NeW AoFN ohHs
Leaving the gambling halls ct about
u O'Clock ! went to o rather famous
theatsr. or free and easy. that all stran.
gers who wish to DO disguised should
see. I have seen many vile shows In
the mining camps OF the Northwest. In
the flush times Of the war the Cantsr.
bury Ut Washington was the resort OF
the vilest Of both sexes. But never 30.
fore did I hear such vulgar language a.
I heard in this low Lesdville den.
Liquor wal sold by women who walked
about importuning men to drink In Q
town 1900 feet above tho sea. The
dance halls were crowded by drunken
miners and deprAved womsn. The
men and women danced, smoked
and swore In perfect harmony. Long.
haired Pixies. with rsvolvers belted
on them. the belts full Of cartridges,
the pistols Topping up and down a. they
advanced, good.nsturedly went through
the intricate figures Of fancy dances,
and excused the blundsrs and missteps
made by drunken mining comrades.
Dense with the smoke OF poor tobacco,
scented with the strong fumes Of alco.
hol. and heavily charged with the sick.
ening smell OF uncleanly men and vo.
men, the air was not pleasant to breathe.
and the gas burnt low and dim. The
scene In these places. a. whisky and so
called brandy were poured down parched.
feverish threats, grew intensifsd In
good.humored uproar and indeoency. I
left the dancehalls. Going to my hotel.
I saw many dozen drunken men. some
staggering along the sidewalk; others,
entirely overcome, sleeping on door
steps. Stepping into q saloon to have
. last glimpse at q gambling.table. I saw
~thirty.ssvsn DRINKS lying on the floor or
sitting in chairs. ! turned and went 10
my hotel. There I saw the first amusing
incident Of the night. A blind man had
been put to bed with Q drunken miner.
At 8 o'clock In the morning the sightlsss
ons woke up very thirsty. So he awoke
the miner. and asked hin 10 guide him
to the water-tank. The two had Just
reached the Office when I came In. The
miner had not slept Of his whisky. He
guided the sightlsss man not TO the water
tank, but to the bar. Tricky the miner
said: ''I'll take whisky straight" The
blind man said: "What! The bar! More
than I dared hope for. Whisky!" and
they drank deeply. The miner. clad In
shirt and drawers. led his sighilsss COM
rade 10 his room, executing the while Q
solemn dance, and accompanying himself
by swapping his fingers.

Sleep without a Monument.

The sea Is the largest OF cemeteries,
and all its slumberers sleep without .
monument. All other graveyards, In oil
show some symbols OF distinction
between the great and small, the rich
and poor; but In that ocean cemetery the
king and clown. the prince and the psas.
ant arc alike undistinguishsd. The
same wave rolls over all; the requiem by
the minstrels OF the ocean 10 sung In
their honor. Over their remains the
storms beat and the same sun shines;
and there, unmarked. the weak and the
powerful. the plumed and the unhonored
will sleep until. awakened BY the trump.
the sea will give up its dead. No mar.
bic rises to point out whore their ashes
are gathered. Yet the cemetery hath
ornaments OF which no other can boast.
On no other are the heavenly orbs re-.
feotsd in such splendor. Over no other
IL heard such noble melody.

Carsoa Tribune, June 10.

halted in the identical spot . OF the
former occasion - between Sulphur
Springs and S~vsetwatsr Station-and
by the same men. Charley Cambridge.
the driver. Was commanded to throw out
Wells. Fargo & Co.'S treasure box. He
gazed into the mouth OF Q shotgun
for Q few moments and finally obeyed.
The robbers were moro kindly dis
posed than on the former occasion, not
Offering to molsst the passengers. All
the money and valusblss In the treasury
box we're taken. amounting. a. near a.
can be estimated by agent Tickner. TO
about $500. One Of the road agents
politely informed the driver. Cambridge.
that when they met him again they
would return his watch. The following
passengers we're on the iatsd stage (:
Mrs. E. Crown. Mrs. Mcbride and
child, I. Stead. I. w. Smith. John

One Of tho ladies had considerable
money In the shape OF gold notes. and
% soon - the stage was stopped she
secrstsd the notes in her hair. These

conferred with his associates on the sub.

the conclusion OF the conference was in
favor Of the broad gauge. This decision
was arrived at because OF the general
dullnsss on the v. 4 T. r. r. and the
consequent laying idle Of engines.
