Tie Governor Was Alnnn

Governor HoR2, of Texas, WAS recently
down on the gulf fishing. Lie relates an in
cldent to n Fort Worth Gazette correspon-
lent thus: II was sitting in the boat one
day." he said, "just inside the entrance to
the pass, whom | felt n nibble. ] ierked the

snapper had been seized by a terrapin.

A Fill ion Dollars.

The fifty-tirst congress made approprla-
tions aggregating 81, 0OS, 100000, and did it
ever strika you what that much money
meant in material form? A dollar bill is
seven and one-half inches long, a billion
eight million of them would be 1856, 4OO, 900
inches, or i'll round numbers 100, 600 miles,
almost half way to the moon A band of
dollar bills five times around the earth, or a
belt of dollars fifteen inches wide clean
around the equator; says the Detroit Free
Press.
A dollar bill contains 2221155 square inches;
ZOOS, OOO,O00 would contain %, $50, DOC, 900
square inches or 3,G16 square acres, and we
then would have Il carpet of dollar bills
spreading over more than five square miles
of territory.
One hundred 81 bills may be squeezed
into a space one inch high, a 1000, OOO, 900
of them would rise into a monument 100
miles above the surface of the earth.
Counting 500 a minute, a bank clerk
would require 1850 working days of 10
hours each to count this money, rather a
long time for somebody to wait on the out
side of the counter for his cash.
In silver dollars this amount would weiph
1880 tons, that is to say, 1876 carloads.
An array of AL, 600 men, each carrying 100
pounds, would be required to move the pile,
and if the dollars were laid one upon the
other, running eight to the inch. there
would rise a monument of silver 1887 miles
high, some distance further up thar is the
Grant monument in New York.
Paying $50 al acre for land this money
would buy 100 pol ,0OO-acre forms, and pay
ing the government price of $l.25 per acre
it would buy five states the five of Texas
and % the size of Michigan. =
1t would pay the salary of tho president
of the United States for 20, 100 years, that
is to say, for the next 5,O40 presidents, and
1t would be ample to meet the wages of the
Independents for 1876, 900 years, or the
next 81. 800 of them.
A private soldier in the regular army
could be accommodated with pocket money
out Of it for almost G,400, 600 years.
1t would furnish to a thirsty multitude
Il, lGO, 100000 glasses of beer, say u little
less than twenty each for every man, woman
and child on earth.
1t would. if distributed, give every state
in the union twenty-four new millionaires.
and it would pay the salaries of two sena-
tors from each state for $500 years.
And lastly the whole sum wouldn't b1y a
single breath of life for n dying man. or do
him a particle of good after the breath had
left his body.

would completely irrigate seven acres
Of land, A we'll of very moderate capnc-
ity, giving out a four-inch stream, flow
ing four miles an hour would cover ak
teen acres to tho depth Of n inch.
Dividing the land to DO irrigated into
seven portions and flooding n part
each day, a four inch flow OF water
would easily irrigate 10 acres. And
that would be a very smsll we'll indeed.
The latest artesinn spouter struck in
South Dakota pours out 10000 gallons
per minute. A four-inch stream shoots
up seventy feet into the air and tho
overflow runs off in u mighty current
like a river. When completed it will
DO an eight-inch we'll from top to bot
tom, and the quantity of water that will

almost incalculable. That is the kind
Of a we'll the Helena company proposes
to have just acrcss tho valley.

A GEORGIA editor after years Of Ok
p%erience sums UP his view Of journal
ism in this statement: 'The longer we
run a newspaper and write about peo-
pie the more we realize how impossible
it 10 to scratch every man on the right
spot" Commenting IN this opinion the
veteran editor of the New York Sun
gives his own theory in these words:
Don't scratch any OF your readers, but
let each Of them scratch for himself
while you publish the news of the
world and expound it's philosophy" We
would never have suspected that this
was Brother Dana's genial philosophy
OF journalism if he hadn't told us so.
The Sun has done a good deal Of
scratching in it's time and so far as our
observation goes it has been pretty uni
formly distributed among mankind and
tolerably deep.

A NOVELTY In TRUSTS.

The golden ago of frealsery is past
The lofty giant of the dime museum

Of a expenditure. Ills cigars

The consequential dwarf need not hope
to escape the influence of the general
freak catastrophe, and the coming days
will see him abate some considerable
share of his disproportionate Importance.
There was a time when managerial com

But these times are gone, and

that can stand the flood tide of success.
More than any other influence, it saps
our consideration for others and swells
the sand-heap of our W Importance.
And the freaks are but mortals after all.

We need not tell any student Of our
modern life that it is a trust that has done
this thing. The head and front of the

to Barnum's hippodrome. Under his
leadership the National Dime
Museum company has been inccrpor-

of 81, 100000, and things are henceforth
to be run on a thoroughly business
basis. 10 the scale Of salaries, which
has been adopted by mutual consent,
each manager must rigldly adhere, and
each stands pledged to purchase stock
proportionate TO the value Of his mon
strosities. New York has the good for
June to become the grand distributing

make their debut, and, until metropol-

Ir appears that the agitation in
Paris against the wearing of hats by
ladies in the theaters did not have it's
origin with the suffering male public,
but with the enterprising hair dressers
of the gay metropolis. The hair dress
ers, in a petition to the minister Of fine
arts, asked that in all theaters subsi-
died by the government the wearing of
hats be prohibited and that the coiffeur
at such entertainments be according to
the fashion devised by the hair dressers'
association. The cause Of this remark
able request lies in the fact that the
trade in false hair has greatly decreased,
and the present fashion of wearing hair
in the Grecian style threatens still
further injury to the business. The
BARRIERS are going too far. They are all
right as to the hat, but when it comes
to the head, there is the rub. Better
stop with shutting out the artificial OBJ
structions to the stage and let nature
and the ladies have their own sweet
will as to the rest.

sible, democrats throughout the state
will attend these meetings. We hope
SO, too. 1t would not be a bad idea for
the clubs throughout the state, and
democrats who are not members of
clubs, to take in the meetings in both
places. The meeting In Butte falls on
