' Deep down in lowly caverns, Within my ardent soul, ltclow the feebler pa-duous That would its life control, There glows a ray of purity With strong resisting power, That Hashes in the darkness With truth and strength and power. My weak and baser passiom (live way before its name, Hut leaves me weak, uncertain My troubled breast allame; I feel a trance conic o'er me, My powers of thought are gone 'Tis Love that's lirnily bound me And tamed me like a fawn. This once impulsive nature That shunned the living truth. Hath been subdued and gentled Hy the winged, tickle youth. A girl so fair and lovely, With bright, delightful eyes, Drought down in meek submission That spirit from the skies. Her shallow fell about me, Her eyes were fixed on mine; I felt their radiant splendor I.ikesunrays on the brine, Pierce deep into my bosom. I.o! I was stunned and caught, With nothing but those lovely orbs Was mesmerized and caught! And that unfathomcd passion That holds the world in thrall, Mewls with the pasta mystery, And overshadows all. The subtle essence, garnered Within the heart's deep cell, Nor time nor change can e're efface Or check the potent spell. P. W. H. Indian Valley Items. Haying coinmonecd invurncut, Mon day.

Quito a dust storm swept over and through our town last Monday. The boys say Dr. Strange has 1111 in teresting way of beating time for the singers. Our social disarrangements are grad ually straightening out, by some com ing back and others going away. La Grande has opened her door. to gratuitously entertain all the teachers- in attendance at the institute this week. Last Sunday was observed as- chil dren's day at the liaptisl church, and a right good time was enjoyed by old and young. Our worthy Justice says $2JA) is not sulUeient lcmuneration for joining two hearts together in sttoh a way as to make them beat as one. The deputy Shcrifi' of Raker was here yesteiday after one Solomon, who was wanted back there to settle up a little bitter before leaving bis friends. A hose company has been organized with 1.") members as a starter, having Adam (Tossman for foreman. Now they are ready for the city to do some thing. Public speakers should remember that an argument has lost much of its force, if tho orator has to stop and tuck back his cull's just about the time he is ready to make it point. Clay Ellsworth performed a very in teresting marriage ceremony iu the west part of the city last Monday, but as for the names of tho parties, we couldn't "catch 011." If we hear a few more such temper ance lectures as that deliveied by Mr. Judy, the other evening, we will have to vote for the prohibition amendment, though we confess we do not know just what the amendment is. The evening congregations at the University are impioviug. The pteaeh er's text Sunday was about paying tribute to Ciesar, and ho seemed to think the world did not always demand just the right thing of men. Guess he was about right. The La Grande Glee Club was or ganized last Friday, with Dr. Strange musical director, and it promises lo be a good thing for those who desire to cultivate vocal music, but the, boys are rather backward about coming forward with the admission dollar. Well, La Grande has got water works at last; not the bent in the world, it is true, but good enough to greatly increase I he value of our piopcrty and make protection against fire possible. Quito a number of experiments have been made which were very satisfacto ry. and already a number of houses have pipes introduced, so that fresh, cool water from I ho mountains may bo hud iu every 100111.

II. II. Lyon, of Denver, took bis de parture for Raker City, Saturday. L. McLean, of the Home Acciden tal Association of San Francisco, Cal., is registered at the Alpine hotel. Mr. Jno. O'Lachlitn an;1, wife arrived from Portland on the 10th. Mr.O Lachlun is one of the owners of tho Hope mill urn! is a rustler from way back. S. Senor, of the "Way Up," started for Salt Lake City last week with two tons of their richest rock. We expect Sain to show up our ore to the Mor mons iu good shape, us one ton of this rock was pure specimens. The Hope mill will start up tho first of the week. All the pans and settlers are now iu place and tho principal de lay is on account of the serious sick ness of the superintendent, Mr. E. P. Torrey. We hope to chronicle in our next the complete recovery of Mr. Torrey, as he is one of the men whom we cannot afford to lose. Work on the O. G. M. Co's mill is moving along nicely. This mill re quires fr0,()0 feet of lumber. Ono of the boilers bus already arrived on tho ground. Tho two boilers are 120-horsc-powct each. The. pans and settlers have also arrived and teams are bring ing the balance of the inuehificry from Raker city as fast as it arrives. The Fourth of July celebration was in every way a perfect success, thero being about f00 people in attendance. The oration was brief and pointed. Tho tight-rope walking was ono of tho principal features of the entertainment and was done in lino style, Tho Jdrill iug match in the morning was perhaps the most exciting contest of this kind on record. Thero were but threo en tries, Hugh. Cumin and Pat. Long were the successful winners of the 1st" prize, consisting of if 100. Tho follow ing is the score: Curran and Long, 10.2.") inches; O'Mitra and llagarty, lS.7f) inches; Green and O'Neill, 10.00 inches. Tho contest would have been closer between the O'Miira and Cur ran but for the fact that tho former broke three drills and was detained in taking steel from tho hole. This is considered good work by miners ns the rock was the very hardest granite. A grand ball at Heme's hall wound up the evening's entertainment. James Payno, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Pearl and his neico. Miss Seatnons, arrived iu town Friday. Tho ladies were fairly "carried away" with the grandeur of tho scenery in and around Cornucopia, and in tho afternoon visited the Hope mill ami tho Union and Companion mines, ac companied by Mr. aim Mrs. Wurinncr. Down, down to the bottom of the shaft then to the north through the drift, each with a candle to admire the beau tifully tinted quartz. With quartz bag in hand these fair ladies nearly loaded themselves down, and after se curing all the specimens they could carry, Miss Rea, our photographer, secured a very line, picture of tho group on the dump of the mine. It is always a source of plcasuro to us to show tho wonder-seekers through our mines, and where they are so enthusiastic us was this party, tho task is doubly pleasant, for at overy step now beau ties and wonders present themselves.
