THE POOR THINGS.
Three tony young men OF Butte havinl
matrimonial prospects before them, but
wishing before taking the fatal step, to as,
certain what the effects Of housekeeping
will be upon them, have taken q house on
Upper Washington street. and have spent
the past week bargaining for carpets and
furniture. Although completely exhausted
by their great exertions they finally made
selections, and Tomorrow will find them
on their first shift to build the kitchen fire.
This must stand as q fair warning to ell
young ladies that the corner OF Quartz
and Washington is from now dangerous
ground.
IN A FLUTTER.
The principal subject Of interest and ex-
element the past week with the average
Butte belle has been anticipation of the
opening ball at Anaconda and the where
with shall she be clothed. From the prepara-
tions making it is sale to assert that she
and appear in all her glory.
Readers of THE MINER may feel assured
OF a rich treat, for won't the busy sBee" be
buzxing from flower to flower gathering
honey all the night, to be passed over in
such sweet dishes to the hungry multitude
that may be SO unfortunate as not to be
there to witness the array of beauty. But
enough, the matter is in able hands, pow
erty Of the English language the only limit.
