The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1870-07-22

Tho st. Clair Lecture Our fur. loyins
and amusement.seekingc citizens have exper.
fenced something new in the way of
"shows" this week, in the entertainment
given by the St. Glars at the Court House,
on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and we
must in candor admit that, from mere nov.
city, If nothing more, the show is rather At
tractivc than otherwise. The entertainment
on Monday evening consisted of, first, q
"fcw general remarks" by Mr.. St. Clair,
delivered in sort Of Bombastes Furioso,
conceited style, which is SO uncomnlonly
difficult for US common, plain folks of the
mountains to properly appreciate, including
the various thrilling episodes of his evcntful
career rs ''showman;" how, owing to the
superior talent of his family he had enjoyed
life OF unalloyed happiness. and whistled
dull care away; how his little olive branch
cs, as fast they multiplied, had grown up
and become distinguished; how he had
travelled triumphantly through Europe,
New York, Boston, Radersburg and Bozc-
man and when, becoming satisted with
metropolitan life. how he had folded land
unfolded) his tent and quietly stole away in
the wilderness Of the Rocky Mountains, to
pour intelligence into the craniums Of be-
nighted and isolated people; and SO on, for
ever, amen. After which, Miss Brearly-
who, by the way, combines greater portion
of the real merit of the troupe, and who is
fair ballatist-favored the audience with
Comm thro' the Rye" 1.-THE Captain with
his Whiskcrs," and other new and popular
airs. The feature of the evening was u Ice
ture on " Woman's rights" by Miss Brearly,
whose oratorical powers arc fully equal 10
her musical abilities. Her clocution WAS
good, her lecture was well rccitcd, and the
audience respectfully listened. AT the close
of the lecture and magic lantern exhibition,
a number of gifts were distributed, includ-
ing lady's gold watch, Il sort of GUNNER
affair, but well worth the price of admis-
sion,) and other articles of jewelry. On
Tuesday evening, Miss Ellen A. St. Clair
lecturcd to a fair audience, her subject be-
ing Marriage no Lottery" Miss St. c. is
young, new beginner, and has much to
learn in clocution and punctuation before
she can hope to succeed as leclurcss. We
regret that she had cause tO feel embarrassed
by tho conduct Of very small portion of
the audience, and would say that the man
ncr of "joshins," perpe,ratrd by the portion
of tho audience referred TO, is not only rude
but disrcspcctful to ladies in the auditorium.
And right here We would suggest to Mr.. St.
Clair that he exhibited extremely bad taste,
drawing il very mildly,) in the selection of
his Illustrative anecdotes. The one rcciicd,
although intended as q rcprimand to noisy
boys, vcrgcs closely upon vulgavity, and
was neither new nor witty, and was totally
unfit for the cars of All asscmblagc compos- !
ed in great part of lalics and children. The
lecture room is an Unsolicited place for the
rehashing of stale and vulgar jokes, and is
not in any degree calculated to weld p,pu-
lar sentiment in favor of his entertainment,
to say nothing of the disrcpute it attaches to
the cause which the young ladies who &C.
him have espoused.
