The Band Dance a Success.

ga most enjoyable party" was the
verdict of those who attended the
dance given by the Jackson Band last
Saturday evening in Loves hall. The
ladies, especially, were out in large
numbers, and bedecked with fine raj
ment, presented very attractive ap-
pearance. The music furnished by the
band came in for just praise from the
dancers, and at the conclusion of the
dance many expressed the wish that
the band would soon ''do it again. :"
The receipts were gratifying to the
members of Jackson's excellent musi-
cal organization, sufficient funds being
taken in to buy lot of new music and
meet other necessary expenses.

IN MEMORY OF jim.
All mel in q darkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut away
Through tears that fell like bitter rain,
Our darling little Jim lay that day.
And sweet Ms budding rose,
Lay side by side together,
In hush OF long repose.
Up from tho dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light Of heaven thereon;
And the dear little hands like rose leaves
Dropped from rose, lay still,
Never TO snatch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill.
And out Of the darkened chamber
We went with childless moan,
To the height OF the SinlosS angels
Our little Jim had gone.
The Owens residence is quarantined,
as Miss Jennie Owens is quite ill with
the fever. Her brother, Clarence, who
was taken with it about week ago, is
able to be up though he is not entirely

The new gallows frame, which will
be one of the expensive new improve
ments to the plant of the Gwin mine in
Calaveras county, Cal, effected during
the current year, will be of steel and
100 feet high. This will be the first
steel gallows frame to be erected along
the mother lode, and the highest one.
The highest one at present is that of

twenty stamps to be added to the
eighty now installed, there will be a
sampling mill through which samples
from the face of the drift will be run
daily.

Smells of Cities,

A famous English artist insists that
each city has its own peculiar odor;
that a stranger can smell a city-"the
great, blended odor of the entire city"
There is truth in his remarks. When
a stranger enters Munich, there is a
smell as of many breweries-a pecul-
lar, sweetish, yet pungent odor of malt.
not at all unpleasant to beer drinker.
After day or two the smell is not re-
marked, but after the stranger leaves
the city the smell is distinct in his
memory; it exerts spell; it urges him
to drop his work, to take the next
steamship. We have not been in Mu-
mich for seventeen years, but that sweet
smell haunts US still. Paris has Pc
culiarly individual odor; SO has Lon
don, so has Berlin, SO has Dresden.
Boston no doubt has it's own smell,
which is highly respectable, rather
musty, with a suspicion of old family
cockroaches.

YOUNG GRANTS COLT.
The story of Purchase ThaS

The story of "a Purchase That
Earned the Boy Much Teasing.
When Ulysses s. Grant was small
boy living in Georgetown, o., he want
ed, like most boys, to own horse,
and one particular colt belonging to a
man named Ralston he wished espe-
ciaIly to have. To indulge the boys
taste and buy the colt his father Of
fered Mr.. Ralston 500, but the owner
valued the colt at $25 and refused the
offer. taking the animal home with
him.
AS the hours passed after the little
horse had trotted away with its owner
Ulysses disappointment and eagerness
for possession increased, and he final
ly begged his father to pay the so de-
manded. His father said that $50 was
all the animal was worth, but since
ULYSSES desired it so much he might
go to Mr.. Ralston and offer $40 again.
If, his father added, he could not buy
it for $50, he might offer $3.50, and if
the owner would not let it go for 500 so
he might, in order to obtain it, give $50.
Ulysses therefore mounted a horse
and set out for Mr. Ralston's. He was
at that time probably about eight years
old.
|. When he found the owner, he told
him, Papa says l may offer you $40
for the colt, but if you won't take that
to offer you $22.5O, and if you won't
take that to give you $25."
The eagerness Of the boy to gain the
horse could not brook any barrier. II
is needless to say that he paid $25 and
led the animal home.
Grant said, in writing his memoirs
that the story of this purchase of his
got out in the village and it was Ions
before he heard the last of it. The
schoolboys delighted in teasing hin
about it; schoolboys are very Otter
little barbarians for tOrmenting on'
another, and they did not let Ulysses
forget this one instance when he wa
behind the rest in cleverness.
He kept the horse for several year
and finally sold it for $40, the poo
animal having become blind. Late
he found it taken from the road AM
