Since the ladies were not allowed to
attend the club last night, a large num
ber took advantage of this morning be
ing ladies' day, and eDjoyed a few hours
bowling and other pastimes, which no
place but the club rooms afford. They
did not succeed, however, in . breaking
the record or making any phenomenal
business men were called on the Btage,
and after proving beyond reasonable
doubt that the man who was in Liebe'a
window yesterday was asleep, he woke
himl The sleeper complained of no dis
comfort, but said he felt fine. The pro
fessor then allowed himself to be blind
folded and had some of the gentlemen
borrow articles from members of the au
dience and conceal them. He would then
take hold of the man's band, go into
the audience with his eyes bandaged
and find the articles, returning them to
the owners. A number of other diffi
cult tricks of this nature were per
formed, after which he called a class to
gether and gave fanny and interesting
exhibitions of his mesmeric and hypnot
ic power
GREENHORN VAPORINGS.
Tells Bow Sunday Ia Spent; Also
About Numerous Other Things.
Editor Cheoniclk :
"Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy, or words to that effect was
written ' so many years ago that the
memory of Susan B. Anthony and others
of the oldest inhabitants run not to
the recollection thereof. It apples to
this neck of the woods on the western
boundary of Baker county, and called.
(heaven only knows why) the Greenhorn.
We do not keep it wholly, but only in
part. In the language of the Thanks
giving proclamations, we "abstain from
our usnal vocations" and do something
else. For instance, there are five of us
Greenhorns, 'or Greenhorners, in this
cabin. . One has shed his. clothes, or
jart of them, and is engaged in washing
them, foe -Greenhorners:. are not of. pro
lific wardrobe. Another is pounding
rock in a mortar,' vainly looking for
colors. A tird is shaving the Sybar
ite. A' fourth is down in the little mill
making shakes, and the other is pen
ning (with a pencil) these few lines to
let you know that he is well, and to ven
ture the modest, but heartfelt hope, that
"you are enjoying the' same blessing."
So goes the Sabbath up this way.
No clue as yet has been discovered to
the persons who burglarized MaetB &
Pandt'e saloon Monday night, and un
der the circumstances it is impossible
for the officers to do anything. . There
seems to be a set of smooth thieves in
the city at present who are committing
robberies right along, and it is to be de-1
plored that the officers cannot lay their
hands on them.
A full house awaited the opening of
Prof. McEwen's entertainment' last
night. A number of professional and
Last nigbt about six inches of f now
on top of . other six inches already
covering thajjround. It came down as
silent and still as a Quaker meeting; no
bluster, no blow, no noise, and this
morning the gray fog hangs over the
hills and thrusts its ghostly lances
through the fir tree tops as though it
would destroy them. , The 'tall tama
racks, with their twiglets of limbs mak
ing a delicate tracery againet the gray
skies, lift their mmaret-like and grace
ful boles up, apparently to the .very
heavens. Tbere is something almost
oppressive in the silence of a forest when
the deep snow lies through and under
and upon it. It is the silence of the
tomb, the stillness of a Democratic de
feat, the holy, quiet calm of a Populist
Waterloo. The little twittering birds
that hang around all winter to twit a
fellow on being a greenhorn, are as
noisy as a twenty-stamp mill when they
give vent to their feelings, and when
they quit, the silence is doubly deepened.
Occasionally breaking through the si
lence comes from far up the canyon the
faint sound of the busy stamps in the
Don Juan quartz mill, a ten-btamper
that grinds merrily nigbt and day, week
in and out, serving man and mammon,
if nothing else.
Speaking of the Don Juan mine, or
mill, reminds me that someone has been
up this way with a taste for litera
ture and a knowledge of the classics. It
is shown in the names of the mining
locations, and their name is legion, be
sides other things. On the very summit
of old Greenhorn is a promising mine,
appropriately named the Diadem. Near
it is the Banzett, and scattered over the
hills are hundreds of others, varying as
to wealth, incongruous as to name. The
Union lies next the Imperial ; the White
and Red .Bulls are yoke fellows, wnile a
gang of Polygamists from Utah have a
group of claims named after the twelve
Mormon apostles and the heads of the
"stakes of Zion." They also have, so I
am told, a Mascottess in the shape of a
buxom girl, with a, flowing sorrel mane,
a white strip in her face and two white
hind feet. I do not vouch for the truth
of this, it being merely hearsav. I do
know, though that Psyche, she wbo,
with trembling hand, spilled the hot oil
from her lamp upon poor Cupid, and
was transformed into a butterfly ; she,
poor unsuspecting maid, is lying along'
side of the naughty Don Juan. But this
started- out for a sermon, and I fear
am losing sight of the text and treading
closely on worldly things. ' Far be it
from me. -
Until a day or two ago the weather
here has been beaatifuIV The skieB
were as blue as a "sweetheart's" eyes,
the air warm, balmy, soft, breathing of
spring and sweet with the odor of cedar
and pine.' Just such weather as in the
spring time turns the young man's fancy
into love. ; .
' Writing these lines this peaceful Sun
day I do not feel at ali above my old
Dalles friends, though at an altitude of
6000 feet." I know I am r mile nearer
heaven than they, but still I realize that
I am a long ways from the goal.' So
short a distance, on the journey, indeed,
that I would willingly be - back and
start even in the race. It is a nice
place here for one who loves solitude,
and to commune with Dame' Nature.
A beautiful; winter resort for an ancho

confess to a liking for the giddy whir) of

that, lift myself through space, I know
where I would be at this writing acd

it can't' be done, and so I . make this

but which she deponent sayetb not.
An anchorite indeed am I ; euch an one

pretty girl ' who, "like an anchorite,
gives over, this world for the heaven of
a lover." Dame '.Nature is too old to

cold.

. . In the election of a board of directors
for The Dalles Commercial and Athletic
Club last night, all the members of the
old board were re-elected, the votes be
ing as follows : W. L. Bradsbaw 50; G.

Hampshire 57; W. H. Wilson 52; E. C.

The members of the club showed ex
cellent judgment in re-electing this
board, as thev have done as much for
the- advancement of the club as could
possibly be done. They have been un
tiring in their efforts to make it what
it is, and no better proof of their success
could be desired than the - present flour
ishing condition of that .organization
We have no doubt that under their wise
management in future the ciub will con
tinue to advance as it has during the
past two vears.
