Trip to Helena.

The steamer Coahoma is to leave
here Sunday for a daylight run to
Helena and back. A round trip by
this vessel can be made for 81, and the
voyage is dirt cheap at that figure.
Such a trip, now the country is over
flowed, will afford those not familiar
With flood scenes a chance to see the
devastation committed by the great
overflow. We have had overhows
before this, many Of a destructive
character, and several doubtless as

about the 10th of June the whole
country was under on both sides, many

trees, because there was no dry land
anywhere nearer than fifteen or twenty
miles. Again in May and June, 1862,
the overflow was immense, and many
contend the distress caused by both

the people of the valley, and no crops
were grown on many hundreds of
places. This year is a notable event.
though as compared with those alluded
to, it is less disastrous, and a history

wide discussion. A chance to see

COW CATCmER
Caught with a Hide Which BE.
trays Him.

About three weeks ago 9 fine Jersey
heller, owned BY MI. w. B. Mallory,
was stolen from the Hanauer place
and no clue could be obtained to the
thieves.
About 10 o'clock this morning Mr..
John Scheibler notified the police
that a darby had just sold him a hide
which he was satisfied had been stolen.
1t was readily recognized from the
color as Mr.. Mallory's heifer, though
the tail and the hide from the head
had been cut of. Detective Pryde
soon found the darky who sold the
hide to Mr.. Scheibler, and asked him
where the head and tail were. He
answered they were on Mr.. Perkins
place, nine miles from the cite where
he lived, and asserted that the COW
was his.
Glenn Harris was set to watch the
darky, and Detective Pryde started off
to hunt up other testimony, but the
negro was too sharp for Glen, and gave
him the slip at the first crossing,
sprineing from his wagon and running
like a deer. The police now have his
team. He drove a white horse and a
light bay mule, both in thin order.
The wagon was an old one, loaded
with oak and ash wood cut into stove
sticks. An old barrel also set in the
wagon, and a bucket, from which the
driver had been selling butter. The
owner will find his team at the station
house.

EIGBTY LASIEES q
History Repeating Itself at the
StatiOnhOuse, Formerly a
Slave Market.

The sensation of the morning wa.
the thrashing of Amos Ellis aud Joe
johnson, the little bootblacks convict.
ed Wednesday of petty larceny.
Just as court was about to adjourn
the mother of the elder boy, Amos
arrived, and finding that the thrashinp
had not been administered, begged to
be allowed to inhict it herself. A
cowhide was given her, and Amos
pulled off his coat and knelt on the
ground before her. The blows fell
fast and thick upon Amos shirt. but
never a tear did he shed. The full
forty lashes were given with only one
short breathing spell, and Joe, who
had been a deeply interested specta-
tor, stripped for the fray. The woman
refused to whip any but her own child,
and Amos was given the blue whis-
tier and told to lay it on. The
boys eyed each other a few moments,
then smiled, and a second after the
cowhide came whistling down upon
Joe's shoulders with a suddenness
that made him give a leap like a jack
rabbit. He soon became calm, how
ever, and kept screwing his face as the
blows descended until the end of his
nose was in danger oftwisting of.
mot so hard Amos" he was heard
to mutter as number thirty de-
scended.
Amos" said he at No. 80, "ifyou
hit me that hard agin I'll mop the
pavement with your head when l get
out of this h&re place."
Joe stood it like a soldier, however,
and as No. 40 fell he looked around
without a tear in his eye.
The mother of the second boy then
begged to be allowed to give him his
second installment then and take him
home.
"You might throw him into convul-
stems" suggested the President.
Not a bit of danger, said the old
darby, and both boys were given forty
more a piece and released. Joe's pros.
poets were good for another dose when
he got home. He was crying a little,
but the younger was calm and looked
wickedly at the big boy as he walked
away.

AATREET BATTLE
Between the BrlttOns and the
BOdkins.

A rather serious difficulty occurred
last night on the river front between
A. Bodkins and some friends and JAS.
Bsitton. his son and a darby named
l.. A. Mccoy.
BOdkins states hat BrittOn came
near driving over his party, and fol-
lowed up the injury by insult and ieul
abuse and that he went home and soon
afterward returned with a gun, accom-
panied BY his son who was armed with
q pistol. y In the melee the younger
Britton's pistol went off, the ball strik-
ing his father in the side Of the head
instead of hurting Bodkins, for whom
it was intended. Bodkins' party finally
overpowered Britton's and called the
police, who lodged them 10 the station
house.
Britton's story is entirely different,
and the truth will not be known until
trial, tomorrow. 1t was a most dis
graceful row, at any rate.

wild Animals should be Led,
Not Driven Loosely.

The outrageous and exceedingly
dangerous practice Of driving mules
and cattle heller skelter through the
streets, is a source of serious and de
served complaint, and it cries aloud
for reform.
If our authorities will give ear to
this subject and devote a little thought
to planning a remedy, they will be re-
warded with the approval ofmany cit
liens.
Yesterday a drove Of mules went
tearing down Beal street causing two
runaways. A spring wagon was brok.
en- to pieces, and the other team was
stopped before harm resulted. A
horse and phaeton, tho latter contain.
ing two ladies', came very near being
wrecked. The horse became FESTIVE
and but for a pssserby, who ran and
held the animals third smash up might
have been added to the list. Besides
all this two lady wayfarers made a
narrow escape from being run over.
Many persons in the vicinity Of
Beal and Second streets witnessed the
incident alluded to, and all expressed
indignation at what they beheld.
The narrow escape by the ladies in
the phaeton afforded an especial sub
ject for strong comment. and all
agreed at once that the dangerous
custom Of driving animals loose about
the streets, with bowling herders
cracking whips and yelling like In
dians or COW boys on a Western
prairie, should be stopped at once. A
few solid fines would exercise a salu-
tary effect, and a bill of damages for
the broken wagon might soothe the
feelings Of the stock owners.
The city ordinance says: mo cattles
mule OF hog, or any dangerous or
offensive animal shall be allowed ty
any owner, or by any person having
charge Of the same, to go at large in
any street or public place" The PEN
atty for a violation Of the foregoing is
a fine Of from one to fifty dollars.
A few fines, with a bill or two for
damages, might exercise a salutary
effect.

Of SOL COLEMAN'S No. los
AHUsEMLNTs.
FIoOd Concert.

The concert to night for the benefit
Of the food sufferers, by the Mozart
Society, promises to be an interesting
entertainment, and though worth much
more, the price Of admission was set
at fifty cents, TO permit all classes of
citizens to participate and contribute.
Among the features of the concert is
a grand chorus from Rossini's Moses
in Egypt. THE Heavens are tell
ing, from Haydn's Creation; "Infam
atus," from Rossini's masterpiece; the
"Stabat Mater" and a duo from Web
er's Der Freischutz." The Oriola
Octette, or double quartette, will also
contribute to the programme, and a
young lady from New Orleans is to
sing. In the three first named selec-
tons the entire Club will assist in the
chorus. There are other selections
not mentioned herein, and, on the
whole, such an attraction for such an
object ought to draw a crowd.
Strangers Church Concert.
A great many tickets have been sold,
and if the weather continues favorable
Leubrie's theater will be we'll filed
tomorrow night. The programme
elsewhere speaks for itself and appeals
to the best musical taste of the city,
whilst the low price Of fifty cents
brings it easily within the reach of all
who appreciate a f~rst-class concert, or
may be willing to aid in the effort to
enlarge a popular little church.

close conjunctions between some Of
the planets, and Jupiter, Saturn
and Mars will be conspicuous in
the evening sky during the Winter

mites for observation to those who
possess telescopes.
The expected comet of 1872 has
not yet put in appearance. As
seme astronomers think that the
last comet discovered in 1881 may
be the long lost Lexelps comet,
which nobody expected to see
again after Jupiter kicked 1t out
as an intruder In his family moons,
it may not be too much to hope
that the stupendous comet Of 1854,
which is now more than twenty
years overdue, will also pay the
sun another visit and make the
night brilliant with the glories Of
it's train.
The period of disturbance In the

Cornelius Vanderbilt is building
. stable In Fifty.eighth street,
New York, which will excel every
thing of the kind In the world.
The front is in the renaissance
style, with elegant carvings, but
the first story rests on Gothic
arches. The interior looks like q
Moorish temple, and being lighted
from the roof, the effect is very
fine. Twisted columns are set in
curtains of pressed brick, which
are ornamented by panels designed
by a botanist and embracing what
ever Is beautiful in vegetation.
The divisions in the stables are
columns of polished brass with
ornate capitals. The chief stable
man has q room In q tower whence
he watches all that is done below,
and the hostlers are provided with
elegant accommodations. Ne
wood is used in this or in
any other of Vanderbilts struc-
lures when iron can be substi-
tuted. and probably tne best thing
about the stable is the fact that it
is fire proof. Cornelius and Will
lam K. each inherited two millions
