Conflicting Reports.

There are many and various answers to
the question often put: "How is Butte,
Montana 2" Our information is that
things are overdone up there, but that
there is a great deal Of business and a
great number of men at work in the mines,
which are said to be extensive and rich.
In this connection we may quote a para
graph from the Virginia Chronicle on the
subject, which gives the views Of several
Comstockers on the Montana country:
DR.. Robinson, formerly of this city,
who has lately planted stakes in Butte
City, Montana, is not satisfied with the
place or its prospects, as appears from let
ters to parties here. 1t is curious how
many contradictory reports come from
that section. For every dissatisfied one
there is another more than pleased. Den
mis- Nevin and Mr.. Hayes speak highly OIL
the country. A few years ago, it will be
remembered, Herpan Hoist kept the Sen
ate saloon and failed. He had to walk out
of town, and landed at Butte City with
81 in his pocket. Now, from last accounts,
he is rich, owning a valuable mine and
running a irst-clsss restaurant and sa.
loon. Last year he and his family took
six months tour through Europe. Such
is the latest story from there. Go thou
and do likewise-if you can.

A Mad Mule Attacks "a Man.

EUFAuKA, Ala, Aug. 26.-Mr. Punch
Doughtie, 3 wealthy farmer living a few
miles from this city, and who came in to-
day to find q cure for h~ydrophobis in
mules, relates that on Saturday he rode
out at the request Of a field hand to in
spect the condition of one of his mules,
which was acting strangely. When he
reached the pasture, where a dozen mules
were, the animal Mr.. Doughtie was riding
neighed, which attracted the attention of
the other animals, the sick one in psrticu-
lar, which Immediately rushed on the
mule and rider and seized the saddled
animal with his teeth. Doughtie dis
mounted and succeeded in loosing the mad
mules hold, but no sooner was this done
thar the Infatuated beast turned his atten-
ton to his owner, who fed for his life,
pursued by the mule. There was q des-
perate race for a quarter of q mile through
the u~ndergrowth, and Mr.. DoughtIe only
saved himself by lodging around sapliDgs.
A small stretch of clearing interviewed be-
tween the woods and the house, and the
terrified man took a life-and-death chance
in making il. The mule succeeded in
securing a portion of Doughtie's coat, and
while m~aneuvering around a tree the mule
bit himself savagely in several places,
tearing ont q mouthful Of flesh each time.
The race for the house WAS made, and just
as Doughtie reached the top of a fence the
mule overlook him on q dead rum, but in
stead Of reaching his victim he struck his
head against the fencepost and was
knocked senssless. The mule was after

Editor Dennis of the Times-Review
points out a very remarkable fact in the
recent history of the Republican party OF
Nevada. He quotes their party platforms
of 1882 and 1854, aud shows that two years
ago they declared for the calling of a Con-
stitutional Convention and that the plat
form adopted by them on the 3D. INST. recon-
mends that the party vote against calling
such a convention. He, also, raps Gen
Powning smartly on the knuckles for his
peculiar and conspicuous attitude on this
proposition-on both sides OF the fence
within two years. An explanation Is In

And now comes that pliant-spoken, bluff
gentleman, a "tsr" in the earlier days. A.
A. Andre, who has shown that he is q
worthy landsman, too, and no lubber, and
he modestly asks our Republican friends
to consider him as a candidate for the
nomination at their hands for CLERK OF
Eureka county. We do not hesitate to
vouch for Mr.. Andre, though they do say
of us that we run a partisan sheet. His cler-
ical ability, his readiness with the pen and
his general intelligence are qualities thai
fit him for the office he seeks. We believe
there is nobody that knows the aspirant
but will say that he would make a good,
faithful, No. l County Clerk. His many
friends will vouch for him aud assure the
people that their interests will be safe IN
his bands. Go in, old salt and make
the fur fly, if they get in your way.
