Concert Takers.

Alexander Dumas speaks in one OF
his novels of the Partisan custom OF
using the opera as convenient place
for gossip. The young beaux, ignoring
the music and the singers, talk aloud OF
the latest social celebrity, and newest
style of dress-cane, or the latest bon
mot at the club.
Those plebeians who are present to
listen to the music are annoyed, but
there is no way of stopping the ''chin-
chinning' of these dandies except by
the music lovers crying Silence!
silencew Even the respite lasts only
for few minutes. A fresh arrival
again starts up the tongues of the gos-
sips, and the honest Frenchman who
has paid his money to hear the famous
cantatrice is cheated out of his evenings
entertainment.
In our days, the ill-bred people who
deliberately talk aloud, or even Whisper,
at concert, or oratoric, though COM
paratively few. still live Unfortunate
", the long suffering public has not yet
found way to teach those offenders
against good manners that in concert
room there are people whose right to
hear they are bound to respect. Occa-
sionally this class of disturbers are re-
buked by their own sins.
A magnificent passage from the ora
torio of "Elijah' was once being rem
dered, at Providence, before an enthu-
siastic and delighted audience. In the
center of the house sat two ladies,
whose conversation was so absorbing as
to make them needless of audience and
music. The passage was approaching
it's climax, and the two friends were
forced to raise their voices.
Suddenly the music stopped, to al
low an effective pause, before the theme
was resumed Thrt ugh the stiffness,
made more impressive by the cessation
of so many instrument and voices, came
shrill woman's voice.
Il put butter in mine"
The two women had been talking
about cooking-rece:pts. They had not
anticipated any stop in the music, so
that when it came, the sentence about
the butter filled the gap. The music
went on after little commotion among
the singers, but every glass in the house
was levelled at the two offenders, max
ing them thoroughly uncomfortable.
A wag remarked to friend, at the
close of the concert, "Her words were
softer than butter, yet they pierced her
as if they had been drawn swords. -

Lieut., Greeley and men are progress
ing favorably. Greeley less so, per-
haps, than the others. Yesterday he
exhibited symptoms of great fatigue
and weakness. He is talking too
much and the constant in
terviewiug operates unfavoraby. He
was taken for q drive yesterday
up the valley to Waterford bridge
and gloated upon the beautiful sum-
mer prospect which was in marked
contrast to the black sterrilities so
recently experienced. The trees, he
said, with exuberant enthusiasm,
look so beautiful to an eye that has
seen no vegetation for over three
years. The green fields give me new
life. Greedy is the guest of the city,
and private houses and carriages are
at his disposal. and every kindness
and attention is paid him. Each
member of the party forms the GEN.
tre of listening and admiring groups
and goes over and over the recital of
the terrible past. There will be me-
mortal service for the dead in all the
churches of the city tomorrow, when
sermons will be
preached.

ScOllling.

While visiting at a friends house
once, said lady in the New York Post,
she asked me to go to her desk for
something, and l saw there, on opening
the lid, motto written by herself and
evidently intended for no one else. 1t
said: "Do not sold; do not fret"
Yes" she said, in answer to an in
quiring look, Il was obliged to put it
there. 1 wasn't very we'll, little things
troubled me, and it is SO natural to
speak of them; but 1 noticed that, after
a little while, that when in the morn
ing, early before school or breakfast,
I began to speak Of the wrong-doings of
any member of the family. the wrong
doings and the tendency to speak Of
them increased alarmingly all through
the day, and I discovered that if were
silent the opposite were true; and l
began to earnestly believe, as l never
did before, that my own soft words
turned away my own wrath; and isn't
that what it really means? for it fre-
ouently happens that other peoples
wrath is increased by that very course. :"

Only bloom to fade and die;
Angry billows round us surging
Down the stream of life we 60.
Shall we find home in heaven:
Answer, yes or no?
On the broad highway OF action
We are striving all for fame,
Though we win and wear our laurcls
What are they but a name:
Never think we of the future
As we wander to and fro,
Shall we find home in heaven?
Answer, yes or no?
Climbing up the ragged pathway,
Some have reached the dizzy height
Though we crown them with due honor
Are they free from care and strife:

In the high and lofty mansions
Ladies, decked with costly lace,
Never think of poor unfortunates
Who are drudging at the base.
Though around the weary toilers
Chilly winds of winter blow,
Shall they find home in heaven:
Answer, yes or no:
In the glittering halls ofpleasure
Revel they in gilded sins,
Never pausing for reflection
Let another enter'in.

Poor frail mortals here below.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Admiral
Nichols. acting secretary of the navy,
issued orders to Commander Schley
this afternoon to remain at ST.
.John's so long as necessary to COM
nlete the encasing of the dead of the
Greely party in caskets, and then to
nrocped with his three vessels, the
Thetis, Bear and Alert, with tide sur.
yivors and dead to Portsmouth, N.
H., where he will await further Or
ders, and where members of the
Greely party and relief expedition
can become acclimated before pro-
ceeding south.
Gen. Hazen is annoyed by the crit
iclsms which have been made repre-
septing the non-establishment OF
depot near Cape Sabine, on the west
coast of the channel, and has pre-
pared the following memoranda in
respect to the matter: It was the
plan from the first to place q depot
upon the east bank of Greenland, at
Littleton Island. This was Greely's
plan, after a very careful and pro-
ionged study of the whole subject.
He not only made the plan before he
started, but very carefully reiterated
it in writing after reaching Lady
Franklyn bay, closing his letter on
the subject in these words: mo de-
viations from these instructions
should be permitted. Latitude of
action should not be given to any
relief party who on an unknown
coast are searching for men who
know their plans and orders"
The reasons for this decision were
that there was coal on the east side
and none on the west. 1t was in the
neighborhood of friendly Esquimaux
who did not live on the west side.
On the east side, there was abundant
game, while there was none on the
west. Numerous camps of explorers
had been established on the east
side, for the above reasons. while
they were never established on the
west side, because the west side was
scarcely more than barren rocks.
The pledge of the signal office to sup
port Gleely in exact accord with
this arrangement was most sacred.
Any departure from it would have
been a base treachery. This was
done in every particular. Retro
spectively, one may now see other
plans that might have been done, but
making personal judgments, we must
place ourselves in the position of
Greely and those who were working
with him three years ago At the
time he left the signal office was con-
demned by a court of inquiry, be-
cause it did not depart from this
agreement, so far rs to establish
depot going up, instead Of coming
down, if it failed to reach Lady
Franklyn bay, as Greedy had di-
rected, but it seems now that had it
been done, Greely could not have
reached it, as explained in his dis.
patch, for reasons then not fOreseen.

4 Severe Penalty Self Inflicted.

In last Sunday mornings issue of the MINER
mention was made Of some cattle stealing, the
discovery and recognition Of one Of the stolen
animals that had been slaughtered hanging in
the bushes near certain cabin the arrest OF
the parties living in the cabin, the acquittal of
one Of the party and the escape of the other
The one who escaped had hard time of it.
Seeing the officer coming toward his house he
hastily gathered up his gun and hat, and max
ing for the bushes back of his cabin, escaped.
He got out into the mountains where he wan
dered for two days without q mouthful of food,
not being able to find any game of any kind,
with no matches to enable him to make fire
at night, without coat or blanket and afraid to
come near house for fear Of being arrested.
Starvation at last drove him in and about four
O'Clock one morning he knocked at the door OF
one of his friends in Butte and told this friend
After eating he learned from his friend that
creditor hearing of this theft had sent an
officer from town to attach his property for
debt. The fugitive said he was glad oft and
expressed willingness to make all his property
over to his creditors. saying that he was so
heartily ashamed of what he had done that he
intended to give up all his property here and
skip the country. He said he did not intend to
be arrested if he could help it, but if arrested
would confess that he and the man who had
been arrested for the ofense and acquitted had
committed the theft Why he ever stole the
calf no one knows. and he was unable to
explain it himself. He wasa ,well-to-do rancher
had his rancho free from debt and owned quite
a band of horses. He says he was persuaded to
it by the persistent solicitation of the man who
staid with him. However that may be, he feels
and is unwilling to come back TO his
home. He has paid heavier penalty, of his
own intlicting, than the law or even his neigh
bors would have adjudged for his offense. He
has given his property, his rancho, his band of
horses. in short, all he has except his gun and
the clothes he has on his back, and has left the
country on foot and IS tugitive-suffering for
this error, as he has, in his own mind, it is safe
to say that his life from this time and onward
will be one Of two extremes; he will either be-
come desperate law-defying wretch or man
who will not take penny lift were to save his
