All Quiet on Milk River.

Telegraphic advices have been re-
ceived at department headquarters at
Fort Smelling from Col. Thomas H.
Ruger, Eighteenth infantry, command
ing the district of Montana, which re-
port a peacefuland satisfactory condition
O affairs throughout the district, and on
this account, and because the season fer
active operations is nearly over, it has
! been decided to call in the various de-
tachments now in the field and place
them in winter quarters. Orders were
issued a few days ago to send forward
from Fort Assinaboine fifteen days
rations to Capt. Kellogg's command at
the Big Bend Of the Milk river, and the
~retrograde movement to the fort will be-
gin to-day. Capt. Norwood, who has
just returned to Big Bend with his troop
Il, Second cavalry from a scouting ex-
petition near the international boundary
line, reports nc foreign Indians or half
breeds this side Of the border. The
presence of the troops in the Milk river
country has had very wholesonseef effect
upon these rowing Indians, and they
have been handled SO roughly that there
is good reason to expect that the ranch
men and cattle raisers will not be troubled
by them for some time to come. 1t has
also been determined to Withdraw two
companies (Kent's and Page's) of the
Third infantry from the Blackfeet agency
and place them in garrison at Fort
Shaw. The o.her company (Moale's)
viii remain at theaagency.

The following is the latest dictum
from the town lot boss. Compare it with
some of his STREET dissertations, and then
cut it out and paste it in your hat for
future reference:
II have no hesitation in giving nay
Interpretation of that section Of the town

hold that occupation and possession axe
the predominant features required in the
proof; that the question OF improve
Inents upon lots is Of minor, if any, i'm
portance, except as far as it may be re-
auired to establish the sufticiency Of the

my opinion, but it is also the decision of
the district court, in and for this county,

cases tried in that court ten years ago."

and throw in the straw to bed the
miller. They seem to work upon
the principle that the necessities
Of the public should be their OPP
portunities, and in this way, they
become eXtOrti0ners. We have
heard the story of the miller who
got to Heaven by a "darn tight
squeeze" 1t will require some
thing more than squeezing to get
some Of the millers of this day in
to the realms of eternal bliss. At
the expense Of little energy and
a small amount OF money, the
comfort and convenience of the
people Of this valley, could be
greatly enhanced by establishing
a good Touring mill at Shanghai,
TIE greatest expense attending
the erection has already been met,
viz, the building and the power.

chinery, they would not only find
it renumerative to them, but it
would also increase the amount

STATE POLITICS,

Marion County are almost if not
entirely for Hoge, and that reliable
information places the Monongalia

Mr.. PAYNB's MEMORANDUM.

Mr.. John Barton Payne seems to
have gotten himself into rather q
bad snap with his memorandum "
1t is highly probable that he wishes
that he hadn't gone and done it.
When the document was refused
Judge Hoge on his application for
it, and was given to Mr.. Lucas to
be quietly carried around the dis
trict, there was a call for the "bot-
tom facts" in relation to it. The
general public, characteristic Of the
American people, desired to see fair
play. 1t was not so much because
they were in favor of Judge Hoge or
opposed to Mr.. Lucas, but because
it looked as if Judge Hoge was be-
ing badly treated in the matter that
they desire to have the facts come
out. Mr.. John Barton Payne, occu-
plying an uutenable position didn't
want all the facts. He would have
been only too glad to have presented
his side Of it, and there let it rest.
But the facts have nevertheless come
out, and, as was predicted, Mr.. John
Barton Payne has been "hoisted by
his own petard." He is literally
overwhelmed and the statements in
his memorandum discredited and
denied by prominent and honorable
gentlemen. We refer the reader to
the facts presented in the correspond
ence, letters, &c, published in an
other column.

DISPATCHES from the seat of war
in Egypt are so conflicting and I'M
reliable that it is impossible to form
a clear opinion Of the situation.
Those relating to the diplomatic
movements of European nations are
but little more authentic The news
of to-day will in all probability be
contradicted by tomorrow, as has
been the case ever since hOstilities
begun. 1t is confirmed that Eng~
land is amassing more troops in the
land of the Pharaohs, and that
France is in no position to do any
thing at present owing to dissen-
sions in her government. The ru-
mors Of the attitude of Russia and
Italy; danger of unfriendly relations
between Turkey and England,
France and England, and Russia
and England must be taken with
many very large grains Of allowance.
Arab and his Bedouin allies remain
unwhipped in the interior of the

ably only has existence in NJ De
