A PREACHER IN BULLION.
Rev. Mr.. Pratt Meets with Such n
GOOD Reception that He Will Give
the Miners a keepsake.

The Rev. E. Pratt made his way
late Saturday evening to the lively
camp OF Bullion. Brother Hayes, of
the firm of Phelan 4 Hayes, took the
reverend gentleman in, feeding him
cold lunch and laying him away on
the floor Of his store for the night.
On Sunday the brethren Of the Min.
ers' Union rallied to the help of the
Gospel. They opened their beautiful
new hall, invited the brother to give
them a preach, turned out en- masse
to the service, poured out their silver
in the collection, and ended by ask
ing the brother to return.
The miners of Bullion have shown
an intelligent appreciation of their
own wants in organizing their union
and their good sense in erecting a
building suitable to their needs and to
the wants of their community. They
have further, in the reception of Mr..
Pratt, shown respect for the minis
try and church influences which is
highly creditable to their organization,
and far beyond what is usual in new
mining camps.
The reverend gentleman will show
his appreciation OF their kindness by
the presentation Of handsome COPY
OF the Bible as the first book in their
library. 1t is probable that a read
lng-room and other attractions will be
added to the hall soon.

It's q Boy.

A prouder man than f. H. Hen.
drlck, yesterday morning, has not been
seen in town for long time. As he
came down from Mob Hill, his face
wreathed in smiles, it was evident
that something extraordinary had oc.
CURED. Soon the words "boy-1O-
pounder' dropped by somebody, were
heard on the street, and the mans
strange antics were explained: The
HALEY jeweler had secured jewe
much more valuable than any in his
rich and elegant collection. From
that time on until night, the boys had
as soft thing as they could wish for,
and never lacked for drink or cigar.

the Bellevue Literati.

tne DcllcVuf LltcfAtl.
We make the following extract
from the appeal recently published in
the Bellevue Chronicle to the literary
people of that city. 1t will be seen
from a perusal of it, that some people
are undoubtedly in great need of i'm
provement in literary matters:
The object of this association will
be chiefly to improve our minds, and
spend pleasant evening, by mutual
conversation and friendly debate. Sc
lect readings, music and singing will
be prominent features of this society
All persons, either male or female
who are interested in the welfare OF
our city, and are DESTROYS of keeping
abreast Of the times, come and spend
"a pleasant evening with us once a
week. Males and females are eligible
for membership. Hoping this vii
meet with the appreciation of my fel.
low-citizcns and gain their co-opera.
ton. Yours truly.
ALFRED THOMPSON,
Pastor of the NJ r. Church.
"Males and females are eligible 70,

fishes! But maybe the membership
will not be confined to the human
species.

The Storm Over.

The storm is over; that is evident
But she held her position with a most
tenacious grip while she lasted. Ever
when she began clearing off it took
two days to loosen her hold on the
valley. Saturday evening the fog
lifted from town to a height of about
200 feet, where it stopped, hanging
over the town like Aeecy blanket,
Yesterday morning it began lifting
again, and got very near to the top of
the surrounding hills; but it seemed to
be hooked on to the peaks and unable
to rise above them. To dav, however.
the hills stand out in bold outline, and
the only reminder of the storm is the
leaden appearance Of the sky, which
may be the precursor of little more
rain, but not of lengthy storm.

steals Wife from Her Husband.
One OF the peculiar customs Of the
Chinese in America is that of buv;, -
such of their countrywomen as thew
desire for wives. This species of comm.
bal slavery grows out of the fact that a
respectable Chinawoman seldom
comes to America, and that, as a rule.
the emf grafton of Chinese women r.
America or elsewhere is limited to the
class known as public prostitutes.
these women come here under bond
to some one of the Chinese compan.
les or firms which make it a business
to promote the immigration of Chin
ese to America. BY these bonds they
are compelled to repay their passage
money at the earliest possible moment
oy working for the companies for
specified time, and until that is done
they are held in species of peonnaoe
or modified slavery. Cinnamon in
America who desire to be married
generally buy one of these women
from the companies. The price paid
In such cases ranges from 5000 to
$1,000, according to the beauty of the
woman which it is desired to buy. and
the companies sometimes cleara good
sum OF money in this way.
Sam Chung is Chinaman who. in
Tuscarora, Nevada, in December.
1879, bought Annie Youck, an al
mond-eyed strumpet, from the Hop
Sing Company, paying for her the sum
OF S6OO. He then married her, and
has lived with her ever since. Last
Friday, she being willing, Sam Sing,
merchant of Bellevue, stole her, ac
compa.ied her before Justice Redsull,
and married her. Immediately Sam
Chung and about million other jab-
herlng heathens came to Haley and
demanded the return Of the lost one
OF Justice Lennon. The latter
thereupon went to Bellevue, but could
not find the missing Annie until he
threatened to have her arrested for
brigamy and her putative husband as
an accomplish. This brought both 20
the front, when they were arrested
and taken before Justice Redsull.
There the woman was told that she
could 60 back to her husband, while
Sam Sing was required to give bond
to keep the peace. But right here
trouble arose. The gentle Annie did
not want to go back to her first licre,
and r, fused to be set free.
In this dilemma Mr.. Ruicl, adviser
for Sam Sing, offered to take charge
OF the woman in the case. This
seemed to please her highly, and she
broke out in a broad laugh; but this
was soon put stop to by His Honor
Justice Redsull, who, with an air of
the utmost conviction, said: "No,
Ruick; can't trust her with YOU"
The principals were thereupon all put
under $1,000 bonds to appear to, day.

Union Memorial Services. b.

The Methodist Church was crowded
nearly.to it fullest capacity Sunday morn
ipg.at the Union Memorial Service, which
the members of the Hamlin Post, G.. A. R.
attended in body Most of the soldiers
wore their new uniforms, and the martial
array" was quite significant of army days,
and to the children especially, imposing.
The anthem was stirring, and of itself
would almost recruit an army were q call
to arms necessary; the hymns were patri-
otic, the floral decorations handsome and
the addresses by Rev's. Ward and Moore
revived memories of a score of years ago.
A prominent thought in Mr.. Wards re-
marks was logic of figures in which was
shown what q rapidly decreasing proper
ton of our population have any personal
recollection of, or had any experience of
war. He spoke of the duty of teaching
the young sentiments of loyalty and regard
for the memory Of those to whose deeds of
heroism and whose sacrifices we are in
debted for the peaceful and prosperous cir
cumstances of our home and national life.
Rev. Mr.. Moore based his remarks upon
those passages in the sixth chapter of
Ephesians, in which is described "The
whole armor of God ~ fortified with which
good soldiers are able to Withstand the
wiles of their souls enemy.

Memorial Day.

The remnant of our popAation who have
vivid and painful recollection Of the years
"when we ell passed under the cloud and
through the sean-the white-haired father
or mother who lost q son, the wife her hus-
band, the sister brother, the many who
mourned one and another of their kindred
laid in soldiers grave-all these will un-
derstand the peculiar aptness Of the pas
sages we quote below from "An After
thought" written by Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps, following the Memorial Services
throughout the country when at Elberon
a nations martyr fell, and we found that
the lifetime of one generation wasnot long
enough to outlive the sad associations of
war:
"The ghosts of the past return with the
gathering of the solemn blossoms for Deco
ration Day, and cruelty recall for us the
memories we are trying to forget yet are
forced to remember. Distant, like sentries
awaiting summons, they have stood upon
their shadowy posts. At this bugle-call
they have come trooping back. Their half.
forgotten tread marches with military mex
orableness over our hearts 1t is a piteous
renewal. There seems no healing to the
old scars. There seems no anasthetic to
the old throb. The years seem but a mar
BILE bridge on which the past shall cross
and recross to us. Our sacrifice has pos
sessed itself of the secret of everlasting life,

Good Enough!

Our people who were so fortunate as to
hear Prof. A. p. Burbank one year ago last
winter, will be delighted to learn that he
has been secured to give an entertainment
for the benefit of ftheCongregational Sunday
School, at the Congregational Church in
Wellington, on Friday evening. June 9Th
one week from next Friday evening. The
Professor is master Elocutionist, free
from "ranting'' and 'mouthing," ranking
second only to Prof. Churchill, if he be not
fully his equal. His entertainment among
those of the "Litta Lecture Course" of 81
was so eminently satisfactory that all who
listened to him then, will be the more
anxious to see and hear him again No
one can afford to miss the treat that his
entirely new program of choice selections
bespeak.

Telephone Items.

One of the telephone poles near the cor
ner of school grounds fell down Monday
night about eight o'clock, bringing down
eight wires, and obstructing travel. TWAS
seen TO fall, and it took but few minutes
to gather them into one bundle and draw
them to one side and fasten them on a
tree out of the way. The next morning
a new pole was set five feet in the ground
and guy fastened to a second, also five
feet in the ground, and no further trouble
is looked for in that direction.
We expect to get the eight new instru-
ments so long waiting, all connected by
Thursday night, and possibly one or two
more this week. The new numbers were
wrongly printed and should have been:

herself to abstain from too deep an indul-

found at the bank with her accounts square

be a chance for other women in the same

Closing Out Sale!

Having failed to renew the lease
of my present store or to secure
any other room, I will, after this
date, close out my stock of Cloths,
Clothing, Hats, Caps and Gentle
mems Furnishing Goods at less
than actual cost of the u1imanu-
factured material.
The goods must and will be sold
between this and July 9Th, and if
the people of Wellington, town
and country, want such a benefit
as buying goods at wholesale and
less, they have only to call at my
store and purchase at lower prices
than was ever known.
This is not a bankrupt sale, but
the prices are as low. Cloths will
be made up to order on the same
terms by one of the best tailors in
the country. Call and be con-
vinced.
