a disnatch from Victoria says: The Cath

be pursued towards them in educational mat
ters as is observed toward the Protestant uni
yersity in Quebec.
The Greek government is informed that
4, 900 Turkish troops have been dispatched

To the River Press.
The Eecord, in its profound discrimination
concerning the s'black she-devil," failed to
give the name Of the third party, or che
devil, but this is not the first time that paper
has done this It seems to crafty the editors
of that sheet with poorly concealed pleasure
to announce to the public mishap to the
colored people Of Benton bit when the
matter is brought openly to the public some
s.gentleman" of the Saxon race is pre-emi-
nently concerned-and in this case, perhaps,
the direct cause-of such disgraceful me1ees.
Whether the editors of the Record left cut
the name Of the party Of their complexion
to save him from disgrace, and inserted the
names of the colored persons to fill up its
local column, is q fact we have not yet ar
rived at. The Record must remember that
we are portion Of this community, and al
we ask is justice.

The arrival Of Lieut. General Sheridan
some moments later was the occasion for q
renewal of the enthusiasm, though the dem

Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the
Supreme Court entered and were seated in

meanwhile conining itself to half Of the

troduced to the Senate by Vice President
Wheeler and delivered the usual formal ad-
dress as follows:
SENATORS: Il come as your presiding
officer with genuine solicitude.
Remembering my inexperence in parlla-
mentary proceedings cannot forget how
important and intricate and very embarras-
sing are the duties of the chairman. These
should in our official association invoke that
courtesy and kindness with which you have
been wont to aid your presiding officer. [
shall need your constant encouragement and
support, and | rely with confidence upon
your lenient judgment Of any errors into
which | may fall, in return the promise Of
my earnest purpose to administer your rules
in a spirit Of resoute frmness, to treat every
Senator at all times with that courtesy and
Justice due to Representatives of the States,
and to do my part as assuredlY as each of
you does his to maintain the order, decorum
and dignity of the Senate trust that the
official and personal relations upon which
we now enter, will be marked by mutual
confidence and regard, and that all our OBJ
legations will be so fulfilled, as We are banded
to our own honor to the glory of our com
mon country and the prosperity Of all its
people" Applause.

TIRE BATTLE OF spETZAOp.
Where the BOers Annihtsafesl the Brit
Ism Arnny Unsaer Colby.

Detailed accounts received render it certain
that the British were driven from Spitzkop
because they were fairly beaten. The fight
ended in & rout. The most moderate esti-
mate places the loss at 800 killed and wound
ed. The correspondent with Colley's ferces
at spitzkop gives tie following account Of.
the engagement ,Fs1ss II. &.
Spitzkop is 3,000Syards Irom the Boers'
position. Two companies were left at the
base Of the hill, and the remainder of the
troops toiled up the hill, which is very steep
and difficult Of ascent, on their hands and
knees. It would have been impossible to
have carried up even mountain guns. Had
we had these the result might have been diff
ferent. The whole force reached the sum-
nit before daylight, and about o'clock. The
Beers, who had no videttes posted, were com
pletely surprised, but promptly returned the
fire. Our men had little cover, and the num-
Der of Beers at the base OF the hill was about
two thousand Up to midday their loss was
certainly heavier than ours. General Colley
was conspicuous for his GOODNESS and courage
and kept up constant communication with
the camp by signal. Shortly after noon the
Boer fire, which had heretofore averaged
about fifty shots per minute, increased to q
terrific yoley, which our men were unable
to Withstand. They wavered and were raj
le7, then wavered again and ran il a general
sctuoe quj peut. The Beers climbed to the
summit and followed them with a terrific fire
as they went down the other side.
The correspondent was captured by the
Beers, who treated him we'll and gave him a
pass to return to camp. He identified the
body of General Colley On the field.

A new lead called the Morgan has been

good surface indications and followed them
down with q shaft IS feet before they found
the vein. Tie discovery IS said to be rich

The Summit & Desoto have now 45 tom Of

The Eclipse is the name of another new
lead found The ore is about the same IN
character as the other leads, and the vein IS
between three and four feet wide.
The hardy miners are nearly all busy de-
veloping their lesds and bringing ore out on
the dump. Later and probably more correct
assays confirm the reports heretofore pub
lished Of the undoubted future Of the camp.

MILES Cry, M. T., March 2.
This day has been one of anxiety and ex
treme exertion for the citizens Of this city,
and one long to be remembered. During
the mild weather for the last few days the
river subject has been first and foremost on
the tongue Of every citizen. Our oldest resi-
dents predicted the usual difficulty arising
from the opening OF the Tongue and Yellow.
stone rivers, and this day discloses to the
latest settlers the sequel and result Of river
gorges.
About o'clock this morning Tongue
river partially gave up its great burden OF ice,
and it was thought by some that We would
escape the usual dangers Of a spring breakup.
AS the hour of noon gradually drew nigh we
were all startled by the intelligence received
that Tongue river was gorged three miles
above the city, and the water taking north
eastery course, dirtect through the city After
filling the lower landsthe water raised through
the streets Of the city gradually, until depth
Of Is or twenty inches was reached on the
level streets.
BY this time teams and conveyances of all
kinds were in demand. Boats were eventu-
ally brought into use and the streets presented
good illustration of Venetian scene; boats
10 by 40 were used to convey families to
places of safety and to transfer furniture,
goods, etc., to more secure retreats. The
never failing kind attentions Of Col Whistler,
commanding officer at Fors Keogh, were
ours in this hour when we stood in great need
Of succor and assistance. He has caused
the loan of large boats, fifteen wall tents
and the assistance Of some Of his men to aid
u.s. At the present writing everything is
comparatively quiet and the water about sta
tionary, although another gorge some miles
in length is reported above US, likely to give
way at any moment. Business has been to-
tally suspended for the day and we are now
watching and waiting for the crisis.

To the River Press:
Some Of our sheep owners have lost rather
heavily, while others have had a very light
loss A new firm was lately organized here,
Divers, Chiffon & Seigher. They are going
to invest in sheep and try wool growing for
fortune. Seigher 6 Chiffon are men of ex-
perience. They are talking of making
drive from Oregon or California.
SHINING sheep is one Of the pastimes here
just now, and some Of the boys are doing
fairly at it. | am sorry to say that some OF
our esteemed citizens have been tempted to
kill some slow elk, but hope that such will
not happen again, as it might tend to destroy
that peace and tranquility which now reigns
supreme.
White Calf and portion Of his band have
been hunting in this part Of the Basin, and
visit.
Henry Vessor will open blacksmith shop
here soon. He is young man Of principle
and understands his trade. Persons desiring
work in bis line should employ him and help
to build up home iLuuslrles.
Mr.. McCuan has developed into a frst-class
pastry cook, and is employed by Alf Steph-
ens at the Gap. Persons travelling would do
well to try and make his place, where they
will be provided with good accommodations
both for themselves and their animals.
Many of our ranchmen are getting short of
provisions, and contemplate making Benton
visit as soon as the roads become p able.
Benton merchants should let our stock grow
ers and ranchmen know that they can sell as
low as Helena merchants, for some of them
are talking of.going to Helena for supplies.
The mail is now running regular, and We
are blessed with prompt tri-weekly service.

The Power OF Imitation in Dogs.

The following anecdote may interest
those of your readers who are accus-
toned to observe the characteristic ac-
tions of dogs. l can vouch for its ac-
curacy, as was an amused eyewitness
and several members of my family were
also present, and have often told the
story.
Afriend of ours and his wife were spend.
ing musical evening with us, and an
old, black, English terrier, who belonged
to the house, had been in the drawing
room, which was upstairs. The dog
had been kindly noticed by our friend,
who was partially lame from paralysis
On leaving the drawing-room. the dog
followed him to the top of the stair
case 1--WE, with his wife, were waiting
below in the halD, and with cooked tail
and ears stood gravely watching his
slow, limping descent, When the in
valid was nearly at the foot of the stairs,
the dog began to follow, limping on
three legs Che was quite sounO, in hui
morous Imitation of our poor, afflicted
friend, and his assumed lameness was
gravely kept up, till he arrived on the
mat. 1t was impossible to repress a
smile, though our polteness was at
stake, and the Inconsistencies of our
friend added to the difficulty. London
