THE WRONG MAN IN THE RIGHT
PLACE.

"Ouce upon Il time," us probably is
the case ut the present period Of writ
ing, there were two fellows Of the
highest and the lowest grade at Port
land prison. The former was the
fraudulent banker, Sir John Dean Paul
convicted of embezzling thousands ;
the other n pettifoging thief, convicted
OF stealing property to the amonnt of
a few shillings. The ex-banker was
treated with every consideration by
the gaol authorities. He was en-
ployed in the laundry, and the utmost
extent OF hand labor extracted from
him was the occasional turning of Il
mangle. He was well fed and Mttcn-
cd; and, considering the nature of the
place in which he found himself, Sir
John Dean Paul, it may be said, lived
in clover; but not SO, however. as re-
garded his more humble partner in
iniquity. He was well worked, spar
ingly fed, and experienced none of
those little indulgences which so ma
terially alleviated the barOnet's suf-
ferings whilst in durance vile. Being
of a pOctical turn the minor delin-
quent gave expression to his feelings
on this subject i'll the following pun
gent verse, inscribed on the walls of
the engine-room:
IT I'd been partner in bank
shouldn't be turning this ere crank"
Our poetical thief was evidently a
shrewd observer of men and manners,
and probably knew, to his cost, the
truth of the old proverb, which tells
us one man may steal u horse with
impunity, whilst another will be
hanged for looking over the hedge at
it. Sometimes the law bags great Of
tenders, as in the case of Sir John
Dean Paul but, generally ifthc pub
lie mind can be pacified by the sacri-
flee of the minnows, the big fish con-
trive to escape out of the net.

THE FIRST SNOW FALL.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

The snow had begun in the cleaning,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping the field and highway
With silence deep and white.
Every pine, and fur, and hemlock,
Wore ermine too dear for an earl;
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was fringed inch deep with pearl.
From sheds now rooted with Carrara
Came Clanticleers mutflcd crow;
The stiff rails were softenel to swans down,
And still fluttered down the snow.
stood and watched by the window
The noiseless work of the sky,
And the sudden hurries of the snow birds,
Like brown leaves whirling BY
thought Of mount in sweet Auburn
Where a little hearthstOne stood
How the flakes were folding 1t gently,
AS did robins the babes In the wood.
Upspokc our own little Mabel,
Saying, Father, who makes it SNOW p
And told of the good All.Father,
Who cares for us all below.
Again looked at the snow fall,
And thought Of the laden sky
That arched DER our first green sorrow,
When the mound was heaped so high.
remember the gradual patience
That fell from that cloud.likc snow;
Flake by fake healing and hiding
The scar of the dccpstabbcd woe.
And again to the child whispered
'"rhe snow that h,lsheth ALL
Darling, the merciful Father
Alone can make 1t fall
Then with eyes that saw not, kissed her,
And She kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
Folded close under the deepening snow.

affrays in which James Bowie was en-
gagged gave origin to the 'Bowic-knife,'
which has obtained u fearful celebrity
something it's inventor never de-
signed or expected. The circumstan-
ces were: There lived in Louisiana a
Judge Crane, of character as dauntless
as that of Bowie himself, who was,
like the latter, land speculator.
Their interests clashcd, and q deadly
ftud existed between them. Each had
a following of about sixty friends,
who were interested in the profits
arising from the sale of the lands.
Between member of the Crane and
one of the Bowie party difficulty
arose, which it was agreed they should
settle by fighting a duel on the sand
bar Immediately opposite Natchez.
According to the terms OF the fight it
was stipulated that neither Bowie nor
Crane should be presenter the ground
when the affair took place. Friends
from Natchez interviewed and brought
aboutan amicablc adjustment between
the parties. AS customary on such
occasions, it was concluded to cement
the newly formed friendship by i'm
bibiug a duel of brandy and cham
paigne. Accordingly few baskets of
each, with boxes of cigars, were sent
for, and, circling rounda spring which
flowed near the bank under some
willows, the parties arranged them
selves. There a flow of soul and the
cup was INDUCED in, when Judge
Crane very unexpectedly put in an
appearance and joined in the convivi-
alitv. Bowie, doubling that Judge
Crane would keep his agreement, put
spy upon his movements. While
the generous fluid operated upon the
thermometer Of their criminal feeling,
and sent it up like the mercury nearly
to fever-heat, and while all were glee-
full and happy, a rustling was heard
among the willow boughs which over
hung the path leading down the bank,
and the dreaded form of jim Bowie
burst upon the astonished vision of
the spectators. His presence meant
fight, and that to the death. Like a
snowflake falling upon heated fur
mace, the previous good understand
ing was dissolved, and the friends Of
each of these leaders respectively took
sides and commenced firing. Upon
the appearanceof Bowie, Judge Crane

The Railroad.

Track laying has been recommended on
the Utah & Northern. For several months
past the rush of freight has been so great that
no constructing material could be forwarded,
but now that the bulk Of the spring ship
mcnts has passed over the road, it is tolerably
certain that the extension of the track will
proceed hereafter uninterruptedly and that
before snow flies to any extent, Wun-
derlich's will be reached. 1t will be a COM
parativcly easy matter to construct the road
to Butte from tina, point, as the only cngi-
neering difficulties on the route, those in Big
Hole canon, will have been surnounted. 1t
may therefore confidently he expected that
the late order of the company to hasten the
completion of the road to tins city will be
executed as soon as possible.

3. Notes.

The high water in Snake river this summer
has caused considerable damage to the Utah
Il Northern. 4 levee Of five or six miles in
length has been built under the supervision
Of j. II. Martineau, Esq, to prevent any
injury to the grade by the water. A break
in this recently caused a washOut on the
road, and the destruction Of a bridge, which
made it necessary to transfer passengers for
two days. A large force of men and teams
were put to work to repair the break, and
trains were enabled to run again. Yesterday
a second occurrence Cf the kind made it nee
essary to transfer passengers once more.
Three new engines have lately arrived,
and will Immediately be brought into good
use.
\ great deal OF machinery is passing over
the road the present season, bound mainly
for the mines in the north. Yesterday two
very large steam engine boilers with attack
ments were to be seen on the freight train

Sale Of n Promising Mine In the New
District.

The Boulder mine owned by Hathaway &
Brown, and which since the 10Th of Febru-
airy last has been worked under bond to
Messrs Lawson & Airport, has at last been
transferred, the appearance of the property
justifying the bondees in the purchase. From
reliable sources it is ascertained that the
buyers have excellent prospects of making a
raise as there is reported to be much more
than enough ore in sight to reimburse the
new owners for the money investcd-$l5,OOO
There are four lodges running through the
ground, but only one of them has been ex-
plored to any extent. Five shafts in all have
been sunk, varying in depth from 35 to IS
feet. Between these shafts it is estimated
that there are 5000 tons of ore in sight.
From 200 samples taken the average value of
the ore has been ascertained to be S23. so,
which is high grade for gold ore.
According to contract, the mill will be
completed by the 1st Of August, but is not
likely to start up before the 10th. 1t is of
ten stamp capacity, and the machinery will be
sufficiently heavy for ten additional stamps
should the condition of the mine next fall
warrant the enlargement. The ore will be
treated by the usual process for separating
free gold, and probably IL tons per diem will
be handled. 1t is intended to extract as
much ore as possible before SNOW flies, SO tina:
the mill can be kept in operation all winter.

csnssiidatlsn Of the Acquisition a,s
Mines.

An important mining transaction, and one
which will doubtless result in material
oeheht to Butte, was negotiated yesterday.
An arrangement was entered into between
Mr. W.. A. Clark ct al, who own the Stewart
iode, and Packard & Meueray, who own the
Acquisition II Acquisition SPUR lodes.
whereby the entire property will be together
developed. The Stewart aljoins the Acaui-
sltlon on the east and is doubtless an exteu-
sion OF that ledge. Heretofore, each party
mas found it undesirable TO sink below water
level, and it Is to the mutual benefit that it
has been decided upon to consolidate the
three claims. The new company composed
OF the gentlemen above named is to be
known as the Utah & Montana Silver
Mining Company. To this new organization
Msssrs. Packard & Mencray have decided the
Acquisition and Spur, and Mr.. Clark has
conveyed the Stewart, besides paying sl5, 900
TO tile Utah gentlemen. Two new shafts
Will be at once started, which, with the one
already sunk, will afford abundant facilities
Tor the systematic development Of the prop
erty. They will be sunk by whyms, and will
DC put down below water as far as possible.
The newly consolidated claims are known
to be valuable. Some of the richest ore ever
found in the camp was picked up on the
acquisition ground before a pick had been
struck, many tons of the float being
shipped east and yielding handsome returns.
When the ledge was discovered, the same
character of ore was found, and it is with
great pleasure that we make known the fact
that the mine is to be thoroughly prospected.
