The Montana post., 1868-09-25

lence 1t is beautiful and attractive for
the time and money that has been ex-
pended but what do you suppose it is?
Merely one end of the city graveyard,
which not yet being occupied by the
dead, the living have Jumped" for
pleasure grounds, and the gay lads and
iassies, the more sedate old fathers and
mamas, drive their dashing equipages
at a slashing gait along the graveled
walks that border the grandpas' graves,
to take fashionable airing, see the best
people of Chicago, and discuss what
they will have for Sunday dinner while
the grandpa aforesaid, doubtless turns
over in his uneasy chamber and whis~
pers to his next door neigh Dor, 'this is
nothing, they'll be playing croquet on
our premises next, or put down an arte-
sian well through you or me for Park
Fountain"
/ met the Couldocks here-just finish
ing up a successful engagement. After
having spent few weeks in the East
they play in Omaha, Cincinnati and ST.
| Louis in the interim, and go East in No
vember. They have not forgotten their
mountain acquaintance. and Don QuiX-
ote, as in duty bound gave the most nil
mute particulars of information of score
or two of Helenians he never heard OF
| before, risking it upon the general prins
! ciple that nobody ever gets sick IN Mons
| tana, and all rapidly becoming million
\ aires. They were succeeded at McVick-
| ers by Joe Jefferson, whose Rip Van
| Wrinkle "A most superb rendering
has since drawn crowded houses
Foul Play" has the boards at Woods.
L: was foul play in every sense of the
word. There is not a stock company in
| Chicago with as much talent as there is
| in Langrishe's. In saying this, l mean
every word of it. If Chicago is a criterion
of other cities the ''leg business has had
an evil effect upon legitimate acting
and the development of that portion of
the human anatomy has been obtained
at the expense of the head. De Witt
! c. Waugh is doing the scene painting
at Woods and it is redeeming +, ature
of the concern.
| have not devoted much space 10 pol,
itics, but hgre you heard from Vermont
DR. Ray, of the Chicago Post, wants TO
know, and perhaps the Gazette, Demo
c5ut or IqdepeRdcRt would like to answer
the question have not seen the Dem
ocrat east of Missouri who had dollar
d, 10 bet on Seymour being elected. The
most moderate predict a larger pop
ular majority for Grant than Lincoln re-
ceived, and a great many believe he will
carry everything eXcept-water on both
shoulders While Seymour is housed
up with ice Poultices on his head, 10
stave off certain insanity until after cleo
ton, Grant is journeying through the
West in the most unconcerned manner
possible; acting seDsibly and, very un-
like Presidential candidates generally
keeping sober. We have heard some
innuendoes that Grant is a drunkard,
and has been for years. If he is he has
less to show for it in his face than some
men l know who think they are quite
temperate. The Tanner Club, recently
organized, turned out last nl5ht-only
1000 OF them in uniform, and each car
! Tying n torch or banner. 1t was an I'M
posing spectacle; looked upon by Re-
publicans with supreme satisfaction, and
by Democrats with contempt border>
ing on despair Before the campaign
closes they will march the streets Of
Chicago 10000 strong and will win over
To the right side thousands VINO go with
the popular and enthusiastic side. They
tell of an organization known here rs
the "W hite Boys in BlCe," but they evil
IDENTIFY have the tEleS too much TO turn
out, as have not seen them. They are
said TO be Democratic, which probably
accounts Tor my not seeing them, as
there is no such thing as Democracy
visible nowadays.
Senator Trumbull has just returned
home, and had it not been for the sad
bereavement that has thrown its chill
shadows about his heart he would ere
this have been on the rostrum heartily
and ably advocating the Republican
ticket and platform. He ccntemplates
with favor trip to Montana, as there
will be no September session, and on his
return, or, sooner if lie should not 90,
he will be heard from earnest in sup
port of the good cause.
They observe Sunday here in Chicago,
and especially at the Sherman House,
(charge for gas after twelve o'clock) so
you will permit me to a1Fix here the
usual initials. d. Q.
