Font Rominsow, Neb, May 8.—Special Correspondence of Tie Brr.—'"A most in- teresting relic of early days in the northwest bas been discovered by Mr. Charles D Grifith, of Montana, while prospecting at the head of Belt canyon. He discovered a stout pillar of stone round which was clamped a sheet of copper bearing an impros- sion of the arms of France under the Bour- bons, The Montana Historical society is about to take steps for the possession and care of the metal plate which Mr. Griffith did not disturb. A member of that association suggests that this must have been placed where it was found by the French explorer, Verendrye, who took possession of all the lands 10 the name of the French king in 1743, in the belief that he had come to the head waters of the Missouri, though in reality he was following the Yellowstone. The Sioux massacred most of his party, and Verendrye's account was supposed to be chiefly fabulous, but it is now ascertained that he really did what he claimed to have done, and that he was the first white man who ever planted his 100t on the soil of Montana.” I read the above editorial in the columns of TiE Bee a short time ago and it called up a remembrance of a search made while living in Montana into the carly history of that territory. This was a long time ago, but the mat- ter will be none the less interesting now that the “‘Land of Mountains™ isto became a state. According to the data T have the earliest tradition of white men in Mo n tana dates back to 1743 when two Frenchmen named La Verendrye, with a party of ten countrymen came from the Lake of the Woods in themorth, to eaplore the Rocky mountains and fell in with the Snake Indians on the Wind viver in what is now Wyoming terri- tory. La Verendrye and his brother were the sons of the chavalier Veren- drye, who was sent in 1731 by Charles de Beauharnois, then governor general of Canada, to explore the country about Rainy lake d to be the head of the Missouri river, and if possible push on #nd ascend the Shining or Rocky mountains heard of for the first time in 1728, The Frenchman reached the great mountaing and ascended them, bat could go no further south than ‘Wind river on account of a great w: raging between the Snakes, Arricarees dand Sans Arcs. On the 19th of May 1744, they returned to the upper Mis- souri and in tne Cheroke Cherry coun- try on an eminence planted a copper plate of the arms of France and raised a monument of stone which they called Beanharnois and then returned to the Lake of the Woods July 2, 1744, The explorations of the Venendrye brothers in the ted States were much more extensive and important than they have ever been accredited with in history. Tt appears they started with fifty men from Montreal in 173I, and in the au- tumn of that year reached the Rainy Lake by the Nantowagan river, now celled the Pigeon river. At the foot of Rainy 1 ke afort was erected and called Fort St. Pierre. The next year they crossed to Lake of the Woods and es- tablished Fort St. Charles on its south- stern bunk. Five leagues from Lake Winnipeg they ostublished a post on the Assiniboine. Here they met a band of Indians who calicd chemselves As- siniboiues and suid they were a band of Dakota’s, and lived by netting fish which, for want of fuel they cooked by warming water with ston A Jesuit eccount of them written over two hun- dred yeurs ago, says: “As wood is very gcarce and small with them nature has taught them to burn stone 1n place of it and to cover their wigwams with the skins of mals. Some of these have built cabins nearly in the same manne swallows build their nests.” The aboy statement is made only for the purpose of correcting it, as it has often been serted and applied to nu' Snakes well us the siniboines. Th was not a lack of fuel which ecause n\ them to boil their nsh by putting hot stones in the water, but a lack of ves- sels that would stand five, Almost all *he savage trit before their contract with the whites, often cooked their llsh r game by putting it into water-tight caskets or troughs and then put fine hot stones into the water until it boiled. As to wood heing scarce and small with them nature had taught them to burn stone in place of it. Most proba- bly the ervor arose from wur practice of their hereditary encmies, the Chip- powas, Watching at a distance and seeing the Assiniboines gather some- thing on the naked prairie which looked like stone and making a fire with them. What they gathered must have betn buffalo-chips, which are still somotimes used by the Assiniboines for fuel. In the distance tho white cake of droppings of the buffalo looked very much like stone, and are ofton used by our soldiers for cooking purposes. make a hot fire, and are h\dt daver, good substitute for work heredi- l..'ny ulmmn's of the Assiniboinc the Chippe lived in a tizbered coun- try, knew nothing about the use of buf- fa m-hips. and it was probably this tribe who told the Jesuits the Assiniboines burned stone. 1t was in October, 1788, the Veren- dryes built Fort La Roine, and ini1742 reached the country of the Montunes (Mandans), on the upper Missouri. Ac- cording to the hest authorities they started from Fort La RReine, on the As- siniboine river, went up the Mouse river in a southerly divection, then crossed o to the Missour a little be- low whore Fort Berthold now stands. From this point they ascended the viver as fur ns the Gutes of the Mountains, where the Missouri breaks through lh-, belt range at Helena, Here they as- cended the Shining mountains on the the 1st of January, These were uudoubtedly the first white men ever in this part of the count From the Mountain Gates they pussad up Deep or Bmith’s viver and over to the head of the Musselshell, aud from there south to the YVellowstone, crossing ivat what is wow the mouth of lx_,uru river. W'rey followed up I'ryor through the gap to the Stinking Water, which they erossed, nnd ntinuing on south, came wild ani- mud » 4 piaeny the Snake Indinny, on Wierd river, who told them they would be killed if they tried to go furiher south, because war parties of the Sans Arcs band of Siouxs, the enemies of the Bnalies, wero always watching about the South Pass to kill and plunder them as thoy pussed to and from Green piver, whore lived snother bacd of the Snake tribe. The Indians hem tha tno the east side of the River mountains there wns called Haie-go, snnke language means They also told them th branch of their tribe Shah-gove-bit, or G r, and was 80 named from the color ul its waters, At Wind river the explorers turned back, and on the 19th of May, 1744, they had returned to the upper Missouri and at the fork near the mouth of the Jeffer- son they planted on an eminence, as be- fore stated, a copper plate of the arms of France, and raised a monument of etone as a token that they would claim informed Wimd a river which in the modern “Tongur.” the country they had visited for the king of France. They were about one year in making their southern trip, and although their route going south is per- fectly described, there is no mention made in the records to show which way they returned, but they probably came back the way they went. After erecting their cross and monument and ming the country for their king they descendec » Mi souri in a boat to where th struck it and thence journey by ‘way Mouse river and the Assiniboine to the Lake of the Woods, where th rived on the 24 day of July, 1744, full account in the near Benton, around which the French voyngers portaged their boats.

There were thirteen villages on the Missouri, and they stretched from Kuife river up to the Falls. On the Shell river (Musselshell) lhcrc were three villages of **Panis,”’ probably Pawnees, some of whom were white, others freckled, and others black "The explorers had been told by In- dians that the head of the Missouri flowed from a great luke, and that the Shining mountains were full of goid.

A few days aftel a party of five of the Canadian voyagers disc red the dead bodies of their scalped and mutilated comrades. Father Dunean, the missionary, was found upon one Knee, an arvow 'in his head, his breast bare, his left hand touching the ground and his right hand raised to heaven. Among the slaughtered on this oc- casion was a young son of Verendrye, who had a tomahawk in his back and his body was adorned with garters and bracelets of porcupine quills, The father was atthe Lake of the Woods when he heard the sad news of the death of his son, and about the same time re- ceived information of the death of his nephew, Juveray, the son of his sister, Marie Varouner. This young man was the brother of Madam Yourville, who afterwards founded the hospitaliers of Montreal, being greatly moved to piety by the sud death of her brother.

Beauharnois was succeeded as governor of Canada | by Galissonere, who was a great lover of science, especially anxious to push the French ‘discoveries toward the Pacific ocean. This man, though deformed and insignificent in appearance was able, fair-minded, and had the justice to restore the elder Verendrye to the command from which he had been deposed by Beauharnoi Pierre Verendrye was made o capta of the Order of St. 1 and was di- rected to resume his ex botany, and was west.

Much Merriment and Excitemen Created by a Feathered Biped. The other day a New York Sun man, passing along ove of tha busy thorough- fares of Brooklyn, suddenly he: great uproar behind him, anhd, turning to ascertain the cause, saw a huge Shanghai rooster running up the street followed by a man in shirt sleeves,bave- headed, anc armed with a broom, who in turn followea by a howling crowd. It seems the rooster h in some way destroved a dozen egrg: 80 exasperated the man that the fi thing handy, which broom, and started to was the annihilate the fowl. his proved to be a difficult task. The bird was a knowing one and fleet of foot. On came the and flapping its wings, aarting hither and thither between the legs of pedes- trians, under carriages and wagons,now on one side, now on the other.and again in the middle of thestreet, all the white followed by the m his face tlushed with anger and exertion and dripping with perspiration, making desperate blows at the rooster, but never hitting him, which hn-lhvr enraged the man and increased the hilarity of the crowd. This state of affairs continued for some time,the man becoming quite exhausted. The crowd increased and countinued to guy him until, driven half crazy by their taunts, he aguin rushed for the look on his face which plainly indicated that he would do it this time. But the With loud wings it sailed through alighted on one of the the elevated road ov tha crowd setup a roa ome one sug- gested that the pursuer climb up one of the uprights and dislodge the bird, but he didn’t take thehint. The rooster commenced to crow lustily, and strutted about, evidentiy highly pleased with himself. But his time of peace was short lived. A train just then came along, and as the locomotive got near the rooster the engineer blew the whistle. To hear the whistle of an elevated locomotive is a rare thing, but this engineer took in the situation and blew his whistle. The effect on the rooster was starthing. 1t dropped to the ground as if shot, and went running down the strect hotly pursued by the man and the crowd. At a crossing the rooster met with a youth, the son of its owner, armed with a rope. with which he t 1 tolasso the fowl, but he did not succeed, the bird being too quick for him,and continued its flight down the street, At this time a policoman came upon the scene and asked the owner of the bird what the trouble was. *‘That —— stole a dozen eggs from me,” said the man, pointing down the street. The policeman, seeing the youth running, said, ‘'He did, did he? "All right,” and started at a break neck pace after the youtn. After a run of u couple of locks the officer caught the youth and hustled him off to the station house. The father of the boy with the crowd at his heels, coming up with them. and seeing the phght in which his son was ' placed, began explaining and arguing chick was not tobe done, clucking and flapping of the air and s beams of rhead, whereat with the officer, who was finally induced to release the boy. In the meantime the rooster had made its escape. K o PEAIIS’f-Ths Great English Pears Soap air white hands; Brightclear complexion Sof’t healthful skin. Complexion SOAP,~Sold Evsm.'
