Norfolk's death, at Theodore Winters
ranch, recalls to race-Roers the sensational
history OF Lexington's great son. In the
spring of 1854 Norfolk and Asteroid had
swept the board of thresyear-old events in
the west. and after the st. Louis meeting
was shipped to Paterson, N. j., to meet
John Hunters great colt. Kentucky, and
Others in the first Jersey derby. Ridden
by the then famous colored jockey, "Abe. >
Norfolk won the event in canter, with Zeb
Wards Eagle second, McGrath's Tipperary
third, Kentucky fourth and six others nm
placed. His easy victory brought many
offers for the colt, but Winters outbid ali
and secured Norfolk for $4,000. the odd
dollar representing the decision of wager
that one of Lexington's sons would bring
more than his sire. He was sent to Califor-
MIA by the isthmus route. Soon after he
won two great races from Lodi for heavy
stakes. the last contest at three-mile heats,
showing heat in 6:271155, the best on record.
Considering his limited opportunities Nor
folk was phenomenally successful in the
stud. Marian was his leading card to fame,
through their produce, the Duke, Queen.
King, Empress, Duchess and Emperor of
Norfolk. Ell Rio Rey and Rey del Reyes.
Had Norfolk lived few weeks longer he
would have been 30 year old.

Away back in the history of the county a
set of pigeon holes were bought for filing
away county documents. It was plain
piece of Office furniture, made of pine and
painted in what was then considered to
be the style. After the old court house was
torn down and the different offices were
moved to the new building the pigeon holes,
somewhat battered and worn from use, were
placed in one of the finely furnished and
handsome rooms. The change did not seem
to suit the ancient relic. It had general
air of dilapitation and want of respect abil-
ity that contrasted with its modern sur
roundings. The county officials
readily adapted themselves to the
new order of things and took
to using channels skin pen wipers. But the
old relic became more faded as the days
went by. The clerks neglected it, and no
longer filled its aching void. So one after
noon it was dumped into the cellar as junk.
A few days ago citizen who had known
the ancient in its better days bought it
from the county for SO. When he carried
the old servitor away to give it a coat of
paint the clerks all went out in the corridor
and wished it coed luck.

corder at Lump Gulch near Helena in 1866.

an episode which came near costing Sprapo
his life. man named Barbour becoming
envious of Spragc's position, induced a lot
OF drunken miners to attempt to capture
him and 81 900 which he had taken in on
that day in fees. Spragg was confronted
at the door and window by the armed mob.
He stuffed the gold in his clothes and se,z-
ing two navies dared any or all the crowd
to ia - him. By this time his friends raj.
lied to assistance and the mob was over
powered. harbour He'd to Helena, where
he was followed by Spragg. who caught
sight of him in a house. Barbour ran to
the rear, jumped and ran, Spragg having
fred one shot at him, was never able to meet
him again.

NAL of the grand reception and enter
tainment accorded the pilgrims from Mecca
on the occasion of their tour through the
northwest. The New York guests have
never ceased talking about their visit to
Helena. Jno. W. Thompson, to whom tie
credit is mostly due for the success of the
reception, as chairman of the arrangement
committee, is constantly in receipt of letters
of thanks from individual members OF
Mecca. For entertainers, the Helena
Shriners have no equals in the country.
Their hospitality and cordiality is known
all over the land, and particularly in Mon
tana. They do nothing by halves and
money is an after consideration, when it
comes to doing things in style. The Mecca
temple reception cost exactly 81, 730 for one
day. The entertainment the Helena Shrin-
ers are now giving the one hundred and
fisth-three new members initiated last night
will cost close to $1,000. Helena is verify a

THE FEATHER DAHIEN" OF
ROBBEN ISLAND.

AS is well.knowD, there exists on Robbcn
Island. about two hours run from Cane

lepers. The leprOsy in South Africa is
said to be of Il worse type than that found
ia Norway and other places. The heads
OF the sufferers swell to an size,
aud present a terrible spectacle. After
the disease reaches IL certain stage, how.
ever, the victims suffer but httlc, and
sometimes die off very quickly. Happily,
like the leperS at MolOkai, those at RObben
Island have found 81 good man to devote
his life to them. The Rev. \. II. NJ.
Wilshere, whose portrait from a plo,u.

old, and has been labouling in his present
sphere for about thirteen years. He WAS
formerly a RouS Exhibjtionpr of Pembroke
College, Oxford, where he took his tie
in 1S45. During the Crimean War he was
