A Lesson I'm Boxing,

"Pa told my chum and me that it was
no harm to learn to box, cause we could
defend ourselves, and he said he used to
be holy terror with the koxing gloves
when he was a boy, and he has been
giving us lessons. Well, he is no SLOUGH
now / tell you, and handles himself
pretty well for q church member. I
read in the paper how Zach Chandler
played it on Conkling by getting Jem
Mace, the prize fighter, to knock him
silly, and l asked pa if he wouldn't let
me bring poor boy, who had no father
to teach him boxing, to our house to
learn to box, and pa said certainly,
fetch him along. He said he would be
glad to do anything for poor orphan.
SO ! went down in the Third ward and
got an Irish boy by the name of Duffy,
who can knock the socks off of any boy
in the ward. He fit prize fight once.
1t would have made you laugh to see
pa tell him how to hold his hands and
how to guard his face. He told Duffy
not to be afraid, but to strike out and
hit for keeps Duffy said he was afraid
pa would get mad if he hit him, and pa
said, Nonsense, boy, knock me DOWN.
you can, and | will laugh ha har Well,
Duffy he hauled back and gave pa one
in the nose and another in both eyes,
and cuffed him on the ear and punched
him in the stomach, and damned him in
the mouth and made his teeth bleed, and
then he gave him side-winder in both
eyes, and pa pulled off the boxing
gloves and grabbed chair, and we ad.
journed and went down stairs rs though
there was panic. | haven't seen pa
since. Was his eye very black?"
Black? | should say so, said the
grocery man. "And his nose seemed tc
be trying to look in his left ear. He
was at the market buying beefsteak to
put ON it."-Peck'S Sun.

Disguised Greenbackers.

Frank NJ. Hollingswortb, a leading Greenback
politician, disguised with the party selling out
every campaign, stated in an interview yester-
day that the party organization in this county
had been abandoned, and an effort would be
made to organize ga strictly anti
monopoly party, without any Greenback
business in it, During the last campaign he
says a proposition was made to the four principal
candidates on the Republican ticket in this
county to indorse them, and deliver to them
1000 votes for $1,000. The Republicans re-
fused to enter into any such bargain, and the
proposition was then accepted by the
Democratic candidates., the cash being
paid down, with "the understanding
that each should pay 5000 more, or
$12, 900 altogether, If it should be found after
the election that the Democrats had carried the
county by Greenback assistance. The cash went
to the proprietors of the sun, who, it is asserted.
have lost $4,000 in their venture. Only 2S5
Greenback votes were polled, and none of the
Democratic candidates were elected. Dis
gusted and Disappointed, therefore,, the county
organization, Mr.. Holllngsworth states, has been
hopelessly abandoned.

There was an increased attendance at the

"Friend and Foe" by william j. Seaman and
company, and IL was received with as much
FAVOR as on the opening night. A matinee this
AFTERNOON (which, by the way, is the only one in

Seaman will present the K of p. Lodge selling

Jewels. Mrs. Langtry and company nave been
invited to occupy the managers private box
this afternoon at the matinee.
Mrs. Langtry may not be the greatest actress
IN the profession. hut there has certainly been
nothing in her public, or, so far as is known, in
her private life while in this country TO justify
the misrepresentation and insults to which she
mas been subjected by certain newspapers, par
tleularly those of st. Louis and Chicago. Her
acting Is open to every legitimate criticism, but
there is no possible Justification for the scurril-
Gus insinuations and shameful reflections that
have been heaDed upon her. Common courtesy
at least would demand that she should be
treated fairly and justly, but this has in many
instances been denied her.

lion, ana two young bears, played at the opera
house last night. The bears, by II change OF cos
tune, represent hyenas in the last act. The dog
is the best actor OF the lot.

formances are assured.
Brooks & DixOns' great spectacular melo-
drama, "The RomanyR Rye" VIII hold the boards
at the Grand Opera-house all next week, with

greater melodrama attraction on the American
boards than this, and the fact of it having a run
of ten weeks in New York TO the largest bust

larity.

A TALK WITH MRS. LANGTRY.

A representative of the Journal had a
brief chat with Mrs. Langtry in her
dressing-room, during the performance last
night, through the kindness of her
personal manager, Mr.. Schwab. Aside from her
beauty land by the way it is much more striking
when one is near herr it is easy to understand
why she made such IL feature in social circles in
England. She is certainly a most brilliant and
accomplished woman, and her conversational
powers are very striking. She is well up in cur
rent topics, particularly dramatic art and litera-
ture, and she expresses herself with an elegance
and taste that are thoroughly delightful. She
expressed herself as highly pleased with this
country and the many pleasant people she had
met, and did not seem to be at all annoyed by
the many ungracious things that had been said
about her. She made many witty illusions to
the characteristics or Americans which she had
noticed, and was particularly felicitous in her
hasty review of her trip through this country.
Concerning her professional attainments she was
extremely modest, earnestly expressing adesire
that she might so improve that her performances
would command admiration per Sc. In a COM
parisou between the dramatic methods in vogue
in this country and in England, abe showed "A
most striking familiarity with the subject, and
her opinions were entitled to weight, both on
account of their originality aud force. Her
views were expressed clearly and decidedly, and
she talked with much enthusiasm of her homes
and aspirations. IN an incidental reference to
the various newspaper comments on her
personally and professionally, she said
she had the highest respect for
opinions honestly expressed, although they
were adverse to her. But she was disposed 10
think that in some instances she had not been
treated fairly, a fact that is patent to all who
read the papers,.
Mrs. Langtry travels in an elegant palace-car,
in which she generally remains when not at the
theater. She is attended by her maids and Mr..
Frederick Schwabe her personal manager, who
is well known in theatrical circles. Mr.. Charles
A. Mendum has the general management of the
company for Mr.. Abbey.

The above mines are located about six
miles northeast Of Custer in the Harvey
range and were last week purchased by
Messrs. r. II. Hankinson, a prominent
electrician, A. +. Scott, All attorney,
Janney Bros, hardware dealers, and
Capt. N. Z. Chapman, all Of Minneapolis,
Mimi, the latter gentleman being in
charge Of the property. On last Thurs
day our reporter paid a visit to the
mines and was surprised at the showing
made. The locations lay on onc Of the
highest points in the range and both
are covered with groupings Of mica Of
good size, in fact, the surface indications
are the best w have seen in the county
that has produced thousands of pounds
OF that mineral, and there Is no doubt
but that a thousand dollars or so ex-
pended in opening up will place them
among the largest producers in the coun-
try. AT present six men are employed
and the work done shows that the mica
is not all on the surface. An open cut
has been run in about 80 feet with a 80
foot face. this and the south side Of the
show several thousand pounds Of
mica in sight, while above this is an
other open cut the floor Of which is all
in mica, and it would not surprise us if
Capt. Chapman did not have mica fit for
market before the expiration Of many
more weeks. Experience has taught us
that the most favOrably located mines
can not be made se~lf-sustaining by their
product from, the start, bat in this
instance, ii is our opinion that not near
as much will he required to put the
mines on a paying basis and prove them
q veritable bonanza. as has been neces-
with the other mines Of the coun-
try.
