L. A. Bhksslee, the fotund host of
the Humboldt House. Informs us that
the catfish with which he bias stocked
the Humboldt. were from ten to four.
teen incheg long, and the greatest care
was observed 10 transpIsnting them.
They were brought from Sacramento in
cans msde especially for the purpose,
aud air was injected into the water in
which the fish were kept several times
while on the road. The cans were ta-
ken to slough or arm of the river nels
the Humboldt House, laudsthe tenn
peratnre of the water In the cans gradu-
ally reduced to that of the slough, after
which the fish were set at liberty. Mr..
Blakeslee is of the opinion that the fish
will thrive in the river, aud that in
few years catfish will be plentiful in
the lower Humboldt.

McNahOn's Circular.

We captured it at last. II got out the
day before the election. 1t is big boo,
hoo, over loss OF the public printing, q
fact the editor Of the Tribune did not know
in time for its regular issue, or it says,
this and many other dirty tricks of the
Court House ring would have been ventil-
lated" :"
II hereby confesses that it kept silent as
long as IL got the gut fat, and that the
"many dirty tricks" it kenw Of the ring
were kept in the dark.--So Jim says,
and Jim must be credited with the ssih.
He says our paper is not a party paper and
therefore the Treasurer could not print in
il. From this it seems the National work
ingmens party has no paper in Perry coun-
iy. Our readers know how this is.
The TribHae was untrue to the men on
its own ticket, and in its circular shows
it was helping the Democrats to rob Lent7
and Mautz of their strength by charging
former Democrats with unfaithfulness to
them, while the same game was played al
by the Democrats who were working fol
their Competitors, and it was not only un
true TO them but untTuthful when il say
the PRESS only pretends to be the organ o
the workingmen. The ."tool that elected
Democrats" was not the PRESS but th'
Tribune, and now let IL limp with wound
il inflicted on itself.

A Child Falls Fifty Feet, Eats an Apple,
and Goes to Playing Again.

st. Louis Republican,, Oct. 10.-A most re-
markable accident occurred yesterday af-
ternoon at the Whittier building, corner of
Ashley street and Broadway. About half
past clock child named Ella Peek, less
than two years of age, whose parents occu-
py room No. so, climbed the railing of the
fourth story porch while no one was near
enough to stop her, and after a moment in
heedlass safety fell over the railing head
long 70 the ground. Several persons saw
the child as it shot downwards through fif-
~ feet of space to the alley pavement, and
with one accord they rushed TO the spot,
expecting TO find it crushed and mangled
by the terrible fall. Their surprise can Be
well imagined when it is stated that the
Titled one was found not only to have sus-
tanned no broken bones, but to have retain
ed its consciousness. While all wondered,
it was carried into the house and divested
Of its clothing, the utmost care being OBJ
served to avoid injuring it. Meanwhile,
DR.. Nidelet had been summoned. and on
arriving made q careful examination of the
little patient. The closest scrutiny, how.
ever. failed to bring to light any injury of
a serious nature, ani befor the doctor was
ont of the house the child was eating an
apple and indicated an intention TO return
to play at the earliest opportunity It is
supposed the child's clothing must have
acted as a parachute to break n portion of
the force of the fall

A Rare Instance of Selfdenial.

In the last German war, a captain was
commanded to go foraging. He set out at
the head of his company, going to that sec
ton which was assigned to him. II was 8
secluded valley, where nothing could be
seen save woods. He perceived at the doo1
of an humble cabin an old hermit, with
white beard.
"My father" said the officer, "show me
field where I can forage my horses?"
"Directly," said the hermit.
This good old man, placing himself Al
their head, zecrossed the valley. After {
quarter of an hours march, they found {
beautiful field of barley.
"This is what want" said the captain
"WaIt moment" aaid his conductor
"you shall be satisfied.
They continued to march, and arrived
abaut quarter of a mile further, at anoth
er field of ba riley. The troops immediatel,
dismounted, reaped the grain, placed it up
on their groups, and remounted. The cav
airy officer then said to his guide:
my father you hav made us go to ia
unnecessarily; he first field was better thai

That the people may know what is al med
at by the leaders of the old parties, we
quote from that leading Republican paper
of the counsyy, the Neg York Time, the
following in regard TO that very large class
in this country, sometimes called small
farmers:
at is change Of ownership Of the soil
and the creation of class Of land owners on
the one hand, and of tenant farmers on the
other, something similar. in both cases. to
what has long existed, and now exists in
the older countries of Europe, and similar
also, to a system that is common in our
own state Of California. Those farmers
who are land-poor must sell and become
tenants in place of owners Of tho soil
The boarded, idle capital must be invested
in these lands and turned over to the poor
farmers"

The DEVILS Daughters.

Salt Lake Tribune
Our special correspondent with General
Howard writes that the wounded were fear
fully tortured and mutilated by the Nez
Perces squaws on the Big Hole battle
ground. The soldiers had taken the In.
dian village, but, being overpowered by
numbers, they were obliged TO fall back
nd fight their WY TO position ON thed
side of the mountain which the enemy has
already taken possession of. They had .
desperate encounter, but carried the point,
and Immediately dug trenches with their
trowel bayonets. In the mean time the
wounded had been left on the bottom
by the creek, and while the bucks set fire
to the grass and tried 10 burn the little
band of soldiers out of their trenches, the
squaws mangled and tortured the poor fell
lows who were still alive, but unabl eto
help themselves. The atrocities perpetrate
ed upon the helpless boys in blue by these
she.devils can hardly be realized by any
one unaccustomed to tales of savage bar,
barity. They heated their camas-hooks
red hot, and then thrust them into the
bodies of the wounded; mangled them in
every conceivable manner, and slowly tor
tured them to death in ways known only
to red devils. Early in the action bug
ler, q mere boy, was wounded in both legs.
One of his comrades carried him off the
field and then returned 70 the fight, the
bugler saying that he would rest there a
few minutes and then try and walk off to
place of safety. The Indians got pos.
session of the creek and bottom land, the
squaws discovered. mutilated him and
burned both his eyes out. The boys suf-
ferings can be imagined, and death was
certainly a Welcome relief to him.

The POtatoe Bug-How He Originated
and How He Grow and Eats.

Geo. A. Quincy, in tho Boston Globe.
The pototo bug is native of West. He
originated in the canors of Colorado, and
may be celled an offshoot of that section.
The State is rammed full and loaded down
with them. They formerly lived on wild
plants, but one of them went up to Denver
on little pleasure trip, and at the hotel
there he had some fried potatoes, and they
struck him az about the best thing to quiet
hunger he had ever lighted on He went
home and advised his brethren to go east,
and they simply packed up few collars
and change of clothing and started The
potato bugs dawn on the farmer very rap
idly; he sees his potatoes nicely up, their
green tops reminding him that potatoes in
the fall at a dollar bushel are better than
serpent's tooth or thankless child, and
| he goes to bed dreaming of wealth pouring
IN On him in furr0ws, and the next morn
| ing he visits his field and sees some red
spots on the potato vines, about as big as
| pin heads. He notices that they give
rather genteel look to the leaf In day
or two he sees these rcd drops begin to
grow, and then to crawl, aid in three or
four days he goes out and is SO surprised
at what he sees that you could not pain.

it over one coat with less than a bucket OF
paint. He sees that the potato bug has ar.

all his wife's five hundred friends. He il
there with all his tools and implements Of
labor. He sees bug about as large as tbs
letter g, when it drops from the lips of a
small boy, as he incau.iously sits down or
an adult bull-thistle. He sees this bug
laid of in stripes endwise, like the marks
of gridlron on slice Of broiled liver
He sees that what the bug lacks in size hs
