Inc Severe Stumbling Kelly Received Here
Many good things happened while
Kelly was up here begging for sub.
scrlbers to the Salesman, and the se.
we're snubbings he received were
many. He approached one of our
patrons and asked him to subscribe
Tor his paper. The gentleman an.
swered that he was already taking
the WORLD, which suited him very
well. Kelly tried to persuade him
to discontinue the World and take
the Statesman, paper devoted to the
interests of the good people of Boise
county" But our subscriber couldn't
see it in that light" Then Kelly
paused moment and seemed to be
bordering how to proceed next when
all at once great big grin spread
over his face, and as he tapped the
fellow on the shoulder, his counte-
nance seemed to say, "now | have it."
Now" says Kelly, "Pll just tell you
what to do; just you go down to the
office right away and tell them fellows
to stop your WORLD, and you shall
have the Salesman gratis" and to
make it more emphatic ended up by
giving him a squirt of the left optic.
AT this our subscriber grew indignant
and said he "would rather take the
WORLD and pay for it than have that.
ID Salesman free" We have heard
of several similar instances which
happend while Kelly was making his
tour of the Basin. We always knew
Kelly possessed lots of cheek, but
this is cheeky, more cheeky, most
cheeky.

Wonan,a Waaknaaa far RaanaLs-


The newspapers have chronicled re-
Gently a number Of instances Of great
scoundreis who to forgery, theft, and
general swindling, have added bigamy,
trigamy, even quadrigamy, sometimes
with mercenary object, sometimes from
sheer depravity, tempered with icen-
tiousness. The New York Times feels
called on to remark on the subject: IT
may be that their vicious ambition Is
so ample that they want to wrong
women as well as men, or. that they do
not wish to discriminate against either
sex. Whatever their motive or feeling,
they have stolen and married money
and women without restraint. When
opportunities for robbery were unfayor.
able, they woEld lay siege to some femi-
nine heart, and cause. its surrender in no
time. In most instances, indeed, they
carry women by storm, seeming to rroVe,
what has often been asserted, that the
sex has a natural weakness for soound-
rels. Some of the degenerated fellows
have been handsome, plausible, inter.
esting; but more of them have had
none Of the outward graces which are
presumed to move feminine sensiblities.
They have had nothing to recommend
eA-OAAA S<NSCPe hAAA<AAAAl Du1 LAA4o Adlo DCCA4
sufficient to serve their ramorous purpose.
An interview an hour or two has often
been enough to prevail over damsels,
and even widows, supposed to have been
made shreWd and discerning by past con-
nubial experience. It is extraordinary,
the sentimental success of the irst-elass
rascals Of the country and the day.
When they are arrested and brought to
trial it almost always happens that their
career Of crime reveals a number Of
illegal marriages, commonly consum-
mated under circumstances which, It
might be thought, would frighten any
woman of the least intelligence or prir
denCe from the step proposed. Many
good honest fellows, according to ac-
counts, have a deal of trouble in getting
the women they want; but the deep
dyed, experienced, excessive scoundrels
have no trouble at all in their coniugal
enterprises. Several Of them have
boasted in jails and prisons that they
could marry any woman they chose, and
they seem to have made good their
boast"

The japanese.

Mr.. Augustus Warner. a well-known
publisher of Chicago, thus writes from
Japan:
Il have visited all the principal cities
of Japan-TOkio, Hiogo, OZaka, KiOto,
and Nagasaki. / came to Shanghai only
three DAYS ago, and am already heartily
sick Of China. The Japanese are pleas
ing in their manners, and very cleanly I;
while the Chinese are disagreeabIe, and
yillainOusly dirty. They tell me Shang-
hal is not nearly so bad as most Chinese
cities. but it stinks in every part, and
some travellers claim that they can smell
China at sea as soon as they get within
a hundred miles Of the coast. Even the
shops and stores are offensive. The
cheap things are silks, fans, ivory, and
carvings.
81 like Japan very much. The country
is lovely. Every farm is garden, laid
out and cultivated with as much regu-
-laritv and taste as the finest gardens In
America. The fields are terraced, both
on the plains and up on the hlllsldes,
and so arranged that the whole or any
DSrt can be flooded at any time from
the immense reservoirs. The country
sibsuuds in beautiful rivers, lakes, cas-
eades, and high mountains. There are
fruits and flowers in abundance. Seed
lesssranges, of delicious flavor, are sold
at tthe rate of five for a cent. What the
Japs,dOn't know about farming is hardly
worth knowing. Greeley should have
seen this land before he wrote his book
or ran for president. There is no worn
out territory here, but every Inch OF Il!e
dllable lands is cultivated. There Is
alWays one crop per year. generaily Two,
and sometimessthree. As TINS thlng mas

yeaPE, and the land Is apparently as Tlch
as ever, think the Japanese VIII pass as
farmers.
In sailing from Kobe to Nagasaki we,
passed through the inland sea of Japan.

in length, and filed with thousands Of
islands. nearly all Of which are qplti-
waited. The sea is al ways comparatively
smooth. and dotted with fishing vessels
and seems to the traveller more like q
fairy land than a reality. One voyager

beauty.

Some of the temples and images are
more than thousand years of age, and

Nara was lavished the sum of $2,000,0 600.

Japan is by a jiurlkitha, or large baby

forty thousand of these muscular fellows
in the streets Of Toxic.

Do Fish Sleep 2

The editor Of the Fishing Gazette prof
fers some little testimony bearing upon
the interesting query whether fish sleep
IT is his opinion that the trout sleeps at
lhgAt and, as. proof, he states that,
when entering his ish-house at night IN
summer time he has observed all the
fish in the tanks lying motionless on the
slate bottoms, and has often watched
them thus. for some length Of time
Their slow respiration and analogous
movement oflthe fins indicated a di-
minished action of the heart and state
of rest, similar. to that of ,Ibe human
being in sleep.cs On striking a light while
I lhetish we're iR this ouiescent condition,
they would start as iif scared, and fiy
about Mildly exhibiting the same
alWmed feeling, that man not uncom-
lidhily does when suddenly reused from
profound slumbeEl ,1a.ii.
This evidence refers TO fish in an ar
titicial |slate; but the writer believes
that it applies equally to those which are
wild in their NATIVE waters. "W e may
safely come TO the conclusion" he re
dlhAks, ''tgiat fepose OF the brain, more
or less complete, does exist IN the piscine
world and certainly, the higher the
organization Of the animal, the more
need vs. : shall find for some system of
rest or reputation of the nervous sys-
tenn" The movement Of gills, fins and
ltiiy@llich is ever present in fish, the
writer considers to be as purely the re-
suit of reflex action as that of the beat
ing of the heart; and therefore he re-
CARDS these movements, when the fish is
otherwise still, asno indication that it is
not in the4 state of absolute repose and
Inconsistencies.

q ST wanted to know how the thing was

how to print tie news and, things.p He
watched carefully the process of setting
the type, and thought he could ''larn
that Kinder easy when he jest knew
where. to put his fingers on the letters"
1 informed him that it would take years
to get perfect at it, at which ne laughed
me to scern, and said he could "do it as
fast as you kin after larnin' the places
wherelth letters come from, and that
he could larn. that in half an hour" 1
offered to bet him a V greenback that 1
could filluthe stick three times to his
ronce, atliWhichJ he remarked: "Wal,
lsohhy, I amt got no scrip about jes'
now, but If you will allow this ere timer
to lay along with your iveT, l don't
mind tryih' to take the consate outer

of the above ,lature was effected, and
greeny sDent, one solid half hour farm

when he brofessed to know wh efe every
letter was as weH as 1 did. thanded
him SOME reprint copy, stick and rule,
showed him how to hold the stick, and
we started,. In just seventeen minutes,
amid the open-mouthed wonderment of

Courtesy IN the Street..

Reader, have you ever, in walking
along the street, been hurriedly accosted,
almost rudeIy passed, by q fglepdI Who,
in sdciety, has always BEEN polite and
refined? We know, yqI hayer That
friend simply lacks courtesy, and theFe
is no place where this virtue Is more
needed and shines brighter than oRcthe
street. The.maR who huTriss past and
looks cross lahd kodi, thinks sdchi be1
havlour is business like. OF all other
men, he is the first to. eon1lain oPl
lights and neglects, and TO intimate
that he is net PIpperIY 9PprS Sqiated. The
trouble is, people make change to him in
bis own coin. He shOud eEfclse
courtesy, which is very Cheap, and COM
prehends civility, gentlenessS and rtrqe
politeness. We cannot all be rich or
educated, but everyone can be ,eoqrteo1s
and treat teFefy4bjody civilS; can tecog-
nize persons, however humble in social
position, wherever met, with smile h
gentle word, a nod Of recopitionI a,
wdVe of the hand, or soLn5 other kindly
salhtation. The habitual exercise of
true courtesy in the street is The sUresti
way and the cheapest to make and keep
a multitude of friends. Every reader
win bear us out in saying that it is
impossible for US to feel other than
kindly towards those who manifest an
interest in us, though We have nothing
but d passing aeduaihtance. It. is So
