and the sacking OF ancient Troy.
Cleopatra danced upon the hearts
of the Roman heros and made them
forget all else. Samson was shorne
of his power in the presence of De-
lilah. David surrendered to the
charms of Bathsheba. and for her
sake committed the basest of
crimes. Ulysses became victim
to the entertainments of Circe.
The amative faculty is placed by
phrenologists at the base of the
brain. The position is symbolic.
1t is the corner stone, the founda.
tion, upon which is erected the
superstructure of brain and mind.
It would seem to exert controll-
ing influence upon the actions of
life. For Its sake men have fought
bloody duels and have even blown
out their own brains. Honor,
wealth; fame, are but bubbles,
blown away by the breath of cupid.

This country is getting an un-
enviable reputation for old bache-
lors. What to do with them is a
burning question which is liable to
supercede that of the tariff. We
have law for the deportation of
anarchists. 1t is claimed that they
should be allowed, to. stay, as even
some of them are married, and the
old bachelor deported instead. 1t
is a good idea. An old bachelor is
Of no use to himself or anybody
else on earth. He has missed the
proper connections of life and got
off on the wrong switch. He is
wondering off amid the thornes and
brambles by the way side. All the
old bachelors should be gathered
together and deported to some
place where they can weep and
wall and gnash their teeth, without
let or himderance. In the mean
time, the coming Fourteenth of
February should not be forgotten
by those who, to quote Lamb again
"are content to rank themselves as
humble diocesans of Bishop valen-
tine. and his true church"

The Mcknight Social.

ftS+. s
The social event of the season at
Dupuyer was the party held at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. J.. W.
Mcknight on the evening of the
9th. An AcANrHA reporter was
made happy by the receipt of an
invitation to be present. At an
early hour the guests began to ar.
rive and were received at the door
by the host and hostess. Soon the
twinkling feet were marking time
to the exquisite music Of the Dupu-
yer orchestra. The sociable quad
rifle, lively schottische, sparkling
polka, dreamy waltz and catchy
newport, followed each other in
swift succession, until after the
stars had gone to sleep in the
grcwing dawn of the morning.
The rooms were nicely and taste
fully decorated, and at midnight .
superb collation. was served by the
generous hostess. 1t was not
until the sun had swathed the
mountains in a blaze of glory that
the guests reluctantly babe adieu
to the scene of their festivity,
Among the elegant costumes worn
by the ladies who graced the room s.
with their presence, we noticed
the following.
Mrs. Mcknight, blue serge, white
chiffone.
Miss Mcknight, wine broadcloth.
Miss verres Mcknight, crimson
broadcloth.
Mrs. Humble, wine silk.
Miss Conelly, black satin.
Mrs. Berglund, green satin.

ruby ornaments.

Random Shots.

The fourteenth of February is
ST. Valentines day. There is no
reason why the custom which is OBJ
served on that day should be asso>
ciated with the name of St. Valen-
tine. The connection is purely
accidental. There were several
saints of that name. In the
legends of their lives and actions
there is discoverable no trace of the
peculiar practices which are now in
vogue on the fourteenth of Febru-
ary. The ancient Romans, from
whom we have derived so many
things, had, in the month of Feb
ruary, a feast called Lupercalia.
Among other things which were
done at this feast, the names of
young women were put into a box,
from which they were drawn by
the men. Each women thus
drawn became the matrimonial
property of the one who was SC
fortunate-or unfortunate, as the
case may be. Mr.. Douce, in his
illustrations OF Shakespeare, sug
gests that this was probably the
origin of our present customs
He thinks that the Christian
church, in the earlier ages, finding
themselves unable to stop tn
pranks of Cupid. gave it religion
aspect by substituting the name o
Christian SAINT and that sain
happened to be-Valentine.

AS Great Falls and Cascade
county are not in the new judicial
district the bar of that city has no
right to dictate to the governor as
to whom he shall appoint to the
judgeship. They can recommend
with propriety, but it is not con-
elusive evidence that the governor
has sno use" for that section if he
sees fit to listen to the wishes of a
large number of tax payers residing
within the new district. 1t strikes

In assuming control of the
ACANTHA several radical changes
have been decided upon, and will
be carried out to the letter.
First-An independent news
paper is not a success; the people
demand an expression of opinion
from newspapers on all questions
of public interest. An independent
newspaper cannot do this, and we
have therefore decided to make
this a partisan newspaper. We
believe in the great principles of
protection to American industries
we favor the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l. We there
fore charge this from an independ-
ent to republican paper.
Second-This paper is republi-
can, but will not allow itself to be
controlled by any faction or Clique
whatsoever.
Third--Its columns, however,
will still be open to the discussion
of all questions of public interest.
IFourth-Subscribers must pay
for their papers. The only true
business system is the cash system,
and subscribers will not be per-
mitted to settle their accounts
with promises, rags, old iron OF
brass. G. E. TREsCoTT.

There is an old song called Love
on the Brain. This song assever-
ates, with startling distinctness,
IN oft repeated chorus, that every
body is troubled once with that di-
sease. Some never survive. 9th
ers, although they may recover, are
married for life. 1t is safe to say
that no man lives who has not, at
some period of his existance, felt
his heart flutter in the grasp OF
some small hand. 1t is equally true
that there is no woman who has
not paid homage to some lordly
master-her ideal, her king. Laugh
as we will at the follies and vaga
ries of love, there is no man or wo
man who has not, at some time OF
other, experienced that delicious
thrill which is produced by the ar
rows of cupid. Love is the Archi
medean lever which has moved tn
world. Men will do and dare mor
for the little god than all the res

Governor O'Ferrall yesterday declin-
ed to accede to the petition of the cili-
zens of Pocahontas to withdraw the
guard on the public highways there.
He said st is certainly desirable
from every standpoint that the necessi-
ty ofkeeping an armed force in your
midst shall speedily cease, for it is an
expense to the State and loss to the
soldiers who are away from their home
and business. But the troops will not
be withdrawn nor their vigilance abat.
ed until danger subsidies, for the fair
name of Virginia for law and order
must be preserved"
Governor O'Ferrall was asked yester-
day if the end of the trouble in the Flat
Top regions was in sight. He replied
that he could not see it. GLOW long
will you keep the military at Pocahon-
tas ?"' he was next asked. Until this
question is settled and the principle es-
tablisbed," said the Governor with
much emphasis. II hold" he contin-
ued, "that the man who wants to work
in this State has the right to do so, and
he shall be protected in that right to
the extent of the States powers. I
want this fact to be understood, and
this is as good time as any to estab-
lish it."
Major Simops last night wired for re-
Inducements. This action does not in
dictate that the apprehension of trouble
has increased, but that more men are
needed to maintain the picket lines,
and give the present force needed re-
lief. Major Simons gave it as his opin-
ion that the miners could not work
without protection. The Governor
when asked how long he proposed
keeping the men on duty said that he
would maintain an armed force at Po-
cahontas just so long as he deemed it
necessary to the interest of law and
order.
Adjutant. General Hollis, of West
Virginia, was at Pocahontas yesterday.
