II. .Allen, an old Virginia City speculator, hud died suddenly of heart disease, and the boys laid him away to rest on n little knolf looking down on Eugle City. He had been'-wealthy in his day; worth his quarter or h;ilf million, and had snont a .-rmmfeer of Years in Europe. Ficklo fortune had deserted him, however, and he came to ths new mines to mako his last stake. He made it, but alas! it was only a poor plain little pine board, with neatly carved inscription and t bo Masonic square and compass. He was a 32 de 2rea member of the Scottish rite of Masons, and these of the f ratsrnity gathered around his snowy grave anil buried him with true Masonic honors. The snowfiakes were falling fast at the ime, and amid the silence and gloom, he voices of those who read the im- ressire ceremonies and joined in the uneral hymn sounded sirang-jly weird and , solemn. The snow pines on the overhanging mountain sides, the still white vallev, and tha fact that the first of the boys was belngLlailin the open grave at their feet, caused a feeling of awe to creep into the stoutest hearts in the little assemblaara. It was a soli tary grave in a lonely wilderness of mountains, and no one present could ielp asking, " Vill it be my turn next?" Coeur d'Alcne Miner. A Number af the political Solo.is of the Republican campfire in and about Roseburg h ive got the political beo in their bennets and they have got it bad. As two of these wiseacres happened to meet on a street corner the other day, one who we will call Joe addressed the other with: "S.y, Bill, what are you going to run for this timd" "Well," says he, "I don't care much; I would like to be clerk, but then we will have to give that t George this time, and for sheriff there are too manv ahead of me far that. Treasurer! I don't care much for it. Assessor. I "will get to do that work anyhow. - I would like to bo State scaator, but they 'won't trust me for Mitchell, and I can make more out of the clerkship. Well, I wouldn't mind running for justice of the peace; there is about S500 in it and it won't interfere with my being clerk of tho house, making out of the assessment roll and practising my profession. What do' you think of the plan, Joe?" TiiF. Ladies' Flokal Cabinet, New York has among the lilusumtM : article in its March numbers two that rendef it especially attractive..

Spiritual "Writing- When the question of -building a bridgo across the Umpqua river was under discus ion before the county court last Wednesday Hon. J. C. Fullerton appeared and filed what purports 'to be a remonstrance by citi zen tax-payers against building a bridge t has a great many names attached to it. Just when they were signed does not appear or at what d:ite a great many of them paii t txes, is not apparent. Prominent among the signers are the names of S. V. Carlis'e, who broke the Salem jail in 1881 r 1882, and htis not since been heard from, .i Wq. EUdingS, who is serv ing a life sentence for murder; P. Griawold, who left the county in the spring of 1881; A. Slocfim, who left the county in 18S0; J Wise, who left the county in 18S2; John Easton, who died in Koseburg, September 2, 1SS1; James Adams, who died in Myrtle Creek, in March 1SS2; James Bateman, who died in Coles valley ia 1832, and many oth ers who have long since " shuffled off this mortal coil," and the cold, p;da marble has Ions marked tbeir resting; place. The learned attorney who so ably represented his dead and absent clients before the county court, must surely be endowed with superhuman spiritualistic necromancy.' By what sort of planchette he procured the names of his de ceased clients to the remonstrance passeth conjecture. We would not for a single mo" meut charge the honorable attorney with robbing the tombstones for his signatures, and yet the name3 of his deceased clients are as perfect as though they were written m the flesh.

Dr. Little returned from an exten sive trip in the northern part of the county, on Saturday.

Harris has permanently ocated in Oakland and is now ready to prosecute his professional work with eneigy. - I Political matters are assuming a tvely aspect and already sevei al of our rominent citizens are spoken of as can. didates in the approaching campaign. Al Johnson and Miss Harris3 were J united in the holy bonds of wedlock on Tuesday. May their journey o'er life's ocean be attended with happiness and pleasure throughout. Som of our promising youths made a brutal attack on an aged and slightly j inebriated man last Saturday night, by throwing stones at him. The boys should have more respect for the aged and unfortunate than that from the silver mines latelv discovered in this Ideality. However, several par- ties have bven making diligent search for the hidden treasure, but have not made -any .' revaluations. We imaeine that the parties connected with this the wool-growers convention at Rose mining scheme have a big bonanza and burg T10ge pi.esentj however, were that silver will le flowing about pro- fined withUhat enthusiasm which is miscuously in large quantities. On ac- ,count of the late mining excitement the liquor trade has assumed a firm basis and whisky, frem ordinary U good, averages from 15 to 25 cents per t drink. dttlged in last week by seme of our cit- izens, in ami near tnis place, wpese names we will not make public at this time, but it is firenerally .known in tins vicinity that a person named Jones died and being almost destitute, a few of J our liberal citizens, with Christian spirit, took the responsibility upon themselves to give hiai a decent burial. The corpse was placed in tho coffin and all arinnrrftniontii werft oiiidft for burial. but the undertaker came forward and refused to surrender the bedy to the proper parties, who were conducting the burial. We. will state that the under taker should not be blmed for retain ing the body, for he wag perfectly will ing that the body should be entombed without attempting to collect the amount he had expended in furnishing arid preparing the coffin, but there, is something aside from this which is shrouded in mystery and needs iuves- Jiff;i.!nn fr cat.Jiifv .th unsfttt.lwl minds " , A,, . mi . .i of our people.

Prentice: "The fiat of death is inexorable. There is no appeal for relief from that 1.r whioh rlnnmt us to'diiat. Wa 6.
