ORATIoN'-The most interesting fea-
ture of the great Fenian celebration, Wednes-
day the 18th day of March, will be the ora
tion delivered at the Helena Theatre by Ma
jor Martin Maginnis, Editor of the Rocky
Mountain Gazette. The Major has most ap-
propriately selected as his subject on that
occasion "The Life and Services of General
Thomas Francis Meagher." Into no better
hands could be intrusted an able review of
the life and services of this distinguished son
of Erin's Isle. No mind could better con-
ceive no heart more windy inspire, the words
of eulogy that will fall from the lips of the
orator In grateful tribute 90 the memory of
one beloved and honored while among his
fellow men, and deeply mourned when naught
else is left eff that eventful life but the recol-
lection of his brave deeds, his genius and his
brilliant though brief career, for Major Magins
mis- was not only intimately acquainted with
the illustrious deceased IN the private walks of
life, but stood with him upon the field of car
mage when the battle shock unbarred the por-
Ills of the grave. he Is an eloquent speaker,
clearyet comprehensive in argument, forcible
IN manner and elegant IN diction. We know 1t
Will be well worth the attendance of our
citizens and we expect to record an overflow
ing house.

well last fall, when much prospecting was
done and good paying grouDd taken up
