TooMBs AND THE PHILANTHRoPIsT.-Afte
Toombs' famous Boston speech phllanthropls1
came mn to him as he stood in the centre OF D
group at his hotel and said:
"Sir, have come to ask you question, ana
vou impress me as man who will tell the trutn'
even if it bears against him."
at will try" said Mr. Toombs, with great meek
ness. az, :;
II am told sir" said the man, that down IN
Georgia YOU actually work poor negroes to the
blow. instead of mules or horses Is that true,
sir?"
Mr.. Toombs looked like man hit hard but
asked: ~
"Do you know the cost of negro man, sir
ooh, yes" was the reply. From $1,000 up to
81 800 for human flesh, sir, Mans horrid TRADE
Said Mr.. uoombs: will 5000 do ior an aver
age?'
YES, sir" said the man; Il think we may say
that"
"Do YOU know the COST of common mule or
horsee' said Mr.. Toembs
"Yes, sir; the average OF unlmprovea STOCK
may be 500. You neglect your brutes, sir"
"Grauted" said Mr. Toombs Now how many
negro man do you think it takes 10 pull Two
horse pillow in clay soil like ours?'
Il have not thought of that. sir: but-ahcm-
We will say leu,
"Then,' said afr. Tcomb5, in that tender, pa
thetic tone which would have made him perfect as
a revicalist exLor.cr "then we have mule team
at 5000. u ne .ro team that cost 9,O00 and what
do YOU think OF the economy OF it y0urself?
The talk ended, and only one man failed to

We are satisfied that ii the commissioners
of Yellowstone county will show a dispo-
siion to meet the Mcagher county COM
missioners half way, bridge will span the
Musselshell at Reeds Crossing by the mid
die of summer. The loss suffered by mail
contractors, freighters. and cattle and sheep
men in being compelled to await the sub
siding of freshets before crossing could be
effected, would have paid for the bridge
several times over. All are taxpayers in
earnest and justitiable appeals should not
longer be ignored. We can see no good
reason why the Billings people hesitate Il
give the Junctionites a show.
