get a lot of assays from c. E. Burlin-
game. It will be remembered that
Prof. Brohead recently examined the
mines Of the North Park Il Vandalia
company, and spoke highly Of the En-
domile mine, assays from which aver
aged about $500 to the ton. Seven as
says were made in North Park. Major
Wham had seven assays made in Dem
yer, and they were nearly as high as
the Teller assays.
The average of the fourteen assays is
1858 to the ton.
This is very rich ore and the stock
holders of the Vandalia company are
naturally elated over their possessions.

+ SCHOOLS OUT.
Chase's theater was the scene of gay
festivities yesterday, it being the exhi-
bition at the close of the Cheyenne
public schools. About ten O'Clock the
scholars formed in procession at the
school building, and marched down the
principal streets to the hall, where the
exercises were held. A large flag with
the inscription, Cheyenne Public
Schools" was carried in front of the
scholars, and the procession Of little
ones, most of whom carried flags, pre-
sented a beautiful appearance.
At II O'Clock Chase's theater was
packed to its utmost capacity by the
parents and friends of the children,
all anxious to see how the scholars
would acquit themselves before an au-
dience. Their most sanguine antici-
pations were more than realized, and
each speaker received a hearty round
of applause at the close Of his or her
recitation.
At II O'Clock the people were called
to order, and Rev. W. A. Chamberlain
offered prayer, after which the scholars
sang an appropriate song. Little Lot
tie Lehmer was the first on the pro-
gramme, and did ample justice to her
recitation, the title of which was "Kit-
tie." Another recitation by Grace
Durbin, entitled 1.-THE Power of Lit
ties" was also excellently delivered.
Then Edith Johnson, q spright little
girl, rendered "A Lesson From Man,
ma" in a praiseworthy way.
You Put no Flowers on My Papa's
Grave" by Frankie Jones, was superb,
and drew hearty applause.
Memo Kent rendered "Katie Lee and
Willie Gray in charming style; and
Maud Harriet Message to Fairy
Land" was excellent. Then a solo,
Brock Me to Sleep" was sung; and
Freddie Haughton's recitation, "My
Old Hat" was well rendered, and
hearty applause was the result. Kepler
Hoyt was the next speaker, and rem
dered ''The White Footed Deer'' highly
satisfactory to all. kate Ketchem.''
by Marie Maynard, was superb, and
dorothy Gray" by Ida Bergman,
was excellent. Anna East's recitation,
1.-THE Smack in School," drew forth
hearty applause.
Then a trio, by three of the school
children, was sung, and Hattie Whites
recitation, "The Last Hymn" was re-
ceived with applause. The last reci-
tation, by Miss Della Huffschmidt,
entitled "The Red Jacket" was most
admirably delivered, and the young
lady was loudly applauded.
After more music Rey. j. Y. Cow
hick was called upon to make a few re-
marks, and responded in his usual
happy style, impressing upon the minds
of the scholars that they held their fu-
ture in their own hands, and cautioned
them to maintain the truth at all times.
Mr.. Cowhick is a pleasant speaker, and
was listened to with marked attention,
not only by the scholars, but by the
older people as well.
The benediction was then pro-
nounced, and the scholars dispersed for
their different homes.
The exercises taken, Is a whole,
could not be excelled; the scholars dis
played a proficiency which is a credit
to the teachers Of the public schools of
this city.

form now lettering and reeling. Words
cannot express her thoughts-no' one
imagine her feelings save those alone
who have experienced her fate. Hor
rOr of horrors must be her fate when
she finds that he has thus deceived her.
Oh, cruel man, how can you take her
from the paternal roof where all was
peace and happiness and thus bring
her to shame and misery?
You forsake her but still cling to the
cup of intemperance, which will bring
you to a drunkard's grave, where you
are hid from this world, but alas, your
troubles are not over. Show me one
that will touch it at no time nor
place, and will show you one hundred
that will not refus9 it.
Young men will visit the billiard and
drinking saloons and not think much
harm OF it, but if their sisters should
90 there, no censure could be strong
enough to satisfy the merits of the case
Intemperance cuts down youth in its
vigor, manhood in its strength, and
age in its weakness. 1t breaks the IA
theirs heart, and bereaves the loving
mother. Blots out affection, blightS
hope, and brings mournful age in sor-
row to the grrve. 1t burns up man,
brings woman to shame and want, de-
feats life, curses God, and despises
heaven. 1t brings shame, not honor,
terror, not safety, despair, not hope,
misery, not happiness. 1t poisons fe-
licity, destroys peace, and ruins morals.
1t blights confidence and blasts reputa
ton, then curses the world and laughs
at its ruin. How many noble mind
is destroyed How many priceless
soul lost ! and still going down, down,
and will not pass by that cup of ruin.

COLLINS RIVER.
Shun the Cup.

Editor Standard How many young
men, at the dawn of the new, year,
promised to leave off the cup of intern
perance? Echo answers few. Yes, it
was few that paused a moment to re-
feet upon their past lives, to see how
many faults they could leave off at the
beginning of the new year. Deeds of
last year cannot be blotted out, but
must ever stand as a stain upon our
character. Why not turn leaf at
the beginning of the year and say /
can and aOW shun the cup that is lead
ing SO many poor souls to ruin? If
you will form this resolution with the
firmness man claims to possess, you
could then resist all temptations and
bid fair to be noble man in future.
You are growing worse day by day,
and in a few years, at the rate you are
now going, we will have a country
filed with drunkards.
Drunkards ! The very word fills
my heart with fear, and makes me feel
an interest in the lives you are thus de-
stroying. God put man here for some
noble purpose. Then why make such
beasts of yourselves? You were not
put here, as many seem to think, to
bring wives, mothers and children to
sorrow, shame and disgrace. Woman
was put here to share the joys and sor-
rows9of man, and it is in your power
to make her happy or miserable. Then
