About twenty minutes past nine

4. first the occurrence which letl to this
....n,b.age did not SEEM Of very serious
;.,uort. but in view of after develop
mems it assumes different aspec..
Il seems the facts are these, Mrs.
thompson was sitting reading alone u
nor room up stains, her husband being
.ut on professional l'n~iness. The SER
amt eirl was in the kitchen. There was
light in the dining rn'm on the first
aoor and small table on which the sill
Ger ware il usually kept, istood just in
f,ont Of the window. The servant giri
hard a noise outside and told M..
thompson Of It. The lady very brsvely
,ot out her revolver looked ar,und, and
seeinx nothing, laid the pistol on the
I'D in her room. which was just over
~ dining room. In about ten minutes
ne crash Of broken glass was heard
helow giving ummistakable evil
l.uce that another 1t those bare
faced attempts ut burglary which
have been 80 frequent in Butte Of late
ms going on ut the time.
Seizing the pistol Mn. Thompson ran
h the upper window and fired ut the fig
ure Of man which was dimly visible in
the yard, and then going down into the
yard she fired aga. n ut the rapidly re-
treating form, a. 1t vanished wextward
an the alley. When the lust shot was
fred she was standing at the mo 'th Of
the alley looking westward. An exam
;u.tion revealed the fact that the hole
IN the dining-rtsOm window was just
over the catch which fastened the sash
down, evidently made for the purpose
Of turning the catch and ef1trting
N entrance. As 1t happened, however
there were no val,,ables on the table or
in the room. 1t was quite dark ct the
time. and although the no sc was light
81 ~, the burglar, II such h. was,
prolably supposed the family at prayer
me. ting. This is only another ilIlstra-
ton Of the necessity ut this time for all
god citizens to keep . close watch for
thieves and to shoot when there is good
reason to believe their targets are saspf-
q Us characters. Premature shutting

person is liable to he injured. The
courage and energy displayed by Mrs.
Thompson are deserving Of hi h
praise, and 60 to illustrate the fact, for
Il is a fact, th,t the ladies Of Butte have
not lived III the West for nothing, and
ut only know how to shoot but pro-
pe.e t. make practical use Ut their
kn"wlr1ge.
An armed patrol was on duty last
night all over city. They mean b'i-

Domestic Silk.

It may interest some of our fair read
ers to know that fully one-half of the
silk goods in the United States now are
of domestic manufacture. To be &C.
curate, the value of those made here
last year was in round figures 1874, $780,
00O, while the value of those imported
was $S1, 800. 900, or So, 600, 900 less. In
the matter of ribbons American manu-
facturers sell twice as much as their
European competitors, while they have
almost monopoly of the handkerchief
trade. In dress trimmings, too, the
American is far ahead, the value of his
manufactures being over $4,000, 900. as
against $1.500.000 of the foreigners.
The latter has the advantage, though.
in point of dress goods, which aggre-
gate over one-haH of the entire value
ofimported elk goods, or OVERSIZE, OOO.-
600, while the value of American goods
of the same character is but little over
$7,000,000. In machine twist and sew
ing silk the American manufacturer has
the market all to himself again, the
value of his productions in that line
during the year being over 1000, 900.
When the value of the raw silk is de-
Quoted from the total value of the goods
turned out by domestic manufacturers,
it appears that the cost Of manufacture
is equal to fully two-thirds the total
value. The raw silk imported last year
at New York and San Francisco, which
are the only two ports where it is re-
ceived in any quantity, was returned as
valued at little over 81. 900, 900, of
which China furnished more than one
half, or $4,000. 600 worth, the quota of
Japan being $3,5O0,000, while Europe
furnished but 81, 500, 900 worth. ~ =.

Ben Buffers Apnetite.

Ben Butler is one of the biggest eaters
that visit the Fifth Avenue Hotel, saws
New York correspondent of the St
Louis Republican. He devours an
enormous quantity of meat, vegetables,
milk, coffee, salads, and sweets. A
chicken disappears before him as
though he was Methodist preacher,
and it was partridge. He doesn't
affect wines. At his home he has
several varieties upon his table, but he
drinks only about tumblerful of
sherry. If he wants drink he takes
glass of Jamaica rum. or the states
mans drink, brandy. He eats four
meals day, and is never troubled with
indigestion. He smokes cigars that are
strong enough to knock marine over.
Yet he prides himself upon his tempe
rate life, to which he traces much of his
prosperity. At table gathering recent
~, where he was host, the conversation
turned upon good feeding as basis
for intellectual work, and pending the
brief drawn arguments passing to and
fro curious smile curved over Buffers
face, his elephantine eyelids trembled
with motion enough to show CLEAN
from the enigmatical eyes beneath, and
leaning back from a heavy meal. which
seemed to distend his whole body, he
recited with most comical effect, in
view of his astonishing appetite, the
following:
cannot eat but little meat,
My stomach is not good,
But sure I think that can drink
With him that wears hood;
Though go bare, take ye no care,
nothing am a-cold;
1stuf my skin so full within
OF jolly good ale and old.

immigration South.

The South Carolina Board of Immi-
grafton encourage immigration in that
direction. The bureau. which is under
the superintendent of Col. E. NJ.
Boykin, receives application from far
mers, planters, manufacturers, families,
ETC.. for help Of all kinds, from tailors
to house servants, accompanied in
cases where it is necessary, with an ad-
vance of the passage money. The inn
migrants are supplied by the bureau
either from those arriving in New York
or through correspondents in Germany.
The passage money, which was at first
deducted from the first wages earned,
is now repaid by the Immigrants in
three monthly installments. They con-
tract with their employers to remain in
their service certain length of time
long enough, at least, to work out their
debt. Most Of the immigrants thus far
have been Germans, anu none of them
speak English. but pains are taken to
explain to them fully the nature of their
contracts with their employers. and in
only one or two instances have any of
them shown any disposition to evade
their obligations.
The indications are that large num-
Der of hands from this new source of
supply will be secured this fall and
winter with view to their more gem
eral employment in raising next years
cotton crop. The first seasons expert
ence must be accounted successful.

Where q Lying Machine Failed in Power.


Recently a Nevada man invented a ~
ing machine and went around trying to
sell EN-. The machine was warranted
to trot out q first-class lie on any sub
ject at moments notice. But it didn't
sell we'll. He took it first to horse
trader. Said the trader: ':Comc, you
get out of this. 1 always tell the truth
in my business The inventor pre-
sented it to q lawyer, and he also looked
horr0r-stricken and offended. A fish
ing party looked hankeringly at it. but
their language was to the effect that
they abhorred untruth. A young man
who was engaged to three different
girls also felt indignant at the offer.
At last the dishcartened inventor came
to New York and tried the political ed
itor OF the Evensng E1r,ess. The wri-
ter flew mad in minute. '.You scoun-

Why He Paws the Bills.

Clara Belle AYERS: ..There is no use
in letting your love blind you to the
undeniable fact that every girl of Gull
tured tastes wishes to crafty them; so,
if you take one of these delicate, refined,
sensible creatures for wife, you must
couch her on brocade or your marriage
bed will not be downy with her happi-
ness. Not only are these exquisite
birds DESTROYS of fine plumage,. but
some of them are hindered from flying
away by nothing else. I know wor-
shipful husband whose beautiful young
wife wouldn't rooss in his cage year
if he didn't provide her with just the
kind of feathers her high-held head de-
manded. He knows it, too, and
scratches gravel ri ht lively to satisfy
her dress exactions. He is miserable
now, but thinks he would be more so
if she should fit. He reminds me of
the man who, having inadvertently sat
down on the only outlet of a hornets
nest, resolutely stayed there for hours,
preferring to endure the stings in a
circumscribed area rather than be stungg
all over.''

The reporter confessed that he had.
''Well, did't you see that Old Hutch, ,
has bought the Atlantic Hotel for

Again the scribe made confession.
''Well. that property was offered me
few weeks ago for $75, 600, and I was
foolish enough not to buy. Lay it on,
Isaac; lay it on good and strong,'' and
Ike whacked away with will that made
the dust fly.
