Attempted Burglary.

Last Saturday some parties attempted
to burglarize the residence of Mr.. Joseph
Harris, in Missonla gulch. 1t appears that
Mrs. Harris had occasion to come to the
city last Saturday afternoon. After leav-
ing, two suspicious looking individuals were
seen near the residence by some miners,
who were working close by-one of them on
q knoll, while the other was walking to the
residence, but no heed was paid to them at
the time. The party who was seen going
to the house was the one, no doubt, who
forced the back door open ard entered,
while the other was keeping watch. When
Mrs: Harris returned home she found that
her trunk had been p,ied open, and the
contents OF the drawers in the bureau we're
scattered over the floor, and part OF the
furniture was broken to pieces. The party
had all their pains fer nothing, as Mrs.
Harris a taken her pocket-book with
her. It was evident that was what the
parties were after.

Among the scientific papers which will
appear in the appendix OF one of the forth
coming reports OF the Geological survery is
one by Prof. Joseph p. Iddings, upon the
obsidian cliff of Yellowstone Park. This
cliff is at an elevation, half a mile long by
from 100 to 200 feet high, the material
OF which Prof. Iddings says is as good gls SIS
as any artificially manufactured. Its COL
ors and structures not only make it inter-
esting to the visitor, but furnish to the sci
enti6c investigator phenomenons OF jmpor-
tance. The cliff presents a partial section
OF a surface flow OF obsidian which poured
down an ancient slope from the plateau w.
ing east. 1t is impossible to determine
what the original thickness oil this HOW
may have been. The dense glass which
now forms it's lower portion is from sew
enty-ive to one hundred feet thick, while
the porous and pumiceOu5 upper portion
has suffered from ages of erosion and gla.
cial action.

A PERMANENT EXPOSITION.

Since the election-and, indeed, a long
time before tour Eastern exchanges have
been flooded at intervals with the plans
and details Of a great exposition which it
has been proposed to establish in Wash
ington city. 1t is, we learn, to be q perma-
nent institution, and to be the outgrowth
OF the constitutional centennial to be held
on March 4, 1889, and the Worlds Expo
sition of 1892. The former of these
shows will, as its name implies, be simply
a ceremony, lasting probably about a
week. and consisting of a joint celebration
by the sixteen American republics in honor
of the hundredth anniversary Of the Con-
stitution of the United States. The latter.
the Worlds Exposition, is also to be just
what it's name implies an exposition of all
nations OF the world. Out Of these, the
BOARD OF Promotion" the secretary Of
which is Mr.. Alexander D. Anderson, who
was identified prominently with the second
New Orleans exposition, propose to evolve
the Permanent American Exposition.
1t is a great and beautiful project, but. of
course, everybody knows that such schemes
cost money, and a good deal of it too.
Where all the funds are to come from is a
problem which zone of the promoters OF
the exposition seem to have carefully con-
sidered, preferring to assume that Congress
will seize the opportunity to dispose OF a
large slice OF the surplus lying in the United
States treasury. This would probably be
an easy way Of solving the question OF how
to get rid OF the surplus, though it may not
strike the average citizen as just the correct
solution. -.
As soon as the scheme was originated a
number Of Washington citizens were pre-
vailed upon to hand themselves together
as a board of promotion. They have paid
all expenses SO far. Now they are engaged
in getting all the Governors of States and
Territories, all the mayors Of cities and
more than $4,000 Inhabitants, the Off
Gals of the Boards of Trades, Exchanges,
ETC., throughout the country to form a
national board of promotion. These latter
gentlemen have OF course been very willing
to allow their names to he used in this
connection, because they are not expected
to contribute to the expenses. They have
everything to gain and nothing to lose.
The object in getting them is to give the
a national appearance, and to
bring local influence to bear upon Congress
men to induce them the more easily to
vote for a large appropriation. VIII they
do it?

l noticed a fleeting look of concern or pity
in the eyes of some of the women, when once
they exchanged a whispered word or two,
and l fancied it was in behalf of my foolish
little actress.
At Hartford, a telegram was brought into
the car for the "lover." He read it with a
careless air, which even unsophisticated I
could see to be assumed. And then, with his
travelling cap pushed back from his hand
some, impudent face, he lounged gracefully
through the car, giving a word of informa-
ton to right and left, which I did not hear.
One of the men gave a low, insinuating
whistle, and uttered "By Jove!" The women
smiled in an easy sort of way, and glanced
at one another, but not at my little friend,
who had grown as white as snow and had
taken up a novel. Tho "lover' returned to
her side, n soon the bushes and smiles ap-
peared again, but now the eyes were wholly
sad. As the train neared New Haven there
was a perceptible stir among the brilliant
folk, and the little actress became by turn
white and still, or almost boisterously gay,
As the speed of the train slackened, she
moved quickly to a seat among the others,
and near to me, as the lover excitedly
jumped from the platform and disappeared
in the crowd.
An oppressive silence reigned in the car.
A box of confectionery was produced, and
actress ate rapidly and daintily, and
tried to laugh at the peculiarities of the
crowd without, who stared into the car with
hungry" curiosity. And then, followed by
the lover, came the most startlingly splendid
being l ever beheld. I never knew who
she was-maid, wife or widow-and prob
ably never shall; and I know I shall never
see such beauty again. 1 shall not try to
describe her. l should fail. 1t is enough to |
say that l could not look away from those
bold, bad, melancholy dark eyes, and that /
still despise myself for my weakness. The
women greeted her with undisguised dislike;
the men, with admiration as open, but
Hinged with awe. She swept a
swift, naughty glance about her, which fell
at last with q naughty smile beneath it.

TIE FILTHY ARIsTOCRACY

The Colin Campbell divorce suit,
in London, is by all odds the filth
lest mess Of society sewerage that
has ever been liberated in England
or anywhere else for that matter.
The noble British lord soon after
marriage communicated to his wife
a loathsome disease, charged the
work upon the family physician,
then sent his wife to Paris for treat
ment, and while she was there cen
cocted a plet by which he expected
to be able to secure her arrest and
have her cast into a lazer house set
apart for disabled prostitutes.
The miserable cur who is the au-
thor of all this hellishness, is Lord
Colin Campbell, the fifth son ct
the Duke of Argyle and scion OF a
rotten house Of nobility whom the
taxpayers Of England have been
supporting in idleness and lechery
for some centuries.
