PROF. WILLIAMS says In regard to
the projected paper-rail works at st.
Petersburg. that the rails can be made
at one.third the cost Of steel rails. and
that they are very durable; the paper
being condensed ny great pressure.
Being lighter than metal they can be
carried and laid at far less cost. They
are TO be made in greater lengths than
ordinary rails, and the oscillation and
consequent wear and tear OF rolling
stock will be proportionately dimin-
ished. The success or failure of the
project is q question of durability.

The Indian Troubles.

The Billings Gazette of Friday has
the following to say concerning the
raiding Piegans:
Mr.. Dezeng and friend came in
from the Musselshell yesterday. On
the way in they called at ShannOn's 3
ranch to deliver a message, but found
the house deserted, and were about to
leave when Mrs. shannon came rum
ming down from the hills waving her
shawl as signal for them to stop.
She seemed very much frightened,
and informed them that q party of
twelve Indians with a lot of horses,
had passed the house q short time
before, and leaving the road turned
into cove, and disappeared toward
the rimrock. She didn't believe they
could get over the rimrock there, anu
supposed they meant to cache the
horses there, and come back to the
house. She accordingly fled with the
children to the hills bringing a VIM
chester for defense, in case of an ut.
tack. Mr.. Dezeng and his friend de-
cided to stay until the return of Mr.
Shannon, who was away, and in the
the former followed the
trail OF the Indians into the cove. He
found that they had managed to climb
over the rimrock. leading their horses,
the tracks of their moccasins
being plainly visible; and on reaching
the plateau above, had struck out for
the north. This is the second bad
fright the red devils have given Mrs.
Shannon of late. The settlers very
complain of the neglect of
the military to guard the crossings of
the Yellowstone and check these raid
ers as far as possible, until they can be
stopped by the extinction of the reser-
vations. 1t is only right that the set
tiers on government lands should be
protected by the governm mt.

The Protestant Episcopal church of
the United States has passed an ordi-
nance forbidding its ministers to cele-
brate the marriage rites in cases where
one or both Of the parties have been
divorced for any other cause than
adultery, or where either of the parties
was defendant in previous success
full divorce suit on that ground. Some
other churches have practically adopt
ed similar regulations. Is not this, in
effec, rebellion against the country
which grant divorces for many other
causes? We commend Milton's cele-
brated treatise on divorce to the at
tention Of the clergy. It is possible
that the present age does not hold all
the intelligence and all that men ever
possessed. And 1t is just barely possi-
BILE that ministers of the gospel are not
infallible.

1t is to refuse to sell cotton seed to the

organization of this gigantic move.
