ARRAY WITH Loss OF LIFE.-Last week we
mentioned " disgraceful assault" for which
Mr.. Hamilton was 6ned $50 for an assault upon
Mrs. Hopkins. They had been partners, and,
upon returning home after the trial, the former
commenced breathing threateniugs against Mrs.
Hopkins and her friends, and provoked
counter which terminated in his death. The
circumstances of the affair, as we have learned
them, are as follows Hamilton had become
very abusive at the house, applying to Mrs.
Hopkins all the vile epithets be was master Of,
and said be would not be imposed on by her or
any of her "pimps." A young man named
McAllister, who was engaged to be married to
Mrs. Hopkins daughter, took it up. 1t is not
known which was the assailaut, but long scuf.
le ensued, during which Hamilton struck Meal
lister across the face with heavy bottle, and
afterwards, as they were cliuched, Hamilton was
stabbed in the eye, the blade running upwards
and penetrating some two and half inches into
the brain. Hamilton Immediately became un-
conscious, and died shortly after. McAllister
escaped sue - not been heard nOm slneei ~
though our sheriff vent in nprspit as far as ne
lena, where he formerly lived. The wound, from
its appearance, was made with the blade OF
common jack knife, aud q chance thrust, in such
an encounter, must have directed the blade to
the most vital part of the body. The parties have
resided in this county but short time, Mrs.
Hopkins having lived for the last three years in
Helena. few weeks ago, she and Hamilton
purchased the Warm Spring ranch, five miles
above Gold Greek, which was the scene OF the
late tragedy. Their business relations were not
bappy. as was evinced by the assault and battery
trial last week McAllister is said TO have been
a Young man who has hitherto borne good
character.-Deer Lodge Independent.

the war. Not entering into active service
he was soon discharged and returned, when
he took board with the relatives of the young

and in the course of two or three years the

NEW GALvANIo PILE.-A new galvanie
pile has been constructed with chloride Of
silver, for the negative element, by NJ. N.
Warren de la Rue and Hugo Muller. This
pile, though Ofexceedingly small dimensions,
is extremely powerful. 1t consists Of zinc
rod, which need not be amalgamated, and
ofs thin silver wire coated with a certain
quantity of chloride of silver applied to it
in a state of fusion. This is the negative,
the zinc the positive element. The whole
apparatus is not three inches high. The
liquid used is saturated solution Of ofcsmmon
salt. With ten couples, constructed as
above, ascidula'ed water will be rapidly de
composed. While the apparatus is working,
the solution of salt becomes gradually charg
ed with chloride of zinc, which only serves
to increase the power of the pile +; but care
must be taken to change the solution as
soon as metallic zinc makes its appearance
on the negative element

The PETTIooAT AGE.-The London TeIe-
grdph says: Golden ages, silver ages, ages
of brass, copper, lead, and iron-we have
all these. There was an age of heroes, so
they say also, one when there we're giants
in the land, and one when the earth was
overrun with pygmies. The actual epoch
bids fair to be the woman's age. At all
events, the ladies are evidently determined
to make their presence felt, and seem per-
fectly capable of holding their own. La
pduvre fable femme of Honore de Balzac,
appears well nigh extinct; and Ia femme
sensible which, in French, does not in any
way mean q sensible woman, grows rarer
every day. We have now an instance of
lady's pleading in the Court for divorce and
matrimonial causes. In the case of Ander>
son VS.. Anderson, the wife petitioned for q
dissolution of marriage, on the ground Of
her husbands cruelty and adultery. We
have no desire to tell the lamentable tale /:
its only note worthy feature was that Mrs.
Anderson conducted her own case. Stand>
ing in front of the Queens counsel>table, she
succiDctly and clearly stated the prayer of
her petition, called her witnesses, and gave
her own evidence temperately and clearly
and at last there being no defence, obtained
decree, with costs. The Court-like q
kind hearted gentleman, as the Court usually
is-gave her help in the examination of her
witnesses; but beyond this, the conduct of
the whole case rested on her own shoulders.
Other ladies have, from time W rimv, rna.is-
formal applications to the Bench, and poor
Miss Fray has moved other Courts over and
over again in matters of leatheEand prunella;
but Mrs. Anderson is said to be the first
member Of the fair sex who has conducted
suit to successful issue. Good luck have
thou with thine honor; ride on says the
prophet. Truly, the eneWctusade is beginning

REVELATIONS IN THE WITNESS RooM.-
The Impeachment Managers got more than
they bargained for during a private exami-
nation of witnesses Mr.. Ralph w. Newton,
of New York, was under examination four
and half hours. Thirty>six private kilograms
were read, but nothing elected on which to
base the shadow of corruption. Butler asked
Newton if he had not written a certain letter
to Mr.. Smythe, Collector of New York, and
indicated the contents of the letter referred
to. The witness replied that be habitat
he happened to leave it on the table in his
room, unfolded, and that it was stolen from
there. Who stole it 2 inquired Butler. 1
expect you did, responded Newton. The
witness was put under arrest four times, but
as often liberated. He resolutely persisted iu
refusing to disclose his private affairs, though
answering all questions be could Withoutquite
turning himself inside out Butler read
telegram addressed TO Collector Smythe-
Come on here at once'-signed Newton, and
asked witness what scheme he had in COM
temptation when he penned snch a request.
Newton replied, that he 'felt lonesome, and
wanted Smythe to come along and take
drink, whereupon Butler got indignant and
said the Board of Managers was not to be
triAed with in that fashion. Near the close
of Mr.. Newton's testimony, he was asked
if he had ever known an offer of money
made to the President. He replied with
gravity that he had, and all the Managers
prepared themselves for another article of
Mr.. VIII. Appletua. the
publisher, he said, had come to Washington
four or five weeks ago, and signifed 10 the
President, through Newton, that in case of
his being convicted several gentlemen 10 New
York intended to present him with purse
of 100000 in gold, and that the house of
Mr.. Appleton would be at his service after
he quilted the Executive Mansion. In case
he should be acquitted the sum to be pre-.

The lasgest Advertising Contract Ri ven
out in 1858, and probably tho largest ever
given to one advertising 6rm at one time, is
that Of the proprietors Of Plantation Bitlers
to Csc. P. RowELL / Co., Advertising Agents,
No. 40 Park Row, New York, on the lsth Of
September, for S43,776 96.
Messrs. P, H. Drake 4 Co. have for years
been among the largest, II not the largest,
advertisers in America, and the soutract
mentioned above 10 but a snRli part Of their
expenditure in this way for the present year.
IL is only those Who have tried pri hters' ink
most extensively that are so firmly convinced
Of lie efficacy.
The Advertising Agency which is sending
out this order is another example. Il com
mence6 boslness less than Eve years since,
and the fact that IL now controls a greater
Advertising patronage than any similar es-
tablishnent, is without doubt to be attribu-
ted to their having expended roye money in

Hon. Schuyler COlTax.

This is our final appeal, and we take Ad-
vantage OF our last opportunity to c%onjure
you, that one Of the strongest and most CO.
gent reasons that we can urge for the sup
port of the Republican ticket, is that the
statesman, whose name heads this article, is
upon it. he is one OF the strongest minded
msn in the country, and thoroughly versed in
the Diplomacy of politics and the intricate
economy of government. Here is an intro
duction to his whole character, given by a
lady after he delivered his last speech at the
Cooper Institute in New York. She was ask
ed, "dO you think Schuyler Colfax a great
mani" " never think to enquire" she re-
piled, " because know him to be what the
country requires much more just nsw-a true
and good man, through and through"
He is a politician in the highest sense of
the term, d%evOting the best years of his ac-
tive manhood to political science and the adj
ministratiOn of public affairs. Believing in
the "vO1 POpuli," no has most conscienti-
Ously endeavored to carry out the popular
will. As the Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives Of the United States, he has DIS
that impartiality and honesty, which
has won for him enconinms from his bittsrest
enemies. Political rancor and personal en-
nifty have never dared to sssail and asperse
his spotlsss character, and he seems to have
and suppressed all opposition BY the
of bis name. As much as we love
General Grant, We admire Schuyler COlfa1
lone the less. He win be an ornament to the
as well as a benefit, and his election
be a most deserving recognition Of moral
md political probity, and a patriotism Of the
type.
