The long agitated subject of navigating
the upper Missouri, is about TO material
lie, SO we are reliably informed. 1t is the
intention of the parties having the enter
prise in hand to run one boat between this
place and the Half Breed rapids, and an
other boat will navigate the river from
above these rapids to Townsend. The
proprietors will depend greatly upon the
passenger traffic the coming season for
the success of their enterprise. As a
large number of people will visit Great
Falls the coming season. the river route
will be preferred to the stage, and the en-
terprfse will pay from the start.

The "oldest inhabitant" has popped up
again. He says that in the history OF
Montana from away back no such tine
weather has been experienced IS that OF
the past winter. He predicted that this

Thermometer for any winter since--well,
since the bison galloped over the spot
where the Oldest town in the territory
now stands.

Two more grand and useful men
have recently taken their places with
the dead. Gen. W. S. Hancock and
Ex-Governor Horatio seymore, both

useful public men. Not only were
they models for their honor and abili-
ty in discharging their respective du-
ties in public affairs, but likewise they
presented to US lives worthy the imi-
tation of all in both public and pri-
vate. They had their convictions oil
duty and right and aimed far from
the trickeries OF the present age
Honor to them for these qualifications
and such lives.

this by all classes is well known. One
thing should be remembered however,
by tho producer, and that is, that the
quality of wheat heretofore cultivated,
will not do; 1t will neither establish a
demand for ths product at home Or in the
the markets Of the East, to which it VIII
eventually go when once we have rail
communications with the outside world.
A good quality of wheat must be produc-
ed If the desired effect is reached, and
the sooner the better for all concerned.
The hard wheat SO successfully grown in
other section, can be grown here equally
as well. Practical experiments have pro
. this. Such being the case it is a mere
mere waste of time to cultivate the poor,
miserable soft wheat, which must prove
equally as unsatisfactory to the producer
90 to the manufacturer and consumer.
Let a good quality of wheat be produced,

none ~.

A TALE OF A CARAVAN.
BY ROBERT BUCHANAN.

AS he spoke, MONK uttered savage
oath and rushed toward the road; but
. Marshall was after him in moment,
and sprung upon him. There was a
quick struggle. Suddenly Monk drew
knife, opened it, and brandiShed it in
the air; so that it would have gone i'll
with his aSSailant if the herCulean Tim,
coming to the rescue, had not piniOned
him from behind. In another moment
the knife was lying on the grass, and
Monk was neatly handCuffed by the de-
tective.
Now, governor. you'd better take it
quietly" said Marshall, while Monk
struggled, and CRASHED his teeth in i'm
potent rage. "YOu're a smart one, you
are. but the games up at last"
Monk recovered himself, and laughed
fieTcely.
Let me go! OF what do you accuse
me? 1t was murder just now, but since
the murdered person is alive (d-n

CONCLUSION.

My tale is told. The adventure of the
caravan has ended. Little more re-
mains to be said.
Monk, of MOmkShurst, was not brought
to trial for his iniquities. but he was
sorely enough punished by the loss of
his ill-gotten estates. Before the claim
of the founding was fully proved, he
left England, never TO return. Whether
he is alive or dead | cannot tell.
William Jones, too, escaped legal
punishment. A SevCrer retribution
came upon him in the seizure and dis
persal of the boards in the great cave.
So sorely did he take his loss to heart
that he crept TO his bed and had an at
tack of brain fever. When he reappear-
ed on the scene of his old plunderings
his intellect was weakened, and he
showed curious evidences of imbecility.
But the ruling passion remained strong
within him. saw him only last sum-
mer. rambling on the sea-shOre, talking
incoherently to himself, and watching
the sea in search of wreckage as of old.
And Matt?
Well, her title to MOnkshurst and the
property was fully proved. For a long
time she did not realize her good for
tune, but gradually the pleasant truth
dawned upon her in sunrise of nice
dresses, jewelry, and plenty of money.
Chancery stepped in like severe foster
parent. and sent her to school. There
she remained for several years; but
Charles Brinkley, who had first taken
in hand the vindicatiOn of her claims,
and who never ceased to be interested
in her. saw her from time to time. and

ACQUISITION Concerning Sleep,

1t is generally believed that a negro
requires little sleep. In state Of free
dom the negro takes less sleep than the
white man. Perhaps, in olden times.
the master held to this theory because
it was a convenient idea, and perhaps
heredity has made the theory a fact.
Colored thinkers should investigate the
matter, and determine whether or not it
would be wise to advocate longer hours
in bed for the young and the succeeding
generations OF their race. In fact, 1t
would do no mankind no harm to learn
more about sleep than is known. The
loss of nightly rest is seriously affecting
American nerves. The Current.
