Better Tempered than His Royal Mother,
The Prince Of Wales is showing his good
sense by patronizing the Paris Exhibition
after his royal mother had refused to al
low her ambassador at Paris to recognize
it. This is not the first time that Albert
Edward has tried to remedy plumbers made
by Victoria. When the Queen publicly
snubbed Gladstone in 1880, the Prince OF
Wales called on him next day and made
peace.

Complaints that Indians are Killing Game

From the "Missoulian:" A few days
since John Bird sent information to Cor.
wallis that a large number OF Indians were
camped in the Mineral Hill country and
were Strengthening game outrageously. W.
A. Ingalls, addressed the sheriff, setting
forth the facts and states the wishes OF
numerous citizens, that steps be taken to
check the fragrant violation of the law.
The sheriff is powerless in the matter but
has taken the only measure open to him in
the matter. He will call the attention OF
Agent Peter Roman to the matter, encIos.
ing such Information as he has received.
He will also lay the matter before the
county commissioners.
At the last session of the legislature q
law was passed that county commissioners
may appoint q game warden at a salary
not to exceed $1,000 per year, and it is
hoped that measures will be taken at once.
The Indians have ample lands upon which
to hunt, and should be prevented from

Revival of Gay ColOrs for Mems Wear.
Perhaps the revival of brilliant costumes
for gentlemen is nearer at hand than the
general public imagines. We were told
that at most Of the balls and receptions in
these closing weeks of the fashionable sea-
son in Paris the gentlemen, by arrange
ment, all wear dress coats of gay colors,
rivaling the ladies in costliness of attire, as
of old. No one appears in black. Knee
breaches are very generally worn in society.
And now the edict has gone forth at the
German court, the most splendid at pres
ent in all Europe, that ordinary full dress
shall be discarded at all court festivities.
and that gentlemen shall return to the
laces, the silk stockings and the rich satins
and velvets OF Louis XIV.'s time. The
dozen or fifteen smaller courts which take
their tone from Germany are very likely to
follow suit. The revival of the cid mascu-
line fashions may not be very lasting, but
it is upon US.

The subject is one OF great Importance.
Innocent persons are constantly subjected

And it takes IA chap with no end of

And the size of yourpile will govern

Which the dudes Of this baked

That's worthy admiration;
