We were we'll aware of tho passage
of the act named, but in the revised
statutes there is no rc.enactment Of
that law and it is not anywhere in the
revised code: The appendix found on
page o73 is preiaced as follows: "The
following is the title Of the acts of the
territory Of Idaho, not printed in this
volume from 1868 to 1875 inclusive
still in force" These titles are under
tie head Of the respective years Of their
basssgc, but under the head of 1864
no title is mentioned which embraces
this act, and the head of other years in
the appendix, aad this has created the
doubt Of the present force of that law
While practically we are proceeding
under this law, yet to remove all doub
the case should be made more specifi,
and this is why we called Mr.. Man
Mugs attention to the matter.

A Boy Fiend's HOrrid Work.

A most terrible and unnatural tragedy
was enacted in the town of Porter, Rock
county, Wis.,, on the 2Sd, being the murder
of Sandie, fve-year-old son of Alexander
White, by George Baumgartner, German
boy, aged II years, employed by Mr.. White
as farm hand. When last seen alive the
child was accompanying Banmgartner to the
barn. Not returning to the house in rea'
sonable time, search was made and the hor-
rible deed discovered. The little child was
found with his hands and feet tied with
strips cut from Baumgarten's overalls, and
his throat cut from ear to ear. The fend
not satisfied with this, had stabbed the
child at the naval and cut cash extending
upward about four inches, from which the
bowels were protruding. The child was
found in sheep barn about twenty rods
from the house, where the murderer had
first tried to hang him, and failing in this,
cut his throat, as above, and then thrust him
under the Manager. The murderer, ate
completing this devilish work, coolly walked
into the house and changed mis- clothes and
taking the embarrassed horse, fed. The
country is being secured by an enraged
community.
Ldter-Raumgartner was captured al
Prairie du Sac on the 24th, and confessed
the deed. He says he does not know what
prompted him to commit it, and that he
must have been insane at the time.

A Pathetic Tale.

Many a painful story is told in con-
nection with the return of the exiled
communists in Paris As might be ex-
pected, there have been Enoch Ardens
among the returned, but happily very
few. When their wives read their
names in the list published in the
Journals, they disappeared. The London
Neaos correspondent reports cases Of an
opposite nature. The wife in this in
stance was heroic in her constant affec-
ton, and accomplished prodigies of
energy in putting her children to trades,
setting herself up in business and send
ing money to her husband, who was laid
lop with chronic malady. He was SO
altered by illness and hardships that at
the railway station neither she nor her
children recognized him. The latter
went back to distant parts of the city
where they are employed, and the wife
returned home in a despairing
mood, which the spectacle of the
rejoicing people around her intensified.
The amnestied husband first lost time
seeking for her in the crowd, and then
waiting to see if she would hunt him up.
He remained until six o'clock waiting
in the hope that she would arrive and
then went to look after some baggage in
which he had collection of curious
shells and stuffed animals which he
thought would please her. When at last
he got to her domicile he was shown to
her room and found the door bolted in
side. Nobody answered to the loud
knocking, and the police commissiary
was sent for. Upon his arrival letter
freshly written was found, in which the
unfortunate woman said that she had
only loved once in her life, and that the
object of her love was her husband. 1t
was evident that he was dead, and death
only could relieve her from her heart
wound. Her dead body lay on the floor.
She had committed suicide.

A Farmers Ten Thousand Dollars

A farmer few days ago wished all
his property in government bonds. In
reply to my inquiry, he said its value
was ten thousand dollars. He has a
small family, lives just outside of the
village on a few acres of land, has a
comfortable house, tidy and well ar
ranged out buildings, two or three cows,
and horse and buggy. He also has
fifty or sixty acres of land not far away,
pretty we'll improved, occupied by
family on such terms as are usual with
farmers. | said to him: "You would
have ten thousand dollars in govern
ment bonds which at four per cent.
would bring you in four hundred dollars
per year; out of which you must hire
house, buy your milk and vegetables and
other farm and garden supplies, and hire
horse and carriage occasionally, to be
as comfortable as you are now. Do you
think you could do it with the four
hundred dollars, and the work, here and
there by the day, equal to that he now
performs? Hardly, it is even doubtful
If he could with six per cent. on his
capital of ten thousand dollars, and the
taxes he would be subject to at the six
per cent. rate of interest. The truth is,
in our estimate of farm profits we seldom
take into account the cost of living,
which is quite large item, as we find
when we sell out and 60 into village to
reside.-Ea- Governor Fenton's Address at
Randolph.

South American Affairs.

The Panama Star and Herald says, during
the attack on Antofagasta, Chill, by the
Peruvian iron clad Huascar, a torpedo was
launched against the Gillian transport
Abtao. After proceeding a short distance
the torpedo turned, heading direct for the
Huascar. A young officer, seeing the peril
of his ship, leaped overheard and meeting
the torpedo changed it's course and it passed
under the stern of the Huascar. The cap
tain of the Abtao was reported wounded in
the fight and a number of his men and off.
GERS killed. There is not dollar in the
Peruvian treasury, and future has been an.
ticipated up to the end of November. and
five million dollars are due banks and
others for war expenses. Soldiers are with.
out pay and promise soon to be without
rations. Banco Nacional is closed and sew.
eral directors and ex-directors are in prison
charged with issuing paper to the amount
OF $2,6s5,000. The government has guar.
anteed the over-issue and assessment on
shareholders will furnish funds sufficient to
pay depositors and claimants.

a Pen gum ROOkery.

In penguin rookeries the grass covers
wide tracts with s. dense growth, like
that of field of standing corn, but
denser and higher, the grass reaching
high over ones head. Most Of
the droves of penguins made for one
landing place, where the beach surface
was covered with coating of dirt from
their feet, forming broad tract leading
to lane in the tall grass about yard
wide at the bottom, and quite bare with
a smoothly beaten roadway this was the
entrance to the main street of this part
of the rookery." Various
lateral streets lead off on each side from
the main road, and are often at their
mouths as big as it; moreover, the road
sometimes divides for little and joins
again; hence it is the easiest thing to
lose ones way. It is impOssi-
bic to conceive the discomfort of making
ones way through big rookery, hap
hazard, or across country" as one may
say. You plunge into one of the lanes
in the tall grass, which at once shuts out
the surroundings from your view. You
tread on Shiny, black, damp soil COM
posed of the birds dung. The stencil is
overpowering, the yelling of the birds
perfectly terrifying; can call it nothing
else. You lose the path, or per
haps, are bent from the first in
making direct for some spot on the other
side Of the rookery. Now you
are, the instant you leave the road, on
the actual breeding ground. The nests
are placed so thickly that you cannot
help treading on eggs and young birds at
almost every step. A parent bird sits on
each nest, with its sharp beak erect and
open ready to bite, yelling savagely:
"Caa, caa, urr, urr," its red eyes CLEAN
ing and its plumes at half-cock and
quivering with rage. No sooner are your
legs within reach than they are furiously
bitten, often by two or three birds at
once-that is, if you have not got on
strong leather CATERS. as on the first oc-
casion of visiting ronkery yon probably
have not. At first you try to avoid the
nests, but soon find that impossib BILE; then
maddened almost by the pain, stencil
and noise, you have recourse to brutality.
Trump, thump, goes your stick, and at
each blow down goes a bird. Thud,
thud, you hear from the men behind, as
they kick the birds off the nests, and SO
you 60 on for a bit, thump and smash,
whack, thud, caa, caa, urr, urr.," and
the psth behind you is strewed with the
dead and dying and bleeding. 4
But you make miserably slow progress,
and, worried to death, at last resort to
the expedient of stampeding as far as
your breath will carry you. You put
down your head and make rush through
the grass, treading on old and young
haphazard, and rushing on before they
have time to bite.-On the Challenger
MosegY.

The Economiste Fronco;s traces the de-
velopment of the exports of corn from
the United States to Europe since 1870.
In that year the cereals sen. to this side
of the Atlantic amounted to 80, 5000
of hectolitres, and two years later it in
creased o87, 100000. In 1874 it amount
ed to nearly 108,0O0,O00, but in the
next year but one sank to 101, 000,0 600.
This relapse was however amply COM
pensated by an increase in the following
year to 127, 100000, and in 1878 there
was almost as great an advance, which
brought the total to exactly 147,O00,-
900. 1t is mentioned as we'll ascertain
ed fact that of these totals Great
Britain ahsorbs two-thirds, while France
only customer to the extent of per
cent. The Economists is not, however,
of opinion that this steady increase,
alarming as it may seem, will continue
indefinitely. 1t believes, On the con-
trary, that its development has now
reached it's utmost limit.
