PROSPEROUS CATTLE MEN.

The late Convention of Cattle Men, a:
sand accredited delegates, representing the
vast cattle interests Of all the States and
Territories. The proceedings of the con
vention, which was one OF great impor-
lance, will doubtless be printed in PAM
phlct form, for general distribution
Throughout, the whole country. In speak
ing OF the work OF the Convention and the
results that would flow theretrom, a PROM
incnt cattle man of Southern Montana as
serted that never before have the cattle
owners of Montana and the Great West
been in better spirits :han during the past
season. Two reasons were assigned for
this state Of things. Ths price Of beef
cattle has been uniformly high, and the
herds have been free from those dangerous
contagious diseases which have prevailed,
to Il greater Or less extent, in other sec
tons OF the country. These two things
peri,y nj the men engaged in the cattle
business. The fall trade is now coming
on, and while it is true that this trade is at
tended with some draw hacaS. AS is the case
in any line OF business, the prospects for a
good cleanup are exceedingly ilat,ering,
and there is every proSpec. that shippers
will sell in the Eastern markets at good
figures. In the Convention, At ST. Louis,

The department of public instruction
yesterday issued circular to superin.
tendents and principals of schools
throughout the state, stating that the
state text book law provides that after
five years there may be such alterations
and revisions of the books of the series
as the superintendent of public instruc-
ton may direct This time expires on
July l, 1884. With view to ascertaining
what changes the experience of the past
five years directs, the superintendent and
principals are requested to inform the de-
partment what books ought to be contin-
ued without revision and what should be
removed from the list. Their opinions as
to any specific revisions are requested,

Supt. Belden attended the public exam
ination of the village school week ago
last Thursday and Friday as also at Ia
OPT. He is introducing course of study
embracing year or more to complete in
each of the schools in the county. We
heartily approve of this plan, as the hap
hazard uselessness of constant review,
term after term and year after year, has
been disgrace to the intelligence of the
school district officers of the county and
a positive injury to the pupils. For the
last five years we have kept our children
in school about half of the time and we
| think it has been an improvement, as they
seem to be as far or even farther advanc-
ed than those who have been going over
and over and over again the same thing:
We wrote an article on this subject three
years ago and had it published in this
paper, wherein we covered this ground
thoroughly. We have not visited the
school often and for the very reason that
when we did so, we became annoyed at
the crime that was being perpetrated
upon the poor little fellows by keeping
them seven or eight years going over the
same parts of their text books There is
scarcely a pupil over eight years old in
the school who, if allowed to, but would
prepare and complete thorough college
course in eight years. Leroy Independent.

IN MEMORIAM,

The hearts OF all who knew Marcia French
are filled with sorrow on account of her I'M
timely and melancholy death. This sorrow is
not the child of disbelief in immortality of
the soul, or the progeny of doubts of her hap
piness in the world beyond the grave. It is a
compound of disappointment that her own
bright hopes could not find fruition in COM
plete, well rounded life, and Of longing for tn 9
sympathy of her great. generous heart. That
she is now in better world, we hope; that she
lives again,we believe; that she lived well here.
we know. And it is to speak of her character
and it's lovely traits that these lines are
written by one who could not do her honor
by his presence when she was laid away in
the bosom of our good mother earth.
Marcia French possessed average mental
powers, and more than an average deter
mination to improve herself in every laudable
way. She was faithful pupil, an energetic
teacher, and pleasant, social companion for
her many young friends. But however much
we may admire the intellectual powers and
social qualities during life, it is the heart and
the works prompted by it that we turn to
when both mind and heart are still. Now we
we see the triumph Of the good over power of
mind. body, or wealth. And what q triumph

sympath etic, meek, and faithful to the wants
of those around her. The very cause Of her
illness and death-the protracted and I'M
renting care of her dying brother-was
characteristic of her. It is this quality, this
part of her nature that shines so brightly
to-day. And next to this is her earnestness.
TO live was for her a solemn thing, duty
which was not to be trif1ed with. She i'm
pressed all with her earnestness and fixed
determination, and acted at all times as if in
accord with great purpose.
To her we must say the last long farewell.
Dear ones may yearn for her and her sympa-
thy and aid, but they must not wish her back
God never surrenders the spirits he has called
home, but rather bids us wait for the inevita-
bic summons to join them. Her parents have
the remembrance and sympathy of all who
knew their daughter, and also of those who
know them. They need kind words now, for
with Burke they can say at the death of their
children, 1.-THE storm has gone over me, and I

hurricane has scattered around me. 1 am
