NOBLE MONTANA.

With prophetic vision General Thomas
Francis Meagher referred in 1866 to the
time when Montana would take her place
among the states of this glorious union.
In Fourth Of July address at Helena in
that year, he used these words, which are
now so appropriate:
Sand now, last Of all, Montana, the
youngest, and, to us, the dearest of them
all, rises from the waters of the Missouri,
beautiful and beaming as one of the
vase-bearing Naidesf from the fountain,
and with the effulgence of youth and in
tellect, as we'll as with the effulgence of
her magnificent dowry, arraying her in a
raiment Of sun-beams, as it were, prepares
to take her place and complete the grand
circle of the American sisterhood Of Free
dom.
In the same address, General Meagher
expressed these sentiments which might
fifty be engraved on monument to Ion
or all who have voted for the admission
Of Montana-"G Glorious it is, indeed, to
defend an old commonwealth, and with
virtue, industry, genius, active love and
death-defying heroism, so prolong its
life and power, that it shall wear upon its
reverend head an ancient crown. Yet
more glorious does mankind maintain
and heaven gratefully acknowledge it to
be, out of the wilderness and waste OF
nature to call forth a civilization which
rich and mastery in itself virtuous and
free, shall contribute new beneficence
and glory and renown."

The collapse of the History building
in Chicago should serve as a warning to
those who persist in raising such enor-
nous structures. It would be much bet
ter to build houses of less elevation, but
the greed Of property owners for large
returns impels them to attempt structures
Of Babylonlan proportions.

MIR. HUNT can hardly expect his state
hood resolution to pass the council, ex-
cert by strict party vote. The council
might very properly substitute for it the
statehood portion of the Collins resolu-
ton, which was so promptly adopted by
the councilmen. Mr.. Hunt should try to
rise above partisanship and not atfront
the democratic congressman, to WHOM we
will primarily owe admission.

lT is wise provision of the omnibus
bill that the people of Montana will re-
apopt the constitution of 1884 at the
same time as they elect delegates to the
convention which is to amend it. Cas-
cade county may be assigned six dele
gates. In that case, each party should
nominate three delegates. This would
keep the convention out of party politics
and ensure united support for its revision,

COIN FOUND.
Plumbers Repair Sewer and Find Lot
of Silver Dollars,

Plumbers Repair Sewer and Find Lot
of Silver Dollars,
For two or three days past the branch
sewer which drains several properties in
the vicinity Of this Office. has been stopped
up, and as result water has found its
way into the cellars in the vicinity. At
first it was surmised the water pipes had
bursted, and the services Of plumber
we're engaged Friday, to look after posi-
BILE leaks, bat nothing could be discovered.
Yesterday the water was traced to the
sewer, and force of men we're put to work
locating the trouble. The fault was final
Iy found, in Alley 8, about the line OF the
property abutting On the alley and
the sewer was opened. In it was
found good deal of miscellaneous rub
Dish, several beer bottles, and beer mugs,
and about a dOzsn and a half dollar coins.
Several of these were distributed about
among the people in the vicinity. They
were generally voted to have very fair
ring" but locked good deal like they
were bogus, and were generally set down
as such. Late last evening, it was stated
the coins were genuine, and if this be the
case, they probably got into the sewer
through some intoxicated individual pull
ing out the contents of his pocket.
There were o number of wild rumora
afloat over the discovery of the coins, one
being that they had been manufactured in
nearby building, but there is no foun-
dation for these yarns.

CHURCH TAXATION.
S. II. Discusses the Constitution Of the
State of Washington

S. II. Discusses the Constitution of the
State of Washington.
To the Editor Of The Register:
DEAR SIR:-It is a we'll known fact that
every reform has almost invariably been
brought about by continual agitation OF
the questions uppermost for the better
ment of human society, AID having once
conceded this proposition, it is quite as
evident that truth should not be caught
mapping while error, the enemy OF
human welfare, runs rampant through
the land. The question under
consideration is embodied in an article in
the Intelliqencer of July &c entitled, "a
Suggestion. Now, Mr. Editor, the ques-
ton here is on the unfavorable comments
made by the said paper on the Constitu-
tional Convention of Washington Terri
tory for advising the taxation Of church
property. 1t ia fact, well authenticated,
that 500, 600, GEO are taken from the peck
cts of the people of the United States
annually for taxes, which the property
holders of every creed and Of no creed are
compelled TO pay uDjustly, because said
churches and other institutions of secta-
rian character are allowed TO 20 tax free,
while the poor mans bowel is taxed 10
death, and if it is not liquidated it is for
feited to the State. The great Trinity
Church, of New York. is holding property
to the amount of over thirty millions
of dollars tax free. May it not
be said too, that much of that
wealth of this and other churches
has been pilfered through I'M
scrupulous legislatures from the
State, while still another portion has been
begged from Jew aud Gentle. from the
rum seller as well as fiom the protested
Saint? Then they hold fairs and festivals
which bring in the shekels, and which
under any other conditions outside of sects,
we would BIS called an infringement Of the
laws, and held as gambling. All hail then
to the new State OF Washington with lis
model constitution and its free people.

How to Maze Magnets.

There are two general classes of magnets
electro magnet, and parmenent magnets.
The electromagnetic is active only when a
current of electricity is passing around 1T
the permanent magnet, as its name indi-
Gates, retains its magnetism after the
msgnetizing agent is removed. Electro
magnets are always made of soft iron, while
permanent ones are made of steel. An
electro magnet can easily be constructed as
follow:
Procure from blacksmith or from any
source all iron horseshoe. Commenc
ing Just above the heelcork on one eide
wind closely three or five layers Of two
inches length of No. % insulated cop
per wire Without cutting the wire, pro
coed spirslIy alosg the toe of the snoe, anC
then wind the same number Of similar lay
ers on the other end.
All the windings must be in the same
direction in reference to the iron. II now
the ends of the wires be connected with ar
electric battery, quite large pieces of soft
irop, for instance, large nails or spikee
will be Neld up by the two heelcorks, which
act as pole pieces.
As soon as the battery is disconnected
the spike will fall. THE, however, would
not be the case if the horseshoe was made
of steel, for it would then, because of thu
passage of the electric current, have be
come a permanent magnet. To pass al
electric current around a piece of steel il
indeed the easiest Way OF making perman
ent magnet.
To try it, wind several layers Of the
same wire used on the horseshoe around s
lead pencil. Then carefully remove the
lead pencil, and insert in the hollow COZ!
left common dsrning-needle, the head Of
which has been broke of, leaving about an
inch of length.
Pass the current from the battery
through the coil fer minute, disconnect
and remove the needle, and it will be found
to be mAgnetized. If it be drawn through
iron filings or small tacks, they will adher
to it.

A lady who lives in the suburbs was

was going to the corner of Ninth and st.

the motor line for her home. She has a
petite and rather youthful figure, but is
about fifty years of age and has been
widow for decade a dspper young, man
who was also "masher," saw her and
approaching asked if he might not help
her home with her basket. Now this wild
ow hates dapper young men and especially
MASTERS; therefore she told the Young man
be might see her home and carry her bas-
ket. He thought he had made an immense
nit. and he also thought in the dim light
thAt the widow was a beautiful young
lady. The widow transferred her basket
to the dapper young mans arm and re-
linquished her idea of riding home IN the
horse cars. in order that she might have
large bushel basketful of fun, she started
with her escort for a walk of about 10 life
size, full-lergth squares. The basket got
frightfully heavy in about five blocks; IN
ten it waa . huge white elephant, and by
the time the two reached the lady's resi-
dence it was one of the pyIa nids OF Egypt,
the dapper young man was badly blown
and altogether broken up. The widow
rang the bell at her door and grown
young lady came, asking: why, ma,
what did you ring the bell fol? The door
was not locked" The dapper young man

Won't you come IN, sir? My husband
would be very glad TO see you" be was
paralized. But recovered quickly and
went away from there, and that widow
has been having convulsive fits of laughter
ever since, in which she is ably seconded
by her daughter and the remainder OF the
family. The masher has been taking iron
and quinine ever since TO build up his
strength.

KNIGHTS Template.

Wheeling Commandery No. held its
regular conclave on Monday evening, and
although the asylum was many degrees
mora than hot, aud the iced refreshments
served on the occasion had no apparent
effect on the temperature or those present,
vet, notwithstanding, there was large
attendance of Sir Knights, among whom
we're Sr Witford, of Pittsburg Comman-
derry, and Sir King, of Sistersville, mem
Der of Cyrene CommaDdery No. Z, of this
city. AS there were three postulstes in
waiting for the orders, the Commandery
conferred on the three candidates the Or
ders of the Red Cross, K. T. and Malta,
and the work as done by the officers was
excellent. Sir john W. Morris, the EN-
inept Commander, and SIR James McCshon
as High Priest and Prelate, excelled all
their previous efforts on this occasion, for
they entered more fully and heartily into
the work, aud no doubt produced impress
sions on the candidates which would con-
tinue with them through life and prepare
them IN death to meet risen Redeemer.
Wheeling Commandery will continue to
meet during the warm weather and confer
the order upon those who desire 10 receive
them, more especially upon those desirous
of attending the tri.annual at Washington
City next October.

VIRTUES OF SOFT COAL SMOKE.


The dirty, black soft-coal smoke has its
advantages and virtues after all, it seems.
we ara told by writer in the american
MqeRiaia that it possesses certain bene6-
cial sanitary effects. For example, the
sulphur in the coal, be it hard or soft coal,
burns 10 sulphurous acid gas, we'll
known disinfsctant. Ia addition to dis
injecting by destroying germs, this gas
has the power of disinfecting the color of
curtains and other fabrics; it disinfects
the tints of fine paintings, and generally
makes its properties apparent by changing
the appearance of everything with which
il comes in contact-a fact which is known
Of all housekeepers in the soft coal region,
who would cheerfully dispense with all its
virtues to be rid of this characteristic.
This smoke combined with moisture forms
sulphuric acid and acts as a solvent Of
iron bridges, which are not we'll painted.
A further product of bituminous coal is
creosote and its allied products. Oae of
these, carbOlic acid, has great powers OF
disinfection, and we are further told that
an atmosphere thickly charged with soft
coal smoke may be freer from germs Of
disease than an otherwise purer air.
This may all be gospel truth, but we
prefer the clean hands aud the clean boiled
shirt, that 20 with the otherwise purer air,
and will take the risk of rubbing up
against few more wandering germs,

A MONSTER.


The true story Of the life, SO FAR as
known, of Judge ]. Oakley Crawford, " or
"AIsior Horace Oakley Griffin" or "Ar-
liueton Buckingham Wadsworth," Or
General A. Ward" or "Bently Worth
iveton, " has never been surpassed in the
most sxtrayagant work Of fiction.
This brilliant scoundrel deserves to rank
as the criminal wonder Of the age. Were
the mssgre facts Of his life that have come
TO the surface to be woven into work Of
fiction who would not declare the story
prepostsrous and overdrawn? Here we
have a man of noble aud ha isome pes
enca. Of a magnetic and brilliant personal
ity. gifted with talents far beyond most
men. which enable him 10 bound to the top
of ths ladder and be a leader in any cOua-
munity he visits, which would make him
immensely wealthy and an hOnored leader
among men if properly applied; ye: through
probably the malformatiOn Of his brain, the
utter absence of the moral principle, these
gifts are prOstituted to the basest criminal
uses-impOsture, theft and bigamy.
This human Lucifer is probably uupsr-
allelled in criminal history. He seems to
always be applying his genius with energy
and the greatest success, only to decamp
with a fsw thousands of dollars, when, II
the man had any moral principle, he nigh
have honestly gained 4 hundred fold more.
Wonderfully attractive to women, al
most everywhere he went he married some
beautiful and wealthy woman, only 70 de-
ser. her after a brief period, taking her
money With him. Remarkably attractive
to mee, he won the respect and confidence
Of the highest, only TO forge and steal and
make OF to new fields with his plunder.
In the West We hear Of him as prOmi-
nent and successful lawyer and brilliant
politician, stamping the country for HAIR
RIsoN. with whom he was on intimate
terms, as he wac with other leading men of
the country. Nobody cOuld withstand his
brilliaDcy, grace and magnetism and no.
body, it seems, could see through him.
It is altogether probable that the half
ofthis mans criminal career is not known.
We know nothing of him prior TO the
time he visited and Victimized Charles
ton, and can follow his career only
through brief glimpses from that till the
present time, when we ind him ct the
head Of the International Magazine ofCiris-
tian Science, in New York, and in posses-
zion of the wife of the former editor, who
lef. her husband to take up with this
wonderful criminal, as her "soul's mate "
Il is astounding that one map, guilty Of
so many crimes has so long escaped ias-
tce But Ietribution is bound to come
sooner or later, and when the Law gets its
hands on this arch. criminal his career is
enced.

life, why he is drawn on to commit crime

About 10 miles beyond ST. Thomas the
locomotive whistlei an alarm, slackened a
BIT, and then put on full steam and ne
felt bump clear hack in the last coach.
As SOON as the train could be checked and
backed up to the highway crossing We all
piled out to ascertain the trouble. A
woman about forty years old, hat off and
hair flying, Yves picking some parcels out
of The grass sld a man of about
the same age sat en- the ground
staring about him IN wonder. In
mis- left hand he held pipe and in his
right paper of tobacco. He had been
crossing the road with his team. Oae
horse lay dead in the ditch aud the other
was limping off down the road, while the
wsgon was smashed to kindling5. The
woman gathered up five or six parcels and
started off after tue limping horse, never
speaking 8 VOID, and by and by the has
hand slowly filed his pipe, hunted around
for a match and lighted it, and as he got
to his feet 10 follow the wife the conductor
queried:
"D dn't you see the train cOming?'
"Of course, " was the quiet reply.
"Then Why didn't you hold up?'
Didn't you see me coming? Of course
yOu did Then why in thu2der didn'tyou

And he logged off down the road with
