Theatrical and Social.

Tie social world of Butte is stirred at
present by a number OF peaceable tempests,
which though not existing in a teapot, draw
their inspiration from that shrine Of feminine
influence. There is Esther to begin with,
which is a social and dramatic success. Then
there is the Butte Dramatic Cluh, "hi2h i'll
tends at an early dale to paralS ze the good
people of a neighboling village which is M
fortunate enough TO have in some way in
cured the clubs enmity. Then there is H."
Bullion Club now IN a we'll established ii
nanclal and social basis, which on Friday
will score one more OF its seasons triumplIs.
Lastly bat hT no manner of Iusans Of least
Importance it becomes our duty to mention
the newly organized nti-Dramatic Cub,
which bids ia. r to shake tie other aud older
organizations "from turret to foundation
stoIie," and become the centre of a glittering
circle of social HOMAGE.

SUCCESSFUL RENDITION

ln'o"s That to 1t nothing need be added.
men The curtain rose last night on the
opening chorus of BradbGry's cantats, "Oueen
Esther and the glad, true voices of friends
ana Relatives resounded through the hall,
The heart of the audience went out at once To
lie perform r., and from that moment the
hfst representation of Esther was a pro-
nounced succ ess. .
Every available seat in the room
was occupied long before the curtain
rose. Ill" stage, the costumes and
lie scenic efiects were q delightful sur
Prise TO all. The princil al characters iusti-
led the charge so often made against anna
teNrS,--thaf they do not face their audience,
but again and again wor and deserved eutll-
slaotIc applause.
Miss Wallace as Queen Esther, Mir. Dellen
as MordecGi, Mr.. Dutlet as Hannah, ard Mr..
Speck as the King, divided honors fairly.
There Is u charm in female youth
and loneliness, especially when clothed
IL white, which inspires at once a spoutaue-
Gus burst OF admiration in every heart, so
that the fact that Miss Wallace's voice was no.
strong III the upper registers, did not at all de-
tract from The general effect produced by lis
de!lcacy and sweetness. Her action was uu.
affected and her costumes extremely becom-
ing.
MIR. Deilen's voice won for him, however,ap
exceptionally large share in the public al
milalion. It was too strong for the hall, and
sometimes for his management, but strength
combined with truth aud purity, as ia his
ease, is high praise. The King and Hamar
sung the drinking song in the first act with 9
spirit and harmony which left the audience
perfectly at ease as TO the rest " their per.
~formance, which cd -. alike 10 theil
singing, their ac.,ng and their costuming
They both showed good stage presence anC
won enthusiastic admiration. Zeresh and tho
Prophecies sung with all casa and precision

and in their execution and spirit the latte

THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN.
Second Renoition OF Esther, in Capae
lice Hall.

The audience at the second performance Of
the cantata Esther was larger than the one Of
the night before, and, being more fsmilis..
with the music, enjoyed the singing to better
advantage. I've performers had woI Al off the
natural diffidence attending a first representa-
ton, and played with more spirit and free-
dom.
1t is impossible, from lack Of space, to nc
ticc the performance of eaca individual, and
as the poet mas well said, where all do SO
well, it might be invidious to partic Jlarlze.
We think, however, that the ca -sful, yet
graceful and spiI tied singing of Mr.. Speck as
King Ahasuerus, aud Miss Wallace as Queen
Esther, deserve to be mentioned as the dis
tinguishing features of last nights entertain
nent.
The part of Zeresh affords scope for fine
singing and effective acting, and was rem
dcred BY Miss Lincoln with full appreciation
Of is merits.
The makeup of Mr.. Penrose as High
| Priest as elaborate and becoming, and the
general appearance Of the ladies and gentle
men provoked man compliments for their
trainer and the stage manager. In no case
did the singing or acting of the principal
! characters dwarf the performance of the many
ladies' and gentlemen filling subordinate
roles, 90 even was the excellence displayed
by one and all.
Among the many handsome costumes
those Of Miss Lincoln as Zeresh, and Mis-
Read and Miss Long, members of the Persian
chorus, were particularly noticeable for their
artistic conception and splendid finish. It.
deed the costumes displayed at these per-
formances are strikingly attractive and efrec-
tive. Particularly agreeable to the audience
has been the absence of waits between acts,
and the smoothness with which the entire
performances progressed from beginning to
end.
Ii IS not generally known that one or two
at least of the airs in Esther, as given in Ca
plice Hall, are the original productions of
Professor Speck and that the substitution
has met with hearty appreciation. But with
out the charming accompaniment Of Mrs.
Siegel at the piano, and the faithful and mas
terly performance OF the orchestra, consisting
Ct Messrs. Dusseau, Fitschen aud Marsh, the
efforts Of the trainer and stage manager
would have been of no avail. With equal
truth it may be said that Mr., Stenberg, the
scene painter, was remarkably successful in
frightening the illusion and carrying back
the observer 10 the sixth century before
Christ.

THE GAGNON CASE.
Decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States.

All mining men and property owners in the
district will be interested to hear that a de-
c;sion has just been rendered in the long
legal contest for the possession Of the Gagnon
mine. This claimant in the case was John G.,
Belk, who brought an action of aiactment
against Antoine Gagnon and Patrick Ii.
Meagher-who located the claim February u,
1877, on the "Original" lode, ard the present
owner, who hold under the same title.
Belk's title was based on the fac5 that he
Il a location III 1876, which he claimed
embraced the Gsgnon. His location was
made twenty days before the former location
won be lmpable under the law for non
representation. AS soon as the twenty days
elapsed Meagher and Gagnon again located
the claim, 1t having previously been held by
Col. Thornton under another title, and the
present owners of the mine, Messrs. Thorn
ton, Rosenthal and Kelly, hold under and by
virtue of the last location of Gagnon and
Meagher. Belk's counsel pressed the point
that his title took its inception during the
twenty days already mentioned, and became
complete as soon as they elapsed and before
Gagnon and Meagher entef cd. The case
was decided in favor of the defendants IN the
Territorial courts, which decision has now
been affirmed by the Supreme Court of tie
L niled States, gu which we offer our corr
grstulations. Ar. w. W. Dixon, john c. Rob
insou, Esq, of Robinson 81 Stapleton. OF

WICKEDNBSS.
Developed in the Butte Police Court

A celebrated Spanish author drew a word
pa. rtins of a blrd's-eye view of the capital
of Spain, at midnight, with all the roofs re-
moved, and the interior of every house I'M
veilsd 10 the gaze of the observer. The
startling scene of d~ebauchery ana crlm;.ali-
ty which would be revealed in any city by
such a process, is difficult to realize. And
yet there is to be seen and heard every day
in our sunicipal court evidence of the utter
drprav.tv Of human nature which would
bring a blush to tlls cheek of the most hard
eled. 1t is q pity, too, that habit DESTROYS
the adherence wtich is al first felt for vice.
since our police officers and magistrates are
thus subjected to such a terrible strain by
their necessary and daily familiarity with it's
most odious forms. The poet has very truly
said
"Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
AS TO be hated needs but to be seen
Yetseen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace =
1t is not then difficult to realize the respon-
sIbiliiy OF an otiice-and its wear aud tear on
the morals, which brings before one every
day vile MEN ana viler women. The delicate
dawn of virtue is gradually brushed from tie
Geek, which becomes hardened. Now John
Doe and Richard Roe have contributed more
to bring about this unfortunate stat. of
things in our midst Than all The rest Of oul
citizens together. In the last three days the
police docket Shows that John has assaulted
Richard three times, and that Richard has re-
tallated twice, at a total expense Of St25.
Then a cook, Who is thought was a relation Of
Doe, beat up a waiter, who may or may 10,
have been a member Of the Roe fanlily.
This, too, On the Sabbath day. Lastly &
miner came down from the hills, aud swoIs
by The Powers he would run the town. When
brought before the court, he attempted to rur
that also, indulgillg in language which cast
decided reflection o. the ancestry of all pres
ent. Cold applications, however, and a fr,
of $50 restored him to Consciousness. LIE
us then be more charitable to the short-com
ings of those who xre every day brought Intt
the society of the of-scourings of the race.
