 The Cashier of the Boston Loan Co.,, VIM. E.

OLD LETTERS.

10 seems but yesterday she died, but years
Have passed since then; the wondrous change
OF time
Makes great things little, little things sublime
And sanctifes the dew of daily tears.
She died, as all must die; no trace Hppelrs
In history's page nor save In my poor rhyme
OF her, whose life was love, whose lovely
prime
Passed sadly where no sorrows are, nor fears
II seems hut yesterday; to-day read
A few short letters In her own dear hand,
And doubted If 'tWore truo Their tender
grace
Seems radiant with her life Oh! can the
dead
Thus In their letters liver / tied the band,
And kissed her name as though kissed her
face. -Llord Rosslyn.

THE dramatic season in Montana is
opening with wild Western exuber-
ance. In Butte, Montana, the palaces
of amusement are being literally
patronized, and an opportunity is given
all to attend. Not only do they have
performances every night of the week
with pro rata matinees, but even go
further than st. Louis and Chicago,
giving both Sunday evening entertain
ments and Sunday matinees. The at
fractions for tomorrow afternoon are
varied at one place. The great Jennings
and O'Brien will appear in 'their Won
derful glove contest, and there will be a
"spicy after-piece" entitled the "School
for Scandal" AT another Thespian
temple one can have five hours of "elc-
giant pleasure, concluding with ga
highly sensational after-piece, The
Bridal Chamber" which we are in
formed is "full Of delicious fun. "
Still another theatre in the same lively
metropolis, where there are twenty
two elegant private boxes" offers

gently in New York. At the big Re
publican meeting in that city last night
he said in vindication of the bloody
shirt course pursued in Ohio, that the
south has had all the war it wants and
has not pluck enough to fight it over
again. If that assertion did not show
how exalted is Judge Foraker's states
manship he certainly came out grandly
when shortly afterwards he attacked
President ClevelNnd's administration
and made the principal point Of his
arraignment the awful fact that under
Democratic rule the picture of the God
dess of Liberty has given way to the
head Of Thomas Jefferson on the pos
tai cards. We fear that the sight from

quit work because the firm by which
they were employed refused to dis,
charge their white workmen, They
struck by order of the Chinese Union,
