The Attacked Train.

A gentleman at Dannack. writing to the
Independent under date OF August 18th,
says: A messenger from Salmon city ar
rived in this place at O'Clock this morn
ing, bringing intelligence OF the murder of
Jesse McCabe, on Lost river. McCabe, in
company with four other men, went out
to meet Joseph Shclton's train of nine
wagons, freighted with goods for McCabe.
and met them and We're encampei for the
night on Lost river. Thirty Indians sur
rounded the train during the night and
opened fire, shooting McCabc, but up to
midnight Of the 18th had not succeeded in
capturing the train or killing more men.
A esscnger reached Salmon city. and a
number of persons left at once for their
relief Capt. Ball also left at O'Clock last
evening with fifty men. The belief Of the
McCabe party is that the Indians are Ncz
Perces. Horse Prairie is almost without
protection. All here hope that Captain
Ball may overtake the Indians.

A Remedy.

Most people who ''fall into flesh:' desire
to reduce their corpulency. The very best
and safest way to get rid of supertluous
fat is to work it off, walk or run it Off:
Ihls may be aided by eating food which
contains a large amount of nitrogen and a
small amount OF carbon. Nitropenous
1000 is that which gives strength, power
to work. as lean meats; carbonaceous
foods are those which make fat. such rs
cheese, potatoes, rice, corn, peas. beans,
tapioca, arrow root, corn starch, milk.
sugar, syrup, and all oily and fat food.
Raw fruit and berries, largely eaten, are
great aids to reducing weight.

legislator. His old habits of indiscriminate advocacy make him seem much binder par tisan than he really is. He brings the tactics and the insincerities of the jury lawyer to bear upon the graver matters of legislation. His evil habit of laboring for victory, not for the right, clings to him in Congress. His un- measured denunciation of worthy opponents, his habitual justification of unworthy friends, and the all prevailing tone of advocacy, show how difficult it is for the mere lawyer to rise into the statesman-a fact long ago noted by shrewd observers in the British parliament. While it would not be fair to charge all the low trickery and all the partisan bitterness of our politics upon the attorney, it must be evil dent that the prominence of the lawyer in American politics has given it many of it's spe- cial characteristics. Its noisy contentiousness, and it's overreaching methods, which have giv- en us so undesirable reputation abroad, are chargeable in great degree to thepersonal pe- culiarities of the lawyer legislator.
