DtAONT'.s CHARACTER.

The announcement Of the capture
of Dumont, hiel's lieatenant in the
late insarrection, at Fort Assinoboine.
has led to inquiries being made here
as to who Dumont is, and the result
is thus shown:
He was born within three miles of
Winnipeg, nearly fifty years ago, and
belongs to well known half breed
family. He received some education,
and was always a deyout Catholic, but
being Of stern and romantic nature,
| early adopted the nomadic mode of
life. When but a child he was always
with gun on his shoulder, following
the game AS he advanced in years
he took to trapping, and soon turned
his profession to good account, as the
eager demand for furs by the Hudson
Bay company afforded him a ready
sale for the product of the hunt. He
soon saved money and began to be re-
garded among the Metis as a man of
wealth. He settled near Winnipeg
twenty years ago, and took part in
the Red River rebellion in 1869. He
did not figure prominently, as active
warfare was never resorted to. Dis
gusted with the municipal organiza-
ton after the province was formed,
and having horror of paying taxes,
he, in company with about one hun
dred other half breeds, moved north,
settling On the banks Of the Saskatch-
evan near Batoche, the scene Ct the
late conflict. Although his father and
sons titled the land, Gabriel devoted
most of his time to the chase, as game
was abundant in that district. He
would go off for five and six months
at a time and he return laden with
game. He was both respected and
feared by all the Indian tlibes through
whose country he ranged. Being
powerful, bold and fearless, he always
deemed himself match for five red
skins, and even larger number have
been known to run from him after in
curing his displeasure The PROPOSE
ton to have a rebellion readily caught
Dumont, as it afforded him an oppor-
tunity to crafty his love for adyen-
ture and change. On his own request
to the council ii is said he was made
director of military movements, a
position which he ably filled; and it
is stated that he wept with chagrin
when informed of his supporters de-
serting the rifle pits and leaving him
with mere handful to fight alone.
Riel says he was the last man to leave
the pits, and it was only when the
troops were charging down on the
pit he occupied that he leaped from
the pit, and casting his blood-stained
rife on the prairie, ran with great
speed for the bushes, half mile away.
How he reached Montana without be-
ing seen is strange, in view of the
large number of scouts kept patrol
ling the country through which he
must have passed.

AEOUT s HEEr.

Don't forget, says the Stockman
that only the best sheep will yield a
profit, and the poorer ones are bur-
den on the balance of the flock,
which cften leads the farmer to de-
eide that sheep don't pay. II such
men would Gull out all sheep that
clip a fleece this spring below GER
tain average, and then care for the
rest better, they might find that sheep
were not SO Improbable after all.
The same paper also we'll says:
place no confidence in any scheme
which seems to promise to make the
business profitable without insisting
on the highest Improvement Of the
stock, for it cannot be done The
sheep must be made to attain high
average in quality Of both fleece and
carcass All proftableness begins
and ends in the excellence or low
grade of the sheep, and the wise
shepherd will recognize this and
make the improvement Of his sheep
his constant study and labor. Pro-
lection Of course is u great help, and
one which all sheepmen most earn
estly desire, but it can only be regard
ed as an incidental assistance and
every sheep owner owes it TO himself
and to the interest at large to Iring
his stock up to such degree OF ex-
cellence that his help viii be less
needed to make his flock profitable.

A BIG WELL" IN ARIZONA.

In some sections of the no1tLecn
portion Of Arizona the question Of
water supply, even for domestic pur-
poses, is very serious one. This Is
particularly the cas- Q at A h Fork, a
station on the Atlantic & Pacific rail
road. A series of very lovely and
fertile valleys surround the place. and
plently of grass grows for the sup
port of large herds of cattle, but no
water can be had except from an oc-
casional tank during the winter
season At Ash Fork the railroad
company attempted to sink an artesi
an well, but after reaching depth of
900 feet the drill became fastened and
could not be removed. Many futile
attempts were made to extract it, but
at last it was abandoned in despair.
All water now used at that station
and by the residents of the town is
brought by rail from Pach Springs,
sixty-fve miles to westward, and is
sold at so cents per barrel.
A short time ago prospector. stim-
ulated by the inquiry for water, re-
ported that he had discovered huge
well, about eight miles from Ash
Fork, sunk in q level plain. Parties
ut once repaired thither with ropes
and other paraphernalia to exp'o.e
the wondrous discovery. They found
the locality, but to this day they do
not know the exact nature of the CT
rious cavern that met their gaze. It
islocated on level plain and cannot
be seen until is approached very near.
There is no evidence of the earth or
rock having been removed from the

A HAUNTED HOUSE.

Some very mysterious occurrences
have been noted for some time in de-
serted cabin on Clore street. It seems
to be pretty generally known in that
immediate vicinity that very strange
and unaccountable phenomena are in
some way associated with the old
cabin, such as shrleks Of apparently
suffering persons, groans, rappings on
the door, white specters instantly dis
appearing in the air, &c. A short
time ago, a little after midnight, one
Of the city police in making his accus-
toned walk near the cabin. heard the
groans of some one whom he suppos-
ed was in the very act of breathing
his last. Thinking that some one was
suffering foul play, he broke into the
cabin, lighted match and to his ut
ter surprise found nothing
From an old timer we learned that
this cabin was occupied in the early
days of the city by an old wench who
was suspected OF numbering more
than one unfortunate who had struck
it rich in mining camp days" The
evidence of foul play became SO clear
that the old fend was notified by
37-77 to pack her kit and skip" and
she did SO.
Since the first experience of the Of
ficer others have been keeping close
watch of the haunted cabin, and it is
asserted a reasonable explanation
found for these mysterious happen
ings. We hope to give satisft Glory

Along this river there grows a spe-
cies Of Pennyroyal not found east. It
is aromatic and pungent, and is sim
liar to the eastern Pennyroyal in flavor.
For those who like climbing vines
around their windows or over their
porches there is Clemalis Virgins
Bower) which is a nice plant and very
hardy; while in flower it is very pret-
ty. Most pants lose their beauty af-
ter towering: but, if anything, this
Clemalis is prettier in fruit than it IS
ia flower.
Montana can show good represen-
tation in most plant families and
among other pretty plants the little
blue bell OF hare-bell is worthy of
mention. The plant is fine and deli
cate with blue bell-shaped flowers.
The stem is a foot or more high and
smooth. This little plant is /; perennial
herb. 1t dies down every autumn.
but grows again the next season from
the same root-stalk, thus obviating the
necessity Of sowing fresh seed each
year when the plant is being cultivat-
ed. Blue BELLS and ferns usually go
together in tie more humid Of the
eastern States, but here they do not
affiliate, although both plants like
moist, rocky localities.
We find here three species Of Lupine.
The plant has no common name. But
its name comes from the Latin-lupus,
a wolf; because it overruns the fields
and devours their fertility. Although
the genus has an unsavory reputation
IN this respect, we find four or five
species and varieties cultivated in
gardens for ornament. Two of our
species are pretty.
The edible mushroom is common
here on the open prairies in the spring
This spring hes been so dry that they
are rather scarce this season.
In the mountains we find the Or !.
egon grale e, A pretty little plant
whose leaves bear sharp sp.nes some
thing like one sees on holly leaves,
only much smaller and not so strong
1t is said that the fruit is good when
cooked. It is not SO bad raw
We have several trees here that
would be nice for ornament or for
shade. The only one we will mention
is the Aspen Poplar (quaking ASH as
the miners call it. 1t is straight and
symmetrical For its successful
growth it requires a large quantity Of
moisture.
We also find in the mountains sew
eral kinds Of pretty lichens, which de
pend from the limbs of the spruce,
etc These lichens often attain two
feet in length. One kind is bright
yellow and al o her might be called a
creamy green. They would be nice
for ornamenting flower baskets and
other similar articles.
OF course this little sketch does not
take in even one-tenth of cur prettier
and rarer plants, Tut it will serve to
that this Territory is as rich
in useful and ornamental vegetation
as it IS in mineral wealth. Many of
our Montana plants could be made
useful and profitable if our people
would only turn their attention to
them. FRED ANDERSON.

BETTER THAN OFFICE.
Experience Of a Georgia l,an at til,
National Capital.

National Capital.
One man who came for an Office
has succeeded so much better than he
expected that his case is worth re-
cording. He came from Georgia and
relates his experience thus: Being a
Democrat, and not having much luck
at getting ahead at home, [ thought /
would get an office in Washington II
[ could. Letting no one bat my wife
and a friend know what [ was up to,
[ started. After landing here I saw
just as plain as day that the aate,
was too deep for ne: besides, hun
dreds of others a great deal smarter at
the business were ahead of me- I
had not much money, and SO, instead
of paying much attention to the Office,
[ began to look around for work OF
something to make a living while I
stayed. To tell you the truth, I had
not been much away from home, and
never in SO large a place before.
Somehow [ kinder felt [ could make
it go if only [ got a chance; and after
[ had looked around some and clap
ped my eye over things | thought l
saw chances, if only they were worked
right. [ have fancy [ have nat
ural gift for knowing chance as soon
as I see it. [ got this idea all at once
when | saw SO many ways and things;
SO many persons selling everything
and so many buying. | had about
SIS, and with it [ concluded to start.
[ had looked around the market,
where more money is spent in day
than in my town in a whole year
Why can't [ have some Of it? thought
l. Well, [ launched out 81 for Flor
ida oranges and SO cents more for a
basket. That day [ sold half the
oranges and had my money back.
How [ did work, though every
where into the houses and stores, and
somehow people bought willingly.
Maybe it was because [ was SO earnest
about it. The third day I had all the
oranges sold, with nearly S. profit in
my pockets. Better'n tfice, [ began
to think. While I was looking around
for another chance the dealer from
whom [ had had bought offered me
two other boxes. the last of a lot, for
$3.50; nice orrnges, too. [ knew at
once what [ could do with them. The
next morning | sold them for 81
box, $3.50 profit without breaking
bulk. [ had never before made money
so fast in all my life I kept on for
two weeks, and [ couldn't be hired to
take the office | was after [ begin to
think how well [ could fix myself
right here in Washington, with my
little wife and baby and the boy, who
by rights ought to be going to school.
You don't want to hear it all. It's
but two months and two days since I
came, and I have got $50 and every
thing paid up. What's better, there
are couple Of dealers in the market
who say they will back me for any
thing in reason l want to Go. I'm
thinking I'll keep on the line I've
been going for the present. I see SO
many chances that sometimes don't
know which to take [ wonder any
body that can work wants an office
here Some of the Georgia fellows
hanging around here have come to me
for money, but | tell 'em to go to
work, for there is heap more money

The Germs Of Cholera.
IFtom the Glohs.psmocru,.l


 The germs of Asiastic cholera, ac. cording to the theory advanced by the celebrated Dr. Koch, of Berlin. were exhibited at recent meeting of the Chicago Medical Society at the Grand Pacific Hotel by Dr. L. L. McArthur. Dr. Koch has devoted more time and study to the solution of the cholera problem than any other physician, and from the fact that he has so far established his theory over ali opposing onesr and successfully met all arpu- ments, no little interest in the subject IS felt by the people of this country, masmuch as cholera may cross the ocean during the coming summer. kochs comma bachillus of Asiatic cholera are the shape of the comma, and are distinguishable only when magnifed about 1000 times. They can be taken into the stomach with water, and although very few may be swallowed, their power of reproduc- ton IS so wonderful that in a day the victim will be suffering the agonies of fully developed case. Cholera is said to be the irritation of the stomach, caused by the presence of these pests The water in the blood is lost and death ensues. They pass from the victim and by going through the sew. CTS and down the river cause death to the people living along inc streams They may also be carried in tue air or the clothing. Moisture is an essential condition for their reproduction or life; if placed in a warm, dry place they will die after few weeks. Dr. Koch, in his experiments, carried this comma baehlllus through many gen. erations, and found the last. as bealtby as were the first. To prove his theory he caused deg to take the germs into his stomach. Death resulted in three days. Dr Me4lrthur received the bachillus from pr Koah's laboratory but few days ago and they are the first ever exhibited in Chicago. The physician present made close exam. jnations
