In a breach of promise suit in Mon
tana, not long ago, the plaintiff said
that the defendant, having clearly I'M
derstood the date fixed for the wedding,
had failed to appear on that important
day. He afterward bad come to the
house, but she, being angry set the dog
on him. The defendant admitted that
a day had been named for the ceremony
and further said that he intended to be
present as per agreement. "Then,"
said the Judge, "why did you not ap-
pear ?" "Well, Judge, the fact is [

A drunken miner named Jack Blan-
chard tried to kill another miner named
John Blount, in a State street saloon,
in Leadville, on Thursday, by shooting
at him from behind. The bartender
struck Blanchard's pistol aside just In
time to prevent the bullet from enter
ing Blount's skull. The latter then
drew his revolver, and an indiscrimi-
nate interchange of shots took place
between him and Blanchard, and
though ten shots were fred nobody was
hurt. The police then arrived ard put
a stop to the fusillade by arresting both
shootists. The row grew out of a dis
puted pot in a game of stud horse"
poker.
At noon on Friday William Burrill,
John Pollock and a Mexican brought
into town a horse thief named Lewis B.
Jennings, who, with coyote BILL" a
noted character, stole four horses heal
Del Norte, yesterday. The news of the
theft soon spread, and the above party
followed the thieves, capturing Jen-
nings and three horses on Mosco Pass,
Coyote Bill jumping his horse and
escaping to the hills, but not before he
was wounded by the bullets of the party
following him. Darkness came on or
he would have been caught.
Railroad Gazette {:
Miss Carpenter, manager at Alamosa
telegraph office, has a little brother up
in Iowa, to whom she shipped a Mexi-
can burro. The freight of the animal
cost five times its price, hence by the
time 1t reached the land of billiards.
and pork it was a very valuable present
as well as a curiosity. Alas, the poor
burro did something In Iowa burros are
never known to do in this country. 1t
laid down and died about a week after
its arrival there. 1t died of a surfeit
brought on by feeding him oats, corn, |
ice cream, raw oysters, &c. 1t missed
the s%ucculent cactus, the juicy fruit can
and the invigorating alkali water of its
native haunts. They should have
brought it around to the customs of
civilization gradually by feeding it
cookie burs, oyster cans, and occasion
ally a pair of gum boots by way OF lux
ury for a while until its digestive
organs could manage the others. A
burro properly fed aud cared for is a
useful and melodious bird, and when
1t will sing its sweet songs all
night.

There is good reason to assert that
the report of the house committee on
foreign affairs on the Chilli and Peru
investigation will not reflect on any
United States officer.
The committee on judiciary has as
certained that Majors, recommended in
April for admission to the house, as ad-
ditional member from Nebraska, was
officially informed in February that nc
official census of Nebraska was taken
In 1872.
John r. Popham, superintendent Of
the folding room, house Of representa-
tives, hos been arrested on the charge

An admendment of Mr.. Beck's was
adopted reducing from 81, 900. 900 to
$400, 900 the appropriation for the COM
pletion of the Miontonomah and launch

prohibiting the completion Of the four
vessels without further orders of con
gress, and directing the naval advisory
board to report as to the advisability of
their completion.
There was a special meeting of the
cabinet to-day to consider the river and
harbor bill. All the members were
present except Secretary Chandler. The
bill was discussed and final action
decided upon. The greatest secrecy is
maintained as to the conclusion. There
was an understanding between the
President and the members of his cabi-
net that nothing whatever should be
diyulged as to the result of to-day's
deliberations. One fact, however,
known in this connection is that that
the President will send a communities
tion to the house of representatives on
the subject on Monday next.
1t is generally believed that the river
and harbor bill was decided at the
cabinet meeting to-day, but the secret
is well kept, and the members Of the
cabinet, who are in the city, refuse tc
give any information as to what tran:
spired at the meeting to-day, or even tt
admit that the river and harbor bill
was under consideration The opinion
generally expressed by the senators ant
members is that the bill will be vetoed
for the reasons mentioned in the dis
patches last night; but those mos
interested in the bill, including thu
chairmen of the commerce COMMITTEES
of the two houses, insist that it will
receive the Presidents approval.

impression is that congress at the latest

the only vote taken yesterday there was
but just a quorum. 1t is not expected
there will be a quorum in the house
