A late Indian divorce in Humboldt
is thus recorded by the RegGSter-Indian
Jim has recently been sick, and imag-
ined his wife was the cause thereof. So
Jim wished for dissolution of the mar
riage bonds, and applied to Justice Jake
-"Manda's Jack" as he is called here
to sever the ties that bound him and
his wife together. Jack responded and
accomplished the deed most effectually
and without much ceremony. by taking
the squaw out some little distance and
shooting her, and then burned the body
We understand the proper authorities
are investigating the affair, and will en-
deavor TO prevent recurrence OF such
savage outrages- The Indians say il
is an old established custom among them
and are not disposed 70 have the whites
interfere with their regulations.

THE IMPENDING EXODUS.

The Stockton, Cal, Independent, in an
article reviewing the situation at White
Pine and it's relation to the industries
of California, says:
THE signs are unmistaxable, and it
were folly TO attempt or affect TO ignore
or underrate them. that with the open-
ing of the coming spring there will be
an exodus from California to White
Pine and the adjacent country compared
with which the results of the Gold
Bluff, Frazer and Kern River excite~
ments will dwindle into insignilicance.
1t would not only be unwise and per-
haps ruinous to ignore this inevitable
fact, but it would be equally foolish to
attempt to cur:ail, stay, or circumscribe
within unreasonable limits the tide of
emigration thither."
II is fully as patent that there is a
large flow of immigration from Mons
tana TO the new excitement. greater
than the stampede TO Sun River, Sal>
mon River or Sweetwater. We do not
deem it foolish" to endeavor to cir
cumscribe" il. but useless. One can
argue the folly of drunkenness and
gaming to an old topper or "tiger" tanner
and win concession, but an hour after
he will be in the gutter or stalking his
last chip. So one can hear every day
the admissions of men that they can
give no practical reasons for abandon>
ing Montana for White Pine, yet a
few days after, and they are gone with
the rest. White Pine, if as rich as
reported, will perhaps make a fortune
for one in a hundred and the other
ninety mine will as probably find their
condition no better than here. The
mania for "change"-to "take chances, /"
to "see what the thing is like is the
prevailing characteristic of the reckless
ly adventurous element constituting
more than one-half of the population
OF this western country. They are the
men who discover mines, who build up
towns, who make the big Stakes" f"
and they are those generally who let
il slip through their fingers and die
dollarless. They are the restless ter
riers who make a big commotion in
the herd aud possibly bring the game
to bay, when the steady old bull dogs
take it by the throat and hold fast.
All these elements are as necessary to
preserve the harmonies of frontier life,
as showers and sunshine are in Nature
Montana can better afford to have them
go than they can afford to leave. We
trust there will be many Josephs among
them, gathering honors and wealth
but If those who have demanded their
portion and gone into "the far coun-
trie" tire of the husks and arise and
come back, the robe and the ring and
the fatted calf shall be given again to
Prodigal Sous.

SUPPOSED TO BE CoMING.-The Her.
aid asks: How many people will come
from the East this year with the inten-
ton of settling on the Pacific Coast
We have collated from Eastern papers
the following promise of emigration
from various 1ocalities;-From New
York city, $4,000; from Philadelphia,
5000; from Boston, 1900; from New
Orleans, $1,000; from Chicago, $4,000
from Cincinnati, 1000; from st. LOIiis
10000. An emigration from the South>
ern States, generally, has been reckoned
at not less than $4,000. exclusive oi
New Orleans. These figures make a
total of $4,000 persons, of which we
may further speculate by assigning the
destination of 100000 20 California, and
of that 100000. one half to San Francis

VELoCIPEDE SPEED.-Hdrper's Week
Ly says The best speed thus far at
tained is a mile in a few seconds less
than four minutes. In Paris the Amer
leans carried off the prizes, as well for
slow as fast riding. The slow riding is
much the most difficult, as it is far east
er for the rider to keep his equilibrium
in rapid ride than while moving
slowly-just as in the case of boy
driving hoop. the faster it goes the
more direct the line. To ride veloci-
pede well is much less difficult than to
learn to skate, and the danger of a fall
is not imminent. The present scale of
prices demanded by dealers is about the
same, ranging from sixty to one hundred
dollars The weight of velocipede is
about sixty pounds, and the size of driv-
\ ing wheels most in favor from thirty to
thirty six inches in diameter. The
springs of the vehicle are so arranged
as to make it ride easily over a tolera>
bly, rough pavement. A fair country
road is as good a track as one could de-
sire; but hills of more than one foot in
twenty cannot be climbed without dis
mounting and leading the machine.

SINGULAR HALLucnArIoS. A Young
woman named Anna O'Neil was arrested at
the Executive Mansion last night under very
curious circumstances. She was carried to
the Central guard-house by 0flccr Shelton,
on duty at the Presidents House, and, at

following facts were developed.
II appears that at an early hour yesterday
afternoon she gained admittance to the Ex::
ecutive Mansion, and, unnotlced, wandered
through the halls until about O'Clock, when
she was discovered endcavoring TO find her
way TO the apartment In which President
johnson was seated. Upon being accosted
by one OF the officers on duty as TO what she
wanted, she replied that she had been sent
rom God to assassinate Andrew Johnson.
She was arrested, and q double-barrcled
pistol--not loaded-was found upon her per-
son. Amer hearing the statement OF the
oficer making the arrest, Justice Clark de-
