ANACORTES. w. Z, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1888.

The Secretary then read commun-
icasion from the Office of the Mayor
of Cincinnati, stating that Downright
Cornelius Crowley, colored man of
that city, was ground hog weather
prophet, and had hit every change of
consequence since last Fall. He had
desire to join the Lime Kiln Club,
and in case of his election he would
give the organization some of the best
weather it had ever enjoyed.
On motion of Pickles Smith the
rules were suspended and the prophet
was taken in. He must understand,
however, that in case he predicts an
earthquake or cyclone and the calam-
ity doesn't come to time when the bell
rings. he will be bounced out as speed
lily as he was bounced in. The at
tention of the club was then called to
a yellow handbill announcing grand
celebration at the capital of the State
on the LIST of August next, accom-
panied by letter from the committee
inviting the Lime e-Kiln Club to attend
in body.
l. uc ltcS. eubtOCh odlu u6 ndu Seeu
millions of yellow handbills, but the
fowery language of this beat anything
he had ever digested.
Waydown Bebee was hit by the
same idea. 1t was the first time he
had ever seen the colored man re
ferred to as fraternity" Equality"
guardian angel" and"patriots." He
would move that the invitation be ac-
cepted.
Giveadam Jones had no fault to
find with the language, but what right
had nine second-class BARRIERS in a
small city to issue such call! They
had not consulted the Lime-Kiln
Club; indeed, they had totally ignored
it through motives of jealousy. He
would oppose any motion to attend,
and would favor a celebration in De-
troit.
Several others spoke to the same eff
feet, and the matter was referred to
the Committee on Judiciary for in
.vestigatior.

1 want is a quiet party that wants to
go on a walk" and the boy got up
and hoped on one foot towards his
crutches, filling his pistol pocket with
figs as he hobled along.
"Well, SIR" said the grocery man,
as he took a chew of tobacco out of a
pail. and offered some to the boy,
knowing that it was the only thing in
the store the boy would not take,
''Do you know l think some of these
ministers have about as little sense
on worldly matters, as anybody?
Now, the idea of that man jerking on
an old PAGER 1t don't make any
difference if the PAGER was hundred
years old, he would pace if he was
jerked on"
''You bet," said the boy, as he put
his crutches under his arms, and
started for the door. "A minister
may be sound on the Atonement, but
he don't want to saw on an old PAGER.
He may have the subject of infant
baptism down finer than cambria
needle, but il he has ever been to
college, he ought to have learned
enough not to say 'ye up! to an old
PAGER that has been the boss of the
road in his time. A minister may be
endowed with sublime power to draw
sinners to repentance, and make them
feel like getting up and busting for
the beautiful beyond, and cause them
by his eloquence, to see angels bright
and fair in their dreams, and chariots
flying through the pearly gates and
down the golden streets of the New
Jerusalem, but he wants to turn out
for street car all the same, when he
is driving a 2:20 PAGER. The next
time / drive minister to funeral,
he will walk" and the boy hobbled
out and hung out a sign in front Of
the grocery, Smoked dog fish at
halibut prices, good enough for COM
pany.'

A CURATE's ADVENTURE.

A correspondent informs us of a
romantic incident which has recently
occurred in prosperous London
suburb. A devoted young High
Church curate of interesting appear
ance and great popularity in his dis
trict was waited upon by a young
lady of considerable attraction, but
with an air of deep melancholy, and
clad in a somewhat ascetic garb.
After some confusion and the she'd
ding of a tear, she revealed to him
that she had ventured to visit him on
matter deeply affecting her happi-
ness, she feared her life. The curate
naturally asked what it might be, but
after several attempts to speak,
choked by sobs, she informed him
that the matter was one of such deep
importance that she could not impart
it except at her own abode, where she
adjured him as her spiritual friend,
by all he held sacred, to visit her.
After. some little conversation the
reverend gentleman promised to do
so, and the next day he called at the
address given him. Then the young
lady, with look of still deeper de-
lection and q voice indicative of
remorse and shame, revealed to him
the fatal secret. She had conceived
deep, passionate love for the
curate himself. She knew, she said,
that her passion was hopeless; he in
his devotion to the Church, for which
she loved him all the more, had vowed
himself to life of celibacy, and she
would resignedly carry her attach
ment to the grave, which she felt was
not far off. But there was one kind
ness which it was in his power to
grant her, the remembrance of which
would bring consolation to her dark
and weary path. Would he, before
they parted for ever, give her one
kiss? After some timidity and agita-
tion, the young curate, touched with
pity, complied. The lady shed an
other tear, bade him adieu in hollow
voice, and he departed. A few days
afterwards he received a neat little
parcel gracefully tied with piece of
blue ribbon, and on opening it found
an instantaneous photograph cabinet
size) of himself kissing the young
lady. Accompanying this was com
munication from the fair creature
herself that there were IL more copies,
and that he might have the whole
dozen at ESQ apiece. Should he not
be in want of them it was her inten-
ton to dispose of them in another
quarter. Negotiations on the subject
are said to be proceeding.

THE OHIO WAY.

A farmer residing in Central Ohio
recently visited his son, who owns a
farm in one OF the best grass coun-
ties in the Empire State, and the son
one day remarked that he had lost
money bailing and shipping hay.
The old man looked the press over
and said it was good one, and ex-
amined the hay and pronounced it
good timothy, and then opened bale
of hay to see how it was packed.
"Where's the weeds?" he asked, as
he separated the layers.
weeds? Why, we don't put in
any"
SNo old straw down here?"
"Not bit"
"No stones or dilt?
"None, father"
"And instead of using water soaked
timber to bind your bales, you 60 and
wrap 'em with light wire! John
Henry, it's wonder to me that you
have kept yourself out OF the poor
house."

Cor EvEN.-Smith Washington, an
aged colored African, whitewashed
the fence Of an Austin banker for
$1.25, which the banker paid him in
Mexican quarters at par. Several
days rolled away into eternity before
Smith Washington had occasion to
put one OF those Mexican quarters
into circulation, but when he did so
he was shocked at 20 per cent. dis
count. His feelings were hurt, too.
He lifted up his voice and said: "Jess

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
An Image, Vomiting Fire, Found in Pre-
historic Cave in Idaho.

Feley Abbott, of Sawtooth, went on
to the high and rugged peak opposite
the Pilgrim mine, on Beaver Gulch,
to kill some grouse. The trip was q
hard one, as the mountain is very
steep, and he was obliged to make
many tacks to reach the summit.
While passing near one of the high
granite cliffs he noticed that there
was an opening under it, and thought
that he had found good place to
rest and be protected from the wind,
as he proceeded to it. Seeing that
darkness was inside, and the cave
appearing to be of good size, he made
torch taken from slivers of pitch
pine log near by, and proceeded to
explore his new find. After going
through long, narrow and crooked
passage, he found himself inside a
large chamber with smooth floor and
perfectly dry, which was brilliantly
lighted by a flame in the center. AS
this was the main attraction he eau
tiously went to it. To his utter
amazement he found the image of a
man, made OF what had the appear
ance of silver, and which he thinks it
is. At the head was a helmet of
peculiar pattern, in which were three
imitation feathers made of gold or
copper From the mouth of the
strange image proceeded the flame.
Mr.. Abbott thinks that the prehis
toric and undoubtedly very intelli-
gent race that erected it had
discovered a gas jet, and that there is
communication down through the
body to the solid rock, from which
the gas proceeds perpetually. 1t is
an evidence that there is an immense
body of coal oil under the mountain.
from which the gas proceeds. After
satisfying his curiosity looking at the
wonderful lamp, he tremblingly com
menced search for other objects.
On the wall were hieroglyphics: which
of course he could not read. In one
corner was very large human skel-
eton. at least nine feet high, and by
it stone tomahawk and large cross
bow, which, although it had the ap-
pearance of being perfectly sound,
fell into a thousand pieces when he
attempted to lift it. A stone mortar.
containing some very rich gold speci-
mems, was found, and also some large
pieces of ruby silver Ketchum
Keystone.

"A man worth $4,000 blew out the
gas in his room at a New Hampshire
hotel the other night, and was too
dead the next morning to inquire for
his boots" It would, we venture to
assert, have affected him in the same
way if he hadn't been worth $5.

Lines in Memory of Miss Jennie Shure

o. Death, why did'st thou lay thine icy hands
upon this cherished one OF all our hearts? Thy
ruthless power hath claimed harvest rich, and
Jennie's heart Is stilled before thee. But here
thy will is bounded. The freed soul of our below
ed has passed beyond thy reach and now, white
robed within the pearly gates, she lives; and
stamped upon her lovely brow is seen the seal of
youth immortal. What though the home she left
below is sad and desolate; what though the bit
ter cup ofagony and tears is left friends to DRAIN
let no fond wish from stricken hearts be breathed
ing heart bows to the will divine, and would not
reach hand to still the golden harp which now is
sweetly tuned to angel mnstresy. A mothers
love--deep, pure. undying and sincere as but Il
mothers love can be--would not let one sigh go
forth if IL would reach or mar the bliss that now
surrounds her child. Nor would the pure atfec-
ton of sisters burdened heart allow its grief to
call to earth again the sainted sister, whose COM
panionshp she feels can never be replaced. The
deep devotion of those brothers hearts, though
all unsehsh as it is and narrowing as the thought
must be, that Jennie comes no more, in sympa-
thy and love- to share their sorrows their joys
would not wish her back again to live and learn,
ere long, AS all must learn, how rugged is this
life. All, no. If from the portals of her abode
the darling one could now look down and see the
chair, the speechless grief around-what, think
you, would those lips immortal say? Weep not
for me, dear friends weep not for me, nor wish
me back. Ills vain earth has no charm to woo
me thither. Look up and learn to trust in Him
who thus afflicts thee. This call obey. o, heed it
now and know that Heaven can ne err be reached
but by repentance, faith and trust in Him who
gave his son to die that we might live Come, then,
10 Him, and we shall meet again. Z.
