OUR POSITION. /.

OUR POSITION.
The Signal. in commenting upon ouk defense
OF Hon John Hailey's action with references T.
the memorial Of North Idaho. praying divis
ion Of the Territory. places us in fslse light
It says:
..Our memorial WAS published ct the time II VA
forwarded TO Congress. In the preamble the COM
mjttee set forth tho capacity In which, and the Al
q committee from the people. and not in their In
diyidual capacity Nothing else was ever claimed by
them. The WORLD knew this ut the time. and COM
mented upon the memorial ~ proper"
Admitting that the memorial was published
for we do not now remember whether It was
or not, still we did not know that the memorial
was signed by only eight persons. and did not
" comment upon it - proper" What We did
say about it was this:
MEMoRIAL.-A memorial has been drawn
up and will be presented to the present Con.
eress praying that ~ all that portion Of Idaho
lying north of the 45th parallel. be annexed to
Washington Territory. and much rs we would
dislike to see the Territory severed. we cannot
but own that the reasons urged are every one
sound and truthful. That there il q natural
and almost impassable barrier between the two
sections Of our Territory cannot be successful.
" controverted; and the capital being located
on the south side Of that barrier, of course
works q great Inconvenience to tho people
north of it. We wish it were otherwise; that
tho obstruction to travel could be overcome
and our Territory remain whole; but II this
cannot be done, then. in behalf Of the people
of North Idaho we say let the division be made. v
Now il there is in this sentence which can
be fairly construed into approval Of tho ma"-
mer in which the memorial was gotten up and
signed. We really cannot detect it. It does. to
our mind. approve Of the matter Of the memo
rial, and we intended it should. but not the
manner. Indeed. we took no thought of tho
maaser, believing. and understanding that the
petition had been circulated for signatures.
from what causes We will not attempt to state.
~ the Signal denies that il ever intimated that
it had been circulated. One thing We will
state. and that 10 that it was charged here.
about that time. that the memorial had but
eight signatures. and we dsbeiiev~d the charge.
and paid no respect to it. until it came from
Mr.. HALEY himself Then We had TO regard
it. We have not accused the Signal Of wilfal.
ly misstating or incorporating anything in
the matter. and shalt not until We are cnnvinc-
ed that II 10 conducted upon that principle. and
we ask only fair expression Of opinion and
sentiment oil round In order 10 br cure that
such an expression Of sentiment and opinion
has been had. suppose n petition be circulated
north Of the 45th parallel and see how many
signers can be got That will settle the whole
dispute. except as to the proper line Of divis-
ion. and claiming some familiarity With that
country we hazard guess that the summit b.
tween the Salmon and Payctte rivers. will b.
found. when survey 10 made. not far from

civil rights bill or any measure that provides

was strong. and slavery was thought to be the
permanent social and political condition Of the
African in America, BrOwnlow was the most
offensive and noisy Of pro-slavery men: and he
only abandoned the cause Of slavery after the
events Of the war had clearly foreshadowed it,
downfall Since then he has been the most
lying and inveterste traduoer and slandcrer Of
the helpless people Of the South. Now that

The Yreka Umio1 gives an account of q prob
able murder and arson at Happy Camp, Del
Norte county. California. from which We con.
dense the following: About o'clock on the
morning Of the 26th Of May, the people Of
Happy Camp were aroused by sounds caused
by the explosion Of percussion caps and gun
powder. and rushing into the street found the
store of n. Gasquet on Ere. The fire had not
yet broken out through the walls or roof. but
the interior was q seething mass Of fame.
The door, which was not locked. was pushed
open. but nothing could b. saved. The body
of Michael O'Meara, the clerk. who slept in
tho store. was seen in the Gre, the back Of the
head appearing mangled and bloody, but it
could not be recovered. Mr.. O'Meara was in
the habit of getting up in the aight to got OPT.
um for tho Chinese, and ~ his body was found
Immediately under the shelf on which the OPT.
um was kept. and ~ there was known to be
$500 in coin in the house. none Of which could
Be found, and no traces of the tin boxes con-
tanning tho opium could be found. it is believed
that O'Meara was first murdered BY blow
on the back of the head. when he was in the
act Of taking down box Of opium. with q
steel bar that was found near his body. and the
store robbed and then burned to conceal the
crime.

A Word i'm Defence Of the Old
Bachelors.


How difficult in trying to steer clear
of one extreme to avoid falling the
other.
In my poor Judgment, Miss Brown
and Bessie might justly be compared
to scylla and Charybdis.
| do not agree with Miss Brown in
all she says; but as she has had SO
many darts hurled at her aged breast,
| will spare her, being more "charita-
Bile" than my sisters, though | thank
them for defending our cause with so
much zeal.
Girls, | find only one fault in your
answers to Miss Brown, and that is
with Bessie. / know she willnot care
if l mention it, for | do not intend to
be harsh; only wish to correct mis-
taken idea of hers. She thinks Miss
Brown should have made some excep-
tons. So do /. She too should have
made some, in writing about the "old
bachelors. Bessie, they are not all
the econ temptible lazy things you
call them, but sensible, kind and polished
gentlemen. Altogether, they are more
agreeable to those girls who do not care
to listen to the silly prate and love-
making of the youngsters. (All young
men are included in the class.
Probably you are not acquainted
with any bachelors of my description;
if so, you have my deepest sympathy.
You have no right to send forth
such volley of heated invectives
against this innocent and unoffending
class of men.
They did not write against us. |
think if they were to write at all, it
would be to defend us. At least those
pleasant and sensible ones of whom |
have had occasion to speak, would take
the part of the innocent girls. Those
Of your description, guess would be
too lazy to take either side. So, sister,
would ask for the sake at good ones,
do not be SO harsh next time.
1t being only my intention to defend
this much abused class of men, and
having said quite enough on thesubject,
will drop it, knowing full well have
not done it justice.
Now, it is very probable you girls.
will think | am another "old maid"
out you mistake there. l, like Bessie,
I'm still in my teens, but, unlike her,
I'm in no hurry to enter that state of
perfect bliss" from which there is no
eturn. ] may be an "old maid" the
lord only knows, but it is far prefera-
de to miss match. METER.

THE FARMER FEEDETH ALL.
BY cHAs. q. LELAND.

My lord rides through his palace gate,
My lady sweeps along in state,
The sage thinks long on many thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying;
The minstrel harpeth merrily,
The sailor ploughs the foaming sea,
The huntsman kills the good red deer,
And the soldier wars without cen fear;
But fall TO each aohdte'er befdI,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammereth cherry red the sword,
Priest preacheth pure the Holy Word,
Dame Alice worketh broidery well,
Clerk Richard tales of love can tell,
The tap-wife sells her foaming beer,
Dan Fisher flsheth in the mere,
And courtiers ruffle, strut and shine
While pages bring the gascon wine;
But fall to each sohGte' er befdU
The farmer he mast feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair and high,
Wherever river runneth by,
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done, be here or there,
And we'll man worketh everywhere;
But toork or rest achate'er betdU.
The farmer he must feed then. dU

Too Poor to Take a Paper

Moore, of the Rural New Yorker
was sitting in his office one afternoon
some years ago, when a farmer friend
came in and said Mr.. Moore, l like
your paper, but times are so hard l
cannot pay for it"
is that so, friend Jones? Pm very
sorry to hear that you are so poor; if
you are so hard run l will give you my
paper"
40, no, l can't take it as gift"
well, then, let's see how we can
fix it. You raise chickens, l believe ?"
Yes, few; but they don't bring
anything hardly"
Don't theyi Neither does my pa
per cost anything, hardly. Now, l
have proposition to make to you. 1
will continue your paper, and when
you go home you may select from your
lot one chicken and call her mine.
Take good care of her and bring me
the proceeds, whether in eggs or chick
ems, and we will call it square,"
"All right, brother Moore" and the
fellow chuckled at what he thought
capital bargain. He kept the contract
strictly, and at the end of the year
found that he had paid about four
prices for his paper. He often tells
the joke himset, and he never had the
face to say he was too poor to take
paper since that day.-Modd Farmer.

clined to strike one of "bte girls Of he
period"
/ have very high regard for cold
maids" Some of the truest friends
that have, are of that honorable class.
They possessed many charms in their
youth (and are not destitute of such
now, but were actuated by noble
principles in not marrying. "There

But / am just getting into manhood,
and have peculiar liking for "he
girls of the period" They are the
sweetest and most charming girls of

l would modestly beg leave to sug-
gest to Miss Brown, that she should

an old bachelor. have no doubt but
that l know more of that class than
than she does; and | unhesitatingly
pronounce them the most miserable set

Y ervation, or discrimination the Gin
of the Period takes up the gauntlet
} comes to the front, and stands up a
, the champion of her rights, to BATH
for those peculiar privileges and i'm
munities, which the firmer portion o
mankind of the present, arrogate t.
themselves.
While Miss Tabitha comes dowr
with vehemence, cutting, scathing in
discrinately, upon all who patronize the
frivolities, and superfuities in dress Of
the present day; the Girl Of the Period
unfurls her banner to the breeze, with
the inscription written thereon, "In.
dustry and fashion, " and challenges
her antagonist to combat.
Where are those fast young men Of
the period, whom Miss Tabitha hand
led with gloves off? Have they not
the manliness and moral courage, to
come to the aid of the Girl of the Pc
riod, who is battling SO heroically in
their defense2
The ladies seem to think, that it is
their mission here below, to make con-
quests Of all the hearts they can, and
especially Of one at least; and they
have sagacicity enough to know that a
majority Of men are captivated by gilt.
tering gewgaws, and gorgeously 'paint-
ed butterflies" The common run of
men rarely ever take more than SUI
perfcial view of the Fair" they
scarcely ever look into the secret re-
cesses Of their hearts, and search there
for the more solid and enduring virtues.
This being true men are greatly to
blame for women's fondness for dress.
The ladies try to please the men in
their attire, vice versa; consequently,
both carry fashion to ridiculous ex-
tremes.
Fashion is undoubtedly the most
tyrant in the world she
rules with rod of iron frequently
sacrificing to her satiable ambition, the
health, wealth, peace, comfort and
Of her votaries, and entailing
upon them poverty, misery and wretch
edness. The subject then, is fraught
with an incalculable amount of inter
est to the human family, and is worthy
the attention of the ablest heads of the
land.
| hope your contributors will con-
tinue the discussion Of this topic for
IN indefinite period of time, at least
until they have exhausted the subject,
1or it is both interesting, as well as
sdifying. There is no theme more
inviting or more suitable, the investi-
cation of lady Changers. They may
'e instrumental in bringing about a
evolution in the world Of fashion.
