The development OF the ruby and
sapphire mines along the Missouri river
means the advent Of a great industry to
Montana. The energy with which the
English syndicate has taken hold of the
matter indicates that nothing will be
neglected in giving these gems a degcrv-
ing place in the worlds market of prec-
ious stones. The company has had much
to contend with in the way of refuting
slanderous articles on the subject in
eastern newspapers. The eminent ex-
perts, who have been in this city some
time, are thoroughly convinced of the
existence of the stones in large numbers
and of their value among gems.

AMONG other things the governor of
Alaska emphasizes the benefits derived
from the distinctly industrial schools in
that territory. Thenatiyes are quick to
learn the trades which they can practice,
and are enthusiastic students. And yet
the system might be a failure if they
were sent thousand of miles to enjoy
these educational privileges. This, at
least, has been the experience with
some of the Indian boys sent to the in
dustrial schools in the east. There are
no good reasons why these schools
should not be located Oh Indian reserya-
tons.

The old feud between St, Paul anc

THE old feud between st. Paul and
Minneapolis has again broken out with
much violence because st. Paul secured
the Walter A. Wood harvester works
after the company had decided to locate
in the other city. The Minneapolis
papers, therefore, denounce st. Paul as
tho least desirable town on earth for
anything. The war between these towns
will never end until they become one
city and then there will doubtless be
trouble in the family.

The New York World thinks it un-
dignified on the part Of a city of the size
Of New York to enter into competition
for SO u%nimportant a distinction as the
holding of II national convention. On
the whole we think this is the most
plausible excuse for New York's retire
ment from the race that could be found
and tho most satisfactory to New York

CHAUNcEY M. DEPEw, when asked
what he would do if threatened by a

and tell him funny stories. Any sug-
gestions from DR.. Depew are always en-

quite possible that the above method
could be employed to much advantage
in our insane asylums.

The Adventure ofMr. Howard and Mss Woods.

TIE Adventure ofHr. Howard d10 Mss Woods.
Last Monday afternoon Mr.. William
Howard and Miss Julia Woods. two
members of colored society in Shep-
herdstown who. though yet youthful,
are not unknown TO fame OF a certain
sort, RECALLED themselves with walk
up the railroad track. Mr.. Howard
carried gun with him, and in play
full manner remarked 10 Miss Woods
that he believed he would pepper her,
as a remembrance of the occasion.
He pointed the gun at her, and to his
establishment and Miss Woods panied
surprise the gun went of, part of the
charge wounding the lady in the back.
She turned as pale as the dusky ma
ture Of her complexion would permit,
and then she set up a great howl as
she started on a run for home, not tor
getting to express sundry derogatory
remarks concerning Mr. Howard.
The wounds, we believe, are not re-
garded as serious, and Mr. Howard
and his gun are still at large.

As to Hunting.

As to Hunting.
The partridge season opens next
Monday in this State, but in the
Shepherdstown neighborhood the
land is being so generally posted that
there will hardly be field where
sportsman may hunt. OF course, 1t
is annoying to have irresponsible or
reckless people spread themselves
over a mans farm, sometimes, per
haps, doing damage. But, on the
other hand, aren't the farmers get
ting a leetle too severe? We do not
think there are very many persons
who would abuse the privilege OF
knocking over few rabbits or
SQUIRRELS, or who would make the
farmer any the worse off by ENJOYING
the exhilarating sport of bird shoot
ing on his land. Give us town fell
lows little show. and let US stretch
our legs through the country now and
then without being sat down upon
by you landowners.

A Big Black Snake.

All the past summer and spring
there has been talk of monstrous
big black snake that made himself at
home in the fields of Mr.. Lemen and
Mr. Billmyer, along the Shepherd
pike. His track was frequently seen
in the dust of the road, and there
were other evidences that he was in
existence. Few persons have seen
him, though, for he seemed to be
averse to an interview. Not long
since. however, he was seen by three
or four colored men, who unfortunate
" were unable to kill him. They got
a good view of him, and they say that
he was as thick as mans leg at the
knee. and so black that he glistened.
His length could not be ascertained,
but they are positive he was not less
than ten feet long. He was lying,
when they saw him, at the edge OF
the road, near the stack-yard in Mr..
Lemens field. The snake was seen
on another occasion crossing the road
with a rabbit in his mouth.
