THE GRUB DANCE.

Over in northwestern Wyoming
where nature has not been monkeycd
with very much as yet, and where
the noble red man still clings to his
youthful customs, and everything
else he can get his bread hooks at
tached to, party of ladies and
gentlemen, on kind Of summer
tour as it were, pitched their tents,
and while ostensibly catching few
trout and killing an occasional
grouse, were in fact most of the
time killing mosquitoes and admirng
nature in all her unvarnished loveli-
ness. One evening as the twilight
lowered and the camp fire was
lighted, there was q blood-curdling
whoop in close proximity to the
camp that made the hair in the ladies'
SIS Saratoga waves stand on end.
In five minutes hundred warriors
were soon around the fire. They
soon convinced the party that they
were not out after ten-gallon can
of blood, and that everything would
be amicablc. The ladies brought
out solne bread and raspberry jam,
and the gentlemen got a small demi-
john of Kentucky blue grass whisky,
and joy was comparatively uncon-
fined. Later in the evening the
noble chief acknowledgements
sock, whose prowess as a warrior
and unidentified horse thief has
reached from sea to sea, expressed a
desire to give grub Dance" as it
is called. The grub dance" is a
little select hop wherein the principal
features seem to be a wild, snort
ing, Observation-Disclosures and
drag-out waltz, ending in one grand
recherche gorge and semi-annual
till-up. The ladies had never seen
All Indian dance, and they were wild
in moment to see the painted war
rios move through the stately figures
of the may to the mournful music
of the savage orchestra.
Preparations were at once made,
and ring of warriors extending
around the fire, placed themselves in
the proper position to begin, the
pale-faces being situated in the
center of the ring.
In the glorious summer weather
peculiar to this season, the Indian
does not wear blanket, but instead
& large linen tablccloth hung over
him like an old wall tent over a
dead stump. At the tap of the
drum this garment is cast aside in
order to give freedom Of limb and
grace of execution to the dancers.
The drum tap was given as pei
programme and small bills, and with
a wild snort and spring into the
air they flung their tablecloths to
the ground and madly mingled in
the may regardless of expense.
When the brawling braves threw
their NANTES down, their costume
was so alfred dccollctc that every
lady spectator fed like a frightened
deer. One young lady, fresh from
an Illinois normal school, was fount
the next day up tree two miles
and a half away. The great charm
of the grub dance is, that the Indian
after throwing aside his tablecloth
is dressed like the Greek slave, onl,
the Greek slave wore hand
cuffs and the red man in thu
grub dance does not. The young
lady from Illinois says that TIN
customs, conventionalities ant
clothes of an unnatural and artificial
civilization are COED enough for her
and she is going back home as sool
AS some more new skin grows on TIN
end OF her retrousse nose. Lara

A CAMP MEETING ANEcD0TE.

An incident of camp meeting
life detailed by a clergyman on
Baltimore steamboat, is thus re-
ported: San old couple had con-
siderately supplied themselves with
a bottle of pennyroyal oil with which
to keep off the mosquitoes. They
eXtinguished their light and retired,
forgetting the antidote. The mos
quitoes were very bad, and after
standing it as long as they could,
the old lady got up and got a well
filled ink bottle instead of the oil,
and gave the old gentleman n through
lubricating with the liquid, face,
hand and feet; she then anointed
herself in the same manner. They
again essayed to court the drowsy
god, but could only get an OCCASION
al nap. Finally the old lady got up
and struck light. Giving a glance
at the bed she had just left, she be-
held to her horror colored person,
she supposed, stretched in the place
Of her spouse. She quietly got the
poker and beat the old gentleman
over the head before discovering her
mistake. Later on in the night we
found the old couple OH board the
boat with us, he with his head nearly
as big as bale of hay, and she
caring for him with the greatest
solicitude. "-Esch0,tUe.

PUEBLO vs. DENvER-
xhses, Il gsses..s :. .e...e IN

KsftvSDGEE-~
Pueblo is happy She last week secured
the location of the Eiler smelter, and now,
as will be seen by the following, she has
secured the relocation Of the Denver rail
and merchant rolling mill. The Colorado
Coal and Iron Company last week issued
this circular, which is of interest to the
iron trade all over the state:
The extremely low prices that have
been and are now ruling for the products
of merchant bar mill, the uncertain fu-
ture of the iron and steel business of the
country, the necessary sharp competition
caused by a capacity largely in excess of the
demands of the country, compel every pro-
ducer of iron to take every advantage of
all methods of reducing the cost OF manu-
featuring and Increasing the quality of his
production
As we find that we can cheaper the cost
of manufacturing bar iron, mine rail, etc,
by removing our merchant mill from Dem
yer to Bessemer, we have concluded to
make such removal during April We
shall then be in much better condition to
meet the demands of the trade by making
all sizes and shapes of iron, being able tc
use new puddle bar. We shall make ar
iron equal in quality to any made in the
country, and hope to establish for ou- mer-
chant bar reputation equal to that which
our nails enjoy. We shall improve our ia
cilities and place ourselves in position to
fill all orders promptly.
Our policy towards the jobbing trade OF
the state shall in no way be affected by
this move, As we intend to pursue the same
policy in the future as we have in the past.
We shall carry sufficient finished iron in
stock to supply the trade during the inter
ruption incident to removal, which we do
not anticipate will exceed week.

WHICH WILL You HAVE,

There seems to be but one issue to bs de-
cidcd 1t our city election on Tuesday next
It is not denied by anyone that liquor has
been sold openly on Sunday, and that no
effort has been made TO suppress gambling
The ticket which was nominated ON Mon
day last, with the names Of Messrs. Amos
Mack, Augustus Sartor, s. r. Baldwin and
B. F. Moore, as candidates for town trus-
tees, represents the sentiment which is op-
posed to gambling and selling liquor on
Sunday. If q majority of the voters of
this city favor the enforcement of the pres
ent law, the above ticket will be elected.
II, on the other hand, public sentiment de-
mands that our saloons be open on Sunday,
and gambling be recognized as one Of our
. natural advantages" then the gentlemen
named should DO defeated. In case the
pRssear1uws srU UnUt sustaincd by the COM
ing ballot, then, by all means, let the next
town board repeal them, and not keep our
fair city in that unenyiable, hypocritical
position which she has lately occupied.

After our paper had gone to press, Last

requiring the attention of a number of those
usually present. The meeting, however,
was full of interest. On
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Mr.. Ira Lucas conducted the exercises,
and read the text for the day-"HOw
shall we escape if we neglect so great sal
vation?" This be regarded as the greatest
question that concerned the human race,
and he was glad to learn that during his
absence from the city many had been led
to seriously consider it. He hoped the
good work would go on, and earnestly
counselcd the young converts to steadfast-
ness. Several persons asked the prayers
of Christians for the conversion of friends
and acquaintance. Mr.. II. Sartor briefly
alluded to the first work of the association,
and asked all not to weary in well doing.
Rev. Barber made q few earnest remarks
on the seriousness of the question, and the
awful fate of one who neglected the pro-
cious offer. A number of others spoke words
of encouragement to o'the young. On
TUESDAY EVENING
The meeting was led by DIR. E H Sawyer,
who asked that a season of prayer might
be had at once, for the direction Of the
Holy Spirit as to what line of thought he
should pursue. After this he read 1 John ::
1, and took the language of the seventh
verse as a text, following the reading with
a most eloquent address on the efficacy Of
the blood of Christ in removing sin. He
secuted all other doctrines, and held that
the blood, and nothing but the blood, could
effect gospel puriication. At the concius-
ion of his remarks the doctor called upon
all who were trusting in the blood ofChrist
to testify the fact, when nearly every ono
in the house gave in his or her testimony.
The meeting ON
WEDNESDAY EVENING
Was conducted by Rev. ]. w. Partridge,
who considered some of the difficulties en-
countered by young converts, and pointed
out the means of overcoming them.
