Marriage in Great Brjtain.

Britain seems to have arrived at point
Of her civilization similar to that reached
years ago by France, when the increase
of native population begins diminishing.
That is shown by the rapid decrease Of
the number of marriages. In 1853 there
were 17.9 marriages to every 1000 in
habitants; in 1885 there We're only 14.4,
and in 1886 only IA. 1 to ,000.-Foreign

Men Servants the Rage.

Men servants are now the rage among
rich people. Families that formerly en-
ployed girls are discarding them now in
favor of neat, handy, good looking men.
These are kept in swallowtails all the
time, and they answer the door, wait on
table, clean ahe knives and forks, brush
boots and clothes and go out with the
carriage as footmen. The result of this
has been that there are twice the num-
Der of women out of employment here
now than ever before. The intelligence
offices are overcrowded with them

The West Gallatin Ditch.

Ever since the CHRONICLE has been in
existence it has occasionally alluded to
the West Gallatin Ditch project which
was inaugurated some years ago and
work commenced. The need of such a
ditch has been generally conceded and
all that has been required is men OF
means who could see that a profit was
assured them, to make the investment.
During the past summer ]. D. Mcintyre,
Albert kleinsehmidt and a Mr.. Granger,
Of Helena. have interested themselves
in the matter and have made several
propositions to the old COMPANY and to
the farmers who will be benefited by the
canal and after doing the necessary sur
veying we are now able to say authentic.
ally that the work will be commenced
within the next ten days and finished
by the first Of next July. During the
past few days Mr.. Mcintyre has been in
city completing arrangements with those
who wish 10 take contracts and has let
several contracts for grading, one to W.
II. Tracy which takes over seven miles
ofthe ditch and one to Mr. j. II. Nixon
which covers oyer two miles. Contracts
for a lesser amount have been let and
before the next CHRONICLE is issued we
expect to see dirt flying on this big canal,
fraught with so much that is beneficial
to tho Re who depend upon irrigation for
a successful crop. Just what arrange.
ments the farmers have made with the
company We are at this time unable to
say, but we presume they are satisfactory
all around, as no company would wish
to make rates that would prohibit farm
ers from taking water from them or do
anything that would be "antagonistic to
the people whom they depended upon
for business. The completion of this
ditch will be of great advantage to Boze.
man, as those who have lived here any
length of time can readily see. The
work on this ditch, will keep a large
number of men employed up till winter
and together with the water-works which
will also be built will make lively times

The N. P. Bonds.

New York. Aug, 2s.-[special to the
Independent.]-The total amount of
bonds issued by the Northern Pacific is
not 81 600 900 or $5,OOO,O 600 or ANYTHING
like that. The syndicate takes and dis
poses of to Mr.. Willard, the remainder of
the third mortgage bonds in the treasury,
which at the close of the last fscial year
was IS, 4O7 900. Out of these, however,
had to be reserved a sufficient sum to
take up 81, liza 500 dividend certificates,
which are demanded obligations and the
reserve would have to be a little more
than this, because the second mortgage
bonds we're not yet selling at par. This
s. 900, 900 of branch bonds taken at the
same time are not a direct obligation Of
the Northern Pacific, and their interest
will be met out of the traffic guaranteed
to the roads which are to be built out Of
The proceeds.
