them
be punished by Imprisonment in the county
Jail for the period of thirty days and that

has been much discussion as to the validity
of the law mentioned, and we trust that the
question will be determined in these cases by
an appeal to the district court. II the law Is

Of present prices we look for a good demand
and a healthy trade, but any attempt to adj

chasers to withdraw from the market or limit
transactions to immediate wants. The bust
ness of the year has been an Improbable one
and dealers who are now closing up old

Death of Hugh Bratton.

The Neg North Vest has the following
account of the death of Hugh Bratton, who
was well known by old settlers all over the
Territory
The death OF Hugh Bratton takes from the
roll of Pioneers one Of its WorlhieSt mem
bers. Advices from Blackfoot say that he re-
tired at 9 o'clock on the evening of last Sat
urday in usual good health. At 1870 he
called to his wife, spoke of feeling i'll and in
a few moments he was dead. He leaves a
wife and five children and is believed to have
been about about 90 years old. Mr.. Brstton
came to Montana in 1862, from Ireka, Cal,
wheI e he failed with a great many others in
the great elghty-mile-ditch building. He had
known James Staurt there, and joined him
and Granville at Gold Creek in 1872, remaining
with them over winter, He went thence to
Bannack,, Alder gulch, and finally to Ophir,
where he was one of the DISCOVERIES of Tiger
gulch, an interest in which he retained and
which he had charge of until his death. He
also owned a valuable farm south of Deer
Lodge. His old comrades and many friends
remember him as al honest, good man, true
and trusty in all respects, and who full of
years has passed peacefully into the other
country. Rest his soul.

A Sad Accident.

Mr.. Claude y. Chapman, one Of the ELI
gineers belonging to the Canadian Pacific
surveying party, was drowned last Sunday
morning in the Missouri river. The hecora
has the following account of it:
Gle went INTO the river some little distance
below Murphy's ranch, and landed safely at
the upper point of an island opposite to where
the engineering party is in camp. Thinking
he could swim the main channel from the
island across to the opposite bank, Mr.. Chip
man started. He had barely reached the
channel, however, when the fatal current OF
the Missouri bore him down the stream, and
his efforts to make the opposite shore proved
hopeless. He was carried down the stream
very rapidly, and in a minute was around
the bend and out of sight. To those who
saw how powerless he was to make any ef-
fort against the current, it was too plain that
poor Chapman was drowning. 1t is generally
thought that he was drawn under by the
current when all strength failed him, and
thus drowned"
