nominate three delegates to visit Columbia and
bring the subject before the proper authorities: /:

The Small Pox.

1t is now an accomplished fact that the
small pox terror is not abroad in This city,
and that the time for alarm has passed. The
more exlravagant the rurnors spread in OUT
lying districts and ~neighboring towns, the
more strikingly apparent is the plain truth
that there are only three persons in all this
city Of eight thousand souls, and its suburbs,
who can be said to have any symptoms of
small pox, and the additional fact that these
three persons are now pronounced GONZALES
cent by their attending physician. OF these
one is a man in the pest house, who has never
been in a critical condition, and the
other two are children who were
exposed to the disease at the
time when 1t was brought here
from Divide, and who have been SC
carefully isolated and so faithfully nursed
that their entire recovery is only the question
Of a very short time.
We hope that the Territorial press, and oul
more distant exchanges, will take the tr1ubl-
to publish these facts, showing the absenc'
Of smallpox from Butte, in view of the fire
quency and positiv sness of the assertion
which have been SO broadly made that thi
disease was an epidemic here.

Poor Doe.

Mrs, John Dae called At our office yester-
day, and sitting dewn in the local ed tors
.urkey-cushioned easy. chair, burst into tears.
Now a woman in tears is always a peculiarly
depressing spectacle to a self-respecting man,
50 we al FIRST felt inclined to faint, and then
became almost overcome by an ardent desire
to tGtcruit onr exhausted spirits by taking
refuse-even in a ~neishboring saloon, but as
We rose to go, Mrs. Doe entrsated us to be
seated, and opening herrss ard pearl-lined
mouth, gave vent to a gentle stream of
monrnful eloqaepce, which flowed just fif-
Teen inmates by the clock. She hualiy sue
cesaea in informing US that Mr. Doe, her
husbaIrd, had again been led into temptation,
aud had again been brought up before Judge
Wilcox, in the Police Court, on the charge
of having been druIlA and disorderly. More
than that, John had been fined twenty-five
dollars, which john had promised to his dear
spouse to buy a winter bennett, and now, ugh
-boo-hoo! We were informed later that
John had bsen SO drunk tina he had offered
twenty-five dollars 10 any policeman who
would keep Ia Ia all night in the cooler, as he
was drunk and afraid of being robbed. We
are afraid John has been playin it rather
tue on his too-contding spouse, and war;
him we will not be a party to any such dis.
graceful proceeding.
