UAITEE DYING. - Mr.. Bledsoe, the ex~
!, p'SSnan, informs us that along the line of
'ue road to Boise the cattle are perishing by
uuodreds In Grand Ronde and Powder
"''er Valleys the winter has been terribly
severe, and as a consequence the mortality
'u0Og the stock has been very great. Some
V'nerS of trains will lose every head they
u''e, and all will suffer more or less. In one
pace our informant counted fourteen head
VI dead oxen, and similar sights were COM
I0n occurrence. In this Valley, as yet,
'uere has been but few deaths. As rule,
Our stock owners are abundantly supplied
y, with feed, and hence they are likely to get
HtliTNOugh HiN the winter with small loss. Cattle
Slll " most likely command high prices in the
opnng, and amply repay for any present
outlay or extra exertion on the part of owners.

DR. BREcKISRIDGE on TIE SUFFRAGE QUESTION
Rev. DR.. Breckinridge of Kentucky, who has
done such valuable service to the Union cause
during the war, and has sustained emaaci-
patton as war measure, objects to negro
suffrage, as is natural enough in an old and
conservative Kentuckian. He said in recent
speech
That any State, left to itself, will ever bsstow
suffrage on mass of slaves of a different race
suddenly set free by paramount authority, and
nearly equal in number to the rest Of its inhabi-
tants, is an event that will hardly be witnessed
in this world That in any State where slavery
never existed, or where it has long ceased to
exist, white race, both cultivated and predom-
inant, will ever give suffrage of its own accord
to "A black race, resident with it, equal to itself
in number and greatly beneath it in civilization
is an event contrary to the common judgment of
mankind, and wholly improbable in itself Nor
if the relative position of the parties was e1-
actly reversed would the result be different
Because the instincts Of mankind are more per-
manent by far than the capricesN of enthusiasm
and wiser by far than the extreme conclusions
OF deiusive theories or of party spirit. Secured
in the great gift Of freedom, protected in the
rights Of person and the rights of property, four
million slaves of a different race will have re-
ceived--if God continues to smile on our en-
deaVOrs-an iustallment of blessings indefinitely
rich. Let these blessings be enjoyed and i'm
proved not wasted aud riSked in the agita1
uOn Of demands which have no foundation in
reason, in experience, or in public necessity, and
Uhich are attended with many perils and no hope
yt true success.

Base Ball.

This healthful game promises to be the
favOrite recreation among young men and
BOYS this season, az it was last Those
who DO not understand the game and de-
sire to learn, may derive some instruction
from the following which is copied from the
Brooklyn Eagle;
The game Is great inven iDn. Il is
easily understood. All you have TO do Is
to keep your eye on the ball.
Ii Is all about tie ball
They also use bat The bat is club
built on the model Of the club Barnum kill
ed Captain Cook with.
This is why the organization IS called 4
club.
one fellow takes club and stands on a
line, aud another stands i'm front Of him
and fires tie ball at him.
The ball flies IN the other direction.
The first fellow drops the bat as though
he was scared and runs ike pickpOcket
with an VI. p. after him.
Several fellows run after the bail: some
body catches it and fires II at somebody
else, when the chap who had the club stops
running.
Another fellow then takes the club. and
the same man who i called pitcher,
pitches on him, fires the ball at him. aud
he hits back. knocks the ball, drops his
club and cuts bis stick for the first base
Halfa dozen fellows out on picket duty
scramble for the ball.
One reliable B. 3. i posted behind The
club man, in case the club man misses the
ball. 70 see that IL don't 80 by and hit the
Umpire.
When one side IS out the other side goes
in, and when both sides are out it is called
innings.
II Is quite an intelligent game depending
entirely 0n the use ct your legs The first
principle Of the game : running.
When you are " in y0u run away from
the ball; when YOU are " out " you run AZ
ter To-.
II * splendid exercise; keeps you 20
warm; consequently l. always played 10 the
sumner time.
