Josh Billings is said to be the best !

Josh Billings is said to be the best paid
writer in the land, and produces The orst
nonsense. He told a New York cores
pondent recently that he received $500
for a twelve line proverb from n New
York mercantile house that wanted it to
print upon an advertisement Many of
his best things are disposed of in this
way. AS he was an auctioncer and with
out a dollar till nearly threescore years
old, he is not above pcddling ont his work
at the best figure now. He is rich. drives
fine team. and is as kindly and gentle as
girl 1t is to his credit that he cannot
see why his nonsense is so popular and
profitable. and, with Barnum, he believes
that the world likes Ia be humbugged.
He receives more money for most of his
proverbs than Longfellow ever did for Ii
poem, and larger edition of his almanac
is sold each year than was ever published
of Bancrofts history. As Carlyle said.
The world is inhabited by 800, 600, 900
of people. mostly fools.

When jealous man kills his rival and
his sweetheart he does very wicked and
bloody deed, but when he follows up
the double murder by taking his own
life, the last act rather commends itself to
our appreciation. BY the laws of most
of the states, the man who commits
murder is considered proper subject for
the hangman's halter, and the community
willingly pays the expense of his trial
and execution.
Hiram Snellniss, at Cedar Hill. Mo,
killed young man and young woman
on their way home from church, on Snn-
day, because he had been courting the
girl himself He ended the horrible
tradegy by blowing out his own brains,
50 that the country will be saved heavy
bill of costs. Every man who commits
a murder ought to follow the example of
the jealous Missourian. and end his own
worthless career with shotgun.

Livingston and White Sulphur Springs
Rna1.

Livingston and White Sulphur Springs
We extract the following from the
Rocky Mountain Husbandman. 1t needs
no comment az its tone is as cordial and
its language as expressive as we could de
| sire:
The town of White Sulphur Springs was
visited last week by committee of enter
prising gentlemen, Geo. N. Smith, Geo. J.
Babson and Frank Bush, of the railway
metropolis, Livingston. Messrs. Babson
and Bush were appointed by the citizens
of their town to come to Smith river to see
what was here and make an estimate On
the cost of putting the wagon road in first
class repair, and to confer with our citi
zens in regard to securing the most friend
ly relations between the two points. MIR.
Smith was delegate to confer with our
people in regard to the establishment OF
mail service and the erection of tele
graph and telephone line. They received
a very cordial reception and none but the
most friendly sentiments were exchanged
Livingston is without question the freight
point for White Sulphur Springs. This
we may consider is already established
and with telegraph and mail will be
come the passenger point also. Since
Livingston is the junction of the Park
branch of the Northern Pacific, and will
be thronged with visitors, tourists, etc., for
Wonderland it is absolutely necessary to
connect it with the Springs by fast line
of coaches, as but few who go to see the
wonders of the Park will be willing to
return to their eastern home without a
taste of the healing waters of White Sui
phur Springs, the greatest panacea of
human ills yet discovered. Messrs. Smith,
Bush and Babson are live enterprising
gentlemen, and represent wide awake
and thoroughly business people who will
leave nothing undone calculated to
strengthen the relation between Livines
ton and the Springs, and it is to our inter
est to cooperate with them in the mos,
cordial manner, as the interest of the two
points are one, each can be of great ad
vantage to the other. There will be hun
dreds Of thousands Of pounds Of wool to
go to the railroad by this route, and in
another year when the Montana mines are
more fully developed, steady stream OF
bullion will lead off in the same direction,
while the supplies for all these industries
and the thousands who will in few years
sojourn at the healing fountains, must also
come BY the same ronte. We are glad to
welcome Liyingston's enterprising business
men to our town, and trust they will come
again.
