PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A little kindness goes good ways
It is foolish to be obstinate over
tribes.
Few things are impossible 10 dill
gence and skill.
Faith is the medium between
despair and presumption.
It is not so difficult to know ones
self, as to confess the knowledge
Each departed friend is magnet
that attracts us to the next world.
The serene, silent beauty OF a holy
life ID the most powerful influence In
the world.
No fault can be as bad as the feeling
which is quick to see. and speak of
the faults Of others.
Oneof the best rules in conversation
Is never to say anything that any one
present can wish unsaid.
Fully to understand a grand ana
beautiful thought, requires perhaps as
much time as to conceive it:
We should never wed an opinion for
better or for worse: what we take
upon good ground we should lay down
upon better.
A cheerful way Of talking viii. soon
chase away gloomy feelings in our
own minds, and we all know how in
spring to US are such words from
another.
Don't forget three little words--tIf
you please" Life is made up not of
great sacrifices or duties. but of little
things. of which smiles and kindness
and small obligations. given habitualIy
are what win and preserve the heast
and secure comfort.
The loving heart Is the strong heart
The generous hand Is the hard TO
cling to when the path is dificuly.
There is room for the exercise of chas-
ity everywhere--in business, III So
ciety, and In the church; but the first
and chiefest need for it is al home
where 1t is the salt which keeps all
things sweet. the aroma which nakes
every hour charming, and the divirs
light which shines star-llke through
all gloom and depression.

bndo me good bye last night, she said,
and left On the up coach u dawn. He
did not tell me where be was going, and
he may never come back. And then &
wave of speculation swept over the village
for nine days and vas still.
The shock headed boy was at the post
Office when the night coach dashed up,
and when the. man from Nod alighted,
it was the boy who took his smallest
satchel with the unconscious COM
mandery Of old acquaintance; and it was
the boys sturdy legs that, Of their own
volition, started the brief procession to-
ward Mrs. Denny's house. But as the
man and the larger satchcl meekly fol-
lowed, it is to be presumed that on this
occasion the juvenile instinct was not IN
fault. AT the gate the guide was feed
handsomely aud dismissed
The man from Nod was certainly not
asleep this time. Dropping his satchel
on the grass, he passed through the empty
and unlighted parlOr, went into the
dining-r0om only to find it deserted, and
passed from thence on into the kitchen,
where he heard well beloved voice
singing softly to itself.
III, as he afterward told her, his heart
had grown hungry for her, /" it must
have been Toasted and fed on the mamma
of heaven then. Her white arms were
bare to the elbows. o huge apron hung
as shield between the dishpan and the
spotless lawn about her, there was blue
ribbon at her throat, flush on her cheek
and into her eyes flashed sudden
light, that the dullest " .aggard in love, !"
Of all the land could have translated.
The China tcacup IN her hand was in
danger, when he closed in upon her. If
he had not kissed her then, or had felt
that his duty was done in kissing her
once, all the dark insinuations of the
woman over the way ought to have been
true against him, for the very credit of
mankind.
II have done your bidding, " he said
an hour later, as they stood together
under the honeysuckle vines. II have
not written to you. The road has been
hard one, but it has been good for my
soul, and it has brought me back to you.
1t has shown that there is no doubt and
no shadow of turning in my love for you."

ALI the answer that she gave, and all
the answer that he sought was this !:
She laid her hands in his, and with her
head upon his breast, she whispered: II
have given my life into your keeping.
My faith goes with it. Lead me where
you will. I"
''But of me--my home, my life, my
past"

The Products or Natural Gas.

An open letter on /" Natural Gas
Wells, " in the Century, contains the fol-
lowing: 8 The products of natural gas
are numerous. The most important thus
far are lamp or carbon black and carbon
points for the electric light. There are
ten carbon black works in operation,
making 5000 pounds of black per day.
At remote point. in Armstrong county,
Pa, Boston firm has large works, locally
known as THE mystery, on account Of
the secrecy with which 1t is conducted.
Here they make the black, and it is sup
posed coloring matter also, from the gas.
At Stuartsou furnace, in the same county,
is another works where the carbon
points are made. Both these works are
guarded, and a strangersis not permitted
to be about them. A number of persons
are experimenting with the gas, with as
many different objects in view. 1t is
impossible to learn what has been accom-
plished, as they are quick to see the ad-
vantage of keeping secret any discovery
they may have made. What the future
Of this wonderful fuel Is would be diff
cult to foretell Natural gas springs are
known to exist in many parts Of the
United States. This would seem to In
dictate q wide distribution of it. In
August last large we'll was struck at
Crestline, Ohio, which may open vast
territory. Where gas may or may not
be found can only be determined by the
drill. How far it may influence the
manufacturing interests Of the years to
come depends upon It's supply"

A member of the New York board
Of trade and transportation says:
"The war on silver has begun and
the batteries arc opening all along
the line. The New York CONNER
cial organizations are ably seconded
by nearly every similar institution
in the United States, and we have
battalions of recruits to fight the
good cause in nearly every city east
of the Rocky Mountains. OF course
l do not include Denver or the 9th
err cities of Colorado, but in every
commercial centre there is decid-
ed opposition to further inactivity
in this direction, and, in spite of the
prediction of some of the wiseacres,
/ think we shall start in with a ma
jority of congress in favor of the to-
tai suspension of the coinage of the
standard silver dollar on the first of
next December"

The New York Herald speaks in
the highest terms of the progress
made by the south since the close of
the war, and pays our people the
following deserved compliment:
s'Nowhere else on the planet can be
found people, all of whom were
soldiers by the force of circumstan-
ces, whose wives and daughters were
inflamed with an enthusiasm which
counted no sacrifice, not even that
Of wealth and home, a hardship who
after the first pangs of humiliation
at defeat so quickly turned to the
work of reconstruction under the
new and unwelcome regime. The
old cotton fields were ploughed
afresh, and with the help of horses
taken from the cavalry service; the
manufactures which had gone to
ruin were repaired; the various in
dustries which had ceased were start
ed anew; emigration from the north
poured in upon unused land; north
ern capital encouraged southern en-
terprise, uutil the rolling years
brought forgetfulness and develop
ed a common interest in the govern
ment which came so near being rude
ly shattered"

man who is afraid to discuss public

people informed on political matters,

truth is the people are already sur
feited with politics and constant ag-

seous, and prudent man will not
impose distasteful matter upon a
reading public. The people never

who is constantly calling upon them
to climb a hill not yet in sight. At
present there are no questions of
party policy before the country and
to prccipitate discussion of any
question would be simply hand to

would feel no interest. With the

1t is impossible to conceive of any
lower degradation than that the re-
publicans of Virginia have sunk to
by allowing Malone to fasten his
collar upon their necks. But it is
doubtful if Malone and his gang
will ever make another effort after
the coming fall elections, for even
their relations will not know them
after the contest.-Affalo News,

If Ferran has not made a great
discovery his process may contain
the germs Of one. If his process is
really of no value it's worthlessness
should be scientifically demonstrate
ed, for incubation that brings no
protection may do more harm than
good. Those who rely upon it may
be led to neglect ordinary precau-
tons whose value is beyond ques-
tion.-New York Times.
New Workers are said to give very
few ducats to the republican cam
paign in Virginia. The Albany
Times says they do not believe he
can be elected, and adds: "Tis fol-
ly to be Wise" Nevertheless, the
democrats had better not relax any
effort to defeat him. With or with
out money, the Malone combination
is tough customer to tackle and
overthrow. - Augusta Chronicle,

The sum and substance is that
England, as nation, does not, &C
cording to all appearances, intend
or expect to go to war; that war,
whatever it's event, could not fail to
be calamitous to her foreign COM
merce and to her internal progress;
but that, should it become necessary
to fight, England would prove as
formidable an antagonist to the
great empire Of the mouth as she did
to the First Napoleon.-Providenc

The people have taken even less
interest in the old issues since 1880,
and now the almost universal and
manifestly sincere expressions of es-
TEEN for the character of Gen.
Grant and sorrow for his death in
the southern states, responsive to
his own patriotic rejoicing in the
complete restoration of fraternal
feelings which he felt had been Sc
cured, will make them even more
impatient of attempts to gain par
tisan advantage by stirring up Sec
tional prejudice.-Boston Herald,

The "American Colony" in Lon
don is reported to be "much eXer-

rect in stating the means which
some of these Americans have re-
sorted to i'm order to secure an en-
trance to the London clubs, black
ball seems to be about the only pro-
per means of rcbuking their obtru-
siveness. Americans who will tOa-
dy to snobs must not be surprised at
receiving a snob's rebuff, and there
will be neither sorrow nor sympathy
felt for them on this side the Allan

To TIE Editor Ne,c North Vest

To Tie Editor Netc North Vest
In compliance with invitation contained
in your issue of the 18th inst. IN regard to
1.-THE First Cattle Expectation" / submit
the following, which may assist materially I'm
correcting the statements of the veteran
Madison county stockgrower:
The first beef drive out Of this Territory
was made by me for orenstein & Pepper, of
Salt Lake City, in October, 1868. The cattle
were purchased Of p. Largely, who was then
agent for Ed. Creighton, and used in the Salt
Lake market and in filling contracts along
the U. p. X. r. The same fall, but later, a
mixed herd, consisting of steers, dry cows
aud hsifers, was driven by Jerry Mann to
Utah and sold to Maj. Bent, who had "a.
mile grading contract on the Promontory.
In the following spring q band of about 200
head was driven from Beaverhead and sold
to Col Johns, of Salt Lake City.
The first shipment of Montana cattle Esst
was made by James Forbes from Ogden, in
1874. He purchased out of Mr.. Kohrs' Sun
River herd. The same year n Mr.. Allen pur-
chased q large band of steers In Madison
county and shipped from Granger. In 1876
Mr.. Kohrs drove from his Sun River range
and shipped from Cheyenne. The Aadso-
niaa stock man evidently refers to the third
drive that was made from his section of the
Territory. The provisions, equipments and
men were shipped from the East, and, from
all accounts, It was hard to tell which was
the most scared on behoiding the other,
Joseph, Howard, or the carpet COW boys who
had GENE West for their health.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING,
John Wesley Jones, of Race Track.

At2 o'clock last Saturday, John Wesley
jones' well known resident Of the valley,
living a couple Of miles above Race Track,
saddlcd his horse and went east across the
river 10 look up some stock. About 4 y. m.
heavy lightning storm prevailed-the Sc
v"r"st and accompanied by the heaviest rain
that has fallen at William Hartleys ranch
this year-so severe that Mr.. Hartley's stock
hcrdcr was blinded 10y the lightning and the
band he was driving got away and ran back
TO the mountains. 1t appears Mr.. Jones had
crossed the river and was in the lnidst of this
storm, although the fact was not discovered
until later. His failure TO return caused some
apprehension by his family Saturday night,
and early Sunday morning his brother started
out 10 search for him. He was not found
Towards evening the services of six or eight
ueighbors were proffered and the search
commenced, which ended at 8 A. IN. NJ onday
by the finding Of the dead bodies of Mr.
Jones, his horse and his dog, on the western
slope Of "A knoll about one mile from the
mouth of Dry Cottonwood and a half mile
north Of that stream. He had evidently
been riding down the hill toward home
when the bolt struck him. The lightning
had struck him on top of the head, as the
crown of his lat was torn thence IL passed
downed through the body, tearing off the
front of his vest and passing through the hip
into and through the saddle, killing the
horse. In the fall he was thrown forward
and out of the saddle, his feet resting near 1t
and his hands being close together under
him, as IL he had been holding in his horse
and death had been instantaneous. His deg
was also found lying dead about ten feet
away. The index finger Of one hand was
torn off, few silver coins which had been
in his pocket book were found scattered
near the body, and his field glasses were
broken.
The body was taken home, and the facts
being so evident, no Coroner's Inquest was
hold. The remains were buried from the
Christian church, Deer Lodge, the ceremo-
MES being conducted by Rev. Galen Wood
at p. III. Tuesday. The funeral procession
was one of the largest there has been in the
valley.
