1t is interesting to note the origin OF the
name Rocky mountains" So lnsepara-
bly, connected with this great work of ma
ture is the term that we could almost be-
lieye that the Great Creator christened it
sometime in the obscure ages which have
rolled away It seems that before starting
upon their two years journey the explor-
ers had been informed by the Indians that
that the "Shining mountains were full OF
gold. Shining had been the name of
the mountains, applied because of the fact
that for huudreds OF miles the lofty peaks
reflected from their snoW-clad SUBMITS,
the golden light. When they reached the
mountains they were piqued to find that
instead OF gold, there was but barren rock
and snow, which had cast across their
dreary path, for many weary months, the
delusion that untold wealth lay in store for
them. They sought gold and found bar
ren. cherries rocks confronting them.
Their disappointment is immorgalized in
the name Rocky mountains which they
substituted for the former, more beautiful
bat less appropriate appellation. To their
lasting sorTow they found that All is not
gold that gltters." How little these dis
appointed adventurers, as they sadly turned
their faces toward the rising sun, dreamed
Of the vast treasures which were hidden in
the dark chambers Of this great store-house
OF nature, the superficial manifestations Of
which We're SO unpromising. Had theymade
the discovery of precious metals in the
Rockies at that time, the whole history of
this western country would have been
changed. France would doubtless have
secured so firm a hold upon the vast Ter
ritory of Louisiana that to have purchased
it from her except at the price of blood,
would have been impossible. Hordes of
French and Spanish fortune-seekers would
have rushed with impetuosity, to gather
the golden harvest. In that event the
United States would too likely, have been
bounded on the west by the Mississippi.
AS it was, in the early part of this century,
with reluctance it is true, yet
without a full knowledge of is resources,
ceded to this government the vast but un-
known region called Louisiana, for aboflt
$11,0o0,00o. Thus, we believe, through
the fortunate diversion of these French ex-
plorers. from the hidden treasures, their
blessings We're reserved for the present
and Immediately preceding generations
Of United States citizens

If we only had "little" cut of this terri
BILE aspiration we are satisfied it would be
more friehtful than even the ink blotches

Prof NJ. distinctly says that the term
"dog-faced' was applied to evident human
remains found in Dakota having certain
peculiarities suggesting such term, which
is doubtless true, as "Interested Reader"
acknowledges. Now, we consider 'dog
faced" as applied to any type or peculiari-
ty of man as degrading and should be
suppressed, and if friend "Interested
Reader" had objected to their use in such
connection and supplied more suitable
terms of his own, well and good; but no, he
must make a mountain out Of mole hill
and have the literal dogs head, hair and
all, mounted on mans shoulders, or moth

goes on to quote "H#sena5led,' and remarks
that THAT is the word at which Messrs
Morrison and Anderson went astray." If
he had only added interested Reader"
also, he would not have been far from the
mark. Onthe whole, "Interested Readers"
rambling discourse is so Illogical and
vague that perhaps we may forgive him
for scarcely knowing what he is disputing
about.
Now, we will add little for general
editication and not to prove anything.
All know that it is the commonest of ev-
ery-day occurrences t. use terms in regard
to objects, which interpreted literally,
would be most absuld. Ordinarily, such
terms are applied to objects or animals in
ferior to man, and hence wound nobody's
vanity, as this term .dogfaeed" seems to
have done, at least IN one instance. In
conclusion, we hone we shall not be sat
down on too lfatss and crushed to the III
fnitesimal atom for making these few re-
marks. We will try to bear up under any
circumstances. BILBERT De G0IcE.

Terra Gotta Clay.
/ am respectfully,
GEO. W. STEVEN

Specimens Of terra-cotta clay taken from
the deposits of clay near town were sent
to St. Paul to be carefully examined by an
expert. He reports them as fine clay for
making terra-cotta work as he has ever
seen anywhere and adds that it would
make splendid brick if mixed with about
25 per cent of sand. With as fine build
ing stone as there is in the world, plenty
of brick and terra-eotta clay and lime
stone, Great Falls is pretty well fixed fer
building materials.

The Grand Finale.

Like Interested Reader" we have no
ticed with considerable interest and we
may add, amusement, the various articles
relating to "dog-faeed men," in your ex-
cellent paper. And if We may be allowed
to express an opinion in controversy
among such truly @ scientific minds we
should say that a genuine war Of words
was ferceiy raging: what else? "Interest-
ed Reader however, (although he tries
to saddle some Of his incongruous ideas
on Prof NJ. toward the LAST is the one,
that, evidently without consideration, and
from general ignorance of the subject,
takes Prof. lis. words a triffe too literally.

ment. His, is the imagination that has
pictured the "human form divine" be-
low, bearing aloft the shaggy head of a
wild dog with its yellow, Tearing eyes,
pointed ears, drooIing lips and protruding
CANNES. Doubtless even, he has heard, in
fancy, ringing in his ears, the bowling
barks of his progenitors. echoing down
the shadoWy past; and discovered, with
half inverted glance, resemblances in his
own physiognomy that give him doubt
about his ancestors. Racked by such har-
rowing reflections nothing less than an un-
deniable assurance from good authority
and the delivering himself of several col |
umns of well known, spread out facts, (ev-

al history and quite foreign to the real
subject will ease his worried brain of its |
own grotesque fancies. If this is not so, |
why SO much trouble to prove from learn

absurd, and by the language used, would
not lead a person to infer whether the I.

The main argument of I. R. treats very
ably Of the anthropology Of the modern
groups of mankind, just this and nothing
more; but it could be amplified by many
recent ethnographical researches. .Nature
recognizes neither Kingdoms, nor classes,
nor orders, nor genera, nor subgenera; ma
ture recognizes nothing but Individuals .
IAMARCK) The doctrine Of evolution
enunciated by MaupestiIs... Lamarck and
Goethe, and proved by Huxley, Yirchow,
Quartrefages and Hmckel, now underlies Ill
ethnological research. It is an axiom per-
fectly true, that nothing is made in vain"
but taking view OF the atrophied organs
in the human system, we cannot ignore
the close relation he bears to the rest Of
creation. For instance in man the third
eyelid is readily seen as !, minute scale,
serving no possible use whatever. and did
not birds exist, we could scarcely conceive
of its organization. Why is the nodule Of
bone in the arm?-the signitication of
the two small folds which loosely traverse
the knee joint: :-the tubercle bones of the
nostrils, which in the horse shuts off the
great cavity Of the nostrils, protecting
them from foreign bodies, and in the
whale acquiring their greatest develop
ment, sealing their nostrlls against
thousand fathoms of water, as they plunge
into the abyss of the ocean. The thin
lines of cartilage in the abdominal mus
cles Of man, are remnants of the ribs of
the saurians.' These resemblances and
remnants could be multiplied, but would
not be suitable Ior the columns of news

Reader on the differences being so
Slight between genera as he assumes. 1t

subject, than can spare however will

lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.


CHICAGO, August IA little be-
fore 10 O'Clock this morning the de-
PENDANTS in the Anarchist trial marched
into Judge Gary's crowded court
room, headed by August Spies. The
prisoners all looked smiling and com.
paratively unconcerned, and greeted
their lady friends with smiles. They
had scarcely taken their seats when q
young lady with basket on her arm
went along and presented each Of them
with bunch of flowers.
One Of the papers this morning
stated that Mrs. Black, wife of the
leading counsel for the defence, sup
Piled the Anarchists with their morning
bouquets. She was quoted as saying

the poor saints in the criminal court.
The dear martyrs are being sorely
abused by tyrants now, and / fear
something will happen to them but If
anything does happen there are thou
sands ready TO tear their opprsssors to
pieces"
1t was decided that Assistant-States-
Attorney Walker should open the argu-
ment NJ. Zeisler, Of the defence, TO
follow; he to be succeeded by Messrs.
Ingham for the prosecution. Foster and
Black for the defence, ana Grinnel TO
close for the State. This result was not
arrived st without considerable discus
sion.
Mr.. Walker began by saying that in
this republic all men stood equal be-
fore the law, and when the perpetrator
Of any crime stood before the bar for
tiial the Goddess ofJustice was indeed
blind until his guilt had been proven.
No matter whether he was a Socialist
or Anarchist, the very law which be
had desired to throttle now stood
as his protector until his guilt was
shown, and in this case proof had made
the defendants guilty beyond the
shadow Of a doubt.
Mr.. Walker then addressed himself
to the jury, to which be paid the usual
compliments. He next called their at
tention to the several definitions Of the
phrase beyond . reasonable doubt.
