Idaho.
A Washington special has the follow
ing relative to the recent murder of
Chinese by Indians in Idaho: "a let
ter from Federal officer in Idaho to a
member of Congress gives the particu-
lars of the last Indian outrage, as fol-
lows: On the evening of the Goth of
February the town of Loon Creek,
Idaho, was attacked by Indians. They
killed five Cinnamon and scalped two,
and mutilated the bodies. No white
men were present, all being at work in
the gulch. Two of the Cinnamon are
here. There is yet one missing. We
sent four white men and six Cinnamon
over. They found and buried the five
Cinnamon. They also found the two
wounded, and one that was not hurt.
The Indians took all the provisions,
consisting of about 500 pounds of sugar,
1000 pounds of -four, and considerable
tea, coffee, and various other articles.
They did not leave house standing in
the town. 1t is said that the Indians
belonged to what are known as the
"Sheep Eaters"

SPENDING MONEY.

I think it is the duty of parents to
allow their children certain sum week
ly for spending money. In one Of the
best families | ever knew, each boy and
girl had little fund of his or her own,
acquired in various ways by the help of
their parents, and if the boys wanted a
knife. letter paper, stamps, or any such
thing. they bought it with a proud sense
of responsibility. If the girls wished a
ribbon, or a magazine, it gave them a
pleasant sense of personality to purchase
for themselves.
And if their mother, in any of her
business transactions, needed some extra
money. they were pleased to be able to
to lend it to her, and she always repaid
it as carefully as if she had borrowed ii
from an outside individual. 1t was
practice as we'll as precept with them to
be not only affectionate, but just to each
|
other.
These children are now nearly al
grown, and are doing business on theil
own account, and the young men are pro
verbal for their exact business habits
their. high sense of honor, and genera
excellence of character; the young WON
en- are held in equal estimation by al
who know them. The happy mothe
when questioned as to how this resul
was brought about says that if it is he
doing, she thinks it was owing to thei
being trained in little things to regar'
others rights as well as their own
Exchange.

WHAT OUR BOYS AND GIRLS
ARE READING.

The hashy newspapers that are sold
upon.
cations that are hawked about more Sc
secretly, are not, however, the whole of
the mischievous reading that falls into
the hands of our boys and girls. The
libraries, the public libraries. the Sun
day school libraries furnish them with
great deal of reading that, as they use
it, is extremely hurtful to them. The
statistics that our librarians give us,
showing the excess of novels over all
other classes of books issued to the pa
irons of the libraries give US food for
rather discouraging reflection. From
the Hartford Public Library one boy
took one hundred and two novels in six
months, and one girl one hundred and
twelve IN the same time. Think of the
condition of those children's minds at
the end of such carnival Of sensations
Even though no books of positively inn
moral character are admitted into the
public libraries, it is clear that the pro-
vision of so much mental excitement
for our young people is doing them great
damage.
The late convention of Librarians in
Boston discussed the matter very earnest.
ly and tried to reach some practical con.
clusions. One radical suggestion was
that city or town has no right to taa
the people for the furnishing Of mere
amusement to anybody, and that there
fore, no fiction that is not clearly educa
tional in its character should find room
upon the shelves of our public libraries
Another proposition was that schoo

BRITISH AGRICULTURE.

The British agricultural returns, which
have just been published, show that the
area under cultivation has increased by
121,O0O acres since 1878 and by 264,-
900 acres since 1877. The total increase
since 1869 is not less then 1857 900
acres, or about the same area as the
whole of Devonshire. A great part of
this increase is apparent only, being due
to more correct returns, but considera-
BILE portion is really land which is being
gradually reclaimed from mountain,
moor or bog. 1t is noticeable, however,
that in Ireland there is slight decrease,
amounting to 5000 acres. The decrease
in ireland in 1873 was $4,000 acres,
and in 1877 nearly 100000 acres. The
arear under wheat in Great Britain IN
1879 was 2,99O,000 acres, a decrease of
32S, 900 acres from the previous year,
or more than l per cent. The wheat
crop in the United Kingdom has now
decreased by nearly million acres, or
one-fourth of its area, since 1869. Bar
ley has partly taken the place of wheat,
showing an increase of 209,0 acres, or
nearly per cent. over 1878. The area
sown with barley this year is 2,932,000
acres; oats now cover 3,99S, 900 acres,
and show steady decline since 1869,
chiefly in Ireland; the acreage of green
crops was 3,554, 900. varying but slight
ly from the average of the last six years

RACHEL's GUITAR.

Many anecdotes are rotated of Rachel's
love of money. At one time she used to
tell her admirers that she was making a
collection of emeralds, who, taking the
hint, hastened to present their offering
to the tragic muse; another time 1t was
rubies, and, finally, sapphires. When
her ingenuity or the generosity Of her
victims was exhausted, jeweler was
sent for, to whom the collection was
sold, and the money more proftably In
vested, though in brilliant shape. The
story Of the guitar is SO amusing, and,
at the same time, authentic. that we
must try and find space for it. The eel
ebrated artist had noticed at the house
of friend guitar of the most respecta-
BILE antiquity. Rachel asked the owner
ha FSad Delh @Pd ggiZag it to her. and
strument was sent off to Raehel's lodg-
ings. A few days after, the guitar ap-

man was charmed and insisted on be-

priceless treasure. After little diff
Guilty he gained the coveted relic for the
trifing sum of $4,000 francs. But. un-
fortunately, the former owner of the
guitar, calling on the count, recognized
the instrument as an old friend and
cruelty told him the circumstances which
led her to part with it. On Rachel al

Orchards have increased in extent, occu-
pying now 5000 acres as compared
with l65, 900 in 1878, and the increase
is likely to continue as the demand for
fruit is increasing and the imports from
abroad have risen from $2,500,000 in
1878 to about S8,750,000 in 1879.
Market gardens also have increased. In
live stock there is a small increase in
the number of agricultural horses in
Great Britain and larger one in brood
mares and unbroken horses. The effect
of the high prices of recent years is shown
by an increase of nearly so per cent. !:
since 1870. The imports of horses from
abroad have somewhat declined of late.

MEMORIES.

When the gray twilight softly spreads
Her robe DER earth and sky;
When the far mountains shaggy heads
Are lost to human eye;
When the tired bird at eve hath sought
Sleep in the tuneless bower;
When the last bee wings hOmeward, fraught
With forage from the flower;
When the dark pinewood dimIy shows
Its deepening tints of green;
When in the west with crimson glows
The sunsets closing scene
watch the glimmering shadows kiss
The threshold ofthe night,
Aud DER my heart soothing bliss
Falls in the waning light.
The grosser thoughts that sternly cling
To lfe's dull sober day
Leave me, as swallows on the wing
Fit from our sight away.
And soft as ripples on the lake,
Within my bosom rise
Halfwhispered yearnings, that awake
A thousand memories
Sweet memories, that only come
To WOO my waking dreams,
When twilight shrouds the woodland dumb,
And slumbers OH the streams
OF faces that loved Of yore,
And songs tho loved ones sang.
And children's voices-heard no more
That through the greenwood rang.

And to my heart belong;
Yet lnger not till repine,
Or sing a sadder song;
But leave me while l still have power
To catch the sunny glow

GRANDFATHER's THANKSGIVING

Grandhther's head is dropping
He mods in his cushioned chair,
While the lirelighrs changeful shadows
Fit DER his snowy hair;
He smiles to himself and mutters
Strange words of other days.
That sound like forgotten echos
or past thanksgiving lays.
The house ia filed with music
or gay thanksgiving cheer,
The children have forgotten
He sits in darkness here.
Nay, not in darkness; somewhere
radiant glory streams
And lights the old mans forehead
With the nimbus OF his dreams;
And shows in mellow radiance
city fair to view,
Still waters and green pastures
And skies of Summer blue.
And there they are all gathered
The friends he misses here
- r'ssy.ss I-ssf,sas ss.S..-H --.s.-sr.fA9
Amid the heavenly cheer.
Yes there is softened splendor
In face he used to know,
With smiles like those of angels
And hair Of golden glow;
The eyes look fondly on him
With gentle, pleading gaze;.
All somehow, they remind him
0fboyhood's wilful ways.
His mother why it's forty,
Nay, fifty years agone
Since she slept in the valley
Beneath grave moss-grown;
Yet here. in youthful blooming
She looks on HIM tonight,
And smiles and beckons to him
In the mystic shadow light.
And this-why little Annie
Comes softly to his side;
It's forty years thanksgiving
Since she became his bride.
Ten years the SHOWS have fallen,
Ten years the roses bloomed
About this little hillock
Where Annie lies entombed.
Back back short years of pleasure,
Back back long years OF pain,
Leave the old man his visions,
They may not come out again;
Leave him his guests-the angels,
His dear ones of the past;
Oft had he dreamed their presence
1t is no dream at last.
The children haste to waken
Their grandsire in his chair,
They missed him from their pleasures
And find HIM sleeping there.
VIII his dream-peopie vanish,
The lovely visions fee?
Nay this was but the vision,
That the reality.

TAKE A FRONT SEAT.

One popularity we have often noticed
among Christian people. If a concert or
lecture is to be given, front seats are
at premium. Nobody, on such an oc-
casion, wants to be poked off into cor
ner by the door. But let it be a social
meeting, instead Of a concert, and it Is
astonishing how modest everybody be-
comes all at once. The further back a
seat, the more desirable it is; and If
there is a bench within two feet of the
door, it is always the first one filled.
Why this should be SO is one of those
profound problems of human nature that
we have not succeeded in solving. A
Pennsylvania pastor-he is Presby-
terian-has hit upon device for over
coming this tendency, that may be worth
imitation. A neat pocket list of pray
er.meeting topics for the year has been
printed, and placed in the hands of every
member of the church; and at frequent
intervals in the list, in conspicuous type.
are the words Take a Front Seat This
though possibly quite as effectual, as a
milder method than one that was tried
few years ago in certain Baptist
church. The pastor had ropes TIED
across the entrance to the pews, except
those in front, and people had to take
front seats or climb over. A temporary
reformation was effected, but when th'
ropes we're removed there was great
backsliding in that congregation -Er

will seem strange when we say that line
drawn from the junction OF the roads above
mentioned direct to Cairo, would run west
erly of the channel Of the Mississippi river
at point Immediately above the city;
but such is the fact.
Thus ihwill be seen that Cairo is merely
southeast from the junction of the roads
above named, and ii is therefore quite as
direct to start the new road in an easterly
direction as it would be 70 start in south
erly direction.
The great advantages Of the new route
are that it is located on ground that is high
and naturally well drained, and that it
avoids entirely the cutting, shifting banks
of the Mississippi river, along which it
would be folly to attempt the building of A
permanent highway. The property within
the city of Cairo, under the present assess
ment OF property bears three fourths of the
cost of building county roads, built with
county taxes, and it is hardly Just to ask the
taxpayers OF the city to build two hieh
water roads across the bottom lands north
Of the city, when one will answer all pur-
poses.
