ing General merritt.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-In con-
sequence of the stormy weather
which has set in on the route be-
tween Rawllns and the White
River Agency, and of the retreat of
the hostile Utes over the mountains
southwark from the latter point, it
has been determined to relinquish
the former purpose of reinforcing
General Merritt by direct line from
the Union Pacific Railroad; but Or
ders have been issued by General
Sherman for the i'm mediate con-
centration of troops near Alamosa
aud Pagesa, Colorado, with the
view to joining General Merritt's
forces and of cooperating with him
in the Unacampa region, in case
the scene of hostilities shall have
been shifted thus far to the south
ward.
No advices have been received at
Army Headquarters either from
Merritps command or in regard to
Apache disturbances in New Mex
leo. 1t is believed, however, the
latter will be speedily quelIed, as
IL hC ihliS w ONtt-
take the marauding Indians, will
undoubtedly drive them over the
border into Mexico.

all the way around the track it was a
test of speed for the lead between Mus

very exciting and interesting race
and considerable morey changed hands.

SIS, second $40 and third $25. Three
entries were made-Greeley, Mustang
and Grey Eagle. Mustang sold first
choice in the pools. An excellent start
was had, and Greeley came in first,
with Grey Eagle good second and

The Fcriale pedestrian cs.

Sheriff Miller while in Caaiforniawith
an insane man, visited San Francisco
and took look at the female pedes-
TRANS. He says, with one or two ex-
ceptiOns, they were the homeliest wo-
men he ever SAW. The Bodie woman
who had the lead in the race was a
"holy terror" so far as personal APP
pearance indicated, and frightened some
of her competitors off the track. All
the pedestrians were badly used up.
Their limbs were sore and swollen, and
several of them had to be forced on the
track by their trainers and hackers.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN.
Fright Prospects for q Prosperous
Camp.


Thomas ]. Taylor, an experienced
miner and smelter, who went from Eu-
reka to South Mountain to examine the
mines of that section, and, if favorably
impressed with their appearance, to
start smelling furnace to- reduce the
oress arrived here yesterday on his way
home. He is of the opinion that the
mines are rich and permanent, and that
South Mountain is destined to be a
great producer of base bullion. A fur
mace is successfully running on ore from
the Mono, and he thinks shere is ore
enough to keep it rsnning until tun-
mel, which is now being run, cuts the
ledge, after which he thinks there will
be NO trouble in getting plenty of ore.
The first shipment of bullion was made
from the furnace Saturday. 1t con-
sisted of ten tons, which assays $665 in
silver to the ton. Another shipment
will be made this week, and, as the
furnace is running splendidly, it is ex-
pected that shipments will be made
regularly henceforth. Mr.. Taylor be-
heves that South Mountain is destined
to be a. lively camp, and that it will be
one of the greatest base bullion pro-
ducing districts on the Coast

THE 'SQUIRE'S GHOST.

DARKNESS was gradually closing
~ over the sedate little village of
Edgeville, and night was drawing on
apace. The subdued twilight was CIV
ing place to gloom deep and Opaque;
night was settling down over Edgeville
and its quaint old church under the hill,
on which the bell was now tolling.
Near by the little church = being, in
fact, only separated from it by the
churchyard, was small, neat cottage,
the dwelling of the sexton, little,
withered old man, who, having been
born in the village, and never having
made days journey away from it, was
a sort of pensioner of the village, who
considered him a village institution,
and withal looked up to him as an
oracle.
Adam Hill was town-clerk, as well as
sexton, and postmaster besides = al
though his postal duties consisted in dis
tributing the half-dozen or so of letters
which arrived weekly by the mail-rider.
AS he could actually pronounce the ma
jority of the polysyllabic words scatter
ed through the columns of the newspa-
per which occasionally strayed into
Edgeville from the great outside world,
and as be was known to have quoted
Latin once in his youth, he was consid-
ed a person of boundless sagacity and
erudition, and was prominent man in
Edgeville.
While the bell had been tolling Adam
Hills hale old wife had been composed
ly knitting, in the demure society of the
smouldering fire, the purring cat, and
snoring hound curled up on the red
brick hearth-raising her head ever and
anon to glance out of the window across
the graveyard to the church where her
goodman was tolling the bell in men,
ory of Squire Lowell, who had departed
from Edgeville and this world five years
before, at the age Of eixty-one. On the

Select Poetry.
FATE.

There were lamps and the odor of blossoms,
The whirl of the waltz, and the beat
OF instruments tuned to feet dancingi
There were VOWS and responses sweet;
And into the chaos of color
My heart went seeking a face
That floated amid the gay dancers
Like rose blown free in its grace.
A glimpse of gold tresses uncoiling,
A glimpse of stars that were eyes;
A sigh from rose mouth soft parted,
smile sweet with soft melodies;
And my heart whlrled round with the walters,
And misty the lamps paled, and far
The music receded, like strainng
OF wave o'er an oceans gray bar.
merry,
Gay life is 1eeting at best:
If you carry heart in your bosom,
Get rid of it, friend, with zest."
But ever the music moaned by me,
And ever the face floated fair,
And ever knew that siren
Had lured me to follow for eer.
The lamps went out with the morning,
The warm odors drifted away;
The music was hushed, and the dancers
In dreams of its melody lay;
But e'er like beautiful phantom,
The face, in my path, moved in flight
And ever follow its circlng
From dawn till the dusk of the night.
And subtly it Escapes from my grasping,
Like dream a soul woes to stay;
And ever feel, in mad clasping,
shadow, thin, bloodless and gray;
Till cry, in despair! o face fairest,
Grown out like rose, from glance,
Let me hold thee but ouce to my bosom,
And death may whirl wild in its dance
