Special Correspondence of the Standard.

Speciai CORRESPONDENCE OF the Standard.
Butte, May 11.-"when l first came
along this way" said Burnct Quinn Of
this city, yesterday, ''there was just one
building In the presentcity limits of Butte.
That was in 1854. The building was a
shack Of. ! think. two rooms, and stood
exactly OH the present site of D'Acheul's
drug store on Main street. II was run by
a German named Chris Weebold. All the
contents OF the store three men could pack
on their backs. The goods consisted of
groceries and provisions, sold to a few
miners who were prospecting i'm this
neiRhborhood. There was a little town nj
Silver bow, will n store, and along
Silver Bow creek were quite a number OF
placer cabins.
MY trip to this place i'm that year, rom
tinued Mr.. Quinn, ''was an incidental
one. | had Just moved out from Omaha.
We came to Virginia City in n train of Il
wagons. At every station where we
camped at night We could see ten or iif-
dams and buried there. We started with
10 men and enough women and children
to swell the party to nearly 100. Our teams
were OK teams. We had only one fight
with the Indians. That was at Fort
Laramie where they stole our saddle
horses, but we got them back.
"On arriving at Virginia City," said Mr..
Quinn, 81 went TO mining i'm Alder gulch
and lost all I had. Then / went to ranch
ing and used to drive beef cattle through
this valley to Deer Lodge from Madison
county. That is how / happened to be
passing along here and saw that one
building, where D'Acheui's drug store
now stands, away back i'm "a.
"By b way" continued tho old-timer,
crossing his legs the other way, ian old
mare Of mine has been the basis of my
fortune. l rode her all the way out from
Omaha, and when ! lost my money in
Alder Gulch, l still chung to the
old mare. 1 lived y years i'm
Madison county, selling cattle.
money with the mare to purchase i'm Hell
ena two six mule teams. / drove the
mules to Utah and traded them for cattle,
which ! brought back TO Madison county.
When ! sold out my ranch -four years ago
! obtained for my horses, which were the
descendants of hat one old mare, 5000.
Since selling out | have lived i'm Butte.
"Colonel Sanders, by the way, was an
old neighbor of mine down i'm Alder gulch.
l dom suppose the colonel remembers
anything about il now. but he owes me
n little bill. i furnished him with wood
during the winter of 1855 and sawed il mp
for him. Soon afterwards the colonel re-
moved to Helena. The poor man is for.
getful of course He is a United States
senator nov and | shall always prize that
Indebtedness as treasure laid up in
Heaven"
Mr.. Quinn wiped his eyes and began
reading the latest dispatches from Wash
ington.

A blind Man who Edits . Paper. Sets Type
and Does Carpenter Work.
By the Standards special Wire.
BUTTE, May 11.-Frank p. Beslin, editor
OF the Great Salt Lake, arrived In the city
from Salt Lake yesterday. Mr.. Beslin,
although totally blind, edits and manages
the paper mentioned, which is an illus
trated weekly and fast growing In popu-
larity. Up to 1881 Mr.. Beslin was engaged
in mining and prospecting throughout
Colorado. On March q Of that year he
lost his eyesight by the premature explo-
sion OF a blast In n mine in Summit
county i'm which he was employed.
Instead of becoming a burden to others
he looked about for some way
in which Ia make his own live
lihood, and being endowed with great
patience, ingenuity and perseverance, he
succeeded where others similarly affected
would have failed. BY means OF a ma
chine Of which he is the inventor he
writes all Of his editorials and much OF the
matter appearing in his paper. He also
sets type, runs presses n docs carpenter
work, and does il all well. Mr.. Beslin
truthfully claims that his is the only mag
azine i'm the world managed. edited and
published by q blind man. He will stay
in the city a number Of days, and will de-
liver "A lecture during his stay In which he
will illustrate his methods OF writing, etc.

By the Standards Special Vine.
BUTTE, May l0.-The opera season came
tn n grand close to-day with two magnifi-
cent performances. "Fatinitza" was re-
scntcd in the afternoon TO a distressingly
small audience, while the Bohemian
Girl" always charming, was rendered to-
night to a well filed house. Both plays
are we'll known, but the presentation by
the Bostonians seemed to lend them n
charm they never possessed before. They
lacked the novelty of the new opera ''Su-
settle" given the proceeding evening, but
the operas were grandly rendered, the
orchcstration, singing and stage effects
leaving nothing TO he desired. One
OF the strongest points in pre-
s~entation by the Bostonians Is the
effective stage groupings. The small
ings for so large a company impossible,
Of course, but in no other respect did it
seem that the presentation OF the operas
could have been improved. Eugene
Cowies, Carlotta Maconda, Jessie Bartlett
Davis. Edwin w. Hotf, II. G.. Barnabee
and George b. rockingham took the
principal parts this afternoon, while this
evening the leading parts were taken by
Edwin w. Hoif, w. II. Mcdonald, Eugene
Cowles, Fred Dixon, Juliette Gender and
Flora ~Finlayson.
Unfortunately the guarantors will nave
to go dow in their pockets to pay for the
splendid season of opera afforded the
city. The receipts are 500, or a trifie
more, behind the guarantee, and the 10
gu%arantors will probably be taxed about
$40 each.

The atheistical Ingersoll has at last
come to confess that he knows no more
than any one else, which confession
has been made in his own eloquent
style as follows:
'In the presence of countless mys-
teries; standing beneath the bound
less heavens sown thick with constel-
lations, knowing that each grain of
sand, each leaf, each blade of grass,
asks of every mind the answerless
question; knowing that the simplest
thing defies solution; feeling that we
deal with the superficial and the rela-
tive, and that we are forever eluded
by the real and absolnte-let US ad-
init the limitations of our minds, and
let US have the courage and the can
dor to say /: we do not know"
1t would have been we'll for Col.
Ingersoll to have come to this couclu-
sion before he had sowu the seeds of
infidelity so broadcast.
He has attempted to overthrow the
only ara .'rarest hope which revealed
religion has granted to mankind and
the only solace given to life on earth
without pretending to furnish sub
stitute.

IT'S A MIGHTY C0LDDAY
In January when Pe-ru-na fails to
keep you warm. When the bluster
ing blasts of Winter envelop your
body in their icy embrace, and seen to
freeze your very marrow; when you
shiver and shake with the cold chills
that creep over you and pierce you to
the very bone; then it is that you will
lind, if you try it, that there is moth
ing so comfortably warming and so
mildly invigorating as this same Pc
runa. Sending genial glow through
your chilled system, it will Start your
blood Accusing through your veins,
put new life aud vigor into you, and
make you feel altogether like a new
man. The effect of Pe-ru-na in this
respect is wonderful, and is manifest
ed by no other medicine. AS a sto-
mach medicine and tonic it has no
