Our readers will remember that during
the early fall We had on exhibition in this
office, says the Yellowstone Journal. two
monster cabbages raised by VIM. Strong
from seed. supplied by w. Atlee Burfee ~
Co, seedsmen, Philadelphia, Pa. The seed
was a new variety and known only as cab
bage No. 49," 1t was circulated extensively
throughout the United States. gratuitously
and for experimental growing. and to IN
duce fair treatment and a record OF results
prizes were offered for the largest and most
perfect product. Mr.. Strong procured
some of the seed and from the number of
heads raised he selected the two above re-
ferrea to and brought them to town, ex"
pecting to have a committee from the cham
Der of ommerc weigh them and certify
to their weight that day, but he was unable
to accomplish it that day and left them
with the journal, requesting US to per-
form this service. Politics interfered. how
ever, and the cabbages remained several
days in a warm room before they we're
weighed, during which they undoubtedly
shrunk several pounds apiece. When
weighed they showed forty-three and forty
pounds Iespeotively, and II certificate OF
these weights was issued by the OF
and given to Mr.. Strong and by
him forwarded to the Philadelphia seeds
men, from whom he has received the follow
ing letter, accompanied by a check for
S22. so:
TT is our pleasure to enclose you here
with q check for $50. so. which is one-half
the amount of second prize and total OF the
fourth prize, which we offer on cabbage No.
2S. Our reason for giving you only half OF
the second prize is that Mr.. j. M. Stein
leger, of Long Valley, CAL, sent us a head
whish weighed exactly the same rs yours,
therefore we were obliged to divide the prize
between the two of you. We congratulate
YOU upon your success, and would be
pleased to have from you a few ltsSs re-
parding the merits of this cabbage"
Mr.. strong ia we'll pleased in capturing q
prize against the whole country, and the
people of Custer county may also oongratu-
late themselves on this signal demonstra-
ton OF the fertility of the soil. The cab
bages we're raised by irrigation.

A Fashionable Disseminating ns Well AS
Millinery establishment.
Miss NJ. Mitchell, the fashionable mil
liner in the Grandon block, in response to
the demands of those who are firm i'll the
opinion that she is unequalled in Helena in
her particular business, has added to her
establishment a dressmaking department..
1t will be under the charge of Miss Shamp,
the well-known and popular modiste, and
all the assistants will be selected with re-
gard to their peculiar fitness and experi-
ence in the business. Whether ladies de-
sire a home dress, n street costume, a tailor
made suit or IA party dress, they will find
that Miss Mitchell will be able not only to
please them In fit and style, but that if abe
agrees to deliver a costume completed at a
certain hour. there will be- no disappoint-
ment.
There is no question but that n great
success will attend the ~dressmaking par
Tors, as has been the case in the millinery
department., and that the best dressed
ladies in Helena will be those who not only
buy their hats from Miss Mitchell. but have
their costumes made up ut her establish
ment. just now Miss Mitchell is giving the
ladies ba gains in trimmed hats II bon
nets for the holidays at prices that are at

WHY HE DO TIP
An Effort Being Made TO Have CLAY
King Pardoned.

There seems to be a we'll grounded
belief at Memphis that Governor
Buchanan will yet pardon Clay King
before he retires from Office. Com.
menting on this report the Knoxville
Tribune has The following very PER.
tinent paragraph:
"An effort is being made to have
Gov. Buchanan pardon II. Clay
King, the murderer of David Poston.
1t will be remembered that the low
err court sentenced King to death,
that the sentence was affirmed by the
Court aud that Buchanan
committed the sentence to life im.
prisonment Now Kings friends
hope TO prevail upon Buchanan to
pardon him outright. 1t would not
US if Buchanan were 10 grant
the pardon. 1t would be in keeping
with many OF his official acts. His
exercise of the pardoning power has
excited no little unfivorabo com.
ment, not to say suspicious"

The Democratic Nominee.

Mr.. Cleveland is the candidate of the
Democratic party for President He was
nominated this morning on the first ballot.
The MORNING News has predicted for a
year or more that he would be the nominee.
Mr.. Cleveland has the distinction OF hav-
ing been nominated without the vote Of a
single delegate from his state. The New
York delegation was against him and pro-
tested against his nomination. But the
Democratic party of New York is not
against him. The party machine was
in the campaign.
The politicians throughout the country
were against him. but the democratic
masses were for him. His strength was the
confidence which the people have in him.
Four years as President convinced
them of his ability, his honesty and of
bis purpose to do what is best for the whole
country without regard to the wishes of the
politicians.
And be will be elected. There have been
few public men who have en-
joyed so great popularity as he does.
and fewer still who have impressed
themselves 50 strongly upon their day and
generation.
The campaign in his behalf will be an
one. The people will carry it
on and elect him as they have carried on
the campaign for the nomination and nomi-
mated him. When the people fad an hon
est and capable public servant they are
10th to part with him.

The Boss saotion Gang.

Supt. Elliot Holbrook OF the Baltimore and
Ohio, says the Pittsburg Times, in the course of
an interesting chat yesterday, said he did not
believe any road in the country could turn up
like Baltimore and Ohio, a section gang with a
county coroner, doctor OF divinity, an ex-
meInber of the legislature and an emergency
physician. He has been out along the line for
week and tells story about an experience he
had while his ear was lying at Sand Patch a
night or two ago. The foreman of gang came
up TO him and said
There is more talent to the square inch in
that gang on the fur side OF that mountain than
have met with since | was at the last demo
cratic state convention"
Mr., Holbrook asked the man what he meant,
and the foreman continued:

gang a bit ago. and when few rods below

OF the men OF the gang.
What do you know about such things? I
asked, with some show of contempt.

Medical College years ago, but didn't take to
rummagiDg the body and in minute said:

and held an inquest and returned verdict of
accidental death
We'll, that's done; put him in the hand car,
and We'll take him up and get a coffin and q
preacher and bury him, l said TO the men.

hold the services right here. Let the others dig
grave up there under that big hemlock and
Wen bury him without further trouble
Acting on his suggestion, the grave was
soon dug the body carried to its side, and then
the minister took hold. He read chapter,
gave out a hymn, as he called it, which the
men sang, and then he delivered one of the
no ost feelin' an appropriate funeral sermons
ever heard. 1t was out Of sight, and nearly
every one of us was putty moist before he quit
There wasn't nothin' in it at all resembln' my
church. but it caught me, cause it was simple
and as powerful as the dynamite we had been
usin's all day.
Like the doctor, the gospel fellow had had
his innings in school and seminary, but a
woman scrape or Parkhurst expedition had
downed him and he was, unbeknownst to him
self, doing really big now. What struck me all
of heap was the fact that 1, who was bossin'
the gang could only touch the pen to make my
signature on the pay rolls, and all the fellows
under me were either NJ D. s. D. DIS or D. B. s.

The meeting of colored democrats in
Chicago day before yesterday was sig
nificant Of the approaching complete eman-
cipation of the race. political as we'll as
civil. Ever since the war the colored mans
vote has been regarded by the Republican
party as its personal property, aud until
within the past few years that vote was
deposited just as the republican managers
directed. But colored men are beginning
to see the hollowness and sham Of that
party's alleged friendship. and are breaking
away from it. An "Afro-Amerlcann demo
cratic newspaper called tho Message has
been established in New York for the pur-
pose of teaching colored men the truth con-
corning the attitude of the two great parties
toward them. HENRY F. Downing, ex-
minister to st. Paul de Loanda, Africa,
is the editor of the paper, and his editorial
utterances mark him as a man competent TO
undertake the task. On all public questions
he takes the side Of reason and common
sense, against prejudice and sectionalism,
and is doing good work for his people. The
Message is a Cleveland paper, claiming
and proving, too-that Mr.. Cleveland,
when he was President, did more for the
colored people than nuy recent republican
