It appears that Nagle and the man whom he killed had contract on mine at Butte, Montana, and had number of men employed. Nagle's partner drew $500 for the purpose of paying off the hands, but instead of doing 30, mounted horse and skipped out As soon as Nagle heard of it he mounted his horse and fol- lowed in pursuit, ovsrhauling his man some distance from Butte, and at once demanded that he give up the money or return and pay the men. For answer the fellow drew his gun and commenced shooting Nagle returned the fire and killed his man at the first shot, and taking the money from the dead mans pocket rode back to town and paid off the men, When the facts in the affair became known Nagle received quite an ovation at the hands of the miners, and is now the most popular man in Butte. At the preliminary examination before a mag lstrate he was honorably discharged. He has position in the sherifPs office iii Butte, and so popular has he become among the miners and others that he is strongly talk ed of for that position at the coming cleo tion

Democratic enthusiasm in the East is in a condition that is anything but en- couraging to the management of the G. o. P.
 The Democratic vote without the Irish vote, says the Omaha Bee, is like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. Some of the dissatisfied Democrats say that Cleveland is very little known. It appears to us that he is pretty well known in and about Buffalo. Tom Hendricks favored the liberal land grants to the Northern Pacific R. R while United States Senator in 1864. Thomas should be mum" as to land grab ping schemes.
 The Chicago Herald says: Mast and his old Democratic tiger seem to be get ting along very nicely together. But perhaps the animal is only waiting for the artist to get 2 little fatter This is the fifth time the would be-in- power Democracy have added the Gre form dodge to the tail of their ticket Every man they have put up has been claimed as reformer.

Draper's Conflict between Science and well as instructive books in the Interna- Jional Scientific Series, published by Ap- pleton & Go. It IS not, as many suppose, an argument against religion, except SO far as religious teachings are in antagOniSm to science, philosophy and reason. He begins with the religious condition of the Greeks in the fourth century before Christ, and shows how the Macedonian campaigns led to the establishment in Alexandria of an Institute for the cultivation of knowledge. Hereiscience began, and is traced in this book, side by side with the various religions of the heathens, Jews, Mohamidans, and Christians down to our day At first, Science, in its infancy, was too weak to cope with the religious bigotry of the times, and it's devotees were often punished and even put to death, but in the end sci ence in every contest has finally sustained itself, not as triumph over religion, for that it does not seek, but in establishing truth and securing its recognition. Where revealed religion is in conflict with scien- tifc truth, Mir. Draper gives fact the pref erencs over mystery. The existence of one God, the creator and ruler of all things, as taught by the Jewsi and MOhamidans, is given greater prominence in the argument than the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, and yet all are treated with fairness, even to the motherhood of God, which does not seem to strike the writer with as much force as it did the members of the Council of Trent
 The main object of the book seems to be to clear away the vast amount of rubbish that has in the more ignorant ages of the world attached itself to religion, in order that the two, religion and science, may march hand in hand to the accomplishment of greater good.

A LADY's TALK ABOUT DAKOTA.
She Thinks Woman In That Territory
is Six Times BETTER on Than m MINI,

She Thinks Woman In That Territory
is Six Times Better on Than n Man.
Miss c. l.. Cleveland, who has become
famous as the first lady lawyer admitted to
the bar of Dakota, delivered lecture on
that territory last night at Lincoln hall.
Miss Cleveland has good delivery and talks
in conversational way that is entertaining.
The first part of her talk was description of
her carly experiences in Dakota and COM
parison Of its past and present. The fertility
of the soil and its valuable resources were
alluded to. Northern Dakota was de-
nounced as tho land of monopolists,
the immense railroad grants in that Sec
tion tending to monopoly. Southern Dakota
was praised as the poor mans home. The
omigrant of recent years was spoken of, as
also the method of taking up Ian dis. Young
women were advised to go west. There they
can make their own calling, and their chances
in any employment as against mans are six
to one in her favor. In concluding, southern
Dakota was pictured in beautiful language
as the paradise of the poor and Industrious, and
the efforts Of her people to raise themselves
into prominence, and to be surrounded with
the advantages common to their countrymen
in the east. Schools were needed, and with
them university, in order that the youth of
the territory might be properly trained.
