WANTS OWYHEE.

The Elko Chronicle (RadicnD in recent
number, contains political leader replying to
an article in the Elko Independent, stating that
Congress "should +" repeal the Act admitting
Nevada into the Union and reduce the State
to Territorial condition again." from which
we extract the following:
On the other hand, the Republican party of
Nevada not only intend that our State 0rgahi-
cation shall remain intact but ut the next ses-
sion of Congress, by the desire Of Owyhee
county, Idaho, and consent of the Nevada Leg
islature, we expect to extend her northern
boundary to Snake River, and west tar enough
to embrace Jordan Valley within the limits of
Owyhee county, Nevada, thus adding to the
State one of the richest mining countries on
the coast, which, with the valley already men,
toned, with those OF the Bruneau, Catharine
Greek, Sinker Greek and Owyhee River, will
also embrace some of the most valuable agri-
cultural lands. Instead Of contracting its po-
litical power, the Republican party proposes
to expand its growth, its influence and its geo.
graphical limits"
And 80 it appears that our friend Butler is
still determined that Southern Idaho shall Sc
cede from the Territory without consulting the
people OF the Territory. The section of which
Nevada proposes to rob us is, we admit, about
the best portion of our Territory, and would
be valuable acquisition to the sagebrush
State, but the people of Idaho will certainly
enter their protest against the successful ac-
of any such grand larceny
schemes as proposed by the Nevada Radicals.

OF a more modern build, although these
are far from being churches of elegance.
There is one thing that Waldaboro' is
sadly in need of, and that is, an efficient
fire department. The place can only
boast of one hand engine, and that one is
almost useless, being no better in an emer-
gency than common squirt-gun. The
citizens of the village attempted few
years ago to get a measure through. au-
thorizing the town to procure a good en-
ginc, and the young men went so far as to
raise 5000 and offer their service free, pro-
viding such would be done, but no, our
suburban friends who claim a residence in
the town and wanted word to say. came
in, in their strength, and voted the meas
ure down, and this, because knowing that
1t would be of no benefit to themselves,
but be the source of a slight additional
tax. were bound that the villagers should
not have what they couldn't have them
selves. So here the matter rests. The
citizens, to protect themselves rgainst the
ravages of fire, use slated roofs, iron win
dow shutters, fire proof paint, and the
like.
A petition to the Legislature to grant n
charter for the incorporation Of manu-
featuring company is being extensively

made by the valuation commission of the val

her place as one Of the chiefest among our
enterprising cities along the coast of the State,
whose facilities for up country trade or for
ocean passage to Boston and New York or in
manufacturing ability is not surpassed in sit
uation by that of any other Of our Eastern
towns. Things are in the saddle, and increas-

The West is glorious land, and the South

THE FUNDING BILL.

The following are the provisions of the
funding bill as it passed the Senate
1st. The Secretary of the Treasury is
authorized to issue coupon or registered
bonds to an amount not exceeding $780,
600 900, redeemable in ten and payable in
forty years at five per cent. interest, and
he may dispose of them at not less than
their par value for coin, or he may ex-
change them for an equal amount of the
five-twenty bonds.
2nd. He may issue bonds to the amount
of ) 100, ,O00, 900 redeemable in fifteen years
and payable in forty years at four and a
half per cent. interest, and may dispose of
them for coin or other bonds.
3d. He may issue bonds to the amount
of Sl00, 100000 redeemable after twenty
years and payable after forty years, at
four per cent. interest, and may sell them
for coin, United States notes or other OBJ
legations Of the government.
4th The bonds issued under this act
shall be exempt from taxation by national,
state, municipal or local authority.
5th. The Secretary of the Treasury
may appoint agents in the United States
and in Europe to aid in the negotiation of
the bonds. and may advertise them.
9th In order to carry into execution
the provision in the act of 1862 relating to
sinking fund, the sum of Sl50, ,000, 900 is
appropriated annually from the duties
derived from imports to be applied to the
payment of the interest and principal of
the public debt.
9TH. Provides that national banks shall
exchange the bonds which they have de-
posted as security for their circulation, as
they become redeemable, for the new
bonds, making the latter the the basis of
their circulation.
9Th. The amount of circulating notes
of any national bank shall not exceed
eighty per cent. of the bond. deposited for
security.
9. Any banking association organized
or about to be organized under the nation
al currency act which shall buy and de-
posit with the Treasurer of the United
States $50OO0 in amount of these bonds
shall receive circulating notes according
to the terms of the currency acts and with
out respect to the aggregate amount of
circulation prescribed by said acts.
| There are various objections made to
this bill, but upon the whole it is far better
that it become law than nothing be done
in the way of funding the debt. 1t reduces
the rate of interest to a reasonable figure,
provides for the payment of the national
debt, and permits free banking whenever
the necessary capital, $50, 900 is volunteer
ed for such a. purpose. The last men,
toned provision win supply q want for
which there has been loud call, and will
be gladly taken advantage of in many To-
calities which are now doing business
under make-shifts for banks that need

knew something, but she doesn't" She went
on in graphic Beecher style describing their at
tempts to eat those chickens. Henry Ward had
taken off his coat and attempted to carve them
jocosely inquiring If Maine had breed OF India
rubber chickens. He worked so vigorously
that one old biddy few out Of the platter and
nearly out of the window. As might be ex-
pected, Mrs. Stowe had large quantity of
chicken and fixins' left, and when the man in
quired what she would have that day, she
quietly pointed to large pot over the fire,
saying, ''Our people have all gone four miles
down to the bay to a launching, and had to
stay at home to keep the pot boiling, so poor
father Lyman Beechcr) can eat some of those
splendid chickens, selected according to the
book"

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

The Cuban question is growing in
strength with every week that passes.
That the cause of freedom survives in
Cuba in spite of the power brought to
crush it is evidence that it has some vital
itv. and the longer it continues, if it does
nothing more than keep the tieldand show
the same power of resistance which it has
hitherto displayed, the stronger it stands
before the world and the better it may
claim the recognition which 1t seeks.
Time is an element in the case which can
not be overlooked. A mere insurrection
is a short-lived affair, but a contest which
is continued through months and bids fair
to extend through years is something more
than an insurrectlon. An insurreetlon made
by brief excitement dies with the passion
which created it; but long continued
struggle is not born of flash of anger,
but rests upon reason and deep seated
popular convictions and means and is revo-
luton. The reports which come from
Cuba about the operations of the hostile
forces are SO conflicting as to make it inn
possible for US to decide with which side
the advantage rests in the battles report
ed, but the fact that the revolution still
lives after suffering numerous deaths. ac-
cording to Spanish reports, is enough to
trouble its enemies and encourage its
friends, for the continuation of the revolu-
ton for time longer must be its ultimate
success

domestic News.

Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe formerly re-
sided in Brunswick, and was well known to
wide circle of friends. Her masterpiece of
fiction, "Uncle Toms Cabin" was written in
the midst of her domestic duties and house,
hold confusion, surrounded by her children.
She always had time for kind word and a
benevolent act. We are led TO think of this
by a little incident we find narrated in the
Lewiston journal. While residing in b., one
morning Mrs. Stowe told the commissary
of her household that she wished him to
call earlier than usual the next day and bring
Beecher family were to dine with her. Well,
the day came, and so did the man armed and
equipped with various kinds ofmeat, and among
the rest a basket of fowl. Mrs. Stowe came
out examined the stock, and finally decided
she would have dozen chickens for dinner, and
requested the dealer to selectthem. He replied
that he knew nothing about the age of fowls,
though he could pick anything in large meats.
"Well," said Mrs. S, my sister Kate has writ
ten cook book in which are directions for
choosing chickens, so can do it myself" So,
into the house she went, consulted her book,
and proceeded to choose her chickens a la sister
Kate's domestic Cookery" The dealer stood
by, .foully laughing in his sleeve at this fo,ol
proceeding. The bipeds picked were all old
ones The next day the man called as usual for
his orders. Mrs. Stowe surveyed him mo-
ment, then burst out with, "Didn't we sweat
over those chickens? thought my sister Kate
