Amusem0nts.

The largest audience Of the week-and
certainly the most cultured one-witnessed
George c.. Min as Bertuccio, in 1.-THE Fools
Revenge" last night at the Grand Opera
House. The performance al for Minis
benefit, and it was satisfactory alike to
beneficiare and patrons. To Mr.. Minis
Bertuccio The MINER has already devoted
considerable space, and another exhaust.
i've criticism Of the performance would he
superiuous. Suffice it that Mr.. Min and
every member OF his company exerted
presentation OF the play, and succeeded
admirably.
Mr.. Min will appear as Hamlet at the
matinee this afternoon, and this evening he
will play Iago in "Othello. for the first time
in Butte. Tomorrow evening he will tell a
Butte audience what he knows about Gan
dies and Footliehts," as his famous lecture
on the pulpit and stage is APPLY titled.
THE M1NsrRELs.
OF the performance gwen by Barlow,
Wilson & Rankin's Minstrels, who open q
weeks engagement next Monday night at
the Grand Opera House, the Lynchburg
(Virginia) News says:
1.-THE Barlow, Wilson & Rankin combina-
ton OF minstrels made fun at the Opera
House last night for a large audience; and
with all due Difference to the many excel
lencies exhibited by other troupes that
have appeared here, itmust besaid thatlast
nights performance was ahead OF anything
that has ever been seen on the Lynchburg
stage in the minstrel line. The show
does not present . pregnable feature
for the lance of ever the most
phlegmatic and sensitive of critics. The
audience was literally bombarded with
fresh Jokes, while the songs excited a degree
of enthusiasm which amounted to an
ovation to the artists. Carl Rankin dis
,tinguished himself, as he never fails to do.
and George Wilson, inimitable in all OF his
business, captured the;house and brought 1T
down in thunderous applause, and every
other feature of the performance gave evil
dence of astonishing merit, combining to
make Messrs Barlow, Wilson 4 Rankin's
the master combination of the country"
Seats for Monday night can now be
secured at Grix's.

Answers to Correspondents.

r.. II. F., MARsHF1ELD.-This COR
respondent says he was a prisoner at
Andersonville, Georgia, eleven months,
and desires to know if he is entitled to
pay from the United States for 1890
taken from him by the enemy while in
captivity. Ansper-No.
SOLDIER, BERLIN.-If the bill in
creasing the widows pension from IS
to S12 month shall become law it
would not increase the pension of a
widow who was granted her pension by
a special act of congress. Congress
might increase the pension, in such a
case, by another special act.
G.. A. b., WORCESTER, Mass.-Pres-
ident Garfield's military life, illustrated
by honorable performance and rich in
promise, was, as he himself felt, pre-
maturely terminated and necessarily in
complete. Speculation as to what he
might have done in a field where the
great prizes are so few cannot be profit
able. 1t is sufficient to say that as a
soldier he did his duty bravely and in
diligently, won an enviable fame and
retired from the service without blot or
breath against him.
Clown OFFICER" Windsor county,
writes that he assisted soldier who
was supported by the town to procure
pension, under contract that he was
to receive one-half of the arrears, when
obtained, for his trouble; that the pen
sion was granted some time since and
he received his share of the arrears, ac-
cording to agreement, but the soldier
hoe ,aEa ,,y,t t1,a
rangement and has demanded the
I" town officer" to pay back his share
to him. The officer desires to know if
he is obliged to repay it to the soldier.
AnSWer-Yes, except the expenses that
you necessarily incurred in procuring
material testimony to prosecute the
claim and the lawful attorneys fee.
The attorney fee prior to July 4, 1884
could not exceed SO, and since that
date it could not exceed S25.
H. K, RANDOLPH.-This correspond
ent desires to know the meaning of a
letter he encloses from the commits
sioner of pensions to firm of Washing
ton attorneys, in which it is stated:
You cannot be recognized as attor-
neys in the pension claim of - with
out a power of attorney from the claim
ant and the written consent of 7. j.
Deavitt, Esq, who is the recognized at
torney." This means that you first
employed the Washington attorneys to
prosecute your claim for pension, who
probably neglected your interest, and
you then appointed Mr.. Deavitt, who is
now your attorney and with whom you
should confer in regard to prosecuting
your claim. OF course you will not be
required to pay the Washington attor-
neys, who, from neglect or other cause,
are not permitted to further prosecute
your claim.

" Band-BOX Johnnie"

An old soldier tells the following
story in the Chicago Inter- Ocean:
" Nine-tenths of the men in our regi-
ment conceived a dislike for our adiu-
tant simply because they regarded him
as flop. He was a handsome fellow
a little proud, perhaps, of his clear COM
pleXion, fine features and shapely
form, and given to extreme nicely in
coat and the blouse, and had made to
order roundabout or jacket, on which
was placed all the gold-lace ornamental
ton that good taste would allow. His
whole makeup, taking in cap, jacket
and trousers, was jaunty, if not fantas-
tic. The boys marked him down fop
and called him Band-boX Johnnie. In
due time he was transferred to brigade
headquarters as Acknowledgement, and
the men of the brigade came to share
the distrust of his own regiment, but at
Stone River there came to all these men
a revelation in character. At the crisis
of the battle in the Cedars, when the
center was about to be overwhelmed by
an attack on the flank and in front, the
regiment wavered. Everything was in
confusion; major-generals and briga-
diers lost their heads, batteries of artil-
lery, to escape the confederate charge,
drove pell-mell through and over Union
regiments; officers and men were losing
their grip, and what had been furious
fight seemed about to end in tumultu-
Gus panic. AT this juncture there came
into the terrible confusion man, horse
back and bareheaded, who, with sword
in one hand and revolver in the other,
guided his galloping horse with his feet,
went dashing hither and thither, plead
ing with the men to follow him to the
front. This was Band-box Johnnie,
and where a dozen officers had had
their horses shot under them he rode as
if he had a charmed life. The boys
turned in amazement to regard his
movements, and as he rode with a sort
of forlorn hope into the very faces of the
now hesitating confederate line, the
brigade plunged forward. They were
driven back, but they made a fight for
it, and all along the line of retreat the
man who had been regarded as fop
did as much sound fighting as any man
with a rifle. This prepared the boys
for what came later. Three days after
ward a counter charge was made, and
out of the very whirlpool of the clash
ing columns came the old adjutant with
the captured confederate flag AS he
rode like wild up and down the lines,
the men gave him cheer after cheer.
They had learned their lesson-a man
could dress well and still be soldier"
