One day ii stranger came into the Office,
looking angry, and inquired for Greeley. L
pointed him to the little den where Greeley
was scratching away for dear life, and he
made tor it. AS he went in | heard HIM say {:
"Y - old hypocrite" Greeley did not
look up or even pause, but kept driving his
pen nadly on, his nose within a couple of
inches of the paper and his lips whispering
the words after the pen as was his wont. The
fellow continued, calling Greeley's attention
to an article that had offended him., and de-
nouncing him a villain. a coward and a liar
with ali oath about every other word, mean
time threatening to "knock his head off,
Greeley didn't stop for a moment, but iabbe
his pen into the ink and wrote on unrufHed
by the blasphemy. At last the intruder ex-
hansled his vocabulary, and turned to leave
the room, when Greeley jumped up and
squeaked out to him, ''Say, neighbor, don't
go. Stay here and free your mind."-Otirer

of its ore. 1t will undoubtedly stimulate
prospecting in that direction and add its share
to the prosperity of Butte.
Many improvements are going on at the
Pipestone Hot Springs. It proved such a ia
vorite resort last summer that it was over
crowded. Accordingly another house is in
course of erection, and additions are being
made to the former building.
1t was rumored on the streets yesterday that
an enterprising citizen of Butte has gone to
Cataract gulch to lay out a town site and Sc
cure the lots. How true it may be we can
not determine, but, if SO, such enterprise
should not go unrewarded.
The bridge on Granite street, opposite Dunn
Il Stenberg's, has been removed. Dirt from
Dellinger & Hyde's cellar was being brought
yesterday to fill up the ~ravine, making a wide
and safe street. Utah street, which runs
north and south crossing Granite near the
above mentioned point, will be gradually
filled up and graded.
The Ogden junction of Oct. 18th says that
the Utah Territorial Fair showed Utah to be

grounds in Ogden superior TO any others in
any of the Territories.
A temporary structure was erected on
Broadway yesterday in which to put the new

REV. T. DEWITT TALMADGE TO
BE INVESTIGATED.

NEW YORK, February 3.-The Brook
lyn Presbytery met this afternoon for the
purpose of calling Rev. T. Dewitt Tai
madge, pastor of the Brooklyn Taberna-
Gle, to account for wandering from pre-
scrlbed laws of Presbyterianism, and
thereby bringing religion into contempt.
There was a large attendance, and the
friends of Talmadge rallied around in
force. Rev. DIR. Crosby SAID he had con-
suited with three members of the New
York Presbytery in regard to offering
resolutions, and they had exhorted him
to do so. He therefore offered the fol
Lowing.
WHEREAS, Rev T. Dewitt Talmadge,
d. D., is charged by common fame with
falschOod and deceit, and with using i'm
proper methods in preaching, which tend
to bring religion into contempt; and
WHEREAS, 1t is the duty of the Pres
bytery to protect the good name of its
members when they are unjustly assail
ed, and to subject those who offend to
proper discipline; therefore
ReSoLUed, That a committee consisting
of three ministers and two elders be ap.
pointed to investigate the nature and ex-
tent of the common fame referred to in
the within preamble, and report to the
Presbytery what, if any, further action
shall be taken.
There was considerable discussion as
to whether the pastor of the Tabernacle
had been guilty of the charges, and
whether it was worth while to enter into
an investigation.
Rev. DIR. Cuyler offered the following
ResOECed, That a committee of fouI
members of the Presbytery, two minis
tiers and two elders be appointed to visit
the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church and
make careful inquiries In regard to all
matters of common report in reference
to Sabbath worship, and in reference to
the late movement to remove the debi
upon said church; and also that the
committee of inquiry be enjoined to con
duct their interview with the utmost
frankness and brothcrly kindness, and
to report to the Presbytery at an early
day.
Rev DIR. Talmadge offered the follow.
ing: ResOIred, That they go into an in
vestigation at once.
This resolution was Withdrawn, DIR
Cuyler's was voted down, and DIR. Cros

INGALLS, SPEECH.

After his election Senator Ingalls, was
brought before the legislature by a COM
mittee of that body and made the follow
ing brief speech:
l should assume an indifference which
do not feel and of which believe my
self incapable, were to pretend to be in
sensible to this most cordial and crafty
ing demonstration of good will and es-
TEEN on the part of my fellow citizens of
the state of Kansas.
After the unprecedented campaign that
has resulted in your action to-day, may,
perhaps, be allowed to say that my feel
ings of qualification are deeper than /
ness, the consideration, and the courtesy
which has been extended to me; thank
fulnesS of which / am incapable of find
ing fitting expression.
1t has been my honor to serve the peo-
pie of the state of Kansas in public Ca
pacity for the past six years. During
that period have endeavored to demean
myself so that no citizen might have Oc-
casion to be ashamed of my conduct, and
the most | can do in this most solemn,
most significant, and, at the same time,
most impressive hour, is to renew the
pledge that made six years ago, that to
the WelIdTt, glory anu peTSOudl ueNelOp-
ment of the state of Kansas pledge my
best efforts, to the extent of my life, and
my fortune, and my sacred honor.
beg also TO say that the conclusion
of this campaign leaves no trace of bit
terness or resentment toward any of my
adversarles. They were all honorable
gentlemen, who had an absolute right
to aspire to the place which they desired
to fill and can only repeat that in the
campaign which has just closed feel
no trace of resentment, no feeling of
vindictiveness toward any one who has
been my rival, and therefore particu-
larly desire that at this time laying
aside all the feuds and distinctions that
have distracted us heretofore, we may
henceforth devote ourselves to the glOri
fication of the State of which we are all
so justly proud.
know that you are anxious to ad-
iourn, that you may depart to your
homes, and / therefore will not detain
you further than to close by thanking
you from the bottom of my heart for the
most distinguished honor that you have
again conferred upon me.

From a recent issue of the daily Lead
vile, (ColOradO) Chronicle, we clip some
interesting facts in relation to that re-
markable city, which is but a few
months old:
Lumber sells at 800 per thousand feet !;
bricks scarce at $40 per thousand; labor
ers get So per day; a street railway is
in process of erection; carpenters are in
demand at $3.50 per day; two theaters
are in full blast, and an opera-house con-
tracted for; water-works are being con-
stlucted three saw-mills are in full blast /;
there are two churches and sixty-eight
saloons; the principal mines are the Lit
tie Eva, DelmOnte, Little Chief, Yankee
Hill, Hawkeye, Climax, Fryer Hill, Lit
tie Ella, Kokomo and Ten Mile; there is a
club house, a fire department, a cIrcula-
ting library and two large hotels. A
census just taken shows the total popula-
ton of Leadville to be 5,04O, classified

A NEW FINANCIAL BILL IN
HONGRESS-

Among the new bills lately presented in
congress one introduced by Senator Cock
rell of Missouri attracts wide attention.
1t proposes to abolish the national banks
and the legal tender notes and to substi-
tute in their place treasury notes which
are to be receivable for all debts, dues
and demands to and from the govern
ment, except obligations for which coin
was promised. These treasury notes to
be equal in amount to the sum of the
present legal tender and national bank
notes, and to make the currency elastic"
the bill provides that other treasury
notes shall be issued in exchange for
bonds which are to bear no interest while
they are thus held for notes issued, but
the owners of which may at will recall
them by returning the treasury notes,
whereupon interest shall again begin.
Besides these treasury notes it provides
for gold and silver coin certificates which,
also, are to be receivable for all debts due
the United States, and are to be of as low
denomination as g. Whatever spare
treasury notes the treasury may have the
bill proposes shall be devoted to the pur.
chase of silver, which is to be as rapidly
as possible coined into standard dollars
which are to be used to redeem all coin
bonds as fast rs they are redeemable, and
the treasury is commanded to prepare
three per cent. ten year bonds, into which
the wtoleHnational debt is to be convert
ed as fast as may be.

GENERAL USE OF THE ELECTRIC
LIGHT

Evidently the public is losing faith in
Mr. Edison. That he possesses extraor-
binary inventive genius can not be doubt
ed, but there are evidences that it does
not run in all directions. His ability to
evolve new ideas of practical, scientific
utility, has limit. This has Just been
discovered, however, and was not admit
ed few months ago even by those who
have little faith in anybody but them
selves. When Edison tackled the cleo
trio light problem, people supposed that
gas companies would soon be things of
the past Holders of stock, both in
America and England, trembled with
fear lest it should become valueless. A
panic struck the gas business in numer-
Gus cities. But now such property has
again appreciated in value, and will prob
ably soon reach the point where it stood
when the inventor first announced that
he would illuminate the world with a
new kind of light. The New York Sun
says the gas men of the metropolis are
laughing at Mr.. Edison. They are fully
convinced that he will fail to apply the
electric light to general uses, in illumin-
ating stores and dwellings. Its useful
ness must consist wholly in lighting
great spaces in the open air and vast in
teriOrs. There it will undoubtedly be
very serviceable A prominent gas man
of New York, whose opinion is valuable,
informs the Sun that the insurmOuntable
difficulty in the way of its general appli
cability is the impossibility OF transmit
ting to any considerable distance and
dividing the current necessary for il
He is of the opinion that neither Mr.
Edison nor anybody else, can ever over
come this obstacle; the companies in
New York do not believe that the cleo
trio light will affect the business of gas
making to any appreciable extent. They
entertain no fears in regard to the result
of NJ. Edison's experiments. Nearly
everywhere the opinion prevails that the
invention will fail to give us a cheaper
and better light, though it is grea
disappointment Cincinnati Times.

Cincinnati seems to have demonstrated
the truth of the conclusions reached by
the Gazette some weeks ago, that the city
is very wicked. One of our exchanges,
the Council Bluffs Nonpareil, credits
this wickedness to the enormous con-
sumption Of liquors at Cincinnati, and
says: Mot less than twenty-five thous-
and persons depend upon the profits of
saloons for living, and it Is estimated
that the $1,000 families which comprise
the population of the city expend on an
average $40 each per annum for beer
alone, or 923.2O per capita, counting six
persons TO a family. The expenditure
for strong drink of all kinds is put al
&9!OOO,OOO q year, or $3.50 per family
equal to $3O.12 per capita" That is d
pretty bad record to have SO far from

THE NEW PRESIDENT OF
FRANCE.
Witness, JOHN J
II. G. WRIGHT.

The French legislature has elected
Francois Paul Jules Grevy president of
the republic to succeed Mac Mahon, who
has resigned. President Grevy was
born August Is, 1918. He became an
advocate at Paris and acquired influence
as an opponent of both Socialism and
Bonapartism. He was member and
vice president of the constituent and leg
islative assemblies from 1S4S till the
coup TetGt of December 2, 1851.
In 1848 he proposed that the executive
should be chosen by the national assem-
bly,, and hold Office at its pleasure, with
the title of president.
He was elected to the corps legislatif
in 1868 and 1869, and in 1871 to the ma
tional assembly by three departments,
taking his seat for that of Jura, where
he was born. He was president of the
assembly from March, 1871, to April,
1873, but declined the invitation of Pres
ident Theirs to serve longer. This is a
good history for French republican.
1t will be remembered that the Re-
public was proclaimed September 4th,
1870. On the 9th of January, 1871,
Paris surrendered to the Germans. The
national assembly met at Bordeaux, Feb
ruary, Is, and elected Theirs President.
Articles of peace were signed with
Germany February %. Then came the
reign of the Commune, which was put
an end to May %. The election in July
resulted in moderate republican vic

the city charter will wipe out the debt,
