[For the Montauian.] I’ve listened to the brayin’ Of the donkey an’ the- mule, Mare got many a jawin’ While studin’ hard a t skule; But all of this was pleasant— Was music in my ear— Compared to people gossipin’, A telling what they hear. I have heard kids a-squawlin’ Like they’d equal ’em selves to death, ’An’ only let up on squawlin’ When they were out of breath; But there’s not a kid in all The land, th a t ever did appear So annoyin’ as the gossips Who’re tellin’ all they hear. There’s no one so disgustin’, There’s no one I so despise As the village gossips Who’re generally full of lies; If advice I was to gin you I’d beg of you to steer Wide of the gossips Who’er tellin’ all they'bear. Deceit and hypocrisy Go tnarchin’ hand in hand Doin’ untold devilment All throughout our glorious land; Both of these are harmful But neither do I fear, As the people gossipin’ A-tellin’ all they hear. Then let us be more kereful In all we do and say An’ not always be a-blabin’ About other people’s way; For our friends will forsake us . And the world will'at us sneer \ If we form the sneakin’ habit Of tellin’ all we bear. L E E KEARN3. Augusta. Mont., October 31, 1801. — ----- S v h A H V\ i > MUCUA. D eath of a Noted Indian W o m a n . W i t h a •’ h e ich of H e r Im e r c - tin g Life. [Bozeman Chronicle.] Sarah Wiunemucca Hopkins, well known in this country, after eating a hearty meal on Tuesday, October 17lh, suddeuly expired iu great pain. This was al Henry’s lake. 120 twles away Iram Boze man, ami almost as far away from a doctor. As a result the nature , of lhe disease which carried this notable woman away is not, and may never be known. * Sarah was born somewhere near 1844 and she was a very small child when she saw the first white man. Her people were scattered at that time nearly all over the territory now known as Nevada. Her grandfather was chief of the entire Flute nation and was camped near Hum bolt Jake when the first white people were seen goipg through to California. This old Piute, as soon as he learned that, the whites were in sight, made haste to welcome them but was stood oil. and the old man’s heart was very sore thereat. Three years after the old man had */ bet rev success for ho met ‘Mho Pathfinder” and wa* christened by Fremont as ’•'Captain Trnckee.” which . interpreted means that' Truekee was a good Indian. Sarah being an exraoruinary intelligent person was sent by her people to Washington in 1882, where she presented a petition asking that the tribe be restored the Malheur reservation in consideration ol the services of her grandfather in guiding General Fremont to California. Sarah acted for Gen. Howard’s department as guide and interpreter during the Ban nack and Piute war and was high ly complimented by him for her compassionate services. During this war she was instrumental m bringing her father and his imme diate hand of 1 udians out. of the hostile Baunack camp near Jimi per lake, Oregon, in 1868; alter which she remained with Genera! Howard’s command and did good service in inducing Indians to come in and surrender/ She taught an Indian school at Vancouver Barracks for one vear, and lectured for some time in the east upon the wrongs her people had sustained by the invasion of the whites and the peace policy of the government, which took the Indians away from their home and scattered them over the coun try. She also wrote a book, which had a large sale. All in all, Sa rah was a remarkable woman, al though of late years she has not been heard of. ------------- * - « .» ------------- Col. N e tileton a t W a shington Ct 1. Neltlelon, engineer of the irrigation survey, and Capt. Hay, geologist of the survey, have re turned to Washington from their lengthy trip in the northwestern states. They are now preparing their report to the secretary of ag riculture upon the experimental irrigation surveys that they have been making in North and South Dakota and Montana. Their re ports signify that they are highly pleased with the experiments and they will > urgently recommend that the next congress make a suf ficient appropriation to establish artesian wells in districts where they have conducted their experi ments. Col. Hinton of the geo- graphical survey, who has been through the west in the interest of irrigation, and also is back, is preparing his report. He will recommend the extension of the system of surveys throughout the arid territory in the interest of ir rigation. N E W E D U C A T I O N A L W R I N K L E . V Scliviu »1 T h a t is Said to W o r k S a tisfactorily in F r a n c o . (Pittsburg Dispatch.) The science of educating the young is making rapid strides, and new theories are put into' practice as soon as they are dem- onstated'to be better than the old. In France a year’s trial has been given to a new distribution o/ lime for schools for young girls, \ and the results are reported to have been excellent. Instead of forcing the children to attend school both morning and after noon, and making them travel the\ streets four times a day and keep ing them from home for a large portion of their waking hours, I hey were only allowed to attend school between 9 o’clock and noon, leaving the afternoon free for domestic and personal work. It is now reported that never was such good work done by the children. It wa3 not difficult to keep them within the limit of five mornings all the instruction real ly needed, and the children, with the prospect of being free at noon, are said to have worked with a will without either fatigue or im patience. The school teachers also devoted themselves more thoroughly to their labors, know ing that they could have the after noon for their own studies, liven the parents were grateful. A large proport ion of thè chi Aren were troni poor families, and p a r ents not only secured < heir assist ance in household duties, but they made the home influence felt. In the Unit* d Stales the tenden cy has been of late to cram the brains of the children, and the question as to whether or not this \ was not hurtful has often been discussed iu educational circles. With a reduction of the hours of tuition there was a cutting off of some extra studies, but reports show there was a greater profici ency in the essential studies. If it can be shown chat the half-day system is an improvement, there a,re many reasons why it could be adopted with propriety here. Thè fact that it leaves a full half day free,would be an incentive to poor people to force their children to attend schools until they attain a greater age, instead of as at pres ent removing them for the pur pose of setting them at work. It is a system that should receive careful consideration at the hands of the educational bodies.! .
