Mrs. MLLER's LEcruRE.-The lee
ture of Mrs. Minnie Myrtle Miller, at
Piper's Opera House, last evening. al
though not so crowded as might have
been anticipated, was attended BY a
very a%ppreclative audience. Her sub
ject, ''Joaquin Miller, the Poet and
the Man," having been formerly her
husband, was one on which she could
enlarge and descant In the most iutor-
esting manner, and she did, relat-
ing numerous pleasing little stories
and incidents OF their courtship,
married life, his desertion Of her,
etc., and dwelling with interest
upon his manly and unmanly
peculiarities. Although evidently ad-
miring him as n true poet, she does
not describe or consider him a hero, by
n means. Her lecture Is we'll writ
ten and was listened 10 with absorbing
interest throughout, interrupted only
with frequent applause. She Is a tall,
slim. rather good looking, motherly
woman, and one naturally IN seeing
her wonders what made the cratic
JOAQUIN desert her and their babes.
She does not speak harshly or unkindly
of him, but woman-llke, evidently
cherishes a lingering love for her for
mer idol. ven while describing his
faults. Her lectures certainly add to
his notoriety. and induce the wish to
see him and read his poetic works.
AT AuBURS.-Thls morning we re-
celyed a letter from Hon. A. Z. Hay,

ering from his dilapidated state of
health. He says he stood his
buggy ride from here to Reno
| and on the cars Of the Central Pacific,
very we'll till he reached the summit
of the Sierra Ncvads, but BY that time
the continued jar Of the train began
to tell upon him considerably, and the
balance Of the trip was pretty hard OH
him. He found comfortable quarters,
however, on his arrival, and feels
better. He says: | am much
pleased with Auburn. Every house
seems to have its quota OF trees, some
| of them magnificent ones, and the
| climate il all that could be desired. l
feel much easier and encouraged this
morning yesterday and have no
doubt Of ultimate recovery. My re-
CARDS to everybody.
