BLACKFooT MINEs.-A correspondent Of
the Helena GGzcte, writing from Red
Mountain City, Highland Gulch, under date
of March 9th, has the following:
"The Ballarat' is now fully developed by
a tunnel, tapping it at depth Of fifty feet,
exposing crevice twenty'eight feet six
inches in width! It will yield st least $40
per ton, and the owners say they have suffi'
cient quartz in sight to insure them their
fortunes. The owners of the Golconda are
pushing in tunnel to tap it one hundred
and twenty-five feet deep, and are working
night and day. We will be able to report
as to its success inthree weeks. Tho Rod

FROM BLACKFooT.- About quarter Of

been at work during the winter, running a
tunnel iuto the hill--or bar-and from
gentleman who came in from that point, last
Saturday, we learn that they have struck
excellent pay after running 800 feet. They
are now sinking shaft at the head of their
tunnel, and a ditch will be brought in as
soon as spring opens, with a view to work
the whole bar of with a hydraulic. 1t is
supposed to be the same streak which has
heretofore been worked with such rich re-

America and adjacent islands TO the United

gard it as significant of Russian policy in view
of impending European complication on the
Eastern question. Russia cedeS her American
territory for the same reason that induced Ma
poleon TO sell Louisiana. In the event of a war
Russia would probably lose this territory By
parting with it, it secures the friendship Of our
Government. The English representative is
deeply chagrined, 1t is said that Sir Frederick
Bruce will telegraph to Earl Derby for nstruc-
tinus to protest against its acceptance by our
Government The price to be paid for this ter
riory is about 81, 900. The treaty was signed
early this morning and was sent to the Senate

Paris Women.


Dc you think you can know the city of to-
day without going to concerts and balls =?
They are the two wings of It's life, and on
them Paris floats, giddy and delighted. At
the balls you see a succession of frail and
beautiful women. and a crowd Of ignobIe

Women walk under soft lights, amid flow
eTs, with the GOODNESS of fountains and the.
fairy beauty of grott0es, to the sound of
music that puts your senses in a delicious
wh;rl of pleasure or saddens your soul with
strange emotion As they promenade. or
sit down with the air of leisure and the
manner of the life Of elegance, so flexible
and graceful, you must pay homage to the
charm Of their womanliness These women,
Icing beautiful, know it. and they are as
graceful with that consciousness as full
petaled flower swaying on its long stem, and
rihed by the wind. But what fatigue of the
senses is betrayed by most of these fancies-
what mortal sadness under that ripple of
gayety Thatvery sadness gives additional
expression to their faces.
One imperial and pale woman vas dress ed

face cleaned, luminous, like a pearl her

The following we find in the Galveston Bull

Bishops attended, to meet in secret conclave,
exclude reporters, determine on nothing, and
receive the eminent degree of D0ct0rus

this was well enough, if in receiving this
degree, these Bishops had maintained the
dignity Of Americans, and not have con-
formed to the ridiculous notions and parade
Of an English Church University, and robed
themselves in scarlet gowns for the occasion.
Those who were present on the occasion,
were the Bishops Of Tennessee, Ohio, Hi
nois, North Carolina, Iowa, Arkansas and
Pittsburg. The English account says:
Shortly after three o'clock the Vice
