This may be all true, but, with no “ disposition to disparage Montrose’s railroad prospects, we tail to see why the extension should be made to that point instead ot to Clinton. It 1s a well known fact that the Gould lease on the M. K. & T. expires shortly, when the indications are that the Gould system will have no fur- ther use for it. Articles ot associa- tion were filed with the Secretary of State on the 21st of February, to build a road from the city of Jeffer- son in a southwest direction to form a junction with the Mo.

In either event we cannot see why Montrose was singled out as the only available point to secure this road. Possibly there 1s something behind the screens we do not understand and the road may have to touch at this point to tulfill prophecy and other things. The national encampment ot the G. A.

August 23, 1742.” A Chinaman in San Francisco named Won Tong studied law, and his first client was a brother celestial named Lung Choo. He got all of Choo’s money and then eloped with his wife, all of which shows that even a Chinese lawyer does not need more than one ‘‘tong’’ to gather up all his chent possesses that is worth haviag. The Coyote and His Haunts, A apne of the great plains is in- complete without a coyote or two, hur rying furtively through the distance. The coyote is a wolf—a wolf about two-thirds the size of that one which haunts forests and the pages of story- books. He has a long, lean body; legs atrifle short, but sinewy and active; a head more foxy than wolfish, for the nose is long and pointed, the yellow eyes are set in spectacle framis of black eyelids, and the hanging, tan-trimmed ears may be erected, giving a well- merited air of alertness to their wearer; a tatl—straight as a pointer’s—also fox- like, for it is bushy beyond the ordi- nary lupine type. and a shaggy, large- maned, wind-roffled, dust- gathering coat of dingy-white, suffused with tawny brown, or often decidedly brindled: “A shade in the stubble, a ghost by the wall, Now leaping, now limping, now risking a sTop-eased land tnrcejouted| uteves elmae A thoroughly vagabond outcast in grey.” Such is the coyote—genus loci of the plains; an Ismaelite of the desert; a con- sort of rattlesnake and vulture; the tyrant of his inferiors; jackal to the puma; a bushwhacker upon the flanks of the buffalo armies; the pariah of his own race, and despised by mankind. Withal, he maintains himself and his tribe increases; he outstrips animals fleeter than himself; he foils those of far greater strength: he excels all his rivals in cunning and intelligence; he fur- ishes to the Indian not only a breed of domestic dogs, but in many cane races ranks as earliest progenitor; he becomes the center of myths, and final- ly is apotheosized. Our coyote isa true Westerner and typifies the independence, the unre- strained Barely and brisk zeal which enters into the heart of him who sights the Rocky Mountains.

Snow is generally preceded by a general animation of man and beast, which continues until the snowfall ends. When the first snow remains on the ground some time in places not exposed to the sun, expect a hard winter. When the snow falls dry, it means to lie; But flakes light and soft she rain oft. Burning wood in winter pops more before snow. When dry leaves rattle on the trees, expect snow. When in the ditch the snow doth lie, ‘Tis waiting for more by and by. It takes three cloudy days to bring a heavy snow. . lf the flakes increase in size a thaw will follow. If there is no snow before January, there will bethe more snow in March and April. In March muca snow, To plants and trees much woe.—German. The more snow the more healthy the season. Heavy snows in winter favor the crops of the following summer. A snow year, a rich year. Snow is the Peon man’s fertilizer, and good crops will follow a winter of heavy snowfall. If much snow be spread on the mountains in winter the season of planting will be made blue with ver- dure. —J::dian. A heavy fall of snow indicates a year for crops, and a light fall the re- verse. Much sleet ia winter will be followed by a good fruit year.—Boston Journal. — + A physician of large experience re- marked the other day that when he be- gan the practice of medicine he was Worried because people put so little con- fidence in him, and now he was troub- led because they trusted his judgment so implicitly.
