In MemOFiam.

In the death OF Mrs. Carroll her hus-
band and mother have the heartfelt,
| sincere sympathy of all whose privilege
it was to form her acquaintance. AS a
privileged friend the writer was permit
ted to gaze upon her face after death.
While the soul had obeyed the call of the
Master, her features possessed holy
calm; her noble heart, though its pulsa-
tons were stilled, was seemingly yet
filed with the pure affection and earnest
friendship which during life had animat-
ed its every movement. Though unre-
sponsive to kiss or call of love, the look
of happy contentment after life was no
more effaced the pain Of parting, strength
ened the hope of = blissful Immortality,
aud seemed to say to the mourning ones
that they will not forever be separated.
Gone, but not forgotten. Future days
will not efface remembrance Of this noble
woman. Hers was . life worthy emula-
ton, and while relative or friend remain
there will lineer fond affection for the
departed.
Rest in peace. thou gentle spirit,
ThrOned above
Souls like thine with God inherit
Life and love. NJ.

The first of the month, the new two
cent postage stamp was put in circulation.
J uree cents had long been considered
too much for letter postage, and the re-
duction of that particular tax removes
from the field of editorial criticism a
subject over which the press of the
country has been clamoring, at intervals,
for many years. Since the first introduce
lion Of postage stamps in the United
States, somewhere in the 4O's, there
have been no less than one hundred and
sixty-three vari cites issued, apd asmany
as one hundred and twenty seven diff
ferent varieties have been in use at one
time. Whether the reduction of post
age will give an added impetus to epis-
tolary correspondence and thereby in
crease the postal revenue Of the govern.
ment, remains to he seen.

Panoramic OF Birds Eye View OF Bozo'
man.

We are pleased to know that an artist
has been at work making a pen sketch
Of our thriving and beautiful city, pre-
paratory to having it autographed, and
we take this method Of informing our
friends and patrons that John D. Trim
mcr, agent for the enterprising Autograph
publishing firm of J. J. Stoner, of Mad
ison, Wisconsin, is in town for the pur-
pose of soliciting subscriptions for the
came.
We have had the privilege Of examin-
ing the pen sketch Of Bozeman, and pro-
nounce it very correct copy Of the city,
and as perfect as can be got, giving the
shape and location of every building in
this beautiful little city. 1t verify will
be something worth having, as picture
for our Offices and homes for future ref
erence and to send to absent friends, ETC.,
showing up our city as it is in 1888.
Quite number of cities in Montana
have given liberal support to the enter
prise, and to have Autograph, in style
which we have every reason to believe
they will appreciate and enjoy, and we,
as an improving business town ought not
to let the chance 60 by without securing
good picture of our place. It is local
picture and depends entirely upon local
support and upon the agent exhibiting it
to our citizens. All should subscribe, as
our city cannot afford to permit this en-
terprise to fail tor want ola liberal sup
port.
The price, only So per copy, or two for
S. brings it within the reach of all. This
picture in the style and correctness that
it will be gotten up in, is one Of the
choicest birthplace views that can be
given to children born here, and will be
of priceless value to them in their ma
ture age. We think every family should
have one, for it will certainly be an
ornament to any room and furnish a
ready reference Of our city at any mo-
ment; and to preserve Bozeman in a
picture as it is to-day, is worth more to
the present inhabitants than any future
view can possibly be. It is like the first
picture of our children taken in child
hood, always priced above all others.
Now we say, do not let our town be out
done by our sister towns.
