The proposition of DR.. Ipgleby re-

to trustees of the sepulcher, however,
it was ascertained that the remaines
could not be exhumed or disturbed
without the consent of The Mayor and

this a. M, the Exposition building
caught fire and in twenty minutes,
the structure, with machinery and
floral hall were in ashes. The fire was
first discovered In the engine room in
the machinery department, and in
order not to Brighten citizens tele-
graph alarm was sent in and in this
way flames got beyond control, SO that
before the fire department reached the
grounds, the buildings were almost
burnt down. When it became known
that it was the exposition, although
it was so late, immense crowds were
on their way to the scene of the con-
flagration. The reflection from the
fire lighted up the country for miles
around, and in farthest end of the city
apaper could be read as easily as in
day light. Al this hour it is impossi-
BILE to estimate the loss, but it is be-
lieved that it will not be below
$2,5O0.OOO. Exhibits consisted of all

THE PENITENTIARY.

The attempts to escape recently
made by several prisoners
confined in the penitentiary at Deer
Lodge and the attack lately made by
some of them upon one of the guards
with the evident intention of effect
ing a wholesale Jail delivery, raises
questions as to the security of the
building and the suf1iciency of the
guards. We understand there r Sc
prisoners in the penitentiary who are
confined in three separate buildings
which are enclosed by a common
board fence which can be easily
kicked down by any one of the des-
perate prisoners. The buildings
themselves are not regarded as secure
against the assaults of the
confined men. In evidence of
this it is stated that in the
their recent attempt to escape the
prisoners cut through three partition
walls within the space of fifteen min
utes. It is also stated there are but
five men employed to guard all these
prisoners night and day and that in
consequence Of.Atheir unremitting
vigils the men are completely worn
out. 1t is further represented that
there is a howitzer and several stands
of arms within the prison yard,
which could be captured in case the
prisoners ever succeeded in over
pewering the guards, and that with
these arms they could, if they desired
to raid the town, make it lively for
the citizens to defend it.
In view of the condition of affairs
as above stated and better to protect
the people of the Territory from the
presence of the desperate characters
in his charge, Warden Botkin applied
last week to Governor Crosby for ad-
ditional guard force. The request,
understand, was refused. Why
it was refused we have been unable
to learn. His Excellency must be
fully posted concerning the number
of prisoners in the penitentiary, the
of that building and the
number Of men employed as guards.
Hence considerable surprise has been
manifested at his refusal to increase
allow to be increased the force at
the Warden's command. The neces-
sity of such increase cannot be ques-
toned and Governor Crosby must be
blind if he cannot see 1T The care
and custody of these prisoners is be-
a matter of grave concern to
the people of the Territory and in
the event of a successful attempt by
these ~penitentiary birds for liberty
some one will be held to a strict &C.
countability for it and they will not
be the overworked guards at Deer

This Is an intimation which may
ha"ea double meaning. 1t indicates
that the Legislature has hitherto

What We Have Borrowed from
the Indians.

The May Century contains the
fourth of Edward Eggleston's papers
on American Colonial History, emit
tied. 1.-THE Aborigines and the Colo
nists." DR.. Eggleston has made
wide and special study o f1ndian life,
and among the novel conclusions ne
has reached, some of the most curious
r. late to the indebtedness OF the
white settlers to the Indians. Not
only did the white men get tobacco
from this source, but with 1t they
borrowed the custom of smoking by
the roadside in token OF friendship
which was formerly ~interdicted by
the Puritan law-givers. The art OF
making maple sugar and the culture
of the maize were learned from the
savages, who planted the corn in
hills, grew beans around the stalks,
and filled the intervening space with
pumpkin vines, and Old-fashioned
farmers do yet. The great factories
of fish manure along the northern
coast are tracked to the adj
vice of an Indian given to the
pilgrims to put a fish in every
hill of corn. Hominy, samp, supaun
and pone are Indian words, and
there is hardly an approved method
of cooking maize that the Indians
did not know; even the western hoe
cake and the southern ash-cake were
made by the squaw. Mats, baskets
and shoes were made from corn husks
by the savages, and from them white
men took the hint of using husks for
clair-Dottoms, h~erse-collars, etc.
Their bark house Vas used as a tenn
porary place of abode by settlers in
every colony, and it's tradition still
fingers in the bark camp of the Adj
rondack sportsman. The canoe and
dug-out. which played a part in
colonial life, and which are still used,
were borrowed from the savages. The
corn-husking ''bee" and the house,
raising assemblages were Indian GUS
toms. The device of using hot stones
to heat water in a barrel at hog-kill-
ing time-a custom very common
yet in the Mississippi valley-was
adapted from the Indian method OF
cooking food. The first Virginia set
tiers early learned from the savages
to eat the meat of the snake, and a
hundred years after the settlement
rattlesnakes were regarded as a great
delicacy by some of the planters.
