Back to his lonely camp at the close OF day
The luckless mlnerwends his weary way;
In pensive study where on earth to make
Another raise, a small provision stake.
UncOmBcd, unwashed, unshaven and un-
shorn,
His clothes in strips by chaparrcl torn;
Toes pecping from his boots, and battered
hat,
Tired and weary as a half drowned rat.
How changed from him we In the city knew,
In stove-ppe hat and long-tailed coat OF blue,
Cigar In mouth and carpet sack in hand
Boun by ma row guage toCRur d'Alene land.
His store OF wood collected for the night
To dry his olothe and cook his little bite;
a broken shovel fries his meat and bakes
A husty mixture Of unlavened cakes;
An oyster can for teapot does suffice
And pine or hr leaves HysOn place supplies.
His supper over he Improves the chUnoe
To patch with -four sacks his demolished
pants.
In musing mood he listens to the sound
OF tho night winds moaning In thsa wo0ds
around,
The mountain wolf or eonger's long drawl
howl
The shriIl cayote and dismal hooting owl
While busy at his task thus ran
The meditationsof the lonely man.
or which have only space to give the
concluding lines, which prove that there are
certainly disadvantages even connected with
gold digging:
Poor as the prodigal who fed with swine,
His dimes all spent In riot and In wine,
Chased by mlsfortuncs over hill and dale
Like a stray dog with tin can 10 his tail,
Too poor TO leave, and out Of luck TO stay,
His chance Is small to ever get away.
Thus thousands live exposed to all the Ills
That lucklcss miners suffer In the hills.

Life in a Mining Camp.

1t is hard to keep separnte the fan
tastic and the sad, in ones Impress
ions; hard to decide which has more
pathos, the camp deserted or the
camp newly begun, the picture of
disappointment over and past or that
of enthusiastic hopes, nine out of ten
Of which are doomed to die. / have
sometimes thought that the newest,
iUest, most sanguine camps were
saddest sights of all.
The expression Of fresh mining
camp, at the height of its "bOom," |"
is something which must be seen to
be cOmprehended.
The camp is in the heart Of a FIR
forest, perhaps, or on the stony sides
OF a gulch. Trees fall here, there,
everywhere, day and night. Nobody
draws breath till he has got cabin,
or bough hut, or a tent over his
head. AS II by gnagic, there grows
up a sort, Of street, dozen or two
board shanties, with the cheapest and
silliest Of all shams, the battlemtnt
front, Haunting its ugly squares all
along the line. Glaring signs ainted
on strips Of cotton sheeting, bleached
and unb,eached, are nailed over
doors. In nexttO no time there will be
a ''nIint" an exchange" a "Bank,"
a "Vienna bakery" a Chinese Rum
dry" a "hotep' and a 'Iivery stable"
Between night and morning will
blossom out crops Of ''real estate
Offices" and places where thinning
properties are bought and sold,m
"claims located, proved, bought and
sold" Surveys of mining claims
made" etc. ; crops alsOy alas Of
whisky saloons, with wicked names
and lurid red curtains, danger and

THE REVOLVING MULE.

"The last time / was In Washing

a correspondent, "those fellows up
at the Navy Department were in
quite a huff over an effort looking to
change in their uniforms, and
there was as great a commotion as
the one that existed during Presi-
dent Pierce's administrati N, when
they talked Of changing the styles
Of uniforms IN the army. That
event was attended bv some very
amusing incidents, but the most
laughahle was the part taken in it
by the late Captain DERBY, or john

We have been permitted to copy
the following bylaws of the first
miners locating in the Ceur d'Alene
mines. OF course we do not claim
that the rules regulate the present

early birds. 1t is taken from the
original copy.
Local laws OF the Ceur dAlene

Tenperanee Talk.

through the coilrtesy Of the RE-
VIEW we have been granted a little
space which from time TO time we
shan fiji with facts, theories, and
opinions pertaining to temperance.
The editor Is in no case to be respOn-
sible for what we write, and so in
the course of our talk, il we should
put forth Wins that my appear to
some hereticRl or unsOund, but the
same be charged to our account and
not TO his. There are one or two
things TO whiJ h at the present time
we wish to call attention. The first
is the fact that there is in our COM
munity a temperance organization
formed for the purpose Of enlisting
all Of whatever age or sex in a uniS
ted effort for temperance reform.
We mention this part because we
wish to follow it with the eXortatiOn
that those interested in the work
who have not yet identified them
selves with the organization do so at
the earliest opportunity. The alli-
ance needs your aid and you need
its influence to strengthen and give
direction to the Temperance princi-
pies you hold. In union there is
strength, and II as community we
propose to contribute anything to
the success Of the drinking reforma-
ton we who see eye to eye on this
great question must come up as one
man to the work. Another thing
worthy of mention and which may
perhaps give force to the above is
the fact that we are just on the eve
Of mining crusade. Mining camps
are Droverbial for their immoral and
corrupting influence. In them the
love Of money grows and brings forth
all kinds of evil. Our close prox-
unity to the mines, and our COM
merclal importance will In the near
future bring TO our city hundreds
and perhaps thousands uf men who
have for the TING being seemingly
thrown off all restraint and yielded
themselves up to tie pleasureable
Wins incident to mihing life. The
fact Of their coming suggests two
questions Of great practical iInpor-
tance, especially to those of US who
are interested in the moral welfare
of our community Whit will be
their influence upon US? What shall
be our influence upon them? In the
first the answer Is very plain. Every
one who comes, ifhe has bad habits,
viii bring them with him, and while
here will want to indulge them and
so fur as opportunity offers will do
50. Brief though his stay may be,
his moral influence during It will be
detrimental rather than beneficial.
And nov about our influence upon
them. II may be positive and help
full, or we may stand aloof, remain
inactive and let these men go on to
destruction as though we cared moth
ing for them. Because a man Is a
miner, or because he drinks, and
gambIes, and swears, It does not fol-
low that he Is entirely blind to truth,
dead to virtue, or beyond the pos
sibiIity Of reformation. All who dig
for gold are not the slaves Of vicious
hlbits, and Of those who are some
no doubt, would be glad TO be free.
The thing for us to do Is to keep this
! truth IN mind and net accordingly.
