WASHINGTON. ,Tune ct. 1885

" o4'. = ttIS -, ACSo.
Ia these warm summer days L Of
the most pleasant resortsin Washing
ION is The Congressional Library. It
is high above The city, in the Capitol
on The Hill. It is open every day in
The week, and daring hours of admit
lance, you can find there people OF
every age, color, occupation and on
d;t;on. From q single room the Ii
bcary has grown into three spacious
balls, four stories high. It is filed
throughout With alcoyes Of solid iron,
and c2amaed from end TO end with
books behind books in double rows,
while sixty thousand volumes, or a IL
brary three times as large as that
saved from the flames thirty years
ago, ! stacked upon the floors. The
Librarian and his assistants are en-
barassed in the discharge Of their du-
Ties by this daily encroaching mass Of
literature. They have taken the
ground though, that It is the business
Of the Library Of the United States to
possess all the literature that the
country has produced. This institu-
tion IS found constantly competing at
public auctions for copies OF books.
pamphlets and journals, which are
continually pouring out Ct private
collections throughout this country,
and still larger purchases are made
from the book-shops Of England and
the Continent.
Another resort is the Potomac river.
It may be called the summer ~resortof
the District OF Columbia for during
the heated term a large proportion Of
the population is afoat on its surface.
The river breezes are so cool and re-
freshing after a warm day in the city
that one trip down the river induces
others. There are day excursions,
and evening excursions, the former
being mainly patronized by women
with their baskets and little ones.
The evening is the time when the
wharyes present the gayest scenes.
Large steamers 1adened With excur-
sionists crop away one after another,
bound for the resorts lower down.
while the voices Of pleasure seekers
mingled with the music from the or
chestras come floating back oyer the
water.
At this season the city has the APP
pearanee Of q forest village. The
streets are 4 labyrinth Of full leafed
trees. Standing on the dome Of the

THE northern Montana Indians. af-
ter becoming sleek and fat from the
liberal supplies Of RECOMMENDATIONS,
furnished them during the winter, are
now making arrangements to turn
loose the dogs Of war at each other,
as the following dispatch from Fort
keogh would seem indicate: Word
has just been received here that a war
party Of Blood Indians, numbering
between 200 and 500 bucks. have left
their reserve IN northern Montana and
are travelling south to join the South
Piegans for the purpose Of making
war on the Grows and Gros Ventures.
These Indians are probably the same
ones who have been raiding ranch
men IN the upper Missouri during
the past spring, and On one or two
occasions have come in contact with

THE bench lands OF Montana, while
they are in fact, undoubtedly the best
agricultural lands, have been almost
unresarvedly turned over to the stock
men for grazing purposes, This was
because their agricultural worth was
not understood. The valleys were
Supposed to be the only arabic lands,
and consequently the first taken up.
But during the past two years those
interested in agricultural pursuits
have been experimenting with the
bench lands, with results which were
highly satisfactory, and while many
have doubted The Ultimate success OF
the experiments, from honest motives,
Others have dezided them from purely
selfish motives. There is no question
but that tho harvest this year will sat
isfy even the most credulous that the
experiments have proved the bench
lands superior to The valleys for pro-
ducing grain. Personally we have
examined several fields Of grain
grown on the bench lands, without
other than the natural supply OF
moisture, aud they L il every re-
spect superior to the wheat grown n
the valley, which had the advantage
Of irrigation, etc. Within one mile
from Great Falls is hive-acre field OF
wheat which wass subjected to circum-
stances which were very unfavofabie
for il, and despite this we venture tbe
assertion that it will harvest as r1any
bushels to the acre as any raised in
the valley under mere favorable CIR
cumstaneas, The growing Of wheat
is receiving more and more attention
each year, and i IS fer to presume
that IN few years At most, northern
Montana viii produce an abundance
OF this cereal.

The appointment of Samuel I.
Hauser, Governor Of Montana, gives
the general satisfaction in this section
that it does in other portions of the
Territory. Mr. Hauser is a mar well
qualified for the position. His thor
ough knowledge Of Montana, gained
by a long residence, particularly fits
him for the position, and he will do
more honor to the Office than the title
of Gov. will do for him.

Piegans made continuous raids on the
Crows, capturing from tie lattez
about 2,c00 horses during the season.
The enmity between the Piegans and
the Crows is Of long standing, but in
these mutual raids, ~peaeeable white

The Rural Canadian gives some
hints concerning the breeding Of cat
Tie, which may be Of interest to stock
men with small herds which they
wish to improve in grade. It says:
4 scrub heifer bred to q thorough
bred ball for her first calf, and then
repeatedly bred to the same bull, will
improve in her breeding SO that each
succeeding calf wall be better than
the preceding one, and this to a
greater extent than if she had been
bred to different bulls, though all
equally good and Of the same blood.
This rule holds good with horses and
sheep as well as cattle. Stick a pin
right here. If you III breeding cat
tie get q good bull and keep him. tt
you calculate to breed Durharas, do
SO; if Holsteins OF any other breed, do
do; but don't breed to a Durham one
year and a Holstein the next. You
must stick to one thing if you expect
to breed good grades Of either.

what WIS right. She is simply infatuated
with the millinery of Faith e-r Jardine.
The counsel for defense asked the
little girl whether she did Dot know at the
time TN It what Jardiue did was wrung. 1t
made no difference whether she did or not.
The pri st was teacher of right and vir-
tue, theoretically; it would have been as
great a wrong in him if she had OF her own
accord sold herself to his impure hands.
The learned counsel attempted some crili-

suppose 1t is one OF the cancns of Jar
dimes church that a grown up woman,
when she does not come up to the priests
demands, must be pulled across the priests
lap and spanked. 1t may be canon of
his church, lbut not of any other church In
the world. The reason given by Mrs.
Berry for going back to Jardine's church
was cIeditable to her g)odness Of heart.
She did not want her mother to krow the
indiguities she had been submitted. The
family with which she was boarding were
members Of Jsrdine's church, ard she
would either have 10 go or give some rea-
son.
Then they came to the testimony of that
poor girl, Lizzie Eason. There is a sin on
some ones shoulders for what that girl has
sworn 10. She has been made to retract

Maj WCOdsOn spoke Of tie testimony OF
Mrs. Norhrup. He thought thzre should
girls the mysteries of childbirth. He grew
slightly eloquent. He ought to establish
society fer spreading that kiad OF instruc-
tion-he and Father Jardine together. The
fact is, the same spirit inspired that Shiny
sinner when he taught that little girl those
obscepities, the very same spir t that in
spired him when he took those indecent
Liberties with little Inez Bryant.
Gentlemen. this is about all L have to
say in the case. If these things, gentle
men, which have been testified To are un-
true-if little Inez Bryant and Richard
Stillwell and all the others have told moth
ing but lies, and Jsrdine is the only pure
person here, why has he not taken the
st md ard ated under cath that ali these
charges are falsehoods? He has taken
enough interest in this use to spend hun
dreds of dollars in bringing distinguished
attorney from st. Louis, ard he would not
have failed, if he dared do It, TO take the
stand in his own behalf. Jardiue is proven
to be a minister of Christ. but lecherous,
Shiny: villain, who lives in this eommuni-

says negotiations between England and
Russia regarding the Afghan frontier ques-
ton has become serious. Russia is pre-
ferring new claims and refuses to yield to
Lord Salisbury, whose tone, though studi-
ously friendly, is firm.
The Standard, In commenting upon the
same subj ct, declares that England will
ever condone a second edition of the Peri
Deb Outrage.
The Standard In an editorial on the re-
pcr.e1 advance of Russian troops TO Zalf-
kar pass says: "Allhough more reassur.
ing news was received late yesterday from
Col. Ridgeway, chief of the British-Afghan
boundary commission, news from other
sources regarding Russian movements are
of the gravest character. The only re-
deeming feature of The intelligence from

the Afghans have attached themselves

Amear to Russia's claim to the position Of
practically commanding Zail6kar pass is
supported by Lord Salisbury. Lord Sails
bury's reluctance TO consent 10 Russias
offer, to submit the question In dispute to
the Joint commission, is owing TO his be-
lief that such a course would be resnltless
and would only delay the settlement of
matters. The Times says all the powers
with the exc pt'on of Russia, have given
their assent to the issue of the Egyptian
loan. Russa's silence, the Times says, in
creases the apprehension in regard to the
