OUR.LATITUDE.- Mr.J. H. Slater of Boise city.
took a. solar observation at this place last
week, to determine the latitude of Idahoicity. We
learn from him that he has determined the correct
figures by several observations and is certain that
lit is correct. He places Idaho city,in 43 degrees,
46 minutes. This fixes the town few miles fur
Their south than tits laid down on Bancroft's map.
This line extended eastward, runs through Mime
sofa, crossing the Mississippi river near La Crosse
and Sheboygan, Wisconsin thence through the
northern portion of Michigan to Toronto, Canada
West; thence to Ticonderoga, N. Y, through the
White Mountains of New Hampshire to Var
mouth, Maine. That it may be fixed more def
nitely in our minds by points on the Pacific coast
we give the lattu 3e of prominent towns here, de
rived from Bancroft's Almanac, 1868. San Fran

ference is therefore about six Degrees Portland

THE IDAHO SLIDING CLUB.-This famous Club
having mmortalized itself last winter, is prepare
ing to perpetuate its Immortality by Carrying on
anotherrwinter campaign against any andeall other
rivals We observe apple of lumber already on
the ground to be used il repairing and bridging
some holes on the Wall street hill. Mr.. Cody
contributed $25. for the necessary REPAIRS and
otherparties have paid upliberally, and they in>
tend soon to be in readiness to extend challenge
to Centervilie, Placervilles "or any other man.
to meet them uponthe slippery grade, aud conn
pete for the mastery Of the world. The Placer
vile Club, we understand, has already prepared
an immense sleigh, withWhich they expect to run
down everything on. the track. The race last
winter between these two Clubs, at Centerville
was a very exciting episode in the snowy era f
that year, and PROFESSIONALLY the combatants
will have. an, opportunity to fight their battles
over again during this season. Meanwhile we
shall lay back in our chair, and melt our frozen
ink, to be in readiness to make record of as
many broken heads, legs and arms as possible.

WINTER IN Winter announces it's arrf~
val among us with the merry ringing Of sleigh
bells, and the happy shouts of schoolboys reVelng
in the snow drifts. The country now appears
decidedly,wintery but Notwithstanding the snowy
accumulations, thousands of earnest faces are
turned hopefully toward the widespreading clouds,
blessing these frozen children of the skies, and
praying for the coming of more. These snow
banks are laying up stock upon which thousands
of hardy miners will make liberal draughts in the
warm days of Spring. The want of them one year
ago detained hundreds here who otherwiserlong
ago would have made wives and children in sun
nier lands happy with tll9ir coming. Should
these SHOWS continue to accumulate, they will
make lively times in the Boise Basin in the
Spring.

Your WAsHING.-A friend suggests to US that
some good can be accomplished by reminding the
public that there are many families in this vicinity
u INDECENT circumstances, who would be glad to
receive work by which they can support them
selves and children. Several of these families
have received material assistance from the lmmi-
grant Relief Society. Most of these are widows.
or women whose husbands or fathers, have been
disabled from labor by accident or sickness
There are quite a, number of Cinnamon now IN
town who do much of the washing for the hotels,
and bachelor residents. These Cinnamon are all
very well in their own way, but they are sadly IN
the way of these poor women who would gladly
place themselves beyond the necessity of asking
relief from their neighbors, if they could get this
work. Most of these Chinamen are in good ciT
cumstances, and are g sailing away their money
for future use in China. The poor women who are
anxiously looking around for their. daily bread,
have certainly greater claims for work and relief
than these Cinnamon. Bachelors !. show your
chivalry by acking up your clothes and sending
them to some Of these widows and poor women
P. S. The foregoing was not intendedto inclnde
the Chinaman, Tycoon who keeps a little
laundry on Wall street, in which he does the
Idaho washing Of the Boise Statesman. AS /" Ty-
coon's' letters do not show much of man, there
is suspicion afoat that Tycoon is Celestial
female, and therefore entitled to all the washing
she wants. This is probably SANDER; but as
4 Tycoon will be in adverse circumstances in a
short time, he is entitled to the public charity.
But we warn our friends to count their shirts be-
fore they send them there.

A Photograph of Lincoln.


The editor of the Boston Pioneer-a Ger
man Republican paper-confessedly the ablest
of its class in the United States, contains the
following from the pen of its editor, now in
Washington:
Gas for Mr.. Lincoln he has not the least
interest for me. He is, from every ideal view,
a total null-a good n: tured monster, totally
devoid of IDEAS upheld simply by his conceal
ed cunning quality which harmonizes SO
well with his coarseness. Here, in Washing
ton, he has but few friends. All speak of
him with contempt. y + x His love
for show alone would excite my Republican
Indignation. Two caveralists hold continual
guard at his gate, and two infanterists at the
entrance of his door. Mrs. Lincoln, they say,
wants it SO, and to please her, the Republican
President makes lacquays>of a dozen Republi-
can senators every day. Even in Europe no
Prince permits himself such a humbug. Con
gress ought to take hold of this matter. One
of the most prominent politicians in Waihing-
ton told me he heard Mr.. Lincoln say The
best policy is to have no policy at ALL 1 re-
piled Translated into German, that means
it is best to have no principle at all, and as
little sense as possible This is aptly express
ed by our German proverb sHe gets along
by his stupidity And it is very simple for
those who are smarter, make use of him, and
those who are still more stupid aid him."

Bs- Mansfeld's Dispensatory says that
most of the Sarsaparilla of the shops is inert
and worthless. DR.. Aver in his writings on
this drug states that not only is it inert as
found in the shops, but So also are most of
the preparations from it, or bearing its name.
He shows, however, that this fact arises from
the use of worthless varieties, or unskilful
preparations by incompetent men that the
true Medical Sarsaparilla (Sarza Smilax off,

bud, is one of the most ~efeetual Alternatives
we possess. Combined with other substances
