The discussion OF "Ths Northern
Frontier" involved not only geogrsphi.
cal features but the political and COM
mercial relations between the Domin-
ion and the United States. and Eng
land and the United States. Lieut..
Woodruff has had the advantage Of
several years experience in Mon

Presidents' Horses.

Zach Taylor rode at Washington the
horse he had used in the Mexican war.
Its name was "Old Whitley" and it fol-
lowed the funeral car Of the dead presi-
dent 70 his grave. Franklin Pierce used
to gallop about the streets Of Washing
ton M midnight on blind horse during
his presidency. He rode twice daily
and his coachman, who still lives here,
tells me that he kept eight horses in the
White House stables. This coachman
saws Buchanan had ore set Of harness
which cost $500. Its buckles were heav-
ily plated with silver, and il had fifty-six
solid silver "Bs" in different places
upon it, Buchanan, however, never rode
on horseback, but his niece, Harriet Lane,
was accustomed 10 gallop with the other
society girls Of that day over the hills
about Washington.-Chicago Times.

tsry OF the interior has requested that
the attorney general oriminally prose-
cute certain parties 10 Montana upon
charges OF timber trespassing made by
NJ. J. Haley, special agent Of the gen
eral land office. In his report Haley
says:
Between the middle Of May and the
middle of August, 1857, VIM. Thomp-
son, OF Butte, and w. B. Russell, w.
]. Potter, A. Tatre and Louis True
dell, Of Missoula, cut aud removed
from unsurveyed non.mineral public
lands in Missouls county about $50, 900
feet, board, measure, Of timber, mostly
pine. The timber was cut into saw
logs, hauled TO the saw mill Of the
tres passers located on the lands cut
from, and there manufactured into
lu mber. At date Of investigation the
lumber wss disposed Of rs follows:
Two thousand feet had been shipped
out TO the vicinity Of Helena TO be
used in the construction Of the Mon.
tsns Northern railway; 100000 feet
had been shipped to Butte; the resi-
due. $50, 900 feet, was found al the saw
mill. The manufactured value Of the
lumber lie placed at $40 per thousand.
The lumber alleged TO have been sold
for use in constructing the Montana
Northern railroad was taken li0 miles

line Of railroad this far distant could
hardly be considered, under the most
liberal construction, ss.adjacent to the

The land commissioner states that
he knows of the existence Of no such
road in Montana. The secretary closes
with the suggestion that If by enter

Truedell and Tstre they can be OBJ
tanned as witnesses against Thompson,
who is worth $50, 900, II had better be
done.

increases from morning till evening, de-
creasing again during the night. After

followed by a slight decrease; the vital

could not learn the names of the drowned

doing great damage to fencing. Probably
