Tbe Quality of the gold obtained u not ex-
eelled for fneness by any in the Territory. "A
short distance above this Aume, and opposits
discovery claim, a tunnel is being run into q
bar which is expected TO afford facilities fo'
working some of the richest ground no Mon
tana. The earth exsavsted 10 <he Pi osecu-
tion of the work pays wages, or - SO pe'
day. Above this point nearly every claim is
worked with good results.
The AxrrDoTE.-should John Potter,
through the proximity Of the Herald outfit
become so contaminated as to merit transpor-
tation to the Dry Tortugashe should take
with him the romantic Bob Fisk for bed
fellow; thereby securing himself against at
tacks of "centipedes, tarantutas, scorpions,
gallInippers," and all such reptiles as con.
gregate in the Herald Office. Thus will he
divers the attention of those vile animals, who,
since "birds of feather flock together" will
confine their attention to the vain glorious
Bob. There is but one reptile in the country
which surpasses Fisk OF Stuart for loath-
someness or that would prove q more perfect
protection from his fellow reptiles Of the
Dry Tortugas, and that is the old fossilized
liar s. W. Beall, he whose beastial nauseous
carcass, which even a convicted fclon would
shun, is about to drag his Shiny length out of
Montana. Innuendo and falsehoods are the
crimes of towards. To the old worn out
pest-the rotten hearted animal that signs
himself "Public Functionary," every decent
man in Montana can feeliDgly say "Fare thee
well most foul" Go back to your dirty
den, your drunken haunts, your vices and
your crimes, and rot, rs one who has sunk Gar
below contempt itself.
S. w. BEAIL on A SPLURGs.--As our old
friend journeys East. and should he be visit
ed with lucid interval, sufficient to summon
a few incidents in his Montana career, those
''talents of memory" we presume he will re-
member borrowing a fine gold watch-the
heir loom of gentleman travelling with
him-to make a splurge among the army
officers at Fort Shaw, and pawning the same
for the small sum OF eighteen dollars to buy
''rot gut" to satiate the ravenous gnawings
of his cancerous stomach, and then "failing
to redeem the watch" It's very amusing,
these little innocent comicalities of a man
whose 'jewel Of honor is untarnisaed." This
was cutting s'G cure" with iriend's wa tch-
not with AIR. q ~Allegory.''
TIE FAR.-The erection of buildings on
The Fair grounds is in progress, with the pros
1ect of an early completion. The dining
lall right has been rented, and frst-class
building will soon be pat up for the accom-
notation Of those who would not fancy be-
ng compelled to return to the city in the |
midst sf the show for the purpose Of obtain |
ng Square meal. Wells, Fargo Co., as I
Tell ss the other Stage lines have agreed TO |
AIRY passengers during fair week for half |
rice, and parties in Benton or Virginia can,
t that time, make the trip to Helena and
aek FOR the same price that it usually costs
hem to go one way. The display Of agricul
ural productions from aH parts of the Terri
ory promises to be very large, and Lewis and
larke county will have to look wen ~ her
lurels or she will be in danger of being out
one by her neighbors.
TBEA ATREcAL.-Anu unusually large and bril-
ant audience gathered to greet Madame
cheller on the occasion of he= second benefit.
be play selected for the evening was "La
an operatic drama familiar to
iodern masters. Time will not conceie to

lay it so richly demands. Madame appeared

site scene and her songs were the ideals of
elody, aud received constant 'encores.'

othing wanting TO render the performance

repeated to night for the only time. 1t Is
'rt&Inly rich treat to hear Madame S. sing
he rare operatic gems, so seldom heard in
less mountain wales, and so fragrant with
collections of those good by-gone days
hen we "dresssd for ihe Opera" Be sure
