Social Hint from Japan.

The japanese are Justly believed
to be the politest people in the
world. They will not even tell a
lie, not because it is immoral. but
because it is impo'ite. But Japa-
nese politeness is something pot TO
pretty severe tests. A Boston lady
brought back from Washington an
illustrative Instance. \ japanese
gentleman made what was supposed
to be merely a ceremonial call on a
lady, and fingered till lunch.time.
OF course be was asked to STAY, and
was expected to refuse, but he
didn't. And still he stayed, until
necessity compelled his invitationsto
dinner. And yet he fingered, till
at midnight. with elaborate, almost
abject apologies for leaving. the
japanese gentleman took his depar.
tnre. Next day, while the hostess
was telling her friends how horribly
she had been bored, her visitor was
deploring her cruelty in not earlier
in the day intimating to him that he
might depart. japanese etiquette

Rich Silver Discoveries.

HELENA. MONT, Nov. 29.-There
is intense excitement here over the
rich silver discoveries in Red Moun-
tain, a few miles southwest OF
Helena. No less then twelve tunnel
companies have been organized and
work commenced by the most oil
them in excavating tunnels into the
mountains. This mountain is full
of silver leads. and these companies
propose TO tap them 10y tunnels.
Already there have been some rich
strikes, and as the work Of tunnel.
ing progresses, there will be more
richness discovered. The Mineral,
Red Mountain, Katie Putnam. Grand
Central and Nellie Grant have each
struck leads, and, as a consequence
the shares of the companies made
a big jump, some shares selling as
high $3.50. Mining experts pro-
nonnce this mountain the richest sill
yer field ever discovered. and the
PEOPLE os Helena are going their
all on it.
Since the first discovery of gold
in this section there has been no
such excitement as has now taken
possession of the people of Helena.
Everybody, men, women and chill,
dren, is buying and selling mining
stocks. Rimini is the name of the
new town or camp at the base of
Red Mountain. and everything is
booming there. Houses and stocks
are going up with great raridity,
and in a few months Rimini will be
a good-sized city. People who have
nothing to live upon hut the income
from their daily labor had better

here to do all the work that is 10 be
done. Smelter and reduction works
will soon he under way Of construc-
ton, which is conclusive evidence
that the discoveries are real. The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
has surveyed a route, and will soon
be at work building a railroad from
Helena to Red Mountain. which is a
certain Indication that Red Noun
tain has come to stav.

Our Silver Weddina.

Last Thursday will be a day long
to be remembered by those who had
the pleasure of participating in the
celebration of the silver wedding of
Mr.. E. I. Addison and his amia5le
and devoted wife, nee Marie A..
Blanchet. At the hour announced
to be present at the family residence
small squads Of individuals could be
seen coming in different directions.
apparently full bent on having a
good time generally. Soon after the
last Of the crowd had gathered in
dinner was announced. The table
was gloated with viands and vegeta-
bles Of various kinds, and the spark
ling wine flowed freely but gently,
accompanied with beautiful and ap-
propriate toasts to the NEWLY mar
ried" couple. Sweet meats were
next served, with a bottle of cham.
payne, bought at the time OF their
marriage, of which each and every
one presert took a sip. Then came
the cutting of the widows cake, in
which the writer took part, assisted
by one Of Lo%uisiana's most charming
and beautiful widows. Really, we
felt wonderful happy for awhile. The
evening was spent in a social dance.
Such a reunion of a whole family
is seldom witnessed anywhere--from
the great grandmother to the great
grandchildren were present on this
occasion, and each strived to make
one another happy with mirth and
merry song. To the couple who
have just celebrated their silver
wedding, we wish them, on their
further journey through life, mild
winds and a calm sea, and may the
silver thread just spun be entwined.

of a wedding Of gold.
