Swine, as we'll as the finer animals do far
better if wisely and regularly fed than If
served in the usual careless and wholesale
way. In illustration of this, note the follow
ing experiment in feeding, made by Cali
fornia farmer; On the list of December,
1880, he penned fourteen shoats, having
combined weight of l, 100 pounds. During
the three months following he fed them
dition to this he gave them the SKINNED
milk from four COWS and the house slops,
and, in connection with the feed, about four
pounds of charcoal a week. At the end of
three months there was a. gain of $50
pounds The feed was judiciously admin
istered, as we'll as carefully prepared, or so
satisfactory results could hardly have been
accomplished.

Moral SuasfOn and Scratching.

Eugene Field in Chicago Ne~s: When
a very mad man rushes into the st.
LOUIS Chronicle Office with club and
expresses in emotional terms an ambi-
ton to annihilate somebody, he is poll
tely referred to Miss Fanny Bagby, the
managing editor. 1t is not hard to i'm
agine the sensations of a person, frothing
at the mouth and thi,sting for a human
life, upon being introduced into the
presence ofa shy young girl, whose fair
cheeks reek with timid bushes, and in
whose startled eyes comes the look Of a
frightened fawn. The murlerous wea-
pom of death falls to the floor. The man
thinks himself brute to have thus
boisterously thrust himself into the pre-
sence of shrinking woman, and he
begins to stutter out apologies, while the
beautiful young editor continues blush
ing and trembling in a delirium of dis
may: Yet in reality she is no coward.
Emergencies have arisen III which this
fair young journalist has demonstrated
her pluck and agility. 1t is to her credit
that she never goes armed, and she will
not even adopt the precaution of keep
ing pistol in the drawer of her desk.
But she can slap and scratch with mar
velous dexterity, and huge, hulking men
have been seen tottering out Of her pre-
sence with their eyeballs hanging out on
their cheeks, and their noses split open
like quail on toast.

General Sitting Bulls Sorrows.

This renowned chicftain of the Sioux
tribe finding his power gone and his
authority no longer recognized, has con-
cluded to adopt the manners and GUS
toms Of civilization. The old warrior
chief has also expressed sorrow for his
misdeeds and announced his intention
to lead better life. The Ogden Pilot
says that Bishop Marty, of the Catholic
church, who has for some time been
among the Sioux Indians writes that
Sitting Bull will not become a member
of the Catholic church for some time to
come This Indian and about 14O of his
followers were encamped on the Missouri
river early in the spring, and, through
the efforts Of the bishop, were duly con-
verted, Sitting Bull announcing a de-
termination to be confirmed according to
the rites of the church. In letter
Bishop Marty says the chief has two
wives, and unit he consents to give one
of them up he cannot become Catholic.
At present Sitting Bull processes to be
deeply attachedto both, and is undecided
which to give up; consequently there is
hitch in the proceedings. Until the
chief has agreed to the necessary terms
the ceremony will not take place.
Sitting Bull, it will thus been seen; has
become sufficiently civilized to utter the
refrain:
"How happy could be with either
Were the other dear charmer away
and his only hope of happiness would
seem.to be in renouncing his allegiance
to the church of his choice, emigrating
to Utah and enjoying a full measure of
domestic bliss in the companionship Of
dusky wives.

Georges Whereabouts.

George II. Butler, who was formerly
stationed at Fort keoh, Montana, as
wagon-master of General Terry's COM
mand, in letter from Washington to the
New York Sun, contradicting some false
reports in regard to himself says: 81

John Silverthornc has retured from

favorable opinion Of the new mines, but
like everybody else he would not advise
any one to 60 there now, unless they had
interests there which required looking
after. There are now in the mines about
two hundred and fifty people. Provis-

before spring. As some Of our people
contemplate going there soon, We cannot
resist the temptation to advise them to
stay at home during the winter. where

An Inhuman Monster.

There is good deal Of excitement in
Townsend, which it is not at all unlikely
will terminate in brute of husband
being tarred and feathered for compel
ling his wife to prostitute herself for the
purpose of obtaining money to support
him in idleness.-IndependeM.
Our attention was called to the above
item by Nessrs. Boyd 4 Cole, who arriv-
ed from Townsend last night. They, in
form us that the brute's name is Bonner,
and that he has kept restaurant for
some time at Townsend, compelling his
wife to take in washing besides waiting
on the tables. The money made was
quickly used by the man in gambling.
Last week he compelled his wife, who
seems to be devoted to him, to prostitute
herself, the ill-gained money being used
by him in treating crowd. The woman
has baby only few months old. The
indignation at Townsend is great and the
beast in human form is liable to receive
richly deserved punishment from an
irate crowd. 1t seems almost impossible
that we are obliged to CHRONICLE such a
fiendish crime at this age of enlightment

The steamship Can.bridgeshire
brought from Japan the most valuable
collection of live fish ever imported, the
japanese king-hai-o, which were placed
i'll private ponds. The largest is about
five inches long, and half of it is broad
three-pointed silky tail which waves like
banner as eking halo travels around
or backs water. 1t is pink. There are
three varieties-one with ordinary eyes,
one with eyes like bullfrog, but more
prominent, and the other is the color of
a silver fish. They are valued at 500
each.

st. Paul Gossip and Interviews.

The well-posted local officials Of the
Northern Pacific say that the resignation
of Mr.. Willard from the presidency of the
, companies mentioned was no surprise to
them. 1t was, they said, simply the con-
sumation of plan arranged several
months ago. Shortly after the opening
of the Northern Pacific Mr.. Willard ex-
pressed desire to Withdraw from the
presidency Of the Oregon Trans..,ntincn-
| tai and Oregon Railway Il Navigation
companies in order that lie might relieve
himself of some of the great burden de-
| veloping upon the president Of all the
roads in which the Northern Pacific is
| interested. He was prevailed upon, how
ever, to retain his position in those COM
panies until the financial movements
then contemplated had been perfected.
This he consented to do, but it was then,
the local officials say, well understood
that he was to retire when these money
matters were happily settled. His asso-
Citations with the Northern Pacific, Ore
son Transcontinental and Oregon Rail-
wav 4 Navigation company, and other
companies which are dependent upon
these for existence, have been such as to
require his undivided time and attention
and that he is desirOus Of division of
the labor and honors is not to be wOn-
dered at. Both Mr.. Endicott and Mr..
Coolidge are personal friends of Mr.. Vii
lard, and their management will be
nothing more than to carry out the re-
organization effected by Mr.. Willard.
Both gentleman are well known in rail-
road circles as stockholders of the Bur-
lington and AtchIson, Topeka d Santa
Fe roads. They were, with Mr.. Willard,
members of the blind pool which sew
eral years ago acquired controlling in
terest in what is now known as the Vii
lard roads, Both are residents Of Boston
and are ranked among the leading cap
italists of that city. Mr.. Endicott is the
leading member of the firm of C. +. Ho-
vey 4 Co, the leading dry goods house of
the Hub. He was selected as Mr.. Vii
lard's successor IN the Oregon Transcon-
tinental company when the latter first
announced his intention of retiring from
the presidency. Mr. Coolidge, who sue
ceeds Mr.. Willard in the Oregon Railway
& Navigation company. is a retired Bos-
ton merchant, and is well known as hay
ing been Dickerson's successor, and
Strongs predecessor, as president of the
Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe, and was
also president at one time of the Burling-
ton 4 Quincy. Neither gentleman, it is
claimed, will take any very active hand
in the management Of the companies of
which they are now presidents.

Montana Hxhibit at Ailsterdam.

Mr.. Zeehandelaar, the Montana Com
missioner to the Amsterdam Exposition,
in his report 10 Governor Crosby says:
The collection ofminesais from Mon.
tana was tastefhlly displayed in the chief
avenue of the main building. and was
the envy and wonder of mineralogists,
metallurgists, museum collectors and
scientific men in general. Si9htseen,
ftom foreign princes down to- the ordi-
nary tourist, were constantly asking for
specimens to take home, while investors
and capitalists were chiefly interested in
ascertaining something about the country
from whence the minerals came.
my hardest critics were the Interna-
tional Jury, which included engineers
and scientific men whose names are
known all over Europe, and they unani-
moasly awarded the joint collection Of
Montana and Utah livery few specimens
were shown from Idaho) a diploma Of
honor, the highest awsrj in their power
to give. This is an honor Of which ! feel
proud for your Territory, and which was
singled out by newspapers as a merited
reward. The commercial and educa-
tional effect of my display in general was
warmly praised by many distinguished
visitors from America and Europe, but
more especially by those interested in
mining, who were thus enabled to form
. more definite opinion Of the country
than could be got from printed matter
alone. The illustrated copper wealth of
the Butte mining camp, apart from the
silver and lead mines, quite astonished
the mining representatives from Wales
and Cornwall, the principal mining CEN
tiers Of the United Kingdom Of Great
Britsin." 1'IrI5G .cl [.

"Swift Bill"

We zee by the Independent, of Helena
that "Swift Bill" a citizen of that town
has been married. Bill had the misfor.
tune, few years ago to have his legs
badly frozen while en- route from Miles
City to Deadwood. In order to save his
life both legs were amputated near the
knees. Since then "Swift Bill" has pros
pered in the fruit business, having done
business in Miles City, Billings and
Bozeman. In Miles City he started pen
niless, c. W. Savage giving him a barrel
of apples, which he peddled in a basket
and soon had a street booth. The name
of "Swift Bill" he has borne for many
years, owing to the fact that he was a
swift runner and an athelete.

Montana HOrsemanship.

1t was early in the morning that the
pilgrims were favored with an exhibition
of hOrsemanship which is rarely seen.
At one of the stations at which the train
stopped there appeared among the small
knot of natives veritable cowboy,
mounted and fully equipped. He wore
a broad-brimmed felt hat over an honest,
pleasant face, deeply tanned by the sun
and atmosphere, woolen shirt and
short, gray jacket and pants. Over his
legs, from his hips to his knees, extend
ed wide piece of leather, the object of
which is supposed to be to protect him
from rain and brush. He was asked if
he owned the herd of sheep grazing
near, and Indignantly responded that he
did not-that he was a cowboy.
"Let us see you lasso that cow"
"Huh that's nothin'; the boys'd skin
my head"
'Then let us see you catch the train."
Without word the little pony was
urged to the other side of the track, and,
as the train got under way, it gained
upon it's opponent until it and the horse
stood meek and neck" Then, as if to
tempt the rider to his fate, cigars were
held to him from the car windows.
Without moments hesitation the little
pony was headed for the road-bed, which
it reached by plunge from the higher
ground. The train increased in speed,
and the cowboy, being only intent on
the prizes offered him, gave rein to the
pony and his attention to taking the
cigars from the hands of those inside the
cars. Over washouts and uneven grounds
through cuts and over elevations the
animal dashed, and so close to the train
that the riders feet came in contact with
it. The animal was left entirely to itself,
and one misstep or stumble would have
thrown both horse and rider beneath
the wheels. For fully three-quarters of
a mile the race IVES kept up, and at the
end of it the daring rider was greeted
with shouts, which he acknowledged by
a wave of his hat as the horse mounted
the embankment-Chicago Inter- Ocean.

In 1866 the best railroad time between
New York and New Orleans was five
days, and passengers had to make nine
changes, many of them long rides from
depot to depot. In 1869 the time was re-
duced to four days; in 1873 to three and
half days; and in 1873 to three days and
only one change. Now the time has
been reduced to f0rty-eight hours.

Phil (not Phil Sheridan), but our Phil
Phil Rountree never does anything, but
he does it well, and to him this part OF
the conntry is much indebted for reada-
bic newspaper articles, advertising Mon
tana, and it's resources. He can find out
more and wear out faber faster than
any man we know of. If you want an
item, he can give it to you. If You feel
blue over the prospects, talk to him and
you will feel better. He is rustler and
if the ladies, that's his weak point want
anything done from the building of a
pagoda to auctioneering off unsold fancy
work, he's the man.
An extraordinary scene occurred when
the Judge asked Henderson, the self
constituted post-office inspector, if he had
counsel to defend him: Eyes, sir" was
the reply, "this gentleman is my attor-
ney," pointing to gentleman known
only to few present. The counsel then
arose and addressed the court: MAY it
please the court, have visited the pris-
oner a number Of times in the Jail where
he was confined, have talked with him
and have been accepted by him as his
attorney in this case, and l now appear
before you to prove that the prisoner is
a consumate liar and that ] am Thomas
R. Bannerman, United States Post-office
Inspector" This announcement created
a great sensation and the prisoner visibly
wilted.. An examination was waived
and he was committed for trial; bail fixed
at 81 900. Mr.. Zimmerman played his part
in consequence Of what the prisoner had
said, that while at Missoula he had met
Inspector Bannerman; had talked with
him, dined with him and might have
slept with him. Having pride in his
profession, the inspector was anxious to
prove him liar and took this means to
do it.
