One ia Conklinp , and 1 reasons are well known. The otber \s \ Thurman. The latter cannot forget the drubbing Rutherford gave him once upon a time , when they were rival candidates for the Gover nor's chair. THE silver Dill has already boon discussed by the cabinet. It has butjwo friends in that body- Thompson and McUrary. It was eimply dlscuBfied and laid aside for future teference. As the President himself is not yet Informed as to what he will do , nowepaer men may well give it up. THE question of the Bible In the public schools etsll aRitatos deeplj too minds of the people of the quie city of Now Haven i Connecticut "Without wishing to interfere with that which does not concern us , we would suggest that the matter be referred to the editor of the Xiincolu Journal , He would settle that question for them In short order. Ho really has i'genius" in that di rection. _ _ _ PREPARE for a few inoie bricke. Ben. Butler Is liable io heave them in every direction with an utter din regard us to whom they may hit. The President baa deserted Sim mons , Butler's man for Collector of the port of Boston , and has nomi nated the candidate recommended by Senator Hoar. If there are not a few bandaged headn soon it will bo because the Essex man can nol hit his mark. SENATOR FSKKY lias again been cnoseu temporary president of the Senate by the Republicans. Sena tor Thurman received the eolid vote of the Democracy. From this and that , hta speech on the silver bill , for instance , and other litlo ! matters like the one above mentioned , the admirers of the Ohio Senator already see him In the Presidential chair. Tnurman4s now one point ahead of Hendrlcku , and the latter must lose no time In putting in anotbed bid. IOWA abolished the death penalty a few yeara since , and her present Legislature is considering the ques tiou of its restoration. A bill is now under discussion by that body which contemplates the revival of what Is known In France as the National razor otherwise , the guil lotine. Perhaps It makes little erne no difference as to the manner of an execution ; still , tbciftis some thing about the method proposed that pavora of barbarism , and it eeems to us that in this Republic , the guillotine is an unnecessary piece of machinery EDWAKD R. HEDGES , one of the proprietors of tbo liiucjlu Globe , died recently at Springfield , Mis eouri. His Ufa promised to be one of usefulness and honor. The Held he he > d chosen that of journalism is broad and fertile , and offers to tJOEO who am willing to undertake the labor of its cultivation , unlimit ed opportunities for usefulness. Wo tender our sympathies to the be reaved family , and regret the loss of one who had Just begun the labors of life with so many bright prospects for the future. THERE has been an immense amount of "stuff and nonsanse" in the proceedings of the United States Sonatu lately. If there la one thing more disgusting than another It is to read the trashy speeches of EOIUO of our best men when tnose states men are talking to the country Iu- stead of attending to their business. Toeso [ olds for political support siould not be heeded. The war veterans would have been supplied with pension moaey long ago if there had been a little more wort and considerably less gush oxpond- el on the pension bill. THERE is every Indication of live. * ly times in New Hampshire during the coming State campaign. Mr. W. E. Chandler Is anxious to see the Republican party defeated , that ha may construe it as a rebuke to Hayes and an endorsement of him- eclf. The Republicans of tbe State eat down jretty heavily on Wil- liaai at their last convention , and a victory for the nominees of that convention would bury him beyond & political lesurrcction. General Garfleld Is one of the prominent l-Hderawho has consented to come to the relief of New Hampshire's Republicans. AN Investigation has been Bug- geatd that would prove exceeding 3y interesting , even if it din not result in nny special benefit. The tiojeet proposed ia to find out how many railroad attorneys there are Jn Congress. Wo often hear that this and tlmt prommont senator or } cpresentatlvo' appeared before the rui re tno court in bahalf of some great corporation. "The distinguish ed statesman Is one of the attorneys /or the corporation and is pnid by > bo year for his services. Hla Influ ence In Congress is , of course , in cluded and he is not bribed. It is .1 convenient jvay for railroad and o her crrporatioDB to secure con- Kiosslonal influence and is a very { nrewd pieceQoRLtactics , as it does lint come within. , reach of-an action TUT bribery/By" J ? means give IB : i list of these congressional wreck ere. THE Senate committee on claim decided by a majority of ono vote to report a bill providing for the payment of a claim amounting to one hundred and flftythousand ; dollars lars , presented by the Methodist Episcopal Church SontbJ foroccupa. tion of its book agency building at Nashville by Federal troops at one time during the war. As to the merits of this particular claim we know nothing. But on genera' principles , Euch awards are fraudt that should not be tolerated. If the occupation of that building was warranted as a military necessity no such claim should bo allowed The nature of the Institution should have nothing to do with It ; nnd even if that question was to be con sldered , it is doubtful if theolaim it er-tillrd to any more consideration than the claim of a pagan. At least if we remember rightly , the cause of the Dmou foum few advocates in Southern pulpits. The probability Is that the claim above mentioned la intended as a beginning for direct damages frrusrnglive of former patriots and traitors , and it would bo difficult to tell just where and when thsse claims will cease coming in , espe cially if this one is allowed and paid. Improve the South. Lot the nation assist in reconstructing her harbor ? , levees , railroads and industries of a'l kinds ; but do not make the North pay twice for having reatorec the Union. It has coat us pretty heavily , as it is. There might be such a thing as too much concilie- ' tion in that direction. GREAT BRITAIN is still pushing the most gigantic preparations for war. It is probable that in tbe event Russia should insist on the terms of peace as now proposed , En gland or Austria would fight single banded. In fact , they must do it , or no longer pretend to be first rate powers. However , Russia's terms may have been prepared on the basis that it is easy enough to cut down a little , but impossible to make terms more stringent , after submitting them to the powers. Since England has taken such careful paius to prepare pare for war , and has been accused of being willing to do anything rather than fight , it is hardly fair for Russia to back out of every prposition over which if insisted upon , John Bull saya he is willing to measure himself with the Czar. But Russia's terms o : peace made the world laugh. Bhe went to war with the Sick Man in order to protect some unfortunate Christians , who were ill-treated in various ways , and many thought the Russians deeply interested in humanity , and the causa of the Master. Now , the Bear has bis claw on these Christians , ho Bays they shall be taxed to pay his war indemnity entirely Deyond what they were capable of bearing up un dor. Tlieeo terms give the Christ fans a choice between starvation un der their Russian protectors , or bayonets - onets at the hands of the Sick Man. It seems to us that , considering all tbe circumstances , the bust thing for the Christians to do is to pray for the Balkan mountains to fall on them. THE question known as the frank- inn privilege has been before tH oaiintry in one form or another for many years. Jn connection with tbe preseut agitation of the ques tion we are reminded of the anec dote told of Pcssenden. Fessenden was at that time the leader of the Senate. He was quiet , firm , honest , and a master in debate. Regularly ( ho house would abolish the frank ing privilege , and then go over into the Senatu and beg the grave and reverend seigniors of that body to defeat their bill. It was on an oo CHsion like this that a favorite sou of the West approached Fessenden aud implored him to defeat the bill that hid just passed the Honse when it should como np in the Senate. "Didn't you vote for the bill ? ' ashed thg Maine Senator , fixing his severe eye upon the smil ing Westerner. "Well , yes , ever so many of us voted fur the bill to please our constituents , you know , as it is a popular measure but we didn't think u would pass. " The grim Fesseuden said : "When you are as old as I am , you will learn that the reputation of a statesman Is not niaae by any such fourpeuce ha'penuy business as this. " COL XORNKY thinks Stanley made a very unfortunate speech before the Royal Geographical Society of London To say the letst , he thinks it was in bad taste. However , the kindness with which the travel er's ( HBtingutfibed auditors over- oofted hta short-comiugs is very cmimendibe. But Forney's de scription i& oater , and we give hid own wordy : 11 wish I could wiite as warmly f it as I can of his great labors and discoveries in Africa , But it was in wretched taste. Worse than all , it wts. uitprepared and he was frank enough to say so. The man tracing ila mighty work was , however , the rue orator of the eveniug , and as he rorerrtd to wlmtj o had done the good people around him forgot his egregious vanity aud his apparent disregard for the place In which he stood , and gave ilui many rounds of Hearty ap plause. I have a sincere regard for Stanley and for his marvelous labors ; but the man eeeins to have lost his head The company ho men on Thursday evening could not have been more distinguished if Benja min Franklin had been tbe guest , or George Washington , or even Shakespeare or Milton. But either of these characters , like the liy/ag / Garibaldi , or General Grant , or Liboulaye , or John Bright , would have shown their greatness by that humility whtoti the really eminent mind alwavs shows In the presence of a generous popular recognition. As I heard Stanley's loose and non sensical egotism , i thought of the zaodesty of the lamented Dr. Kunr , and the clear , gentle accents qf the departed Azassiz. I do not wish to criticise , bat do deplore an exhibi tion per far beucath the man and the occasion. " BLACK HILLS KUtittETS. The Caledonia mine on 3humoc gulch , has IVPM f l t to t California parties for $75,000. . The freight on one mill of the Homestake Co. , now being shipped from Sail Francisco , amounts to 27,000. IThe Times says that Chicago has fl.000,000 invested in Black Hills properly , aud California double that amount , The daily yield of the Hidden Treasure mine , in the Black Hills keeps tbe company's 30-stamp mil constantly employed. Twenty seven residents of the Spearfish Valley , have como out in a card forbidding any individual or coiporation from di vet ting the wa ter of that stream from its natural course down the valley of the Spear fish. Superintendent Farish has a force of 150 men employed in excayatiug , filling and otherwise preparing a large level space for the location o ; the 89 stamp mill of his company , now on the way here from San Francisco. Tue Black Hills us a farming country Is rapidly progressing One commission firm at Dead wood ha ? sent out orders for uearly3)0 ( ) bush els of Colorado wheat , which iff to be sowed this year. Jn another year they will begin to manufacture their owe flour. The corpse ot E. D. or "Dad" Haggard , one of the oldest and most favorably known miners in the Hills , was discovered by pros pectors in the woods between Ger mania aud Kockcrville , a few days ago. Foul play is predicted , as the deceased had several hundred dollars lars on his person when he left Deadwood , and it could not be found on tbe body. A new mining district called the Graudviow has , for the past few weeks , created considerable interest amongst those who are posted It is situated on the main Box Elder , about 21 miles southeast of Central , the old Luster road passing through the centre of It. A town has been laid out called Grandview , lots 55 by 125. A large number of lodes haye been staked out. On Wednesday of last week a party of fifteen Indians came down upon two hunters upon the Belle Fourche , near the Montana trail crossing. The hunters had just Bitched up the bull team to come to Deadwood with their game when the reds charged them. The hunters left in haste for tbe brush , and no pursuit was offered , the Indians seeming satisfied with their stock and blankets. FAKM NOTES. Cheese should not be made in rooms where paint baa been recent ly used , as it has a tendency to in jure the flavor. A writer on honey says no pro duct of the field or farm varies so much in price , because the uuat- tractivo manner in wUcb some put it upon the market causes it to be classed as a second or third rate ur tide. Farmers should examine their cellars , seeing that they are well ventilated , and that uo decaying vegetables are allowed to taint the air aud engender disease. The un usual mildness of the winter has rendered this of more than ordina ry importance , as nearly all of our vegetable products are prone to de cay iu warm , damp weather. The Elmira , JS. Y. , Gazette , hears of many tales of Big Flats and Chemung Valley tooacco at prices ranging from 61 to 12 cents. Buy ers come on tbe ground. Small pro ducers are holding for higher prices. As to quality , the average is fair and much better thau the ' 76 crop. Perhaps two-thirds of the entire crop has beet bought. Todroj 5 mu now accused of producing u peculiar disease of the grspe leaves which prevailed in a certain section of Franco last season after a heavy dew. The dew-drop being deposited on the tenderyoung leaves , it is absorbed because tbe leaves are not yet tough enough to withstand the water. The dew drop expands and ruptures the Us. . HUCS , resulting in a dead spot on the leaf. Brain work and that of the clear est kind comes Into profitable play quite as well on the farm as any where else. Look ahead , get a just view of the position ; have plowing , sowing , harvesting and selling all done at the proper time. Never hurry , but always drive work ahead. Know in the evening what you in tend to do tbe next day. Have your rainy day and your clear day occupation designed boforeuand. Always bring into requisition tbe full means for compassing the de sired ends. Iu short , study aud understand your business , and you will enjoy it and thrive on H. It is economy to feed your work ing stock , cattle , horees or mules , with u liberal hand. Do not expect to get first-class work from them un less you do. Many men pamper a trotter or some fauay animal , which often i * of no earthly use to its own er or anybody else , aud let their teams go hungry. It seems the rule of some men to get as much work as possible out of their teams at the least possible expense. This is right In theory , but it is in reducing to practice that the treat mistake is made. The cheapest work is done with the best-cared-for team. In n paper read before the Ameri can jairymen's Association lately , Mr. C. W. Herr , of Oiiio , sensibly said : "No farmer sbjuld hi y that , after careful investigation , he does not believe will bring him at least ? 50 worth of milk during the season. He had much belter grve away a cow , if he owns "one , that does not give S4.Q worth of milk per year than to keep her during a series of years , even if ho has to pay 170 or S100 for a five-year-old cow that will give $70 worth- milk a year. Poor cows are dear at any a price ; really good ones , If young , are never sold too high. Great pains , tneu , should be taken in the selection ot cows to obtain natural milkers. " It Is surprising how small is the number of shade trees necessary to produce a striking elFect. Ten or twelve trees , fortunately or skillfully disposed on the sides or brow ot a hill , are o ten sufficient to give Itan air of richness , Larmomzing perfect ly with a highly-cultivated country. A single ireo by a farmer's house protects it and gives It an air of peace and contentment An un protected , solitary house gives a chilly , lonesome , barren impression. At this season of the year , when every intelligent farmer is making plans for the future , let th6 planting ot a few ibado trees in desirable spots about his premises bo included in the work for the coming spring. Mr. Tildeu maintains with great irranoss that this country Is deeply n his debt. It is no more , than Ight , under the circumstances , per- lapa , that he should re'use to pay is his income tax. OUR NEW ORLEANS LETTER. Improved Commerclnl Condition of the City Demand for Korthern ProdnotionN , Etc. New Or'oing correspondence Br , Paul Pie neer-Press. The improved comraercial'tondi- ' tion of New Orleans , from the openIng - Ing of the mouth of the river , will , 1 am convinced , be speedily felt along the entire line of tbe Missis , flippl valley. At the levee , beside a fleet of sailing vessels , there are sel dom fewer than five to seven steam ships from Liverpool , Havre , Bremen , etc. , taking m or discharging cargoes. The export cargo usually consists of about 40,000 bushels of small grain , with from three to five thousand bales of cot ton , according to capacity. The grain is thrown into the bold of the vessel ? by floating elevators remov ing it from bargea. These slilpo , drawing from twenty to twenty-two feet of water pass In and out with out delay or obstruction. For want of wheat the grain carried Is usually corn , sent down from the middle states , accessible to the river. At present freights are low , and flour would be carried for 2a 3 pence , or about 50 cents per barrel. So far , with us , the drift of trade has been eastward , but I think the time is not far distant when we will find a profitable account in divert ing a share of our export trade to this port. To Hhow what barges can do In cheap transportation , a tug arrived here this week from the upper river , bringing 600,000 bush els of coal. Compute the difference of moving this enormous bulk with' railroad carriage. A man from Red Wing told me that with his tug nnd barges he could bring down 100,001) bushels of wheat. VLODU. Among the large bakeries which use from 690 to 1,000 barrels per mouth , Minnesota wheat stands pre eminent above all others , but so far the price is objectionable. The bread here is inferior , but it is such as tbe people have been accustomed to in all times past. A large baker told me that bo had tried the mar ket with the best of bread , made from Minnesota high grade flour , but even the hotels refused to pay the price , and he now uses the same flour , about 300 barrels a month , mixed with the southern flour , to give his bread a more presentable appearance , with but small ad ditional cost. This will change in time , as it has already to an extent in St. Louis. In * ail cities there is a large percentage who will afford a loaf of good bread wnen they find out the difference. Ten thousand barrels is the largest amount I have seen shipped since being here , though one house told me they had sola 20,000 barrels. LAGER DEER. There is a large consumption of this beverage in this city , brought brought mainly from MilwauKee and Cincinnati. 1 have drank the famous Vienna , Bavarian and other German beers , and so far as 1 can judge there is as good , if not better , baer made in St. Paul th < m any I nave drank elsewhere. I think our brewers aie slow in not making an effort to introduce their mailing in to this market. If it can be sent from Milwaukee at a profit , it can be more readily shipped from 8t Paul. The boor sold here is good , but not , equal to the best manufactured in' our city. If the business men of New Or leans had collectively the untiring ambition and go.ahead-ativeuess of a northern city , I am convinced the town would feel the impulse of increased prosperity in less than a year. The exportation of cotton and sugar eeams to absorb nil capac ity of thought. The city would hail with delight the opening of the wheat and flour trade , but ia waiting supinely for outsiders to ring tuis traffic to their Hour instead of , by a united concert of action , preparing themselves with elevators and ship ping to assure the safe and speedy handling of the products from the upper country. Everybody says this will be brought about through time , but certainly the time has long since passed when the prelimi nary utops should have been taken. I see "Commodore" Davidson is taking active steps to supply hio boats with freight for the lower river trado. It is such mn who revolutionize trade , and the people of New Orleans , whether they de. servo it or not , may yet find their European ships loading with wheat , flour and pork. Htrawberrips are coming into market. T.vT. M. State Telegraphs. M. Leon Say , now Minister of Fi nance for the French Republic /or tbe third time , has closely studied tbe scieuce of political economy , and is the author of several finan cial works of recognized authority. A fortnight ago he succeeded in getting the Chamber of Deputies to agree to a plan of his for fixing a uniform telegraphic rate of five cen times ( one cent ) per word through out France : no telegram , However , to be less than rlfty centimes that Is , of ten sous , a Freuch sou corresponding spending with the English halfpenny ny and the Amerlcau cent. The rate for telegraphic trane- miesiou to all parts of the British Islands is at tbe rate of 24 cents for every 20 words , and six cento extra for every five words additional ; this charge including the name of the sender and receiver , and deliv ery within ono mile of the office beyond that limit the charge being twelve cents per mile. At the chief office in London , aud in all large British towns , " telegrams are received and forwarded on Sundays , precisely as is done In Franca. According to the new system , Framed by M. Leon Say , telegrams throughout the French republic will be charged one cent per word , the minimum cost of a dispatch to be : en cents , and a uniform rate of one 'ranc , or twenty cents to be charged for twenty worda , whether sent within or beyond the boundaries of department. Thsse statistical de tails are not without interest he-e , where it has been often proposed , without much examination into the expense aud tbo means of meeting t , that the Post Office Department n Washington should purchase aud work the various telegraph lines , one sure result being to obtain offi. cial patronage to a very great ex tent. In England there are 45.000 A such official ? , and the State had to pay $35,000,000 hard cash for the telegraph companies' monopolies aud plans. Keely , of "motor" fame , after absorbing about a hundred thousand in dollars from credulous people , and after faring sumptuously , wearing if diamonds , and drinking champagne for over three yeara , has at last been declared a bankrupt , fho Cleve to land Herald remarks that if Keely gets bis deserts he will furnish mo tive power for breaking stone in a penitentiary.

Some foreign journalists have started a discussion as to the evil o having country governed by per Eons advanced in years. The in stances alluded to are Russia , Ger many , franco , and .England. Princ Alexander Michael Gortschakoff i is 80 years old , and bis will , as re cards the government of the grea Russian Empire , Is believed to b more authentic than the Czar bim self , who is twenty years his junior In Germany , Prince Bismarck i only 63 ; but his imperial master William of Prussia , who now $ then shows that he has an o'ver I powering way of his own , 1 almost 81. Marshal MacMahon the President , who kept the Freuch Republic In hot water , from the 16th of May to the 14th of Decem her , and thereby very nearly caused a revolution , ia nearly 70 , whili Jules Armaud Dufaure , thepresen head of the French Ministry , i eight years older. In England Lord Beaconsfleld , born on Decem her 21 , 1805 , has entered Into his 73d year , which , It is thought , may account , to a considerable extent for his uncertain and hesitating course during the recent Russo-Tur kish war , and up to the presen time. Hia rival , Mr. Gladstone who has entered * into a decl dedly personal as well as politica antagonist to him , is only four years the junior of Lord Beacons field , but , from his unhappy infirm ity or temper , which so often and s ( greatly annoyed his colleagues and his parly followers when he was Prime Minister , is not likely ever again to have a chance of returning to that position. An Irritable tem per , a tyrannical manner , and an unconquerable tendency to act ca priciously , where he ought to take counsel with cooler heads , combine to make Mr. Gladstone , almost in bis seyenty-Hecond year , more unre liable and inefficient thau Lord Beaccmsfield at the age of seventy- two. A severe temper counts for a good deal In politics , as was also shown in Talleyrand's case. FALL OF BEAR TOOTH. A Mountain 50O loot high Tumbles Down , Ilelona Independent. Feb. 10th. Nearly every resident of Montana boa either seen or heard of the fam ous Bear Tooth mountain , the mosl prominent land mark in Northern Montana. It is visible from differ cut point at distances ranging From 40 to 60 miles , aud is in full view from Helena and the surrounding country. The-mountain ia distant thirty miles from Heleuaand stands like a grim and mighty sentinel at the end of the canon known as the Gate of the mountains , through WhfoUflowa the Missouri river. Tee Bear Tooth was fully describeu aa wonderful landmark of the early ex plorers. Lewis and Clarke. In all photographs of the northern country the two tusks , rising black and grim hundreds of feet above the moun tain , are the prominent objects. The main tusk remaius , looking lonely and isolated in its grandeur We are indebted to Judge Hilge who met the two hunters referred to bo low , for the following particu lars in re'ereiic to the fall of the smallest of the two prong Last Monday o party of hunters who were chasing game several mi lea north of the Bear Tooth , obser ved a rumbling sound and a quak ing of the earth , and supposiug it was an earthquake , aud not noti cing a repetition of it , they soon for got the ocuurence and continued their chase until they reached the Bear Tooth. Here they were aston ished by the disapperance of the Eastern Tusk. This was a perpen dicular mass of rock and earth , fully 500 feet high 300 feet in circumfer cuco at ita base and about 150 feel at the top. Tiiis immense mass bad become dislodged aud coming down with the speed of an avalanche had swept turougn a roresroriurgn tim ber for a quarter of a mile , entirely leveling ilr The country around is now covered with a great mass ol broken trees and tons upon tons of rocks , many of them as large as an ordinary house.
