THE editor of the Butte Miner in
the course of his journalistic research
has dug up the following, "Three or
four editors Of eastern journals have
made national regulations as mud
slingers, but the honor of breaking
the record is carried off by Mississippi
pi editor. There is very bitter prohi-
bltion fight going on in that state and
one of the champions of temperance
and reform, referring in his journal to
an opponent, uses the following choice
language"
When he disappears benea the vile,
green scum where he belongs, and
his warty and diseased soul goes to its
black home, all hell will shudder with
horror at the intrusion, and the de-
mons will draw aside their reeking
garments lest they he polluted by his
infectious touch. The words 'scoun-
drel, ""liar, "blackguard, coward"
and sour" which have so often been
applied to him, are the most fulsome
flattery.
"If there Is Montana editor who
prides himself upon his mud-slipging
qualities he will feel discouraged after
reading the above"

SOME people think that the era o
canals is over, but study Of facts will
easily dispel this idea. The cost OF
transporting wheat from Chicago to
New York by water is only twosfifths
of the cost of transportation by rail.
The Erie canal does more to keep the
trade of the west to New York City
than all the railroads, and when New
York rubs its eyes open and looks at
the fact that st. Paul and Minneapolis
will soon be as near TRANSATLANTIC COM
munication at Montreal as Chicago is
to New York, it will be shouting
louder for the construction Of the
Hennepin canal than either Iowa or
Illinois.

upon the Cutting affair in Mexico.
But the cutting at home was evidently
more serious to him than the Mexican
affair. For, without expressing any
opinion whatever upon the great ques-
ton of the day, he gracefully fell off
the fence and expired. The citizens
who gathered around appreciated the
work OF his antagonist so much that
he was allowed to escape, and has not
since been heard of.

THE Montana Wool Grower wan,

THE Montana Wool Grower wants
the government to feed Indians on
mutton in place Of beef. It claims
that mutton is cheaper article of
food and that the fleece can be readily
converted into clothing. If the In
dians are, as has been stated, the orig.
inal Jacobs, or lost tribes of Israel,
they should have an Inherited prefer
ence for mutton and sheep clothing.
History may yet repeat itself by estab-
fishing these descendants Of the Bib
lical shepard kings in the business of
their anchestors, but it will take q
long time to make them as truly good
as Abraham. Isaac and Jacob were.

NOTWITHSTANDING the alarming
reports early in the season about the
probable failure of the fruit and vege.
table crops, the results so far do not
justify the predictions. Peaches,
pears, grapes, apples, melons and to-
matoes in all parts Of the country are
to be found in the greatest abundance.
The Maryland, Delaware ana New
Jersey crops of the luscious fruits
named are not only plentiful but of
most excellent quality. The favorite
varieties of the peach are now coming
to the markets and commanding from
one dollar to dollar and quarter per
basket. These are the Early York
and Mountain Rose. Other varieties
are cheaper and plentiful. The water
melon supply from the south is greater
than ever, and the colored people are
in consequence as happy as clans at
high tide. The apple crop is larger
than ever before, the supply being al
most unlimited; but the glut of the
season is. the tomato. The supply is
Unprecedented, and in some localities
the prices are extremely low-lower
than ever before known. A few
grapes have put i'll an appearance, but
1t is hardly time for them yet.
They will be plentiful, however, and
cheap. All in all, the fruit season of
1856 will be unprecedently large.
And we are glad it is so, for there Is
nothing more healthy or beneficial to
the human system than good, ripe
fruit in the proper season.
