WARRINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Star
prints the following; !" Mr.. Oasltsls's
friends say that he has not in any way
committed himself - regards the con-
struction Of the House Committees. The
assumption, they say, that certain men
will occupy prominent places ID based
entirely upon their presumed fitness for
the positions, and does not dispose Of the
possibility that Mr.. Carlisle may make
entirely different selections. Tho only
Craftsmanship that it is quite evident is
disposed OF IL that Of the Ways and
Means. The rest are In doubt, to say
the least, and any attempt to name the
personnel Of the committees would be
m assumption which facts would not
warrant The only thing Mr.. Carlisle
has given his friends to understand as
positively settled IL that the Ways and
Means Commit will be placed under
the control OF the new members from
the West, who were elected upon the
tariff issues. This would preclude any
slate made up merely with regard to the
known fitness Of certain old and tried
mem bers.

The choice of surroundings, either for
ourselves or for others, Is one of the
most important means of developing
and improving character. 1t is no
longer y mere matter Of preference
where We live, with whom we spend
our time, what books We read, what
recreation we pursue, what sights We
gaze upon, or what sounds W. hear.
We should choose, a. far Az possible,
not only or always tho most congenisl,
but the most improving, aud such a.
will tend " develop the very points in
which our spa,ia! natures happen to he
lacking. The habits of mind, Of
thought, and Of action that are thus
insen siby but steadily formed are the
materials out Of which character is
built, and upon which rhe value and
the permanent happiness Of each iadt-
vidual depend. Ltf 49,.

For number of years the sign of l..
III. Rosencrans has been hanging before
the harness and saddle shop on the cor
ner of Front and Bond streets; in fact,
it is the pioneer harness shop Of North
ern Montana. But the sign will now
come down, Mr.. VIM. Glassman, for
mer proprietor of the Cheyenne saddle
shop in Helena, having yesterday pur-
chased the business from Mr.. Rosen-
Grams. Mr.. Glassman, who is acknoWl-
edged to be the best mechanic in the
saddle business in the west, has fory years
previous to his coming to Helena been
employed in Cheyenne where the best
saddles in the world are made. He in
forms us that he proposes to sell out the
entire stock now on hand at low figures
within the next 80 days. to make room
for a full line of new goods that has nev.

Foster Heard From.

Billy Foster, the graceless blk who
skipped the town few weeks ago leav-
ing his creditors in the lurch to the tune
of several hundred dollars, sent word
back to VIM. Maurer by party Whosar
rived from the north yesterday to the
effect that he had better get another
partner, as he Foster is doing well and
is not likely to return to Benton. The
change of climate has evidently failed
to soften Fosters cheek in the least.
But he is seasonable in not returning TO
Benton. He had better make his next.
movement in any other direction.

Out of Grub.


Mr.. Horr, the trader at the Blackfeet
agency, who has been IN the city few
days disposing of a band of thorough
bred horses, informs us that Agent
Young is running short of grub, and
this week gave out to the Indians the
last of the flour. The noble Ied men
were not very well pleased with the
prospect, and Major Young, in prder to
have them realize the situation Of af-
fairs, conducted them through the emp
ty warehouses and showed them how
impossible it was for him to supply their
wants when the great father at Wash
ington failed to do his part. But Z. c.
Power & Bro. loaded two or three teams
with flour for the agency few days
ago, and by this time doubtless the fear
of famine has passed away.
