Such dirty little filings as the above are un-
worthy a journal that processes to reflect the
opinions of a community as intelligent as
that Of Helena. We are satisfied the hide
pendent misrepresents the inhabitants of that
beautiful city in its too oft repeated silly and
unmanly attacks upon Butte, and that its
spiteful kicks against the Silver City are
prompted by a jealousy confined solely to
the office of our contemporary. Would 1t
not be quite as we'll Tor the Independent to
adhere to the truth in the future in its refer
ences to this city?

thing has prog lessed very smoothly,
and favorably under the care of Drs. Whit
ford and Bacon. A visit to the second floor
of the Miners Hospital on which the sick
persons are kept, is refreshing. The floors
are as clean as soap and water can make
them, every article of china or pottery to be
seen is bright and attractive looking, and the
patients themselves seemed to have a con-
tented appearance. The bedding and sheets
we're evidently carefully cared for, and we

week, and sometimes, in urgent cases, once

has quite a homelike aspect, with the neatly
washed and curtained windows looking tc
the east, and a comfortable easy chair or two
drawn up within reading distance of the
window.

Police Court.

In the dead watches of Friday night Mr..
Richard Vanderstricken SO unbecoz1ingly be-
haved himself that Judge Wilcox, acting the
role of the indulgent but thoughtful physi-
clan, was forced to administer to him yester-
day a dose of unpalatable medicine. As the
unfortunate Vanderstricken came s~quarely to
the notch and acknowledged that he had
been both drunk and disorderly, he was let
off, on promising to be a good boy, with S.
and trimmings.

A Damned River and a Sudden
Bath.

Late particulars OF the explosion below
New Chicago, on the Deer Lodge river, in
form US that none of the sufferers were seri-
ously injured. The enormous mass OF earth
thrown into the river is said to have damned
it for several hours. /; is strange under The
circumstances that no one of the men thrown
into the current by the conclusion produced
by the simultaneous ignition of seven kegs
of powder was more seriously hurt, but it
seems that they escaped with comparatively
slight wounds. A gentleman who saw DR..
Mitchell after he visited the scene of the ac-
cidenS gives usthe above particulars.

POLICE COURT.
The Menagerie Crowded as Usual.
Bloody Struggles Between the Ami
mails.

The performance yesterday began prompt
" at 2 o'clock in the al -ernoon and continued
to a large and delighted audience for several
hours. Slight intermissions were allowed at
short intervals for the purpose of shifting
cages, etc., but all the time tho presiding
Judge and attendant marshals and policemen
preserved an appropriate dignity and atten-
ton, which could not but be soothing and
grateful to the animals themselves.
The first on exhibition was an ampbibious
specimen from the north of Ireland, called
Waters for short, who was captured at u
O'Clock yesterday morning i'll trent of a Main
street saloon. His of1ense was splitting on
the American eagle, and his punishment $40
and costs.
The second cage contained the most repul-
sive locking "dIunk and disorderly' ever
landed behind the bars. He had been caught
in a condition of unconscious filth and inc
briation about 3 o'clock yesterday morning.
on lower Main street, and having made him
self hateful in the eyes and to the noses of
both gods and men, was let of with S. and
costs.
The third scene in the drama of life in a
bar-room was the trial of one Bono-no re-
| lstjon of Bono Publico-who had busted Mr..
Dominic Pinnev in the back OF the head
with a beer bottle. linney made complaint
night before last, but was unwilling to push
the case farther yesterday in court. Thanks
to the evidence of other men who saw and
heard this row on Broadway at an early hour
Yesterday moraing, Bon was convicted and
paid up his $40 and costs without a whlm-
per.
Lastly came the case of Mr.. P. J. Hand,
who had unwfttingly attacked an unknown
animal of great strength md ferocity the
night before, and whose ,nlHtenance bore
witness to the mastery skill of the architect
who erected the several shanties thereon ap-
nearing. Mr.. Fl. was found guilty of uupro-
voked assault and fined S. and costs. 1t was
very much as if the lions had eaten up Dan
tel and then had him arrested for assault and
battery.

More Chinese Cheap Labor.

The Chinese vessel Nee Foo is now in our
harbor. The Nee Foo is the second of the
line. ofsWhom the Hochung was the first,
established to ply between this city and some
port in China The Chinese, following their
accustomed method of getting trade, have
already cut under the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company in the transportation of -four,
and the presumption is fair that a similar
course will be adopted with other articles of
freight and passengers. The reduction made
by the managers of the Nee Foo would
draw all of the -four going to China at pres
emit if the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
did not meet the reduction with one equal
or greater. This the company has done, and
at the last accounts had established the low
est rates; But il Is not supposed that the
struggle has ended yet. The Chinese would
not have commenced the cutting-down pro-
cess If they had not carefully examined the
situation and calculated the chances.
Whether the China Merchants Steamship
Company Is subsidized BY the Chinese Gov
eminent or not Is not positively known; but
assuming that it is not the competition of
this race in the business of transportation is
likely to be as deadly as in other branches
of industry. China is nation in which
everything is cheap, including human
tain advantage over Americans Their ships
may cost IS much asourz, but their running
expense win be less, - their labor il lower
and the cost Of living less. Other things
being even, cheap labor will give them the
advantage in the struggle for the China
trade. ltseeEns almost like retributiYe jus
tice that the company which has derived
large profits By flooding California with
cheap Chinese labor should now be engaged
in Iife>and. death struggle for exiatence
with Chinese competitor. San Francisco

The Education of Women.

Canon Brereton has been cleverly
presenting the reasons why Cambridge
and Oxford should lead in female edu-
cation. He believes that as the partlc-
ipation of women in general as well as
in higher studies must be great factor
in the future of education, the univer-
sity, as a chief inheritor and transmit
ter of learning from generation to
generation, has no right to dissoeiate
itself from any great movement con-
nected with the advancement of learn
ing. The canon claims that if female
education is conferred in the universities
a stimulus viii be given to the best
religious influences both in study and
in life. His concluding reason why the
university should be a centre for wo-
mans education is this Because any
consequences that might be
feared, whether to the university or
to the students, by the admission of
women can be guarded against by suit
able regulations, and still more by
responsible authorities whereas the
diversion of the interests and influences
that are gathering round the question
of womens education from the univer-
sfty to other centers would be an ire
trievable step, isolating the university
for the future from a movement of
great force and promise

Female Bduoation in England.

The admission of women to the tripos ex-
aminations of the University of Cambridge,
in England, which that venerable seat of
learning has Just voted to allow, is great
and important victory for the advocates of a
higher education for the opposite sex. The
victory is all the more significant from the
fact that while the vote on the question
was one of the largest ever cast in the Uni
versity the majority in support of the prop
ositiOn was overwhelming, the placets
S98 and the non-placets only one. This new
departure on the part of one of the two
greatEnglish universities will have the effects
of elevating the standard of the female col
leges of Great Britain, while in the race for
the honors, and possibly the rewards OF
scholarship, it will place the two sexes on
more Of an equality than prejudice and pre-
cedsnt have yet permitted The new
rules do not provide for the CO.
education Of the sexes in the great
university. Cambridge will go on IN its old
way, discharging its duties and functions
and doing its work as it has been doing 1t
for hundreds and hundreds of years. They
only provide that when the time comes TO
give or withhold the mint mark Of scholarly
achievement women who have been educa-
ted beyond its walls shall not be excluded
from the privileges Of competitor for the
honors il has to confer As . step in the
direction Of the emancipation of the other
sex from the trammels which the tyranny
Of society and tradition have imposed upon
it. the victory is an important one--N- =:

A Romance in British High Life.

Many years ago, says the Toronto Globe,
a young mar made his appearance in STRAIT
ford, and passed a few weeks at the tavern
which then existed to afford shelter TO
state-coach travellers. Whence he came,
and what was his business, none could
guess. Directly opposite the tavern stood
the small cottage and forge of blacksmith
named Folsom. He had a daughter who
was the beauty of this village, and it was
her fortune to captivate the heart of the
young stranger. He told his love, said he
was travelling incog; but, in confidence,
gave her his real name, saying that he was
heir to large fortune. She returned his
love, and they were married few weeks
after. The stranger told his wife that he
must visit New Orleans. He did so, and
the gossips of the town made the young
wife unhappy by disagreeable hints and
ieers. In a few months the husband re-
turned but before week elapsed he received
a large budget of letters, and told his wife
that he must at once return to England,
and must 90 alone. He took his departure,
and the gossips had another glorious oppor-
tunity to make the confiding woman
wretched. To all but herself it was clear
case of desertion The wife became
mother, and for two years lived on in
silence and hope. By the end of that time
letter was received by the Stratford beau
ty from her husband, directing her to go at
once to New York with her child, taking
nothing with her but the clothes she wore,
and embark in ship for home in England.
On her arrival in New York she found a
vessel splendidly furnished with every con-
venience and luxury for her comfort, and,
two servants ready to obey every wish she
might express. The ship duly arrived in
England and the Stratford girl became the
mistress of a mansion, and, as the wife of a
baronet, was saluted by the aristocracy as
Lady Samuel Stirling. On the death of her
husband, many years ago, the Stratford boy
succeeded to the title and wealth of his
father; and in the last edition of "Peerage
and Baronetage," he is spoken of as the issue
of "Miss Folsom, of Stratford, North
America"

A Very Young Couple.
Albany Journal. ]

Albany Journal
A rather novel case has been developed in
the matrimonial line. According to the
Revised Statutes male can marry at the
age of fourteen years and a female at the
age of twelve Outside of the legal frater-
nifty and clerical circle this fact is but little
known. The case referred to is as follows
A young man in his nineteenth year, a son
of poor French Canadian moulder, resi-
ding in the lower part of the city, proposed
marriage to a German girl of poor parent
age, between thirteen and fourteen years of
age The latter was working as servant in
private family at the time, and, telling
the young man she was willing, both went
to a prominent Methodist minister last
week and were married. The girl told the
minister che was eighteen years old, which
she says he doubted, and the young man
said he was twenty. They paid the minis
ter one dollar and departed. She returned
to her work, and he continued on at his
In some manner the parents of the con-
tracing parties became informed of the
transaction, and, learning of the true facts,
went to the minister and poured forth their
wrath. The parents of both depended
partially on their children for support, and
immediately took steps to see if they could
not have the marriage annulled.

The death of the Princess de Ia Moskowa
calls to mind the fact that her grand
daughter, Madame Friedman, who went
TO Jail while ago under the accusation Of
forging the old lady's name on acceptancess
would never have got out 50 long as her
ancient relative lived. It is no stretch of
the fancy to say that the Princess was one
of the most misery persons ever known.
She died in the lower rooms of the superb
mansion which was presented 70 her father,
Jaaues Lafitte, in the last generation By q
national subscription, and she rented all the
other parts of the house. She dressed
wretchedly, and her main amusement con-
sisted in playing one-cent baEiQue, with her
own servants. She rarely went ont. and

Farmers Houses.

Most every farm house contains what
is called the best room, and which is
only used on extraordinary occasions /;
it being almost wholly closed not only
to the members of the family, but to
the sun and light. Now it strikes us
that the most convenient, agreeable,
and for ti.st matter, the most pleasant
room in the house zhnnld be selected as
the family room. Let its doors he ever
open, and when the work of the kitchen
is completed let the mother and daugh-
tiers be found there with their appropri-
ate work. Let it be the room where
the family altar is erected and conse-
Grated to neatness and purity. Let no
hat ever be seen in that room on the
head of its owner; let no cOatless indl-
vidual be permitted to enter it. II
fathers head is bald, and some there
are in that predicament, his daughter
will be proud to see his temples covered
by the neat and graceful silken cap that
her own hands have fashioned for him.
Let that table which has always stood
under the looking-glass, against the
wall, be wheeled into the room, It's
leaves raised, and plenty of useful
books and periodicals be laid upon it.
When evening comes bring on the lights
and plenty of them-for sons and
daughters, all who can, will be most
willing students. They will read, they
will learn, they will discuss the subjects
of their studies with each other, and
parents will often be quite as much in
structed as their children. The well
conducted agricultural journals of our
day throw a food of light upon the
science and practice of agriculture ;
will show its effects to every passer-by,
for with books and studies like these a
purer taste is born and grows most Wig
orously,
