The Club was called to order promptly at
steen O'Clock, Ar Cuff in the chair. The
minutes Of the last meeting were read ard
disapproved. Mr.. Hull objected to the minutes
as read on the ground that the Secretary was
no judge of the value of time. He had
proven himself to be utterly Irresponsible in
every sense of the word, and being mere
tline-server, was consequently not 4 proper
person to Keep tre minutes. He made mo-
tl"n that they be Rewritten. Mr.. Huff was
then LAID under the table, and his motion
laid on the table. Mr.. Duff arose TO point
OF order. 1t was evident, said he, that Mr..
Huff nd been ndulging TOO freely in the
cup that cheers and inebriatss. He had
watched him during the afternoon, and had
been obliged TO drink some ten or htteen
, cocktails himself in order to exhaust Mr..

hat. There was silence in the Club for the

to be para yZsd. Mr.. Puff arose iualy, and
said that practical joking had scored its tens
of thousands OF victims, and he moved that a
| doctor be sent for at III. Clubs expense as
well as 4 missionary from the Goou Temp
lars to minister to the moral and physca
condition OF Messrs. II uff and Duff. At lnis
moment Mr.. Huff raised his head from u,tde!

THE FUTURE OF BUTTE.
Lsadville and It's Railroad.

Many persons in Butte look for ssme mark
ed and speedy results from the coming of the
railroad. Some entertain more. or less
gloomy idea that railroads as q rule exert
bad influence on mining camp, aud destroy
much of the peculiar life and mining activity
which is supposed to flourish better in isolated
Camps. Others look for an Instantaneous i'm
provement III every channel of business, and
will be disappointed if they do not discover
the improvement. But no substantial and
permanent change sfor the better, in
towns and cities any more than in men, comes
at once. Leadvile went through much tie
same experiment as the one which will short
ly be- consummaled in Butte by the entrance
of the trains of the Utah " n orthern. Before
the completion to Leadville of the Denver &
Rio Grande and the Denver and South Park
narrow guage roads, in.the summer Of 1880,
that city had reached the climax Of its i'm
partance as mining bonanza, built up with
the speed OF great expectations. Its growth
was enlinently specu lative, and the standard
OF values was in consequence largely ticti-
LlOuS. LOJS SoiQ one week 1Or fourteen QOl-
lars and the next for thousand. Business
and every day life seemed infected with the
sensational elements of luck, which made
poverty stricken prospectors drop into bo-
nanza. Now, when the railroads really did
reach Leadville their first effect WAS to lower
values and carry away tie larger part Of liz
floating population, 30 that now it has severa
thousand fewer people than four years ago
This furnished an apparently invincible ar
| sument to the croGkers. They did not fore
see, however, that this was substantial
change for the better, that the growth 0
Leadvills as a business place began at once
but gradually. Now its commercial life i
comparatively conservative and sound. Will
such marked changes cannot be looked for il
Butte, for the reason that it has. develope,
growth slowly and out Of its own resources
still, for that very reason, the improvemen 4

ably more speedily apparent than i'll the cas-

sensations Of Freezing to Death

A Western woman, recently restored to
consciousness, describes the sensations at
tending freezing to death as follows:
"Thousands Of coored lights danced before
her eyes; the roar of thousand cannons WAS
resounding in her ears, and her feet tingled
as if m iliion needle points were sticking ill
TO them as she walked. Then feeling OF
drowsinsss came over her. A delightful teel-
ing Of Isssitude ensued-a freedom from all
earthly care and woe. Her babe was warm
and light az feather in her arms. The air
was redolent with the breath of spring. A
delightful melody reseunded in her ears She
sank to rest on downy pillows, with the
many cold red lights dancing before her in
resplendent beauty, and knew nsthing more
until she was brought to her senses"
We have accounts Of low it feels to lie
drowned and hanged, but to freeze We think
is preferable. Those who contemplate sui
eide might do well to pay some attention to
the freezing method.

Trees as a Check to CONFEDERATION.

A Sacramento (Cal paper bears tes-
timony that in Sacramento disastrous
and widespread conflagrations have
frequently been averted, almost solely
through the agency of shade trees. The
trees serve to prevent the passage of
burning debris through the air-the
embers of which would otherwise be
blown from house to house and from,
block to block, being caught in the up
per branches and falling harmlessly to
the ground. In the summer trees act
as screens between houses and blocks,
moderating the heat of fires and inter
posing barrier which is seldom passed
by the flames. When we add to these
very practical considerations the value
of trees in breaking the force of the
wind, enhancing the beauty of city
and atfording a grateful shade to pc
destrians, it will be seen that trees,
planted along city streets, pay for
themselves many times and in many
different ways. A community which
acts on the suggestion thus enforced
not only ministers to it's aesthetic taste
and promotes culture and the love of
beautiful, but erects barrier against
fires, and checks the spread of confla-
grations in one Of the simplest and
most common-sense ways conceivable.
