A STRANGE STORY.


Somebody has unearthed an old
prophecy for the year 1856, Of a de-
cided uncomfortable nature. 1t APP
pears that in the church of Obere-
ment, near Germany, there is a stone
tablet some centuries old, on which
is cut the prophetic verse: when
Mark shall bring us Easter, and An
thony shall sing praises at Pentecost,
and John shall swing the censor at
the feast of Corpus Domini, then
shall the whole earth resound with
weeping and wailings.' Now, it SO
happens that next year Easter falls
on st. Mary's day, Pentecost on that
of st. Anthony of Padua, and the
Corpus Domini comes on st. John
the Baptist's day, June "a. Here,
then, are the first conditions of the
prophecy fulfilled, SO that non-be-
levers in prophecies and anxious
minded persons generally have only
to sit down and think of everything
disagreeable that can possibly hap
pen to this poor old planet and the
dwellers thereon between January
and December, 1886.

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.

Today, Sept. 9th,) is the nine
teenth anniversary of the arrival in
Helena of the Fisk overland expedi-
ton Of 1866. The colony of about
500 formed a nucleus at st. Paul in
March and April Of that year, and la
ter on rendezvoured.. at st. Cloud,
growing in strength to the time Of
departure in May. With colors flying
the lead wagons crossed the boundary
of Minnesota west Of Abercrombie,
followed by a train Of mule, horse
and OK teams a mile in length. In the
column were a goodly representation
of ex-soldiers mustered out of the
volunteer service of the Union army
the year before. These veterans with
other adventurous young men were
we'll armed and mostly mounted,
forming a strong body guard to the
westward moving pioneer families
forming a good part Of the expedition.
The long march across the plains,
guided by the commander, Col. Jas.
L. Fisk, was successfully accomplish
ed. Strong appetites and good health
attended all. Not & life was loss.
Single ox-teams drew 5000 weight
and grew fat. Brief tarrying points
were at Forts Berthold and Benton
and Sun River, the headwaters of
which were Intellectually explored for
gold. The colony pitched their tents
on the plateau east Of Last Chance
on the day corresponding with this,
nineteen years ago. They separated
rapidly after and scattered over the
Territory. Those who remained in
and about Helena engaged in trade,
mining, farming and mechanical and
other pursuits. Numbers are here
still, generally wellto-do, some OF
them wealthy in goods, mines, farms,
stock, etc. Others elsewhere in Mon
tana have been equally prosperous

young, making no attempt at escape,
never uttered a sound. They had been
Matched out apparently but a short
time.
Third in point of size IS the Sharp
tailed grouse, the bird we commonly
call out here the prairie chicken"
The true prairie chicken, or Pinnated
grouse of the eastern States, has new
er been found in this Territory that L
know of. The Sharp-tailed grouse IS
the most commonly distributed OF the
different species. In summer they
are usually found about the heads OF
%coulees where the grass and weeds
grow tall and rank, or among the
bunch-grass neart the mountains. Here
they live on grasshoppers and various
other insects, along with vegetable
food. Winter storms drive tEem into
the timber along the river bottoms,
where they feed to a great extent on
cottonwood and poplar buds. Ii the
weather is very cold and the snow
lies thick on the ground. after feeding
in the tree tops for several hours they
will plunge into some big snow bank
and remain buried for two or three
days or till hunger compels them to
come out. Some, perhaps all the
other species Of grouse have this same
habit Of living through asevere storm.
In those parts Of the country where
grain has only been raised for a year
or two these birds seldom come near
the fields, but after a while they learn
to prefer the grain fields and stubble
as much as the prairie chicken Of the
east does.
The two remaining species OF the
five are the Ruffed grouse, partridge
or pheasant as it is variously called,
and the Canada grouse or Spruce
partridge. Both ne rather small
| species. The first is SO named from
the tufts of black feathers or rufus on
each side of the neck. This Is the
bird that produces the well known
drumming, probably by striking the
wings together over the back. Ou1
bird is somewhat smaller and graye1
than eastern specimens and is regard
ed as a variety Of that bird. The old
are seldom found more than two OF
three together, never in large coyeys

The Spruce partridge is a strictly
mountain bird with US, quite common
in some Of the higher ranges. The
males are handsome, below mostly
black with many white spots, above
blackish and slate-gray. The females
resemble somewhat the young Of the
raffed grouse, but may be distin-
guished by the feathering Of the legs
down to the toes. In the ruffed grouse
the tarsus is bare. The Spruce par
fridge is the bird to which the name
Of "fool hen" is commonly applied
The trait from which it gets thi!
name, viz: that Of remaining perfect,
motionless sometimes when threaten
ed with imminent peril, is one sharee
in to a greater or less extent by other
of the family.
Besides these grouse, all nor 0
less common in suitable localities
there is one, perhaps TWO other kind
to be found on some Of the highe
mountains. They are alpine specie
called Ptarmigan and change from
brown in summer to pure white Il
winter. [ don't know that any speci
mems have actually ever been takeni i
