Washington Letter; Mr. Toole is now
endeavoring to secure the insertion of an
amendment to one of the appropriation
bills, by the senate committee on appro
priations, of $25,000 for the survey of the
N'orthern Pacific railroad lands in Mon
tana. Gen. Sparks refuses to make these
surveys on the ground that the govern
ment may forfeit the lands in question.
Whether the lands are forfeited or not it
is important that they should be surveyed.
If not forfeited they should be surveyed
that the territory may tax the lands and
thus secure a large addition to the taxable
property. If forfeited, the surveys will
still of use to actual settlers. Surveys
.could readily be made in one year which
would, under existing laws, add $10,000,
000 to the taxable property of the territo
ry. This would lift about one-sixth of the
burden of taxation from the present prop
erty holders.
An item of $12,500 in the river and har
bor appropriation bill is for the improve
ment of the Yellowstone river between
Glendive and the Missouri. No item ap
pears for the improvement of the upper
Missouri.
The Drum Lummon mine is a concern
of which Montana and the whole mining
industry may well feel proud. It is the
greatest property now within the knowl
edge of miners, and judging of the future
by the record of the past, there is reason
to believe that it will reach a higher niche
in the temple of industrial fame. The
Granite Mountain is only second to it, and
with its new mill will make its monthly
records crowd closely upon those of the
Drum Lummon. And beth of these great
mines are in Montana.-Independent.
A New Zealand chief claimed a piece
of land on which he had settled, on the
ground that he had eaten the preceding
owner. No contest.
o They impose strange sentences in Eng
land sometimes. Here are a few samples:
A man for stealing a hand-cart, five years'
penal servitude; and another man for as
saulting a fellow workman and knocking
his eye out, forty shillings' fine! A man
for begging bread when he was unable to
obtain employment, ten days' imprison
ment at hard labor; and another, for going
to the Workhouse rather thah accept em
ployment at three shillings a day, a month's
servitude and twelve strokes of cat-o'-nine
tail!l Again, a man for stealing a cotton
shirt, five years' penal servitude; and an
other man for criminal assault upon two
infants, three months' imprisonment. Jus
tice in England is not blind. She squints.
Salt Lake Herald: A robbery which
for neatness, deftness acd general mysteri
ousness, exceeds anything of the kind ever
known in this region, and which has thus
far puzzled detectives and every one else
who have looked into the case-occurred
on the Pacific Express comliany's route
about three weeks ago. Any intelligence
concerning the affair has been kept quiet
in the hope that some clue would be light
ed on, but up to this time every one seems
to be as much in the dark as he was five
minutes after the robbery was discovered.
On the 13th of December, the Desert Na
tional received an order from the First Na
tional bank of Dillon, Montana, for $2.500.
On the same day that amount of gold, in
closed in the usual canvas sack, duly seal
ed and wita atag attached bearing the ad
.dress, "First National Bank, Dillon, Mon
tana." the value of the contents also being
written upon- it, was forwarded per the
Pacific Express company, which duly re
ceipted tb the bank for the package. The
sack of coin reached Ogden all safe and
the Utah Central messener tdok his re-
iceiptfor it Ie the usual manner. t

who informed the Desert National that
he way bills had reached Dillon with the
word "short" marked opposite the $2,500
item. The bank produced its receipt, and
the express company had no alternate but
w to make the amount good and it was
i promptly forwarded to the Dillon bank.
in On the same day the First National of Og
. den had received an order for $2,500 from
e the First National of Dillon, and this
- package went through and was received
ie in due time.
n. A professor in a medical college called
it the attention of his class to a man who had
d" applied for medical advice. "Now, gen
d tleman," said the professor, "will you be
d kind enough to look at this patient closely,
le and see if you can tell what is really the
11 matter with him? Look at his eyes, the
's shape of his head, and the expression of
h his features. You detect nothing; and I
do riot wonder at it, for, gentlemen, let me
assure you that it requires many years of
`e actual experience. It needs the eye of the
practised physician to detect at a glance
the malady of the patient. I am no more
r acquainted with this man than you are, yet 1
as soon as I looked at him I saw that he
was a deaf mute." The students indulged
n in exclamations of admiration. As soon
as these had subsided the supposed deaf
mute opened his mouth and spoke. "I
say, sir, I hope you will excuse me, but it's
Smy brother who is deaf and dumb. Ie is
outside waiting to know if he shall come
e in. Shall I fetch him in?"
e The secretary of the interior has finally
a stepped off again and within a few months
e will probably have the gout like Cleve
e land. Then we anticipate some fun, for (
if Mrs. Lamar shall undertake to overrule
any of Sparks' decisions, fur will fly as r
a well as Sparks.-Inter Mountain,
The senate has passed a bill granting a
pension of $2,000 a year to the widows of
General Logan and F. P. Blair.
A Cordial Invitation.
Head of the house (to young man at front
door)-Haven't I told you, sir, never to call
here again?
Young man-Yes, sir; but I haven't call
ed to see Miss Clara, this time. I have a
two months' gas bill to collect.
Head of the house (in a milder tone) I
see. You will please call again.-Life.
