FUN AT QUARTZBURG.

To explain the following lines, VIII
state that John Vesey told friend of his
in joke, that he would get married on
the 18th of March; SO the boys turned out
to give him send-off. George Hardia
Bake "Snappoodle," last win
ter, on account of his winning SO often at
the faro game.
Twas up at Quartzburg, so they say,
On Johnny Vesey's wedding day,
The boys they thought to take run,
30 with tin cans and kettle drum,
With Mike Mcdonald have some fun;
George Bake tho't to head the boys
And help them on with fun and noise;
20 ne dressed himself in sudden haste
With white plug hat and painted face,
lie, with Bill Weaver took command,
And ordered on, that German band.
The game was running high and tast
Twas stud-horsc poker in full blast;
While those who sat and play'd together
Were Vesey, Ponce and old Mike Fenner
A fourth sat waiting to come in.
The boys they called him Patsey Quinn.
George Hardin sat and watched that game
He could not play, his leg was lame;
And M'Donald talk d with the old gossoon.
The boys all know him, Murty Crosson.
Then the band struck up so brisk and gay
MDonald's eyes lit up, they say;
While Vesey thought to stop the noise
Cried, Jasus! Nc, now trate the BOYS.
At that command Mcdonald flew;
Behind the bar his form he drew;
His noble features wan and pale,
His hair stood up as in gale;
Excitement held him firm aud fast,
AS on the crowd his eyes he cast;
With husky voice called to the boys,
What will yes have hell stop your noise.
Then all the boys in sudden haste
Thought whisky straight would suit their
taste.
With nervous hand then, Mike he drew
The whisky bottle full in view,
And yet full we'll Mcdonald knew
There was nary red in that whole crew
Yet, hoping still, twas not too late,
lie ask'd George Bake, amt We going
to treat.
Well, the boys filled up their glasses high
And drank a toast to Vesey's boy.
"Snappoodle" march'd up to the groom,
His Roman nose in cherry bloom,
And, smiling he held out his hand,
| But Vesey didn't understand
Till Weaver, laughing, till he almost cried
Said, Boys, 'hurrah tor Veseys BRIDE"
John Vesey, when he saw the Joke,
He turned around and laughing, spoke,
By Jazes, boys, now yes can go it,
But next time get married ye'el niver
| know it, w. C.

The Philadelphia Press says that
Gen. Meigs was the great spender of
the public money. During the war
he directed the expenditure of as much
as ST. 100000, a sum by the side
of which Vanderbilt seems like pau
per. He also audited mass of war
claims, allowing $4,000 that amounted
to $40,000,00c. But not a dollar
stuck to the honest officers hands.

The Chicago Times publishes an ex
tended interview with Robert G. In
gersoll in reply to the Rev. Mr.. Tai
mange's recent sermons against him.
Abiding to the latter's attack upon
George Elliot, he says: George Elliot
tenderly carried in her heart the bur-
den Of our race. She looked through
PHYS tears upon the frailties of man
kind. She knew the springs and seeds
of thought and deed, and saw with
clouldless eyes through all the wind
ing ways of greed, ambition, and de-
ceit-where folly vainly plucks with
thoru-pierced hands the fading flowers
Of selfish joy-the highway of eternal
right. Whatever her relations may
have been-no matter what think or
others say, or how much all regret the
one mistake in all her self-denying
loving llfe-I feel and know that in
the court where her own conscience
sat as judge she stood acquitted, pure
as light and stainless as a star.

The Baptist ministers at their con-
ference in New York memcrialized
Congress against the passage of the
Chinese bill. They say the country
needs the labor of Chinese, who are as
a people quiet and inoffensivc, and
that under the constitution they have
a right to come here on the same terms
as other immigrants. other clerical
bodies have taken similar action, and
many of the lapers unite with them
iii opposition to the BILL They argue
that for years, unmpeded by any arti-
fetal restrictions, so far from there be-
ing any emptying of the slave pens of
China upon California, the number of
departure Of Chinese nearly equalled
the number of arrivals. Ignorant of
the cause of these departures they
overlook the fact that 1t affords an ex-
cellent reason for restricting their en-
migration. They come here to make
money, not like European immigrants
with the intention of making homes
for themselves and remaining in the
country, but for the purpose of going
back to China when they have accu-
mulated few hundred dollars which
enables them to live at ease in the
land of their birth, and where the
bones of those who die here are taken.
The Chinese who leave California to
return to their own country have in
variably made money at mining or
some other business the profits of
which if conducted by white men,
would remain in the country, and their
ideas of Christianity and American civ
lllzatlon are no more exalted when
they leave than when they arrived.

THE Wood River Ne,us, March 18th,
is filled with interesting locals, de-
scriptive of the various mines, business
and business prospects, and is certain
ly the most interesting paper, gener-
ally, ever issued in the Territory.
From it we take few extracts:
Robinson Brothers have run their
sawmill, which is located in heavy
body of timber just above the hot sui
phnr springs. all winter, and hauled
the same out to the river stage road,
and by so doing they reaped a rich
harvest as they received $40 per NJ for
every foot of it. A townsite has been
surveyed off near the springs, in which
Geo. w. Taylor and others are inter-
ested.

A VIGOROUS SPEECH.
Winnemucca Silver State.


The speech delivered by Senator
Jones, Of this State, in advocacy of
the Chinese restriction bill, is the most
vigorous and earnest on the subject
made in the Senate. The Senator
did not confns himself exclusively to
the Chinese, but denied the success
which had been claimed for the civili-
cation Of colored races. The dispatch
relating to the speech, which is pub.
lished in full in the Congressional Re-
cord, says:
Senator Jones carried the question
to fundamental principles and issues
which the other speakers were afraid
to touch upon. He boldly discussed
the position of the negro. affirming in
the most vigorous and eloquent Ian
guage that, although we confirmed
upon him all the rights of the citizen,
experience is teaching US that he can
never attain to the lofty points of
American civilization; that he can
never be of the governing class, and
that he will never control the destinies
of even a single State; that this coun-
try to enjoy the great future in store
for it must confne its incoming popu-
lation to the Caucasian race, and not
to an admixture with servile races.
He dwelt on the fact that the tariff
was a protection to the capitalist,
while the admission of the Chinese was
free trade in servile labor. He expos
ed the cant and history of New Eng
land Senators, who were always clam
oring for protection and the Identifying
of American labor, while now they
are clamoring for the unlimited CON-
ing of the most degraded servilc labor,
the Chinese coolie. The speech was
one of the Senator's best efforts, Wig
orous and brilliant in language, start
ling in the force and originality Of its
ideas, eloquent and trenchant in its
criticism. The galleries were crowd
ed, and he was listened to with breath.
less interest, especially by the South
eln Senators, many. of whom came
over and took seats on the Republican
side. The others hung on every word
as sentence after sentence bore down
on the arguments of the prof. Chinese
advocates, and indicated, perhaps, a
new departure in American politics.
1t was very noticeable that Senators
Hoar and Dawes, who had badgered
Senators Miller and Farley with ques-
lions during their speeches, never once
interrupted, Notwithstanding the mer-

done but what came out in the drift
only was broken and sacked for treat

and there was a dividend declared O
$4,000. The highest assay of Monday
ore were between $4,000 and $1,000
per ton.

AN old man named - Gage, who
trapped up in Bear Run. during the
winter, was badly used up by bull.
at Mitchell's, on the Payette, several
days ago. Gage, when the enraged
bovine made for him started for
bank, expecting to save himself by
leapiDg over, thinking the bull would
stop at the bank. When the man
reached what he thought was a place
of safety, the beast was right onto
him and the two tumbled down to-
gether, a distunce of twenty feet.
Then the fight commenced, and it
was ferocious one. Gage had a
Ratchet in his hand with which he de-
Tended himself, and he finally made a
fatal blow, striking Mr.. Bull square
between the horns. Mr.. Gage was
severely gored and bruised, and Dr..
Rothwell fears his wounds will prove
fatal.
Mr.. ED1roR:-On the evening of
Feb. Goth Judge Belford, of the Com
mittee ON Public Lands of the House
told me that the original bedrock fume
bill was still pending before the COM
mittee, aud that / should have an OPP
portnnity at 10 o'clock on the Dist
inst, to state before the committee my
objections to the bill. At the appoint
ed time l presented myself as per
agreement at the committee room, and
was told that the committee had that
morning adopted substitute of Mr..
Ainslie's for the bill; would report it
to the House and have it printed, when
| could see the substitute. This was
four days after I arrived in Washing
ton. Mr.. Ainslie told me he introduced
the bill at the request of some Senator
whom he did not recollect, and he new
er read the bill nor knew it's contents.

was before the Senate committee two
or three days after the Goth is mis-
