The Above goes to prove tho virtue of tho charm. "NIerigusPujus." BY MAIIIE n. WILLIAMS. My friend Mrs. L lost her cook n short time ago; anil becamo a frequent visitor at the Intelligence oflico. Black, brown, betwixt and betwcen'prcscntcd themselves, but (hero was always some dilliculty in tho way of an en gagement. Either tho cooks had babies which "jthe- expected-to bring with them and as easy gpjngai'Mrt. L is, she draws tho line at jdiics in a kitchen or they wanted Saturday afternoon and Sundays for them selves. - "Sundays, at least from breakfast time, I'm Willing to givo," said Mrs. h , "but how do thoso creatures expect to got our Sunday dinner ready whenthoy flaunt of!' Saturday at noon No, I pay higher wagm than most do In town, and I will not submit to such an im position. I dnro pay I'll havo to go in the kitchen mytclf, nnd stay' hero, and with all tho children's summer clothes to malic, it's going to bo pretty hard. There's that over lasting boll again. Another bitch of imprac ticable demands, I suppose. I'vo the greatest mind to let them ring on until they're rx-haustedl" "This'may reallj-'-iJho lucky time," said next few weeks. Sewing or not, I don't think I can stand that boy a week." "Tho woman looks clean enough, and per haps she can bo made to keep Merigus de cent," I answered. "But what a name it ! Have you any idea what they mean by it is t" "Of course, it's 'Amencus Vespucius.' Didn't ho 'diikiver'the continent of America? This namesake of his certainly appropriates a full sharo of the soil." Mrs. Martin cane, and Merigus made him self endurable. He brought in breakfast and waited on the table in a fashion of his own, snapping his fingers every now and then like castanets, and then standing on ono leg. "What is tho matter with your legs, Meri gus" Hsked Mrs. L . "I 'so got de cramp, mississ." answered he. with a grin, and the cramn recurred often during tho meal. "1 havo a new receipt fir a pudding, said Mrs. L , about noon, "and I think I'll trv it for dinner to-day. Come into tho kitchen and help me." We wcro very busy with our pudding when the bell rang. "It can't be visitors as carlv as this I" cried Mrs. la . "Ou to tho door, Merigus, and if there are ladies, ask them into the parlor." In a few minutes the boy returned, grinning irom ear to car. "Who is it?'' asked Mrs. L . "It's a big ooman with a red face, and a long, lean ono jest as Ir'gh as dat doro. When she walks she crumples herself up like she had destomickache." Mrs. I. raised her hands, and sank in her scat the picture, of distress. "It's tho Van Brunts," groaned she. "They've come on tho morning train. They havo talked f spending a day with me for a long timo, but to come now I And that she shouldhavo been received by him I" pointing to Merigus, who was standing in his favorite attitude on ono leg. "What did you say to them, boy?" i,l axed em to tuck a seat, anil uoy axed mo wos you at homo, and I told 'em vou was in do kitchen." "Who are tho Van Brunts?" I nsked. "Well, thev aro pretentious uconlo. rather vulgar, perhaps, but they livo in a good deal of style, and have a keen eyo for everything that is not en rtnle. I'vo nl wavs pi idea irv- self on having a well-appointed house and tho best of servants; but now" Her eyes turned despairingly upon Mrs. Harriet Martin, who was wrestliiiir with an unruly stove-door, and Merigus, who was Martin was seated with folded arms before the Btove, the very picturo of beaming self complacency. "Hoped you liked de dinner, mistess," sho sjid. "Is you ready for depuddin'? Ho! Merigus, bring de dish." "io, but I am ready for you to pack off in stantly," Mrs. L cried. "You sent that lioy to wait on the table with his bosom full of kittens. They fell on one of the ladies, and oh I how you've disgraced me. Leave here, both of you, and never let me see either of you again. Here's the money due you, and now lie off." Mrs. Harriet Martin arose and swept like a tornado upon Merigus. Sho shook him till his teeth clattered, and then boxed him from one end of tho kitchen to the other. "You will kill the boy," I cried. "I don't care ef I docs." she cried, in a lury. "Wen do kitten fell in de pot I told dat owdacious limb to take de oders ousen de yard." "In tho pot," I repeated faintly; but I did not need to ask a question. I knew too well now what tho floating hair signified. I felt such a deadly nausea, that I hurried into the fresh air ond did not witness tho firnl exit of Merigus l'ojus.

Marv. and introdtico vnur- self to thoso people," Mrs. L said implor ingly. "You 8co that I must superintend tho dinner, if wo arc to havo a decent one. Tell them how matters are, and as soon as possible I will como and relievo you." I did not liko this, but was willing to do niiylliiii" to assist my poor friend, who was actualK' trembling with nervous excitement. I felt tills, "being cumbered with much serving" was a greater weakness in so sensible a woman as Mrs. I, , but I could under stand that withsticli servants, a dinner weighs heavily on any housekeeper's mind. I introduced uijsclf and was treated to a stony glare from Mrs. Vim Brunt's fishy grey eyes, ono nnd ltuvcr Heard my name huloru nnd evidently did not know exactly how to tieat me. I "Mi's.

"Do roast chicken is cookiii' beautiful, and do soup is lilliu away.

Montana, as its name imports, is a country of mountains, this being also tho moaning of its orginal Indian name, and the name is ap propriate enough. Not that this region is, as a whole, greatly elevated (its mean altitude being less than 4,000 feet), but because of tho several long aud lofty mountain chains that traverso parts of it. First, wo have the main ridge of thojlocky mountains running across tho western portain of tho Territory in a north, northwestern direction, with tho Cceur d Aleno and Bitter Root ranges still further to the west, and forming tho boundry between Idaho aud Montana. In th northern part of the Territory aro the Bear Paw and the Little Iiocky chains ; in the central, tho Snow, Ju dith and Bull mountains, and in tho south and southeast tho Big Horn, Wolf and Powder Ilivcr ranges. While these constitute the principal mountains in the Territory, varying in height from 7,000 to 11,000 feet, there are many others of less altitude aud length. Of the cntiro area of mountains, amounting to about 100,000,000 acres, fully one-fifth con sists of mountains, some of them ragged and precipitous, while others are of such gentle acclivity that wagons can be taken over with out much trouble. Through tho disposition of these mountain ranges thero is formed a series of great de pressions or natural basins, four of which, omitting others of less extent, lio so tho east and ono to tho west of tho main Iiocky moun tains. I hese basins, which aro covered with bunch grass and a scattering of wild sage, contain much pood fanning land, especially along tho numerous creeks that, descending irom ute neiglilioring mountains, supply them an abundance of water for irrigation and other purposes. Hero tho fanners and tho stock-raisers havo their homes horses, sheep and cattle feeding by thousands on tho natu ral pasturogo that covers the foothills and valleys aliko. Coursing centrally through theso broad plainliko valleys aro large streams fonned from innumerable mountain tributaries, all flowing northward and eastward into tho Ycl- lowstono and Missouri, or westward into the Columbia, Montana having no direct drainage towards tho south. Her dydrographio system has no connection with that of Utah and Nevada, which drains wholly to tho south, or collects its waters into lakes having no out lets. Montana never having lwen covered by tho great interior seas that during Pliocene times submerged tho southern neighbors, is now without thoso sinks, alkali flats and other salino subsiding waters of tho ancient sea. hilo theso her neighliors, Idaho and Wyoming included, aro without n mile of navigable rivers, tho Missouri and it's branches open navlgablo channels for nearly two thou sand miles within tho lwundaries of Montana, tno i ellowstono being also navigable for sev eral hundred miles. While there aro many small lakes in tho Tenitoiy, there aro nono of largo sire, the Flat Head, tho most extensive lieing only about 33 miles long and 10 or 12 wide. Taken as a whole, however, Montana may bo considered ono of tho best watered countries iu tho far Wests but. whilu such ia the case, it is by no means a rainy country, liko Oregon and Northern C.ilifor ,ia. So far ns actual rainfall is concerned, TUB CLIMATE May, iu fact, 1h considered rather a dry ono. The anuu.ll precipitation is abundant, euuiva- leut to J.l inches of water, but it occurs mostly ju thu form tif snow, which falling to a great depth on tho higher mountains, keeps tho streams well lepleuished thiongliout thu sum nier. In tho mouth of Juno some rain falls enough usually to keep the grass and grain giiiw iug, ami greatly diminish the need for irrigation. While the mercury, at all consul erable altitudes, falls pretty low iu tho w inter, tho cold here is not so intensoas would geuer ally lie inferred from tho geographical positiou of tho Territory, situati-il Utwe.ni-44' ami 40 north. But, as Iwfore stated, the mean alti tudo ot the country is not very great, the more thickly settled valleys, and even some of the mining districts, King only between .,uou and ii.uuu teet alwvo sea level. But, as is well known, there am are other conditions Wsidcs elevation and latitude that exeit a mollifying influence on climate, such as natuio of soils, prevailing winds, atmos pheric cunvuts, hot currents, hot springs, etc., and the effect of some of which are felt here in Montana. The waters ef tho Pacific that, heated in der tho equater, pass In a warm stream by Japan, ami, sweeping east -,:l .. ti. ,. .i ........ l ii . ,. iiu .., n.-i iiii iu me couuecnt, carry tho isothermal line for a thousand miles i. . land far to the north, this flow of heated air crossing Washington and Oregon aud spread ing all ner Montana, raising the mean tern", uemtuiv of the atmosphere several degrees. Then there aro many warm spring and great, geysers spouting hot water high into the air, either within or close upon the borders of the Territory, all of which tend to warm tho earth and soften the surroundiug atmosphere. As a result, the Montana winters are more tolerablo than those of New York, lying fur ther south and at much lower altitude. Owing to the dryness and rarity of the atmos phere, the same degree of cold is not so much felt here as in countries cast of the Iiocky mountains, with their piercing winds and ex cessive dampness. So, on the otherhand, the summers here, though warm, are not sultry, nor docs the heat oppress and debilitate ono as in the East, its effects being counteracted by the cool nights that everywhere prevail. The mean annual temperature at Virginia City, 2,824 feet high, where signal service ob servations have been taken for the past nine years, has, during that time, varied but very' little irom 40. llie mercury hero hardly ever goes above 80., nor docs it in tho winter ever fall much below zero, though at Butte City, and in other elevated localities, it drops every winter as low as 30 below zero, and so remains for days at a time. But, as the ground freezes hard and stays so all win ter, and there is but little snow, this extreme cold weather docs not much interfere with business mining, lumbe!ing,buildingandother out-door operations being as actively prose cuted during this season as any other, except in districts lyimg at a considerable altitude. At intervals during tho winter there occurs a warm wind from the west, in local parlance called the "chinook," aud which, blowing for several days at a time, carries off any snow there may be on the ground, though it rarely ever Bpoils the roads by extracting the frost for more than an inch or two below the sur face. In tho valleys o; Montana there is but little cloudy, misty or stormy weather, there being, on an average, nearly 300 fair and over 250 days of perfect sunshine in tho course of the year,, against 170 fair days in Buffalo and Chicago. The June rains come in the shape of gentle showers rather than violent or pro tracted storms. Thunder and lightning are of rare occurrence, the latter seldom doing any harm. Cyclones, hurricanes and cloud-bursts are little known in this Terri tory; the sand-storm that visits more south ern countries being a stranger here. Montana is a healthy country, thero being nowhere in ifs bordeis any swampy or malarial land, while it has about the proper altitude to in suro an invigorating climate. Notwithstand ing the many fatal accidents incidental to mining operations, the annual death rate does not exceed 12 to 1000. It is a good climate for consumptives, as pulminary diseases, while they do not originate, are often cured hero. Tho complaints most common to the country are rheumatism and mountain fever the latter not at all prevalent. ii, ueicrring lor the present any notice of .Montana'- mineral wealth, wo consider for a moment HKKnKICULTUIIAr. AND (IBAZINO KKSOFRCES, These, it will bo seen, arc of no meau order. As a stock raising country, she is probably the best on the continent certainly tho best in the whole Rocky Mountain region. For this reason stock men began to drive hither their flocks and herds as much as 10 or 12 years ago, bringing in first horses, bought in South era California. Theso thriving so well, sheep and neat cattle were next tried, and with equally good results. Although these first ex periments were conducted on a small scale. Moutana, it is estimated, contains now not less than 60,000 head of horses. 300.000 Wrt of cattle, and about an equal number of sheep. """'"' auimais oi an kinds aro easily kent hero, except swine which require to be fed as there are but few roots and little mast in tho country. The great advantage of this, as a BiocK-rauing country, consists in the fact that horses, Bhcep and cattle are able to sub sist, and, for the most part, keep in good con dition on the native grasses, none but work animals ever receiving either fodder or (bel ter. It is true much stock is lost under this system; but the owners keeping large herds find it most economical, or at least less trou- blcoine, to lose from 10 to 20 per cent, of them every few years than to provide fodder to save them from stirvation. As tho animals are healthy, increase rapidly and require so little care, stock raising has i t ii ... i.een iuuiiu ncro a protltiblo business, tho number of neat cattlo exported from the Ter ritory last year amounting to about 35,000, of ino aggregate value ot fUOO.OOO; tho wool ox ported amouuting to 1,500,000 lbs. Great numbers of cattle, she p and hogs are slaugh tered for homo me. Much butter and cheeso aro 1.U0 made, these,' too, being wholly con smut d in the country. Dairying can bo car nod on hero to advantage, the nutritious graj.es afT.rding an abund.iuce of rich milk. while the pure cold-water, nearly everywhere obtainable, greatly assists in butter making. While the products of tho dairy are dearer fret h meats of all kinds are cheaper hero than in California, the quality of these latter being .rncrniiy j;oo.l. rilUlTS, VrUKTAULES A'I OHAIS Can be raised here, but all require irrigation, fruit trew, of course, only till they get well looted. With the exception of the hardier iii.,, ii .ma, nun, grapes, are a territory may be divided into 40,000,000 acres good grazing and an equal extent of forest lands mostly mountainous, but containing some pastnrage, there being but little absolutely barren land in tho Territory. There occur here none of those arid and treeless deserts, such as occupy the whole southeastern Califor nia and cover large portions of Arizona south ern Idado, Utah and Nevada; and which, though they contain some grass, have a gener ally poor foil and very little water. The troubles againt which the Montana far mer and stockman havo most to contend are the long, cold winters, unseasonable frosts and occasional visits from the grasshopper, which, attacking a certain district, remains there for three or four successive years and then dis appears for a like period, transferring its dep redations to tome other section of the country. The untimely frosts, like tho ravages oi these insects, are apt to be periodical and local. Oregon Railway ami Naviga tion Company. TUTT'S PILLS 8 YM PTORnols"" r TORPID LIVER. back part.
