Annexation Petition.

teIesteu, we nave printed ana sent GU
to the several precincts of the Northern
counties of Idaho, copies of a petition
annexation to Washington Territory
Much of it is a reprint of the petition
sent forward in 1875, which was Their
SO extensively signed by our citizens
1t makes a slight alteration in bounda
ries, by leaving out all of Aemhi coun
ty and embracing the unorganized dis
trict north which is attached to Nez
Perce county, for county and judicial
purposes. The same causes for annex
alton exist now that existed in 1875
and are set forth in the petition. 9th
ers could have been assigned, such as
the immediate prospect of Washington
becoming state and the gross neglect
of the people of Southern Idaho in sup
plying us with our quota of arms and
ammunition in the time of our greatest
peril, after we had made demand for
them, assigning as reason for this neg
lect that we were too far off from Boise
City the capital Of our territory. Still 9TH
or grievances are imposed upon us from
the south which tend greatly to retard
our growth and prosperity, besides those
enumerated in the petition. The only
objection which our southern brethren
can urge against our wishes are the
modification of their fictitious pride In
having the area of Idaho reduced and
their loss Of tribute which we annually
pay to them, for which we get in return
comparatively no benefits. Not man
in South Idaho, but who knows. if he
knows anything of our isolated position
from the southern counties, and our
proximity to the counties of Eastern
Washington, that every man, woman
and child in North Idaho would be
greatly benefited personally as resi-
dent OF what is now North Idaho,
oy a transfer to the jurisdiction Of
Washington, whether under the form of
state or territorial government. Hence
the greatest good to the people to be
governed is the object sought by the
change, and neither the republican or
democratic party dare admit any other
doctrine under our form of government,
and hence further this annexation oues.
tlon is no party question, nor can it
Justly be made one. Let all sign this
petition without delay, whether or not
their names were attached to any former
petition. This will subserve the object
Of a fresh appeal to Congress for our
rights. Congress has full power to
make the changes even before the con. $
'tltutlon Of Washington including us
within Its boundaries be presented for
ne admission of Washington as state. /

The Russian method of acquiring foreign
languages is more methodical than that OF
any other nation. In the first place a foreign
nurse, usually English, is secured for the ba-
by. The Russians are very careful III choos.
Ing this parsonage, because, rs she is not on
any account to breathe into the infants ears
an accent of pieblan Russ, her speech must
be free from those colloquialisms IN which
ladies like Sairey Camp are apt TO indulge.
When the child is about nine years old for.
Sign playmates are sought for II. During the
summer months the children of the English
and French residents are at premium. 1t
is a regular practice for them 10 spend their
holidays on the estates of Russian nobility.
Beside the pleasure which the trip into the
interior affords them, they mostly return
home laden with presents, and if boy is
sharp enough to be able 10 add little gram
NAUTICAL instruction to his practice as "con-
versatlonist," he may pick up enough pocket
money to last him the remainder OF the
twelve months. Lastly, q tutor or govcrness
is engaged tor the child until it can converse
in foreign language rs freely and fanltlessly
as native. Language masters MAKE fine
living in Russia. In spite of their numbers
English teachers may bc counted by the hun
dreds-they charge high price for their in
structon. and are held IN great esteem by
the Russians, who often retain their services
tor years.

Overland and Other Tea.

English families even on the continent are
steadfast to tea 1t is a necessity. They will
take coffee if you wish, or in addition; but
the urn with the spirit lamp-what the French
call Ia mdchiae-is necessary to the notion OF
q proper breakfast table. The Russians come
next to us in the matter of consumption, but
they are more fastidious. With them 1t is
quality rather than quantity. They have a
dainty palate for the Chinese infusion, ana
drink it deicately out of little egg.shell cups,
favored with lemon juice; for sugar and
cream would be too gross for palaies so fas-
tidious. Their method OF taking it is luxuri-
Gus, and as q luxury they are content to pay
for it. 1t comes to them overland, packed IN
little quarter and half-pound packages, made
up in lead paper, twined and sealed with the
seal of the Chinese exporter, and wrapped In
papers decorated with quaint Japanese flg-
ures, hand painted and in their way quite
works of art. Such tea will be sixteen or
twenty shillings a pound-otten very much
more 1t would be dissertation to let milk or
sugar touch it. The flavor of 1T is quite pc
culiar. We should probably not like it. we
are accustomed to the tea that has had the
benefit-or, at all events, the eXperlence--of q
sea voyage For it is a curious thing that
the voyage tells on it, We know how Ma
deira is priced that has been all round the
world Ii would seem that similar circum-
navigation has an effect similarly beneficial
upon tea \ cargo that has been to England

FIGURIvG THAT PAYs.-Farmers are not
given TO calculating how many grains OF
wheat placed in row would require to circle
the earth, or problems of similar nature,
but little arithmetic of this kind applied
TO more practical subjects is worth the while,
as, for instance, the following: Let two ma
chiues, one cutting four feet wide and the
other five, follow in grain for one day, each
being drawn a distance of "a miles, the for
mer will have cut 2acres, the latter 10 acres.
To cut 100 acres of wheat the former must
travel 200 miles, the latter only l6O. A saw
Ing of 10 miles travel with heavy load at
the end of so long , journey is matter of no
small importance. 1t Is saving, TOO, oil Az

GHANDPA,S SOLILOQUY.

II wasn't so when was young
We used plain language then;
We didn't speak of them galoots,'
When meaning boys or men.
When speaking OF the nice hand.writc
OF Joe, or Tom, or Bill,
We did it plain; we didn't say
Ie"slfngs nasty quill.
And when we saw gal we llhcu,
Who never failed To please,
We called her pretty, neat, ana %oou,
But not "about the cheese
Well. when we met good old friend
We hadn't lately seen,
We greeted him, but didn't say,
Hello, you old sardine,'
The bows sometimes got mad and fit
We smoke of kicks and blows;
But now they "whack him on the snoot,'
And paste him on the nose"
Osce when youth was turned away
From her he loved most dear,
He walked or on his fees-but now
He "crawls off on his car
We used to dance when was young,
And used to call it so;
But now they dsn't-thcy only sling
The light fantastic toe"
or death we spoke in language plain,
That no one could perplex;
Dnt in these days one doesn't die
But "passes in his checks
We praised the man of common sense;
His judgments good, we said;
But how they say, "Well, that old plum,
He's got level head
It's rather sad the children now
Are learning all such talk;
They've learned to "chin" instead OF chat,
And "waltz" instead Of walk.
To little Harry, yesterday
My grandchld, aged two,
| said, "You love grandpa" SaiG he,
You bet your boots | do
The children bowed 70 strangers once;
1t is no longer so;
The little girls, as well as boys,
Now greet you with Hello
O, give me back the good old days,
When both the old and young
Conversed in plain, old fashioned words,
And slang was never "slung."
