Returned From the War.

IN Saturday about 60 employees
who went across the Lo 10 trail with
Howard, returned to Lewiston with
about 10 animals. They seem glad t.
get back although most of them say
they have had a good aud easy time
save for few days when encountering
cold and storms. They have been well
fed with the substantials of life and
generally have had plenty Of clothing to
keep them comfortable. They give
Howard the credit of making as good
and fall provision for the su<tenance
aud comfort OF his men as coull have
been made under the circumstances.
Blu. on the question Of Towards want

has his own story to tell, and his own
peculiar reasons to assi2n for his opinions
formed from his own peculiar stand
poiut, and conception he then formed of
what might have been done in certain
cases. We would like much to have
each of these men tell his unvarnished
tale to Gu Sherman, or any other old
soldier and then let him as military
man judge of the efficiency IF Howard
as commander of an expedition asains'
hostile Indians Frontiersmen of com
mon intellect. judging from 'hings from
their stand point. aud with the use of
fair amount of common sense are apt to
come to as correct conclusions as MANY
others who have had the advantages of
n good military education but seen but
little service among hostile Indians.
Towards PERSONAL bravery none seem
to question, but Of his skill aud eff
cheney as a commander MANY express
their unqualified condemnation.

It was telegraphed last Winter that
the bill for the extension Of time to
build the N. P. Railroad then before
Congress had proviso for changing
the route through Ida 10. What change
was proposed we have never learned,
having never seen the bill. Since we
aow learn that Efforts are being made
30 have the branch road diverge from
the main line at Wallula instead If the
Pen de'Orille Lake, it leads us To no Ne
that the company contemplate building
along the more direct route via Clear
water. rather than via the circui'ous
route of the Pen de'Orille. The direct
route will be shorter by about l25
miles and the grades easier and with
much better road bed. BY the Clear
water route it will strike the middle
fork Of that stream and follow down to
the Snake, thence down Snake to the
G 'lnn.bia, aud have an easy grade all
the way. Better timber land. will lie
al ing this route aud more accessible in
the mountains. and better agricultural
lands will lie along the route after the
road leaves the mountains on the west
side. The Lo Lo Of the Bitter Root
furnishes good grade to ascend the
su II nit Of the saddle Of that range op
posite II tributary Of the middle fork IF
Clearwater which also furnishes good
gra le to descend to the middle fork
This route crosses the present Neg
Perce reservation, which it is to be
hoped will soon be thing Of the past,
and the lands open for settlement ia
some fern. If the company should H.
cate upon this route aud their grant ot
lands be subject to the limit of s. so
per acre. aud be sold by the govern
ment. the company would be the recipi,
ent 1T. larg revenue from the present
reservation land 30 soon as thrown omen

any other route.

Northern Pacific.

On the 30th ut., an argument was
made before the secretary of the lnterl-
or by Grey, an attorney Of the N. +. X.
r. Co.. in favor Of proposition to
change the route of their branch road
so as to leave the main line at Wal ula.
thence direct to Tacoma. instead of the
present route from Pen de'Orlle Lake
direct to the Sound. IF the proposition
be granted. it will restore TO the public
domain for pre- emption and homestead
entries about FIVE and one half millio,
acres of land. and reserve in lieu there
of about two million acres for the use of
the company. Delegate Jacobs Of
Washington Territory made an argu
ment against the proposition. upon
what grounds We know not.

One of the sensations Of the season has
grown out of the infatuation of a young
woman with Coughlan, the leading actor
ofthe FifthAyenue Theatre. She is heiress
to one Of the largest fortunes in the city
and, unfortunately, is the wife of Ger
man nobleman who met and won her
while serving his country here in diplo-
matte capacity. She is a superb blonde;
her rosy complexion and golden hair set
off by sparkling black eyes. In pros
cenium box she can usually be seen when
the theatre is accessible, apparently UNI
conscious of everybody except the hand
some actor whom she devours with eager
and greedy attention. She learns from
this box to see him, and, when he seems
for the moment to forget her presence, she
utters little appealing cough. Altogether
1t is too much, far too much for the gravity
of respectable New York audience, and
people have begun to throng the theatre
to see play not put down on the bill. It
is said that the handsome actor receives
numerous billets doux from his charming
prosecutor, with boquets and other pres
ents, all ofwhich, like model husband
and virtuous actor, he, of course, hands
to his wife. But one would like to
have the German husbands version of
the affair translated into idomatic En-
glish.-M Y. Cor. Springfield RepubH-.
