ABOUT THE DALLEs.
A Lovely Spot for Grand and PIctur-
esque Scenery.

A Lovely Spot for Grand and PIctur-
esque Scenery.
Special to The CHRoN1cLEl
THE DALLEs, Jan. 12.-As yet Wasco
county is too young to be of note in
places of historic interest; but for grand
and picturesque scenery it certainly
cannot be excelled. Any of the high
points around The Dalles will amply
repay the climber in picturesque sur
prises spread out before him. The de-
llghtful memories of a drive through
the entire length of the Hood river val
ley, with day and night passed in the
company of Mount Hood, at Cloud Cap
Inn, can never be effnced from the minds
of those who have experienced the trip.
Yet there is point nearer The Dalles
which in its way, has value of its own,
not to be found at CLOUD Cap Inn 1000
feet above the sea, nor in the company
OF the grand old mountain, with his
towering head of snow; nor in it's gla-
cial beds with their interesting moraine,
deep crevasses and frozen cataracts.
This point is twenty-five miles from
The Dalles at the summit of the Des
Chutes ridge, the highest point between
the Tygh ridge and the Columbia river.
Here, 5000 feet above the sea, in a
radius of 100 miles, seren snoaU peaks are
Uisible. Can so many snow peaks be
seen at once from any other point in
this state2
One hundred miles away to the south
in Crook county, the North Sister and
Mount Condor, two peaks of The Three
Sisters, are seen. In the southwest,
on the boundary line between Linn and
Crook counties, Mount jefferson sfalls
in line." A little to south of west our
own Mount Hood boldly rises in full
view, almost within speaking distance.
Here ends the view of the Oregon
snow peaks; but our gaze sweeps on
toward the north into Washington,
where st. Helens timidly shows her
head through a gap of the Columbia.
Farther on in the circumference of our
vision, but geographically nearer, Mount
Adams towers as stately from the south
west corner of Yakima county as Mount
Hood rises majestically from the west
ern boundary of Wasco county. And
last, but not least, for this is the highest
peak in the Cascade range, Mount
Rainier speaks to US from Pierce county,
telling of Sound cities. Beyond Rainier
is a range of serrated snow peaks, not
unlike the Olympic range, but late in
the summer their snow disappears.
All these snow peaks, with their
mountain ranges, plateaus, foothills
and valleys testify of a Creator,
whose wisdom and power "compre-
hended the dust of the earth in meas
ure, and weighed the mountains in
scales, and the hills in a balance"
Let no one allow an opportunity to
escape by not visiting this point, taking
clear, sunshiny day for the drive.

Origin of a Famous Hymn.

1t is well known that the hymn
"Hold the Fort was inspired by the
story of the signals exchanged by
Gems. Sherman and Corse when the
latter was besieged at Allatoona, Ca,
but few know how the idea was
brought to Mr.. Moody's mind. The
Boston Globe says that once when
Gen. and Mrs. Corse lived in Chicago
Mr.. Moody called. While there he
took up book that told the story of
that famous conflict in which Corse
had been SO badly wounded, and, see
ing the message from Gen. Sherman,
'Hold the fort! for am comingw ex-
claimed, enthusiastically: "What a
magnificent motto that would be for a
marching song for the army of Christi"
And the day after the famous hymn
was written, beginning with Hold
the fort, for l am coming, Jesus sig
nails STILL hymn that has been sung
in almost every hamlet on the con-
tinent and whose strains across the
ocean have become familiar to the ears
of men who never heard of Gen. Corse
or the beleaguered men at Allatoona.

interesting from the fact that SO many

THE BLACK WATER.
A New Mining District in the
County.
"A Rich Camp of Which Little Is
Known but of Which Much
VIII Be Heard.

A new mining camp has sprung into
prominence. The location is twenty
five miles from Tempe, twenty from
Goldfeld and sixteen from Kyrene,
in the Blackwater district. The first
work was done there about Septic mber
1, of the present year. This six-week's
old camp has already more than forty
claims located and one, the Palo Verde,
has been sunk thirty-eight feet all the
way in good rich gold ore. The vein
varies in the different claims but the
richest so far is that found in the
Golden Calf, which vein is fourteen
inches of decomposed granite carrying
heavy free-milling gold in quantities
that almost dazzles the eye. No richer
or better looking rock has been yet de-
veloped in the territory and If the
quantity holds out the camp in the
Blackwater district will vie with Gold
field or the Harqua Halas, both in
richness and extent.
The leading claims located so far are
the three owned by billiard, Van Horn,
johnson and Stanton; The Gold Bug
and two others by Perron & Deniston !;
two by Norton & Sacre; three by Lee
& Fitzhugh, while Fish & Bailey have
located as we'll as Stewart and others.
This district is six miles from water
which is no doubt the reason it has not
been worked formerly. Silvester's
Wells six miles distant, is the nearest.
billiard thinks this is the location of an
old Spanish mine once operated but
later filled up by the Indians and as a
proof exhibits pictured rocks and those
engraved by nature representing
meadows, and also vegetation such as
ferns and grasses.
So far the only drawback is the lack
of water and the venomous insects
and reptiles. Snakes, horned toads,
tarantulas, ella monsters, centipedes
and scorpions are as plentiful as peb-
bles and verifes the legend that the
rich Spanish mine buried near the
Superstition was not only filled up but
the country strewn with these monsters
and dangerous reptiles and insects as a
further safe guard against the ravages
of the white men. These miners sleep
on cots however and work away.

FOR THE DEFENSE OF LONDON
Works Which VIII Render Chatham Mil

works winch Will RENDER Chatham MIL
itary Depots Invulnerable.
The British war department has
made arrangements for having the
works in connection with the fortifca-
lions at Chatham considerably ad-
vanced during the current year. The
past have been under consideration in
the vicinity of Midway are intended
for the defense of the dockyard and
naval arsenal and the military depots
at Chatham and also of the approaches
to London. The expenditure has al
ready reached total of many thou
sands of pounds, and according to the
st. James Gazette it is estimated that
a further outlay of between 100000
and $150,O00 will be necessary before
the works are completed. Of this sum
it is expected that $4,000 will be ex-
pended during the coming year-S45,-
900 on the eastern defenses and $25, 900
on Darland fort. In both of these
cases there has been large increase
in the amount of the original estimates.
It was anticipated that the works in
connection with the eastern defenses
would cost $4sO,oOO, but owing to the
substitution of civil for convict labor
that sum has been raised to $3.50, OOO.
The original estimate for the construc-
ton of Darland fort-$sO, OOO-was
also found insufficient, but up to the
present time the actual expenditure on
this particular fort has been only about
$4,000. When the system of fortifca-
ton is complete Chatham will be we'll
nigh invulnerable both by land and
water.

Turkish Superstitions.

If pair of scissors are left on a
table open it is sign of quarrel. If
they fall upon the floor and stick up it
means a visit, and if an apple or other
fruit falls from your hand just as you
are about to put it in your mouth it is
a sign some one envies you. If loaf
or piece of bread falls to the floor it
is sign that some of your relatives
are in want of bread in a strange
place. To bite your tongue signifies
that you are not telling the truth. The
little white spots which come under
the finger nails mean various things,
according to the finger. The right
thumb nail means money earned; the
left, finding money or present. The
first finger means friends, the next en-
emies, the third journeys and the little
one fibs. When an eyelash falls off
and lies on the cheek it means a pres
ent of new gown or other article OF
wearing apparel.

MESA NOTES.

John Maynard was yesterday arrest
ed by Deputy U. s. Marshal John
Standard for selling liquor to the In
dams. 1t has been known for the last
year that Indians haye been getting
liquor from some one in this locality.
He was suspected, but nothing
tangible was found against him until
last week when two Indians were ar
rested by Constable Fellows at Tempe.
They readily told where they got their
liquor. A few days since Constable
Lewis of Mesa also found an Indian
slightly "slung" and on becoming
sober told that he had bought the wine
at Mayhard's place. The officers
counseled together and Deputy U. S.
Marshal Standard was notified. Mr..
Standard employed very ingenious and
at the same time convincing me thod OF
procedure. He took couple of In
dams yesterday morning and sent
them in with money for wine, while he
remained on watch close by. The In
dams soon returned with 8 bottles of
wine, secured from the old man, and
the marshal went in at once and made
the arrest. Maynard is about go
years old and has always been con-
sidered an honest old man. He has
but one son who is driving stage near
Prescott at present.
The meeting appointed for the organi.
cation of the A. 0. F. of A. was held
last night with a fair attendance.
Deputy A. Dewitt Lyons explained the
object of the order. A good time was
had and some fifteen names were
pledged to the order. Another meeting
will be held the fore part of next week
when, if enough candidates present
themselves, an order will be organized

GENERAL GLEANlNGS.

BEER can be retailed at one and
three-quarters of a cent glass and
still give a profit to the seller.
ONE thousand FIVE hundred and thirty
nine liquor shops are owned by one
hundred and seventy-two members of
the house of lords, England, conse-
quently the temperance question
awalxens no enthusiasm there.
FoUR hundred million dollars is spent
annually in the United States Tor the
punishment of criminals. If Massachu-
sets statistics represent the condition
all over the country, eighty-four per
cent of this expense is chargeabie to
strong drink.
THE Bonars of Scotland were saint
ly men and it is interesting to know
that Andrew, perhaps the saintliest of
his house, spending sixty-three of his
eighty three years in the ministry, was
ever an ardent friend of temperance.
Among his last efforts was an appeal
to his countrymen on the "Untrust-
worthiness of Moderate Drinking"
LORD SHAFTEsBURY says in regard to
the importance and usefulness of ten
perance societies: AS / go up and
down through the length and breadth
of England, am more and more con-
WINGED of the Indispensable necessity
for these associations l am satisfied
that, unless they existed, we should be
immersed in sucn an ocean of immoral
ity, violence and sin, as would make
this country ninhabitable.
PROF. SIMPSON. of Edinburgh. at the
session of the meeting of the British
Medical association, relating what he
knew from observation and experience,
said: Two patients came into a fever
ward, and the physician said of one:
"Oh. he's sure to pull through" and at
the bedside of the other he shook his
head. Why? Because the first had no
faint of alcohol in his system, and in
the second the fever was helped by the
alcoholic saturated tissues"
The liquor dealers protective asso-
citation does not always protect the
liquor seller from the evil effects of his
nefarious business. A saloon-keeper at
Leland, ILL.,, was defeated recently in
all the courts in a suit brought by the
widow OF a man who had been killed
by the cars after drinking in his saloon.
The costs of five thousand dollars were
assessed the saloon-keeper, y debt
which the association was supposed to
assume. A mutual deceit is now
charged and suit for ten thousand
dollars damages is entered by the
saloon-keepes.

OLD NEW ORLEANS.
jackson Square and the Creole Quarter Of
Other Days.

Other Days.
Let us turn back to the French mar
ket For there is beautiful, quaint old
Jackson Square, and behind 1t the twin
spires of St Louis cathedral, both of
them just where Bienville stalSed out
the ground for them hundred and
seventy-five years ago. He called the
square land it was so called for more
than century, the Place d'Armes.
The plan was for six streets.to run be-
hind the square parallel with the river
bank, with six crossing them at right
angles on the squares left, and six
others doing the same on its right, the
whole having the levee in front and a
wall of earth and palisades on the other
three sides Certain streets even yet
show by their names where this old
wall and its moat were-Canal street,
Rampant, Esplanade-making what is
still called the "vieux carre," the old
square. This is but a slender fraction
of the present Creole New Orleans
below Canal street, but it Is the old,
the historic Creole quarter; and there
was not much more than this even
when Claiborne, the young Virginian,
was the first governor of the state of
Louisiana, and Andrew Jackson, the
savior of New Orleans, parleyed, in
yonder room whose windows still look
out upon the old square, with La
fitte, the pirate of the Gulf of Mexico,
and accepted his aid to drive back the
British invader. Now the long, thin
city stretches up and down the bends
of its river harbor twelve miles and
more, and promises ere long to have a
quarter of million inhabitants.
just behind the 'vieux carre," and
facing Rampant street midway between
Canal and Esplanade, just as jackson
Square faces the levee, is a piece OF
public ground whose present name of
Congo Square," as somebody says,
'still preserves reminder of its old
barbaric pastimes. For here it is
where the Creoles' slaves, when this
was outside the town gates used to
dance their wild dances, the Bamboula
and the Calinda. Here, for many years,
was Cayetano's circus and many bull
fight. Here is where Parson Jones
preached and where Bras Coupe was
lassoed. George w. Cable, in st. Nich-
