LECTURE ON CHARLES LAMB.

On Tuesday evening Rev. T. v. Moore, of
Helena, delivered the above lecture before
the two literary societies of the College, the
Phi Kappa and the Gamma Theta. Mr..
Moore was evidently thoroughly familiar
with his subject. He had the attention of
the large audience from the very first, and
with increased interest held it to the close.
Special attention was given to the man,
Charles LAMB, as he appeared in public, in
the social circle, and at home. Before the
world Lamb Is known prominently as the
author of the Essays of Ella" He seems
to have written without any object in view,
and only because his heart was full. He
greatly revered antiquity, and though he
wrote In the Nineteenth century, his produc-
tons might be those of an author in the
Elizabethan age. He cannot be placed in
the first rank of literary men, and yet the
number of his admirers Is daily on the in
crease In the social circle he was truly
appreciated and loved. Coleridge, Southey,
Hazlitt, Leigh Hunt and many Others would
gather around him, and each found in his
personality something to admire. His friends
are enthusiastic In his praise. Leigh Hunt
says he had "head worthy of an aristo-
crat," "as kind heart as ever beat in human
bosom, call the worlds friend" and he was
"in his ewn peculiar place and circumsta noes
perfect man." Hazlitt says that Lamb
always made the best pun and the best re
mark of the evening"" But the real man
must be studied in his home life, and here
Lamb presents an example worthy of imita-
ton. His life is the most perfect embodi-
ment of the principle of selfsacrifce. The
fearful calamity which befell his family
brought out the noble characteristics Of the
man In view of the sad fate of his unfortu-
nate sister, il he failed forever to rescue her
from confinement in a public asylum, he
gave up the brightest prospects Of future
happiness. He forgot his own pleasure and
his own ease, and stepped under the burden
to tighten hers and to his credit be it said
for forty years he w as true to his VOW, never
murmured, never faltered-even tried to be
cheerful, though his spirit was clouded. He
was a true hero, that whilst suffering, he
smiled upon her for whom he suffered He
was cheerful, but only to save himself from
breaking down under the burden-"a smile
upon his lips and tear in his eye" gives US a
true picture of the man. The lecturer be-
came almost indignant when he spoke of
Carlyie's cruel and unfair criticisms of Lamb.
He said that every enc must love Lamb more
as he knows him better, the very reverse of
which is true in Carlyles case. While the
latter sacrificed every body's happiness to his
own selfish nature, the former always sacri-
feed everything he held most dear to these
around him. The lecture was able, eyinced
wide search and enthusiastic admiration for
the man, and it is quite certain that every
one present feels that he has now almost a
personal acquaintance with Charles Lamb.

THE ART EXHIBITION

Of the College Of Montana, Monday, Tues
day, and Wednesday Of this week, attracted
much attention and was largely attended.
The display was quite elaborate and an in-
provement on last terms work, showing both
talent on part of teacher and pupils and q
close application to their work. WIN. Fisher,
the young student who made such good be-
ginning early in the year, exhibited crayon
portrait Of Mr.. d. III. Mcfarland Of the Nc
Burney House, which was very good, and
beautifully finished.
Miss Hudson, the instructress, exhibited a
new oil sketch from nature of . dog and
pheasant, which added to the display and
was very much admired.
Miss Thula Hardsnbrook lad, perhaps,
more Of q variety than any ether one pupil
Her tire-screen Of three panels was the most
elaborate piece Of work exhibited. One panel
represented Moonlight on the Water" A
second panel was . very pretty Autumn
Landscape" with . waterfall Among the
other pieces Of her work were, MARINE

work from Lapdseer's "Waiting for Master
Miss Made Rinker also had a very pleas

Mrs. Mattoou exhibited quite a large piece
in oil, from Columbia River
Mrs. Judge Emerson has taken lessons but
short time, but was able to display beati-
full little flower design on porcelain and
water lilies on black PLAGUE.
Miss Emma Irvine had several pieces,
among which was apple Blossoms" on

FREDERICK WARDE.
A Dramatic Treat of the Best Quality

TO an audience distressingly few in num-
brTs, but If keenest and most demonstrative
appreciation, Frederick Warde on last M on
day evening presented Sheridan Knowles
great tragedy, Nirginius. We believe it was
the first time the old standard piece was pre-
scented in Deer Lodge, and we know it was
the best rendered tragedy ever seen on these
boards. Aside from the leading lady, Miss
NJ ittenS WIllett, the support is not strong,
but Mr.. Warde justified the best things that
have been said Of him, and gave indeed a
most mastery representation of the heroic
old centurion. II has been many years since
we had an opportunity TO see the great TRACE.
dians in this character, and time may have
clOuded our judgment, but we really think
Mr. Warde's acting in Virginius equal to
any Of the leading American actors we have
seen essay the character. 1t is very much to
be regretted that owing to the College exer-
cises SO few Of our people could be present.
They were deprived of an admirable dra-
matte treat, and the management of that pa
tronage TO which so fine an entertainment
was legtimately entitled We gave Janau-
schek splendid house, and Warde, whose
rendition was in English and much superior,
a poor one. II the latter should come again
he would be received by the best audience
ever assembled here

Great Minstrel Show Coming.

Barlow and Wilson's famous minstrel CON-
pany, the greatest troupe travelling, will give
one Of their superb performances in Deer
Lodge next Friday, June Goth and are sure to
be welcomed by large and enthusiastic au.
dience. The Cincinnati (O.l Daily CONNER
cial, in speaking Of the company, says:
THE Barlow g. Wilson's Minstrels gave
two performances at Heuck's new Opera
House yesterday. attracting large houses on
both occasions, the one of the evening pack.
ing the house to everfowing, This much
should be said, and it will bear emphasis,
tso: That better company than the Barlo,o-
Wilson was nerer gotten together. 1t has all
tho artistic finish Of the famous Hague
troupe, the humor and melody Of the Thatch-
er, Primrose & West, and the brilliancy and
Of the Havsrly. But beyond all these, it has
George Wilson. There is probably not 50
popular performer on the minstrel stage in
America to. day. Nature has gifted him Law
ishly, but in addition to wealth Of fun and
sympathetic voice, of good volume and great
flexibility. But this-a rare possession in
itself among negro comedians-is not alone
the cause Of his popularity. He is a natural
wit. His humor is infectious. To see him
is to laugh. He is funny before he opens his
mouth. There is none of that assumed air Of
vapidity, so disagreeable in Thatcher, nor
the straining after effect of Cushman in any
thing he does. There is friendly bid for
favor in his smile. He winks, and you are
taken at once into his Conscience. The joke
is, Of course, for the other fellow, and you
laugh because someone else is sold. He Is
like Yorick, mad wag, but there is much
method In his madness, though cleverly dis
guised, that meme ever tire of his fsoling.
Wilson is not the only comedian in this
company. however, Barlow himself and
Dougherty, to say nothing of Hall, or Billy
Griffin, or Eddie Marks, must claim some
praise at our hands. Hughey Dougherty,
especially, should not be passed by in silence.
OF the individual performers further than
this we have not time to speak, but say again
that, as a whole, the company is net only
one Of the best, AZ compromise critic put IT,,
but TIE best we ever remember seeing"

hdependent, June 16.

The Benton coach has not arrived since
Thursday last, and it is hard to say when II
will come. The road grades in the Prickly
Pear cafien are nearly all of them washed
cut, and the canon from one side to the other
contains solid body of water. Telegraphic
communication is also cut off on account OF
poles being washed cut. We understand that
the Dearborn bridge has also been washed
away, and that other portions Of the Benton
road are in horrible condition.
The roads On Silver and Virginia creek
have been washed out and are in an impassa-
BILE condition. The Ten Mile road, although
not impossible, is in fearful condition.
At the head Of Bozeman creek on Satur-
day last the dam at Mystic lake broke and
created sad havoc all the way down the
creek. Cabins, houses, barns and stock were
carried away. Many lives were endangered,
but none lost. At Bozeman the streets were
flooded and street crossings washed away.
We hear of high waters creating considera-
BILE damage all over the country.
