THE prohibitionistsof of the country claim
that the outlook is favorable in many
States for the adoption CONSTITUTE nal
amendments prohibiting the manutac-
ture and sale of alcoholic beverages. The
constitutional movement has been agita-
ted In twenty-one States. In Kansas 1t
has been consummated Iowa passed
1t through two Legislatures and ratified 1t
by 10000 majority, but the amendment
was killed by its clerical errors. Maine
mas passed a constitutional amendment
through the Legislature, and it wants a
popular vote. In Oregon one Leglsla-
ture has acted favorably, and second
'he Is to take action in the matter. Ohio
passed it through her Legislature, and
lost IT before the people. In Texas,

Gardens OF THE Sen.

Among the many curious analogies
born of modern investigation, none are
more interesting than those showing
striking cases of parallelism in the habits
and customs Of animals whose environ
ments are totally dissimilar. The ocean
bed seems pcopled with forms SO re-
sembling those of land that modiica-
tion of structure to conform with their
surrounding alone appears to be the
point of difference. In drifting over the
reefs of our southern border this resem-
blance between the creatures of land and
ser is extremely striking. The gardens
of the lower world abound in lavish
growth; trees, shrubs, waving vines, are
all reproduced in the wondrous forms of
the sea. Here forest of coral branches
(5iadrepOra) raise their myriads of
bristling points, each fiowered by a deli
cate polyp, and presenting rich olive
green tint in contrast to the deep blue
of the channel upon whose banks they
grow. Pure as crystal, the water seems
to intensity the beauty of the objects,
even in the greater depths; gayly be-
decked fishes move lazily about, rising
and falling among the living branches,
poising, perhaps, to pluck some morsel
from limb, in all their motions remind.
ing us of the birds Of the shore. These
gorgeous parrot-hshes are the sun-birds
0f the sea; wondrous tints-azure blue,
golden yellow, and red-mark them.
Some appear iridescent and bathed in
metallic tints as if encased in FURNISHED
armors, while many more in nodes
garb, found in our cooler waters of tn,
North, call to mind the robin and thrush
those welcome harbingers of spring
But it is not in their color alone tina
the fishes resemble the birds; it is in tn
home life and love of offspring that W
find close resemblance. Many ar
pest-builders, erecting structures as com
picated as those of the birds and equal

FIT. MAGINNIs, Feb. 10Th, 1884.
EDITORS ARGUS The Post has been
very quiet since K Troops ball, and
nothing of any note has occurred to
break the monotony.
Col Broadwater made the post u visit
last week. His stay was brief.
Col. Baker is again in command here,
and Capt McAdams has returned to
his duties with K Troop. While we all
regret to lose Capt McA., as our Post
Commander, still we welcome the GAL
liant Colonel back with open arms.
Lieut.. Brett, our genial Adjutant,
has gone over to junction with DIR.
Stone. The latter gentleman has been
in the Post but short time, during
which, everyone who has come in con-
tact with him has learnt to recognize
his high merits, both social and profes-
sional We were surprised and shocked
to hear that his wife, to whom he had
been welded but few months, had
died. Her de 18th is the sad cause of
the Dr's sudden journey east.
Lieut.. Rucker has gone over to ASSN
aboine OH visit.
The telegraph line is still down in
spite of the indefatigable efforts of the
operator in charge, who has just re-
turned from a futile endeavor to locate
the trouble.
There are rumOrs of the approaching
marriage of one of our local bellies with
a promising young n. G. o., whose fame
still shines brightly in the histrionic
annals of the garrison.
Through the kindness of Col. Baker
and Capt MacAdams, the employees of
the Collar Co. have been rendered such
aid as will enable them to tide over the
hard times for while.
1t is with pleasure we announce the
return of Mrs. Gurnsey, our old time
resident of the Post.
We understand that cards are out for
the approaching nuptials of our tonso-
rial artist and embriO millionaire, Mr..
Z. G. DeFrate, but as this is merely u
rumor, we do not like to give publicity
to the lady's name. We will content
ourselves with saying she is nice
(grass) widow of from 10 to 80 or there
abouts.
Capt. MacAdams and the members
of his Troop regret the loss Of p of the
old horses which have aided him to
gain for the Troop the fame it now
possesses. They will be sold at auction
on the 22d inst. We hope they will
find kind purchasers, as their long and
faithful services entities them to good
treatment. &C.

1t is well authenticated fact, that

should be allowed to remain at home

emn fact that there are parents in this

OUR HELENA LETTER.
HELENA, Feb. sth, 1884.

HELENA, Feb. Sth, 1884.
EDITORS MINERAL ARGUS:
The Constitutional Convention will
close its labors tomorrow evening,
Saturday. On some subjects there
has been a great diversity of opinion,
notably on that of prohibiting railroads
and other common carriers from giving
passes, and state, county and other
public officers from receiving them.
One party claiming that it was n matter
for the Legislature to deal with, the
other that it was good enough to put
into the fundamental law, and after a
long struggle the latter party prevailed.
Another subject of contention was tax
ing mines; one party advocating tax
ing the net proceeds only-which is the
law at present-the other claiming that
all property ought to be assessed at its
true value, and the mining interests,
after another long struggle, prevailed.
There was also contention about
putting God, or rather acknowledging
the goodness of some unseen being
in the preamble. One party claiming
that the United States had grown to be
a great nation through the efforts of
her own citizens, without help from
the gods or any recognition of their
existence, in the constitution or in
the Declaration of Independence; the
other party setting mum. Only three
delegates, viz. Col. Galway, of Madi-
son and the two from your county, had
the independence to vote according to
their own convictions.
On the whole it has been q hard
working body but whether the Consti-
tuition, the result of their hbors, will
be adopted by the people, remains to
be seen. 1t is still II marvel to your
correspondent where all the money
comes from that is spent here. There
appears to be extravaganza everywhere,
in dress, in living, in homes, etc, and
nothing is more noticeable than the
forwardness of the young. Fifty years
ago, we sat and listened to our elders,
now we sit and listen to our children,
Our forefathers ruled the household.
Now our children perform the same.
