WHAT WE GOT on THE Fly

Judge Smith and George Yule at
tended the ball at Crested Butte the
other night, and everybody knows
that they are old citizens in Gunnison
county. We happened to be seated
near them and overheard the follow
ing conversation:
SmtkA.-Who is that young fellow
dancing with this lady?
ul<.-Why he is a lawyer from
Irwin. heard the boys calling him
Neddy and inquired his name and
they say it is Mr.. Dewey. y
S.-What kind of coat is that he
has got on Wehad no such fandangos
as this five Or six years ago when We
first came here. How times, do change!
WHY YOU ought to know what
kind of coat that is, didn't you go
east this winter? Oh. you didn't go
any farther than Missouri. That's SO.
Why that is a claw-hanmcr coat. l
saw lots OF them at Pitkln's reception
last winter in Denver. Had 4 notion
to get one myself.
S.-You say he is a lawyer, we'll he
can't be in the law business very long
in this country because lawyers here
don't get to wear such good clothes.
Well amt he dressed to kill. There
is girl by his side fxin' her hair by
the reflection from his boots, they
shine SO. Who is that lady wal:zing
with ]. B. Thompson, the cashier of
the bank?
Y-That is the wife of ]. K. Rob-
lnson, superintendent of the c. c. &
l. Co. Why you ought to know Jim
Robinson. He was here with us in 10.
S.-Why certainly l know Jim.
Just had long talk with him. He
ought to be proud of that lady, be-
cause she looks as though she was
about as nice as they make 'em. am
glad to see Jim get along so we'll, for
there is no boy more deserving of sue
cess than he. He has made himself
quite popular here with the people,
and by the way they. are talking Of
running him for mayor.
Y-Well, if he runs he will get
there, and they could put up no better
man, for he will not work in the inter
est of any click or ring. Why would
not J. B. Thompson make good man
for mayor?
S.-Oh, he is too short. When the
boom strikes up this way it will go
right on over his head up to Irwin,
and then he had rather be behind the
counter discountlng the warrants.
Y-Don't Irwin turn out a gay
crowd. Why there is one lady looks
as though she had lust come from
Paris. You don't see many wall
flowers among that crowd, for they
all pitch in to have jolly time. By
the way Col. Brown was not feeling
very we'll, SO he went up to lay down.
Let us 60 up and see him.
S-What room is he IN?
Y-Room 33 is the Irwin head
quarters, seems to be. There goes Dr..
Forhan up now. guess he IS going
to pseacribe for him. Isaw him going

A PRESENTATION.

A nice little affair occurred at the resi-
dence of Mr. Thomas Sproat Tuesday night.
The Broom Brigade met there for exercise
previous to It's appearance upon the stage
at the Opera House; and after the usual
drill had been gone through with, Miss La
Crone, one OF the Brigade, stepped forward
and, in a brief little informal speech pre-.
sented Mr.. Phil, G. Barclay, the drill mas
ter, with a very handsome gold headed
cane, remarkng as she handed it over, that
II the glit were put to no other use it could
serve as an instrument of punishment for
those members Of the brigade who we're
dlsobedient or inattcntvc. Mr. Barclay
was completely taken by surprise. In fact
he at first did not pay close attention to
Miss La Crones words, thinking that she
WAS but making come commonplace re
marks about the past, present and future
of the brigade; and when he realized the
truth his confusion was the greater. But
he managed TO express his thanks very
briefly
The cane is beautifully carved. The
head bears Mr. Barclays monogram and
around the sides are engraved the letters
"B. b." meaning "Broom Brigade" 1t
was rnco testimonial Of esteem from the
brigade which owes its perfect training as
much to Mr., Barclays disinterested efforts
as to the quick perceptions and willingness
of itB members.

The EgYntian Problem.

The Egyptian problem is narrowing
down gradually. France has, either
through regard for heT pocket or fear Of
Bismarck, concluded that she was alto
gether premature in her late policy. NJ.
de Freycinet announces, in effect, that
the Paris Cabinet are content to leave the
restoration of order in Egypt to the
Forte and Arabi, provided the powers
so decree. In other words, France finds
that she has no interests in Egypt that
require her Intervention iii the affairs of
that country, and, sitter promising Eng
land her cooperation, leaves John Bull
the choice of fighting all who may op-
nose him, on reaching the same conclu-
sion arrived at by mis- ancient enemy and
late ally. II looks as though England
intended to have maintained the stand
she had taken, but there is a movement
on foot among certain classes in London
and elsewhere to convince Mr.. Gladstone
that British interests in Egypt are much
magnlfed. Mr.. Gladstone does not ap-
pear to be concerned as to the fate of
British residents, and whether it is worth
while to enter upon costly war
to protect British holders of
Egyptian securities is q problem that he
will probably settle in the negative.
The Suez canal is far safer without a
British guard than it would be with
one. Arab has played his part well,
and whatever he may further accom-
plish, he has shown the decadence of
the so called Western powers Sedan is
fresh in the memories of Frenchmen,
and British hlnster is louder but more
harmless than ever, .
