' 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.

Tho school teachers are beginning
to arrive.
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

and already a number of houses
have pipes introduced, so that fresh,

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.
May you como again, ladies, and spend
