Darn Or Az IDAHo PlosggR.--We
copy the following from the Walla
Union u the 2sd o. October:
Col. Craig. one Of the pioneers Of
this country, died al Lapwai one
day last wee;l. He Was a native Of
Virginia, and came 10 the mountains
IN 1880, IN the employ Of the Amer
lean Fur Company, and for fifteen
years led the life Of a trader and
irapper. III 1854 he crossed the
mountains and settled at LapWai,
where he has ever since resided. lie
rendered valuable assistance 20 Gov.
Stevens IN making treaties with the
Indians, over whom be lad great in
lnence for good. lie was appointed
at one time by Gov. Stevens 10 po-
sition on his san, with the rank Of
Colonel after which he was APP
pointed Indian Agent at Lapwai,
which position he held q long time
and gave satisfaction, both TO the
Government aud the Indians, aud
has Al different times restrained them
from going 10 war with the whites.
lie was 'proverbial for his generosity
to th0se who needed his bounty and
never allowed the traveller or miner
TO want for nything he could furn-
ish him. But for bis liberality, he
would have been rich. but he has
given away enough to make several
fortunes. For his many noble traits
Of character, and for The many times
he has stayed the hand OF the Indian,
he IL entitled to be remembered by
the people Of this country. as not
only one OF our boldest pioneers,
but ~ one of the best OF friends TO
the human family. While the lndi-
ans among whom be has lived so
long will feel that they haye lost
their best friend and wisest counsel
Tor. the whites of this country will
also realize that they have lost their
early protector, and SO long as his
name h remembered II will be pro-
nounced with respect.

TinRE Is time when the pulse
lies low in the bosom aud beats low
in the veins when the spirit sleeps
which apparently knows no waking,
sleeps In its house OF clay, aud the
windows are shut, the doors hung
ia the invisible Grape Of melancholy;
whcn we with the golden sunshine
pltchy darkness. and wish the fancy
clouds where no clouds be. This IS
IL state Of sickness whore physic may
be thrown to the doge, for We wish
none of Il. What shah raise the
spiritg What shall make the heart
beat music again. aud the pulse
through MI the myriad througed
halls Of life. What shall make the
sun kiss the eastern hills for us with
all his old awakening giadness and
the night overflow with moonlight,
love and flowers Love itself Is the
greatest stinulant the most intoxi-
eating of all, and performs all these
miracles. and Is miracle itself, and
Il not at the drug store, whatever
they say. The counterfeit Is in thu
market. but the winged god is not
money changer, we assure YOU.
Men have tried many things, but
still they ask for slimulaut. Men
try to bury the floating dead OF their
own souls IN the wine cup, but the
corpse rises, We see their faces IN
the bubbles. The intoxieation OF
drink sets the world whirling again,
and the pulses TO playing music, and
the thoughts galloping, but the
clock only runs down sooner, aud
an unnatural stimulant only leaves
the house Il filled with widest rev.
clry, more silent, more sad, more
deserted. There is only one s,imu-
LIANT that never intoxicates--dGiy
F., nuty puts n clear sky over every
maa IN which the Skylark happi-
ness always goes singing. lsYa-

Tue Statesman of Thursday makes
the Helena Gazette say, 1--WE was
very much pleased at the sound and
corrupt position he took in relation
to the jurisdiction OF the courts.
The above fine specimen of conf
position has reference to Judge
Symmes' charge to the Grand Jury
of Lewis y Clark county, and
whether the quotation does the pat
riarch Of the Gazette justice or not
1t is so much like him that we are
inclined to regard it as correct
rendering Of the original. wilkins
of the Gazette is a wheel-horse, as
we once heard him remark.
