Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1885-1890, 1885-11-21

John Mccullough was the son of
an Irish farmer, and was born near
Londonderry, in 1887. Losing his
father when young, his education de-
volved upon an uncle The boy came
to New York in 1853, beng almost
penniless on landing. Drifting to
Philadelphia he devoted himself to
chairmaking, but soon left to become
an actor, on salary of 81 a week.
His first appearance was as Thomas,
in "The Bellies Stratagem," at TIE
Arch Street Theater. in August, 1857.
Playing in Boston in 1858, he return
ed to Philadelphia, and soon after at
tracted Forests attention. So pleas
ed was the great tragedian with the
young actors talent that he gave him
place in his company, IN which Nc
Collough remained until 1866. In
1881 he visited London, achieving a
brilliant success. Each year seemed
to confirm his popularity, and so
thoroughly had his leading roles be-
come identified with his name, that
it will be long before the public will
accept of any substitute. His splendid
physique and round, melodious voice
supplied the requisite tragic dignity
and delighted the audience. His
Brutus has rarely been equaled, while
his Ghost in Hamlet snrpasses any
thing that has preceded it. Among
the incidents in the life of McCol-
Tough, the following is related to IL
lustrate the kindly nature which was
the motive behind his acts on and off
the stage: He has a sister to whom
he was always tenderly attached.
When John, as she called him, went
upon the stage it was hard shock to
her feelings. These 'sstage people, =
as they are called in the north Of Ire
land, have uncanny regulations, and
John and his sister drifted apart for
years. In the meantime his sister
had married and collected a family
around her in a small home in the
| country. But misfortune came, the
home was sold, and his sister came to
the city. These facts came to the ears
of John, the player man." He went
to the country, sought out the old
HOMESTEAD, purchased it, came back,
| visited his sister, took her to the
country and settled her at the old
| place.

the spring, giving it chance to fat
ten before winter, which seldom sets
in before the LIST of December.
Young men frequently come to this
country, invest in sheep and hire some
jin-crow herder and go to the nearest
town and have q good time spouting
around and spending money which
should be expended on his ranch, in
buying wagons, mowers, building
sheds, &c. But all such generally
come out with no flock. but consider
cradle knowledge.
Parties who contemplate stock rails
ing, and who have limited capital,
should come here and hire out to
some good owner of stock; work one
year, then he has experience, has made
good wages, and if he has taken an
interest in his work can start for him
self and push forward with safety, as
he has been over the ground and
knows what to do. All kinds of stock
raising must have some one who I'M
derstands it, and is not afraid to get
out and look after his herd and keep
them from punching in winter.
There is no other business more prof
table than the herds in this Terri
tory, as thousands of instances will
show. I find there are men in the
country who are advertising to learn
young men the cattle business for a
certain sum of money. This will do
for people who have more money than
brains.
People who read these few lines
and study them we'll will find consid-
cradle in them of advantage when
they start in the stock business, as I
have not taken my knowledge from
hear-say, but from years of actual ex-
perience and observation. A.

WILL PROBABLY CLOSE.

The startling news comes from
Butte that the owners of the princi
pal silver mines in that camp have
decided to close their mills on Janua-
ry 1st. unless the railroad company
can be prevailed upon to give them
better rates on salt, which article is
the most important used in the treat
ment of silver ore The mills are
seven in number and have a crushing
capacity of nearly 5000 tons month.
The salt used by them is estimated at
$50 tons month. The original cost of
the salt is Sc per ton, and the railroad
EFFORTS from them $40 a ton for haul
ing the article distance of 400 miles.
This rate is shown to be exorbitant,
inasmuch as the same company de-
livers coal in Butte from Wyoming, a
much greater distance, at 50 and So a
ton. The mine owners have done ex-
act1y right and we hope they will
hold out until the railroad company
will come to terms. The history OF
every railroad throughout the western
country show that they tax every in
dustry just as much as it viii stand.
The only way the producers and
shippers can bring about proper
adjustment Of transportation rates, is
to pool the same as the railroads do

The Messenger From waterloo.


The messenger who was employed to
convey to the Rothschilds in London
the news OF the victory of waterloo was
ordered to call upon the king of France,
(Louis XvllD, at Brussels, on the way
He did so, then proceeded to the Ro. his
chllds. After they mad extracted from
him all the information he possessed
they sent hun on to Lord Liver
pool, the prime minister, in order tnat
the government might reeve It'd
ings of this great event. Lord Liver
pool could make nothing out of the
man, ard after examining and cross ex-
aiming him for some time, he felt in
creasirgly skeptical as to the authority
of the news which he brought.
He then sent for Mr.. Croker and told
him that the messenger had come from
Waterloo with the things of victory,
but that his story was confused, and it
was Therefore difficult to accept it as
genuine. Thereupon Mr. Croker began
10 question the man with all his
legal acumen, but he succeeded no
letter than Lord Liverpool in make
ng the narrative ineligible. When
about to give it up in despair, as last
resource and by a sudden impulse, Mr..
Iroker ques Toned the messenger as to
his interview with the french king. and
he asked him how the king was dressed.
The messenger repl ed, in his dress

what the king did and said to him, to

truth it proved;

The Josh b. .ugs school


Spelling reform, as much as can lr
said for it, does not advance with head
long rapidity. In few periodicals W..
find tho, Civ, and lloso.y, but, at tie
present rate of advance, it may be
feared that new anomalies will arise
faster than old ones ale done away; il.
other words, that the reforming schGl-
ars, so far from demonstrating TIE
orthos raphy, will hardly Le able TO keep
1t In repair. And, furthermore, 1t is
said that the reiormers themselves 10
not use the new spelling. OF course,
the writer of an article Tor publication
would give the old ortnography becalse
of the hardness of hear" of its read
ers; and one might fear, even in pri-
vate letter, to write the address of Miss
Soozan Joans. But it is more than sus-
pected that even in his private note
book, which is to come only under his
own eye, and which he can spell accord
ing to the dictates of his own conscience,
the average refolmer uses the very or
typography which in public he de-
nounces
The present spelling is almost impreg-
nably intrenched in the fact that those
who must make the suggested changes
all know the old photography, and for a
generation or two, at least, their chill
dren will be obliged to master it, and
that thoroughly. Now, when one has
learned it, why should he not use it, If
one has become able to han1le the spell
ing phthisic, why not employ it, especi-
ally when he is not certain whether the
method would make it tizzic or tizik2 1t
would, for some reasons, be better if
nickel-plated watches were carried in
stead of gold time pieces; but when a
man has ueen obliged to purchase gold
watch, he will incline to carry it, especi.
ally if he is not the owner of nickel
plate. So, as long as the children are
under the necessity of learning the old
ortho yraphy, they will be inclined to
continue its use.

pie.e of thick paste board. Cut it out

space one layer deep with small shot.
then take the shot out and put it into a
rectangular box, run it down to one end
until you have a perfect rectangle, then
measure the base and attitude and mul-
