JACK RABBITs.-The Idah0aJa saws
that Thurman is still capturing the rab-
bits about his farm seven miles below
Boise City. He has three miles of
brush fence built, along which are
placed his traps at points made con-
venient for the pests to jump over, and
when one alights it strikes on a board
which turns on a pivot, and down it
goes, a doomed rabbit into the trap.
The trap resets itself for the next vic
tim. There are seven men employed
to do nothing else but run the traps,
build new ones, etc. The number now
caught averages 400 per day, or about
a thousand pounds of meat, which
goes to fatten two or three hundred
hogs. The hogs seem to thrive on the
meat, the eating of which has no in
furious effect upon them, notwith-
standing, it was asserted that the fir
of the rabbits would clog their stom-
achs, producing inflammation and death.
Mr.. Thurman also saves the ears of
the rabbits, for which there is a
bounty of two cents per pair. One
man is constantly employed in cutting
Off the ears and throwing them into a

Among other things, Senator Grover,
In his speech on the Northern Pacific
railroad bill, said of Portland and Ore
gon as follows: 'The wheat market
of Portland, Oregon, is as good as the
wheat market of Chicago, for the grain
once on board at Portland is not
handled again until it is delivered in
Liverpool, which can be done in less
than four months, with the expense of
simply seamen's wages, costing less
than export rates from Chicago No
grain products grown west of the
mountains will come east by the
Northern Pacific railroad, but they
will go west, and find quicker and
better market. Then we are the near
est point of supply to Japan and
China, who do not produce wheat, but
consume much, and will in future
consume a great deal. l make these
illusions to show that farmers who 90
to Oregon are not going out of the
world, but are going to a new world,
and that there are two sides to this
continent"

A SINGULAR INCIDENT Some few
weeks since, while the Curran Bros.
were engaged in telling a huge giant
of the forest at their camp near Ia
coma, they discovered an eagles nest
In the very topmost branches; but
despite the bold protest of the mother
bird, they proceeded to cut away,
and soon the monster tree came
down with q resounding crash. The
eagles nest proved to contain three
young eagles, two of which We're
large healthy birds, and the third Il
puny, half-starved little thing. One
Of the large ones was killed, how
ever, by the tremendous fall, while
the two others survived the crash.
The two survivors were accordingly
taken to camp to be petted by the
loggers and reared to ea9lehood.
Shortly after this, however, the lar
ger bird turned upon hi- diminutiye
mate one day and deliberately killed
him and proceeded to eat him up.
This is cannbalistic to the letter.

Recent elections in Summerville

publican negroes by large majority,
but as is now becoming usual in such
cases, their candidates were not al

that Russia was enabled, in spite of
the great contest waged by her, to keep
her wheat production fully up to her
old standard. In 1876 she exported

This amount was exceeded 100000
bushels in the following year-that of

diminution of exports through the
Black Sea ports, but the falling of

through the Baltic ports.

The People Against the Demo-

The democrats. says the Providence
Journal. have forced an appeal to the
country. 1t will be heard and it will be
needed 1t is of the same nature as that
which resonnded throughout all the land
in 1861. The attack upon every vital
interest is to-day as menacing, as reckless
and as dangerous as before, save that it is
less honorable than the appeal to arms.
The question has passed beyond the lines
Of party organization. 1t addresses itself
to the citizen as SUCH to his every senti-
ment of loyalty to law. to good order, to
government and the peace and progress
of the nation. That the people are true
to the convictions which upheld the Union,
we firmly believe; that they are sufficient
ly sagacious to perceive the revolutionary
purpose and result, if carried out. of the
measures of the Democrats. is not to be
doubted. While the immediate effect of
this behavior is injurious, and calculated
TO inflict grevious wrong upon all, it will
in the end consolidate all the friends of
good and wise administration in one solid
phalany in opposition to the men and do
ings so obnoxious to all ideas of honorable
dealing. and 50 dangerous to the general
good. All the sacrifices that have been
made, and in which so many Democrats
shared, are not to be nullfied and rem
dered more than useless by faction of
malcontents and revolutionists in Con-
gress. The voice of the people will be
heard in condemnation of this new rebel
lion. and in support of just authority.
This is not Mexico, but the United States,

There is complaint that interest in
Memorial services over the heroes who
sacrificed their lives for the salvation of
the government is much less this wear
than formerly. This is due in part. though
not perhaps entirely, to attempts to OBJ
literate the just distinction between Union
and Confederate soldiers Truly LOYAL
and patriotic citizens have been disguised
so often by toadyism to Southern rebels
and by declarations and orations that
placed the rebel dead on the same platform

formerly did. Whatever the bravery Of

the parlizans who control the movement.
Only four republicans are placed upon the
committee, which consists OF eleven, ana
the democrats upon it with possibly one
exception are of the revolutionary stripe.
A: the first meeting of the committee a
proposition was made to hold secret SEES
sions. 1t would suit the conspirators to
have a star chamber investigation. but
there is so much outside opposition to such
a course that they will scarcely dare at
tempt it.. The demand for an open inves-
tigation, in the light of day, and under the
eye of the public. is too strong to be de
fled. Let all the facts come out as they
are unfolded in the examination. The
people want to see and hear the whole
testimony for themselves. They will not
be satisfied with only such parts OF it as
NAV be filtered through democratic CEN
sorship. This is a matter which concerns
the community too profoundly to be sub
