at that time, and as we'll to show what
changes the whirlgig of time will bring
about in twenty years. At that time the In
dian was about the only resident along the
Missouri from St. Louis, almost, to Benton.
Sioux City only had 1000 Inhabitants, and
Bismarck was not born. Fort Benton was
only trading post, with scarcely white
person in it. The Northwest, including the
territory now known as Nebraska, Dakota,
Wyoming and Montana, was almost un-
known. The first settlement had scarcely
been made in Dakota, which has now over
200, 900 inhabitants and is knocking for ad-
mission to the union of States. The geog-
raphy did not show such place as Montana,
now the richest and most promising of all
the Territories, and the writer of the above
diary was one of the vanguard of gold seek
ers in the Territory. Twenty years hence
how much greater, even, will the change be!

Thou everlasting AaD, which hast stood here
FOR countless ages OF the past, which hast
WlthstoOd the heats and colds, the storms and
tempests OF centuries, the lightnings and
thunderbOlts OF heaven: thou symbol of the
immutable and the eternal, In the name of
that sublime faculty in man which laughs at
impossibilites and aspires to overcome all
physical obstacles, we command thee to open
before us for this highway OF nations Give
thou up the secrets which thou hast kept
since the foundation of the world. Let the
iron bands which bind peoples and nations
together pass through thee. We will tear thy
side with pick and spade We will rain up
on thy rocks blows of steel heavier than
thunderboits; will rend them with mightiest
explosives will drain thy hidden veins with
new channels, and will let daylight penetrate
where only darkness has brooded forever
Thenceforward shall we behold that grand
procession which in the dim distance is even
now approaching. Daily will it move for
ward with the speed of the whirlwind and
breath Of fire. Here shall ebb and flow the
tide OF human life. Here our kinsmen Of the
East, our friends from Europe, and strang-
ers from tar-off continents shall daily pass
Trough.
Here the devotees of art, Of science, of
poetry. of learning, of religion, of business
and of pleasure shall come IN a ceaseless
tide.
Here shall come agriculture, with her
hands filled with plenty, commerce with the
wealth and wares of nations, and invention
with its benifcent and undreamed Of de-
vices.
Here the fruits of California the teas, the
spices and the silks of China shall meet the
products of mines which have lain hidden IN
these mountains for uncounted ages.
We whose thou hts are now to be engraved
upon these hills may hope to see them
wrought out to complete and happy realiza
ton. Those younger in years to whom will
be entrusted the labor of carrying out these
plans will come prepared TO the places which
are soon to be vacated and fill them with
honor to themselves and profit to their en-
pIoyers. When these ideas shall be realized
we shall one by one go to other scenes and
labors; but we may we'll hope that while the
breezes play about these mountains while
the pines and furs are green upon their sum-
mits and the crystal waters flow down their
furrowed sides. the work we this day begin
may endure and may bless those who come
after US until the latest syllable of recorded
time

THE MUSSELsHELL MURDER.
Particulars of the Killing Of Ed Graveline
by Half Breeds.

From Big Spring Creek the news reaches
Benton of most cold blooded and unpro-
voked murder, near the mouth of the Mussel
shell, on the 9Th ult. So far as our inform
alton goes, the particulars are as follows:
Edward Graveline and George Bert have
trading post established near the mouth of
the Musselshell, the former being in charge,
where they do considerable trading with the
Indians and half-breeds in that part of the
country. On the evening of the above date
two half-breeds, whose names are unknown.
came into the store and wanted to get some
things on credit, which Grayeline refused
them This appeared to rile the men, and
they went outside and commenced firing off
their guns to show, it is supposed, their in
dignation at the refusal of their request. This
exhibition of their displeasure appears not to
have had the effect of soothing their ruf1ed
feelings, but only to have increased their vio-
lence; for a few moments afterWard they
stole up to the store, took aim at Graveline
through the window and fired, the ball pass
ing through his heart. Graveline turned to
George Legacy, who was standing near him,
and asked, s'Are you shot, too 2" and drop
ped dead LIE ball went clear through him
and came out on the right side. Cyprien
Matt. who was one of the parties in the store
at the time, caught up his rifle and ran out
side, but could see no one, the murderers hav-
ing fled Immediately after firing the shot.
The murdered man was quite well known
in Benton. He was French Canadian from
Lower Canada, and was carpenter by trade.
He was about % years of age, and is said by
those who knew him to have been a fine
young man, of good habits His sudden and
unhappy death is regretted by all his friends.
The body was taken to Big Spring Creek
for burial, and the people of that place have
made up purse Of $3.50 for the apprehen
sion of the murderers, which amount will
doubtless be increased by the authorities. and
we have hopes that this, coupled with the in
dignation which the coHardly deed has
aroused, will lead to their speedy capture and
punishment,

Fighting Finn Not Finished.

The latest report from Barker is to the
effect that Finn is still alive and improving.
The probability is that he will recover from
the terrible wound received, although the
crisis is not past by any means. Lynch has
been arrested and placed under bonds OF
$4,000, to await the action of the Grand
Jury Of Meagher county. Although Finn
has been by no means model citizen, the
action of Lynch is not upheld by public
opinion.

UP THE MISSOURI IN '62.
A Few Leaves from the Diary of Pas
senger on the Steamer Emile.

While looking over his old papers, few
| days ago. Mr. w. H. Todd unearthed q little
black backed book, which upon examination
proved to be faithful record of passing
events in 1862, made by one of the many who
that year came to Montana in search of gold.
Who the author is, or was, is not set forth,
but we take the privilege Of corying few
notes IN reference to his trip up the Big
Muddy in 1862, when navigating that stream
was rather a hazardous undertaking.
He tells US at the outset that on Wednes-
day, May 18Th, 1862, he left st. Louis on the
Emile with 80 cabin passengers and So deck,
arriving at Fort Benton on June 17h Then
follow brief notes of each days events. We
give few of the entries to contrast steam
boating on the Missouri then and now.

3Oth.-Boat got off the bar inssthe morning
and took us aboard near Fort Perre-a large
Indian settlement. Some of the chiefs came
on board and traded for trinkets. Killed a
buffa]e swimming across the river; about so

excitement and some danger from the inds-
criminate firing. Firing prohibited on the
boat for the future.

cannon; considerable gesticulating, nobody
hurt.
