| to excel each other in the elegance and splen-
dor of their tollettes. If we supposed 1t
would afford any satisfaction to the lady por-
ton of our community, we would mention
some OF the becoming and exquisite toll
cites present, but we fear that once en-

contemplation, of the ingenuity and skill dis
played in gusseting. trimming, crimping, puff
fng and goring the costly fabrics of eastern
looms into robes of beauty, we would be too
late for the next waltz with the lovely fairy,
awaiting our arm ard smile. About IL O'Clock
the company proceeded to supper at the st.
Louis Hotel in carriages. and sat down to
table loaded with all the staples and delca-
cies of the season, which was unsurpassable.
The flowing of the generous wine added zest
to the feast. Mr.. Sullivan did himself infn>
ite credit by the skill and labor displayed in
the supper, and enhanced his reputation as
stgood landlord" The company retired to
the hall and danced till the first fushes of ad-

the "adois" were said, and the hundred or
more happy but weary couple departed home

charge are entitled to great credit for their
labors and experience which resulted in so
great success on the occasion.
A CARD.
EDIroR PosT:-I notice by an article in the
Gazette that Mr.. Higley, deputy Post Master
at Boulder, questions my veracity In charging
him with tearing open packages addressed To
me, and says"I never had an order for the
package" L wrote letter to the Herald
stating, he, as deputy Post Master, had torn
open packages addressed to me through the
United States mails, and refused me
three-fourths of the contents; that
he had done this repeatedly,
and believed it crime. L have made in
formation to this effect to the Grand Jury,
under oath, and whether or not a bill Is
found, will prove it by several gentlemen.
1 will show him who is the liar. did not
have an order for the packages, because they
were addressed to me personally, and pre-
! sumo it would be news to the citizens of
Helena to learn that they had to present an
order for their personal letters to the Post
Master of the place. What the subscriber
requested" him to do / need not discuss.
The fact of the package coming to my in
dividual address, is all he, as officer, had
to consider.
I am respectfully,
CHARLES BEssERER.

FRANKS BATHING EMPoRIUM.-We
venture to say there are few cities of the size
of Helena in the States that have conven-
lent and extensive bathing facilities as our
city boasts of ro>day. It is generally con-
ceded fact that bathing Is often necessary,
and Is considered healthy practice. 1t is
well known that bathing Is difficult and un-
pleasant affair unless the victim is supplied
with all the conveniences, necessities and lux
uries. All these are supplied by the manage
ment of the bathing house of DIR. Frank.
He has thoroughly renovated, re-aranged
papered, painted and furnished his bathing
apartments until they perfectly elegant.
| He can furnish the soIler of water with hot,
cold, shower, vapor, medicinal and rheumatic
baths at n moments notice. His rooms and
baths are supplied with everything needful,
and the attendants are courteous and accom1o-
dating. This will supply great want in our
city where such an article is so much needed,
and TO all citizens or sojourners Mr.. Frank
extends an Invitation to call and examine his
institution at pleasure and without expense.
Town LOT ENTRY.-The entry of
| town lots in the town site of Helena still
continues, and the time of Judge Truitt Is
constantly consumed by the business conse-
quent upon the applications. We believe
there has been an unusual degree of harmony
and good feeling manifested throughout the
proceeding so far, and to the satisfaction of
all parties concerned. 1t may not be gene
rally understood by our citizens, that this is a
good thing for Lewis and Clark county, but
such Is the fact-that ten dollars of the
amount paid to the Probate Judge at the
time of the applications for entry goes to the
credit of the county, and is being paid over
to the County Treasurer by the Probate Judge.
This makes a handsome revenue to the county
and lightens mp to great extent the burdens
of the taxation necessary to carry on the
county government.
PERsoNAL-Col. Hanna, L. s. Pay
master of the District of Montana arrived
yesterday from Fort Ellis, accompanied by
Lieut.. w. L. wann of the 18th, Mr.. Drew and
an esco-t. The Maj. gives an interesting ac-
count of the late Indian fight below Bozeman,
which in the main agrees with our special of
yesterday. The Col. pays a high compliment
to Capt. Cliff, Lieut.. wann and the troops
wdo were engaged in the conflict. Mr.. Drew
went out on the expedition and did good SER
vice. A second detachment of troops and
citizens left the Fort in pursuit of the Indians,
and intelligence may be daily expected of
