Maud S. the Queen Of the Tnrf.

MAUD >. the queen OF the Tnrf.
On Tuesday of this week Robert Bon
ner's mare Maud S. trotted at Woodburn
farm, Lexington, Kentucky, where she was
bred, to beat her own record of 2:O9a.
The track was not in best condition as it
had frozen and thawed several times which
is believed to take the elasticity out of the
ground. Bair drove her as he has done
these many years. The first quarter was
made in 32s the half in 1 :O4 the three
quarters in l 81 and at the full mile the
judges stopped their watches at e:O94,
though majority of the outside watches
registered 200. On the last quarter she
was followed by running horse attached
to sulky. The 2.094 is three quarters of
second better than ever done by any
other horse.

Assistant Postmaster General Crosby.

Assistant Postmaster-GeneralC Crosby.
On Monday President Arthur appointed
John Schuyler Crosby, governor ef Mon
tana, to be first assistant postmaster-gen
eral. This Office Gov. Crosby has been
interceding for ever since Frank Hatton
was promoted from the position to the
postmaster-generalship. The salary is
$4,000 per annum against $4,000 as gov
ernor Of this territory. The difference in
salary is presumably enough to make him
choose the former place, but it is probable
that the main reason is the fact that he
will feel more at ease among the city of
office holders-Washington-than in Mon
tana where he was so mercilessly CRITICS.
ed and guyed. 1t becomes matter for
speculation as to who will take the vacant
office Of governor of Montana. Secretary
John S. Tooker will remain acting govern
or until an appointment is made,
Since his appointment Gov. Crosby tel
egraphed citizen of Helena: II shall
return next summer to Montana where l
shall retain my business interests and ever
do all l can to aid in the development of
the great resources of the territory. Pre-
sent my salutations to my friends, for
whom l shall ever retain the warmest re-
gard for their many acts of kindness and
loyalty.
A Washington telegram says: "Gov.
Crosby rode over from New York Satur-
day night with President Arthur in his
special car in company with Attorney
General Brewster, and the appointment it
is said was one of the pleasant incidents
Of the journey. Gov. Crosby is we'll
known at the capital, and his administra-
hon is spoken Of with cordial expecta.
tions."
Washington telegram, 18th: Washing
ton comment is not Aattering to the presi-
lent upon the appointment of j. Schuyler
Crosby Of Montana to be first assistant
postmaster general. The objection is be-
cause he, without any training for the Of
ice, was appointed over department chief
;lerk Walker, and Mari, chief clerk to the
irst assistant, both Of whom are veteran
employees. Crosby took the oath of Office
o-day and entered upon his duties.

Gov. Cr0sby's Report.

Gov. CrOsby's Report.
Gov. Crosby, of Montana, in his annua
report estimates the increase of the popu
lation of the Ter ritory during the year a
1000 and the present population at abou
$4,000. He says the cattle now in tn
territory number over 100000, and tn
value of the taxable property (which, III
says, does not represent one-fourth of tn,
wealth of the territory is between $50,
100000 and $50, 100000. In other di
rectlons Montana is steadily increasing il
the value OF her material resources anC
she will. at an early day, apply for admis
sion into the Union as a state. The an
nouncement of the discovery of gold in
| the Little Rockies, near the heart of the
great northern Indian reservation, 100
miles southeast of Fort Assinaboine, has
drawn hundreds to that locality, and the
Governor gives it as his opinion that il
would be unwise to attempt to prevent
the intrusion of the whites.
A large portion Of the report is devoted
to the Indian question. The Governor ia
vors reduction in the size of the Indian
reservations. He thinks that few thou
sand Indians should not be allowed to oc-
cupy an area equal to that of large
State, when they do not use it, and when
their occupation prevents its settlement by
the whites. He advises concentration n
OF the Indians on smaller reservations.
and recommends that they be taught to
become self-supporting. The Governor
also objects to tie present policy which
permits the Indians to lease their lands
for grazing purposes, on the ground that
it opens the way for large corporations
and spectators to get footing on these
reservations, to the disadvantage of bona
fide settlers, who would be glad to pur-
chase small farms if the reservation was
open to settlement. OF the present con-
ditlon of the Northern Indians in Mon
tana, the Governor says that although ra-
tions were supplied them, they are in a
deplorable condition and he fears that
many of them will die during the coming
winter. He calls attention to the continu-
ed slaughter of game in the Yellowstone
Park. He describes the late superintcnd
ent of the Park and his assistants as en-
tirely worthless and about as competent
10 discharge their duties properly as
Sioux Indian would he to run a locomo-
hive. He recommends the appointment
of experienced woodnen to take care of |
The Park, and suggests that company of
he U. s. Cavalry be detailed as guards
'or its bfrders, which are now the resort
If escaped prisoners.
Much space was devoted by the Cover
'or to the cattle question. He says the
Canadian officials and the Dominion press.

Who fear diversion of their business, have
nali.g,ned AMI outrageously attacked the
'ealth of Wyoming and Montana cattle,
nd all movements on the part of our
tockmen toward obtaining a market
re bitterly opposed.
In conclusion, he recomends that no
Mormons he allowed to pre-
mpt lands. He thuks this prohibition

uisnlng the overshadowlng evil of Nor

Erie Dispatch.

Colonel J. A. Eye, of Bradford,
who commanded brigade at the
Wilderness before he was 81 years of
age, tells this pleasant little story Of
his courtship. II had been shot in
several places, = he said, land carried
an arm in a sling when came home
to recruit. OF course I was a hero
and was lionized. A ball was ar
ranged In my honor, and among the
bright-eyed damsels who attended it
was one who seemed to me ideal the of
womanhood. 1t was case OF love
at first sight and was reciprocal.
When / came to make her acquaint-
ance, however, found that she was
a highstrung little rebel. She be-
lieved with her people that q darby
was no more than stick OF wood
or piece Of putty. One day / said
to her: See here, | can't stand this;
If we are going to be married you
must make a contract with me; you
must agree to be a Republican, She
was silent for while, while her
cheeks blazed. Then she seemed to
soften down, and she said, quite low.
but clear: I'LL do 1t, IL you join my
church, She was an EpiScOpalian,
and agreed. 1t was the best con-
tract ever made In my life. She
has made the best Republican in all
Pennsylvania, and / have made
well, the church costs me $500 q
year."
