The Uuabte LUopemeut.
The Tillage of E 1 was ooe of the
inany mining towns ia the interior of
California, and in this Tillage "dwelt Dr.
Ilamnjoiid and hia family. Thoy weie
noted for their kind hospitality; and for
the interest they took in the general
nairs ot the villa
"Certainly, children; 1 ran off with
mother once and didu't know it.'
Charley and Artie looked fiora one to
the other, and asked : -"How ? when ?
where ?"
The doctor only laujjbed, and shook
his head as though the story was too
good to tell, and that was all they e?er
could get out of hiui.
A Washoe Horaauce.
1870.
So it VMr nffon rmnrnn ml that their VIRGINIA ClTY. Oct. 1
Only daughter, Artie, was the belle of Dear Chronicle: I have a very
tuany social parties. There it was she j jear friend in this city, whom I call
repeatedly met ayounp man by the name "Calamity." He came to California in
oi iuane3 uavey, ana ins jaucy iut -miou -y. since wnicn nine, until a year ago,
Artie's pretty face, blue eyes and dark
brown curls, kept him constantly by her
ido.
Bet w!lat I was poing to tell you was
this that the Doctor had made up hia
iaind to spend the summer up near Lake
Tahoe, so he could have a fine time hunt
. lDg and fishing during tho heated term,
and, a? a matter of course, he wanted to
take his family with hiui, for he could not
think of leavmg them down there in : the
terribly hot weather of summer. J
Now Artie did not like this idea at all,
so, after having a good cry about it, she
came into the parlor where Mrs. Ham
mond sat, an J said.
'Now mamma, this is too bad ; jut to
think of us going away off up iuto the
mouutains where we can't see anything
but Indians and sage brush. 1 t-h.ill
die, mamma, I know I shall, if you take
me away off up there."
'I ? No, my dear," said Mrs. Ham
mond, eutly, "and to tell the truth,
Artie, I shall be glad to get you off up
there where you can't do so much running
around. I am- about sielt Of this going
all the time."
"Well, I'm not," said Miss Artie, with
an independent toss of lir pretty head
as she went. off to the window. She hud
not stood there long when she saw eome
one comiug up the little lane which led to
the house. Then she turned to her mother
and said : -
"Oh, mamma, Charley Bavey is com
ing here."
"les, just as 1 expected, you cant
think of anything but Charley Bavey,
now," said Mrs. Hammond, as she left
the room. .
She sK)ti heard Artie and Ctarley
talking low together, so she began to
wonder what they were saying, and
finally she wcDt to the door to listen.
She heard Charley say :
"Yes, darling, I will come with the
buggy just at dark to-morrow, so we can
go and get married in a short time. Your
folks won't think of such a thing until
it's too late."
"Bu Cliavley, suppose papa won't
forgive us," said Artie.
"Oh, there's no danger' but what he
will; and you'll go won't you, Artie?
Only thiuk what a heavy, lonesome life
it will be without yu, darling."
As Artie looked up into a very loviug
pair of hazel eyes, she smilingly said,
"Yes. Caarley." "
"Now good uight darling, and by this
time to-morrow nisht you'll be my own
darling little wife." .
Saying this, Charley kissed her and;
was gone.
Now, as Mrs. Hutunioud had been
listening all the time, the heard every
thing CJijrley said. So she said to- her
self, ironically, "your dear little wife by
this time to-morrow night. Oh, yes,
we'll see about that."
But when Artie came out her mother
was sitting at the table, sewing. She
looked up and askel
"Well, Artie, has Charley gone so,
soon ?" " . j
"Yes, mamma," was all Artie said, as j
the left the room.
The next day passed off, and just at
dark a buggy drove up to the gate.
"Now," thought Mrs. Hammond. I'll
show them a trick that's worth two of
them.
So she put on Artie's cloak aud hat
and ran down to the gate. A geutle
man very gallantly helped her" into the
buggy, bu never spoke a word."
"Well," thought she, he's afraid to
speak for fear. Artie's father and mother
will hear hiui : Ahem !
So away they went, aud Mrs. Ham
mond sat there thinking what a nice
trick she had played on Artie by running
off witlTdiarley. Then she began to
wonder if this was the way he "treated
Artie when they went out ridiug ; and
next what would the doctor say ? But
what puzzled her the most was that they
were going in the opposite direetjou from
what she bad. expected. So at last she
eaid : . . " '
"Well, Charley, darling, hadn't "we
better go Lome."
Imagine her surprise to hear the doc
tor's voice answer :
"What! Maggie, is- that you? What
in the name of all that's good, and
indifferent are joa'dolng here V
"Oh, Ioetor, I thought it was Char
ley r .
"Well, I should very much like to
know where you were going with, Charley
nr. Ki finiA nf niwrifc-?'
"Indeed ! and I 'should like to know
whom you thought you had in here, if
cot me '(" answered Mrs. Hammond.
"Oh, I thought it was Artie." - j
' "Abd what in the world ever ut such
a notion into your head, as to take Aatie
out at this time of night?" '
"Well the fact is, Maggie, as I sat on
the poarch lost evening, I overheard
Charley and Artie talking about ruoning
oflHarni getting married, and so I just
thought I'd save Charley the trouble, and
tale'Artie- out for a ride. I began to
think she was keeping very still."
"That is just what I beard," said Mrs.
Hammond, "and my object io going
with Charley was the same as yours - in
taking Artie off."
"We are a couple of pretty fools to be
eloping in this way, but here we are at
homo again." . .
Saying this, the doctor helped bis wife
oat of the baggy, and went into the house,
Oue glance at the empiy rooms convinced
them Artie was gone, they could easily
guess where, bo they made ud their
winds to make the best ot it, and wait for
the runaways to come borne.
And the next mornios. when Mr. and
Sirs. Bavey came home to implore for
giveness fbr running off to get , married,
- tbey could not understand the mischier
ous twinkle in Dr. Hammond's eye as he
very readily lorgave them, and said:
he seem to have been the victim of every
particularly mean man in the country. By
force of necessity he has been a uiine'r, a
farmer, an editor, a waiter, an ox-driver,
a carpenter, a blacksmith, a politician, a
minister, a bar-tender, a butcher, a doo
tor, a woodschoppor, and even a Justice
of the 1'eaee, which is to say, a Judge.
It was at Silver Mountain, five or six
years ago, that I tire t met "Calamity."
He was arrested there on the charge of
STEALING A MILE,
! And, tlougb innocent, was compelled 'o
compromise by paying the owner S200
uuu working out trie retumuaer at 9-1 per
day. The 200 which he paid was. sup
posed to be the money he receive! for
the stolen mule; and as the animal was
valued at 600 aud Calamity could not
establish his innocence of ihe theft, he
was shoved iuto a tunnel, and there made
to labor for one hundred days for noth
ing and his hash, lie was -rood at strik-
1 ing with the sledge-, but his companions,
who were comparatively inferior work
j uieu , received ?4 per day, while poor
Calamity had to beg tobacco aud run his
lace tor liquid luneueous at the bar.
Wheu his time was up, Calamity pro
ceeded to the office of the owner of the
mule, who also owned the mine and
tunnel, and said he :
"Mr. Smith, are you satisfied I"
'Yes," said the capitalist, you may go
now ; but take my advice don't hanker
after any more mule flesh."
"Mr. Smith, I am an iunoccnt man, as
I have told you a thousand times before ;
but who is to
TAY MY WASH BILL?
Who is to pay for the three gray shirts I
wore out in the tunnel ? Who is to settle
for the chalk-marks on the blackboard of
my thirst ? That's what's the matter."
'Here is ten dollars."
But I owe fifty, and, as I am an hon
orable" man, it must be paid to the last
bit."
"Can't you run off with the debt as
you did with the mule ? If ten dollars
will do you any good, here it is. You
may take it or go to the devil, just as
you please."
"Cousideriug my lunoccnce, Mr.
Smith, I consider this as hard treatment.
I suppose I shall have to keep ou work
ing in the tunnel until I pay my debts."
Not by a d n sight,"' said Smith,
unless you work for two dollars and a
half a day. ' You miners have altogether
too jiood a thing in this country."
"Two and a half a day, Mr. Smith '
Excuse me."
"You are excused," said the capital
ist. Ci'lamity now packed up his blankets
and started for an adjoiuiiig district,
hoping in a few weeks to trausmit the
amount of hs indebtedness through the
Express Company. Alas! however, he
had not gone ihree miles before he was
overtaken by a Hebrew credtior, who
demanded the blankets as security for
the amount due ou three gray shirts aud
aud a pair of miscegenation socks. -
"Good God ! Mr. Isaacs" said Calam
ity, "are vou going to take a fellow's
bed ?" "
Yot else can I to ven you vant to
shcat me out of uiuc dollars and fifty
ceuts?"
"Can't you wait until I get work ? Do
you think I am a thief, say 1"
"You stole a male, so you did, and I.
vant tc plankets."
What could Calamity do but submit?
The creditor took the blankets, and my
fiiecd returned to Silver Mountain. Go
ing to the capitalist he said :
"Mr. Smith, you've got me this time.
I must have work, for I am in debt, and
have concluded to take two aud a half
per day."
It takes two to ina k 3 a bargain,
said the capitalist. "I have changed my
aitnd."
How so?" said Calamity; "don't
you want me .
""les, said buiith, taking advantage
of the misfortunes af my' friend ''but two
dollars per day is quite sufficient. I
shall pay no more."
Have you no resard for honest la- !
bor?" said Calamity. "Do you want to
place me on a level with Chinamen?" '
You are co better, said the capital
ist. " ere I not afraid the miners
WOULD CUT MY THROAT,
I'd hire Chinamen to-morrow."
"Well d n yonr ungenerous heart,"
said Calamity. "Yet, Mr. Smith, since
I am at your mercy, 1 suppose I must go
to work."
Just as you please, sir. But remem
ber you get but two dollars."
Calamity went to work under protest.
and it was a whole year befoie he sue
cceded in meeting his obligations. But
" THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION
lias arrived, as will be seen below. Yes
terday morning I received a tap on the
back which came near knocking my teeth
down in throat. The blow came from
Calamity.
"Good heavens," I gasped; "can you
not address me with your tongue instead
of your fist?" "
'Ha, ha, ba I you are so easily onenu-
cd, I mast say. Can t yoa take a joke ?
But let me explain. 1 zcci unusually
happy this morning, owing to a little dis
covery I chanced to make."
"A discovery t
"Yes: old Smith, tho capitalist, is
busted. He went through ou Crown
Point, and is now toiling as a common
miner in the stomach of the earth. I
am going to interview him this very day.
Will you come along ?"
"Gladly," said L 4 V
.Calamity now proceeded to Bill Jones'
cabin and borrowed his watch and chain ;
then went to Tom Harris and , borrowed
bis diamond pin then . borrowed three
ueavy quartz rings from Hank Inters,
and a diamond ring from Jim Baker;
then ha bought a bran-new suit of broad
cloth and a shoo fly hat; then he borrow
ed Dan DcQuill'g ponderous cane.
"Now' eaid Calamity, "I am ready.
I have secured a pass for two, and we
shall find Smith in the 700-foot level.
He won't know me in good clothes, and
I shall play with him a while."
Getting into the cage and giving the
signal to lower, down we went into the
depths, darkness surrrounding us. But
the "light of other days" was soon reach
ed, and a sorry light he was. Tall, slim,
dirty as a printing office towel, dressed in
A SUIT OF FLOUR BAGS,
Uis face powdered and his hair uncomb
ed, he looked like the picture of wretched
ness. "Come to see the mine, gentlemen?"
inquired Smith.
"Yes, and to buy," said Calamity. "We
want to show the woild that these mines
require no assessments wheu controlled
by hone.-t men. By the way, did I not
know you in my youth ?"
"Possibly you did," said Smith; "I
am from New Jersey."
"So am I," said Calamity, "and I
j know you well. But to h 11 with the
past Do you like to work in the mines.'"
"Iudeed, I do not. The heat" aud gas
and foul air arc almost insufferable, say
ing uothing about the danger from blasts,
caves, falliug rocks uud timbers, and so
forth. When I came here to work I
weighed one hundred and eighty pounds.
Look at me aov."
"I must say that your corporation is
seriously reduced. Have they paid you
good wages for this ungodly transforma
tion ?"
t Smith looked serious at the questiouer,
aud then auswercd :
''Since you are disposed to make light
of mc, because I am a poor man, you
will pleare excuse me from further con
versation. As regards the wages of
miners, however, I think they should be
Stl instead of S-l. God knows we earn
more than we get."
"Do you really think so, Smithy?"
The ex capitalist looked amazed, but
spoke not, for Calamity had uncovered
his bald pate, and was instantly recog
nized. "How was it iu Silver Mountain,
Smithy?"
JNo response.
'Come! Speak out, or I'll expose you
to every uiau io the miuc ! How was it
iu Silver Mountain
"Have you come to crow over me, Mr.
Calamity?"
"Ye, Smithy, Ihavc. If you were
rich to-day, you'd griud your fellow
workmen down to powder, as you did me ;
therefore, Smithy, I thauk God you're
poor, and hope yoa will remain so till
you die ! There is net a miner iu Vir
ginia whose clothes you are fit td wear.
let, Smithy, it you want money call ou ,
me. All I ask is five per cent, a month
and good security."
Thus was Calamity revcniicd. Smith
knew he had recently acquired a fortune,
and knowing, wept at least, I saw him
wipe his nose with his coat sleeve.

A case of homicide is reported by the
Baker City Democrat, which occurred in
El Dorado on the 17th. That paper says:
The particulars, as wc learn them, are
as follows : Sometime during the day,
Johu McCourt, Esq., residing at El Do
rado, and owning, or claiming to own,
some rich placer diggings in Ilattlesuake
Gulch, while passing along near an emp'y
building in El Dorado, was fired at by
some person secreted iu the cellar. One'
or more of the buckshot, (it was a shot
gun) struck McCourt in tho lower por
tion of the abdomen, close to the pelvic
region, from the effects of which be died
in about an hour afterwards. Suspicion
fastened ou Mr. Beatty Fawcett, of Ba
ker City, as the one who bad committed
the homicide ; and he was soon after
wards arrested by Deputy Sheriff Harper,
an'Q brought to this place ; and he is un
der arrest at this present writing.

to bo used iu niakiug any alteration. The supe
riority .r the Gay" Plow will be clcurly shown
by the following certificate :
We, the undersigned, "citizens of Linn county,
Oregon, having purchase! and used upon our
farms tbe "Guy" Plow, hereby certify that tho
same has giveu us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit tlte depth of furrow without
tuovi g from the seat, is dimple and easy. W
like tho plow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam In
stead of the carriage ; also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the wood-work being con
structed of wrought iron no ca tiugs aro used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is au ad
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking: off
land and io plowing, not having to make the nec
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level, not thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as iu other plows. Better work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "Gay"
Plow to our brother farmers, aa one having no
superior in Orejron.
