Now Some of Them Want to be Annexed
to Butte.
There is said to be strong sentiment
among the citizens of Butte City, which is be-
coming more prominent each day, to annex
that portion Of Colusa county to Butte. The
history of this feeling dates back severaI
years, and the residents in that vicinity are
only waiting favorable opportunity to
show their hand.
A Chico Chronicle Record reporter in con-
vel sation with prominen. gentleman of
that place the other day. learned that these
facts were only too true
The southern end of Colusa county has
antagonized nearly everything that would
be OF benefit for that section, and now the
northern end refuses to recognize them.
This leaves them, as you might say, out in
the cold.
For three long years up TO 1885 Butte Citv
petitioned and pleaded for bridge across
the Sacramento at that place. The Board
OF Supervisors refused TO listen to anything
of the kind until Willows came forward
with long petition from taxpayers there
About year ago the high water washed
this bridge away, and left Butte City where
she was in the first place.
Willows now refuses TO lend anothe,
helping band because she thinks that thai
section of the county is not IN favor of di
vision The Board of Supervisors also re-
fuse 10 listen to their plsinhve cry. Thi:
practically leaves them without any friend:
in the county, and they think that if they
cannot receive recognition at home they
will Try to go where they will be treated
| we'll. AT least.
The gentleman referred to says that th,
general sentiment is to have the line of th,
proposed addition to Butte county com
mence on thsSacramento river about sever
miles below Bans City and follow the pro

nant at Authorities of Bengal.
CALCUTTA, December 30th-The delegates
to the National Indian Conference are in
dignant at the action of the authorities of
Bengal forbiding officials of the Indian
Government to attend the conference, even
as spectators. This action is condemned
as unworthy of Englishmen. The dele
gates who spoke upon the subject said this
would probably prove to be the blunder of
some subordinate, otherwise, they say, the
order was piece of gratuitous insolence.
The conference decided to send 100 native
delegates to hold conference in London
with the object of proving before the Eng
lish public the fitness of the natives of
India to be treated as fellow citizens by the
British.

1t would DO as dltnCult to trace the
friendship Of Bassett and Stevens to its
origin as to follow the Saco to its secret
fountains in the Crawford Notch. They
had met by accident. Their soft hearts
fused easily: as it happened, they took a
room together where a thousand trivial
incidents of common daily experience
united them with the binding strength
of cable OF threads. In the first turb-
ulent weeks Of the course-once turbu-
lent, that is, now taine-they shouted,
scuffled and suffered side by side. Then
quieter times followed; silent hours of
faithful study, as together they climbed
the sleepy hill of knowledge; toilsome
progress surely, but what noble sportl
What air we get on the mountains, what
views, what . sense Of victOryl
Thus their friendship, founded in ma
ture and maintained by virtue. grew
deeper and firmer with time, until from
chatting on commonplaces they had come
to speak frankly of third persons, and
finally, after many tests and lessons, had
been able to talk in earnest of themselves,
to entrust each other with their anxieties
and frailties, make their confessions and
each assume Il snare OF the others bur

good ladies had long made their plans to

FLOWER AND A BOUQUET.
Childhood grew to boyhood, and that
was ripening into youth when, at 10,
Windward Dassett entered Yale College.
He was then perhaps feet 8 in height,
with an honest, modest face and slight
but erect and graceful figure. His eyes
were large and q romantic blue; his com
plexion was fair and clear; in short, good
health, good habits, good nature and
good breeding shone in his blushing face
and easy, vigorous carriage. He dressed
neatly withal, and coming events had
cast their shadows before on his upper
lip.
At first, of course, all was hustle and
confusion, bat this chaos was soon re-
solved into order and beauty. Affinitiss
found out one another and combined,
and in an incredibly short time the new
class was organized, regulations made
and heroes worshipped.
Among those who came early to the
front as a leader was a sturdy young
fellow named Peter Stevens, not very
brilliant, witty or fascinating in man.
ners, but sensible, capable, sincere and
agreeable. He was large and strong of
bodily frame, but he appeared to advan-
tGge in the recitation room as well az on
the play ground, for the tutors probe
soon discovered proof of hard, steady
work done on hopeful basis of good
native abilities and Thorough training.
