Tho Natnre Of rrn,nrh..

We probably none of us know how
much We use proverbs in our daily
speech; but it is certain that if they
were withdrawn from the language we
should find ourselves pulled up at every
turn; for we may almost say that lau-
guage is not q language until IL has pro-
verbs imbcdded in it. Proverbs save q
deal Of thinking. They often thr0w
light upon a perpiexily; solve a problem
in morals express "a criticism upon
current affairs; throw beam Of wit
or humor upon some dark spot. As q
general thing newspaper editors do not
bctake themselves % proverbs; being a
reading and intelligent class, they gen
orally form their own opinions and give
expression 10 them in their own way.
Proverbs may be regarded as the gems
Of language, and many Of the old PROV
cribs might afford text for an essay
well worth writing and reading. "You
must no-lo0k gift horse I'm themOuth"
was proverb in St. Jeromes time. Oue
Of Ariosto's heroes in Orlando Furiosor
jumps from the frying pan into the fire.
How telling must have been the moi
dents attending the original gift horse
rashly criticised, or thc fatal imprudence
Of the hapless o.nizens of the frying
pan, 10 have stamped their lessons SO in
dclibly on the worlds records, and how
impossible for research TO get at them.
Many proverbs abound about reputa-
ton. "Nhen all men say you are an
ass it is high time 10 bray" lie that
hath an i'll name is half hanged" Pre-
cisely the same sentiment is expressed
by very different forms. Thus, while
one says, They that live in glass houses
should not throw stones, another ex-
presses tho same notion more quantity.
Folks that have straw tails should not
play with fire ~ bird in the hand
ETC., has an equivalent in Better one
bird in the net than q flock in the air.
The Scotch say, ~ black hen laws
white egg and a wild goose never
laid a tame egg and May the mouse
ne'er leave our meal peck wi the tear in
its eye" \ flavor Of primitive times is
impaired whenever ladies and gentlemen
talk Of making hay when the sun shines
or advocate cutting their coat according
TO their cloth, or agree that it is best 10
wash their soiled linen at home. Troy

to open its mouth and spit out its arsenal
Of destruction. Even the mandamus
case which was to have been heard be
fore Judge Hunt yesterday has again
been postponed until next Saturday and
even then 1t may not be determined that
q court has the right to build q Judicial
bonfire Of the ballots of q free people
and elect certain men to Office in oppo-
sition to the voice Of such ballots. If
courts Of law have the right to elect, or,
more properly speaking, to appoint men
to Office in opposition to the ex-
pressed voice Of the people
and in opposition to the written
and unwritten constitution of the ma
ton and state. then let the fact 60 up
On record as a precedent, and the sooner

great cost to the taxpayer, are wiped

will be. Such an usurpation would not

HOLIDAY

The holiday souvenir published by tn,
Inter Mountain Of this city is typograph
ioally a work of art, and it "a rspIe4.
with reliable mining and other statistics
pertaining to this city which entitle il
to a wide circulation both at home and
abroad. The superiority Of the publica.
ton as compared with the political fea-
lures Of that journal is so marked as to
be the subject of universal notice and
comment, and it certainly suggests a
field in which the Inter Mountain may
yet find resuscitation from the dry rot
incident to the ~deprayity of its political
professions. 1t may prove to be a sue
cess as n of the prompters and abettors
of state stealing, but it should remember
that trade hath her victories and virtue
her reward. As a book-bindery and as a
factory for the speedy and artistic pro-
duction Of circus posters the Inter
would deserve we'll of the pub
lie and it would be in better accord with
that eternal fitness to which success
must ever bow. THE MINER in conclu-
sion extends the congratulations of the
season to its esteemed but very wi.ked
contemporary, and trusts that it will sin |
no more, but will walk uprightly and
cease to follow the tortuous ways of po-
itical crOOkedness. -,.-

ONE DEADLOCK BROKEN.

Although there is nothing new in the
legislative situation at Helena TIL
MINER is glad to announce that there is
something new in the district court
situation in this county. Yesterday the
rival Judges Mediation and Hamilton
both rendered their designations to
Governor Toole and both were accepted.
The power Of appointment now resides
in the governor and as the designations
referred to were unconditional
there are no strings on him and
it is therefore probable that he will ap-
point Judge Mediation, as that will con-
form to the wishes of the people of this
as expressed at the polls on Oct.
l. The judicial deadlock is therefore
broken, and it will be hailed with salts
by all, especially those whose in
terests have directly suffered by the alb
'ence Oft court of recognized authority.
Both gentlemen are to be commended for
The regard which they have thus shown
or the public welfare.

pleasure the merry Christmases Of tht
long ago, 30 that in the observance Of The
day and Of the eve there is not only
present Joy but one that will forever Ive
to bedeck with Jewels the brow of retro
~spection. But Of all who welcome
Christmas eve, childhood Is ever the first
to extend the hand, the last to say coed
bye. and whose greeting Is the
most joyous and heartfelt, and
therefore most deserving Of the highest
recognition. Indeed there would be no
Christmas eve without the innocence
that dimples the sweet and coniding
face Of childhood; without that beautiful
hallucination that robes Santa Claus in q
great coat Of fur, seats him in q sleigh
surrounded by every childish charm and
that conides to him the reins Of innu-
merable RENDERS whose feet patter
upon the shingles of every housetop as
the little ones Lilo sleeping in the palace
and the cottage, while angels guard their
sleep and dictate their dreams which
await the fulfllment Of the morn.
Blissful childhood, beautiful hallu-

for its appearance in Siberia, where it burst
out in several places, the weather there
having been cold as usual this season.
Now, that the winter seems to have

sLAYIN THE CHAMPION.

The Pelican Club Condemn the Action OF
the Referee and Smith.
LONDON, Dec. 24.-At the meeting OF the
Pelican club last night it was resolved to
send q letter to Slavin, the Australian
pugilist, expressing sympathy for him in
the treatment accorded him in the fight
with Smith and the admiration for his
courage. The club decided to recognize
Slavin as the champion OF England, and
present him with q belt and purse. Flen..
ing, who acted as Smiths umpire, and who
is a member Of the club, was suspended
from membership, pending an explana-
ton.
In an interview Fleming said he was not
with the roughs who caused
the trouble, but that they were doubtless
friends whom Smith had hired to interrupt
the fight in the event Of it's going against
him.

BRAZIL.

The transition from empire to republic
in Brazil is not yet complete if Senator
Sherman's remarks in opposition to its
recognition by this government are en-
titled to any consideration. The mani
festo which compelled Dom Pedro to
abdicate his throne and with his family
to seek exile in foreign chimes was 80
sudden and unexpected that the effect
upon those in sympathy with royalty
was practically the same as that upon
royalty itself and compelled an acquies-
cence which it seems was mistaken for
unanimity in the demand that the
change in the form of govern
ment should take place. It was
the boast Of Republicanism throughout
the world that the clamor for the change
was 80 universal and sincere that it was
accomplished without bloodshed or even
a passive opposition. That was the true
aspect, but when the CONSERVATION of
the moment had subsidized and the impe-
had recovered from their sur
prise. organization and all of the forces
Of opposition which they could command
were summoned to attack the stability
Of the new government, and SO we'll
have they succeeded that aver Senator
sherman advises delay In its reccgni-
lion, that the tide of success may first be
determined. 1t is true that turbu-
lence exists throughout the entire coun-
Try and that revolution and anarchy run
not in some Of the provinces to the de-
truction Of life and property, still even
his does not justify the Indifference of
his government to the struggles of a
'eople for self government. This gov /
rnment can Ill afford to deny recogni- !
ion to a sister republic whose geograph- =
cal position Is an additional reason del I

scognition depends largely the attitude Il

Peace on earth, good will to men,"
ANOTHER LODGING HOUSE ROBBED.

Arrest of a Man on Suspicion of Being
the Burglar.
Some time during Monday afternoon a
burglary was committed in the lodging
house up stairs in the Little Joe block, on
West Park street. Several rooms were
entered and quite a number OF valuables
carried off. chief among which was a gold
watch. The lady who conducts the place
at once notified the police and gave them
a description of a man who had been seen
in the hall Of the house and whose actions
had aroused her suspicious. A sharp
look out Tor the party was kept and soon a
man was under arrest who answered the
description OF the man the police were
looking for. He a. taken to the house
and identified by the lady az the man she
had seen in the building during the after.
noon. The prisoner gave his name as
Roger Madden, and strongly protested his
innocence. He was arraigned before Judge
.ewkirk and shortly afterward released on
bonds, a prominent business man furnish.
ing the bail. Madden's friends do not be-
ieve him guilty, and say that it is a clear
case OF mistaken identity.
