tbs Salesman of the 18th instant
published long article in reply to the
Idahoan on county printing, in which
it takes its usual course when at a
loss for arguments, of circulating
falsehoods. Kelly's regard for veraci-
ty is SO well known throughout the
Territory that many of his nefarious
talsehoods are not referred to by us.
he says that the Commissioners OF
Boise county send to San Francisco to
Republican Office certain classes OF
work which we are unable to do here.
Such an Infamous lie is looked oTis- by
Our County Commissioners with dis
gust as they, nor any of their prede-
cessors for nine years past, have had
any printing whatever done in San
Francisco, or any other place outside
OF Idaho City. We say nine years
because we have only been acquainted
with their proceedings that long. The
WORLD is as well fixed for doing all
kinds Of work as any Office in the Ter
rltory, and the Commissioners of Boise
county knowing this fact, get all
their work done here. Kelly also in
Inmates that our former Boards gave
this paper the county work TO get po-
lIiical favors. through its columns. As
a whole the Commissioners of Boise
county have been the best men that
cold have been selected, which cannot
De said of those of Ada county, as

ed Dy the ladies to make ] ranort If
the proceedings Of the skating party
wnlcn was SO hastily and stealthily
organized few nights ago. So far
nave succeeded in dissolving myself
''i1o a committee Of one for the afore-
sald purpose. To commence with
tue excitement was started by one OF
1ne spurs or feeders of the Luna
house, who was not long in collect
ing together quite number of ladies
and gentleman, several of whom were
Mr. RotEwelPs pupils. The girls,
who comprised the right wing of the
vanguard, are just the kind we ''go our
pile on" and fatter ourselves that we
are good Judges. The left wing con-
sisted of gentlemen Of all descriptions
some little, squabby, short fellows,
and some long, lean, lank hungry look
ing specimens; but all just as gallant
as could be. Every member of the
company was always ready to lend a
hand in any mischief. The pond be-
ing about two miles out of town. and
the trail very narrow, the ladies
thought best to elect brave captain.
whose duty it was to put out of the
road Cinnamon who might be passing.
The election waxed very hot, as every
girl thought her weakness the brav.
est, and the one that should be hon
ored with the Office, regardless of po-
litical disabilities. The whole affair
would have broken up in a monstrous
row but for the timely proposition of
one of the far-sighted, who moved to
hold caucus, which was agreed to.
AS the question was one of women's
rights, we took no part, but waited
patiently the decision of the aforesaid
caucus. Imagine our profound hor-
ror when they announced no choice,
and the crowd would proceed without
head. This caused considerable un-
pleasantness among the tender ones,
and also produced spasmodic change
in the appearance of the sterner sex.
But it was just as well, as every
Celestial snufed the danger from
afar, and gave the way.
Alasl for poor Yet Hop. A change
came DER the scene. Now Yet Hop
is very poor, emaciated old China
man of not very prepossessing ap-
pearance, and like the rest of his coun-
trymen, has no conscientious scruples
about perpetrating theft whenever
the opportunity presents itself But
nevertheless two wrongs does not
make one right. Now it happened
that this singular individual had sew
eral cords of pitch wood piled up for
use in his claims in the spring. The
thought struck one of the ladies that
no matter how great the crime was
some of that wood must be taken to
build bonfire on the ice, notwith-
standing the well-sustained remon-
strances of the honest knights. 1t
was only for the dear little "critters"
to command and US to obey. The Ia
dies volunteered to carry the skates
so at it we few. Each desi
rous of being uppermost in the estl-
nation of the right wing, we overload
ed ourselves, which was sad mistake.
Two of the party have been laid up
ever since with broken backs, and
came very near making the acquain-
tance of the Coroner. Our attention
was drawn to one poor fellow of the
lightning.rod order, who was wab-
bling under his load like tired top,
and just about to give it up when his
sweetness took in the situation at a

Will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large propor.
ton OF thesprecieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved

actually needless, SO far as UTILITY and

GASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, aDd the SAME SOLIDTY AND

one-half of the usual Gust of solid cases
This process is of the most simple nature.
as follows:-A plate of composition metal,
specially adapted to the purpose. has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip OF heavily plated composition. from
which the cases, backs, centres, bezels
&c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold 10 these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing. engraving aud euameliinp: and
engraved cases have been carried until

A SUBTERRANEAN RIvER.-How many
of the readers OF the Journal are aware
that one of the wonders of Nature may
be seen four miles west OF Swans Prairie
and one mile in the Indian Territory?
Here you will find cave which is per-
feet wonder to the brave adventursr who
will provide himself with the necessary
outfit for exploring the subterranean
cavern of darkness, inhabited by wild
animals and bats in countless thousands.
The necessary outfit consists of good
lights and boat in which to navigate
subterranean river, which, so far as we
know of, has never been traced to its
source. The entrance to the cave is in
grove of tall trees. under the jutting
rocks of a small mountain. Long before
you enter the wood you can hear the
| roaring OF the falling waters, which rush
forth in crystal pureness. far excelling
the noted springs Of Neosho. A short
distance from the cave stands single
Indian cabin. inhabited by Alexander
Zane. of the Wyandotte tribe OF Indians.
To the east and south of his dwelling
stretches out one of the most beautiful
valleys, which would be fortune to
many man if he could have control of
it. Here, in their original grandeur, is
. water-power sufficient to run Touring
mill, valley large and rich enough to
produce the grain to keep the mill going.
For full knowledge of this region you
must see it to appreciate the importance
of this wonder of wonders. Nsosho,
