Women Who Have Created Pleasing Tunes
and Sterling Operas.
The reproach that women, while pro-
Tossing to be fond of music, have never
been numbered among the creators of
the art is now being happily falsified.

in the last few years women have scared

continually tidings of new triumphs
achieved by women. This new heroine
Of the hour is Mile. Augusta Holmes.
She is naturalized Frenchwoman, but
Of Irish extraction. Her father, Colonel
Dalkeith Holmes, when he retired from
service in the English army, went to
live at Versailles, and. the daughter is
how loyal citizen of the Republic of
France, where she has found home.
Ireland, however, still retains q strong
hold on her affections, and Mile. Holmes
delights in Irish melody and poetry.
Although she certainly does not belong
to the German school of composers, she
follows Wagnerian principles in one re-
spect, for she weds the music to her
own libretto, a system which imparts
the unity of effect for which her works
are remarkable.
Gounod has expressed highly favor
able opinion of her works, and predicts
a distinguished career for her. Mile.
Holmes music has already found a
place in the programmes of the Colonne
and LamoureuX concerts, and the per-
formance of the ''Ludus pro Patria" at
the Conservative last year was fiatter-
ing acknowledgment of her genius.
She has also written many charming
songs, of which the most popular, per-
haps. ere. lie Conte de NOEL and La
Serenade Printaniere," and to her ma
tive land the fine composition,
'Irlande," is dedicated. She is now
engaged upon an opera, and report says
that the red ribbon of the Legion of
Honor will shortly be conferred upon
her by the French Government, at
whose hands she certainly we'll de-
served this mark of recognition.-Ne

have on citizens clothes. The sheriffs
pressed them so hard that the pistol
and shoes of one were taken and he was

ode Hendricks" written by James
Whitcomb Riley, was impressively read
by Prof. Fisher, of Hanover College:
Pride of the Westland, and loved of the Ma

Fevered nor flushed by the throng's accla-

Steadfastly poised as a star in the Skies
Paths that were night to

Frightening still, till the transcendent

Nersed as thou vert in the lore of the ages
Voiced as a master in lofty debate,
Thine was an eloquence history's pages

Naught of thy virtues shall vanish away
Still in security
Rest, in thy purity
Fixed as thy monument tow'ring above

All time declaring it

Following this, the National Hymn
was rendered by tho male chorus and
the Battle Hymn of the Republic by
the school children.
Senator Turpie, the orator of the day,
upon being introduced, was received
with long-continued cheers.

Free dinners which the Vienna school
children have been so fortunate to have
provided for them during the winter,
were stopped at the end of last month.
much to the regret of the little ones
Our correspondent says that they will
begin again in November. Four hum
dred thousand portions were served in
thirty three days to 5000 children
Many of the school-children brought
their little brothers and sisters to share
the dinner with them, and the portions
of such children were always extra large.
A great number of children from the
streets also applied for food and were
never refused. The school masters and
mistresses testify that the children's
health in the winter has been very much
better since the introduction of the free
dinners. A good moral effect has also
been produced upon the children, who
feel themselves cared for and the objects
of attention. The Swiss Government
has asked for details of the manage
ment, as it is intended to establish
school-kitchens in Switzerland on the
model of those in Vienna.-London

The fact cannot be too frequently
urged upon the attention Of the people
of Helena that almost at the very gates
Of the city there is one of the most mag
nificent sources Of water power in the
world. Nature seems to have exerted
herself to fashion the Missouri 80 that
its vast benefits might be the more cas-
lily secured by man. The expense at
tendant upon controlling the waters
that are now rushing to waste and turn
ing them into channels of utility would
be mere trifle when compared to the
returns. Bringing power from the Mis-
souri, to Helena means bringing here the
industries, the factories, the thousand
and one branches of commercial life
which makes city great. There should
be no procrastination in inaugurating
the great work, and il home capital does
not undertake it foreign money will per-
ceive the fruitfulness of the field and
reap it's harvest.

riched the east and pauperized the west and
demands the freest trade, with all its at

BILE. The founder of tho Champion, the
late John A Martin, was the most ardent
advocate of high tariff in tine west, and the
complete revolution of the paper to-day
has created widespread comment.
The manner in which it denounces the
policy it has heretofore advocated and de-
Tended, and its terrific fight against the re-
election of John J. ingalls, to the United
States senate, leads old-time republicans to
the conclusion that its present managers,
Messrs. Challis Bros, hope to make the
paper the recognized organ Of the Farmers
Alliance in the state.
Who will survive, after the cyclone
has swept over the prairie states, it is
difficult to conjecture.

Two-Headed Snakes.

In September, 1857, two-headei snake
was captured about three miles from Beth
lehem, Ky. 1t was small, only about 10
inches in length; had but one vertebrm and
one pelvis; both heads. however, were per-
feet in every particular. Each head had two
eyes and mouth of about equal size and
appearance. Sometimesit would dart out one
tongue and sometimes the other, then again
both simultaneously. The heads each
turned from tho body at about the same de-
gree, the distance from the noses being
about Us inches at the points: The forked
heads prevented the snake from making
much progress in the high grass, the stalks
of which became entansled between the
necks.
In June, 1879, William Bosley, of Oak
land. Hartford county. Maryland. killed a
double-head, 4-foot black snake, wholly
dissimilar to the Kentucky oddity described
above, the heads of Bosley's snake being
four feet apart. one on each end of the

Illinois, $4,000; in Nebraska 10000. The
republican leaders will have to do some
vigorous missionary work to save their

five candidates for the legislature and
pledged every one to oppose the re-elec-

The Chicago Drovers' Journal takes
this view of the Montana cattle indus
try: "The number of double wintered
Texas cattle in Montana is very large.
Many large concerns did not ship all
they intended to last year on account OF
the low prices. This fact will doubtless
interfere with the calculations of those
who think the short calf brand Of 1867
on western ranges will make a short
crop from the west this year."

he failed to understand the case. 1t ls
said that MIR. Pinney, in speaking OF the

early enough to give opportunity for a

he did not pitch. He used to pitch great
