THE first volume of the Oxford diction.
airy has been published. The aim of the
work is declared to be Ito furnish an ad-
equate account of the meaning, origin
and history of English words now in
general use, Or known to have been in
use at any time during the last 700 years.
1t endeavors () to show, with regard to
each individual word, when, how, in
what shape, and with what Specification
it became English; what development of
form and meaning it has since received;
which Of its uses have, in the course Of
time, become obsolete and which still sur
vive; what new uses have since arisen, by
what processes, and when; a. to Illus
trate these facts by a series of quota
lions ranging from the first known oc-
currences to the latest, or down to the
present day, the word being thus made
to exhibit its own history and meaning;
and (3) to treat the etymology Of each
word strictly on the basis of historical
fact, and, in accordance with the methods
and results Of pathological science" The
first volume, which deals with the letters
A and B only, contains 31,254 words in
LAO pages. In Johnson's dictionary, A
and B occupied 1877 pages.

NEXT Thursday Maguire's new opera
house will be opened to the public by
the Rose Osborne company, in the Union
Square Theater success, "A Celebrated
Case; or, the Field Of Fontenoy." Mr..
Mcguire takes just pride in this fine
temple Of art, one of the finest in the
whole Northwest, and the people Of Butte
feel equal pleasure in the possession of
so handsome a place Of amusement. Mr..
Mcguire is justly considered one of the
best managers in the country, from one
end of which to the other he is favorably
known. No doubt an immense audience
will be at the opera house, Thursday
night, as well to do honor to Mr.. Mcguire
as to witness an excellent entertainment.

A SAN FRANCISCO dispatch, referring to
the telegram from Berlin regarding the
nativity of Klein, the American news.
paper correspondent who has just re-
turned from Samoa, says that Klein's
brother declares that John C. Klein was
born in England in 1857, came to Amer
lea at an early age, and was naturalized
in Colorado in 1882. Thus is a moment
GUS point adjusted. 1t ought to knock
the bellicose Bismarck out of a wsek's
growth, but it won't. He'll bob up
se~renely" with new maneuvre to amuse
Bayard and distract his attention until
he wallops the Samoans to his hearts
content. After he has done all the mis-
CHIEF possible, under the circumstances,
he will apologize handsomely-and then
all will be all right.

LORD WoLsELEY took this view of the
future in making an address at Birnning-
ham: "Those who study the map Of Eu-
rope at the present moment and the con-
dition Of things in Europe must feel
that there is hanging over us a war cloud
greater than any which has hung over
Europe before. 1t means that when it
bursts-and burst it will as surely as the
sun will rise to-morrow-it means not,
as in former days, a contest between two
highly trained armies, but a war Of ex-
tinction, of devastation, between great
armed nations whose populations are
armed and trained to fight"

PARTISAN

Under the above heading the st.
Louis Republic has an excellent
article on the efforts being made by GER
tain Republicans in Congress to investi-
gate election frauds In Southern states,
while careful to refrain from any
allusion to equally vile or worse trans
actions Of the kind in Northern states.
However,in the attack on Texas, Arkansas,
Louisiana and other Southern states, the
Republican Senate will fail Of it's hope
Of party capital. In the language Of
Abraham Lincoln, "you can fool some
Of the people all the time, and all Of the
people some Of the time, but you can't
fool all the people all the time"
The country is heartily sick Of sectional
hypocrisy. It is not less heartily sick Of
political corruption. The man who does
not know that the politics OF the United
States are dangerously demoralized is too
ignorant to be ft for citizenship. And
the knowledge OF the immense sums

From the Wallace Free Press: The
latest invention to hang in the family din.
ing-room is the gum board plain or deco.
rated. fastened to the wall. The name OF
each member OF the family is painted on
the circumference, and marks the place
where the gum is left until wanted. This
saves carrying the gum to bed and getting
1t into ones hair, or swallowing it at
night. 1t is obvious hat the gum board

Russian Convict COunterfeiters.

A set Of coiners was discovered among
the prisoners in Meletopole gaol lin Crimea,
Russia. The governor of this prison had
been for some time past convinced that
coming was being carried on, but had
never been able to ''place" the offenders
until one night peculiarly pungent odor
rising above the usual smell of cheap
tobacco fumes put him on the scent. He
discovered that the cOnvicts melted the
lead for sixteen cent pieces in little cups
over charcoal fires. which they lighted on
the floor of their cells, discriminating their
operations behind their clothes. The
casting of the coins was carried out in
bed under the bed clothes. Three six
teen-cent pieces, it TRANSFERRED, were con-
sidered an excellent nights work by each
of the coiners. - Times Democrat
