The census enumeration Of northern
Dakota discloses the fact that of the
ffty-eight counties enumerated, all but
four haYe had their boundaries changed
since 1880 and all but two of these since
1883. In some Of these cases it was
proper that the boundaries should be
changed. but the history of four changes
out of five is one of corruption and was
the result Of a deal in which personal
gain and not public good was the end
sought. The changes in the boundaries
ofBillings county for instance, although
in spite Of the schemers it Is now a far
better county than it was before, was the
result of deal, in which outside parties
thought to derive benefit. There has
been but little, if any objection to our
new boundaries, but that such move
could have been originated and carried
to a successful issue without the con-
sent and almost without the knowledge
Of the citizens of our county, is very
nnfavorable comment on Dakota legisla-
ti0n. J., . .s

The census returns are all completed
as far as concerns northern Dakota and
have been. forwarded to Washington.
From the returns, it tappears that Cass
county heads the list with 21,OS5 inhab-
itants. Graud Forks comes next with
0,453, while Burleigh county is ninth
with 1854. There are ffty-eight coun-
ties enumerated in the northern Dakota
census. Billings county stands twenty
eighth in the list as concerns inhabi-
tants, we having 1877. In material
wealth, we are not lower than tenth.
In the fifty-eight counties enumerated,
there is total of 152,199 inhabitants,
32,50S farms and 612 manufactures.
The returns from southern Dakota have
not yet been sent in, but the principal
footings are as follows: inhabitants, 263,-
465; farms, 5O,264; manufactures, 442.
The totals for the Territory are as fol-
lows: inhabitants, 415,664; farms, 80, ,767,
manufactures, 1854. For the above fig
ures, we are indebted to the Bismarck
Tribune. ~' ~ -'-

Our Chicago market report shows a
lowering of prices all around, especially
in grass-fed: Texans and western range
cattle, both dropping about fifty cents.
Heavily increased arrivals of all classes
of cattle was the cause of the depression.
The arrivals of Texas and western cat
tie was $4,000 of which 1900 were from
Texas and about 1900 from Dakota and
Montana. Extra prime beeves were the
only class to escape the general depres-
sion, they advancing ten to fifteen cents.
The present outlook would seem to indi-
cate that prices will be low for some
time, as many cattle are now being sent
to market that should stay on the range
another year. There is also every chance
that large number will be marketed
from the Indian Territory and this will
result in another drop.

With the Cowboy.

It was late in the afternoon when we
rode up the steep and rocky path that
led into the green valley where round
up 81 was camped. On the rich hill
sides tho horses of the different outfits
were being punched up by the day
herders, and the odof of fried bacon was
being waited from the campfire where
Eli was officiating as cook. Sam. Basset
had fed his hungry gang and was put
ting away the supper things, and in a
little while the boys were rolling up
their beds and seeking a shelter from
the storm that. was coming up. After
everyone had finished his supper, the
different camps put in order and the
night herders sent out, all the rest of
the boys gathered in the cabin to spend
the evening. The two Pickering candles
stuck in empty beer bottles, shone over
a motley looking crowd. There were
twenty or twenty-five Of them, ranging
in age from the "kid" of fourteen to the
old 'broncho buster" of fifty. "Give us
some music, cookey," called out one of
the boys throwing a mouth organ to
Fred: Reynolds. Clearing out his mouth
and filing himself UP with wind, Fred.
blew the music out Of the mouth organ
with the skill Of a born musician, and
was greeted with great applause. Then
an old fiddle belonging to sleepy Dutch
rian was brought out and grand quad
rille improvised. It was an inspiring
sight to see Watts promenade across the
floor with Rocky Mountain Bob as a
partner, jab his spur into the knee Of q
spectator and back Skinny Dick over a
saddle: Probably John Cassius Temple
ton, the Colorado cowboy, was the most
limber-legged Of all the artists, and he
would have attracted attention even in
a Boston driving room. Jumbo also
waltzed with the tender grace Of a young
elephant, though the rest Of the boys

are two-year=olds at $40 eachs These
will net $50 when sold as three's. The
net profit, according to the figures is
then $4,000 in eighteen months on an
original outlay of 100000, exclusive of
running expenses and loss. We would
increase the running expenses at least
$2,500 for incidentals and a manager.
Five per cent. Of loss would he about
right, making 5000. All the cattle
could not be found at the end of eight
cen months, but as four@year-olds, they
would yield enough additional profit to
pay all expenses Of gathering. Our fig
ures would then increase the total out
lay to $20;OS5. This in turn, would be
decreased by at least $500 from the sale
Of horses, wagons, etc, leaving a total
otttlay Of el7,5s5, the net profit on the
whols transaction being $sas4i5. The
above figdres may be modified some
whit; but good judges would be more apt
to figure larger profit than d less one
on the deal.

Lord Dufrerin Honored.

RAwUL PIEDI, March 27.-Earl Duff
ferin, Viceroy of India, has arrived
here. He was accorded most impos-
ing reception by Abdurrahman, Ameer
of Afghanistan. The Amer, in an adj
dress of welcome, hoped the councils
which the Earl had come so far to at
tend, would be so guided as to insure
an honorable and lasting peace. In re-
ply, Lord Dutferin said he was glad that
his first public act. as Viceroy of India.
was to cultivate friendly relations with
the Sovereign's states conterminous
with the frontiers of India. "I trust"
friendly reception which is about to be
accorded me as Her Maiesty's represen-
tative, by the Amer, will prove to our
neighbors our firm intention and our
anxious desire to respect their rights. 1"
At the railway depot at Rawul Pindi
were assembled, when the train carry
ing Lord Dufferin arrived, the Punjaub
chiefs and General Stewart, General
Roberts, General Hardinge and num-
Der of other high officials. After an
interchange of official and personal
greetings, Lord Dufferin proceeded to
camp. The route was lined with troops.
The military display was very effective.
The soldiers greeted the Vicerey with
great enthusiasm.
The authorities of Rawul Pindi, later
in the day, presented Lord Dufferin
with an address, declaring loyalty to
Her British Majesty, the Empress of
India, and expressing an appreciation
of the honor done Rawul Plndi in
selecting IT as the meeting place of the
Council. The address of the Rawul Pindi
authorities concluded with the following
statement. "This recognition of our
lightly will confirm that confidence in
us which has been so long established
and which is daily receiving expression
from the rulers of India"
Earl Dutferin responded to the Rawul
Pindi address very happily, and ended
by saying: THE offers of loyalty and
service made upon this occasion are
most eloquent proofs of England:
steadfast good faith and the noble conf
dence of our friends"

France and China.

PARIS, March 27.-An morning news

severely criticize the government fol-
dllatoriness In sending reinforcements
to Tonquin, but the majority are very

Chinese policy.
Rochefort has an editorial in the In

OF Deputies last evening On the interpret
latlon upon the present state of the
tranco-Chinese war The article con-
cludes with the following words: cease
to question the ministers and invoke the

Gaulois says thirteen French officers

and Tuesdays fighting. 1t declares
that General Negrier's position is ex-
ceedingly precarious. Forty thousand
Chinese troops are massed on the from
tier not far distant.
Figaro urges the French forces to i'm
medlately march upon Canton.
PARIS, March 27.-The newspapers
urge that only the blockading Of the
Gulf of Pechee Lee will have any serious
effect upon the Chinese government.
PARIS, March 27.-Advices from Dong
Dang state that ZOO reinforcements for
General Negrier, portion of which is
made up of native levies, have arrived

wards the expense of the war. President

LoNJoN, March 27.-The subsistence
of the stock panic is due to the reports
that only limited number of the re-

of orders from Berlin to sell, and to a
diminution. of English ''bear" dealings.
The statement of the London Globe that
the British government yesterday sent

tum to the Russian government is dis
credited here.
Sir Peter Lumsden, Afghan boundary
Commissioner, has sent to London a
report of the engineer officers on he
commission, which states that The

to that of Herat.
1t is reported that the Russian
