The New York Stock Report ventilates
itself in this wise: "The course of some
Of the San Francisco papers in keeping
up encouraging bulletins regarding prop
critics in the Comstock lode is deserving
Of the severest condemnation. Newspa-
pers may be more or less governed by
~pecuniary motives, in common with man
kind in general, but the seeming utter
and exclusive subserviency to such mo
tives as manifested by a few of them in
their treatment OF the Comstock mines
is net creditable to journalism. The at
tempt to give the impression that there is
still sufficient life in the Comstocks to
base a hope Of complete recovery seems
to us entirely unjustifed by any known
facts. We believe they are dying, and
the occasional Pickering that takes place,
only to be superseded by more complete
darkness, seems to us to presage coming
dissolution. The sustaining powers
seem to be growing weaker and weaker,
Sierra Nevada no longer runs up into the
hundreds per share, but subsidies before
getting into the thirties.
Is it worth while to continue this
struggle any longer? While we are
writing we are informed that the Sierra
Nevada has tapped once more its only
bonanza, the pockets of its shareholders,
having levied its SEVENTEEN assessment,
or 81, 0O0, 900, with during its entire
c~areer) but $l02, 500 in dividends as an
offset. The secret of the recent boom
is explained. 1t was to give insiders an
opportunity to unload at high figures, so
that outsiders might have the exclusive
privilege Of paying the assessment about
to be levied.
"Comstock dividends are all extracted
from outside Of the mines, and the more
than Spartan heroism shown by the con-
tributors in continually coming to the
rescue is worthy of a better cause. It
seems a folorn hope. We hear from the
bottom Of those deep shafts the ominous
words, Thus far into the bowels of
the earth we've come without impede
ment'-in the shape of ore."

THE FUTURE OF NEW YORK.
The operators of Wall street smile
with satisfaction when they read that
the governor Of the Bank of England
says that the most eminent inancier of
London confesses his inability to form an
opinion as to the immediate future in
New York, although his firm has agents
in all parts Of the world, and he fatters
himself that he can anticipate events in
all places but the American metropolis.
There is no other great city in the world
where speculation is carried to such ex-
tremes as in New York.

A Husbands Suspicious OF the

About two years ago there came to Hell
ena a bright youngg gentleman Of pleasing
address seeking q location for the practice
of his profession, dentistry. Liking the
looks Of things in Helena, he settled here
and began the practice Of his profession.
He was well liked by his acquaintances,
and had o large circle OF friends. But
like many Young men new to the West he
became fascinated by some OF the evil in
fuences SO easily fallen in with in the
mountains, He learned to drink. to gam
BILE, to keep late hours and to frequent dis
reputable places. The practices have the
effect of debasing the morals of any man,
and il is no wonder that he was not an ex-
ception. His last act in this city was the
commission of one of the gravest wrongs
which man can be guilty OF toward his
fellows.
Last week the community was surprised
to learn that the young dentist had sud.
denly left the city with the intention OF
| NOT returning. He had decided to do this
| one day last week, and sold his Office furni-
ture the same evening and left the follow
ing morning. His hurry had been so
great that he even forgot to settle with his
| creditors before going. This proceeding
created great surprise, and it could not be
| imagined at first what could have caused
it, although it was evident there must
have been An urgent reason. 1t finally
leaked out, however, that there was q
woman in the case, and also an angry and
wronged husband. 1t appears that the
husband has had suspicion that the young
doctor was becoming rather intimate at
his house, and last week on seeing him go
there in the daytime, concluded to investi-
gate, and on suddenly entering the room
he found the guilty pair in such a situa-
ton as to leave no doubt of their criminal
conduct. Names are mo- mentioned at
this time, as no good would result there
from. The unhappy husband, who stands
we'll in businesSand society, has the SYM
| pathy of the community. The woman
implicated has, we learn, gone East.
