Bordeaux Wines.

To those men, except wine mer
chants and the epicures who owl
famous cellars, Bordeaux and Bur.
gundies are wines which date from
the end of the great NapoIeoniC
wars, inasmuch as In the fifteen
years which preceded the Peace oil
Paris the stores of them which had
in few instances been laid down
had been completely exhausted,
and a fresh start had to be made by
those who were Questionable
enough still to prefer them to the
wines Of Spain and Portugal
According to u story which
has just been told by one of
the French papers, there ia
some uncertainty in France itself
as to the relative antiquity of the
taste for these two rival vintages.
The truth is, however, that the
prime brands of the lighter wines
were very much later in achieving
celebrity than those of the Rhone
district. Burgundy was already
in established favor and reigned
supreme at the Court of Versailles,
when tardy acknowledgment
of the merits Of the western district
was elected from Louis XIV in his
later days. 1t is said that ut the
beginning of that kings reign he
asked Marshal Richelieu whether
there were any dr;Dkable wines in
the Bordeaux district, of which the
marshal in his capacity of governor
OF Aquitaine might naturally
be expected to know D
good deal. SOmo Of the
best wines then made in this re.
giOn were brought to the royal ia
BILE, and the King was good enough
to tell the Marshal that he found
the product of the Chateau Lafitte
"passable." Nine. de Pompadour
remarked to the General that this
was another proof of the decline of
the Kings faculties, but the Cont,
which was gifted with better dis
cernment than it's lord and master,
soon took kindly to the new favor
tie. Que of the chief merits of the
Bordeaux wines was then held to
be the fact that when too much of
them had been drank they, instead
of Overheating the head and body,
merely "sent the drinker to sleep.n

An Italian Tragedy.

Considerable establishment has
been produced in the stately cap.
itsl of Lombardy by the verdict
recently pronounced by Milanese
jury In the following curious case:
IL appears that Que evening last
June, Teresina la Floraia, flower
girl of extraordinary beauty, was
returning to her lodging from a
performances at the REM Circus,
when, as she stepped out OF a cab
at her door, a cloaked figure sprang
upon her from thu portic0 with u
menacing gesture and then van
isbed IN the darkness, having,
however contrived to iuflict Sc
we're wound on her right cheek,
with one dextrOus cut OF razor as
he brushed past her. Uttering q
piercing scream, she fell, bleeding
profuse,y, to the ground, whence
she was presently picked up and
conveyed to the hospital, distigured
for life. The police succeeded in
discovering the author Of this bar
bar0us outrage, Neapolitan by
birth, who, strange to say, had no
personal grudge against his victim,
but had undertaken to mutilate
her on behalf of friend whom
she had previously offe nded. For
some months previous to the cat
astrophe in question TeresiDa had
carried on u liason with q hand
some young volunteer in the No.
vara regiment Of .Lancers, as jsal-
Gus as he was loving. Wearied at
last of his jealousy, she threw him
over, and openly transferred her
affections to another Of her many
admirers. Driven tn despair by
her tickleness, the youthful Lancer
cOnfided his sorrows to cOmrade,
the Neapolitan above alluded to,
who, observing that "iu Naples IL
was the custom for Tilted lovers to
set their mark on the faithless de.
stroyer of their peace" offered to
act as his friends avenger, and did
40 with the result already stated.
Incredible as it may appear, the
jury before which he and his com.
rade were tried q few days ago &C.
Quilted both culprits, on the amaz-
Ing ground, "the impulses OF jeal-
ousy being irresistible, as all men
know, the accused could not be
held responsible for actions com.
mitted under the influence of that
overwhelming passion" A stran-
ger excuse for homocidal assault
says the Tele0roph, has probably
never figured among the "extenu.
ating circumstances'' that so fire..
quently move French juries to the
exercise of untimely and uDjusti-
able lenienoY.

Indian

On New Years day a small party of In
dams crossed the river at this place on the
ferry boat and started south on q hunting ex-
petition. Mr.. John Lepley, who was in
town at the time, learned of their movement,
and not having the least bit of faith in the
noble red man, started towards home to see
that his band Of horses were not molested by
them. Fortunately, he thinks at least, they
did not happen to get their eagle eyes on the
horses, but while following in their (the In
dians) wake Mr.. Lepley came across the
carcasses of a two year old steer and a calf
which had been killed by the red men for
food. There is no game in this section of
the country now, and the Indian will not
starve while there are plenty of cattle at
hand. Under no circumstances, is Mr.. LIS
theory, should Indians, in small or in large
bands, be permitted to wander off their res
ervations, as where there is no game what
ever they are certain to kill cattle to provide
themselves with food, and the stock men are
the sufferers. We hope that the efforts of
Col. Gardner, the special agent now in the
Territory, to enforce the statute to this effect
will be successful. But by all means Col.
Gardner should come to Benton and inter-
view our stock men if he wants to get at the
true inwardness of the depreciation business.

In Illinois the Court is yet more decided,
saying: "While the directors very properly
have large and discretionary powers in re
gard to the management and control of
schools, they have no power to make class
distinctions, nor can they discriminate be-
tween scholars on account of their color,
race or social position. They cannot main
tain q separate school solely to instruct three
or four colored children of the dirtrict when
these children can be accommodated at the
school house with the other scholars of the
district. And if the directors attempt to do
SO they may be. enjoined. Any taxpayer has
a right to interfere to pregent the public
funds from being used in such unauthorized
manner"
In other States similar decisions have been
reached, all hold at least that colored pupils
cannot be expelled from public school unless
separate schools are established for them,
which shall be in no degree inferior to those
for the white children, while the bulk of de-
cisions seem to be to the effect that no pupil
can be excluded on account of race distinc-
ton. The proposition that we shall be
taxed 81, 900 or 81, 500 a year for the nour-
ishment of a petty prejudice is not one
which will commend itself to the taxpayers.
The intelligent people of Benton are above
this narrow-minded ignorance which, if car
ried out, would destroy the efficiently of our
schools and involve the district in an inter-
| minable law suit. FREE SCHOOLS.

The Legal Status OF The ColOred Pupil

BENTON, January "a, 1882.
To the RIVER PRESS.
There has been considerable loose talk on
the streets concerning the legal aspect OF the
colored pupils, and the Territorial Superin-
tendent has given us his opinion upon the
subject. It shoulu be remembered, however,
that in Montana the Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction is a mere fgurehead, without
authority. and whose opinion is merely the
opinion of one man. The only place where
the question can be really tested is in courts
of law of competent jurisdiction. It may
be interesting and instructive to look at a few
of these decisions.
The Supreme Court of Michigan held that
ga mandamus would be awarded to compel
the admission of a colored pupil into the pub
lie schools where white children were taught
although separate schools for colored child
rem had been established
The Supreme Court of Iowa held that the
Board of School Directors had no discre-
tionary power to require colored children to
attend a separate school,"
Tn California the court held: eff schools
for colored children are not established they
cannot be excluded from the schools kept for
white pupils" In this State the law was
very similar to our own save that they includ-
Indians and Mongolians as colored pupils
In Nevada the court held "Where the
trustees of q pnblic school refused to admit a
negro between the ages of six and eighteen,
and q resident Of the district, as . pupil into
such school; held, that an application for 9
mardamus to compel such admission should
be granted, and Sec. 30 of the school law,
in so far as it excludes negroes from the pub
lie schools, is unconstitutional
