Gambling Bill.

The legislative correspondent of the
nter-Mountain, speaking OF the gamb.
ling bill, says:
ut will be memorable in the annals
OF Montana legislation 1t marks an
era. 1t is the mos: progressive step
ever attempted in his territory, and
its fate is big with good or evil depend
ent ON its passage or defeat. The
vote in the council will serve to show
what class Of people hold the reins Of
government - whether the gamblers
rule Montana or the men engaged in
legitimate labor. the producers, the
business men and sons of toll. 1t will
show whether the gaming table or the
ilreslde is the more potent in the minds
OF our law makers. 1t will show
whether money or morality is the basis
on which they propose to enact legis-
la,ion for the government Of the
people.

New Silver Bill.

Representative Dorshcimcr intro
duced a bill in the house of representa-
tives last week, relative to the coinage
Of silver. 1t fixes the standard OF
weight at $50 grains, and provides for
the issuance OF treasury notes redeem
able in such or in silver bars in pro-
portion. Foreign silver is to be taxed
at the highest rate of duty imposed on
manufactured silver. and its Coinage at
any United States mint is prohibited.
The bill also leaves the amount of
coinage optional with the secretary Of
the treasury, and invests the certili-
Gates with legal tender qualities, excep,
when otherwise expressly stipulated.

Prof. Bailey, on the evening of the
10th, talked on the tin deposits of the
Black Hills before the Academy of
Science people gathered in Columbia
college, n. Y. Before him were sew
eral large blocks of tin. mined near
Harney's Peak, Dakota. The Prof
said that 3 per cent. OF the ore was
yielded in black tin Of the purest kind;
a better quality was not to be found in
the European mines. In the last "a
years the United States have consumed
''nware worth $a,4.ooo,ooo, O. per
cent. Of which has been iron. With
the development Of the Black Hills
mines the casting Of tin could he made
much heavier on tinware and sell
cheaper than it does now. Solid tim
ware might be used and even tin water
pipes. from which the sanitary effect
would certainly be better. In the tin
obtained by washing from streams is
found great quantities of garne,s--
so nnmerous that several wagon loads

VICTOR HUGO'S LOVE FOR
CHILDREN.

The London st. James Gazette
tells hitherto unpublished anecdote
of Victor Hugo During the poets
exile days in Guernsey, an English
lady who had been sometime living
with her family at St. Savior, near
the center of the island, missed her
youngest son, an intelligent child of
about five years old. The boy, it
afterward appeared, had strayed from
his nurse, and, wandering aimlessly
about, had grown weary, and con-
tentedly fallen asleep in the open air.
Victor Hugo. in one of his solitary
rambles, found the child just awak-
ening, and recognizing him as the
son of lady whom he knew by sight,
he hoisted him on to his back, and
greatly delighted, cantered with him
across country to his own house. A
storm came on, and it was decided
that the youngster should not be
sent back that night. A messenger,
however, allayed the mothers ankle
ty, and next morning the boy was re-
turned, together with profuse apollo
gies, many thanks, and huge bas-
ket of flowers and fruit. On being
asked how he had enjoyed his unpre
meditated visit, the boy said: "Very
much indeed M. Hugo played at
lions with me all the evening. He
was the lion under the table. And
do you know once when he came out
of his den and grewled he pulled off
the table cloth and broke ever so
many glasses. 1t was finn J"
Another anecdote, also unpublish-
ed, is equally eloquent of Hugo's
love of children. Some months later
the little daughter of the same En-
glish lady fell sick of scarlet fever.
The poet heard of it, and, after bring
ing several offerings of grapes, he,
one day, although still comparative
stranger, begged as great favor to
be allowed to see the patient, who
was by this time beginning to mend.
He laughed at the idea of infection,
and upon being led to the sick room,
sat down by the bedside, and, gently
taking one of the child's hands in his,
was soon inventing for her benefit a
most enchanting fairy tale. He came
again on the next day and on several
subsequent days, always in the best
of spirits. When the child was we'll
he came no more but every year af-
terward until his death, although she
has now children of her own, he sent
to her on his birthday some little to-
ken of his kindly recollections of her.

A GOOD STORY ABOUT GENER-
AL SEDGWICK.

"On one occasion a volunteer SOL
dier came lettering around our head
quarters, and Sedgwick was sitting
out on the ground near by, with no
signs of his rank whatever. He hard
ly ever wore any insignia; he was
very plain indeed.
The soldier came up and said:
Il say, friend, have you got any in
fuence around headquarters
4 don't know said Sedgwick
maybe I have. What do you want?
why some of my friends from the
third corps have come over to make
me little visit and l want to give
them something to drink, and | want
to get an order on the sutler to let
me buy some whiskey.'
co. said Sedgwick, you don't
want any whiskey. You and your
friends will like each other just as
much without whiskey.'
No, we won't, said the man. do
you fellows around headquarters treat
your friends that way when they come
to see you? You don't think you
have any influence then?'
Il rather think 1 can get you bot
tie of whiskey,' said Sedgwick. Here,
you take this to the sutler, and may
be he will give it to you.'
the man looked very dubious about
this fellow being of any help to him.
Sedgwlck took a little piece of paper
and wrote on it
The sutler will let the bearer have some whskey.
JOHN SEDGwIcK.
He handed it to the man, and,
without looking at it, the man said:
Now, you think this will fetch it,
do you?'
Il think it will, said Sedgwick.
The man opened the piece of paper
and read it:
John Sedgwick!' Then he took
keener look at this unknown officer
and identified him.
We'll, said he, i reckon no suit
Ter will get this piece of paper. I'd
rather have this than the whiskey,'
and away he went"

The Lifting of the Veil.

Between the here and the hereafter,
Heavens repose and earthly strife,
Hangs mystic veil, dividing
Soul from soul, and life from life.
Soft as dew falls on the water,
Or as mist, on mound aud dale,
Noiseless as bud unfolding,
Is the lifting of the veil.
When we pine, with restless longing,
Some long vanished form to view,
Seems the veil luminous ether,
Sanity faces shining through.
And we almost catch the whisper,
Soft as sigh of summers gale,
Almost see beckoning finger,
At the lifting of the veil.
Yet, when all our soul is weary
At life's turmoil, pain, and whirl,
And we strive to rend the curtain,
Lo! we beat 'gainst walls of pearl.
We have missed the crystal doorway,
Or the keys celestial fall,
While we wait without, impatient
For the lifting of the veil.
When the face we love, grows pallid,
Clearer, purer, day by day,
Till we see the spirits lustre,
Shining through the vase of clay.
When the jewel leaves the casket,
How we moan, and weep, and wall,
At the beckoning of the angel,
At the lifting of the veil.
To the Infinite Creator,
His grand universe is one,
Far-off corridors uniting
Sea and sky, and earth, and sun.
1t is all our Fathers mansion,
And the loved our hearts bewail,
Have but reached an inner chamber,
At the lifting of the veil.
Though we cannot hear their footsteps,
AS they journey to and fro,
In those hidden, shining chambers,
Noiseless as the falling snow.
Though we cannot see their vestments,
Silvery white as moonbeams pale,
We shall meet them fair as angels,
AT the lifting of the veil.
With his present works so mighty,
And his splendors spread abroad,
What must be the secret places,
Of the palace of our God!
Not with sorrow, nor with anguish,
But with rapture, should we hail,
Every beckoning of the angel,
Every lifting of the veil.

RULES TO BE EOBSERVED BY
CHURCH GOERS.

When you 60 to church early take
the end of the seat next the aisle and
stick to it. Never move along. 1t
is so convenient for others to edge
along past you especially if your
shanks are little long. When some
one takes a seat behind you, look
around first then lean over to your
neighbor and say something, then
smile 1t makes the in-comer feel so
comfortable. When the service be-
gins, talk a good deal to the person
sitting next to you, and just loud
enough to make it interesting to those
in front. If possible come in late,
about the time the preacher is giving
out the second hymn, so you can be
taken through the congregation-es-
pecially is you are young lady with
your first beau. When you sit in
front in the church, have something
to laugh at. 1t is so inspiring to the
preacher. If you do come early, be
sure to look around at everybody who
comes in afterward. If you do this
it will be sure to indicate the bent of
your thoughts. If you are member
of the church, and stranger is sit
ting near you, don't offer your hymn
or prayer-book. Such action would
indicate too much familiarity. If
you are stranger don't put anything
in the collection basket. 1t isn't
necessary that you keep up the ex-
penses of the church. Try by all
means, to leave the church as the
benediction is being pronounced.
Your departing steps can be SO clear
ly heard, especially if you have your
screech boots on.

Life, Death and Eternity.

And what is life? L pray you tell;
A sluggard's paradise,
Where fools and idlers flourish well
And troubled winds ne'er rise?
All, no, my child! A battlefield
Where each must take side;
And midst the strife sabre WELD
And to the van guard ride.
Then what is Death? / beg you tell;
A pail, shroud, a bier,
A saddened dirge, funeral knell
And friends who watch and fear?
All, no, my child! IT'S but a night
Ofquiet peaceful sleep;
When morning brings the golden light,
Sad watchers cease to keep.
Eternity! Say, what is it,?
A cold and darkened tomb,
Where hope is vain and hopers sit
And wait long years their doom?
All, no, my child! One common breath
Win watt you to its shore
There sickness, sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more,
