terday the tide began 10 recede.
This must not be construed to mean
that business was slack among the re-
tail merchants, or that reasonable
quantity Of goods was not sold.
On the contrary, business was lively
throughout the day, and far into the
night; but that mad rush by shoppers
which made Saturday memorable day
was abSent,as was also the extraordinary
activity OF Monday and Tuesday. But,
although there was falling off, as has
been noted, the streets were very well
filed with shoppers especially between
one p. m. and ten o'clock last night,
and tens of thousands Of dollars were
expended for gifts, and thousands Of
bundles were logged home through the
streets by tired looking yet happy ladies,
meek and crushed men. and jubilant
children.
Last night the city had put on very
noticeable air of Christmas. Many la
dies and gentlemen, through with their
own holiday buying, were out on the
streets watching their less fortunate
fellow citizens, and looking at the
splendid displays in the windows; many
places Of business were decked out with
evergreen: egg-nog and other seductive
beverages were Glowing, gently flow
ing" in the saloons; hacks, coupes
and private turn-OutS were daShlng
about through the streets; gay parties
Of Young people were Fastening along,
bound for some ore OF the numerous
christmas eve" dances; Christmas
trees were being logged home; here and
there one met a drunken man; the oc-
caSional bang of iire-cracker woke the
echoes, and in two different quarters OF
the town, that classic and old-time
amusement. chickeR-fighting, was in
joyful progress, while, as the night
wore on. rather hilarious parties of
Young men engaged themselves in the
pleasing paStime of painting the town

Turkish Baths,

A new feature in baths has been added
by Mr.. Savage, at h Plunge Bath house.
Ii is a Turkish bath cabinet, and il the
best known means for the preservation of
and Improvement OF health, and for the
prevention or cure of diseases, and il
effects these results by the production and
m~aintainance Of healthy skin, which can
only be done by opening and cleansing the
millions of pores In its surface. Follow
ing its direct influence upon the skin, the
bath exerts a secondary aud most salutary
effect upon almost all the organs OF the
body, and thus becomes perhaps the most
powerful agent for the prevention and
cure of disease. Those who cultivate its
babitual use are by IL rendered very little
liable TO h attacks Of epidemic and in
fections disorders, while they generally
enjoy almost perfect immunity from
coughs ant colds. Where disease has
established itself il is seldom that the
bath fails to afford relief in cases of govt,
rbeumatism, lumbago, sciatica, ague,
liver complaints. IN in all affections of
the skin, or arising from impure blood,
its value has been repeatedly proved !;
moreover. the testimony of distinguished
medical men, and the experience of
many have shown that il is the best means
OF preserving and improving the complex
ion. OF preventing and removing any ten
dency To e~mbonpoint, and of retaining
and enhancing the charms of youth.

Manager Mcguire says Remington was
n good man, but lately he was Informed
in Helena that he was going pretty fast.
