IEGrsLATIvE ASSEMBLY.

The Fourteenth Session Of the Legis!a'
tive Assembly Of Montana is one Of the
things Of the past. The session was OF
sixty DAYS duration. The amount Of work
accomplished will be ascertained next week
when we will publish a list of the laws
enacted. The large number Of bills intro
duccd during the session evidently had a
paralyzing effect on the honorable gentle
men composing the Legislature, and as a
result many Of the bills died in their ins'p'
lent stages or were left to be packed home
to the bosoms of the constituents Of mem
beers, from which resting place the identical
same bills may be resurrected and born
again on some future occasion. The fail.
ure to pass these bills may be small god.
send to the people. We are unable, at this
writing, to tell how much the session has
been worth to the people Of the Territory,
but hope Montanians will be able to real.
lie twenty cents worth Of good on the
dollar for their investment In the Four
teenth Session Of the Legislative Assembly.

THE GREAT ANNULAR ECLIpsE

Inc coming great annular eclipse, which
takes place on next Monday, the 10Th inst,
will be such phenomenon as few persons
now living have seen, or will sec, unless
they witness that which is to come "a.
shortly. The moon will pass between the
earth and the sun, and when the moon
reaches the center of the sun, the o,,ter
edge OF that great luminarv will be visible
as perfect ring OF fire all around the
moon The ring will not be perfectly visi.
bic in all parts OF Montana, but it will w.
continuous Or nearly SO, throughout South
er" Montana. The eclipse will take nlac..
!" the morning and it will be over thirty
years before another such will appear.

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.

Durin. the year 1854 the United States
.xnorted merchandise goods of the value
Of S74o, 20, 500, and imported of the value
of $6,o,,,7,73o, leaving balance in our
favor of Sl.oo76,67o. The business was
not as good as in some former years, but
that would make us a very rich people in
little while if we could keep 1t all here,
but there is still great deal of interest and
principal to pay to Europe, and Of the Inn
ports at least $2oo,ooo,o> sRuld never
have come. Our own artisans should have
done the work and received the money.

The inspectors report that in their opin.

mony OF both these men is silen, regard

WORK OF THE LAST CONGREss

In the Forty.eighth Congress s, .66 bills
were introduced in the House, and .,,66 in
the Senate, but only 3ss of these bills he.
came laws Several important measures
did not reach final action. Some of them
deserved better fate, such as Commercial,
treaties the bankrupt bill, the bill to rep,.
late the electoral count, and that to fix the
raes'aent'"l succession. Some others, such
as b'air's school bill, and bills creating the
national trail and suspending the coinage
o. silver deserved to die OF neglect. The
rouse passed some Goo bills, which were
defeated or suffered to die in the Senate

An AnIsrard DISCLOSURE.

An Ottawa (Ont.) special says Con-
siderable interest has been attached to
a recent disclosure made in the publica
ton of an extract from the Official Ga
setfe, in which Sir David Macpherson,
Minister Of the Interior, was dismissed
from lieutenaney in the Canadian
militia by Lord Elgin, Governor-Gen-
eral Of Canada, in ls49, for signing
manifesto asking for annexation TO the
United States.
This event in the life of Sir David
appears to have been lost sight of. and
il is hardly probable that the Queen
would have conferred a title upon him
had the fact been laid before her. The
patriotic knight has recently been de-
