Filial Affection of the Afukk dkfs. — In our recent hill warfare w th the Afreedees, we have been utilizing some of the native local population for subordinate garr son duty at the hill forts. Ti ose locals love fig ting; that is their cnicf reason for assailing us ; and if they can be found employ men to fight for us for money, they prefer it to fihting against us for love. An officer on duty a' a fort pointed out to a sentry a particular native that had been skulking rouud the fort all day, evidently wit. no good in fect. "I see him, sar," said the sen ry; "I ' ad two shot at him already, but "e dam hard to hit; he hardest mnsto hi know!” "Oh ! you know him, then, do you ?” asked the officer. "Oh, yes, sar, I kuow the dam rascal well; I been trying to shoot mm all t ; ,e week” "Who is ho? AY at's ' is name?" “T e dam old rascal he my father.” —London Examiner. Jilt k’* Hcl.

Nearly every resident of Mon tana has either seen or heard ot the famous Bear Tooth Mountain, the most prominent landmark in Nort h era M mtana. It is visible from dif ferent points; at a distance ranging from forty to sixty miles, and is in full view from Helena and the sur rounding country. The mountain is distant about thir y mdes from Helena, and stands like a grim and mighty sentinel at the end| of the canyon known as t 1 e Gate ot the Mountains, through which flows the Missouri river. The Bear Tooth was described as a wonderfull landmark of the early explorers, Lewis and Clark In all photographs of the northern country the two tusks, ris- ; iog black and grim hundreds of feet above the mountain, are the promi nent objects. The main tusk re mains, looking lonely and isolated in Its grandeur. We a: e indebted to Judge Ililger, woo met the hunters referred to be lt, w, for the following particulars in referrence to the fall of the smallest of the two prongs; Last Monday a party of hunters who were chasing game several miles north of the Bear Tooth, observed a rumbling sound and a quaking of the earth, and sup poring it was an earthquake, and not noticing a repetition of it, they soon forget th. occurence and continued their chase until they reached the Bear’s Tooth. Here they were as tonished by the appearance of the eastern tusk. This was a pependic ulur mass of rock aud earth, fully five hundeed feet high, three hundred feet in circumference at its base, and about one hundred and fifty feet at the top. This immence mass had becomo’dislodged, and coming down with the speed of an avalanche, had swept through a forest of large tim be. for a quarter of a mile, entirely 1 -aying it The country around ia now covered with a grent mass of rocks, many of them as large an an ordinary house. A Stance Tkai ition. —Among the Seminole Indians t >?re is a tradition regarding the white man's origin and superiorl y. The,, say wen the Great Spiri made the earth he also made three men, all of whom were fair comptexioned, and that after making them, he led to the margin of a small lake, and bade them leap in and wash. One obeyed, and came out purer and fairer than before; the second hesitated a moment dur ng which time tut water, agitated by the first bad become mudded, aud waen he bathed, he came up copner colored; the third did not leap until the water became black with mud aud he came out With I is own color. Then the Great Spirit laid before them three packages, and out o! pity for his misfortune in olor, gave tin* black man t- e first choice. He took hold of each of the packages, and Having felt the weight c- ose the l heaviest; the copper colored man chose the next heaviest; leaving the white man the lightest. W hen the packages were opened t' e first was found to con ain spades hoes, and all the implements of labor; t e sec ond enwrapped hun'ing, fishing, and warlike apparatus; the third gave I the white man pens, ink, paper, the engine of the mind—the means of mutual, mental improvement, t' e so cial lmk of humanity, the foundation ; of th" white man’s superiority. A story is told of an editor who died, went to cavcn, and was de nied, adini tance lest he should meet s< me delinquent subscriber, and bad feeling would be engendered in that peaceful clime. Having to go to some place, the editor next appeared iu the regions of darkness, but was positively refused admittance, as the place was full of delinquent suhscrib ers. Warily the editor turned back toward the celes ial 0 ty, and was met by the watchman of the portals with a smi'e, who said: “I was mis taken ; you can enter, there are no delinquent subscribers in Mtaven.” “The reason why I don’t love my big sis,” said a boy at school, “is that when she expec’s her beau, she gets water, sand, cobs and sembing brushes, and goes th rough me like I was an old brass kettle."
