A Glendale "Reminiscences .


f..af"".E DHVH 1FtouHey ~Daas
The old log building formerly occupied by
Noah Armstrong M an assay office, and also
as the first grocery store In Glendale, was
sold for SIS and torn down last week. There
are several pleasant "reminiscences connected
with that old log house. At the time that
building was being put up, and before the
roof was on, dispute arose between Noah
Armstrong and Jap Earl, formerly county
clerk,) Is 10 what should be the name OF the
town. One wished 1t to be called Glendale
the other Clifton. To settle 10 the two
names were written on chip--one on each
side. The chip was thrown over the log
walls Of the unfinished house, and on pick
ing 1t up II was found that Armstrong won.
Hence the baptismal name OF the town was
Glendale. A few years afterwards the Hrm
OF Armstrong, Dahler s. Co. was merged
into the Hecla Consolidated Mining Co.,
with Noah Armstrong In charge with the
modest title of Superintendent" For years
Mr.. Armstrong occupied the unpretentious
log house as an assay Office, sleeping de-
partment and headquarters Of the Hecla Co.
Once, while Armstrong was absent, the
employees Of the company, to show their re-
gard for their Superintendent, mustered in
force, took possession Of the log cabin and
lathed and plastered 1t In good shape. These
same men are scattered far and wide over
Montana to-day. They win sincerely regret
the destruction Of the old building. but will
be well pleased with the memory Of the
many pleasant evenings spent In the log
cabin with their friend and employer-the
founder Of Glendale.

Of silver In the trade dollar were worth 1025
cents In gold and 1850 cents In currency,

gress took away from this coin the legal

value OF silver bullion had 50 declined that
the trade dollar was worth but s4.s cents.
The quantity Of silver In the standard silver
dollar being but 4l2l grains, Its value was
proportionatcly less. After the trade dollar
cease to be legal tender s2o,54o, 9io more
were coined. When, In 1878, Its coinage
was stopped, the total amount issued was
S35, 959 800. or this amount Il Ia estimated
that from 81 ,000, 900 to $1,000, 900 remain In
the United States. Up to July !, 1883, the
trade dollar would bring In New York 90
cents, but = concerted movement being
then made against them, their value fell TO
30 cents, and they passed out of circulation.
Their popularity had not bsen enhanced BY
the fact that they had been bought at : dis

Tho Eitz John Porter Bill.


WASHINGTON, April 25.-The friends Of
the bill for the relief of Fitz John Porter are
opposed to calling up the measure in the
House until after the Chicago Convention.
While there Is no authority for saying, posi-.
lively, that the bill will be vetoed, the gem
ersl impression here Is that 1t will. At all
events, many of the Presidents friends sd-
wise that the bill be passed At IS early date
Is possible, In order that he may veto 1t be-
fore the National Convention meets, their
idea being that the veto Of the bill will help
him In the Convention. Only two members
OF the cabinet, Frelinshuysen and Brewster,
advise the approval Of the bill. The other
cabinet officers, among them Teller aud
Gresham, who are supposed to have the
greatest influence with the President, strong
ly urge that the measure be disapproved. 1t
Is understood that the principal rea'on upon
which the veto message will be based, Is that
Congress has not, under the Constitution,
power 10 reverse the findings, duly approved,
OF court martial. This point was urged
In vain upon the Senate by General Logan
NJ the last session of Congress, when he
made his famous three days speech against
Porter. The fact that the President par
doned Porter aud gave him citizenship Is
not regarded rs At all binding upon him to
approve the act of Congress restoring Porter
To the army.

Brer rabbit still holds his own In these
parts. Hundreds of them have been killed
this winter around my farm, but there seems
10 be good stock left, neither guns nor dogs
have made much impression. Brer rabbit Il
not as tImid creature Is he Is supposed to
be. He 10 more sly than timid. He comes
into my garden and my orchard every night
and barks the apple sprouts, and he comes o.
least quarter Of mile, for there Is no hid
ing place nearer, and the dogs and the boys
rersmbulate the grounds every day and they
have watched for him st night, but still he
comes. Uncle Remus has elevated the rao-
bit int consequence and reckon he may
be called the nations pet, for all the other
pets are gone and he alone holds The fort.
Brer wolf has left US for parts unknown.
Uncle Remus has thrown charm about
him, and now half the men you meet have
got q rabbits hind foot In their pocket, but
the foot don't seem TO bring good luck every
time, and never knew why until talked
TO Old Uncle Isham, and he said, "Lawsy

IL Is curious how these superstitions hang
around and cling TO people. People Of every

or other, We can't help being superstitious,
