The Enterprise hits the bulls eye in the fol-
lowing: Zone of the absurd things growing
out of the attempted assassination of kalloch,
at San francisco, is the attempt of the Social
lists and so called Labor party East to turn the
affair to political account The assumption is
that kalloch is a martyr to the cause instead
of political blatherskite and demagogue, and
upon this presumption pretend that he was
shot because he was Workingmens candi-
date; whereas it is notorious that the shooting
was the result of personal quarrel, and had
no sort of bearing upon the political issues be-
tween the Workingmen and their opponents.
The whole thing is about as justifable as one
OF Mr.. Bobingersolls arguments against the
Christian religion. And a crazier set of
"Whereases and "Resolves" than those re.
Gently enacted by the ''mass meetings in the
East it would be difficult to imagine. One Of
these so called leaders comes out fiat against

that labor saving machinery was to be the ruin
Of the farmer, as he claimed it had been of
mechanics; that the only hope for humanity
was in rising of the denizens of the slums
against the capitalist and well Lacking
the power to rule, this man wants to enter
upon the alternate programme of ruin. The
man who gets upon stand in the presence of
intelligent people and offers an emission of
this kind, is laboring under an hallucination
of one sideism, induced by the mouthings of
demagogical party blatherskites, which sug-
gests an advanced stage of softening of the
brain, or what is in its place

THE Rev. Dr. William P Breed, who is
spending the Summer at Ocean Beach, N. J. +,
seems to have been critically and coldly
| studying the women bathers. Ia a letter by
him in the Evangelist is the following passage
Beauty unadorned adorned is most. This
may be true of rain bows, sunset clouds, and
humming birds, but it is the poles asunder
from the truth with respect to the beauty Of
a woman. A French milliner, indeed, could
hardly make Venus of Meg Merrllies, but
an American bathing suit maker could go
near to making Macbeth witch of Venus.
How a woman, costumed in average style for
buffet with the breakers, would serve as
scare crow do not know, but her success as
a scare horse has been demonstrated. That
horse would lose all claim to respect that
would not run from bathing non-suit such
as il common at most seaside resorts.
If any one has a desire to see of what some
men and women are built, the bathing place
is the spot Of all others to find out. That
symmetrical youth, with broad shoulders and
shapely limbs--a perfect Adonis on the sand
tic hat is, after he has had one plunge, mere
lay figure, a jumping jack Of such
questionable shape, that his identity is swal-
lowed up in suit which clings to him like
seaweed to a clam" He's simply an ami
mated clothes rack. And that woman, whose
Hebs form you have gazed on with swelling
admiration, we mean her with the glorious
hair and such waist and bust-Gods, how
the vision fades as you volunteer to attend
her in the surf g How stale, flat and
skinny she is, as supported by your hand she |
floats quietly on the gentle rolls. The blue |
vault is her only mirror there and she can /
not "see herself as others see her. If any |
one admres we'll proportioned, plump forms,

and Joseph Burnell We're expelled from the

arrest at Bridgeport for the murder of John

which the shooting atfray occurred, recently,
between force of Jupiter and Owyhee men.
Lyon county Times
If all the Unions will take snch action it will
break up the practice of either jumping claims
or a resort to the shot gun and revolver to es-
tablsh rights. We have laws protecting ev-
cry man in his rights, but apparently none
for the protection of life. We have seen
within three years, three confessed murderers
escape Justice murderers whom Judge, jury
and counsel must have known to be guilty,
while an unfortunate devil who was driven to
steal his dinner, went to the penltentlary.
Men who will hire themselves to any claimant
for fighting purposes, deserve to be driven
from every Union in the land, and the men
who employ them should be held accountable
for every death occurring on either side,
through such means.

DAN DE QUILLE says he knows of certain

mine situated somewhere to the northeast of
the North Bonanza, said to have been worked
in 1861 by two Mexicans, who packed their
ore to Six-mile Canyon, where they ground it
i'll an arastra. AS the story goes. one of the
Me1icans was found dead near the arastra, and
the other was never seen afterwards No one
thought much about what they were doing or
where they procured the ore they were work
ing at that time, but now, as the matter is
talked over, it IS beginning to be believed that
they had somewhere to the northward very

Where Women Never 10.

During eight hundred years no woman
is known to have entered the grounds of
the monastery of Camadoli, Italy, except
once, when princess of the house of
Medici, who had great desire to behold
the place, disguised herself in mems
clothing and was admitted. But so
stricken with remorse was she on behold
ing the sacred spot that she hastened to
the Pope to confess her fault, and, as a
penance for it, was commanded to build
a new cottage in the enclosure, which
she did. The monastery is one of the
few institutions of the kind suffered to
remain in Italy. A recent visitor says
that what are called cells are comfort
able little dwellings. Each is surrounded
by a wall, and has its garden twenty
feet square. A little piazza, with the
trunk of tree planed and squared for a
bench as its only furniture, runs along
the side of the house. Entering the
door, you find yourself in brick paved
vestibule, with an empty chamber where
a spring Of water is flowing into basin
on the left, and the living rooms on the
right. These consist of a study Just
large enough for one person to sit down,
dining and sleeping room, with the
bed built into the wall in fashion of a
ships berth. A small table, two chairs,
and cupboard complete the furnishing.
Food is passed to the occupant through
a hole in the wall, all being prepared in
a common kitchen and brought to the
hermits once a day. They never eat
meat; and their portion Of fish on all
except fast days consists of six ounces of
fresh or four of salt fish.

An AnecdOte Of Prentiss.

In the autumn of 1S41 he Joined a
hunting party with which he spent
week or two under a tent in the forests
of the Sunfower, small river tributary
to the Mississippi, in the vicinity of
Vicksburg. Towering above the tent
stood one of those remarkable elevations,
evidently the work of art, which abound
in the Mississippi Valley, and are COM
monty called Indian mounds. One day
Mr.. Prentiss, with the aid of the vines
and overhanging boughs, made his way
to the top of the mound, when his
friends, who were collected around the
tent, discovering him, united in the call
for a speech-a speech from Prentiss
"Upon what subjectW "Upon the
subject on which you stand" He at
once set off in a playful sally for the
amusement of himself and friends, but,
warming in the subject as he proceeded,
his creative Imagination now peopled
the forest with that lost tribe, that mys-
terious race, who, ages past, inhabited
the country before the birth of the
aboriginal trees that abound upon these
huge piles and bespeak their previous
existence.
He introduced every variety of char
acter-fairies, princes, courtiers, war
riors; marshaled armies and fought
battles, going on thus for more than an
hour, in vein of philosophical refec-
tion and poetical invention, which i'm
parted thrilling, almost real interest
to the imaginary scene. The gentleman
from whom the writer had this incident,
was man of cultivated tastes, had
often heard Mr.. Prentiss at the bar and
on the hustings, and considered this one
of his happieSt efforts.

The First Signal Corps.


The first records of signal corps are
found 260 years before Christ, in the
writings of Polybius, whose cumbersome
and immovable apparatus seems to have
been used among the armies of the East,
and, with unimportant notifications
until the seventeenth century. At the
siege of Vienna, John Smith, the ex-
plorer of Virginia, used the plan of
Polybius with effect, to arrange with the
besieged forces fora sortie, he having
learned it from the Turks. The quaint
old English works of 1850, or therea bout,
tell of ' a marvellous device by which
those who know may converse so far as
light may be known from darkness" See
Bishop wilkins book, Mercury, OF the
Secret and Swift Messenger Also DIR.
Robert Hooke's "Phy ylosophical Tran
sactions' for 1854 and Rees' 'Cyclop;edia
The fact is that in the time of Polybius,
and through most of the Greek and
Roman wars, there were corps of signal
lists or telegraphers with the army.
These were known as " tirc-bearers' or
more literally. " fire-swingers"

ADVICE TO HoUsEKEEPERs.-If you
can't can all you want to, can all you can,
and dry all you can't.
In busting, use soft cloth instead of
a brush or wing; the cloth will catch
all the dust, and you can shake it from
the window, while the others set it
floating again.
To CURE FRECKLEs.-Wash in fresh
buttermilk every morning, and rinse the
face in tepid water; then use a soft towel
Freckles may also be removed by apply
ing to the face a solution of nitre and
water. Another good wash for freckles
is made by dissolving three grains of
borax in five drachms each of rose water
and orange-fower water. There are
many remedies for freckles, but there is
none that will Danish them entirely.

The Dark Continent.


Africa, from being an unknown land
full of dark, impenetrable mysteries,
land whose glory lay entirely in the past,
whose wonderful pyramids, which spoke
SO eloquently of a race gone forever, con-
stituted its chief interest in the eyes of
the world, is fast becoming of great COM
mercial Importance. The travellers who
have, of late years, penetrated Central
Africa, have found it a region of great
wealth, with a vast population of from
200, 100000 to 400, 100000 The climate
of the high regions is healthy, very diff
ferent from what has been imagined in
the past, when the only idea had was
that obtained from the low, marshy
lands upon the seacoast. The soil is
adapted for the cultivation of most of
the useful plants grown in the southern
part of our own country. The mineral
wealth is great, but it needs intelligent
development by means of men and
machinery, such as are employed in
other and better known regions.
England has become thoroughly awake
to the advantages of obtaining a foot
hold and influence among the people of
Africa, uncivilized as they are. In her
present depressed financial condition, it
is absolutely necessary that she should
find new lands to conquer in trade and
here is her golden opportunity. Already
her steamers are plying upon the Fam
bezi, and she contemplates placing them
upon the Niger. The plan of building
railway five hundred miles long from the
seacoast to the interior costing $50, ,OOO,-
900 is under consideration in London,
and is most favorably regarded. 1t is
the hope of Great Britain that the future
development of this vast country, now
SO rapidly becoming known by the push
and courage of different explorers,-and
the consequent civilization of its people,
will open and maintain vast commercial
interests that will restore the manu-
featuring prosperity of England, and
give her again that pre-eminence of
which she has so long proudly boasted.

1t may be safely stated that no river

can equal the Columbia in variety and
grandeur of beauty. The Rhine in COM
parison with it is only rivulet, and its
most famous heights only hillocks COM
pared to the stupendous pinnacles and
chains that stretch for miles along the
shores of the great river of the West.
What river but this can show mountains
q mile high, rising perpendicular from
the waters edge? terraces that extend
for distance of 300 miles along its
banks, at an elevation of from one to
1000 feet? towering crags that loom up
apart to height of 900 feet? trees that
have an altitude varying from 100 to
300 feet? and an outline of its own that
spreads out in places into a lake six
or seven miles wide, or contracts into
spaces 40 or so feet in width? None

AIligatOrs i'm the Ohio River.
[Cincinnati GazetteI


A few weeks ago an alligator, three
feet long, was shared on the Covington
shore of the Ohio River, and placed in a
cage Since the capture several other
of the same species of animal have been
seen between the empty coal barges,
near the mouth of Willow Run. This
is the first time alligators have assembled
the Ohio as high as Cincinnati. A rise
in the river would sweep the reptiles
down stream where they belong, and
where it is hoped they will remain
hereafter The prolonged season of warm
weather must have coaxed the creatures
far above their usual ranges.
DIR. Howe has secured the captured
saurian for scientific purposes, and for
the present has displayed the reptile in
a tank of the Natur.l History Rooms on
Broadway. The captive is exceedingly
pugnacious and vicious. Small boys
should not bathe in the river at present.
