During the past week there has
been an apparent struggle with the
elements for the supremacy. Winter,
like half conquered army comes cv-
cry morning peeping over the hills
that surround Lewiston appearing like
> hesitating foe after covering with
snow during the night time all the
green trimmings. that Spring with it's
warm rays perfected by day. We are
now in the halcyon days Of April, and
must soon expect = sudden revolution
Of extremes in the atmosphere. The
burrows must be turned and tn. seed
cast, that early Summer may present
its luscious harvest. Varied, indeed,
are the atmospheric changes Of North
srn Idaho when contrasted during the
past three years one with another. In
February Of 1878, and during the
months Of March and April following
the lands about Lewiston for many
miles were q transition scene Of green
vegetation and q broad carpet Of new
and changing flowers. The mellow
earth was turned and sowing of grain
continued during the Spring and Win
ter seasons. The Winter Of 1879 was
severe in the comparison. Much grain
was sown, and blowing done in early
Summer, but the beckoning finger of
nature did not delay to bring forth a
most abundant harvest.

ED. TELLER.-I hope you will allow
this in your columns as "the apparel
oft proclaims the man" said Polomius.
He was judicious in not Substituting
always for "oft." For not unfrequently
it has been found that the finest bird
| is not the one that wears the finest
feathers
Years ago, the staid citizens of
Washington were astonished one morn
ing at tho appearance Of strange fig
ure in their streets. He was dressed
in an old pair of corduroys, ripped At
the ankle for conyeni fence in rolling
up, a drab overcoat, much the worse
for wear, and furnished with several
capes, hung At his heels. Worn out,
united, unbuckled shoes, and shock
ing hat completed his costume. Sol
emnly he stalked through the streets,
six feet in height, leading little black
filly, her tail matted with burs. A
pair Of small saddle bags hungover the
saddle, in which wasstuifsd papers and
gingerbread and cheese. Stopping at
All obscure tavern he put up his mare,
and relieved himself Of his great coat.
into one of the pockets of a short gray
iinsev roundabout he stuffed some
bread and cheese, and into the OTHER
bundle of law papers tied with yarn
string. Inquiring the way to the su-
preme court, he wa ked forth, the won
der Of the negroes and idle boys Ar
irving at the court house, he sauntered
within the bar, took seat and com
menced munching bread and cheese.
The lawyers and spectators smiled At
the awkward countryman on his first
visit to the capital Soon case was
called which seemed to inter- the
countryman. It ircluded the title to
large tract of land lying in the Green
River country of Kentucky, A Mr..
Taylor of Virginia, leading lawyer,
began his argument by statement of
the facts. All at once the. countryman
stopped mnnching and tapping the
counsel on the back, corrected one
Of his facts The lawyer paused,
frowned at the busy body and went on.
The countryman resumed his MUNICH
ing and in few minutes again correct
ed the counsel. I beg the court to
protect me from the impertinence of
that person, said Taylor, showing much
irritation Taylor finished his power
full argument, and then to the amaze
ment of spectators, the bar and the
Judges, the stranger rose to reply. His
manner was wholly changed. He stood
as if he had practiced in that court all
his professional life His argument
was so clear and forcible and his reply
to the opposing counsel so mastery,
that the bar and court looked as if
they doubted their eyes and ears. Mr..
Taylor seemed paralyzed. The sweat
dropped from his face. The rustic he
had sneered at seemed legal giant.
Everyone asked, who is III 1t was
Joe Daviess, one of the best lawyers,
and most eloquent orators of Kentucky
as eccentric as he was gifted, scarcely
one present knew him personally but
all had heard of his brilliant reputa-
ton. 7. p

Thorn Greek, March 25th 1880.
Ed. TELLER: In your issue OF Mar
10th / sec I. N. Hibbs is at his old
tricks again. Having tried clustering
in vain, he now tries to ride the high
horse Now sir having resided in
Northern Idaho for nearly eighteen
years, the people know me we'll enough
to tell what dependence is to be placed
in my statements and they know too,
that neverengage ina quarrel, unless
] am forced into it; but rs have been
combining myself to plain facts, do
not see what my character and gem-
eral reputation have to do with them.
Is there any difference whether Tom,
Dick or Harry states the plain and
uddisputahle facts that twice two
makes fourl He then refers your read
ers tn the patrons Of school district
No. 3 for further information and
states that they are pleased with his
management. Now, if he vii! 90 to
the office OF the school superintendent
he will find that on February 5, 1880,
at the hour Of noon, . petition was
presented to that officer signed by
majority Of the voters of district No.
3, setting forth their grievances against
him and praying for his removal
Does that look as if they are very
much pleased with hint Then, again,
in his reply to Peep o'Day he accused
the members of the district Of having
furnished less than one cord Of wood
in two years for school purposes. Yet
be charged them for half the wood
burned at the last three months school
term and furnished by him SIS 90.
Do you think the rate payers were
pleased with him for doing sol Why,
no, sir; but they are struck dumb with
admiration at witnessing such cheek.
l am told that the young man is
ambitious, and would like to get into
q good paying office. Now, Mr.. Edi-
tor, could you not help him along by
letting the people know his splendid
qualifications. First, his choice and

Tlnkerlng Senators.

Thesub-committee of the Judiciary COM
mittee who were to consider Morgans
joint resolution and other various
measures intending to work forfeit
ure of lapsed railroad grants reported
to the full committee ON the 25th Of
March last past. They recommended
the passa &c of bill which shall pro
vide authority for the attorney general
to bring suits for forfeiture Of land
grants of all railroad companies which
have not complied with the require.
ments of their charters and which are
not endeavorlng to prosecute the work
OF construction. They have also in
serted proviso in which they exempt
from the operations Of this bill allthose
railroad companies who are at present
engaged IN the work Of construction on
their respective roads. The full com
mittee held quite lengthy discussion
upon the merits of the bill but took no
further action upon it up to the above
date. If this bill becomes law, it is
evident that a certain few are to be
favored, while at others it aims d.
rect blow.

LEWISTON, l. T., March 81.
Mr.. EDIroR:--To q stranger .ojourn-
ing for few weeks in your city, its
general appearance, the appearance of
its people and the impression made
by both must naturally be Of . nature
widely different from those expert
enced by the constant dweller in
your midst Excuse me il / should
appear too much effected by the grand
contrast that your hills and table
lands make when compared with those
in that part of the world where |
have recently been a dweller. There
is something in your people, mani
festation of trait Of character that is
peculiarly striking, a freedom, a gen
eral whole-soul hospitality Lreathed
forth in their manners that seems to
imply a hearty welcome to the moral
stranger The very trees, elegantly
tall, that adorn like an edging the
borders Of your yards and gardens,
strike me as being indicative of flu
ture growth of exterior beauty when
Lewiston will have attained riper
age. OF course all this exhuberance
on my part in regard to the elnbel-
lishments both of the city and of its
inhabitants may be considered as ting
ing to an immoderate degree of pure
criticism. Be it so, then I will add
another bud to the roscate / have al
ready formed, and .criticise not what is
beautiful but what could and ought to
be made so. Lewiston, with it's op-
portunities and its facilities, ought not
to stop short of being very metrop-
oils. She has the avenues of COM
merce and she has the power to sup
ply those avenues with life current
She is the centrifugal igure around
which vast agricult ural country turns
its productive orbs. She must be
great; she will be great. Nature has
SO. placed her, and greatness is her
natural growth. Then, bound and
determined as she is to be what fate
DEGREES, and human nature is averse to
gainsay or retard her in such efforts,
you, her citizens, who own her walks
and gardens, should cultivate her
growing strength to comliness and
beauty. Let her not lie great city,
irregular in its outlines, with broken
strc.ts and walks and uncouth build
ings; but tap the resources from which
you are at liberty to draw the where
With to make your city externally
grand and beautiful. Roll III the
gravel from your side hills and level
your principal roadways; arch your
streets With shade trees that offer so
rapid and thrifty growth; tear down
the debris in the form Of lettering
buildings thereby depriving the YER
min of the right Of manufacturing for
your people the germ Of contagious
diseases, resting assured that q vacant
lot, clean and unincumbered with such
filth, will quicker attract the eye of
the buyer and draw from his purse in
more abundance the price you ask him.
With clean and graded streets, with
level sidewalks and ornamented Dor
ders, with vacant lots healthful in
their general aspect, the stranger who,
unlike myself, lot deing able to pene-
trate the vale and discern the beauty
beyond, will theu embrace the pros
pect and your city will be the chief
among the many spots Of earth that
turns its face to the morning sun.
