One OF the effects OF the expulsion OF the
French Princes will be the cessation and
probable abandonment Of The History
OF the Civil War in America" by the
Comte dc Paris. He has written his pub.
fishers in this country notifying them to
this effect. This will be a matter OF regret
to a number OF people in America and Eu-
rope both. for the Comte, who spent some
time here during the wal and was a part,ci-
pant in it, is reputed to be a soldier OF un-
questioned ability and a man OF education
aid literary habits. His book would surely
have been a valuable contribution to the
history OF the war, as showing us how
Others saw US during that eventful struggle.

SENATOR RlDDLEBERGER made a good
point on his associates when he introduced
the bill reducing the salaries OF Senators
and Representatives. OF course he had no
idea OF its passage, but it gave him an op-
~portunity to speak his mind, which he pro.
ceeded to do. Mr.. Riddleberger is right in
the position he assumed. Economy is as
proper in the administration OF Govern,
ment affairs as it is in private business,
but when it takes the shape OF cutting
salaries OF clerksi it ceases to be econ
omy. There are no officers OF the Govern.
ment who receive more than they earn, pro.
vided always. they are competent for the
positions to which they have been ap.
pointed. Let the salaries remain as
are. is the motto of the Virginia SEN
ator, and in the sentiment he voices the
Of t%hepeople.

THE CoMIQUE.
Grand Opening Of dordon & Ritchie's
New Vaudeville Temnla.

The New Theater Com;que was opened
last night, and the opening was q granc
success: Before 8 o'clock every seat in thu
house was occupied, and until 3 O'Clock
this morning remained filled.
The performance was worthy of the
handsome house in which it was given. The
company is one Of artists, and their bust.
ness is comparatively original. Their
equal in point OF excellence has never been
seen in Butte, and the thunders OF an
plause that fairly shook the new theater
at frequent intervals last night vas entirely
deserved by those upon whom it was be-.
slowed. So clever are all the people that
it would be uni at to particularize.
Messrs. Gordon& Richie received numer-
congratulations on the fatterine incep.
ton OF their enterprise. They have an.
nounced their intention of keeping the
Comique up to it's present standard OF ex-
c~e'lence, and If that intention is carried
out their Efforts will be rewarded by sn
public.
The prices OF admission to the new
is IS and 80 cente, and the enter.
tainment is worth double the money.
