Heretofore we have always regarded cabins as perfectly safe, even when left un­locked for any length of time, and regret that there is the slightest indication of a change from these good old times.—Husbandman.

Commemorative Refainrlcs of c ilief Jns- *lee Wade at the M emorial Services

of the .V. F Church Sunday School.

I come with a full heart to join in these memorial exercises. Oliver B. Toole, our friend, has passed out of sight, and only the memory of his life remains. In the sanctuary of home aud around its sacred altar ; at the Bar, where he was lately admitted to practice his profession ; in the Sunday School, where he was loved ; and in the social circle that he adorned, there is a vacant place, and only the silence of death speaks of him who is gone. Yet this silent teacher utters a language that cannot be mistaken, and which all can un­derstand. It tells of a young man who, though a comparative stranger to this com­munity, had by his upright character, by his sparkling intellect and intelligence, by his genial kindness and gentlemanly conduct, by bis patient industry and applicatiou, won the respect of the people and the love of his companions ; and, though cut down at the threshold of his career, which was full of promise, left the impress of his life upon the world. And if the value of life is to be meas­ured by its achievements, then our friend did not live in vain. He hewed out for himself a good name ; he built up a spotless character, and died regretted by all who knew him. This, indeed, is an invaluable legacy to leave behind for the consolation of those who mourn his untimely loss. And especially do his voiceless remains speak to the young and admonish them of the priceless value of a good character, of the nobility of virtue, of the charm of an unsullied name, of the ma­jestic power of kindness, of the wrortb of true manhood, and of the success that alw’ays attend unwearied industry and application.It teaches that the length of years does not measure the value of life, but that he lives most and best who best employs his faculties and powers. And if we would heed this sa­cred, silent lesson, we will learn the value of time, the power of a kind word, the excel­lence of patient industry, aud the majestic strength and influence of an honest man.

Our friend at the age of twenty-two, after years of study and thought, had acquired a learned profession and was ready to enter upon its practice with a character staunch and steady to guide him along the pathway of life. Think of it, young men, you who are idling away your time in trivial amuse­ments or vicious pleasures ; think of it, you who are neglecting the seed time, aud con­template the utter barrenness and desolation that necessarily follows as old age comes creeping on ; think of it, you who are sowing the seeds of vice aud sin, to reap the inevi­table harvest of degradation and misery ; think what poverty you would leave behind if death should overtake you without a char­acter, with adishonored|name,with no memory of a noble achievement remaining, with no friend to do you reverenee, unhonored and unsung. Better a thousand times never to have been born than to transmit such a legacy to the world.

Contemplating the character of our de­parted friend, and looking backward to the time when that character was formed, I see his loving parents during the period of his infancy and youth, guiding his every foot­step, directing every thought, cultivating every virtue, and checking every evil desire, until they formed a character of integrity and purity, and thus armed and equipped for the great warfare, with confidence and trust, they send him from the paternal roof to engage in the battle of life. And thus he comes to us with his armor on, and we are here to-night to commemorate his virtues, to mourn his loss, and to gather lessons from the life so richly endowed.

I thank my Maker that humanity is so en­nobled, so exalted, and so godlike that it can sympathize with those who mourn ; that it can sorrow with those in distress, and that it can weep with those who weep. But I know that words of sympathy and affection are cold and cheerless to the heart rent with anguish. When the stricken mourn er can see naught but—

“A wintery blast and a wintry heart,Where chill winds shiver and moan ;

Where the yellow leaves Are the only sheaves,And the mocking stars From their dusky bars

Look down upon the gloom alone,"—

then the kind offices of affection and love ore unavailing to heal the wound or to bring con­solation.

A stranger to them and far away, I can but extend to his aged parents, who mourn their youngest born, the best sympathy of my heart, and to his brothers here, whom I know and love, I bring words of consolation and hope. The young life they have laid away, and the brother who has gone from their sight, will ever be and remain with "a and of them, forming a paît of their being and directing their lives. His voice will be heard in the silence of the night and in the throng of the day, and whatever may befall they will ever be reminded that they have a treas­ure beyond the stars.

The memory of the good is an inheritance. It is a bountiful legacy, that comes alike to all. Silently and grandly as the sunlight falls upon the earth, so does the influence of the good permeate the whole world. From every hallowed grave where sleep the just, there comes a voice echoing through the air and awakening an approving response to every human soul, declaring that if we would reach that Paradise where the wicked cease from troubling and tiie weary are at rest, we must lead spotless lives, guiding our wayward

wandering feet by the light of honesty, truth, and righteousness.

Friend after friend depart ; they put on the garments of a higher and a better life, but the busks they leave behind them feed our hungering souls and around every hearthstone and every home their voices are heard in the silence of the evening hour and in the glory of the morning light speaking to us words of faith, hope and trust, reminding us that it is not all of life to live nor all of death to die. And so every home where men have lived and died becomes a treasure bouse in which are gathered the heirlooms of humanity, transmitted from age to age, living forever and forever, and crowning this mortal with the pomise of immortality. These are the liuks in the golden chain that bind the eternity of the pastwith the present and the hallowedfuture ; these are the loadstones that bind the earth together, uniting the children of men in a common brotherhood : These are the tireless eyes that look from earth to heaven. And so every earthly home efful­gent and radient with the associations of life, echoing the voices of the loved and the lost, and in whose recesses are treasured the sacred tokens and remembrance of the dear departed, is but the shadowy picture and prophetic representation of that home not made with hands eternal in the heavens, where the children of humanity rest in the many mansions of the Father’s house and find happiness and repose.

In every age and in every country poor humanity, however fallen and degraded, however ignorant or debased, has ever erect­ed monuments and mementoes to the dead and these memorials, whether simple and rude or grand and imposing, always attest the noblest attribute of human nature. They belong to man alone and make him kith and kindred to something better than himself. They are tributes to the life that has faded out of sight, and give promise of that hap­pier life to come where the immature brauch broken here buds and blooms in a better climate ; where the immature mind and the unsatisfied thirstings and longings for knowl­edge ripen and mature in an endles growth ; where the undeveloped capacities of the in­tellect and the heart enter upon a career of unending progress untili the puny child cry­ing in the darkness emerges into the sunlight of truth and walks in the shadow of the

internal.So may it be with our friend.

_____ ■» .« ►►Black f eet Agency.

The annuities for the Indians belonging to this agency were distributed on the 4th and 5th inst. A large number of Indians were present, and the vicinity of the agency pre­sented a very animated appearance. Just previous to the distribution, a council of the tribe was held, and White Calf was formally elected to the position of head chief, made vacant by the death of Little Plume. Gener­ous Woman is now second chief of the na­tion. Captain Sanno, 7th Infantry, superin­tended the distribution of the annuities.

The Fair.

The Second Annual Fair of Missoula coun­tv commenced last Thursday. The first day was stormy, and races and other proceedings were adjourned to the next day, running the Fair into Monday of this week. The at­tendance was not as good as it was last year, and tint receipts were barely sufficient to pay the premiums and purses. The exhibition in the stock department and agricultural pro­ducts was very meagre for a county which is reputed to be the richest agricultural and stockgrowing one in the Territory. But take it all in all, the last Fair gave evidence that the penple of this region intend that it shall be one of the permanent institutions of the county; and we have no disposition to say aught at this time that shall not add to its ex­cellence.—MissouUan.

Salm on C it y , Idaho, Oct. 15, 1877.To the Editor of the Herald:

Now that the Nez Perces are in custody and no further trouble is to be apprehended from them, it seems that some are pleading for their lives, by showing how lienent and good they were to those captured by them ; that it is a pity to sacrifice the life of so noble and good a man as Joseph, etc.

Now, let us look at their good acts and judge for ourselves. And in so doing we will only enumerate such as we know are actually so. The number of victims up to the time they came into Bitter Root \ alley were 200. All the women that fell into their hands were outraged. This is a fact, and in many instances too fiendish to publish and

Further Newa from tbe Famous Explorer

The Department of State is in receipt of two dispatches, dated August 30 and Septem­ber 1, from the United States commercial agent at Gaboon, giving further information concerning Stanley and his party. The first dispatch gives the news, per merchant steamer just arrived in the Gaboon, of Stanley’s ar­rival on the west coast of Africa, from Zam- zitar, on the east coast, with other particulars which have already been given to the public.

The second dispatch contains copies of the two last letters written by Stanley to gentle­men at lmboma, who, as will be seen, came to the relief of his party iu the very nick of time. The first letter, dated Village of Nis- ana, August 5, 1877, recounts their arrival— 115 men, women and children—at that placemany lusidiJLts utiiuiou ig puuuou * . , , , , ,, , . . . ,

New York Ilerald. All of these victims have reason to be thankful for the kindness shown them ! The men were shot down like dogs wherever found. Some were disarmed, then shot. Certainly, this is humanity /

Look at the victims on Horse Prairie— Montague, Smith, Cooper, Farnsworth and Flynn. All these murders were done through the goodness of Chief Joseph, and it reminds me ot the acts of Brigham Young—goodness or Blood Atonement. I am informed by par­ties who were present, that they said to Cooper, “Come out here, we won’t hurt you.” Whereupon he threw off his cartridge belt, laid down his gun, and went to them. They shot him down on the spot, completely filling his body with buckshot. Oh, how kind and lenient! Surely, such good people should not be punished !

Next we come to the Junction. There they did not kill any one, simply because they could not. Had it not been for the fort there is no doubt that every one would have been murdered.

Then comes Birch Creek. They made the freighters cook until the Indians were satis­fied; then disarmed and murdered them. Parties who buried tbe bodies say they never saw such mutilation, and that it was almost impossible to recognize them. I have in my possession a piece of gunstock with Hayden’s hair still clinging to it, and the barrel of the gun was lying on the body, bent from the blows on bis head, and the skull was smashed to a jelly.

There are other acts of kindness on the part of Joseph. The Yellowstone party is an example of their goodness; shooting and beating them over the head and leaving them for dead.

All these acts are justifiable on the part of Joseph and his followers. Surely he ought not to be punished! LEMHI.

[From the Missouiian, 19th inst.]Lieut. E. W. Cook, 3d Infantry, is to be

Quartermaster at the post instead of Lieut. Johnson, who goes to his station at Fort Shaw.

Companies B, H, I and K, 3d Infantry, under Capt. Penrose, left Cerinne on the 4th inst. for Missoula, via Ryan’s station and Deer Lodge, and are expected here by the 1st of November.

Mr. Kirkendall is still hauling logs and lumber for the new post, and is doing so well that the officers have promoted him from the ranks he earned in the Big Hole fight, to that of Colonel. Hereafter we shall tip our hats to Col. Kirkendall.

The Indian who was well known in this region as “ Poker Joe,” has been a sort of leader among the Nez Perces since the Big Hole battle. His name is Joe Hale. He bas directed the movements of tbe camp, and conducted all negotiations with the enemy. Those who have been in the Nez Perces camp have been led to believe that he was the Simon Pure Joseph.

T. J. Demers returned from an extended trip to Manitoba and Canada last Sunday. He had a contract for supplying beef at the posts in Manitoba, and found on his arrival that his contract had been sold out to some other fellow. He threw the diamond hitch on the agent, and lifted him, filled his con­tract anâ returned. He passed the four com­panies destined for ibis county on the road from Corinne, and speaks highly of them as a fine lot of men.

—It is reported that certain parties are ne­gotiating for the purchase ot a lot* on Main street with the design of building a first-class hotel. It is to be four stories high and will cover more ground than the old International hotel that was destroyed by fire a few years

purchase no provisions from tbe natives ; that, in fact, there were no provisions iu the country ; that the starvation of the entire party was imminent, and that unless relief was soon received they would all perish.

The second letter, herewith given, gives a most graphic account of the timely arrival of provisions, and feast in the desert :

Banyamkoka, two marches from I mboma, ( August 8, 1871. f

Messrs. Motta Vya and J. M. Harnson, Im-boma, Congo Hiver :Gentlemen : I have received your very

welcome letter, but better than all and more welcome, your supplies. I am unable to ex­press just at present how grateful I feel. We are all so overjoyed and confused at our emo­tions at the sight of the stores exposed to our hungry eyes ; at the sight of the rice, the fish, the rum, and for me. What ! bread, butter, sardines, jam, peaches and beer! The gods, just think, three bottles of pale ale! besides tea and sugar.

We cannot restrain ourselves from falling to and enjoying this bounteous store, so that I beg you will charge our apparent want of thankfulness to our greediness. If we do not thank sufficiently in word», rest assured we feel what volumes cannot describe. For tbe next twenty-four hours we shall be too busy eating to think much of anything else. But I may say that the people cry out, while their mouths are full of rice and fish, “Verily our Master has fouud the sea and his brothers; but we did not believe him until he showed us the rice and the rum! We did not believe there was any end to the great river (Congo) ; but, God be praised forever, we shall see white meu to-morrowT, and our wars aud troubles will be over!”

Dear sirs, though strangers, I hope we shall be great friends, and it will be the study of my life to remember my feelings of grate­fulness when I first caught sight of your sup­plies, and my poor, faithful and brave peo­ple cried out : “Master, we are saved ; foodis coming!” And the old and the young, the men, women and children, lifted up their wearied,worn out frames and began to chant out lustily an extemporaneous song m honor of the white people by the sea (the Atlantic) who had listened to their prayers. I had to- rush to my tent to hide the tears that would flow' despite all my attempts at composure.

Gentlemeu, may the blessings of God at­tend your footsteps whithersoever you may go, is the very earnest prayer of

Yours, verv faithfully,H. M. STANLEY.
