DATES OF LOCAL EVENTS.
July 29.--"The Fast Mail" at Reeds

A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT.
The much talked of mill race on
Front street has now been covered
for several weeks, and is an inn
provement worthy of the capital
city. The Willamette Valley Mill
ing Company has expended about
$4,000 on this piece of work, having
used nearly half million feet OF
lumber, besides three rows OF sub
stantial cedar piles the entire length
of the race. This makes a solid
foundation on which rest the heavy
sills which carry the three inch
plank covering, 1t presents a fine
appearance and makes a good I'M
provement for Salem. Front street
could now be easily made one OF the
best in the city by grading it up III
good shape and no doubt the city
will take hold of this street in due
season. The citizens aud the mill
ing company are under obligations
to Supt., Shiel for the excellent
piece of work done.

NUMBER 51.
STRANGE PIETY.
Singular Manifestations Oocasioned
 by Religious Excitement.
Strange Scenes Witnessed Among tho Southern Negroes During Their Re-
 vivals-The Religious Servant Viewed with Distrust.

The different aspects of religion are as diverse as the workings of the hu- man mind. And there is no belief ad- vanced, no matter how absurd it's doc trines, that will not find some votaries to worship at its shrine. The negro. Christianity in the south is a queer. combination of ignorance, superstition and faith. In bushel of their foolish beliefs one finds only small grain of truth. In fact, it would seem they had modified their former fetichism into kind of heather Christianity.
 As matter of truth, southern ne gro's piety has little influence on his everyday life. Some of the biggest rogues and most immoral are the loud est singers in the ''meetin'," and no thought of the incongruity of their lives ever strikes them. Perhaps the doctrine that prevails among them to large extent induces this contrast; for many believe that ''once in grace, al-' ways in grace" So subsequent lapse. into sin is not supposed to have any un- fortunate consequences. ~}@, ,
 Many southern housekeepers regard their servants efforts at ''gettin' '1igion" with horror. For, contrary to what one would suppose, those who "belOng ter de church. are generally the least reliable. And their methods of win ming salvation are anything but pleas ant. In the first place, they imagine that all conversions are the result of sudden revelation. In this revelation, which they call their Experience" they are supposed to be transported out of the flesh and to visit, in the spirit, another world. All this takes place while the body is said to remain dor mant in trance.
 On awakening, some tell marvellous tales of the sights they have seen, de- scribing graphically the golden glories of the New Jerusalem and the cavern ous sulphur pits of hell. Others speak of familiar conversations with the Saviour. And these tales, says the New York Advertiser, ludicrcus as they gen. erally are, often border on the blas- phemous.
 Of course, one must accept the reli- gionist's word for ever having been in &. trance at all But evidently their over wrought nerves and the unnatural state of mania into which they work them selves contribute to render +,,eir hal lucinations reality.
 Sometimesit it really does happen that the negro, when worked up by revival, faints from sheer exhaustion. Again, in their frenzy and shouting, they vio- lently pound their brethren, and oc- casionally this exalted state of piety leads to "knock-down and drag-out' fight. Some almost tear their clothing to pieces in their excitement |.
 To northern reader this state of ig- norance may seem strange. Yet in the city of New York there is large class whose ignorance is as dense, and who need the missionary as much as their negro brothers in the south.

CIGARETTE TENDS.
Among Them Are Great Many of the

Among Them Are Great Many of the
 sGentler Sex.
 ''I know several girls who smoke cigarettes" New York Herald reporter heard pretty damsel say, land it doesn't hurt them bit. I smoke one every day after dinner-just one little delicate one, don't you know, with a holder. Lots of women do it, only they won't own up."
 Having ascertained where they usual ly get them, the reporter called at the place and incidentally mentioned the matter.
 ''Oh, yes, we sell good many cigar rettes to ladies'" said a woman in charge of that branch. '"They usually come in with some excuse that they want them for somebody else, and this may be true, but that is none of our business. Very often gentlemen buy cigarettes for lad ies. How do I know? We'll, they are always more particular and dainty of choice. That is why they come here. They pay fifty cents to one dollar a package for the best-for themselves they get the cheaper kind at the nearest cigar store anywhere. Men don't know how to smoke cigarettes is, few know. They smoke out of doors. To enjoy cigarette properly one should lie down, or at least recline in an easy posture, in the quiet of a comfortable room. To the easy attitude should be brought mind thoroughly composed, and under these conditions of relaxa- tion a good cigarette is thoroughly en- joyable and beneficial"

nIines That Are Lost.

Everywhere throughout the west are lost mines. Every state and territory that has gold or silver has several of them. Around each there clings halo of romance. The lost Pegleg mine on the Colorado desert is the latest to have an inning and be noticed by the press. There is lost Cabin mine near Crater lake, in Oregon. Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and New Mexico have lost mines of some sort or other, nll rich, and locked in the depths of the Navajo res ervation in Arizona is another lost mine. Men with guns and picks and burros steal in from time to time in quest of the latter.

sniciflss ror Sensation.

There is in Paris class of suicides who make every arrangement for stud jed effect. They are known to the po- lice as suicides sensation. To spite some persons and make themselves shudderingly remembered, all the de tail is thought out. Numbcrless letters of farewell are written, an elaborate will is prepared, the rooms arc put in order, and the best clothes arc donned. Poison or the fumes of charcoal arc pre- ferrcd by this class; the revolver or drowning disfgurc tho featurcs too much aItd spoil the cffeet. And this form of suicide seems to bc largely on the increase.
