HELENA. Feb. 21.-Early this morning

finally controlled, but the block was

The losscs will reach Si5,OO, part Of

WAS doubtless the result of the slelie,era-

IL believed to have been started by one of
the large flfe crackers exploded during

the proposal to leave the abolition of

New Year Resolutions.

This is the time of the year when those who
feel the need of 1t make resolutions of reform.
It Is well to make good resolutions, and it is
not difficult to do SO; but it is much better to
deep them faithfully, which many find II is not
so easy to do. or too many 1t Is true. as the
poet Young says, that they resolve and re-
resolve and die the same" He says that man
sat thirty suspects himself a fool, knows 1T at
forty, and at fifty resolves and re-resolves and
dies the same" We hope that many have
made, or will make, good resolutions. and that
they will have the grace and firnlness of will
to keep them faithfully.
Ifresolutions are not to be kept unbroken
they had better not be made at all, for to make
resolutions and then to break them, has the
effect of weakening the power of the will, and
making the party lose confidence in his
strength of misunderstanding his last state
worse than his first"
Make good resolutions and have the integri-
ty of character and firmness of will to keep
them manfully and faithfully. and you will be
the better and feel the better for it-having
more sef-respect and more of The respect of 9TH
ers. A "slack-twisted character is worthless
The only character worth having, is one COM
posed OF strong and double twisted fibre that

EXCELLENT ASYLUM ADM NIsTRATIoN.-It
the management of the Western Lunatic Asy-
lum of Virginia, located at Staun ton, has not
been always what 1t should be, 1t is a matter
worthy ofremark that 1t is exceptionally good
now. The present superintendent. DR.. Benz.
Black ford is one OF the ablest and kindest that
any asylum ever had, and the Board of Direc-
tors and the assistant physicians and other
officers to be well fitted for their several
departments. The buildings are in fine con-
dition, the best of discipline prevails, and hu-
name treatment of the patients is the invari-
able rule.
Copies of the reports of the president of the
Board and the superintendent have been re-
ceived, and they contain in formation and sug-
gestious ofinterest to the public.
The report will be carefully read by the Gov
ernor, and it is hoped that every member Of
the Legislature will read it. SO as to be prepar-
ed to act promptly and wisely.-Rich State.
A SUCCESSFUL OFFICIAL.-Our whilom

so and that he would prove to be tbs right man
for the place.-Lynchburg Vir'ginian.

opera House Monday Night Next.

Robert Downing, the eminent young Ameri'
can tragedian, VIII appear at the Opera House
on next Monday evening in his new and sue
cessful romantic drama by Alexander Dumas
1.-THE Saracen." The beautiful play will be
magnificently mounted in regard to scenery,
costumes. eic., the dresses being the most
magnificent ever worn in any production in
this country, those worn by Eugene Blair, the
the handsome leading lady OF this organiZa-
ton, being marvels of skill of the first dress
makers of Paris and America. The scenery is
by Seavey of New York, and is both elegant
and appropriate. In reference to Mr.. Downing,
1t might be well TO say that he has never been
seen In this city in a legitimate role, but that
he stands on an equal footing and side by side,
as 1t were. with the greatest and strongest &C.
tors on the American stage. Never in the an
nails of theatricals has voting msn become
prominent in SO short time as has handsome
Robert Downing. Although but trife over
thirty years of age. he ranks with The great
tragedians of this country.
Eugene Blair, the most handsome woman
on the Am erican stage without doubt. and
certainly one Of the best actresses, is Mr. Down
ing's leading support, and is well known in
this city both socially and professionally.
Manager Olivier has been very lucky in
securing this strong attraction, and we hope to
see his enterprise rewarded by having the
Opera House packed to the doors on Monday
evening.
