OF Interest to stump Speakers.

As the time for stump speakers to
call the attention of "the dear people,
to the dangers which threaten the
country, from this or the other politi-
cal party, is approaching, an exchange
advises the adoption OF q new meta
phor that the people can readily un-
derstand, and that is right to the
point, something Ike this: M.
Chairman and fellow citizens, tonight
we set in motion a rectangular parall-
elograln whose qnadrilateral periphery
shall not cease to skip along upon its
salient angles disembowelug a Re
Publican voter at every jump. This
magnificent demonstration convinces
me that tonight we have an iucr, :
ment to the growing cube whose atti-
tndinous trapezoid shall move like a
regular pentagon of power through all
the comic sections of Republican SLAM
dilerous, falsitcatipns, etc.' This has
the advantage of being new, and there
is no doubt Of its becoming very po-
palar daring the campaign.

in 1862 by a bevy of Dung ladies.
whose brothers and sweethearts were
fighting for their country and left
them without the resources of male
escort, except the laggards who re-
manned at home. Unwilling to accept
the gallantry of these young men, the
young ladies preferred to depend up
on themselves aid formed the associa-
ton mentioned. Out Of revenge the
gallants dubbed these independent
damsels cold maids" and they accept
ed the cognomen and made it their
own. A humorous constitution and
bylaws were drafted by Mrs. c. E.
Henry, then single young lady ard
one Of the founders of the institution.
Man was declared the "common enc

the society was continued war
against his advances. He was relig-
icusly excluded from all meetings, and
a special clause of the bylaws said
that any member who should marry

Tx B''ise county politicians are
very unsociable this year-so much
50 that il Is hard to figure out who
are prospecting for votes. The politr
icai grip is not extended as it used to
be; the affected sympathetic and M,ft
words Of the Office hunter fall no more
on the ears Of the unsuspecting voter,
nor does that bland and familiar smile
greet him on the corners; wliskey
don't flow like water as it has flown
in bygone days. What means this
sort Of conduct? Have the candi-
dates found out these lodges have
been worked too hong. and have
ceased to pan out? Either no one is
patriotic enough to come forward and
offer to shoulder the burden If Office
for the coming two years, or the poll
tician has made up his mind to tickle
the voters in new spot.

The Register thinks the next Legis-

more truth than poetrysinit. although.
some consider it joke. The reno
val of the capital from a thickly set

ner with a comparatively small pop
ulation, would be quite joke on the
whole Territory outside of the south
east section; but no one in this por-
ltion of Idaho apprehends such re-
movaI. The sudden growth Of the

Strange but Trur.

Last fall, year ago, Jas. l.. Miller,
ESD, of Bartlett's precinct, had some
hands engaged in cutting timber in the
bottoms Of Rough creek, about $50 yards
from the creek. II was very dry wealth
er and the little streams were all dry,
and Rough creek very low. An oak
tree cut by them fell against maple
and uprooted it, making Il hole some
three feet deep. After a short time
water rose in the hole, and one of the
men noticed that the water was bein g
agitated. He was curious To know what
agitated it, and upon examination II
mud cat fish about four inches long
was found. The fish had no eyes. Mr..
Miller says this can be proven (if his
word is doubted) by four or five reliable
men.

Criminal Court and otherwise, had
made the road desperately muddy. One
day last week John went down To
Browns coal mine for d load OF coal.

faith in the mules great lac put on II
smashing load. When he struck the
main road and reached one ofthose ugly
mud-holcs downwcnt the " ,son whccls
almost To the axle and the mules
stopped. In vain did john coax, whip
and encourage them, ii w,~ no go. He
was in dilemma. The mules had
never stalled before and he was afraid if
his employers found out that he had
overloaded and balked them he would
be dismissed and his dependence for
making the ''Ole oman an children"
some bread and meat to eat would be
gone. Just then fine looking young
doctor Of this place, who has, for his short
practice, obtained quite an enviable rep
utation, came riding by. John accoStcd
the NJ. ID. as follows: "Dr. W j. you
got any medicine along viii you that
will foich all the power Of Il mule out'n
him? Desc here mules can pull Out'n
here day would iist dothay level best. J"
DIR. W said he had no medicine ta-
ken internally tha, would answer hut
he had remedy if applied externally
would bring them out quick. John was
delighted and said, II allers knodc you's
IA smart un and don't kerr how its
piled so it'll fotch em out'u dar.' Dr.
W took ont two small phial> and
filled them with turpentinc, he gave one
Ia John and simultaneously they ap-
piled a small quantity to cscI mule near
