the Idaho Legislature. The docu-
ment bears as its title, "Hrpolt Of tho
Committee on Education on Coun'Sil
Bill No. SO, relating to the taxation
Of dog in Oneida county :"
In tho Coruc;l-Cn Saturday, Dccem-
ber 2&,h, Mr.. Stump of Oneida
county introduced G. B. 3S, lol,t-
ing to the tax,tion of dogs in On i
da county, which was read lSt and
"a times, and referred to commit
tee on Elucation. ,...,. ......
REPORT or THE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. President Your Committee
on EaIcation, TO- wlom WAS referred
Council bill 10. IS, relating to the
taxation Of dogs in Oneida county,
have had, the same under consi lc.a-
tior, and report their opinion The
bill should pas with certain
amendments, the reasons for which
are herein set forth also the charac.
ter of said an ncndments First+-That
tho stunp.tail dogs should DO
exempt from the provisions of this
Act, for good reasons: Iti, conceded
by scientific men that stump tail
dog, %hen Under full headway of TO-
comotion, is still unable TO skilfully
turn corner, being minus the tail,
which serves as the rudGcr to ship
TO enable The craft to steer safely into
the desired haven. This fact, without
elaboration: should appeal;directly to
the sympathics Of the members Of
this Council, that the deficiency of
this beautiful extension Of the vorto-
bral column should be- Considered n
fair offset t, the burden of taxation
placed upon the heads Of moro fortu-
nate dogs. All suggestions to exempt
sun'dogs, aooncr-dog>, or other select
breed Of dogs, from tho provisions of
the bill, should be promptly rcpudia-
ted as impcrtinent, uliess it can be
clearly demonstrated by the gcncralo-
gy - such breeds that the original
type, existed iu such condition as
to justify the inference that in ac-
cera:nce with the theory Of Darwin.
ism said breeds arc approaching that
social and physical condition as will
ultimately result in their having con-
troll Of the ballot box.
1t is Furthermore fact veil known
that the ruling ideas of 4 nation are
often couched in familiar PHRASES,
such as the following: "a negro for
dogs,"," "A poor man for children,'
ga Dutchman for saucr kraut," etc.
ETC., ad inEnium.
Your Committee would therefore,
suggest, by way of aamoni,ion, that
amy attempt to discrininata in lcsis-
tion against the favoritc species of the
"wardS of the nation" might result
in stirring up hornets nest, tn It
nothing Dutthe pres cL &C OF Shcridan's
cavalry could control. Othcr reasons
might be adduced, including the fond
ness OF the great executive head Of
the nation for dogs, but the dclcacy
Of the subject is apparent.
Your Committee would further sug-
gost that all that portion of the bill
relating to male and female dogs be
referred to tho Committee on Mails
and Mail Facilities aud would
furthermore represent, in tho Ian
guagc Of ono of Idaho's most popular
sons, that this is the dog gou'dcst
question your Committee has yet had
to investigate, and would SO recon-.
mend.

SARDIs, Miss, May 9.-Perhaps not the
least of all the causes of unpleasant appre-

the presence and the astonishing ravages
of those furry little "cusses," the caterpil-
lars. They are here and there and every
where, out of doors, on the houses, all over
the houses and in the houses on ones
clothes, in ones clothes, under one's
clothes and all over one. They nave not
only taken possession of houses, trees,
gates and fences, but they have actually
marched in full force and taken full pos
session of the railroad, and so firmly have
they established themselves upon it that a
writ of ejectment would have no more eff
feet toward removing them that the sigh
of n mosquito. They stop the cars every
day, more than once, and though the IRON
horse slaughters them by millions upon
millions, yet they fall back in good order
(the survivors do, and before the next
train appears are sufficiently reinforced to
present a formidable front and offer a de-
termined resistance. Memphis Appeal,
