The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1884-03-14

THE citizens of Deer Lodge county, out
side of the county seat, are vigorously oppos.
ing the erection of the projected court house,
and II is likely the enterprise will be aban-
doned. In that event no time should be lost
by the Silver Bow County Commissioners IN
ordering transcript Of the records Of this
county, which are too valuable TO be exposed
10 tho slightest danger Inter Mountain.
The question arises Are the records Of
Silver Bow any more valuable to the people
Of that county than are those Of Deer Lodge
county TO our people? "No time should be
lost" in making them all safe.
The North. West Ne,os, the paper started
in Portland as opposition TO the OregOnian,
has made a failure. II rs estimated the paper
has sunk, In about year and half, some
$4,000. The company recently filed bill
Of sale of It's entire plant TO Nathan Cole,
Sr., of ST. Louis, In consideration of SIT 900,
and two attaches nominally leased and have
been running the paper. The entire plant
was advertised TO be sold without reserve

ted with considerable ability, and would per-
haps have made live Of II had not Portland

GET HEALTH.

No labor. pains, temperance, poverty,
nor exercise, that can gain it, must be
grudged. For sickness is cannibal
which eats up all the life and youth it
can lay hold of, and absorbs its own sons
and daughters. figure it as pale,
wailing, distracted phantom, absolutely
selfish, needless of what is good and
great, attentive to its sensations, losing
its soul, and affecting other souls with
meanness and moring, and with minis
tration to its voracity of triAes. DIR.
johnson said, severely, "Every man is
D rascal as soon as he is SICK" Drop
the cant and treat it sanely. In dealing
with the drunken, we do not affect to be
drunk. We must treat the sick with the
same firmness, giving them, of course,
every aid-but Withholding ourselves.
And the best part of health is fine dis
position. 1t is more essential than tai
emit, even in the works of talent. Nothing
will supply the want of sunshine to
peaches, and, 10 make knowledge valu.
able, you must have the cheerfulness Of
wisdom. Whenever you are sincerely
pleased you are nourished. The joy Of
the spirit indicates it's strength. All
healthy things are sweet-tempered. II

develops the germs of plague in indi-
viduals and nations.

THE WAY 1T STRUCK HER.

When an old maid takes to making
iacetious remarks you can makeup your
mind that her cat is dead, or something
has occurred to demoralizo her aspira-
tions.
Two Of them we're overheard talking
the other day, and one remarked to the
other:
Don't you think Mr.. Briggs must be
remarkably intellectual man? He has
such high forehead"
"Why, his forehead isn't anything
compared to Mr.. Dodd'sl" said her CON-
panion, "for his runs right up over the
crown of his head, swoops down the base
of his brain, and SO on over the back of
his neck to his shirt collar" ...
"Seems to ME" was the retort, "if
what you say is true, 1t must be more
back'rd than for'rd." ... ..

a REBEL AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

About two years ago, just as was
Diminishing party of visitors from the
door of the catacomb, very plain, mod
est-looking man of middle age up
preached and said he had come to see
and learn all he could about the monu-
ment and Lincoln. I proceeded in my
usual way, when visitors are much in
terested, aud completed my explanations
on the terrace in front of the statue OF
the President. From the general bear
ing Of the visitor, 1 should have taken
him for son of an original New En-
gland Abolitionist. When 1 left off
speaking he remained and seemed re-
luctant to take his eyes from the statue
After several minutes spent in silent
meditation he astonished me by saying,
substantially: 81 was asoldier in the
Confederate army, and spent four years
doing my utmost to defeat all that Abra-
ham Lincoln was trying to accomplish.
He succeeded, and / have no regrets on
that account. -re --. -.s.e
The visitor then assumed a tragic at
titude, and, raising his right hand to-
ward the statue, said, with deliberation
and emphasis "He was an infinitely
greater man than George Washington
ever was" With his eyes still fixed on
the statue, and as though his whole soul
was in his words, he continued: "Wash-
ington had no difficulty in determining
who were his friends and who were not.
His enemies were principally on the
water, on the other side OF it, or officers
and soldiers sent here to enforce the
mandates of tyrant. His friends were
his neighbors, who, in addition to their
struggles for existence in q new country,
were oppressed by taxation without rep
resentation. The line was clearly drawn
from the beginning. With Lincoln it
was different His enemies were in
every department Of the Government.
They filed the civil offices, they COM
manded his skeleton of an army, they
trod the decks of his ships, such as they
were. Where they could with impunity
be open, they were bold and outspoken.
Where it was policy, they were willy,
complaisant and cautious. 1t required
two years, or half his first term, to learn
who were friends and who were enemies;
but he was equal to the emergency.
And through it all q little child. could
approach him with perfect confidence,
but the most willy statesman could not
swerve him hairs breadth from what
he believed to be right p .ia ea3
That is what I call eulogy, and if the
author of it was not a thoroughly
reconstructed, rebel, l never expect to
see one. -Cust0dian POWer.

"TES, SIR, I'D SHOOT HIM"

Six or eight congenial spirits sat
around stove in Grand River groce-
ry, and after several other subjects had
been exhausted some one introduced
that of panics in churches, thoaters and
halls. This gave Mr.. Hopewell q chance
to remark:
"Gentlcmen, I do jest long to be
there" w
"Where2" .ti..A..'t.i.'
"Why, in one of those panics. Yes,
sir, I'd give new 800 bill to be in the
theater one night when there was an oc-
casion for panic" $50 Z. q .-3-.
"Why?" af
"Why, because one cool, level-headed
man could stop that sort of thing as east
ly as you could end up that barrel Of
-four"
"Well, I dunno about that" observed
one of the sitters. "There is something
awful in the cry of fire, and hear it when
and where you may it staitIes and fright
ems. What would you do in theater
in case there was a loud cry OF fire and q
rush ?" ',......
"Td stand upon my seat, pull re.
volver from my pocket and shout out
that I'd shoot the first man who at
tempted to crowd or rush. One cool
man would check the panic in ten sec.
onds."
While the subject was being contin.
ned the grocer went to the rear end o.
the store, poured little powder on q
board and gave three or four men the
wink. Directly there was bright flash,
yells of "Fire " Powder and every
man sprapg up and rushed. Hopewell
didn't spring up and talk of shooting.
On the contrary he fell over lot Of
baskets piled between him and the door,
got up to pillow his way over a rack Of
brooms, and when he reached the side
walk he was on an-fours, white as {
ghost and so frightened that he never
looked back until he reached the oppo
site side of the street. Detroit Free

SURPRISE.
DY nERbERT HALL wINsLow.

With mulmurs low, upon the rivers brink,
The restless, aimless waters idly beat;
The grazing cattle droop their heads to drink,
The ripples flowing gently DER their feet;
The hGzy stiffness and the summer air
Make life tender dream, devoid of care.
AL changed and cherries in the wintry wind
That sweeps from shore to shore in sulen mood
Tho river rests, in ghostly shroud confined,
And clustering breezes sing requiem rude
The slow herds shiyering in the fallen snow,
Scatter Its powdered paleness as they go.
And thus in life, winter cod and drear
Fast follows on the summers joyous bloom;
And white We wait, and idly wander here,
Times tocsn sounds some dreaded day of doom;
And starting up, with p'easure-laden mind,
We see the smiling summer far behindl

senseless upon the earth-my last
thought, my last desire being to save
him. Was it all in vainP
When 1 opened my eyes found my.
self in cottage, in the bright glare OF
a turf fire, with crowd of eager aud
frightened sympathizers around, and
Lionel bending, white and anxious, over
me. 1t was enough to know that he
was safe-to cling tightly to him and
feel his strong, protecting arms around
me-and, weak, tired and exhausted, l
tainted again.
1t had been a very narrow escape after
all. Lionel had just reached the top Of
the long hill when he heard my cry,
and, driving hastily back, had found
me, to his great establishment, lying in
sensible, and ,Riheman standing beside
me. Presently, Col. Arbuthnot, who
had followed in hot haste, had come up,
and they had carried me into the cot
;age, wondering greatly what it meant.
And told my story.
Had l been minute later, in all hui
man probability should never in this
world have heard his voice again.
Delaney waited in vain that night,
and whether he guessed or suspected
that his plot had been discovered was
never known, for ere morning dawned
he had fled and succeeded in making
his escape from the country. Lionel
and Col. Arbuthnot did all they could to
have him brought to justice, but in vain
he was never heard of.
We left Ireland before Christmas, for
I could not bear to stay there after all
had gone through, and 1 never wish 10
sec it again. AS for Riaeman, I will
never part with him; the good horse
that carried me 80 well that memorable
night shall have q happy home and end
his days in peace but for him 1 should
never have won that terrible race. wa

THE EXCEPTION ONLY.

Some mothers are ever ready to find
fault with their children, and treat every
hihing slip as constant practice-re-
gard the unlucky exception as the gen.
eral rule-and say, "There you always

70 young persons than this habit of gen.
eralizing any little awkwardnass or
lereliction from duty. Reproof would
lave much more influence for good if
lie act is reprimanded without any ref
mence to antecedents, unless it is the
habit which is the distinct grievance.
