TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

How seldom we iind la this wide world OF woe,
A friendship which from the hearts fountain
doth flow,
Like waters that trekle from springs where the
green
Of the mosS-eoyered rock. may forever he seen.
lt- image hath often i,s fancies beguilet;
For like the image on the desert 50 Wild,
70 sparkles before es and seems to invite,
Vet cen as we g02e II has vanished from sight.
IN the glsHve Of the eye, ir the lips tender
smile
H. lovely reflection may glimmer the while;
We marx IT. poor lustre, and 10, u l. out;
For the glance i frown aud the smile l. a
pOut.
And thus we mistake these two faneiful CLEANS,
For the rays Of that friendship which modesly
beams, -,
Like the palm shaded spring in the deserts
dTcar breast
The hope os tlre RIVER the star Of his quest.
And when we have quafed of it, waters 20 pure
The Hash of the fountains must cease To allure
And the .xS.y hcs,le friendships though bright
they sppear, .-.
Are gladly forgotten for one that's sincere.

The unrivaIIed Territory ofthe North

salt Lake Tribune. I

L"alt
The year Just closed has been prosperous
in Montana beyond anything ever ex-
perienced in its past. 1t Justly boasts the
second if not very first mining camp in
world its output of gold, silver and cop
per has been marvellous; its unequalled
pastures have been TO its people bonanza
On top of the ground, and one too, which
crew while they slept. From being away
off on the frontier, it has suddenly been
placed within only four days travel from
either ocean it can raise nearly all the
necessaries of life sufficient for its people !;
il possesses the very finest ranges in the
world, and of an extent which Is almost
immeasureable hat its mines are its chief
est source of wealth. They are something
tremendous, and the last few weeks have
established that they grow rich as they 20
down. The Territory is rapidly swelling
in population, and justice would give to
Montana Statehood even now. That is
what should be done, that her mineral in
terests might have better protection in
Congress. The Territory has all needed
elements of permanancy; its pastures
would support and make rich its people
without its mines its mines would support
and make rich its people without its pas
lures as it is, it will be mighty purchaser
of the goods Of other States and Territories,
and its payments Will always he in gold
1t is peopled by a strong and brave race
the habits of the people, coupled with the
climate, make conditions which, in all
countries where they abound, result in an
intense love of home and country, and in
the strength and courage TO be a eountry's
perfect defense. No land on earth has
brighter prospects before it than Montana;
no people are more sure to guard with
schools their children; the whole future
of the Territory stretches out in thought
strangely favored land. 1t is Territory
where the boys do chores before they 20
to school, and have to work fast lest their
ears and fingers get nipped with the frost.
That is the kind of country that boys ex-
pand into great men in; that is the kind
of country where the home fire is bright
through the long winter evenings. In such
homes girls mature until, when the sacred
mantle of wifehood is drawn around them
and they step into homes of their own,
they 90 as real queens, and are worthy TO
wear the title. Montana is mighty
land

BERLIN, January 1.-The Prussian
Land Tag opened to-day with the custom
airy formalities. The speech of Emperor
William as King of Prussia was an import
ant feature of the opening ceremonies.
The speech was read by an officer whic h
stated that the financial condition of Prus-
sia was in satisfactory condition. The
surplus revenues over the expenditures for
the year 1s.i have been devoted toward
the payment of the public railway debt
Ii was estimated that the suplus for the
year 1855 will not be sufficient to meet
the increased contribution.

The Crow Lease.
Billings Post !


1t seems that the Colorado syndicate are
still hard at work TO secure the prize they
have been laboring for for over year We
are credibly informed that within the past
ten days council Of Indians was called at
the instance of the syndicate and held at
the new agency, at which the Indians were
told that the syndicate would pay $4,000
instead of $4,000 annual rental, provided
the lease was ratified. This bid, to gain
the consent and approval of the disaffected
Indians, was in all likelihood made in pur-
suance of a suggestion to that effect from
Washington. At this council Interpreter
Preyo, or Bravo, as he is more generally
called, the official interpreter, took an ac
tive part in assisting the syndicate to con-
ciliate the Indians.

Alarming Condition OF Affairs.

PANAMA, January 5.-The most alarm
ing condition of affairs prevails through

imminent. A civil war is under way in
Cundinamerca, Boyaca, Santander and

out in the important State of Caueu. Here
in Panama more trouble is likely to occur
but there will be little bloodshed. Heavy

and professions OF life which his youthful
aspirations may seek, let not Montana with
hold hearty support to such an institl-
ton as soon as she is permitted to take her
proud place in the rank of statehood TO
which she is Justly entitled. Perhaps some
one will say that even if State, Montana
would not be prepared to sustain such an
institution; that there are not enough stud
ents prepared 10 attend an institution of
higher education. 1t may be said that in
this case as in many Others, supply creates
a demand. Many students leave Montana

daily adding substantial evidence of skill
and honest toll
God speed the day we earnestly say,
when in our midst shall rise the massive
walls OF this temple of learning. Let Labor
and Learning dwell hand in hand within

Another Dynamite Explosion.

LONDON, January 1.-THE town hall of
Warminster, in Wiltshire, was partially
wrecked by an explosion of dynamite last
night Several houses in the neighbor-
hood were badly shaken. Many windows
were shattered and several persons were
thrown to the ground by the violence of
the shock. The report of the explosion
was heard two miles away. There was
great excitement until it was ascertained
that no one had been seriously injured.
Pieces of tin tubing, which had apparently
contained fuse, were found near the scene
of the explosion. Two suspicious looking
strangers were noticed lettering near the
town hall during the afternoon and the
police are searching for them, but thus far
there has been no arrests.

Sheep in Northern Montana.
River Press

John Hay, one of the largest wool grow
ers in this vicinity, arrived today from his
ranch near the Geyser station. He reports
the sheep in good condition, and no losses
in excess of other years so far as he has
been able to learn.
Several of the prominent sheep owners
of this section have been in town recently
and report no unusual losses among sheep
this winter. In fact, the shepherd and
sheep were well prepared, the former by
having hay enough on haEd to tide over
an unusually severe winter, and the latter,
owing to the splendid fall and early win
ter, being in good condition. All reports
as to losses among the fiocks are without
foundation in fact

that nationality makes great difference

drinks lager and smokes a pipe. The
Irish, English or American tramp prefers a
short life and merry one. He drinks
