The Fat Mems Convention is called to meet
in Lewiston on the 2lst, which is during the
time the Board of Agriculture is in session in
that city. We suppose the Fat men will be
considered as coming under the head of agri-
cultural productions and as such the Board
should not fail to take due notice u their
presence 1t would not perhaps be out OF
place for them to appoint committee on Fat
animals" who should take the matter into con-
sideration and report. We should thus know
the results of the several experiments in feed
method of feeding and all the facts which
went to produce so great IA deposition of adj
ing, the kind, quality and amount of food used
pose matter. Such report might be sug-
gcstive of cannibalism, but it would be highly
interesting and instructive to those jolly old
souls whose corpulency ''lards the lean earth
as they move up and down on its fair surface,
and to those sober visagcd mortals who look
like shadows long drawn out, while we lucky
ones who are neither fat to obesity nor lean
to transparency could look on with compla-
ccncv and congratulate ourselves that we are
not rs others, &c.

WE have received letter from J.
p. Gabriel, who was reported IN the
Los Angeles dispatches some time
since as insane. lie denies the soft
impeachment and AYERS that the
only reason ior the report was that
his wife was taken down with small
nox a short distance from Les An
oeles He went to town for doc
tor ana while there was taken with
a fever which the physicians feared
was smallpox, and to avoid contact
with others he was kept over night
in a small house by himself, ana ID
the morning showing no symptoms
Of the disease he was allowed to 90
home. This he says is the only ba
sis upon which the report Of his In
sanity was manufactured and sem
i abroad by telegraph.
His advice to his friends is to ssa'
in 0wyhee rather than seek ior
better place in California, as be nsi
failed to find one.

TIE Burmeste-Morford case.

IHE Burmeste-M MorfoTd case, IL
would seem,. has been sufficiently
discussed in the papers and by the
people to be allowed to rest, and we
recur to it again with reluctance
only because in the Idaho World of
the 18th we fad an article in answer
10 ours of a former date that appears
to call for comment.
We have now carefully read all
the evidence as published in the
Statesman and weighed it impartial
ly, together with the rulings of the
Court as to its admissibility, and
while we ure no lawyer 70 judge
professionally of the judges posi-
.tions we claim TO have sufficient
common sense to determine as to the
facts proven. We have also read
the Judges charge 10 the jury, as
published in the Chronicle, which,
from the exparte statements OF his
enemies, we were prepared TO find
prejudiced and partial TO the plain
tiffs, and were agreeably disappoiht-
ed to discover that while it was
somewhat verbose for legal docu-
ment it was nevertheless just in
depreciation OF the law in the case
as cited, fair and just alike to plain
tihs and defendant.
Having thus tried the case in oul
own mind, we have come to the fol
lowing conclasisns That the evi
dence shows that Burmester killed
| Morford without sufficient provoca
| ton to render the act justiiiable 0
excusable, and that it was not dom
| in the heat of passion but in coo
blood. We believe further from th'
evidence that in attempting to sho'
collusion between Burmester sn'
Mrs. Morford, or that she was cog
infant of Burmester's intention +
kill Morford, or that she was full.
aware of the extent of his design
upon herself the prosecution utteri
failed.
If these convictions identify u
with ring" or constitute us tn
apologist or eulogist Of Noggle, a

so be it.

A Horse UNDERGoEs ROUGH EX-
pERlEScE. One OF Minear's team
horses fell over the grade during the
binding snow storm of Saturday in
coming rouud Cape Horn this side
of the Oro Fino mine, aad lay for
some hours on his back with his feet
sticking up through the snow. Hla
feet we're seen by the men IRON the
road, but they had so much on their
hands in trying to save the animals
that were still ON their feet, and sup
posing this one already dead he was
thus neglected until the Others were
al out of the drift and on their way
to the stable. Some Of the men
then went to him, and finding him
still alive shoyelsd the snow away
below him until be was able TO get
M and continued to shovel and
tramp until they got him down into
the gulcl, where they cleared off a
nlace for him 10 stand. Here they
hlanketed and fed him and allowed
him to remain until Sunday morning,
as it was by that time late at hlght.
On Sunday morning. several OF the
beys from the stable went up on
horseback, and Notwithstanding ths
snow was still drifting in perfect
clouds and had filed up around the
old hero, he was still alive, and
when the snow was sufficiently beat

WHITE SAGE. The, country, out
side OF the few stock men who keep |
cattle in the region where white
sage abounds, is slow to appreciate
the value of this winter esculent
plant that is found In such mex
haustible quantities on the plains
and foothills adjacent to Snake river
and It's sributaries. The herb APP
pears to have been designed by ma
tnre especially for winter pasturage
when the grasses and other summer
forage are either dried up or inac-
cessible on account of the depth of
the snow. as in summer time ii is
tough and unpalatable, but when
exposed to few white frosts it be-
comes crisp and brittle and in the
absence Of other food would not be
unwelcome proYender for man in an
extremity; besides it stands erect
and discloses its own whereabouts
in any depth Of snow that is likely
to fall in the region where it grows.
The consequence is that this country
is blessed summer and winter with
the hest natural fed beef Of any
other. Cattle grow fat on the grasses
of spring aud summer and remain
so on the sage in winter.
This plant is not, as its name
would indicate, species Of the com
mon black sage or mugwort that is
so abundant throughout the Great
Basin and on the waters of the Co
lumbia, and which is known in
science az the Ariemissid, but has
more the resemblance Of garden
thyme erhysop ofthe Eastern States
I with thicker leaves and bark, which
are extremely giutinous ana fesela'
bic in consistency and taste the slip
perry elm of the Mississippi valley
1t bears a small seed, and unimport
ant as it may seem to those wh'
have given the matter little OF nS
attention, we believe It's cultivation
will in time become an importan
feature Of Western agriculture, an'
, the first to successfully engage
in il will not only enrich himself bu
introduce new and profitable u
dustry that will be of incalculabl
benefit to his race.
White sage, not to speak Of 1t o
! a standing winter pasturage, II hal
vested at the proper time after
= has been exposed to frsst, an
= stacked away for hay, would be s
much superior to clover, oats,
