A TRUE STORY.
"Monda's" Version Of the Laying of the
Last Rail and Driving of the Last
spike in this City Yesterday,

the ringing of the Bell on Mob Hill.
With one accord the citizens turned
out to Ward off approaching danger.
The Captain of the Pinney-fore, being
Swift Walker, took tie lead in the
Chase, and a company was soon or
ganized. consisting Of all classes, trades
and professions-Black, White, slaves
Friedman, Minears, Parsons, Sawvers,
Taylors, Fishermen, Millers, Carpen-
ters and others.
After short consultation, they con.
cluded the crisis had come-a cyclone
or earthquake-for the air was thick
with smoke. Men, women and child
rem ran in all directions, the Hall shook,
dogs howled, Foxes ran to their holes,
cats climbed over the high Wall,
and the greatest excitement prevailed.
Women and children were Slowed
under the Rafters in the Carrot, with
only crust Of Stable bread to eat un-
til Noble, Gray haired, Elderly man,
recently from Cannady, sent them some
Oldham and other eatables, which
were highly appreciated.
For some time trouble has been
Brewing between HALEY aud Tie
siding, and in Case any violence was
done this place the people were pre-
pared to make some Angels, put them
in their little Collins, and send them
over the River Jordan, for we will not
stand a-Bews. But, happily, all their
fears were quieted when the iron horse,
-Stevenson's great invention--was
seen blowing through the Clay, reach
ing the terminus of the Oregon Short
Line.
"Dickinson such fuss :" exclaimed
Daft Young man; IL knew all the
time it would be here early in May"
Swat if you did 20 replied the
Whistler of the crowd; "you are Brassy
enough to know anything"
a Strahorn found hanging on the
rear car was blown SO hard in honor of
the occasion that it must have been
heard all along the Union Pacific Rail-
road. Then, after driving the silver
spike, made on the Cliff of the noun
tain, and giving three cheers for HALEY
they marched down Croy street to the
restaurant, and had ine Treat. MANY
of the men had been Bache-ing all
Winter, and were tired of Bacon and
beans, SO the best the town afforded
was placed at their disposal. The
bill of fare consisted Of Parker-house
rolls, Brown bread, Wheat biscuit,
fresh from the Baker, cold Boyle Lamb,
Lennon pie, French candies in the
Kings bury dish, and choice Wines
from the Vineyard in HALEY.
The weather has been so Rainey of
late the water in the Brooks was too
Rlley to use; consequently they dis
pensed with tea and coffee The crowd
became hilarious, and INDUCED in such
expressions as: "Hello! my Friend
Green-how are YOU? Is your Mother
well ?" ''Great Scott! Can this new
arrival be Brick Pomcroy 2" "Why
don't you Crowe:" "This is Two
good!" "Give us Moore time" etc.
Then, with a feeling that they had
made their Marx in the world, the
crowd dispersed, leaving the Hynd-
man to settle the bill, which amounted
to Dollar hide.
The women, meanwhile, We're re-
leased from their imprisonment, and
were Braiden their hair, preparing for
the dance last Knight, when their hus-
bands joined them and attired them
selves in their uniform of Picottc blue,
with wide Belt Of Campbell's hair,
and Oliver Green plumes in their
hats. The Wiley fellows Forded the
bitches, Haupt around to the tune of
"'Way Down In Dixie" and danced
the Tucker to their satisfaction.
The day was perfect success. We
know no such word as Taylor. This
is no fable with Morrill,, but True
story. MoNDA.
