The publication of the poetic adap.

something of a departure from the
time honored custom, but the feelings
of those who FLASHED their red
badges bright" seem to have been
been too deep for expression without
invoking the aid of the muse; and
that class ofour citizens will doubtless
appreciate the productions of our
bright local contributors.
The last sad rites were performed
over the remains Of the lamenteG
Col. Laspeyre yesterday morning.
Funeral services were held at the
Episcopal church, and the remains
were followed to the grave by a large

under the auspices of the [. o. O.. F.

A Model Report.

A well-known mining expert, who
had been worried by the importuni-
ties of a sanguine prospect owner to
make a report on his property, final
ly yielded to the pressure and wrote
a report last week, from which the
following is an extract with the ex-
ception Of the names: "The Blue
Dick mine, located in Madison coun-
ty, owned by John Doe and Richard
Roe, has been developed to a depth of
three feet. This mine shows a
very promising vein of
gneiss, with good indications of
much hard labor ahead. The rock
from this flattering prospect assays
very high in chlorides of assess
ments and sulphates of d-n. If the
character of the ore does not speedily
change. they will both have to get
out their b~low-pipcs and work the
old lunch routes so familiar to them
last winter"
1t is safe to say, the report will not
be exhibited when the ambitious
owners go East to negotiate a sale.

Grand words, MI. Editor! and
surely in great, grand America, the
unenlightened foreigner can best
learn their significance!
Blessed are they who have no such
expectations!
The events of the memorable Butte
excursion of the Sth instant teach a
lesson Of the difference between the
Dry and practice, in this matter, in a
free country. What distinction was
there made between the distinguished
foreign guests and the guests from
home? Which latter were certainly
distinguished, but by marked neglect
and discourtesy.
Hungry and athirst, their souls
tainted within themW Tired and
dazed, they spent weary day and
night. trying to find out what, was
meant by the "hospitality' offered
them, and shown them, on the open
plain and in the long delayed cars.
The Butte peoi lie had full liberty to
go their own ways, uncared for.
They enjoyed equality of suffering;
men with delicate women and
weeping children. Motherly kind
ness Was shown to those within the
sacred pale of the platform, reserved
for the titled or noble, but none to
spare for the specially invited guests
of Butte and Helena. Not alone in
Europe is it that, "Tommy dearly
loves the Lord !"
LIBERTY" said Madame Roland,
''what terrible crimes are committed
in thy name"
Equality! say we, a century later,
what farces are enacted under thy
banners!

Death of George Marsh.

On Friday last the community were
shocked to hear of the prostration of
George Marsh with an attack of
laryngisis, which was more than
likely t terminate fatally. Georges
remarkable size for one of his years
made him well known, and his
bright intellect, quick replies, and
happy disposition endeared him to
all who knew him. The progress
of the disease was watched with
great anxiety, in the hope that some
favorable turn might lend hope for
his recovery, but death had claimed
the suffering boy for its own, and on
Sunday morning he succumbed to
the terrible MALAY with which he
was afflicted. His age was seven
years and eightmouths. His remains
were followed to the grave yesterday
by u large nenlber of sorrowing
friends who deeply sympathise with
the bereaved parents, MI. and Mrs.
George T.. Marsh.

Journalistic Enterprise.

On Saturday, Immediately follow.
ing the conclusion of the speech
making ceremonies at the golden

Herald was placed before its Helena
readers with . complete text of the
address of President Willard, the ora

specially prepared historical sketch
OF the great thoroughfare on that

paper OF the country. and certainly
of Montana, to present the principal
speeches delivered on this memorable
occasion, and with them the interest

Herald.
In view of the fact that the
speeches aud historical sketch re-
ferred to by the Herald were pre-
pared in Chicago and sent out in
printed form to subscribers, by the
Associated Press, a week before the
ceremonies took place, their publica-
ton on Saturday by the Herald
loses interest as an example of phe-
nomenal journalistic enterprise; and
as the printed slips received early
last week by the Herald and other
Associated Pr So papers, were fur
with the condition that thew
should not be published until Sept.
9th, the Herald scarcely makes a
showing as the first
paper" to publish them, on Septem-
.erSth; but the Herald is not alone
in its glory. The Inter Mountain

fishing the Associated Press matter

ions under which it was furnished.
