ten years Of age. Unlike the ma
jority Of en- husiasts. she IS extremely
pretty. She has big blue eyes, q dim

Her figure is well rounded and grace
full and she has regularly formed

fortune Of about $4,000, the interest
Of which is sufficient TO support the

being girl Of extraordinary force of
character. she has gained complete
mastery over her garrulous old moth
er, who is kept in state of perpetual
excitement over the ambitions of her
child. After the girl had graduated
from college with honors she began
to write articles on various abstruse
problems for the Atlantic Monthly,
the North american ReCiesC, and
other periodicals of like gay and fes-
tive character. The singular unan-
unity with which all Of the magazines
refused to publish her writings con
vinced her that there was q ring in
American literature especially created
to suppress her, and she made up her
mind to turn to something practical.
You viii probably be surprised to
learn that she took up typewriting.
Such was the fact, however, and she

"Why does she want to become a

Because there are no women dem

There arethousands Of them in New

INSANITY ON THE INCREASE.

The report of Drs. Mitchell s. Mussie-
brod of the Insane Asylum at the Warm
Springs has been made to Governor Cros-
by Tor the wear ending the goth Of Decem-
Der last. The report gives a complete his
tory of each patient since admission. It
shows very large increase in the number
OF patients last year, and that the expense
OF the Asylum is getting to be serious
matter to the Territory. The number of
patients On Jan. 1st was Is, which was in
creased BY Jan. 10th to So. The expenses
OF the Asylum, to the Territory, for De
cemoer were $o,645, and for January it
Will reach S2,7oo. During the year 1881
slxty-one new patients were admitted to
the Asylum, and of this number it is re-
ported that fully three-fourths were insane
persons who had only been in Montana
from few days to eight months. Com
mentlng ON this the North Wesf observes
that It is getting to be seriously suspected
that Montana is being made victim Of th..
systematic and continued transmission 70
the Territory, by rail, of deranged peonle
from other localities. The West Sid. ;o,,r
nal adds: "The matter is now BEING iooL.
Cd AFTER and Gov. Crosby proposes if such
can be ascertained to be the fact to tale
sucn measures as the case demands"

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

During the week the Convention has
been occupied in taking up, debating amend
ing and disposing Of the general files be.
fore it. On Wednesday the entire day was
devoted to Mr.. Dixon's substitute for the
section stricken out prohibiting free passes
to public officers.
Mr.. Toole moved to amend by including
private citizens, but this was rejected, as
tending to render the principle ridiculous.
The vote on the adoption Of the substi-
tute was tie-Io to Io.
Owing to inisapprehension Of the ques-

would be reconsidcred, and il 50 the free

.oanect;on with the Republican nom,"a-
,;on Of a candidate for De'ega'e
oress. the Democrats are canva''"s ~
Chances Of Major Maginnis' successor anu
the matter is a subject of frequent discus
49,. When the Constitutional Conven-
.;on assembled at Helena many OF the
,.arned men OF the Democracy OF Mon.
.o.. met also. These unterrified pollt'cai
patriots. it is reported, are weighing the
chances of their coming candidate. Inc
selection of the Hon. Bill A. Clark as the
President of the Convention was looked
upon as a special boom of that gentlema"
Congressional aspirations. The speech Oh
the Hon. Bill, on taking the chair was re-
parded as piece of elegant oratory, adro'tiy
woreled, and intended to impress his Den-
ocratic brethren with his sublime fitness Tor
Congress. 1t was fair forensic effort that
must have tickled the average Democrat
clean down into his boots. But on last oat-
urday, in Convention, the Hon. BilPs boom
was Knocked clean out of time. Inc SUD-
;ect of education being before the Conven-
ton, Hon. w. Young Pemberton' more
familiarly known as "Little Penn" arose
and delivered speech, the equal OF which
seldom falls from Democratic lips. We are
told that "Pem's" speech cooked MIR. Clark S
Congressional cake. We are sorry for the
Hon. Bill, for his trips to Europe to learn
oratory in the French school were waste
of precious time. Pemberton, our Dis
trict Attorney,'is on top, and his chances
of leading the unterrified on to victory or
defeat next fall are looming up. W. Y.
Pember!on, the victim of the prevailing
Democratic boom, is Kentucky Missou-
rian by birth and "brotten up" In his
youth he learned the law, ard learned it SO
well that he to-day ranks as one of the
brightest legal lights among our Constitu-
ton makers. by birth, Democrat-by
profession, poAitician-5y trade, first
class criminal lawyer-"Litt!e Penn" pos
sesses all of the concomitant qualifications
requisite for Democratic Congressman.
Our Democratic advices quote his chances
as booming for the coming nomination.

JUDGE CONGER REINSTATED.

Our Virginia City cotemporary, the Mad.
isouian, Of the 29th ult., publishes an arti-
Gle in which the intelligence is conveyed to
the Montana public that President Arthur
had reinstated, or restored, Judge Conger.
Our readers will remember that the Judge
was, some months ago, suspended by the
President on charges that gravely affected
his character and called in question his fit
ness to longer occupy the bench A letter
from Attorney General Brewster notified
Judge Conger that he had been restored to
his official position and that an examination
Of the charges preferred against him elici
ted mo evidence showing any want Of in
tegrity or his part, personal or official"
This news was the cause of popular DEM
onstration at the "ancient capital" The
Judges nearest neig hbors, who have stood
by him during his months of suspension,
mustered in mass, and, headed by brass
band, proceeded to his residence, where,
with music and "tiger" cheering, the crowd
manifested is qualification at his restora-
ton. 1t was home demonstration of
which Judge Conger may we'll feel proud.
Officially vintlicated, Judge Conger is again
entitled to the confidence Of the people,
and the citizens of Virginia City certainly
think so. Tom Baker, the betimes enthu-
siastic editor Of the 1Nadisoui0n, says of the
demonstration "Could the enemies and
detractors of the Judge have witnessed this
demonstration Of his neighbors and friends,
they would have been thoroughly convinc
ed Of one thing-that, in his home, where
he is best known, their malicious calumnies
have utterly failed to obtain credence, or to
ALLEVIATE from him the confidence and es-
TEEN of the community
The Helena independent, of last Tues
day, says:
IA dispatch from Washington, received
yesterday by the Governor, says that sue
cessor to Judge Conger will be appointed
within week, and that Conger's rein,tate-
ment was only for the purpose Of letting
him draw his salary for the time he has
been suspep'ed:"
