The Last sad Rites.

One morning last week the Butte
Miner caught on TO and published the
following mournful item: Frank
Quinn, the rancher whojumped from
a second-story window last Wednes-
day morning, and in consequence had
his remaining leg amputated, died at
the Sisters hospital yesterday"
In the afternoon Of the same day
the Inter-Mountain rounded-up the
sad affair and detailed the magnani-
NOUS action of Quinn's old time
friends in the following words: "Silas
F. King, A. T. Mcmillan and some
other gentlemen who had known
Quinn several years ago when he was
a prosperous resident Of Butte, acting
on one Of those generous impulses so
characteristic Of old Moutanians de-
cided, on reading the above item. that
they would see to Frank having a
good send-of. So they set about ar
ranging for his funeral i'm manner
commensurate with their feelings in
the matter. After arranging the
necessary preliminaries, they secured
an undertaken and went down to the
hospital to measure the corpse for a
coffin. On being ushered into the
chamber of death they were not little
surprised at seeing the corpse sit up in
bed and eagerly enquire If they had
brought bottle with them. This is
the point where this affecting tale
ends"

the Odd Fellows had here the other
day when George Rhode wanted them
to bury the wife of brother, while
the lady was alive, well aud happy.

General Grant did many good things for the country while he was President, but per haps the best was his veto of the imitation bill. He vetoed this bill in the face of great opposition, but it was not long before the wisdom of his action was fully apparent
 Senator Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, is frank man. He says: "Civil service reform S a fraud. I am one of the seventeen Dem ocrats who voted against it, and have never seen the day that would not vote for it's repeal" But the reform will go on just the same as if it had the approval of the honor able Joseph.
 Chairman Browne of the Maine Democratic State committee has proved that he is the man for the office he holds. He has secured the ssbouncing'' of one hundred and three fourth class postmasters in Maine and the ap- pointment of one hundred and three sound Democrats in their places. Browne is very effective partisan.
 The French have revived an old Revolu tionary law which makes the State take charge of every seventh child of family in necessitous circumstances, from the age of six An attempt to establish scholarships in all the colleges for the benefit of this child, whether necessitous or not, was, however, voted down. The object of this is to dimin- ish the French reluctance to having children.
 Dora White, who is described as western advocate of additional rights for her sex, rises to demand that divorces be made easier for women and absolutely denied to men. Only by such reform, she thinks, would feminine helplesshess be made equal to mas culine peridy in courtship and marriage. Such plan, if adopted, might do good in making men more careful about marrying.
 Oldham, England, claims to be the greatest cotton spinning center in the world. The net profits of the mills were IA per cent. in 1880, 71s per cent. in 1881, 61s per cent in 1883, and per cent. in 1884. The sixty companies have made an average dividend for eight years of 31a per cent. The sixty companies included in the comparison have a paid up capital of $12,sOO,OOo, and are fairly representative of the general average.
 The geology of natural gas wells is exciting much attention. The weight of evidence seems to show that it is useless to prospect for natural gas except along anticlinal ridges, the theory being that the gas, owing to its volatility, seeks the highest cavities in the rocks, escaping from the hollows Of pended strata. An instance of this is shown in the Great Kanahwa valley, above Charleston, West Virginia, where the whole region has been honeycombed with borings for salt, and the only gas wells struck lie in belt few rods wide along the crest of the Browns town anticlinal axis. The gas belt of Wes- tern Ohio follows the line of the Cincinnati arch, and so

Farming i'm Rhode Island.

A score of years ago, in such a season as the present one, the farmers in this vicinity would have only fairly begun their having. Now, with the improved machinery in use on many places, very large part of the hay is already in the barn. Monday an immense amount of grass was cut. The best old hay now brings twenty y-eight dollars per ton. The prospect now is that the potato crop will be the best that has been grown in at least six years. The strawberry growers generally appear to be we'll satisfied with the crop and the returns therefor. Many have received an average of about ten cents per quart wholesale. It costs on an average two cents per quart for the picking and two cents per quart for the marketing, leaving six cents per quart for the labor of raising, manure and interest on the capital invested in the land, which, for an average crop of twenty five hundred quarts per acre, is about one hundred and fifty dollars. Few crops will pay better in this vicinity, consequently the acreage is gradually extended year by year. Providence has been better market than Boston this year, at one time berries bring ing nearly double in the former place than was obtained in the last named city.

ANOTHER WHISKY SCHEME.
 It appears that the whisky nnen are not yet satisfied. They are very persistent fel- lows. Twice within three years Congress has refused to extend the bonded period on whisky, but the whisky ring has succeeded in delaying payment of the tax, and now it is said to be engaged in a new scheme which has for it's object the postponement of the payment of the tax eighteen months longer.
 If whisky is to be exported no internal rev enue tax is imposed. Formerly after the bonded period of three years had elapsed the distillers were given thirty days to get their liquor to an export port and, at the discre- tion of the collector, reasonable time, never to exceed eighteen months-time for a sail ing vessel to go around the world--was add ed for delivery at foreign port. When the certificate of arrival was returned the whisky was free, but any time before that the dis tillers might pay the tax and send it back to this country. Attorney General Brewster decided that thirty days was not enough to get whisky from the distilery to the seaboard and increased the time seven months. This made bond ed period of forty three months. No whisky has been started for the seaboard, and the makers apparently do not intend to have it pay the tax. So now they come and say that, as the law stands, they are allowed twenty-five months between the distillery and the foreign port; that it makes differ ence to the government whether it starts in seven months or twenty-four Time, they say, is not an essential feature in the con- tract So they ask that the rules be changed, so that, instead of shipping their liquor seven months after the bonded period ex- pires, they will be at liberty to do any time within twenty-five months. That is, they want the bonded period extended lit tie over two years byss clear evasion of the law.
 This is an interesting scheme, and it will be interesting to notice it's fate. It hardly seems possible for it to succeed, but the dis tillers' agents in Washington have done so much that it would be rash to say that they could not do this also. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says: At the internal revenue office the effort is characterized in strong terms, but no one doubts the power of the whisky ring and the voices against it are only in whispers. The whole thing is based on so fimsy fraud upon the exportation laws, when exportation is not thought of. that the confidence of the whisky men is in striking contrast with the hesitation of the officials This afternoon the matter was called to the Presidents at tention, and he will see that no steps are taken without his approval. He has no idea of having such another scandal as the last administration on this matter without know ing what is going on.

If, after waiting, this firman is brought in person by an aid de camp of the Sultan, what was civility be- comes deference. The guards who a moment ago waved you aside that black eunlch might pass and be saluted now present arms to you, and another eunuch, a tall white fel- low, comes forth to receive his hlghness command.
