SHOOTING OF BAcKUs THE MINSTREL
The Virginia Trespass furnishes the follow
ing piece of intelligence:
Most everybody who lived III Virginia in
early days must well remember Charley
Backus, the famous San Francisco minstrel,
who with Wells, Birch, Wambold, Abecco
and others, made melodeon company never
equaled. Backu. was obese, healthy, and
his generous blood in the old alkali days was
frequently too lively for his natural virtue.
Years do not seem to have effected any ma
,erial change, for on the 10th of December
last, it seems that Backus had shooting, as
follows: d" George Cooke, the actor (who
appears on the bills as George Davenport),
shot at Charles Backus, negro minstrel,
in Broadway, between Prince and Houston
streets, New York. 1t is alleged that the
cause of the ARRAY was an intimacy which it
is said exists between Backus and Daven-
ports wife-the we'll known actress, Kate
Newton The affair occurred at the Metro
politan Hotel. Backus received Sigh:
flesh wound in the side-not enough, how
ever, to incapacitate him from appearing in
q portion of the evenings performance at
the San Francisco Minstrel Hall.

The CHAMPION BILLIARD MATCH IN
VIRGINIA CITY.-Winnie Wright and Tip
Orndortf's game for the championship OF
Nevada came off on Monday night and was
won by Wright. The game was l 800 points
for $500. Wright got the balls in the corner,
"nursed' them and won the game by so
doing. We believe the Eastern players debar
this nursing process and require shots
around the table to be played instead.
The Enterprises account of the game con-
cludes as follows:
wright's average was IL Orndorff's Is
1920. A large amount of money changed
hands upon the result among outsiders, as
betting has been quite brisk for some days.
The ladies and all present watched the game
with great interest, and at times particularly
brilliant shot elected hearty applause from
the whole audience. Virginia still holds the
cue, subject to challenge from any billiard
player in the State by giving thirty days
notice. Who will be the next TO go after it

EXTENSIVE TRLEaRAPnING.-A few days
ago the telegraph operators at Houston,
Texas, took notion to have talk with the
boys up North, They switched through
by way of New Orleans, New York, Buffalo,
Chicago, Omaha, and away up into Mon
tana, and finally connected with Salt Lake.
Messages passed freely over more than six
thousand miles of wire. That may be set
down as decidedly long talk.

WAsHoE LAKE FRozEN.-Says the Tres
pass of Monday evening:
Col. I. B. Schamp, of Ophir, informs us
that the sleighing on the Ophir Grade is
most excellent. The lake is frozen to an
unusal depth, and the ice is of sufficient
strength to bear the heaviest quartz teams,
which now cross directly from the east to
the southwest shore, hauling full loads of
ore to Dall's mill. For at least six miles,
the lake is smooth and solid. and fine
place to enjoy ride and try the speed of
blooded horses. Unfortunately. the recent
snow rendered skating out of the question !;
but sleighing is excellent.

induce them to forego the use Of
military power for seizing and
holding the government, if they
can command that violent expe-
dent; and they hope that they can
command it at the hands of Cen

ton which they formed with him
in the outset of the impeachment
scheme. But can they depend
either upon the disposition on the
