A MEETING of persons called for the pur-
pose Of forming free thinkers society, held
in Davenport. Iowa. on the 2lst ult. put forth,
says the Chicago Times, the following declara-
ton of principles:
That experience and reason our only sources OF
knowledgc and that therefore deny revelation.
Science and experience show that matter is eternal.
as also the universe. We deny, therefore, any crea.
ton As experience aud reason are the source OF
knowledge they are the source OF true morais'
our duty and aim Is to embelish life by harmony.
A Democratic Republic acknowledge to be the on
lv government worthy Of our humanity, ana, as
freedom is based education, we consider the es-
tabushment of public schools. free to all. to be our
duty The schools shall ignore religious instructaon
The same things have been much more forcloly
declared and set forth great many times both
in this country and Europe. and will therefore
probably fail to startlc any body. One error
they contain, though, not usually found in such
declarations. to.wit: The assertion that sci.
ence teaches that the universe is eternal. Sci
encc teaches only that the matter out OF which
the universe ia formed is eternal. The forms
in which that matter is found are undergoing
continual change, and cannot do otherwise, SO
that the material universe, as we behold 1t
now, will pass to other and it is possible more
symmetrical and perfect forms. But the con-
stitution of matter itself whatever changes OF
forms it assumes will remain unchanged.

IDAHO CITY. THURSDAY. MAY II, 1874.

HE Statesman accuses us of " changing our
oase' in regard to the Oneida county school re-
port affair, and if it suits it to think so we
shall not interpose any very serious objection
thereto, nor take the matter to heart Our
base is to do justice; and we have become con-
vinced by comparing the statements of Captain
Boreland, r. E. Foote, Frank E. Ensign. j. H.
Whitson. G. s. Kingsley and various other gen.
tlemen of intelligence and respectability, that
the case against Mr.. Bulge and his marshals,
If any exists, is not near SO strong as at first
appeared; and as no investigation was had in
to the charge of fraud, it is but in accordance
with well-established rule of civilized law
and justice, to give Mr.. Bulge the benefit Of
whatever doubts exist in relation to his guilt.
What "seqnel" has been vouchsated to the
mind of the Solomon of the Statesman, which
leads him to inquire. whether we intend to play
the "Artful Dodger on the Bishop for the Nor
mon vote this fall" since we are not and never
shall be candidate for any Office in Idaho
Territory, is a question we can only solve by
surmising that he is measuring our corn in
his own bushel," and that he has all the time
been trying to carry water on both shoulders,
in this matter, in order to get that vote for
hinself-a fact which we suspicioned from the
outset. But We oplne the MOrmOns are birds
of too much experience to be caught by such
chaff rs the Statesman has to bait them with.
But if the proofs Of Mr.. Budge's guilt exist
why are they not given to the public' He has
demanded them, and if we had them his de-
mand should be complied with, at the risk Of
losing the Mormon vote next fall. Surely the
Territorial Superintendent's reply is not pos
tive enough to affect anybody's opinion very
profoundly.

THE GREEN OF THE WAvEs.-Nothlng,
saws Prof. Tyndall. can be more superb than
the green of the Atlantic waves when the cir
cumstances are favorable to the exhibition OF
color. As long as wave remains unoroken
no color appears; but when the foam just
a.nhlas over the crest like an Alpine snow
cornice, under the cornice we often see as
play of the most exquisite green. 1t is metal
lie in it's brilliancy. But the foam is necessary
for it's production. The foam is illum'nated'
and Il scatters the light in all directions the
light which passes through the higher portions
&c tho wave alone reaches the eye, and gives to
that norton it's matcbless color. The folding
IF the wave, producing as it does, series OF
!. ,a;na, nrotruberances and burrows, which
act like cylindrical lenses. introduces variations
IN the intensity Of the light, and materially en-
hances it's beauty.

The GIRL OF THE FUTURE.-In her lee
ture on The Girl of the Future" Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton draws picture seemingly
impossible of realization. Her ideal girl is to
differ from the girl of to-day in that she will be
healthy, wealthy and wise. When nine-tenths
Of the wives are invalids, and the number of
girls sent to lunatic asylums increases every
year, it is time to look after the causes Of this
condition; for when the human current sets
toward the hospital and the lunatic asylum, we
may well say, What are we coming TOT In
looking at the paintings and statuary of the Old
World, she had wondered whence came our
idea of the woman form. It is certainly like
nothing in heaven above or the earth beneath
or the waters under the earth. for to the ira
dtional mermaid was vouchsafed more breath
ing power than to the woman of to-day.
When we remember that deep breathing is es-
sential to deep thinking, we see the relation
ship between scholarship and clothes. The ca
dets ut West Point once threw aside their sus-
penders and fastened their garments around

which was unaccountable. When it was sug-
gested that the waist band had somewhat to do
with it, the suspenders were resumed and soon
the disease disappeared.
Artists turn away from the daughters of Ad-
ans and Hancock to copy the Venus and Ma
donnas which were taken from living models
of past age Women affect to dislike small
waists, always declaring when attacked that
their clothing is loose; that they are small natu-
rally; which means that God. by way of max
ing variety in the human species, Tapped the
ribs of the American women. The tight waist
prevents free action of the blood, heart and
lungs, and paralyzes belt of the nerves and
muscles ut least six inches in width. Mrs.
Stanton believes the time will come when we
shall be as much ashamed of headache, scrof
ula, dyspepsia, and pneumonia, as we now are
of committing perjury. theft, burglary. or ar
son. So long as clergymen preach that sick
ness is a dispensation of Divine Providence, SO
long will not our girls feel that sickness is
something nearly allied to guilt.

ORIGIN OF THE DOLLAR MARK.-A
writer in the .4tlantic Monthly has curious
paper on the origin Of the dollar symbol (S).
In brief. his theory is, that the two parallel up
right marks may be traced back to the pillars
of Hercules, and the S-like figure in the scroll
entwined around them. According to ira
dition, when the Tyrian colony landed on the
Atlantic coast of Spain. and founded the an
cient city of Gades, now Cadiz. Melcarthus,
the leader of the expedition, set up two stone
pillars as memorials, over which was built
temple Of Hercules. As the temple increased
in wealth. the stone pillars were replaced by
Others, made of an alloy Of gold and silver, and
these two pillars became, in time, the emblem
of the city, as a horses head became that of
Carthage. Centuries later, when Charles v.
became Emperor of Germany, he adopted q
new coat of arms, in which the pillar of Gades,
or Cadiz, occupied prominent position in the
device Hence, when q new coin, the colon
nato, was struck at the Imperial mint, it bore
the new device-two pillars. with q scroll en-
twined around them This coin became coin
of value in the mediterranean, and the pillars
and scroll became its accepted symbol in
writing. The two horizontal bars which
cross the symbol Of the English pound ster-
ling are also thought to have similar or
igin. In the same paper the symbolic origin of
the pillar of Hercules is traced far back into
the remote era prior to the dispersion OF the
human race from its Asiatic birthplace. They
are identified with the household pillars of the
Scandinavians, and the idea from which the
concrete embodiments spring is to be found
alike in the Sanskrit Vedas and in the glowing
imagery of the Hebrew poets. They are the
symbols of day and night. orlightand darkness,
which, to the dawning intelligence of the Arian
races we're evidences of the Omnipotent, and,
to the Jewish patriarch, the work of revealed
Creator.

PETROLEUM AS A BEvERAGE.-Every one
knows that the districts where grapes are
grown, Of which champagne is made, are not
sufficiently large to produce grapes for fifth
of the annual champagne supply. Four-fifths
of the champagne drunk is therefore quite in.
nocent of any acquaintance with the cham
pagne districts. Much credit may be due to
manufacturers of wine for having discovered
methods whereby decoction or infusion OF
eooseberry, rhubarb, plums. and even OF tur-
uips-with judicious addition Of chemical
Aavorina matter-can be passed off a. cham
paene, or Moselle, or sparkling hook; but We
are not 90 sure that credit is due to the discov-
erer of the method whereby petroleum is made
to do duty as champagne. We are neverthe-
less assured that American mineral oil re6ners
and brokers sell large quantities Of their oil to
champagne makers. It is mechanically mixed
with elycerine, 10 then aerated BY coda water
