Encouraging.

At the regular monthly meeting OF the
Board Of County Commissioners, held yes
terday, a resolution was introduced ana
carried that the pay OF the Deputy County
CLERK, Deputy County Recorder and Jailer
should cease from and after the 30th DAY
OF November. II will be remembered
that under an Act Of the Legislature the
above named officers were allowed and II
was made obligatory upon the county
Commissioners to pay 500 per month TO
each of the said officers in counties polling
over /, 900 and less than 1900 votes. This
was tested before Judge Bigelow about .
wear ago and was declared constitutions,
since when the deputies have been
receiving their regular salaries. As there
were less than 1000 votes polled In

suggestion.

In view Of the fact that much complaint
has been made by stockmen throughout
the country, that their brands have been
changed, added to and defaced with other
brands, 1t is suggested that the branding
law be amended prescribing that but n
letter, character or figure shall be used in
branding any animal in the future. Such
a law would obyiate all the difficulties
heretofore experienced, would answer all
purposes besides being light punishment
10 animals. Let every stockmsn provide
himself with a new iron with which to
brand all the increase from and after the
passage Of the amendment. III such q
course is pursued, there can be no future
cause for complaining OF running other
brands on animals. Another thing to be
taken into consideration is the use OF what
Is called q running iron in branding cattle.
There should DO a law against this method
Of branding OF venting cattle. II there
we're such q law, then no stockman could
say that another had put his brand on
some other stockman's cattle, for the pur-
pose OF making mischief.

A Silly Prank.

The quotations for Confederate States
bonds which bave been made Of late in the
informal sessions of the San Francisco
Stock and Exchange Board are not gen.
uine. II is a wonder that the Executive
Committee allow jokes of a character
likely to lower the standing OF the Board.
Evening Post.
And the joke is rendered the NOSE seri-
ous from the fact that the quotations we're
printed in the official sheet issued by
authority Of the Board and telegraphed to
all the commercial cities as a record of
genuine transactions. This record cannot
now be ~expunged and cannot be removed
from the archives Of the Board. 1t is the
%silliest piece Of child's play ever perpetrated
by an alleged digniied commercial body,
assuming TO be q great representative OF
the speculative interests of q great Ameri.
can city. The members are entitled to cut
up all the pranks they care to in the
Board. but when they put their nonsense
on the official record Of the Board and
thus proclaim it to the world. they bring
the good name of the city into disreputt
and outrage the business interests Of the
community by making them look ridicu-
lous abroad. II the Board can find nc
better business than dealing in Confederate
bonds for fun, it is about time for it tc
close its doors and lease its building for

Derivation of Tariff.

So much has been said about the tariff
in the campaign which has just closed that
the people will be interested in learning
something of the derivation of the word.
Its origin is not entirely clear. Some
writers trace it to Tsrifs, a seaport town
ON the straits Of Gibraltar, where the
Moors were accustomed to levy tributes
upon the csrgoes of vessels passing in or
out. Archbishop Trench is n of the
authorities for this derivation, which finds
much favor among the free traders. But
the great French dictionary maker, Littre,
says %''tsriff is derived from the Arabic
tariff to make known" Hence, tariff
means a list setting forth or making known
the rates OF tolls on merchandise. In this
view oil the derivation it would appear
that the name of the seaport Tarifa may
have been given to it because tolls were
collected there, and not that the modern
practice of collecting tolls on cargoes takes
the name of tariff from the fact that the
Moors exacted tribute at Tarifa.

Salt Lane Intelligence.


Governor Tritle Of Arizona has the COR
rect idea about the spread Of Mormonism
in that Territory, and his recommendation
that the General Government should do
something to check it deserves attention.
The Mormons, ever since measures were
taken to curb their power in Utah. have
been intent upon colonizing the adjacent
Territories, which are much more remote
from railroad communication. Their aim
has been to secure the political balance Of
power in these Territories and thus dictate
the election of men favorable to their in
terests. Already their steady encroach-
ment in Montana and Idaho has called out
strong protests from the better class OF
residents in those young Territories, and
now Arizona joins in the complaint,

A FRENziED COYOTE.
lt fl Wounded aud Fights 90 the
Death.

Death.
Elko Free Press: Trayer, who drives the
Bullion stage, had quite an adventure with
a wounded coyote On his trip M last
Saturday. Just the other side OF the Hot
Springs he saw a coyote standing in the
road some distance ahead of his team.
Having his rifle with him Traver fred at
the beast and wounded IL in the breast,
also breaking one Of his fore legs. He
then drove up TO where the coyote was
kicking around in the dust Of the road,
and got down from his wagon to finish the
job by knocking Mr.. Coyote in the head.
AS he started around the head Of his team
the coyote made o dash at his nearest
horses leg, which he was about to seize
when met by the heavy boot on Mr..
Traver's right foot. This only seemed to
increase the savageness Of the beast,
which now turned upon the driver,
attempting to get at his throat. Ira
ver's succeeded in keeping it at bay
until he got back into the wagon. He
then commenced to put a cartridge in his
rifle. but had hardly got started when,
happening to look around, he saw the coy
ote upon the wagon, and not two feet from
where he stood, making towards him with
swapping jaws and bloodshot eyes. Not
having time to finish loading, he dubbed
his rifle and by a lucky blow knocked the
beast off the wagon. The coyote again
made the attempt to reach him, but the
gun was soon loaded and its contents sent
into the body of the now thoroughly mad
dened beast. Traver says he don't want
any more wounded coyote. After this
he'll be sure he is dead before he attempts
to give them 9 final send-off with the toe
of his boot.

An Nail.

Much suffering is due to the corners Of
toe-nails growing in the flesh. The remedy
is very simple. 1t is a mistake to M the
nails short at the sore corners; If the nail
is long cut the upper edge straight across,
or in a crescent shape, the crescent in the
center, leaving the corners untouched
Then scrape the middle Of the nail for its
whole length quite thin. The scrsping

readily by the use of a bit Of freshly-broken
window-glass. The center Of the nail
shonld be made 30 thin that q slight
pressure upon the corners will bend Il.

OF champagne, and the largest ever con-
constructed on the Pacific Coast, made a
trial trip yesterday afternoon in the pres
ence of many thousands of people. In
the basket were Prof. Van Tassell. the

sminer, and E. K. Dunlap OF San Jose.
The ascension was q great success, but
owing to a contrary wind, the currents of
which would have carried the balloon out
to the ocean, Van Tassell opened a valve
and lowered it as quickly as possible. The
balloon fell into the middle of Racoon
Straits, near Angel Island, where some
fishermen came to the rescue and saved
both the balloon and the occupants.

The Fourth at Anaconda.

For several years the people of the Upper
Deer Lodge Valley have been having Fourth
of their own. This year, with the help of the
Anacondans, they have surpassed themselves.
Their celebration was held on an island, or
rather several islands, formed by the different
channels of Warm Spring Creek, about two
miles below Anaconda. A prettier spot for the
purpose could not be found in Montana, The
procession was formed at the grounds about $50
a. III. At the head rode the Marshal, D. n
Dickenson, on horseback. Following him in
carriages rode the president of the day, the
orator and the chaplain. Then came the
band wagon. After this came the citizens
riding in carriages and wa ons and bringing
up the rear was large company on horseback
The procession passed through the usual streets
number of the town people, came back to the
grounds. The order of exercises was then
taken up. Music by the band, prayer by the
chaplain, reading of the Declaration by Mr.
c. K Hardenbrook and the Grafton by Hon, J.
W. Forbis. The good people had taken meas.
ures to prevent the stomachs of the assembled
patriots from going empty. Every family had
come with the finest of food and each had
food enough to feed .hree families as large as
their own. Pilgrims and strangers tramps and
beggargs, all alike had as much as they could
eat. Hospitality was limited only by the
capacity of the eaters. AT 3 o'clock the band
began to play in the pavilion aud soon were
begun fantastic trips, which exercises were
kept up until late hour of the night. The
celebration was social success and all enjoyed
themselves 1t was grand patriotic free-snd-
