The Dude and the Damsel.

On mild Potomac's banks did dwell
A winsome maiden passing fair,
With form and features very swell
And shining, golden, yellow hair.
Likewise this pretty gyurl had she
A pile OF ssss fair to see.
In distant Gotham lived youth,
A youth of manly form and mien,
Whose chiefest aim in life, forsooth,
Was in new garments to be seen.
He joyed to travel on his shape,
Nor wished his tailor to escape.
Two hundred pairs of trousers gay
Were his delight, his joy, his pride
He added to them every day
And owned hundred suits beside.
His collars were sight to see,
His neckties shone right gorgeouslee.
His canes he numbered by the score,
His waistcoats famed of varied hue;
He had full fifty hats or more
And many patent-leather shoe.
His gloves were faultless past compare
His gorgeous silken underwear.
This swelly youth went every day
To sun him on the promenade,
To show the world his garments gay
And fascinate each pretty maid.
He murmured, quite contentedlee;
The women are all gone on mel"
The pretty gyurl in Washington
She found her life a weary blank;
Though suitors came in crowds, each one
She spurned, regardless of his rank.
Because" she said " do not feel
mi 80
The army tried in vain to win
This beautiful but joyless maid;
Likewise the men with lots of tin
The Turing chink of gold essayed.
To bench and bar she answered " Nav
can't endure the horrid law"
But lo it CHANGED that to that town
There came the gorgeous Gotham youth.
Said he: 81 think I'll settle down"
Said she: My fate has come, in TRUTH"
He saw the golden dollars CLEAN,
She felt the power of loves young dream.
AT last. at last," she murmured soft,
At last my youths ideal see,
The lovely youth I've dreamed of oft,
And swift my heart goes out to hee.
I'm sure that all my life can
Be happy with that pretty mani"
Quoth he; Though as a usual thing
shy at marrying, lots of tin
May reconcile me to ring;
Therefore think I'll take this I'M"
So pitapet away they COED
In double harness down life's road.

District Court.

When the court convened yesterday
morning the July in the Phelps case
returned Il verdict of guilty.
The trial of Mrs. O'Brien for as
sault with intent to kill upon her hus-
band, was then begun. A brief re-
view Of the circumstances OF the case
will here suffice, AS it was fully re.
ported at the time. Mr.. O'Brien was
sitting in the waiting room Of the de-
pot one day last summer when the de.
fendant~' pproached the window dir
rectly behind him, and drawing pis-
tol fired AT his head, The ball passing
through his hat. She was at once put
under arrest, and after IA preliminary
examination before Judge Booge was

Jones conducted the prosecution
and Griffitts and Douglas appeared for
the defense, putting in a plea of not
guilty on the ground OF emotional in
sanity,
III. q. StImmel and G. r. Newton
were the first witnesses and briefly
described the circumstap ces OF the

Constable Wilson testified that he
arrested tho prisoner Immediately af-
ter the shooting, and at the time she
was very much excited; so much so
that he should judge that she was
either insane or drunk.

Mrs. Lanatry's Good Fortune

CHICAGO, Feb, 13 A special from
Carson, Nevada, says: "Some two
months 20 the contractors in boring
an arte, ian tor Mrs. Langtry, the
actress, near the foot of the mountain
where the North larson mine IL sit.
uated, came on formation of rock
which lay between the clay walls.
This formation Was SO hard that the
drill bounded up, and il required
seven feet Of drilling to penetrate and
reach under the clay wall. When the
debris of the rock came out it attracted
the attention of the borers. A few
ounces Of 'he rock were taken to the
Bullion and Exchange bank, where it
vas assayed. The assay was $3.50 IL
ton Of rich silver ore. Since then ex-
perts have been making an examina
ton, seeking TO trace the ledge to its
groupings and determine the character
of the enclosing walls. Discoveries
last week seem tn show that the ledge
runs all the way from seven feet to
one hundred and twenty feet thick.
The excitement over the discovery is
now great, aud it is probable much of
the ledge runs through Mrs. Langtry's
land. She bored for water and struck
silver.

OAkSDALE ITEMS.

We know of no locality that equals
Oaksdale and lis surroundings for a
large creamery and cheese factory.
The grass Is of the finest and best
quality, and would say to anyone
wishing TO engage in that line Of bus-
ness that they should not fail to see
Oaksdale and its natural advantages
before locating elsewhere.
Arthur Crown has been irving the
experiment of stall feeding IL few head
OF beef cattle. This custom should he
encouraged by both butchers and their
customers, as it is The only way to
have nice, tender and juicy beef at this
time of the year.
The railroad will be great boon to
all along its line, as they can board Il
train in the morning, reach the Falls
in good season, and have plenty of
time to transact business before re-
turning in the evening.
There has been band of fifteen
members organized at this place. In
struments have been ordered from the
East and will arrive in few days.
The roads have been in horrible con.
dition for the last week or two.
We have been passing through the
first prellnlinaries necessary for the
production of a large crop, namely I:
thawing, rain, slush, water and mud.
There is not one-fourth of the land
i'll this locality under the plow. It
was the last part of the country to
settle up and get railroad, yet for all
that it is getting to the front.
Many persons are not aware tha,
the fare from Oaksdale to the Falls is
only $3.50.
Any one,wishing to find healthy
climate, cool summers. short winters,
the most productive soil, no cyclones,
no failures Of crops, no billiards.,
should come to Washington territory.
The Spokane & Palouse railroad
Will have to run at least six daily
trains by fall. "SLEErY EYE"

The Snow Drifts.

New York, Feb. ia Kingston
New York special says: The north
west wind which began drifting the
snow which iell thick and last Satur-
day morning, died away during that
night, and not so much drifting re-
suited as railload men and highway
commissioners expected. Neverthe-
less, a great deal OF shoveling and
running steam shovcls were necessary
yesterday, and by dint of good man
agement the railroads, running
through and centering here, will have
trains running on time to-day.

outlook for the Coming Season.

THOMPSON FALLS, Feb. 12.--The
| signs Of the times here, all things con.
| sidered, 20 to show that the year 1883
| will be one OF the best years the town
Mas seen. While no great boom is
looked for, it is safe to chronicle that
| business is already assuming IL health
ier look through the interest mani
tested by strangers, who are being
| drawn here through the natural re-
sources of the country. Four saw
mills will be in operation in q few
| weeks. These will keep nearly one
hundred men employed. A company
has been organized TO erect smelter
near here to treat the ores from the
| mines arc und Us. The new managers
OF the Bell mine, Messrs. Clark &
Thompson, of Butte, are so well known
| that their names are u sufficient guar
antee that the mine, as soon as it is
started up again, will be worked to
greater advantage to all concerned
than under any previous manage
ment. Mining meetings are be-
ing held for the object OF discus
sing the best means of operating the
Vermilion and Libby creek mines the
coming season, and those most
interested are getting anx-
ious to ''hie" them away to the
mountains-not to be at rest, but to
be at work.
The Libby creek Cinnamon have all
wintered here, and owing the depth of
snow in the mountains to be crossed it
will be somewhat late before they can
reach the camp. The Libby will be IL
big China camp the coming summer.
1t il evident that outsiders are the
ones who in the future will be the men
who will go ahead and help this town
to the front. The animosity that ex-
lists and has existed among business
men here for years past is what has
kept the town back. There are few
business men here who know no such
word as fail, and who can neither be
kept down or back. Yet these are in
the minority. 1t is already well
known that where there is one man
who wants to push ahead, there are
twenty ready to pull down. 1t is an
established fact that the only course
TO be pursued by the business men of
this or any other town, is to pull to-
gether as one man regardless of any
and all opposition. This would be no
difficult matter and strangers coming
among us would have confidence in
the place as we'll as its people. Nature
has endowed this part OF Montana
with all the requisites in the way of
climate. scenery, and wealth in the
mountains Of ore with which We are
surrounded. The greatest possible
drawback not only to the town here but
to the Occur d'Alene country all along,
has been the poor roads and trails
from here to the mines. How much
Missoula county has been to blame in
this matter is too well known to re-
quire repeating. With the breaking
up of winter and the melting OF the
deep snow in the mountains, the same
experiences of last spring are feared
will have TO be gone through with, in
the way of high water, etc. 1t is
learned on very good authority that
the iailroad will be built from point
near here TO the mines early the pres |

cnt season which. II done. will forever
81 Tie the ro ID matter. While not II
few ARE of the opinion that wagon
roa'l- to mining camps are always the
best fer the country, yet the railroad
has its advantages ia the way ot
rapidly developing and settling up the
country. Indcpendent.
