and their families. Fifteen new houses have
been built already this spring and as many
more are in progress of erection already or are
soon to be begun. Comparatively few of the
houses are rented, most of them being occupied
by their owners. The paint brush is being
literally spread over the older houses, an i'm
provement that has been much needed. Ono
thing that has retarded the growth of Centre.

class of houses is the fact that the most of the
town is built Upon mining claims upon which
as yet no patents have been issued. Parties

Of the ground upon which it was built was un

About every other family boards f ON two to
thirty men. The American Hotel has been re-
vised and enlarged and is receiving a new coat
of paint. J.B Williams. just above, has added
some improvements to his establishment. The
old house of Faraday's known in Centerville as
"rhe Large Boarding House. is In full blast I'M

Dan Cameron has sold out his saloon and gone

Ihe Alice during the past three years. ana INC
main work ngs' continue to produce their

Coming from all the workings of the mine, L. Is
not quite clear why the south ve:n' should be

Lynn Refuses to Fight.

The following clipped from the San Francisco
Chronicle of the 9Th may he Of interest to our
local sports. as Billy Lynn is pretty well known
in Butte: 9TH sparr'ng match announced to
AXE pl 'ce last evening between Billy Lynn. an
Arizona miner, and Billy Hamilton, Of San Jose,
did not come of. After q preliminary scrap
ping matc1 between Jack Brady, who expects
to meet Mitchell in a fight on the q h inst. and
Tom Cleary, Of Philadelphia, in which Cleary
was nearly used up, n. l.. Levy, the master OF
cere monies, climbed on to the stage and an
nounced that Billy Lynn refused to fight. He
asked the audi. nee what he should do under
the circumstances and there wasa general cry
Of Give back the money! Levy hen said the
money would be 'estored at the box office as the
audience went out About three-fourths of the
number present left at once; the rest remained
in hopes that a fight could be made betweent the
two men.
I don't fight for nothing sneered Lynn.
sThere aim, enough money in the house to pay
expenses. I'm no shoeblack.'
Nat Goodwin was ono of the few who wanted
to see a fight. He wanted to back Hsmiiton for
$3.50 against Lynn. After a good deal OF blus'
tering Lynn confessed that he could not put up
the money and the crowd dispersed.

A Speck Of War.


SAN Francisco, July 11.-Bear-
lrg on the dispatch from Paris last
night that war bet ween France and
China is believed to be inevitable
the Call this morning publishes a
long article on information previous
~ received from high reliable sources
confirming. the statement, and also
publishes a letter from TsO Tsung
Lang, military grand secretary,
d.ted at Tsein, May 10, 1884, to a
wealthy and influential Chinaman
of this city, announcing the deter
mlnation to combat the French and
ordering that q tax be levied upon
all Chinese here, and Denver, New
York and elsewhere in the United
States for the purpose Of providing
funds for the imperial treasury. A
half million dollars raised in this
way were sent to China July 1st on
the steamer Toxic, and a like amount
will be forwarded by next steamer.
Another letter received through Tung
King Sing, president of the China
Merchants Steam Navigation Com
pany, referring to the previous one,
says q secret treaty was ma ie IN De-
cember, 1883, betW cen Germany and
China whereby the former will sup
port the latter in a war with France.
In return Germany is to receive a
suzerainty Ove the Island of For

Police Court,

MOI one case in the City Cont to-day. The
force might have gone off fishing, but the wind
was high, the dust was flying and they were
afraid they might be wanted at home. The
way home was long aud tedious and he X ew
tina, when he got home the bed was hard. so
he found a soft heap of dirt in the alley back
of the Virginia hotel and lay down to pleasant
dreams. He slept so loud that two i~mpecunious
individuals concluded to examine into the
extent of his relics While they were engaged
in this work he awoke and demonstrated. One
of the men rebukel him with his fist and
told him 1t was not proper for q man
to wake up while he was be ng rolled" But
the victim not caring for pr prieties continued
to remonstrat., when :"roller" No. 2 tried to
bring him to pro ~orieties by kicking him on the
head. A stranger happening along thought he
saw a fight, and standing off viewed part OF the
affair from a distance. A policeman hearing
the disturbance started to the scene. The two
robbers ran away. The quiet citizen started 10
head them eff, when a second policeman COM
ing from a different direction naobed him ana
the real culprits escaped. the man was re-

Military Myths.

The growth of military myths is a
curious yet familiar phenomenon.
Men who are sober and disposition
ate enough in other things, who in
the general business of life, or when
dealing with matters of science or
the events of ordinary history, take
nothing for granted without suffi-
cient evidence, surrender all their
critica faculties a soon as an Incl
dent of val comes on the scene. The
French, so calm and precise when
treating of scientific subjects, are no
toriously untrustworthy when they
come to write about military events.
Victor HugO's romance of Waterloo
was almost equalled in absurdity by
Lamartine's account of the battle, in
which we are told how Napoleon
stood over a shell, on the point OF
bursting, in order to encourage the
army, as if the whole army could
see him performing this ridiculous
feat: and how he made his cavalry
the whole Of them apparentlY-dis-
mount aud uufasten the curb-chalns
of their horses brides, in order t o
give greater impetus to their charge.
There's accounts, also, of many battles
in which the French were engaged,
are for the most part thoroughly I'M
trustworthy. But the creation of
myths is not limited to the Frenchs
We f]atter ourselves that We are q
common-sense people, not given to
brag and buster; but the way in
which some of our newspapers talk
about the army, is enough to make
the readers ashamed of themselves.
A newspaper, for example in describ-
ing the arrangements for the Duke
of Connaught's marriage, tells Us
how "that true soldier, the Red
Prince" is sure to go into raptures
of delight on seeing our magnificent
Horse Guards ; al If it required one
to be a true soldier in order not to see
that magnificence does not consist in
a horse being obviously over-weighled
by the ~long-legged man Who be-
strides it. It is an Article of faith
with most English people that the
French cavalry actually charged our
squares at Waterloo, and were re.
pulsed at the point Of the hayonet
and we have been told over and over
again, that u troops in the Indian
mu'iny went through the campaign
with compressed lip and flashing
eye Saturday ReuieW.
