Oycrr ming bad Habits.

Bad habits are mainly the result of
want Of care or mismanagement on the
part of those taking charge Of the ami
mails. They have no knowledge Of when
they do wrong or when they do right.
They are ignorant Of all before them !;
the past, and present alone are theirs.
1t is an ola and true adage, that "iguor-
ance is blank sheet In which we may
write; while error is a seribbled one,
from which we must fist erase. :"
Erasng bad habits 10 animals, as in
ourselves, is among the most uupleas-
ant l.bors known to him who has charge
Of animal natures. Prevention is much
the easier and safer method. When a
habit has become confirmed, self in.
fcted punishment should be sought for.
When sucl means cannot be adopted
secure enforced obedience, not by whip
ping, and if possible deprive the animal
Of power to return to practice Of the
habit. Many pernicious habits are the
result Of over tasking, and becomes AZ
an end avor of the animal to ostain
rest, shift the burden of the harness
etc. lie. it be born ia mind that train
ing or instruction must precede knowl-
edge. and that the brute has neither
knowledge Of cause, effect, nor ou
hope and reason to stimulate to labor
The labor of the animal is obtained b,
mao's power over him; it is not 20!
untar7 Offering. bet not, then, tha
power be abused. Teach /. instruc
well and carefully, and prove yoursel
worthy the service Of well trained
noble animal

Special Honor.

Every person should cultivate nice
sense Of honor. In hundred different
ways this most fitting adjunct of the true
lady or gentleman is often tried. For in
stasce, Que is the guest of family where
perhaps the domestic machinery does not
run smoothly. There is sorrow n the
house unsnspected by the outer world.
Sometimes it is a dissipated son, whose
conduct is shame aud griefto his pa
rents; sometimes a relative whose eccen-
tricties aad peculiarities are a cloud on
the home. Or, worst Of ALL husband and
wife may not be in accord. and there may
be often bitter words spoken and harsh
recriminaions. In any of these cases the
guest is in honor bound to be blind and
deaf, as far as people without are con.
cerned If gentle word within can dc
any good, IL may be said; but to go forth
aud reveal the shadow OF an unhappy Sc
cret 10 any ore, even yoar nearest friend
| is an act of ndelicaey and m senness al
most unparalleled. Ooee 10 the sacreS
precincts of any home admitted 10 II

and near is sacred trust IL il really

New York, Sept. l4.--A letter from
Gen. Grant from japan, Aug. 7, to
Admiral Ammen, says:

There is no country which | have Wis.

In an address at the laping of the
corner stone Of the new Colorado State
College of Agriculture, Hon. j. G.
Shattuck said: II take the risk of

ant woman of Europe yoked in the
field beside cow, or the galley slave,
driven to exhaustiog labor by deadly
weapons have reached the acme of hu
man dignity. Would it be c'evating
for farmer to go inlo his grain field
to day with his sickle, aud by dint Of
hard work and long days cut and bind
an acre a day. when, with pair Of
horses and self binding reaper lie can
accomplish the same in an hour? The
one is muscle, pure aud simple; the
other is muscle urdcr the control of an
intelligent brain. When man pe.-
forms the labor of an OK, it gives no
more dignity to tn +, man :han to the OK;
but when an OK is forced to do ;nan S

The Spokane Times says:
The gradual increase Of grass shopp rs.
and their slow but persistent ravages in
tho gardens about town, is an unusual
phenomenon. In some gardens they
have destroyed more than half the vcge
tables aud entirely stripped the young
fruit trees.
About year ago, three families Of
Spokane Indians, headed by an intelli
gent and shrcwd siwash known as vii.
liam Three Mountains, renowned their
tribal relations, and taking up land just
below Deep Creek falls, commenced the
work o. farming. Last Spring they
were joined by nine other families, and
all are now prosperipg remarkably.
They have broken and fenced with their
cayuse ponies about fifty acres Of land
and this year have bountiful crops of
grain AMI vegetables. They are also
building vcry credtable log houses,
have made roads, and are now getting
out timbers for school house and
teachers house. Much credit is due
to their surrounding white nelghbors
for the COOL will, assistance and en-,
couragement heartily given them, and

What Constitutes Good Mine.

IT takes moro than hole in the

are three supreme requisites which com

second, that of management whose in
tegrity of purpose cann3t be questioned
and who will operate the mine for the
benefit OF its stockholders and not OF a
ring of directors; third, brains, by
which we mean the wisdom to appre-
ciate the fact that in order for mine
to be intelligently opened and worked

Dnciviiized Races and the Telegraph.

The strongest opposition to tele-
graph line from uncivilized races is al.
ways met with when first erected.
Fear of the strange thing, and jealousy
of territorial encroachment naturally
zcite the savage mind to resent the
innovation; and most construction par.

great trans Australian overland line
recently completed was carried for hun.

Chase and Arrest of the Robbers.

U. s. Marshal Chase and posse came
into town on Thursday evening with
the two men who have leen gagging
and robbing parties in this valley re
Gently. Their first depreciation was at
Middleton, about twenty one miles be,
low this city, where they entered the
store of Schaiuwald & Co. on Sunday
evening, August 80, and gagged aud
bound +. Schainwald and his clerk,
Paul Longdyke. They then robbed
the store and post office of what they
wanted, crossed the river, came up t,
the Government Island, just below this
city and camped in the brush. They
were tracked to this point ly Marshal
Chase, and some Of the goods taken
from the Middleton st,re were found
in that camp. Here it is supposed
they speut the next day. From this
point they baffied the skill Of the track
ers and nothing was heard from them
until the following Thursday night,
when they pounccd down on the Dittoc
ranch. After gagging Mrs. Dittoe aud
Johuny Case they helped themselves to
what they needed and left in the direc-
tion Of Glenn's ferry, on Snake river,
where they cross d. Marshal Chase

to take their trail. One of the parties
went by way Of Glenn's ferry and Mr..
Chase aud others proceeded to the Bru
neau valley. On arriving at the mouth
Of the Bruneau il was dise yverea that
the robbers had come from Glenn's
ferry down the south bank o. Snake
river and gone up the Brnneau valley
towards Duck valley and we're only h
short distance ahead The posse now
secured gu de, and taking Gu, of
cam5 iDto the road near Big springs
entirely ahead Of their game. Then
turning back on the road, keeping q
sharp lookout ahead, they had NOT gone
; very far until they saw two horsemer
coming up meeting them. Now was
tie time for action. Marshal Chase
proceeded to divide his squad, sendinG
two men ahead to conceal tAemseiye:

"Not guilty, but must pay the
costs"

Such is the queer and illogical ver-
dict in the case Of the Commonwealth
Us Peter nerdic, tried in our court last
week.
Seems to us to be very odd way of
vindicating d man and declaring him
innocent before the world, to make him
pay the costs of his own prosecution !;
and it is certainly very glaring defect
in our law practice to allow any jury to
do so. The reasons against such a
mixed verdict are so strong, SO plain
and self-evi6ent tnat the matter can
hardly admit of any argument. If Pc
ter Uerdic was guilty of false pretense,
as charged, why did not the jury say so
and thus vindicate justice and law, and
if he was Innocent why should the costs
be Saddled on him If prosecutors can
not fairly establish the guilt of the par
ties prosecuted they should at least be
required to pay the ordinary costs of
the groundless prosecution. Even
more should be required in such case.
The injured party should in justice be
Unidentified for loss of time and veXa-
tion, for in such q case a prosecution
becomes a persecution.
The verdict in this case shows that
the jury believed Mr.. Herdic guilty,
but were unwilling, from sympathy or
collateral considerations to find him so.

A sad occurrence took place in the death of
Mr.. John Ruhl and his wife within such short
space of time-about two weeks apart. They
were old inhabitants of Brush Valley, near Re
bersburg. Mr.. Ruhl thinking it to be to their
advantage and comfort to spend their remain
ing yeats in Lock Haven, moved there last
May, and now both of them were brought back
as cOrpses and placed in their last resting place
to await the resurrection morn. Mrs Ruhl
was buried last Sunday. A large concourse of
people were assembled to show their respect
and esteem for their friend and neighbor,
Rev. F. Aurand officiated, assisted by Revs.
