to the virtue of the Hon. John W. Deering?
1t wasn't the Hon. John W. Deering him

The Portland daily press., 1885-03-02

To vote for John w. Deering is to vote to
try second time an experiment which has
been once tried and failed. John w. Deer

Of the city. Even the Democrats who are
supporting him, privately confess as much.

There seems to be no doubt that the break

cost so many lives and so nearly proved dis
astrous to Stewards contingent, now under

nation and impetuosity Of Captain Burnaby.

order from President Cleveland, = de-
tachment of the Tenth infantry ar

berly and Hexenbau9h. slayers of

And Red River Tom, in their attack
On the officers ii Jail, Monday last.
While many ofthe COW boy avengers
fft town last night, many remained
determined to avenge the death Of
their comrades as soon as the officers
made their appearance. OF this
the latter were advised, hence the
request Of the Governor for q nili-
tary escort out Of town. On the ar
rival of the train the inhabit ,nts
flocked to the house tops, and the
fireatest excitement prevailed, - 1T
was expected an attack would be-
made on the soldiers. An attempt
was made to seize the officers and
hang them. No demon stration was
made, however. and the train ar.
rived at Las Vegas ut eight this even-
ing. The desperate Currie was the
same who shot and killed the actor,
Porter, some years ago, and the Mar
shal of Texas, while the latter was
trying to shield some ladies from in

Several iuterrOgatories at once
were put. but Gladstone declined to
answer them and deprecated any fur
ther questioning of the Government
at present.
Gladstone in connection with the
Afghan Inquiries stated the demands
of the British Government for the
withdrawal of Russians from their
advanced position had lapsed. This
announcement was received with
ironicsl cheers.
Harcourt stated England would not
ask France to rescind the order of
arrest and expulsion of Stephens, be-
eau. e it was not y matter in which
England had any right to interfere.
He believed Stephens had not been
subjected to actual arrest, but simply
ordered to leave france.

A Decided Hit.

The bon-bon social given on rollers
st tue Butte Pavilion last night was a
grand success. There were fully l25
couples on the floor, the ais!es and
dress circle being comfortably filled
with spectators. At 8 o'clock the
bon. bons were distributed, during
the grand MAJ Oh, which was a pleas
ing sight. This march has proven q
decided hit, and its being performed
nightly tends to draw large numter
of skaters to participate in it. The
new management Is certainly active
in its efforts to put forward such nov
elites as have never before been at
tempted in rinks ard the crowded
houses they draw on such occasions
are ample proof OF their success.

sPR1Naf1ELb, March ls.-It is
generally conceded here tonight that
there will be Z, vote taken tomorrow
in the house for senator, but IT will
be one-sided. The Democrats are
marshalling their forces and expect
to put In solid front, while the Re-
publicans will not. The conse-
quences will be that the latter vii!
not vote. This evening an associated
press reporter asked Gen.. Logan
what he thought of the outlook for
Tomorrow and he replied he could
not then tell as there were or 8 Re-
puo.icans away and he was not sure
they would be back tomorrow in
time to vote. The Democrats have
made the assertion .that q senator
would be elected Tomorrow, but it is
not probable.

Getting Into the Swim.

A young man comes to New York
from the country, and the first thing
that strikes him isn't the beauty Of
other peoples clothes. not the ele-
gance of his companions att'r but
his own rusty boots, his own miitens
and his car. They seem out of place.
They strike him az being odd, and il
there is anything q we'll balanced
man Gis'ikes, ii is oddity, or any
thing which attracts to him special
attention. s. he, without intentional
a..ing of his fellows, determines to
ri himself of such peculiari.ies aud
uniqueness az to make him marked
mar. His first step iu that direction
coDfionts him with expense, and q
great expenditure which IS, rs q rule,
Hcommensurate with his income.
Ninety.line men Ill every hundred
seek advice. The hundredth man,
who may bo the first, but one in the
bundled, Is strong enough to rely
upon his own common sense and
Judgment and discretion, while the
other ninety-nine seek counsel and
advice. They like to hang on to the
oak of experi' nee and suck from the
sturdlne,s cf a conspicuous leader the
virllity lacking in their own compo
>i'ion. They learn that there are
ways and means and devices by
which unearned money can tubse-
quently bs honestly obtained. They
get the money. It may be by bor-
rowing, pos sibly by discounted bic
of paper, perchance IN anticipation OF
wages due or salary to come, they in
nocently thinking of their cap and
coat and mittens and rusty boots
only, not at all of the necessity OF
meeting the obligation when it tails
due.
Once in that current, the Lord help
him, the devil wont! Once in the
hands OF the usurer, q mans fate Is
settled.

Queer Monument to Washington.

Queer Monument to Washington.
Among the many monuments to
Washington, is one which every Wis
itcr to the Cape Verde Isles will re-
member as one of the most colossal
and marvellous freaks of natural
sculpture In existence. Along the
further side Of San Vicente (the
principal town) rises bold ridge Of
dark gray volcanic rccz, the crest Of
which forms All exact likeness Of
Washington, lying face upward, as II
in sleep or death. The hero's large,
bold features, the backward wave If
his hair. the sweep of his massive
shoulders, and the very frill Of lis
shirt are reproduced on q gigantic
scale with fidelity worthy of the
stalactite formations of the Adelsberg
grctto or the Mammoth cave OF Ken
lucky. This strange monument,
sharply outlined against the rich
blue Of t6e tropical sky. is one OF the
first objects which meets ones eye
on approaching the island, and pre-
sents. with the boundless ocean for
its appropriate background, .
tat,leau OF such overpoweripg mag
nificence as might well drive any
sculptor to despair.
