ent of Horses.

Last Monday quite a large ship
ment of Montana bred work horses
was made from Dillon, by rail, to Illi-
nois. -Four car loads of fine looking
horses, belonging to Samuel Ash
baugh, of Beaverhead Valley, and to
Messrs. Poindextsr & Orr, of Black
tail, were shipped. Twenty head be-
longed to Mr. Ashbaugh and twenty
head belonged to Poindexter & Orr
making forty head in all. Mr.. Ash
baugh took the horses to- his farm
near Dundeer, Illinois. at which place
they will be disposed of. This is m
experiment and it will doubtless be
followed by other shipments from
Southern Montana Our most ex-
perienced horse-breedsrs say thasday
is near at hand when Montana raised
horses will be in great demand in the
States, Horses raised on our noun
tain ranges are healthier and better
developed animals than those raised
in the States.-Dillon Tribune

Stretching a Lemon.

A few years ago Nose Solomon
kept a soloon on the ground now &C.
cupied by the Pacific hotel. A story
is told of him during his proprietor
ship which is well worth repeating.
Lemons IN those days were very
scarce, and whisky sour could not
be indulged in too frequently, conse-
quently a single lemon was made to
go long way A stranger called in
one day and wanted whisky and lem
on, which Nose furnished. He short
" came in again and repeated the
visit number OF times during The
day, always leaving the lemon in the
glass. Nose was telling about it at
tsrwards, and said: II tell you what
it is, that fellow kept coming in and
calling for whisky and lemon. / gave
him the same piece Of lemon thirteen
times in succession, aud the last time
the id fool ate it."-River Press.

To die with ones boots on is usual

the richest American merchant, Fl. B.
Clafin; the richest railroad man, W.

can planter, Edmund Richardson,
have all died with their boots on, and
not one of the three died in bed Us q

as high, and think as much, if not
more, of themselves than they ever
did.

was sustained by the President and
War Department, and the army OF the
Potomac embarked for Acgnia Greek
to be sent to General Pope.
As soon as the Confederate General
learned of McClellan's retreat from in
front of Richmond, he made dispo-
sitions to attack Pope and if possible
annihilate him before re enforce by
the army of the Potomac. How near
he came to accomplishing his purpose
the cruel defeat Of Pope mercilessly
attests.
Flushed with success consequent on
the defeat of General Pope, Lee
crossed into Maryland evidently with
the intention of invading Pennsylva-
mia, capture Philadelphia and Balti-
more, and dictate terms to our gov
ernment. There was intense excite.
ment in Washington-the army clam
ored for Mcclellan and in response to
that demand and fearing for the safe
ty of the capital, the Administration
on September 2, ordered him to re-
take commando, The widest enthusi
asm prevailed the army; the soldiers
rent the air with cheers; waving: their
hats and other manifestations OF re-
joicing on that memorable occasion
Mcclellan fearing for the troops at
Harpers Ferry asked the place to'be
evacuated and the 12,O0e' soldiers be
ordered to join his army. He always
believed the place to defend Washing
ington was on tie battle field, defeat
Lee and there would be no trouble at
all about the capital.
General Halleck considered Harp
ers Ferry a place OF great strategic
Importance and therefore q necessity
to hold it. It is singular what fatility
attended counsels adverse to those Of
Mcclellan. The force at Harpers
Ferry was captured by the Confeder-
ates, besides immense supplies and
munitions Of war. 1t looked as If
some of our rulers were bent on do
ing the very thing that Jefferson G..
Davis had he the ordering Of it, wish
ed to have done.
Had Mcclellan those $4,000 at An
tietam, to haul on the Confederates
at critical period, how different the
results might have been. As itswas
the fight at Antietam showed the gen
ius and generalship Of Mcclellan.
The army under his command had
suffered some defeat and long marches,
undergoing many hardships.
The army of Virginia under Lee,
deemed itself 1nvlncible and flushed
with its victory over Pope. It was
more of an open field and fair fight
than the marshes of. the Chickahom~
ing. Lee was repulsea with heavy
loss and driven across the Potomac.
Blaine says: General Mcclellan
fought the battle of Antietam under
extraordinary embarrassment, caused
by the surrender of Harpers Ferry to
the Confederates on the 13, with a
loss to the Union army of more than
$4,000 men,. Gould he have had the
advantage Of this force on the battle
field, under competent commander,
at the critical moment, his victory
over Lee might have been still more
decisive. His success, however, was
Of overwhelming Importance to the
National Government, and put stop
| to an evasion of Pennsylvania which
might have been disastrous in the ex-
treme.- He was blamed severely, per
haps unjustly, for not following Lee
on his retreat and reaping the fruits
of his victory"

There is said to be an unusually
large demand on the agricultural da-
partment for seeds, not only from con-
gressmen but from agriculturists
throughout the country. At present
there ITO persons employed in putting
up and mailing seeds of all kinds, and
the force is not equal to the demands
upon it. The seeds being sent cut
this spring are said to be of an unu-
sually good quality. An opinion pre-
walls to some extent that the depart
ment will supply farmers with all the
seed they want for the purpose Of
raising crops and not infrequently de-
mands are made for several bushels
of seeds by the same party. Those
who receive seeds from the govern
ment would render valuable assistance
to the department if they would fol-
low the governments instructions
accompanying seeds sent, and report
fully the results obtaided IN every
case.

Judge Tourgee, who is now lectur-
ing in Kansas on the subject OF Give
US Rest" thinks the American peo-.
pie, especially those IN the tangent
west, are gradually sapping and
shortening life by over taxation, by
ambition too keen, by the ardent do
sires to grasp millions and fame-to
conquer the world and all there is in
it. He says this is an age of continu-
Gus stampede, Of rush and crush, un
til all ends in wrecked vitality and
sudden death. He thinks circum-
stances and the advance Of the age
make the man. Daniel Webster and
Henry Clay would have been ordinary
men in the light Of today. George
Washington, with the environments
and competition Of this age, would
never have made a record as the faith
er of his country. He is in favor of
practical training and knowledge in
stead of college learning, and is de-
cidedly down on the examining system
OF our public schools.
