MANUFACTURE OF BRICK.
Number Manufactured Ii Butte During
the Year Just Closed.

il During the season Of 1885, the number
Of brick made and sold reached very
much greater number than that of any
previous year. The scarcity Of brick in
the spring Of last year and the certainty
that large amount of building would be
done during the year, induced quite a
number to embark in the business, all of
whom did prosperous seasons work,
having no difficulty whatever in dispos-
ing Of their entire output. The spring
oflast year was quite rainy, which de-
layed operations some few weeks, and it
was about the LIST of June before manufiac-
turers were able to pl ce their produc-
tons on the market.
The price of old brick in the early
spring was about fifteen dollars per
thousand, but few having been left over.
The coming into market of new brick re-
duced their price to %, which was the

Go west, Young Woman.

1t is marvellous, says the New York
World, that so many young women will
consent to spend the best part of their lives
behind counter or in an Office in an over
crowded city like New York when all of
the far West is open 10 them, where they
can, with a little industry and energy,
make not only comfortable home for
themselves, but sometimes fortunes as well.
Travelling in any part of the West one
meets Eastern women who have gone there
and settled either on government lands,
which they have taken up and which they
have converted into cattle or sheep ranches,
or in the towns and villages where they are
making money fast with their knowledge of
music or art. A highly-educated woman
from Boston went to the Pacific coast few
years ago and planted a prune orchard, which
has proved as remunerative as an orange
grove in the South and has made its owner in
dependently rich. The daughter of New
York lawyer and graduate from the
Cooper Art school went to Montana some
time ago with no more money in her purse
than her railroad fare and a few weeks
board, and from the first supported herself
handsomely with her brush. Others have
been equally successful in other WAYS, and
there is scarcely csse known where an
energetic woman has not succeeded. Ad-
ded to the advantages Offered for money
making is the health-giving climate which
would put new life into the pale faces of
the city girls in week. Let them take
MI. Greeley's advice to young men and
leave their cheap boarding, houses and
earlv graves and go West to the land OF
promise and plenty.

London kissing Cannes.

Permit a North countryman. writes a
correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette. to
express respectfully his establishment at the
barbarous crudity of the kissing games as
practiced in these Southern parts. I was
IN Battersea park On Bank Holiday, and
found kissing to be all the vogue. But
what kissing! Instead of the rythmic
chant, the graceful dance, or even the
sportive chase of the Northern kissing
games, here was simple promis-
Guilty of OSCILLATION of the most
unabaShed description. There was no
ring to begin with, only an i'm
perfectly cleared space in the middle of a.
great crowd. In this crowd a Young
woman would approach young man--as
often as not perfect stranger-thrust a
chip into his hand and then bolt across the
green. The man chases her, runs her
down, and brings her back with his arm
round her waist, enters the cleared space,
and kisses her, sometimes half dozen
times, before the onlookers. Sometimes
the gill chases the man, sometimes the
man the girl. If they wanted their kisses
sans ceremonle they were caught at once,
and kissed without more ado. If they pre-
ferred to saunter, waist-encircled, as pre-
llminary, the chase was long one. But
the end was always the same. Shades of
''Sallie Walker and ''Single Drop Hand
kerchief," which enliven the village green
of the sterner North! After seeing the way
they kiss in the South begin to understand
the alleged prevalence of the kissing game
in the London Sunday school. The be-
nighted Southron seems to need evangelical
ton in nothing more than in the art and
mystery of OSCILLATION. The Sunday schools
which undertook this great and necessary
work seem to me to have been very un-
necessarily abused

is now Z years of age, and this is his second
season with the club. Last summer he
came into prominence when in the close
contest for the championship he was always
on hand cheering the home nine. He was
dubbed the Mascot because the boys
learned to believe that through him came
their good fortune His acquaintance with
the club began some time in the summer,
when he used to sit for hours watching the
game. Willie is son of n. E. Hahn,
prominently connected with the hat trade
in Chicago. Living on Throop street. neal
the ball grounds, Willie watched with pc
culiar interest the building of the walls
which surround the inclosure. His bright,
wistful face, as he stood watching the play
ers as they went in and out of the gate
when the grounds were opened for practice
attracted the attention of Williamson and
Kelly, who invited him in one morning out
of kindness to satisfy his curiosity. He
soon became general fayorite with the
club, and when dressed in regulation suit
his proudest ambition seem to be satisfied.
He has never missed game since he was
accepted as an indispensable adjunct to the
success of the club, and the boys will now
more than ever believe in his charmed pres
ence.

BALLADE OF SOCIETY BoREs.

There's the lyceum maiden who tries
To recte an old poem we know,
With a terrible roll of the eyes
And features contorted by woe;
Who shivers and sways to and fro
And goes from rant to q roar
Or sinks to monotone low;
I'd like to extinguish that borel
There's the blonde youth we long to chastise,
Who tremblingly handles bow,
And worries a fiddle of size
Till it howls like lost soul below.
If any one praise should bestow
He will sing for an hour-may be more
In voice that would brighten u crow;
I'd like to extinguish that BORE
There's the female so awfully wise
That to talk no one else stands show,
Who will criticise, lecture, advise,
Who writes for five papers or so
Out West in the land of poor 'Lo,''
That no one has heard of before.
Yet she'll sit all the evening and blow;

ANECDOTES OF BUTLER.
His Four Hundred Dollar Banquet
1.-THE IrishInan and the Monkey.

His Four Hundred Dollar Banquet
1.-THE IrishMan and the Monkey.
Washington letter to the Cleveland Leader.
I heard yesterday the first true version
of the monkey and hand organ story
which has been privately told in army
circles here now and then, bnt not always
correctly. 1t comes to me from high
treasury official who had something to do
with the settlement of Gen Buffers
army accounts. These accounts were
very large and some of the items seemed
out of all proportion to the expenses prob
ably incurred. After Butler had, however,
explained them it was seen that they were
perfectly right and proper. There were, so
many of these strange items that Butler
was called to the treasury to look over the
accounts with the officials. One New Or
leans item objected to was: Banquet,
postoffce to st. Charles hotel, S4OO."
Now" said the treasurer, sits all right
Gen. Butler, to give as many banquets as
you please, but l don't see how. in justice,
you could ask Uncle Sam to pay $500 for a
supper which you choose to give to the
postmaster at New Orleans at the ST.
Charles hotel there"
''Oh," said Gen. Butler with laugh,
''that item is easily explained. Banquet is
the New Orleans name for street, and that
$500 was spent for fixing the street be-
tween the postofice and the ST. Charles
hotel"
After the laughter over this item had
subsidized. the treasury official said: .sWell,
Gen. Butler, have no doubt these accounts
are all right and if you will explain salts
factorily one other item 1 will pass them.
Here is charge Of $50 for hand organ
and monkey. Now what possible use a
hand organ and monkey would be to the
United States government, or to you as its
general, cannot see."
Gen. Butler then told the following: ST
can also explain that hand organ and
monkey item. 1t was the hottest time of
my campaign about Baltimore. The rebels
were very close mouthed, and I could get
no inside news of the doings of the rebels.
One day / saw geeat crowd gathering
round man with a hand organ who had a
very large monkey. AS [ drew nearer l
noticed the man playing the organ looked
very much like smart Irishman whom [
had among my soldiers. 1 said nothing,
but went back to my headquarters, and call
ing up the IriShman. in whom had per-
feet confidence, I gave him some money
and told him to go and
buy out the musician. He did so. He
bought the hand-organ, the monky and the
musicians clothes, and paid $50 for them.
Dressed in these l sent him out On spy.
He travelled all the surrounding country
and gave me some very valuable informa-
ton. This information was worth thous-
ands of dollars to the United States govern
ment, and, concluded Gen. Butler, ''you
can thus see why it paid the. United States
to pay $50 for "a hand-organ and mon
key"
