Two scientific investigators, one Swiss and the other French, have been andy zing the Alpine air. They ascertained that entirely pure air is not found until an altitude is reached of from six to thirteen thousand feet above the level of the sea. The atmosphere around the lakes below that level, however pure and healthful apparently, wRs found to contain bacteria. Nevertheless, it was quite pure enough by comparison with that of the French capital, where the bacteria contained in square foot of air are seven thousand times moro numerous than those in the same quantity of air in one of the Swiss valleys.
 Irrigation works in India, which are thought to be the only permanent protection against the terrible and constantly recurring famines, appear to be capable of returning a considerable profit. The only exception is Bengal, where tho irrigation of 372, 1866 acres at cost of 12,25O. 900 rupees has yielded during the four years under review a return only trihe over 1-1O per cent. The Puniab heads the list, the irrigation of 1,423, 900 acres in that province yielding 8 return on the capital sunk of 8 fraction over per cent. n Madras the return is over per cent, and in Bombay over 34. Those figures show that irrigation judiciously carried out is profitable

~Jessrang's Victim.

A correspondent writing from

gives some particulars of Davidson,
who was 80 foully murdered and
nearly cremated by Jessrang. The
correspondent knew Davidson when
he was a boy. He writes: "Victor
H. Davidson, whose murder was
avenged by the Vigilantes, was born
in schuylkill county, Pennsylvania.
At the time of his death he was
tw~enty-eight years old. His father

Victor was taken into the family of
Mr.. Lester, a brother-in-law living
in Dauphin county, Pa, where he
resided the greater part of his time
until he reached his majority. He
then went to st. Paul, Mimi, and
from there into the Indian Territory
and Texas. He came to Montana in
October last. Davidson was a man
of steady habits, and respected by
all who knew him. He has a broth

Rising from the People-Gam-
beta Descended from an
Italian Chimney Sweep.

According to the "Almanach de Ia
Suisse Romande" French and Ital-
ian speaking Switzerland) the family
of the late Leon Gambetta is of Swiss
origin. To the westof Lecarno, after
passing La Maggia, a small village
OF the name of Intragna is encOun-
tered. The houses comprising it are
entirely hidden in a grove Of chest
nut trees, above which rises, like q
huge chimney, the tower of the viii
lage church. The fact of the people
of Intragna being nearly all chimney
sweepers is supposed to account for
the peculiar style of architecture
they have thought fit to adopt. A
chimney is their ideal of beauty.
The boys of the village, equipped
with sacks and brushes, wander all
over the country plying their tradi-
tional calling.
Nearly one hundred years ago, so
runs the legend, a little fellow by the
name of Gambetta, belonging to a
family that still ex ists and sweeps
chimneys at %Intragna, went as far
south as Genoa and there remained.
Instead OF returning to his village
in the spring, like the other lads of
the village, he settled on the shores
of the Ligurian Sea and set up as a
master sweep. Being Of all enter
prising disposition and careful hab-
its, things prospered with him, and
in course OF time he forsook the
sweeping of chimneys for the paths
Of commerce. Then he married, and
in after years one of his sons betook
himself to Cahors, where he became
the father of that Gambetta whose
son, after playing so important a
part i'll the affairs of France, died the
other day at Villa. d'Avray and is
now mourned by millions of French
men.
The people of Antragna are so
firmly convinced of the truth of this
legend that when Gambetta became
the Prime Minister of France they
sent a deputation to Paris to congrat-
ulate the chimney-sweep's grandson
on his good fortune, and they took it
very much to heart that the ex-Dic-
tatOr refused to receive them. They
are Notwithstanding none the less
convinced that Leon Gambetta, or
at any rate, his great grandfather,
was neither a Jew nor a Genoese,
but a true Swiss.-LOndOn Times.

Yesterday afternoon the driver of

scarcely had time to offer the gentle
manly proprietor five dollars less
than his price for a secondhand b ed
stead when he was called to the street
by the noise of a stampede
which sounded as if a
whole herd Of wild cayuses had been
let loose. He reached the door in
time to see his team running amuck
up Park street, beer kegs bouncing
out of the truck and rolling about the
street as if they were having a drunk
on their own account and the bottled
beer dancing a jig in the boxes. The
team was closely followed by a cav
alcade of horsemen, the approach of
which had stampeded them. At the
corner of Main street the swinging Of
the heavy truck made a short turn inn
possible and the team made a straight
shoot for Fisher and McGovern's sa-
loon, where Mac says he verify be
lieves they would have made a free
delivery of heer, horses, wagon and
all had the latter not collided with
the lamp post in front of that popular
bibulaeory, upsetting the entire load
on the sidewalk and stopping the
team. Fortunately no damage was
done beyond demolishing the lamp
and splitting two or three dozen bot
ties of good beer.

The gentleman who is the genu.

a person of education and good adj
dress. He told our reporter that
he takes with him about fifty
cases of specimens representing $50
to 500 mines, comprising the many
and all the the minerals found in the
great mining region in the West.
His collection comprises the COM
mercial ores of the Territories.
Among which are gold, silver, cop
per, lead, etc., and to break the mo
notony of the high grade but dull
looking samples, he has choice lot
of rich gold and silver ores and cop
per glance specimens showing the
native minerals and running in
the thousands per ton-demonstra-
tive enough to open the eyes and
pockets of the people of Northern
Europe. His exhibits are, as a
whole, the finest ever collect
ed, and cannot fail to draw this way
the attention OF European capital
lists with inducements to engage their
idle capital in the development of
our mines. My mission, as he told
our reporter, is to represent the inn
