London letter says: The BerLhardt
season continues It's popular course
Houses crowded, enthusiasm great.
Jacques Damala is more liked the more
he is seen, and Sarah is in the seventh
heaven when he gets applauded. If
ever there was mash it is this. Sarah
says Damaia is the only man who ever
made love to her Of whom she felt
afraid; that he exercises an overmaster-
ing power over her, and is capable of
making her do anything he likes. One
look straight in Damala's eyes is enough
to convince the most skeptic that Bern
hardt's husband is nobody's fool. He is
a man of strength, physically and in
tellectually. AS for Sarah-well, if she
was l6, just out of convent, and this
was the first man who ever conjugate
that everlasting verb "to love" to her,
she could not be more so than she is.
No, sir. It's positively delicious to see
such an abject return to Arcadian first
principles. They only want shepherds
crooks, with blue ribbons tied on them,
TO be the Beotian lovers of Vatican
fan. Pope needs re-poping very much,
For hope springs etcrnal,' read love
springs eternal in the human breast )"

Two grand results have followed the
appointment by the senate OF special
committee on woman's suffrage, with
Senator Lapham for chairman. One of
these was the reporting to the senate OF
the text for a sixteenth amendment TO
the constitution of the United States
granting suffrage to women, which re.
port lies in solemn rCpose somewhere
about the clerks desk, never to see the
light of day. The other marked and
valuable result has been the appoint
ment of Senator L.apham's son as clerk
Of the committee, The committee met
thrice and Mr.. Lapham, junior, has
drawn for his service round eleven
hundred dollars. 1t is for such con-
summation as this that the good women
labored with such zeal. Lapham was
their special friend; they dotted on Lap
ham but they took no occount Of the
needs Of Lapham, Junior. When they
sought to have woman named as clerk
Of the committee which was to report
their sixteenty amendment for entomb-
ment, they found young Lapham living,
breathing, hungry fact. The das of de-
liverance for the women Of America
from friends like the Laphams has not
yet dawned. Some other century will
hait it.--Chicago Times.

The Malleys have been acquitted of
the murdur Of Jennie Cramer. The re-
suit was foreseen at the close Of the
prosecution, for no juryman upon the
evidence of the state could be convinced
that beyond reasonable doubt the girl
came to death by reason Of arsenic ad-
ministered by the Malleys and Blanche

A wall of water eight feet high, flow
ing through three canons, swept the
streets of MaIitou Springs, Col. on Sat-
urdav last. One body has been found,
and it feared that several excursionists
in the mountains lost their lives. An
omnibus filed with people was swept
from the street and landed on the rocks,
all escaping with slight injuries. Over
a mile of the Denver and Rio Grande

mated at $4,000. Windows and shrub

We are pleased to be able to inform
our readers that talk in regard to the
evils of assessing office-holders to raise
money for campaign purposes is all non
sense, as the following able editorial
from the Deadwood Times will show =?
The question is forever settled: "a
most vigorous pounding of gongs is going
on all over the country by the demo-
Gratis and SO called independent press
over the Assessment" Of officeholders
for campaign purposes. AS a matter of
fact there is, to begin with, no such
thing as an assessment made. The cam
paign committee has simply addressed
ciscular 10 those who hold Office in the
party, calling their attention to the nec-
essities of the canvass and inviting those
who feel an interest in the success Of the
cause to make small contribution in
aid thereof Yet some who have held
office under republican administration,
drawing liberal salaries, hold back all
financial aid to the party; and it is
amusing to the last degree to witness
their efforts to justify themselves in so
doing. 1t seem to be the custom among
them, particularly in large cities, to
transmit the circulars received from the
committee to some opposition newspa-
per, with request not to make known
the donors name, and then the aforesaid
newspaper at once proceeds to publish
the circular, following it up with loni
disquisitions on the evils of assessing
officeholders, the corrupt use of money
for political purposes, and all that sor
: or nonsense"

The people Of the west are noted for
generosity in answering any appeal for
aid from those in distress, and the peo-
pie of Rapid City and the Black Hills
are as charitable as can be found in any
place throughout the length and breadth
Of the country. This has often been
demonstrated when calls for aid in the
cause Of suffering humanity have met
with generous response. On the fourth
Doc Pcircc and A. Z. Horton circulated
a subscription paper to raise money for
the purpose of procuring for j. II. Leary
a pair of artificial hands. The result
was the collection in a few hours Of the
sum of $50. This is good send off for
the poor fellow, who is wofully MANNED,
having, as our readers are aware, lost
both hands and one eve in giant pow
der explosion at the Grand Junction
mine short time ago. Lcary is a
worthy and deserving man, and has a
wife and one child. His terrible condi.
ton appeals to the hearts of all, and we
are glad to know that our people have
given him so literally. The people of
Rockerville and other camps have also
assisted him, and he appreciates the
generosity, and thanks all from the bot
tom of heart. With the money collect
ed here and in other portions of the
Hills, Leary will be able to purchase ar
titicial hands, with which he may in
some slight manner help himself

RIVER S AND HARBORS.
Progress of the Work in New England
Under Gen. Thom's Charge.

Gen. Wright, Chief of Engineers, received
yesterday the annual report OF Gen. Thorn,
United States engineer in charge of river and
harbor works of New England north OF Prince
ton harbor, Massachusetts, The works under
Gen. Thom's charge have, with few excep-
tions, been in process of completion for years.
One, the improvement of Boston harbor, will
be completed this year. Congress appropriated
$96, 800, the amount estimated as necessary for
this purpose, at the last session. Most Of the
other works in this district are works of minor
Importance. During the year just closed sub
stantial progress was made at all OF the works
for which adequate appropriations were made.
The amounts appropriated in the river and
harbor bill for the works in this district except
the appropriation for Boston harbor, are less
than the estimates submitted by Gen. Thorn.
These appropriations are as follows, some OF the
works failing to receive anything: Improving
harbor, Portland, Me-, $35, GOO; improving har-
Dor, Richmond, Me-, $4,000; improving har-
Dor, Roekland, Me-, constructing breakwaters,
