with his child. He was "Out of sorts

The east wind blew into bis lungs, and into
his soul, and soured his mind, and soured
hls heart, and so, like base miscreant, as
he was, he vented his bad temper on his

THE BABY Snow.
BY KATE WOODLAND.

"I Nsure my ten little chickens are best,
Mrs. Biddy said, from her downy nest,
II have white, and yellow, and speckled, and
brown.
And top-knot perched on each head for a crown
How c01ning they look, with their little white
l think. Mistress Betty, you'll cay with me,
They're the prettiest babies you erer did see ~
'Just look at my babies" the gray duck cried,
As she led the way to the water side
How proudly each lifts his shining head,
Then dives to the depths Of the sparkling bed;
A hg for the bah les that cannot go
Where the beautiful fish are swimming below:
am sure if you searched the wide world DER
Sucn babies as mine there were never before.
Speaking of babies old Tabitha said.
Come look at nay little ones under the shed;
rive little kltters so cunning and bright,
With the tips of their tails and noses white,
And such beautiful fur and clean little paws,
And so sprightly and graceful; think l have
cause
For saying my kitties are beautiful things
And handsomer far than babies with wings
There is no accounting for peoples taste,''
Said good Mrs. Nan, as her two lambs chased
-, or nipped the clover heads, one by one:
"If / were the Judge of this juvenile show.
Ih two little lammies with ieeces like snow,
And frolicsome gambols, would take the first
Old Brindle stood near. and n quiet smile
Spread over her wrinkled face the while.
She cast a look of deep motherly pride
On the sleek. red bOssy who fed by her side,
. have no fears for Dsy baby" said che;
Good breeding will tell, wherever it be.
And my hrOvn-eyed pet. with her quiet ways,
Any sensible judge will be sure to praise
Lady Lightfopt tossed her head with pride:
" If you're looking for nO6e birth - she cried
Whist offspring here with my own can vie
With his arching neck and his flashing eye
With curling name as black "a SCOT,
With spreading nostris and d ainty foot,
With grace and beauty in every limb.
Fray tell me what can compare with him ~
Dame Betty had gone on that warm Spring day,
To look for eggs in her usual way,
And seeing the strife had stopped to hear
What the mothers said of their little ones dear
When all was concluded and family pride
Had been well defended on every side,
The mothers decided that she should say
Whose baby should bear the prize away
= IT lie hard to tell, my good friends said she,
=" Your babies are all alike pretty to me-"
Mamma, dear mamma" lsping voice cried.
And her own little darling close by her side
pair of blue eyes looked into her own,
And his golden curls in the sunlight shone.
As she caught him up with Joy to her breast,
And said, Il believe my baby is 6est!''

"A Colony OF Insane People.

PROF. GRIESINGER, In his work on Men,
tai Pathology and Therapeutics says
" A colony of the insane bas been formed
In the remarkable Belgian village of Gheel,
in which, for several hundred years past,
lunatics have lived together with the in
habitants, and even resided in their fami-
lies. In former times people frequently
resorted thither to supplicase the aid of
Dymphue, the patron saint of the insane,
although people are seldom In the habit
now Of consulting her oracle. Out of a
population of about 1900, it has from 900
to 900 inhabitants who are insane The
lunatics enjoy an amount of freedom
which never could be permitted them
in an asylum. All who are capa-
BILE of it share in the mechan-
ical or agricultural employments of the
sane. The treatment in the main is very
mild, and restraint is never made use of
without previously consulting physician.
Suicide is rare, and the genersi physical
health so good that in 1899 two of the
patients reached upwards of 100 years of
age Owing to the peculiar situation of
Gheel, escape by the patient ia is difficult
With all its advantages, it has undoubsed
drawbacks. But the experiment at Gheel
has proved that the greater number of the
insane do not require the confinement of
an asylum; that many of them can safely
be trusted with more liberty than those
institutions allow; and that association in
family life Is very beneficial TO many in
sane patients.

THE Statesman, in greed to have us at dis
advantage, picks up small paragraph in last
weeks WORLD, in which we stated the mere
fact that Brigham Young's organ denied the
correctness of the report of the late conversa-
ton between Senator Trumbull of Illinois and
Brigham. as 1t was telegraphed. OF course,
we expressed no opinion in the matter; we
merely gave the statement as it appeared.
But in his eagerness to deny any thing in the
WORLD, Reynolds asserts that the statement
which We copied stated falsehood. 1t stated
the report as telegraphed, was not correct.
Reynolds, to prove his position, calls up as wit
ness "a gentleman Of veracity," who was in
Salt Lake City ct the time; and that gentle
man says, what! Just that which Brigham's
organ stated-that the report as telegraphed
was not correct! Now, Reynolds, you con-
summate ass, haven't you put that big foot of
yours in it! You have corroborated our very
words.

SENATOR WILLIAMS of Oregon arrived al
Boise City on Saturday night, direct from
Washington, whittier he had rushed in great
haste from Oregon to have the military officers
whom Gen. Grant had appointed to supercede
the civil appointees to the Indian Superinten-
dency and Agencies in that State at once re-
moved, and the civil appointees restored, as
the thing is vital to Williams reelection as
Senator next year. Report says he succeeded
in his hasty mission. The Statesman played
capper for the Oregon Senator, who was big
with speech, in order to have the Boise CITY
folks "inrite' him to the delivery of it. At the
request of Gov. Ballard salute was fired at
Fort Boise in honor of Williams.

REYNOLDS AND THE JUDGES.

In the uttcrance of his malicious spleen
REYNOLDS of the Statesman is getting almos
beside himself In late issue he utters q
insnuation to the effect that Judge Kelly,
the First Judicial District Ga Republican, too
has been guilty of great dishonor upon tn
Bench; that he has accepted brides, and grow
rich thereon We have information, also
from n very reliable source, that Reynold
boasts that he has in his possession, printed
and written evidence to show that the presen
Chief Justice of Idaho, Hon. David NOgge
has been guilty of very corrupt and dishones
acts in Wisconsin; and that he, Reynolds, in
tends to publish these proofs against the Chic
Justice in case his Honor shall fail to decide II
the Chinese tax case, and in certain Othe
cases to be tried before him, as ReynOld
wishes all these eases to be decided. Whethe
he purposes to apply similar black mail pres
sure against Judge Lewis, of the Owyhee Dis
trict, we are not informed.
Reynolds last Spring tried to bleed the lead
ing Republicans of the Territory deal more
than they were disposed to be BLEED, and in re
venge he then made sham sale of his paper
to Democrats, to be run as Il Democratic or
gan. But the tlimsy device broke through in
month, and he was forced to take the paper
again under his own name. In revenge he ha,
never since lost opportunity to assall or stab OF
SANDER certain leaders and officials of his par
ty. Before they arrived in Idaho he published
disrespecttul and slanderous paragraphs against
Grants new Territorial appointecs, and rid
culed one or two of them to the iu. measure
of his ability SO TO do.
Furthermore, we have it from one Of the
victims that he played sharper's trick in
" freezing out" the stockholders in the States
man establishment, and in forcing them to sell
their stock at a heavy loss: and that "swin.
ding is mild term to use in charactcrizing
his management of the concern while he was
playing the freeze out game IL obtain posses

rogue has managed 10 accumulate, in his five
years career as editor by black mail, by swim.

become purse-proud and dlctatoriaI, but also

now he not only insists that Judges on the
Bench shall decide cases in accordance with
his wishes, but he threatens, if they do not. 10
blast their reputation and publish them as cor
rnptionlsts and rascals. 1t is not unlikely that.
IN his very desperate aud most outrageous
course, Reynolds will cali down upon himself
