Friends.

f~atrical people have dong said that Butte
best "show" town of its size in the west
heir late experiences are beginning to
them that its inhabitants are discrimin-
as we'll as liberal in their patronage of
htic entertainments. Many of the the
managers who have brought companies
Rntana during the past year seem to lab
der a gross mlsconcsption of the intelii-
and cultivation Of western COM
ies. They evidently form their combi-
ps, not with a view to artistic merit, but
With sn'eyc to cheapness; and we ven-
Ne assertion, that SIP per week is the
pam wages paid for the majority of their
dtalent." In many Of the troupes which

What to do with Grant is the perplexing
%conundrum that is bothering the political god
fathers of the republican party. New York
would elect him a United States Senator, but
Pennsylvania wants him for the same posi-
ton. The New York Times has started a
subscription for the purpose of raising a tund
of $25O,00o for the oldest ex-Presidentliving,
which, of course, means Grant. With this
fund it is proposed to pension him of. Dur
ing all this chatter about himself Grant
quietly smokes his Havanas and observes a
discreet silence. When they all get tired
eli trying to find a place for him the grim old
soldier will find one for himself, backed by
the immortal 3oG. He will be the candidate
for the republican party in lss4-nething less
nor nothing more.

Disastrous Fire.

PORTSMOUTH, NH. 4.-Early this morning
the kearsarge mills were burned and the
Baptist church adjoining the mills is now
burning. 1t Is reported that two employees
named Greenwood persisted. Loss onth mill
will be about halt a million. Nearly $50 Cd.
eratlves are thrown out of work. The occu-
pants had barely time to escape as the flames
encased the stairway and several had to lean
over the flames and some seventy were burn
ed. 1t is only known hat one person was
burned to death. Had the mill been in full
operation as it weuld have been twenty min
uVes iater' the destruction of life would have
been terrible. The building was 2O4 feet
long, 10 feet wide and six stories high with

Garfield is experiencing the penalty of
greatness. His powers of endurance have
lately been put to a very severe test. The
hand-shakings and button-holdlngs to which
he has recently been subjected, have done the
business tor him. Our dispatches state that
he is exhaused and requires rest. He now
announces himself as a ready listener, but
not a talker, for the next three months. If
ing ninety days, with the present abundant
crop Of Ohio office seekers pounding at his
door, he will have earned the exalted station
which he will assume next March.

THE IRISH

Last summer Wendell Phillips introduced
Charles Stewart Parnell to a Boston audience
and alluded to him as sthe man who COM
PEELED John Ball to listen to him." For the
last eight months John has been playing the
role of listener to not only Parnell, but to
Davitt, Collins and a host of others equally
as earnest. At no time during the last eighty
years has he been so attentive and ready to
yield a listening ear to Ireland's distresses.
Heretofore he has been prompt to suppress
every indication of an uprising of the Irish
people. But circumstances are widely differ
ent now. He sees a people who are cemented
together by a common bend of suffering. He
knows, too, that the civilized world has been
busily engaged in relieving that suffering, and
he was too keenly alive to his interests to at.
tempt, in the face of their distress and in the
sight of a sympathizing world, to fog a fam.
ishing people into a%isiIent, ~servile submission
While the land leaguers, which have nov
developed into q powerful Irish party, wers
boldly counseling the non-payment of rem
and resistance 10 the authorities, John wa
casting about him for means by which Ii,
could peacefully allay tine intense excitemen
among his 'liege subjects across the Irisl
channel. They had elected a large numbe
| of home rulers to the present parliament
One OF their objects was to secure an Irisl
parliament for the regulation of domesti
affairs in ireland. Gladstone, it appears
came int power with a strong sympathy 70
the Irish people and exhibited an honest in
t~ention of doing something for their ameliol
