What They Should Talk About.

A young man in Oshkosh, who ha;
evidently fallen victim to the wlles Of
some entorplislng leap year girl, writes
in great perp.exity, and evidently with
an exhausted intellect, cor list of sub
jects proper for lovers to talk about
We hope the following categorical an.
swer will meet his needs:
Lovers should talk abou.
The silver moon, the star that shoots,
The tuneful birds with liquid flutes,
The sparkling dew, the ripping stream;
But most Of all, and best-ice cream!

FearfulIy and Wonderfully Made.

One of the stories which has been cur
rent in social circles at Washington
lately is in regard t. the remarkable
makeup of weIl-bnown young society
woman. The mould in which she had
been cast by an unknown fate was UNI
satisfactory alike to herself and parents,
who finally concluded to try the effects
of foreign travel for her. After n long
absence abroad the family returned and,
to the establishment of all who had PIE
viously known her, the daughter was
completely metamorphosed. From a
tall, angular girl, she had not only be
come well rounded but buXom, with a
noticeable broadening Of the shoulders.
After while it leaked out that while in
Paris the girl la been taken to a model
maker, who, III consideration Of q largo
sum, agreed to construct Il wire figure
. of the desired proportions, which was
ingeniously made to open down the
back, and was of such fine, soft material
that its presence would fail to be detect
ed save by the kcenest scrutiny. This
wire cage neccssitates, with evening
dress, band of velvet or collar of sond
description, and as long os worn effect
ualIv precludes the idea of decollct0
gowns on the part of the wearer.

Welcome to the Iron

In 1876 Montana had no railroad nearer
than the Central Pacific at Corinne,
except a part of the main line of the
Utah Northern marrow gauge that was
on its way north from Ogden, as far as
Logan in Utah. The distance from Hell
ena to either of these roads was about
$50 miles. This distance was covered by
a wagon road i'll good O bad condition via
Malad, over the Malad divide. and on
through a sage brush country to Snake
river, and over the Pleasant Valley
mountains to the streams of Red Rock,
Beaverhead, and the Jefferson, termina

ners triumphant. in .sthe victory they
had achieved in conveying precious

At Great Falls the line connects with
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
railway and through it with the entire
railway system of the country. The Mis-
souri, river at this point is from 1000 to
1900 feet wide and has a fall in seven
miles of 367 feet, probably the greatest
available water power on the continent,
and large smelling and other manufactur-

Near Great Falls several varieties Of

that bound them to $40 per ton in gold.
In the days of overland travel and bull
teams the people Of Montana were so
crazy for a railroad, and so anxious to be
relieved Of the isolation that kept them
unwilling prisoners in a strange land,
that they were willing to mortgage the
territory in 1876 for half it was worth as
a subsidy to the Northern Pacific to has
ten its progress from Bismarck westward.
A vote Of the people of the territory
upon a proposition to issue $4,000 0 in
bonds for the purpose, was only defeated
by the small margin Of 245 votes. 70
this vote OF the people may be
attributed ali the good and prosperity that

the most dangerous overland journey in
the northwest. AT that day the skilful
stage driver and successful freighter who
brought their load of passengers and
express, and their long trains of fast
freightsthrough safely deserved certainly
as much praise as the captain who navl-
gated thesGreat Eastern across the Allan
tic. AT that day it is known that one Of
f~reighters was the enterprising and cour-
teous president Of the Montana Central
railroad, colonel Charles A. Broadwater,
who lately received at Helena as the
prime mover and dominant spirit in
bringing another railroad to the capital
Of Montana, an ovation equal to that
which is given when honors are show
cred upon the victorious general, or the
conauering nero. Truly that jnbilation
was u fit expression of the peoples glad
ness as they met en- mssse to celebrate
the completion Of the Montana Central
to that city.
II ADVENT OF THE RAILROAD.
Another welcome, as a joyous express
sion of the peoples gladness was that on
the fourth day Of July, 1888, when they
assembled with banners and music, and a
trade procession at the depot in Helena
to rejoice over the completion Of the
Northern Pacific railroad to that point.
That event will long be remembered as
an event in the chronicles of time as one
of the great occasions when q whole peo-
pie met in joyous celebration OF their
deliverance from i captivity whose prison
walls extended from near the City q the
Saints to the main range Of the Rocky
mountains overlooking Helena, and
