CHRISTMAS AT THE MINES.
Chapter on Memory and One Con
cerning a Oraeuhorn Wood-Hat.
Greenhorn, Or., Jan, 2, 1S0S.
Editor Cithoxicle:
Christmas arrived here on time, and
AkB passed back into the sand bank of
things that were. It was not the Chrtat-
xnai that Dalles people kept, but an en
tirely distinct and different affair. There
was no candy, no popcorn, no presents,
- Jio turkey, no cranberries, no smiling
irieiuls no nothing. It snowed six or
eight inches; but we really didn't need
it, having some tbree feet of it at the
time. Yet it was really a "happy
Christmas" far me. Happiness is a
-queer quality. It exists only in the
ipaat and future tenses. With what we
liave had we can rejoice; with what we
expect we can grow glad ; but with
what we have, what sane mati.or woman
either, ever was, or ever will be, happy,
chewing the "cud" of things paBt, and
iccnting the green grass of things to
come, which will make ruminating ma
terial for some future date.
Christmas the trees were laden with
snow, the branches drooping tiredlv,
like eyelids heavy with sleep; but since
the gay and amorous Chinook kieeed
away the snow and tho bare limbs are
Haunted unblnshlngly baforo us Green
loins. Greenhorn creek, from its little
bed.grumbles complainingly of the cold.
It had no Christmas cheer upon its bars,
no flavor of nntmeg and cinnamon in its
drink; albeit Its waters are the color of
Tom and Jerry. A fow fluttering mag
pies, with absurdly long tails; a few
pine-squirrels, with abnormally bushy
ones, and an occasional cotton-tail rab
bit, with no tail at all, constitute the
nun of the living things the forest
bows, and all these have taken their
moods from nature and are as silent and
Tolcelees as the dammed creek.
Christmas and Now Years and hope
and new-born resolutions, theee aro for
all. Yet up this way we have the ad
vantage of civilized folk, in that we do
aot bavo to swear off. Instead, we can
gaze into the glowing coals of an even
ing, and through the woof oi Memory
no tho warp of Hope. Gaudy patterns
and bright colors come easy to the fire
gasser. Alas I that they, like tho embers,
bould fade so quickly to dull and
shapeless and sooty black. What a
bleeaed goddess is Memory ! With what
gentle touch she covers the ills we bavo
borne, even as the green grass heals the
torn hillsides and carpets tho harsh
earth that covers the form of some
loved one "goao before." Oh ! gentle
and bleeaed Memory. Mott merciful
gift vouchsafed to man by the Divine
Power, and fortunately fired out of tho
Garden of Eden with him. Wo suflVr
but nnco; past wo cannot feel again tho
anguish, liruised .mil battered by con
tact with the world. Memory holds up
her mirror that shows only tho healthy
spots between tho bruises.
Have we loved? Memory recalls for
us the blissful dream. Have v been
amused? Again she shows the playful
picture. Sorrow and suffering and pain,
thcst, and nil their kindred brood, she
removes with loving hands, and puts to
I our lips tho cup tilted with tho waters of
il.athe. She cannot weep like Uachel,
but she laughs like S.trah ovor her tlrst
j born. True, she lias bur faults, for she
I permits us to remember tho debts wo
ow, and fails not to aid tho fellow wi
ovi them to in the same direction ; but
these are simply her foibles. True, she
fails to warn us about that spool of
thread our better halves told u? to get,
and so creates strife and discord betw een
those whom a justice of the peace and
God had joined together; but. then we
must remember that she has been out of
Paradise for a long time, and has bctn
associated with man alone over sinc .
With the other brutes she cuts no ic.
By the way, did you ever see a wood
rat? We have one in our tunuel that is
a living curiosity.
A wood-rat is two pounds of industry
with hair on it; two pounds of vital en
ergy with four legs. Two pounds of
storage battery with gray whiskers and
a bushy tail. Judging by the whiskers,
the wood-rat, in the first place, was in
tended to grow up into a Populist; by
the tail, that he started out to be a
squirrel, but got "ratty"-fied at a Dem
ocratic couvention, and so failed to ma
terialize; while, from the utterly absurd
things that ho does, and the way hu in
terferes with things that do not concern
him, the inference is plain that he was
intended for a politician. He has tiio
energj of the colic, the persistency of a
com, the curiosity of a woman, the
activity of a scandal, the meddlesome
ness of a sewing society. Hut I will tell
you about him later, only adding that lie
is crazier than a Klondiker and "fool
isher" than A Grue.nhokn'.

Domestic service In America linn
passed through three distinct phases.
The first extends from the early col
onization to the tlmo ol the revolution;
the second from the revolution lo about
; ISM); the third from 1S50 to the present
I tinic.
During- the colonial period service of
every hind was 'performed by train
ported convicts, indentured whiu
servants or "redciuptionors," "free will
ers," negroes mid Indians. Tho ltrst
' three classes convicts, redoniptiunors
land free wilier.- were of Curopean, at
first generally Kngllsh, birth.
Protests were often maile against
thic method of settlement, both by the
colonists themselves' and by English
men, but it was long before the Kngllsh
government abandoned the practice of
tiansportiug criminals to the Ameri
can colonies.
Of the three classes of whites, or
Christian servants, as they were called
to distingush them from the Indians
and negroes, the freo willers were
evidently found only in -Maryland. They
were received under the condition that
they be allowed a certain number ot
days in which to dispose of themselves
to the greatest advantage.
It is impossible to state the pro
portion of servants belonging to the two
classes of transported convicts and re
demptioners, but the statement is ap
parently fair that the redemptioners
who sold themselves into service to iay
for the cost of their passage constituted'
by far the larger portion. These were
found in all the colonies, though mure
numerous in the southern and middle
colonies than in Now Jhiglaud, In
Virginia and Maryland they outnum
bered the negro slaves until the latter
part of the seventeenth century. In
Massachusetts apprenticed servants,
bound for a term of years, were sold
from ships in Uoston as late as 1730,
while the general trade in bound white
servants lasted until the time of the
revolution, and in Pennsylvania even
until this century.
The first redenitioners were natural
ly of English birth, but after a time they
were supplanted by those of other
nationalities, particularly by Ciermanu
and Irish. As early as 171S there was a
complaint of the Irish immigrants in
Massachusetts. ,
It hus been said that a great majority
of the redemptioners belonged at first
to a low class in the. social scale. A con
siderable number, however, both men
and women, belonged to the re
spectable, even to the .so-called upper
class of society. They were sent over
to prevent disadvantageous marriages,
to secure inheritances to other members
of a family or to further some criminal
scheme.
Many of these bond servants sold
themselves into servitude, others were
disposed of through emigration brok
ers and still others were kidnaped, be
ing enticed on shipboard by persona
called "spirits." The evil of "spiriting
awny," both children and adults, be
came so great that in 1C01 the commit
tee for foreign plantations interposed,
and the council created the office of
register, charged with the duty of keep
ing a record of all persons going to
America us servants, and the statement
that they had voluntarily left England,
l'his act was soon followed. by another
fixing the penalty of death, without
benefit of clergy, in every case where
persons were found guilty of lidnaj
ing children or adults. Hut even these
extreme measures did not put an end
to the evil; and it is stilted that 10,000
persons were annually kidimped after
the passage of the act.
The wages paid were, as a rule, small,
though some complaints arc found,
especially in Aew England, of high
wages and poor service. .More often the
wages were a mere pittance. Elizabeth
Evans came from Ireland to serve John
Wheelwright for three years. Her
wages were to be three pounds u year
and passage paid. Mnrgtry Hatman,
after live years of service in Charles
town, was to receive a she goat to help
her in starting life. Mary Polly, accord
ing to the terms of her indenture, was
to serve ten years unci then receive
"three barrels of corn and one suit of
penistone and one suit shirts of dowlas
and one black hood, two liifts of dowlas
and shoes and hose convenient."
