Story of Bismnrcls,s Iron Ring.

There is quite little romance associated
with the large iron ring worn by Prince Bis
marck. The ring was the Russian inscrip-
ion of " Nitschewo," word much used by
he Russians, and expressing much the game
meaning as our No matter" This is the
story of the ring When Bismarck was
Minister at ST. Petersburg in 1862 he re.
ceived in the winter an invitation to IN inn
perial hunt, which was to take place at o
very considerable distance from the capital.
He turned up at what he supposed to be the
rendezvous with plenty of time to spare, but
unfortunately ii turned out that he was still
matter of sixteen miles away. A peasant
undertook to bring him to the spot in time,
and forthwith Bismarck and his guide set
off in sleigh with two diminutive horses.
To The suggestion Of the Prussian Minister
who could only speak his own language,
shat the animals in front were only rats, the
driver returned curt Ntschewo'

tured Bismarck after while, and the an
swer was another " Nitschewo.n The i'm
patient huntsman complained that the pace
was not swift enough, and the peasant, with
" Nitschewo," lashed his horses into such
speed that Bismarck began TO upbraid him.
The answer was still the same. short
time afterwards both occupants of the sleigh
were thrown out, yet all the satisfaction
Bismarck could get from his driver wal
+" Nitsehewo." Picking up piece of iror
which had been broken from the sleigh, the
Prussinn Minister carried it back to st.
Petersburg aud had a ring made as q me-
mento of an adventure which might have
Ind q more serious end. This iron ring
still adorns the finger of the Iron Chancel-
lor. When Bismarck related this story he
is said to have added My good Germans
often reproach me with being too indulgent
to Russia; but they should remember that
l alone in all Germany am accustomed in
critical moments to say, Nitschewo (No
NATTER, while in Russia n hundred. million
people live who at the same moment have
'Nitschewo on the tongue"

Thor snng IL Once More.

That was a sensible clergyman in Chester
County, last Sunday, who was disturbed by
the noise. made by male members of the
congregation putting on their oyercoats
while the Doxology was being sung, and
said NOW that you have your oyercoats

MURDER STATISTICS.

The murder statistics of Montana for the
past year show larger number of deaths
from this source than is usual for one year.
If the unlawful lynchings Of men in the
Territory within the last year be counted
AS murders the number of murders in
Montana during the period specified would
be greatly increased. The law makes
these lynchings murders, for the killing of
a human being-exccpta legal execution
with deliberate preparation aforethought is
murder. Throughout the country murders
have doubled in a single year. Murder
statistics in the United States for 1884 show
an increase Of more than double over 1883.
The murder census of the country, just
completed, shows that there were three
thousand three hundred and seventy-seven
murders committed within the past year-
or six murders to every one hundred thou
sand inhabitants. Of the murders report
ed forty eight were children killed by their
parents, eighty-five wives killed by their
husbands, and twelve husbands murdered
by their Understanding large amount Of
domestic unhappiness and crime. Of the
whole number of murders reported, three
hundred and fifteen were mysterious and
likely to remain so. It is difficult to as
sign reasons for this immense increase in
murders. Doubtless the financial depres-
sion, the hard times prevailing, and the
tremendous excitement attending Presi-
dental campaign had much to DO With
swelling the number of murders.

THE STOCK ASSOCIATION.

We are informed BY a member OF 'he
association that since the organization o'
the Stock Growers Association OF ooutn'
ern Montana there has been less reported
loss Of stock attributable to stealing than
formerly. The large 'ajority of our lead
ing stockmen having Joined the assoc'a-
ton has been a warning to stock thieves to
90 slow. They are needing the associated
labor of the stockmen, and fearing prose-
cution at the hands Of a united organiza-
ton which has been drawn together tor
the purposes of mutual protection and
reciprocal action in all matters relating to
the great stock-raising industry. 1t is
satisfaction to be able to record the tact
that so many of the stock,nen OF Southern
Montana have connected themselves with
the association, and pleasure to report
that the members are satisfied with the re-
suits of their associated work. We are in
formed that there are many stockmen who
are vet without the pale of the association,
but it is confidently believed they will be
enrolled on the membership list before
many more meetings of the association are
held. The stronger the association be-
comes in active and influential members
the more effective will be its work and the
greater its power in fostering and protec-
ting the stock interests. Montana laws
are presumed to be so shaped that good
for the mass of the people will result from
their rigid enforcement. If the law be en-
forced under the auspices of the associa-
ton and if the stock thieves be caught
through the detective agencies and instru-
mentaities of the association and punished
for their Crimes it will be but a short time
until stock stealing in this section of Mon
tana will be thing unheard of or of rare
occurrence.

NEwTON's NOTIONS.

Pow Heber Newton's new notions
have created quite fiutter in Episcopal
circles in New York City. OF late Kew
Newton has been ridiculing the prevalent
idea Of the Trinity, and in one of his SER
mons he pronounced the idea as "utterlv
grotesque, if not sort OF n'ds"'n"e'
n;ob,,s dream. for which Christianity is
Indebted to the influences of Egyptian and
probably Hindoo speculation in the carry
church" For this offense the reverend
gentleman is to have hearing for heresy
before Bishop Potter. According TO the
Episcopal creed the Trinity consists OF the
Father. Son and Holy Ghost-three dis
tinct beings or personages, and yet tne
three are one in person, and indivisible. Inc
same creed further says: ave believe IN
one true and living God, without body
parts or passions" On the presentatlo"
Of Rev Newton for heresy Bishop Potter
is reported as saying: ITO explain or at
tempt to explain the mysteries OF the lr'n-
ity BY scientific or natural laws would GER
tainly be impossible"
The trial is expected to be one OF inter
est Meanwhile Newton occupies an Epls-
copal pulpit. In his last Sundays sermon
he defended himself and proclaimed new
Newton notions. He said: II have at
tackled no single article of our creed, ne'th-
er in the letter or in the spirit of my words.
/ have attacked no one of our thirty mine
articles; have not attacked any doctrine
put forth by our church in any of her tor
mularies; have spoken in strong words
of several doctrines of Christianity, as
they appear in popular theology and in
some of the confessions of faith OF other
churches, bu, l never knew that these
forms were binding upon us in this church"
Before closing he said: "Close you BIZ
bles, if you will; turn away from the
churches which have SO frightfully exag-
gerated the belief of future punishment,
but do not dream of escaping the necessity
of believing in the reality of retribution."

The great power Of the newspaper is felt
in all the civilized countries OF the world
Modern journalism has assumed such gi-
gantic proportions that it can justly be
termed the sovereign power among the
people Of the civilized nations Of the earth.
Every large town has its newspaper and
in the large cities the great journals have
millions Of money invested. To-day the
world rays more homage to the press than
to the pulpit.

ments, but further than the report Of the

new patents issued last year, and that

that all Of these patents are of great value

The Fate OF Gordon

The following extract from private letter
received from Captain H. w Loyett. who is
serving with the troops in Egypt appears in
the Oswestry Advertiser: "Shellai Assouan.
2Sth May, 1SS5.-Last night was starting for
my ride when they came to tell me that a
refugee had just come into camp; so | sent
for him and had an interview, which was
most interesting He was one of Gordon's
Egyptian soldiers, and remained in Khar-
toum for month after it fell, and he saws
that he actually saw Gordon's DEATH When
the Mahdi's people were all in the town Cor
don ran down to the river, probably intend

by several Of the Arabs, whoitold him that
ne must acknowledge the Mahdi OF be killed.
On his refusal they killed him with their
swords, and his head was stuck up in the
streets for five days, each Arab as he passed
pulling bit OF hair out and splitting in his
face. My friend says that all the women
and children wereIspared, and kept for slaves
and the only people who were killed were
TWO Egyptian regiments, and one regiment
OF Sudanese, who opposed the entrance of
the Arabs This man and the remaining SOL
dlers, seeing that the game was up, took no
active part, and consequently were not killed
/ asked the man how he got way, and he said
that the MahdrS people would give them
nothing to eat, and that they were starving,
so he left as camel-driver to aslave merchant
and came up through Berber (Which he saws,
is burned and completely destroyed to Abu
Hemad. He then struck the Nile, little
north of Korosko, and came on here, so that
was the first Englishman to see him. He
told me that they were all starving in Khar
toum, and that after they had finished all
the horses and donkeys Gordon used to give
them gum and the inside of palm trees to
chew. There was an evident ring of truth
about the man, who stood to attention as
near as he could. being bent nearly double
