THE BALL. = We are not GOOD at
prophesying, and rarely make predic.
tons, for the reason that it is about as
difficult to peer into the future as it is
to gaze into the interior of a milestone.
but nevertheless, the other day we did
say that We felt certain that the Odd
Fellows ball would be splendid affair,
and sure enough We were right. Though
to tell the truth We ore not going to take
a great deal of credit to ourselves for the
vaticination, for the balls OF the order
are invariably models of elegance and
enjoyment. The ball last night was no
exception TO the rule. The room under
the superintendent of A. II. Emanuel
was very handsomely decorated with
flags, the regalia of the order, mirrors
and pictures. Among the latter We no.
tlced that of our respected townsman, j .
W. Wright, who is the Grand Master of
the order. All the decorations were
nicely arrayed, and reflect much credit
on the skill and taste of Mr.. Emanuel.
Like every other newspaper man, We
were only able to take nibble where
the rest of mankind can enjoy themselves
to the fullest extent, SO our visit last
evening was compelled to be quite late,
and a very short one. At the time We
entered the hall it was densely crowded
by handsomely dressed ladies' and gen.
tlemen. The toilets of some of the
former were very elegant indeed. We
are no Jenkins, and therefore shall at
tempt no description of the dresses.
we'll knowing by dear bought experience,
that you had much better let it alone al
together, than make mistake. We
once mistook tarlatan for muslin, and
the looks we got for month after
wards would have made the fortune of
cheese factory. But to return to the
ball. Every one looked as if they were
enjoying themselves to the utmost. The
music was excellent, and dance succeed
ed dance with commendable rapidity,
most of the dancers acquitting them
selves admirably, and the Phoebe men,
bers of the order may be congratulated
ry OF the introduction Of the order into
the United States, most pleasurable
one to their fellow citizens.
For CALIFoRNIA.-Last Saturday T. F.
Andrews, Foreman of the Raymond Il
Ely mine, and Mr.. Wescoatt, the well
known surveyor, left for visite to Cali
fornia. We regret to say Mr.. Andrews
was called over suddenly on account OF
illness in his family. He has many
friends in Phoebe which he has made by
the attentive manner in which he has
discharged his duties. He has happy
knack Of combining fidelity to his en-
ployers and consideration for all his en-
ployes. Mr.. Wescoatt goes over to at
tend an important mining suit of the
Blue Gravel Company of Timbucktoo,
California, of which company he has for
many years been the surveyor. Both of
these gentlemen We wish speedy and
safe return.
A CoNrRAsT.-John O'Malley, the man
who attempted to shoot Cavalier in San
Francisco, pleaded guilty to IN assault
and will appear for sentence next Friday,
while Cavalier, the man who robbed
Europe. Is it not nice way Of doing
things. A man betrays your confidence
and robs you, and when you attempt to
make him disgorge, the law nails you
puts you in Jail and lets the rogue go
scot free to laugh at his victims in secur-
ity and ease. Queer world this, or rather
the folks in it.
YESTERDAY we had the pleasure of
meeting Mr.. D'Artois, genial gentle
man who represents the we'll known
house Of Shea, Bocquerez 4 Mckee,
liquor merchants of San Francisco. Mr..
D'Artois is here on the business of his
house, and those who deal in goods in
his line might, like Captain Cutie, do
well to make note ont"
AssAULT.-On Saturday last there was
little scrimmage up at the Havana
mine, though no great harm was done.
kslly, one of the participants in the
muscular discussion, had a warrant is
sued for the arrest of Hubbell, his an
tagonist The case was heared last even
ing, when Justice Van Hagan discharged
the defendant.
CALVIN Yesterday We visited this
unfortunate man, and found his condi.
ton somewhat improved. DR.. Deal in
forms us that he has one or two set
backs, but the Doctor thinks that his pa
tient will ultimately recover, unless more
dangerous symptoms than are at present
