NOT CLLAR.
A remarK Of Judge Brady of New
York. suggests:
Speech. tho too much of 1t we have,
In various forms, from wisdom dow to CAB;
Yet progress finds it ally in free tongue.
And, there Of, greatness thro' it has Its
lchlefest recognition wrung.
Our new Roman Catholic BishOp.
in u Bozaman sermon upon the
claims of his church, advanced two
argunlents-one based upon the as
sertiOn that miracles are y t per-
formed for her, and another founded
in the fact that she don't wear out.
The Bishop is reminded that IA good
a Catholic as he (Charles the Fifth
once remarked that durability is
not the test of merit"
NARRow-NECKED BOTTLES,
Why is 1t that three quarters of the
artic es put up in bottles, from
oysters to picked oysters, from
brandy peaches to lemon sug II, are
buried in such narrOv-neckeu recep-
tacles that it is almost impossible to
liberate them without smashing the
bottle or gouging them past recogni-
ton with a fork? By the time one
has, by dint of sIapping the
bottom of the bottle a half
an hour or more and jabbing
through its mouth with a stick or the
steel, succeeded in securing a few
ragged, b~e-draggled specimens, he
wonders whether glass was scarce or
the things were sold ito keep" The
narrow. mouthed bottle rage seems
comparatively peculiar to American
purveyors. who appear to think a
man should gain his pickles in the
sweat of dis brow, and that preserves
or condiments scraggled and scrawl-
ed from what holds them with a fork
and at the expense of the third CON-
mandment must be more digestible
than though liberated in good condi-
ton. But by the time disintegra-
ton Of the lemon sugar may have
succeeded the efforts of the lead pen
Gil in a bolt e not admitting y tea
spoon, the summer is ended-and be-
fore the Imprisoned caulifiower e.
capes its narrow confines the dinner
is cold-and patience having had its
perfect work, dams not connected
with bitches are appealed to, and we
guess va don't want the picked
onions anyhow.

it always docs me good" to repeat
the following comments and ALI to
my Democratic friends:
I'm Virginia i'll 1851 q woman was
indicted, tried and sentenced to two
years imprisonment for teaching a
slave to read. The indictment reads
as follows:
And the said -, not having the
fear Of God before her eyes,. but
moved and ins.igated thereto by the
devil. did teach q certain negro wo-
man to read the bible, to the great
disp!easure OF Almighty God, ETC."
POSTAL CARDS.
Isn't it strange the amount Of pri-
vate information people send through
the mails through the medium of |
that vile thing, the postal card? I
picked one up on the street the other |
day which. under the strictest in1unc- !
tons of secresy, informed Hannah's
son with whom Hannah lives) that
HanDah's husband had been drunk |
a week at Cheyenne! How such q
postal card would delight 4 female
postmaster! |
ROYAL FoLITENEss.
We often hear Of royal poIiteness
and knightly courtesy, but it seems |
to me l never came across ANYTHING
more suggestiveIy beautiful than |
this, recorded by Prescott.
1.-THE courtiers would have per-
Ferdinand to offer his hand
for Abdallah to salute in token of
Ferdinand's supremacy. But he re- !
piled, '"Were the King Of Granada
in his own dominion I might; but
not while he is a prisoner In mine.'"
INVENTIVE BozEMANITEs.
We Boaemanites are Incoming in
ventive. The pa,unt office has dur
ing the past year given us mill dog
and q wind W shade and a railroad
spike monopoly. while H. H Hefner
has lately returned from s-lling, for
SIS. 600, a tubular boiler idea prior to
patent, and as l write our Rev. Mr..
Gray appears with the drawings of
new tangled windmill, which he
cyclonicaIly calls, with evident ap-
propriateness, 1.-THE Kansas"
STREET CROSSINGS RIDDLE.
The street crossing riddle agitstes
town, and We are trying three
kinds-four-inch plank, log-and-grav-
Il and stone. The conclusion prom
ses to be that the third is costly, but
comes to stay" that the second is
cheap and nasty and that the
irst will do. We don't know what
Butte has done, but perhaps the
will enlighten us.

A BUTTE SKATIST,
Has anyone told you how Butte

The manner Of mar the was so easy,
