Arab Women.

An American couceiyes the idea of
the complete .nloriority and seciusion
of the Arab women Those whom we
sec ina the streets belong entirely TO the
lower class, who are driven by neces-
sitv to buy their own bread. The bet
ter class never leave their houses.
Sometimes they visit their neighbors
by walking over the llat roofs that
unite the buildings, but their faces are
never to bc seen; they live in the apart
ments which surround the inner court
and divert themselves with music, adj
miring their jeweIry, and eating sweet
meat Deprived thus of all exercise,
they become very large and gross.
Coming from a country where women
fill the churches, il is strange to see
that here their presence is never al
lowed IN a mosque; but when we re-
member they are said to have no souls,
the prohibition becomes more natural
| have heard q modification CD OF that
theory. which is that their souls be-
long to their husbands, These beliefs
leave one in g ''strait betwiNt two.
There is an outing for the common
class OF women; every Friday after
noon they are allowed to visit the Gem
ctcry, ON the outskirts of the town.
Here they meet for gossip, to com
pare ornaments, aud cat candies, no
man is allowed to enter the grounds at
these times; and in the presence Of the
dead the women are safe from the jeal-
uusy OF their husbands

Important Cattle Sale.

IB
One of the most important sales Of
stock cattle that has been made in Gal
latin county was that contaminated by
Mr.. Charles Anceney, neal Hamilton,
the other day. The sale comprises his
entire herd except the beef steers, and
will number, perhaps, between twelve
and thirteen hundred head. The price
agreed upon is $50 per head. including
yearlings, and the sale will aggregate
$50, 900 to $4,000. Mr.. Anceney, as al
most every one in the county knows,
has been an enterprising and successful
stock raiser, and has done more towards
infusing good blood into and improving
the breed Of cattle than any other man,
perhaps, in Montana; and he has now
and is now reaping the reward Of his
pains and labor. This important sale,
of course, only represents a small part
Of the money he has realized from his
business, because he has annually, for
several years past, disposed of consider
able stock at almost fancy prices. This
and other sales indicate in part the
success of some OF our old-timers, and
show c~onclusively that stock raising in
Montana, when accompanied by intel
ligence, enterprise and industry, is a re-
markably profitable business.-Avant

The G. P. Route.

The RIVER PRESS has frequently
called the attention Of our stockmen to
the advantage of shipping their beeves
east by the Canadian Pacific route, the
drive to that railroad being a much easier
one and the rates through in all proba-
bility less than by any other route, all
things considered. We were informed
Thursday by Mr.. Belcher-a represen-
tative Of that road who is here looking
after its business interests, and who is
prepared to give rates on stock through
fo any eastern market-that they are
ready to take cattle through in first class
condition and on quick time. They
have feeding stations at intervals along
the; line. the very best Of stock cars and
in ali other respects are prepared to give
entire satisfaction. Stock can be

What a Stockman Says About It.

Fort BENTON, July II, 1884.
Editors Of River Press
I wish to say to the stockmen Of Mon
tana, as / have already taken consider
able interest in encouraging this cattle
trail and trying to reduce the high
tariffs charged by the Northern Pacific
railroad, that now is the time. If we
have any cattle to ship, to talk business.
But if we hold off and don't speak for
ourselves we can rest assured of being
robbed of all there is in the shipping of
our cattle to market.
Mr.. Belcher, the agent Of the Canad-
ian Pacific r. r. is in Fort Benton, and
wishes you to communicate with him
in regard to handling your cattle from
Maple Creek to Chicago. He says that
they have all the modern Improvements
such as are used in handling cattle in
the eastern states and Canadas, but sell
dom in use in our western country /;
that they now have their road in the
best of order, and mean business, and
must have their share of our trade.

Another Big Cattle Deal.

During his recent %sojourn in this city
Mr.. j. r. Craig, of the Oxley Rancho
company, purchased Of I. G. Baker s.
Go. the 1900 head of young cattle ship
ped by that firm from the states to Ma
pie creek. AT the time the cattle were
purchased they were being driven from
Maple creek to the Marias, and were
turned over to Mr.. Craig a short distance
this side of the line, and thence started
On the drive to the company's range
near Fort Macleod. The sale was made
here by Mr.. @. E. Conrad in about half
an hour after the subject was preached
between him and Mr.. Craig, although it
involves a good many thousand dollars.
This band will be, we believe. the first
lot of pilgrim" cattle of any consider
able number brought into the Northwest
territory, and Mr.. Craig's experiment
will be watched with much interest.

WOOL GROWERS OF MONTANA.

We have been engaged in the wool commission
business in Chicago since 1861; have an extensive
acquaintance with manufacturers and dealers both
east and west. and think our facilities for handling
and selling wool equal to those of any wool house in
the country.
We are making a specially of Montana woods, hav-
ing found them superior both in grade and condition
to any western wool coming to our market.
Chicago is a cash market, which enables us to
make quick sales and prompt returns to our GUS
toners.
We will advance two-thirds of the market value on
wool consigned to us, at seven per cent. per annum.
Our charges are one cent per pound for selling,
which covers all expenses to the shipper, except
freight, carriage and interest.
We refer by permission to A. W. RaWson, plresl-
dent of the Union Trust Co. Bank, Chicago; Major
Wallace, Utica, Montana; Hatch Bros, Big Elk,

HORSE STEALING EXTRAORDI-
NARY.
r. zone Hundred Head Stolen From the Set
tiers on the Lower Teton.

Polite Pepion, a rancher on the Teton,
arrived in the city Saturday morning
bringing the startling information that
during the night about 100 head Of
horses were stolen from the settlers in
that valley, and run Oft in the direction
of the Marias. AS well rs could be as
certained John Galbraith, Polite Pepion,
George MCGEE, e. Is. Caldwell and id.
WeaIherwax are the victims of this
daring raid, losing from six to forty
head each. No clue whatever was had
! as to the identity of the thieves, but the
conclusion was at once jumped at that
they were Cree Indians, Us these Cana
dian reds hardly ever fail to make an
lannual raid-af-this~ehagacteg
ITeton.j A warrant was sworn out before
Judge Tattan, and during the afternoon
Jim Bender, as deputy for Sheriff Nc
Dewitt, and Messrs. Galbraith and Pep
ion, started on the pursuit. Col. Cop
pinger at Fort AssinaDoine was notified
of the theft and he promptly sent out
detachments to head OF the rascals il
possible.
Until the Fort A%ssinaboine coach ar
rived no one seemed to doubt but that
the Crees were the authors Of this bold
piece of work, but the information
brought by Jim Clark, the driver, puts
dlOVllC q IL LAS A1ANASA IVAN ~
it is considered certain that the thieves
are white men. Three men were seen
at the Marias yesterday with a band of
about that size, and after culling out the
poorest animals THY took the pick Of
the band and crossed the Missouri near
Three Islands, about four miles below
the Marias. There is no reason to doubt
that these are the stolen animals and at
least one of the pesky thieves is known.
AS soon as he learned these facts Sher-
iii McDevitt dispatched a courier after
the pursuing party to notify them. and
also TO have them secure the horses that
were left. If these prove to belong to
the Teton the fact will be fully proven
that the whites are the thieves and steps
to appreheud them will be taken accord
ingiy. |
John Galbraith, it will be remember1
ed, had MS horses stolen last season, and|
the season before, by Indians, but suc-l
ceeded in recovering most of them after
great trouble and expense. This makes
the third deal he has had, and it is a
pretty hard one for him.
Horse thieves have been operating ex-
tensively in other portions OF the terri
tory during the year, but this is the first
raid of any consequence in Choteau
county. IT the rascals are caught it is
safe to say they will not steal any more
horses.

A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

When the electric telegraph was first
proposed to the Government it was re-
iscted, for the "exhaustive reason that
it would not be wanted in time of peace,
while the samsphore did all that was
required in time of war. Since then,
however the electric telegraph has itself
been found insufficient. In time of war
the electric telegraph is supplemented by
fire signals, lamp-signals, and by a very
elaborate system of flag. signaling and the
want seems to he felt, since expression has
been given to it in many quarters, OF an
international or interiingulstic code Of
signs for foreigners unable to communicate
with one another by word of mouth. In
an interesting contribution to the National
Rerielc on the wild tribes of the Sierra,
Miss Gordon Cummings tells ua-frst, that
every tribe has language OF its own,
known only to its members and next,
that "the curse OF Babel would weigh
heavily on the great Indian nation were 1t
not for silent language of signs which is
used by all alike. 1t is frequently used
even in family parties, or while on the
march, or on hunting expeditions. or at
other times when silence is deemed desir-
able" 1t is quite as clear as the methods
of communication used in deaf and dumb
asylums, and more "rspid, as certain signs
are used to express whole phrases and sym
bolical ideas" White men who have be-
come intimate with the Indians say that if
a stranger could steal unawsres near an In
dian camp he might we'll marvel at the
occasional bursts of laughter while not a
voice was to be heard yet every individ-
usl gathered around the camp fire is all
the while drinking in some very interest
ing story related by one OF their number
in the sign language" Now this is just the
sort Of sign language that is wanted for
universal use.-[St. James Gazette.

TIE MYSTIC LIGHTS CT GALLOWAY.

In letter by David Newsom, of Csld-
well, Mo-, to the Fulton Gazette, he says,
concerning the mysterious lights of that
region | send you a description of
"sight seen by my son Robert on last
Saturday night, about | | o'clock, one and
one.q quarter miles east of my place, on the
foothills of the Middle Auxvasse creek,
not far from where was once Geo. Thomas
water mill. The night was clear and he
was riding alone, when of a snddeu he no.
ticed it was growing light, which continued
to increase. At this point his mule stopped
short, raised his head and refused TO pro-
coed, and Bob, on raising his head, noticed
the light was descending in the tops of the
| bushes thirty or forty feet from him that
1t seemed te descend upon the limbs Of the
| bushes and settle in bale, the largest of
which were the size of mitigation cup,
and shone with white light, and would
| hang on to the limbs and stream down two
feet long to sharp point, like stalactite,
and would continue TO settle on down to
| lower limbs and form IN same way as above
described. which they continued to do I'M.

one-half minute or more, until they slowly
disappeared. There were some eight or ten
of these large white balls, which were
about two feet apart and occupying the
center of a circle, while on the outer part
of the circle the lights or balls were small
las large as goose eggs and of deep.blue
color, and blending in color from white in
the center to blue on the circumference.
There were about twenty of these smaller
blue lights. After settling on the ground
the lights on the circumference slowly
grew smaller and faded out, and the larger
lights in the center weakened in size and
slowly blued off and died away, as the
ones on the circumference had done. The
entire diameter of the circle occupied by
the light and blue balls was, lie says,
twenty feet.
