Mr.. Harry Ellsworth, of Kelton
Utah, left here yesterday. Harry
seems as young in disposition as
when he resided in Boise county. but
the silver threads among the jet, pro-
claim him growing old.
l came near getting you an item OF
interest to dancers last evening, but
well the ball didn't come oil, but the
baacl did. 1t had been understood in
uppertendom for day or two that
there was to be dance on the even
ing of the 18th inst, and the brave
and fair were a tiptoe to catch the
first notes of the inspiring violin. But
before the time came around Madam
Scandal found opportunity to whisper
into somebody's ear that certain OF the
ladies were no better than they ought
to be; and-well, you know, women
have no charity for each other. If ev-
err one is even suspected of predilec-
ton for the forbidden fruit, neither
youth nor circumstances may serve to
defend or excuse her. She is at once
and forever cast out of the synagogue
of her sisters confidence and regard,
and becomes, perforce, zone more un-
unless she have unusual
inward strength to sustain her. But
it is nonsense to preach charity, for
there can be none found to practice it,
and the world will move on just as it
has always done-the innocent suffer
ing with the guilty.
Notices were posted about town
yesterday calling mass meeting OF
the citizens to send the Chinese out OF
camp. That they are an undesirable
element in this or any other communi-
", is clear to all save such as profit
oy the cheap wages system their
presence maintains wherever they 60.
They are a nuisance. Still any meas

such acts will ever be recorded of At
anita. A better way to get rid of the
Chinese would be for all of us to re-
use them employment. In a camp
ike this they would then have to
cave or starve.
The political pot is boiling here, and
numerous old political pensioners are
cen struggling among the bubbles

+ their (no doubt sincere) desire to
erve the dear people, there seems to
re desire in some quarters to put
ut new guard. However, many of
he aspirants are very excellent and
cry capable gentlemen; and although
hey have held Office before, it would
e unwise to exchange them for un-
wise or doubtful men. What the pub
&c here wants is good, honest, efficient
than rotation in office.
