THE ENGLISH TONGUE.
From London Light.

The following was surely written by
an Ehglishman. 1t is an ingenious
description of the chieflanguage of the
world:
The Greeks harp We love to hear
The Latin is a trumpet clear;
Spanish like an organ swells:
Italian rings its silver bells;
France with many frolic mich;
Tunes her sprightly DIN,
Lord the German rolls his drum
When Russla's clashing cymbals
CONT;
But Britain's sons may well rejoice
For English is the human voice.

San Francisco, Cal, June 80.
"A special to the Examiner
from Redding, CAL, says: Great
excitement was caused by the
receipt Of q letter containing
news of the threatened rising

author is w. Bailey, a farmer

north banks of Pitt river. Judge
Sweeney referred the letter to
Sheriff Houston, who is organ

to the threatened region. This

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipatedcondi-
ton OF the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one REMEDY which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
ell reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if In need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-inforped everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

boys tomorrow that was ever dreamed

There is lots of money which says tie
Monarch boys will not be in it.
There is danger however that the local
team is Boosting too much Of its prowess
and that the Monarch people will treat
them to "a bitter disappointment. For

EXIT HOBO.
A Roundup Of the Vagrant Glass by
Special Deputies.

The hobo brigade was augmented this
week by the arrival of a dozen II more
old stiffs from other climates. Some of
them appeared to have come from the
torrid zone. if one were to judge by the
scanty supply of clothes they brought
with them. On Monday this band Of
vaos started out to work the town which
is probably the only work they have
been guilty of for many n moon. They
held up all our store people for
grub in different forms, and later on
assembled below town to cook it. Near
the Monarch mine they started the fires,
and with old apple cans to serve as pots,
began the manufacture of ii Mulligan
stew. 1t was a genuine soup foundry,
and offered a sight to amusc the
occasional passerby.
Monday night the city fathers thought
best to clap on a bigger force, and so
Barney Kempfer and Ernest Close were
given special police privileges and
ordered to patrol the town that night,
and to pull every vag they could appre-
bend. The patrol was complete and

An Old Timer.

One Of the oldest pioneers of the west
is NJ. ]. Meehan who runs IL Main street
shoe shop. He was born in Limerick, Ire
land, in 1886, and when very young was
apprcnticed to the shoe makers trade.
In AS he came to New Orleans whence
he driftcd to St. Louis in the
same year. He remembers quite well
the campaign of Zachary TAYLOR against
Lewis Cass. At st. Louis he finished
the shoe makers trade, and in Sept. 1854
travelled across the plains to California.
Here he mined three years with varied
success, but was cheated out Of all his
earnings by swindling partners. The
mines paid handsomely, but young Nee
han neve saw the color OF a dividend.
He went back to his trade in Califor-
MIA, until in '69 when he joined the
White Pine excitement and went to
Nevada. In 70 he went to Phoebe another
mining camp of that state, and worked
at his trade. He has been all through
Utah, Idaho, Montana, both Dakotas,
and has several times visited the east.
He has seen the ups and downs of life
as thoroughly as any other man, and has
oscillated several times between opulence
and penury. He knew John w. Mackey
the afterwards m%illionair at Downeyville.

hiding all the fire-nozzles, except two,
which were damaged beyond the posi-
bility of usefulness. A busy search of an
hour or two restored the good nozzles
and some special watch men were depu-

He Is No Stranger Here

f. G. Russell writes the Helena Herald
concerning the Mckinley and Hobart
club Of that place. This club has a
membership of 93, and Mr.. Russell finds
that 33 of this number are no. found in
the Helena directory. Among the 33
thus listed we find the name Of our fri
end, M. Mulvahill. Mr.. Russell goes 50
far rs to insinuate that these 33 names
are creations of Col. Sanders r.sourceful
imagination, and infers that if they
represent real citizens, they certainly
are not so influential as to add much
strength to the club. We are surprised
that anyone does not know NJ. Mulvahill.
Why, every man in Neihart knows him.
He has figured quite prominently in all
u political campaigns, and his services
to the Mckinley club of Helena will be
notable according to the heft of the
chunk of Doodle he is given te dispense.
Mr.. Mulvahill is well known in Mcaghcr
county, and Mr.. Russell shows Il lameness
of appreciation in the good qualities of
men, or he would cultivate the acquaint-
lance of this adherent of sound currency.
Ike Eisenberg another prominent Hell
ena man, member Of the big Mckinley
club, is in Neiharttoday. 1t is rumored
that he intends organizing the local re.
publicans as soon rs he finds enough to

At the Gait Mine.

The Gait is driving ahead on the
main tunnel and taking out large guam
titles of ore with every shift. The ore
Is As fine as any yet uncovered in this
camp, and the depth they have attained
gives them about 500 feet of good stop
ing ground above them. They are
shipping ore from the main drift, but
have not begun stopping.
Manager McAsscy extended courtesies
TO the HERALD this week by supplying
this office with two specimens of ore, rs
fine MS any we have ever seen. One
is pure native silver weighing about an
ounce. The body of the specimen is
solid, but the surface breaks all over
into folds and loops of beautiful wires.
1t is handsome indeed. The other is a
chunk of sulphide ore. broken from a
block which weighed nearly 300 pounds.
1t is covered with native silver and
streakcd throughout its composition
with the pure metal. The specimen
weighs about four pounds and is worth
probably a dollar in silver. The Gait
people have great reason To feel proud
of their possessions. The chute of first
class ore is about two feet wide. with
about the same amount of second class
at one side of the rich ore. They are
employing twelve men at present. but
within n short time will begin to in.
crease the force.
