lows ten days to go and ten days 20

two tickets, one reading from place OF
sale 10 Oh cago and return. and the

Somewhat Isolated.

We clip the following from the Stock
and Mining Journal. If any of our
readers are unable to guess what
paper the writer refers to, all doubt
can be dispelled by enquiring at the
Husbandman Office, White Sulphur
Springs:
"To use an old and threadbare ex-
preston, we have met the enemy and
they are ours so far as the vote ON the
Constitution, at the recent election is
concerned. The majority in favor Of
it in the Territory, was overwhelming.
Toe paper that boosted before election,
that it stood alone in its opposition to
the Constitution is still somewhat iso-
lated, not only in its opinions, but in
fact. Its publisher is a genuine, chronic
old gruwl. Ii is almost useless to argue
with one so narrow-minded, and we
RESPECTFULLY refer hiAi to the verdict of
the people, which be Fan translate into
an invitation To remain alone, so far as
they are concerned, for all time to
come"

The December number OF the North
west, al Illustrated monthly journal OF
literature, agriculture and Western
progress, published al ST.. Pau, by h..
V. Smailey as ed and proprietor,
has a truthful sketch OF the Hon.
James Fergus of Meagher county,with
a most excellent likeness of the old
gentlman. The sketch is a truthful
recital Of some Of the incidents Of his
eventful life, which. were it written
to-day, would state further that he is
a member of the Council of the four
teenth Legislative Assembly of Mon
tana in the I'D year of his age. There
are but few persons living anywhere
whose lives are marked with such
trying and interesting episodes as that
of Mr.. Fergus, which, if ever written
up by a proper biographer will present
a most captivating and readable book.
AS President of the Pioneer Associa-
ton held at Helena, last September,
Mr.. Fergus said, upon assuming the
duties as president of that Conven-
ton that he "would rather occupy that
position thar be President of the
United States, and he was believed
when he said so. The author of the
sketch paid but a just tribute to Mr..
Fergus when he said "his character is
as sturdy as the mountains Of his
chosen home, and his life as pure as
the SHOWS that tip their summit"

by them. That would compensate
them for what they lose by the cutting
OF the rates on wool. 1t was reported
to-day that several Ohio congressman
would not support the Converse reso-
luton, but Mr.. Converse says this is
not 30. Ohio will give twenty votes
for 1t, and he hopes 1t
will be adopted. 1t appears,
however, the Ohio men are
hesitating about bringing forward the
resolution next Monday, although the
speaker has promised to recognize one
OF their number to move its passage.
The cause of this hesitation Is found in
the doubt that has arisen about the
votes of some Democrats who had
been expected TO support the Converse
proposition, and the wool men have
not yet been able to count enough
noses to give them two-thirds vote,
even If they could get solid Republic
can support, which they will not get.
The pressure from Ohio is so srtong
that the Ohio congressman will prob
ably feel obliged to take the risk of n
trial of the strength Of the resolution

Special TO the Gazette.
Austin, February 7.-Governor Ire
land received the following telegram
this evening from Secretary Freling-
huysen, which indicates that the pow
ers that be ut Washington are disposed
to hedge on the delicate points in
volved in their recent decision in the
now somewhat famous Trimble case:
WASHINGTON, February Z, 1884.
TO His Excellency, John Ireland, Governor
of Texas:
My action in the Trimble case was
because of the belief, supported by an
almost unanimous current of author
ity, that the president had no power
in the premises. The question,
however, is one of impor-
lance, and if any further
arrests are made and evidence against
the accused found sufficient to warrant
extradition if the question of citizen
ship was not involved, the case in the
first place will be left to the admins.
tration of the local authorities, the
president, however, requiring that be-
fore any actual surrender is made the
accused have full opportunity for hear
ing before the supreme court of the
United States on writ of habeas cor
pus and certiorari from local court,
either federal or state.

murder of u deputy sheriff at Kickapoo
Springs last Tuesday. The deputy,
whose name we are unable to learn,
was pay-master at the ranch, and
some difficulty arising in settling ac-
counts, the Mexican plunged a knife
in him and fled. He came here and
was arrested on description sent
down by Justice Mccarthy.
The latest from san Saba
says that Sheriff Miller,
with the rangers, found the
camp lately occupied by the cattle
burners and captured one man, who
so far has refused to give the names of
his companions. The burning seems
to have been extensive, as cattle are
still coming in with brands blotched.

A NIGHT OF AGONY.
The Remarkable Experience Of an
English Traveller.


The following true talen was re-
Gently told by the mayor of Stratford-
on.Avon when delivering lecture on
"Forest and Historic Trees:" Some
years ago q gentleman, mounted on u
horse, set out in order TO cross the
Dartmoor. Though the thaw had
commenced, yet 1t had not melted the
snow-heaps, and our traveller got on
but slowly, and towards evening it
froze again. The shades of evening
came on with vapor and mist. To
reach Tavistock that night he knew
would be impossible, rs fresh
snow-storm began to fall. To stay out
all night would be certain death. It
was, therefore. with no small satisfac-
tion that he saw at distance n cottage
partially covered with snow, and II
was not long before he reached 1t. He
dismounted and the door was opened
by an old woman. He entered, and
son, who sat smoking his pipe beside n
blazing peat fire The strangers wants
were soon made known an old out
house accommodated his horse. and
the son gave up his bed, adding that he
would sleep In the old settle by the
chimney corner. After supper he was
shown to his room, where there was u
large oak chest, very old and curious,
so much SO rs to cause him to remark
upon it to the old woman, who had
lighted him up stairs, and he
could not help observing something
shy and odd about her manner. After
she had gone he felt inclined to peep
into the chest, but he forbore, and
went to bed. He felt cold and miser-
able, and could not sleep. The old
chest haunted him; n hollow sound,
az if behind his beds head, suddenly
startled him; and as he raised
himself in his bed, the first thing he
the silvery silence of the moonlight;
his fears gave action to the inanimate
thing, and nj length he tancied the lid
of the chest began to move. Starting
from his bed, he grasped the lid aud
raised IL up. Imagine his feeling OF
horror when he beheld n human
corpse, stiff and cold.
One thought during the rest Of the
night possessed bim-that he was in
the house of murjerers! There was
no escape. He thanked God when
morning came. On coming down
stairs he found the old woman and
her son preparing breakfast. They
hoped "bis honor passed good
