The SPIRIT OF THE AGE.-The Helena
Herald of the 23d, ult., relates the.sub-
joined:
In one Of the recent interviews with the
Teton Sioux, the most powerful and hos
tile band of that nation of Red Men,
Special Indian Agent Simmons discussed
the Northern Pacific Railroad project
and endeavored to prepare the Indians tc
accept the irresistible westward advance
Of the road, and to peaceably submit tc
its construction through the country oc-
cupied by them.
Black Moon, the head Chief and orator
objected and stoutly insisted, for time
that the construction Of the road must be
stopped.
The Agent asked Black Moon if he
could stop the Missouri running down
stream.
The Chief reflected moment and then
answered
"No but the Great Spirit made the
river, and no man can turn its course"
" Very good" said the Agent, "now
this great railroad that tell you of i.
being run straight westacros the prairies
and over the mountains by the Spirit 0,
the Age, and, next to the Great Spirit
this spirit | tell you of is the most power
ful moving force in the world, and it will
move the great iron horse right ahead,
in spite of rivers, mountains, Indians, OF
any other puny obstacles that come in
its way !"
Black Moon thereupon, it is said, had
change of heart" and acknowledged
that, though a big Chief and a great ora.
tor, and at the head of many warriors, he
had no business to think of fighting q
spirit like that whose name he had Just
heard, and Of whose power he had but
that moment been informed.

BABIES RIGHTS.

Remember, as the go-cart moves, that
we babies have wrongs to be rcdressed.
There's no numerating them. The notion
that we are born tired and must be slowed
away in an old cradle and rocked to sleep
is false. Babies are born hungry and
need the breast, that's what's the mat
ter" Sleep, we admit, is bully for little
babies, but sleep on an empty stomach
we'll, you know how it is yourself"
Baby is clawed out of the cradle and
washed with cold water; Il do wonder
who invented washing babies with cold
water p held before the stove to dry /;
mother turns to get something and baby's
feet are brought in contact with the hot
stove mother spanks baby for crying ;
says baby's cross. Slowed away in the
the cradle again, pin jabs baby for an
hour mother pokes a sucking bottle at
baby baby still cries, of course then
baby has the collie; baby's nose is held
and spoonful of castor oil admins
stead Of bed for baby alone, baby is
squeezed in between father and mother.
Pulls fathers whiskers and scratches his
face, just little bit old man spanks
baby baby goes to mother for protection
gets the breast to stop its crying ; still
mad with father, baby bites mother and
is spanked again +; baby has no friends
and sobs itself to sleep.
Taken to Baby Show-mother talks
scandal with the old women, and makes
love to the young men baby is neglected
and cries ; fails to get the premium ; COM
mittee says baby's too red in the face.
Taken to Church or Theater-gets cold
and cries /; old bachelor says, " What a
dreadful cross young un how I'd like to
murder it,"
By-and-byc baby begins to crawl old
gent tramps on its fingers baby cries ;
"Oh, that dreadful, cross young one-al-
ways under my feet"
Baby wants reform in his management.
Baby intends to bawl until he gets his
rights. Castor oil, sucking bottles and
spanking, baby demands shall be abolish
ed. Baby. demands the right TO poke his
finger in the lighted candle without re-
strction to be placed twice a-day at the
window, so baby can see what's going on
outside.
In the coming Presidential contest baby
must and will be heard. Baby's Party is
II separate and Independent organization
baby don't intend to affiliate with any
party. Baby nominates

WooL.-The history of the growth of
wool, says Vermont journal, is very
curious. Fifty years ago not n pound of
fine wool was grown in the United States,
in Great Britain, or in any other country
except Spain. In 1875 small flock was
sent to the Elector of Saxony as great
present from the King of Spain, whence
came the entire product of Saxon wool,
now of such immense value. In 1863,
during the invasion of Spain by the
French, some of the valuable crown
flocks were sold to raise money. The
American Consul, Jarvis, at Lisbon, pur-
chased | 400 head and sent them to this
country. A portion of this pure and un-
mixed Merino flock is still to be found in
Vermont at this time. Such was the or
igin of the immense flock of fine wool
sheep in the United States at the present
time.

DID you hear of that chap who attended
the sale of a hotel, recently, in town IN
Ohio ? lie hadn't cent in his pocket,
but he stood up and bid boldly, " Twen-
ty-eight thousand dollars" 1t was knock
ed down to him, and when the question
was asked, "Who is the purchaser -
this audacious scamp replied The Penn
sylvania Railroad" OF course, he was
not in person required to put up the
money from an imperial buyer like that,
whereby he was able, in the course of a
couple of days, to sell the whole to another
party for S35 900, and clear the remain
ing 1000.

HUMBOLDT NEws.-From the Signal
of last week we CLEAN the following in
tclligence: THE Humboldt Butte Pc
trolium Company is about to disncorpo-
ratc,..~> THERE are p School Districts
and . school houses in Humboldt county,
and 1,712 children between and l5 years
of nge.....THE SjgnoL runs the name of
Ulysses S. Grant to the masthead as its
choice for President.....AMoNG the list
of Grand JurOTs recently drawn we notice
the names of Thos. Middleton and John
II. Young, former Trinitarians.....IN Is an
article urging the people Of Humboldt
county to build the wagOn-road, mention
ed last week, to connect with the railroad
in Mendocino, Gordon thus refers to the
building of the Weayervile and Shasta
Wagon Road Fifteen years ago the
people of WeayerYile and vicinity took
the necessary steps to build a road which
would place them in wagon communica-
tion with Shasta and the Sacramento
Valley. Twenty eight miles Of road
were built, costing as many or more thou
sands of dollars. At that time Weaver
Vile had less than half the population,
and less than one-lourth the taxable prop
erty that Eureka now has. As we have
said, the twenty eight miles of road cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000. Two
mountains had to be crossed-almost the
entire distance graded-much Of it thro'
q granite formation which added greatly
TO the anticipated expense Of building
And incredible as it may seem, no less
than eighty-four bridges had to be built
on the twelve miles Of road between
Trinity river and the summit Of Trinity
mountain"

AN UNREPORTED CoNvERsATIoN.-
The Hartford, Conn.,, Courant, of late
date, has the following: During the
Grand Duke Alexis walk through the
Bridgeport cartridge factory, the other
day, he pointed to several workingmen,
and inquired of Governor Jewell, "Are
these men what you call the common
people ?" The Governor replied that
they were fair specimen of the working
classes in this country. But do you
mean to say that these get into official
position ?" further asked the imperial
scion. Perhaps not these men," re-
joined Governor Jewell "but men of
their class do; they are educated men.
most of thenl-that is they can all prob
ably read and write, and most of them
take the newspapers" "Do you know
of any cases where such men have actual
ly been elected to Office ?" again queried
the curious Alexis. 'Oh, certainly" the
Governor said, " myself worked in the
shop as tanner till | was twenty wears
OF age" and the announcement seemed
to puzzle the Duke great deal. Here
was the Governor of a State, as we'll
dressed and as we'll appearing as himself,
who had actually worked in shop, and
this man was welcoming him in behalf of
a hundred thousand voters. 1t was more
of an enigma than the boy had ciphered
on previously; but as Ne goes through
the country he will ascertain, upon inquir-
ing, that great many of our public men
have come direct from the workshop. In
Massachusetts, where he is now visiting.
Governor Claain was shoemaker, Sepa-
tor Wilson was cobbler also, and Gen
eral Banks was machinist.

comes from Alabama. Three disguised

this afternoon, under Indictment for mur-

there were manifestations of sympathy
on the part OF the Mormons, but no dis
respect to the court. Hampstead and
Fitch are attorneys for the prisoner.
United States Attorney Bates for the
prosecution. Hampstead moved that the

ground that he was II years Of age, in

clined admitting the prisoner to bail,
but rcmandcd him into the charge Of the
United States Marshal, to hold prisoner
in some dwelling In town. On leaving

ted, and driven u prisoner to his own

of wool from 1876 sheep, which sold for 81
pound, and raised about 100 lambs, most
of which sold the next March at So head.
Mr.. G. says his wool has averaged 90 cents

Selling Farm Products.-Mr. Gregory
long ago adopted the plan of only selling
farm products when he can get paying
prices. In this way he sometimes gets
loaded up so storage is scarce, but comes
out right in the end. a year ago he had a
very large amount of wheat, wool and
beans, but all have been worked off at
satisfactory paying prices. The past fall,
barley went down before he was ready to
thresh, and many farmers sold at low rates;
but before the close of navigation he secured
a good price-the highest paid during the
fall.
