THE LAMENT OF THE HAYSEED. Oh, there was a hayseed who cherish ed a plan that an editor he would be, With nothing to do but rake in the dough aud speak of himself as “ we;” So he came to this place and said, “ here’s a race that, I can easily sell,” And now each day you can hear., him snv,“ I wish the old thing was in — .” ‘Well, it’s hustle around all night and it’s hustle around all day. . H is beard he tears and sometimes he swears when a creditor cash demands And laments his lot that he ever got. that newspaper on his hands. ’ Corson’s local matter sounds rather familiar, and his editorials rather mcclmuical. Wonder what’s the 'reason? In advising him to go aud make a reputation for himself, Fitzsimmons is only paying Corbett back in his own coin. Every dog has his day, and Dur- rant is no exception to the rule. He will hang to day—unless given an other stay. We wish to tell our readers that the Chronicle’s subscription list is rapid- lv increasing, and., wo don’t give Iianna credit for it either—we credit the people. •* Governor Smith has appointed the state veterinarian, M. E. Kupwels,- dolegate at large to the national stock growers’ convention, which will meet at Denver next month. Tho Teton Chronicle comes to the front with an edition of twelve pages which reflects tho progress of that cow and sheep country. It is a re'ad- a! le and interesting edition all through.—Whitehall Zephyr. Before us is th«* holiday edition of i the Anaconda Recorder, presenting a neat aud attractive appearance. Its different views of the smelting works and descriptions are excellent, and reflect much credit ou the part of its managers. It appears to the Chronicle that the writer of the article in last week’s Acantha, headed, “ Another’s Opin ion,” strained at a camel and swal lowed a gnat. The wheels in his head are revolving the wrong way and we have grave apprehensions as to his sanity. But then, there are others. The Rothschilds have invested heavily in Mexican mining properties, and will also build two railroads, which is not an indication that they are particularly afraid of silver monometalism. In this gold standard country—the Burlington cannot raise the money for one of thè Rest railway propositions on the con tinent. A Chicago preacher, who says he has been starved out of one church and frozen out of another during tlm past year, has left the ministry and -will go to the Klondike. There be will find that the freez’ug and starv ing process gn t<. gether and complete their work in less thar a year — Minneapolis Iribuno. ' -, ... -A , V. ¡3 A little girl way down in Georgia, after praying for the heathen, the preacher and the Sunday school teach er, at last -ended up by 8a|,ing; \And now, 0 Lord,■■ take good care of your self, for you know you and McKinley are all we have got to depend on, and it don’t look like McKinley’ js going to do much for us. Amen.” The counterfeit silver dollar dated 180-1 has run against the fact that it contains too much silver, and also with notice from the mint that no silver dollars were coined that year. -Helena Herald. The latest society fad in- London is said to be the sending by ladies to their gentlemen friends photographs of themselveB attired for bed. Of course the attire is elaborate, but never-lhe-less. it must be hot times in Johnnie’s country. The married may point with pride to the fact that out of the 412 pati ents in the asylum at Warren Springs all but 108 are single men and women. This is one good argument in favor of marriage.

There is room here for more capital than is now, invested in any equal area on earth. With the. coming of capital'-will come the demaud for laborers; with the coniing of settlers will come the multiplying of farms and the products of all home supplies. MONTANA BEATS THE WORLD, The Helena Herald thus tersely and comprehensively sums up the advantages and resources of Mon tana: Montana is nearly as large as Japan aud three-fourth as large as France. It is in the latitude of the central and best parts of those countries, which number over forty million each. It is blessed with the most varied, salubrious aud temperate climate. It has well attested mineral wealth, the extent and magnitude of which has been as yet only partially realiz ed. • Its soil is adapted to the growth of. cereals, iof -u ¿'equaled iiefeage yield, of quality nowhere surpassed. Its vegetable aud fruit product are unexampled in size or il ivor, and the abundance of the harvest field and orchard is without' example any where. Its plains and valleys and moun tain sides furnish the richest pastur age for sheep and cattle that success fully compete with the flocks and herds of foreign lands. It has unlimited supplies of water for irrigation that reduces to certaiu- AUSTRALIAN WOOL. ' “*> ■ ** Figures Just come to band show ing the .disastrous nature, of the recent drought in New South Wales, and which .are embodied in our Boston wool market Report of this week, says jthe Wool and Cotton Re porter: The stock department of New South Wales finds that somthing like 8,500,000 sheep and lambs have disappeared from the pastures since the last count was taken, namely, December 81,189G, and its conclusion is, after making due allowance for the sheep killed by local . consump tion and. export, as well as those lost by the drought, that, as compared with last season, there will probably be a shortage in the colony of from 100,000 to 120,000 bales. Roughly estimated a bale of Australian wool contains about 360 pounds. At this figure the probable shortage in New South Wales may be reckoned at 39,000,000 pounds, with little doubt that the actual -result will exceed rather than fall short of this amount. It should be born in mind that the shortage will not, be coufiued to New South Wales, but will be manifest in Queensland and Victoria as well; It is clear that as yet there is no indica tion of a change in the movement which has ‘ been noticeable for some years past , in the,direction of smaller flocks in New,,South Wales. From 1890 to 189-4 the number of sheep .iti that colony’ranged between 56,009,- 000 and '61,000,000, whereas the number available for shearing this season is placed at 39 to 40 milium. These figures are of gre^t import ance on account of their bearing on the wool market of the world during the next year or two. Fine wools are now scarce in every manufacturing country on the face of the globe, ex cepting the United States (they are not plentiful here in dealers’ hands, what ever may be the situation of the manufacturers,) aud with any thing like a normal demand for them the meaning of the figures just given would be quite apparent.
