Isaac Lauer delivered the denuncia-
ton with merciless severity, consinc-
ing Cataline he had no friends 10 the
Senate who dared openly to join their
fate with his; and John Barry nicely
appealed to the somewhat restless
spirit Of the few Senators who were
known or suspected Of being Cata-
lines friends, on the righteousness of
the sentence. Altogether it was q
very credItable effort, and reflected
great credit on students and teacher.
Nettie Monlton, assisted by the
glee club. sang DAISY BELIEF Net
tie has a strong, ringing voice, sym
pathetic and rich in its middle regis
ter. Idaho City is blessed in the pos
session Of SO many rich voices, and
Nettie has one Of them. Daisy BELIEF

moniously rendered, and ii was APP

ed by an encore repetition Of the
song.
The Brass Band, with polished horns.
again marched to the foot-lights, and,
after an introduction of rich arrange
ment, started off into a medley Of r.
ism airs, and played them well.
There Was an Old Woman Who
Lived in Shoe" concluded the enter
tanment. There was the old shoe,
much larger than life. crowded with
those little children with whom the
poor old lady ELLEN Smith) "didn't
know what to do.' Emma. Jones, Pau

ception practiced. But he gives toys
and books only to good boys and girls,
and he must necessarily find out if
these were good. To do this his per-
sonation Of a beggar, and his comic
song, were very well done. To the
time Of Balm of Gilead' the children
marched around and filed his wallet
with food from their scanty store. In
IA moment the beggar was transformed
into Santa Claus, and muttering ca
balistic words tore down the old shoe
and exposed wellloaded Christmas

with lavish hand on all sides by Santa
Claus, the Dame and her numerous
progeny 1t was success.
Prot. Butler thanked the audience
for their generous patronage, an
nounced that another entertainment
would be given on January 2, 1880,
and hoped to see as many faces pres
ent then as he did now.
The entertainment was listened to
by the audience, which was the larg-
est seen in Idaho City for many a
loug day, with the greatest attention.
Some little trouble was had regarding
reserved seats, and it is only in Justice
to the ushers-Robert Davis and John
Barry-to say it was not their fault.
Several persons of the gentler sex
went and sat down in the reserved
seats, and, although politely asked by
the ushers to vacate in favor of those
who had paid extra money for these
privileges, fatty refused to change
seats Had they been men they could
have been moved. The result was
that a great many parties were bro
ken mp. The ushers and managing
committee assure this shall not happen
again.

tender manner, next sang Little
Footsteps and again confirmed the
opinion that she has voice of extern
slve register, and one that will grow
stronger under careful training.
The sketch champion of Her Sex. =
was well played and well received.
The characters were well up in their
parts, and played them in such "a way
as to show they entered well into the
spirit of the characters assumed An
ma Snhlsen, as the grandmother, and
Hattie Foster as the orphan were sue
cesses. Minnie Martin as the cham
plon carried the character well. Jul
Ia Foster and Clara Garrecht as cook
and chambermaid were frst-rate and
looked and played their characters to
a L, while Nettie Moult0n, Lizzie IRE
casks and Anna Martin in their dual
characters gave such zest to their
acting that the whole piece was big
success.
The same bright faces appeared
and the same rich voices sang, when
the curtain rose for the third time on
the school for ga Beautiful Hunting
Morning" They sang so well, with
SO much spirit that the old hunting
spirit crept into many heart, and a
good galop would have been enioyed
much better if had right after this
song.
Scandal on the Brain" was album
dainty shown to be innate in rs. We
are all more or less touched with it.
As Aunt Harding (Lulu Miller) said
"lts bad enough in old folks, but Lor

perfectly awful" Hattie Hayes as
Sue, Sadie McClintock as Emma, who
is always afraid of Aunt Harding,
Nettie Muulton as Loud Lizzie, and
Minnie Martin as Gossip too plain

Julia Foster, Idaho City's young
est prima donna, sang "Nobody's OAR
ling" in splendid style. Julia, our
"Ioodie," has a magnificent voice,
round, resonant, and Of extensive reg
lister, and as Prof. Butler is soon to
take few of the select voices in his
school under special training, we pre-
dict that "Toodie" will prove orr opin-
ion to be a true one, that she has one
of the finest voices on the Pacic coast.
She was loudly encored, and in res
ponse sang another verse of "Nobody's
Darling" The glee club rendered
valuable assistance in the chorus.

The arrival at Philadelphia from Europe
last Wednesday vessel containing two
elephants, one llama, one ostrich, one
hippopotamus, one llemir, one warthog,
one king vulture and number of cockatoos
for an American menagerie. Although
the passage was an unusually rough one.
all the animals arrived safe and sound, but
considerably out of humor, and the task
Of unloading them was not easy. How
this was accomplished the Philadelphia
Pres thus describes: THE male elephant
was the first to leave the ship. But little
difficulty was encountered IN leading hum
into the car prepared for hosting him to
tine main deck. thence on to the war;, and
without any noise or trouble he misplaced
in the railroad car in WAITING. As soon
Us he had left the hold the female elephant
scanned the hatchway, and seeing no more
OF her mate, began to snort and groan,
plainly displaying her grief. When the
car returned to carry her aloft the men
found that she was not inclined to take a
short aerial voyage, and the job Of putting
her safely into the car and keeping her
there was the work of time and much pull
ling and pushing. When finally she was
on terra firma, she walked peacefully to
the railroad car, and when she saw that
there was about foot's apace between
the platform and the car, she deliberately
placed her head between her fore legs,
bending the latter to the knees, set up a
terrible whining, aud once or twice
looked to see if the hole was still there.
This che continued to do, against the most
earnest protestations of her attendants,
until board was produced, when she rose
on her feet, and still having her sea legs
on began to swing to and fro, and then
gradually testing the strength Of the plank
walked deliberately into the car. Upon
being placed again alongside of her mate.
she gave evidence Of satisfaction, and the
ner which their last ten days life had
accustomed them to. 1t was with con-
siderable coaxing and ordering that the
hippopotamus was induced to go into her
box, to be unloaded, and she made several
strenuous effort to bite her keeper, but
the mnssave jaws were fortunately too
slow. and the keeper managed to keep
out of their range. She was finally placed
in the car. andthe loading of the other
animals and birds was proceeded with,
each speclman having a separate box.
While the warthog was awaiting his turn.
he showed his evident displeasure at being
penned up by pushing off board in the
side of his box and endeayoring to escape.
This gives some idea of the great strength
the animal possesses in his head and paws,
for the box had been securely nailed and
fastened by the carpenter. After the col
lection was safely ensconced in the car.
the door was locked and they proceeded
on their way to Louisville. Kentucky"

One thing else abort Boston people before

eyes. All the older musicians, scholars,
authors, composers, who's names have made
Boston famous in the world ofletter and
art, whose fame is as broad as the continent,

along on the street and in the library
without the use Of glasses, that is. so far
as have been able to observe. On the
other hand, the younger class Of literateurs
and students are unanimously shortsighted.
Young men here wear eye glasses as young
men in Montana wear revolvers, and young
men in Chicago carry samples Of cordwood
for canes. have seen boys eleven years
old come along the street glaring at the
timid stranger through huge eyeglasses
that beamed in the distance like gig lamps.
Once in a while, when you are just grow

slender youth will suddenly loom up beside
you and glover down upon You through a
pair of blue ones, and the effect is very
startling. Do you know, | believe there
are babies born in Boston with spectacles
on? ! do not positively know Of such
case, but when you see a child eighteen
months old riding along in its cab with
pair Of horn eyeglasses straddling its
nose you can't resist the impression that
the baby was born that way, and would
bleed to death if the spectacles were cut
off. But l have got acquainted with two
or three pairs Of these spectaclcs, and |

lest Americans.
From the New York Tribune.
The bay Psalm Book, which sold at
the Brinley sale for 1900, was not alone
remarkable in the fact that it was proba-
bly, the first book printed in America, and
is now very rare. Moses Colt Tyler. In
his History Of American Literature"
says it will be forever memorable as a sort
of prodigy among the literary productions
Of our first period-''a poetic phenomenon
happily unique, We may hope, in all the
literatures Of English speech" II was the
joint production of the chief divines of the
country, each of whom took a separate
portion Of the original Hebrew for trans
lation. Richard Mather, one of the ia
nous Mather family. wrote the preface.
which is Characteristic bit of Puritan
prose, very Hebraic In learning. very hero
ic in conscientiousness. sharp and minute
In opinion. quaint In phrase" Ii is the
appalling sincerity" of these men which
must. in Professor Tvler's opinion, cover
the multitude of sins they have committed
IN their use Of the English language.
There are in IL sentences wrenched about
from end TO end, clauses heaved up and
abandoned IN chaos, words disembowesed
or split quite in two in the middle" The
verses seem to have been Hammered out
on an anvil by blows from blacksmith's
sledge." ''Letus now read for our iui-
provement." continues the professor, "a
part Of the Fifty eighth Psalm:"

Oh! be vas - gay q the birds of Spring,
A. gay - the blithesome quail;
And he biscked his boots and he siayed his fac
And he donDed his swallow-tsil.
Oh! he took from the peg his sweet guitar,
A. sweet % the maple-sap;
He hssed his hand to the Evening Star,
Nor dreamed he Of mishsp.
Oh! the maiden slept in the third floor front
She slept with peaceful snore;
But the minstrel came with his wild guitar,
And sang his lay galore.
Oh! the maiden woke with ffightful scream,
She called for her dear papa;
For she didn't know that the hofTid noise
Was made by . sweet guitar.
Oh! the old man shouldered his cross-cut saw
He loosed his bulldog grim,
And he cast one look ct the sad-eyed youth
And be shot At his eye-bal-bim!
Oh! the morrow dawned on an awful scene
Sing hey 70 the Morning Star!
For Al that was left of the sad-eyed youth
Were the strings of his sweet guitar.
