, AThrilling Ride For Lille.

From the Idaho Avalanche. ur rl
Andy Baker arrived here on Saturday
evening with the mail. BE furnishes fur
Their particulars Of the death OF George
McCuthap, the driver, at the hands Of the
savages. When he saw the band Of In
diane making toward him, he wheeled
round in an instant and put his horses in
the direction Of Dry Creek. II was a
race for life. Although the horses were
the best stock on the road, IL could not
be expected that they would maintain
the ascendepcy In speed with such heavy
load 10 pull and the savages pursuing
them on horseback. But the driver and
his passenger, knowing the fate that Was
in store for them II they fell into savage
hands, pushed along for few minutes
at 4 lightning rate. The bullets oil the
pursuing savages were vhizzing around
them thick and fast, but they needed them
not. They were APPALLED,, however, at the
fact that the distance was gradually les
SEEMING between the pursuers md the pur.
sued, but 10 this dire emergency their
coolness did not desert them. The de-
moniac yells Of the savages were now
heard close to their rear. The distance
sped over was about three miles, and
then began new phase OF the struggle
for life. II WIS but the work Of an in
slant for driver and passenger toiump
from The stage and cut loose the leaders.
This they did, and each man mounting
horse sped onward, leaving the stage and
the other two horses behind them. They
now seemed ::inta fair way to escape.
The sayages kept right on after them,
seeming not Satisfied with the booty that
had been left them. About two miles
had been made when the unlocked for &c.
cident occurred. The horses were still
carving all their harness, and, being
thus encountered, the one ridden by the
driver stumbled and fell. BE did not
drag the other horse down With him, al;
though the horses were still connected
with The harness as when attached to the
wagon. The horse ridden BY young Ham.
iltou detached himself, and be was left
10 keep up the race alone. Poor MeCu
than had not time to get his horse up and
mount him. The savages were already
upon him, and Immediately began their
brutal and torturing work, killing him
by slow process and mutilating his body.
One OF his eyes was gouged4 out. The
fsnds fook his watch riHed his pockets
and left the dis6gured body near by. The
mail sacks on the stage were subsequent
IL cut open and their contents either ap-
propriaied OF destroyed. Hamilton wa
pursued q short distance, but the chase
was given up. He ran his horse several
miles further, taking to the sage brush.
When opposite Dry Creek the animal
sank from exhaustion. Hamilton made
his way on foot to the Dry Creek station,
GOT fresh horse and be and the stock ten.
der started on, warning the few settlers
along the road Of the impending danger.

Who viii Care For Me Now7

That appropriate and beautiful old bal
lad, "Who will care for Mother, Now :"
has been superseded in the times in which
we now live. We frequently see wo-
men struggling along, cut off as they are
from many of the more remuuerntive
occupations that are mUnOpolized by
the lords Of creation, and honestly
maintaining one, two, three or half dozen
children, paying all debts incurred, and
with scarcely a murmur Of complaint
On the other hand we see thousands of
able bodied men tramping over the coun-
try begging their living, while thousands
OF others are seeking the store boxes on the
shady side of the village and city street
I'm jdest marit always seeks the shaded.
from where they heap imprecations upon
the government and all parties who will
not legislate money into their pockets
"IIow dost thou like the picture?" Is it
not pitiable one? "'ris true, It's pity
It's true"
In this train of thought we commend
the subioined paragraph from letter OF
Mrs SwfssHELM to the Chicago Tribune:
"If workmen refuse to recognize and be
governed by the laws of nature, which
bind men together us opposites, the COM
plencnls Of each other, they must suffer
The consequences. He is the workingmen's
true friend who says to each one, paddle
your own canoe" All this twaddle about
tnking care Of them, as il they were n flock
of tame pigeons, is an insult. 1t is bad
enough to be woman and have men
make spheres like toy balloons, and put
one IN to stay, bnt il must be worse to be
a man and have to he taken care OF like
Il little plaster Paris Samuel saying his
prayers. A human biped with beard
must feel nice to have political economists
discuss him as ii he were one OF n thousand
bags OF wheat 10 be disposed OF to the best
advantage. Pears to me, ii / were n man,
with all the waste cabins and idle fields ia
this country before me, should save
Agitation Committees and ex Secretaries
the trouble of talking about NE; for ii
did not raise my own pork and BEANS it

like that Of a pitcher, to allow the dis.
charge Of the water. The jar is supplied
with water from tube which reaches
nearly to the bottom, aud by this means
there is constantly an active current from
the bottom toward the top. The advan-
tago is that the uniecundaled eggs are car
ried to the surface, and with the waste

BILE. THIS very same work Of separating

The best means for securing good
roads, at the least expense, has been a
question OF interest for many ages past
The latest invention, or improvement, If
sueA it can be called, is termed iron roads.
They are made by laying down parallel
bands of ireE about ten inches wide each,
for vehicles TO run on. Each band has its
Hangers to keep the wheel from running
of. Two tracks are contradictions on
each side of the road to aeeo5E modate
travel each way. The bands are kept is
place by being spiked to posts and string
ers. The space between the bands. used
by horses, is graveled. 1t is estimated
that such roads will cost about $1,000 per
mile.
