Letter From AnatOnc.
ANAroNE April Is les

ANAroNE April l3 1880.
Mr.. EDIroR:-Not only the people
of the three northern counties of Idaho|
desire to become par of the new
state of Washington, but the Masses
throughout this Washington territory
desire this coalition also. A severance
of the three northern counties from
the southern part of Idaho and the
joining Of them to the new state is as
much to the general interest Of the
new state as any other policy that
might be offered. BY natural bound
aries, channels, intercourse and com
mercial necessities, the three northern
counties of Idaho belong to the new
state Of Washington territory. There
is an actuating public spirit at Boise
city, determined to work against the
simple logic of nature, and hold and
COMPEL the people Of North Idaho to
pay tribute to Caesar, for tribute is
alone the motive that argues against
thisseverancefrom and thisalliance with
the people Of Washington. Your del
egate in congress has n yer manifested
any zeal and is not in the least dis.
posed to encourage the sentiment Of
your people, or that of our people but
to the contrary declares that on
the whole you are unwilling to be
severed from people with whom you
rarely visit and seldom communicate
except to forward tribute The ques
ton Of becoming state and Of having
the three northern counties of Idaho
with US in that confederation appears
to our people, as paramount to al
other questions affecting our future
growth and prosperity. With these
| facts before me / cannot see the con.
sistency Of your people uniting with
the people of the southern part o.
Idaho in the coming election, to cleo,
and send delegate to the capital, who
ignores your interests, tramples upor
your natural means to future GREATNESS.
and through this policy confronts oul
best interests and prospects towards
becoming powerful state. ! see nj
reason why your people could expect
any future delegate to congress from
idaho il elected from among the cit,
zsns of Southern Idaho to be any NOR,
willing or ready to conccde to yor
your rights or through you our hope
full prospects. 1t does not appear
| worthy Of moments deliberaticn thai
your people could assist inelecting ane
sending delegate to congress to sim
ply misrepresent them. Your politi
cal views, either as democrats or repuh
licans will WELD no influence with
such representative when the only
motive of your alliance with them i,
for the purpose of tribute, and in
crease of the revenue of which they
receive the direct benefit.

Bernhardt's Costumes.
my. Graphic,l


Five beautiful toilettes may be worn in ''Ad-
rienne Lecouvneur" by the heroine, and it is
therefore sometimes called the ''Play of Five
dresses" The toilet worn by Mile. Bernhardt
when she makes her first entrance is long
Turkish robe of gold embroidered satin
trimmed with swansdown. The pettcoat is of
gold striped Turkish gauze, but is almost en-
tirely concealed by the wide scarf, which is of
scarlet satin embroidered with gold and edged
with gold fringe. The trousers are salmon
pink satin and the lining of the robe pale
the wide sleeves, beneath which are second
sleeves of embroidered gauze. Her waist is
confined by girdle of precious stones, very
small, set in groundwork of diamonds. The
headdress is circlet of diamonds with a cres-
cent over the forehead and diamond spray
fastened low upon the side of the hair. Small
pointed slippers of white satin are turned up
slightly at the toes and trimmed with swans
down. The secand dress is pompadour toi-
let, the train and fabric of silver gray satin
brocaded with light sprays OF eglantine. The
train is drawn up from the side and straight
across the 'front.' which is composed of tiuted
box-plaitings of pink silk, headed with narrow
bands OF satin embroidered TO match the bro-
cade. The plating is repeated upon the bod
ice, and assists the lavish use OF lace in giving
fuliness to the neck. The sleeves are composed
entirely OF triple ruffies of lace, divided by en-
broidered bands of satin, and surmounted by
an upright plating which touches the shoul-
der. In the first scene OF the following act
the same dress is worn with the addition of IA
mantle Of white lace, artisticaly draped about
the head neck and shoulders. The third
dress is less effective and less refined in its
elegance. 1t Is also pompadour dress, but
the combination Is more snowy and pro-
nounced. The train OF ivory satin is combined
with a bodice of pale blue satin and a tsblier
festooned with folds OF blue silk, caught down
with great pink and ivory roses. A garland
OF mixed roses is arranged as an order, with a
profusion of lace about the neck, and lace
sleeves covered the arms TO the elbows. The
fourth and last dress is u ,teJtiJ6 OF ivory satin
and lace made iii Vatican style. The front is
a mass of tine lace, put on i'll narrow plaitings,
divided at wider intervals with shells Of satin,
and decorated with ivory satin ribbons.
With the first dress her long bronze-tinted
hair falls in bright waves far below her waist,
in the third act aud fourth act it is powdered,
but in the last, the death scene, it returns TO
its natural color. Mile. Bernhardt wears her
clothes with exceeding q ace, but they are not
odd or outiG, as reports would naturally lead
one to expect They are only rich and gener-
ally in exquisite tasLe.

j. o. SMITH, Esq, of Skowhegan, now dep
uty Secretary of State, is TO be candidate
before the Republican Legislative Conven-
ton to be held the first Wednesday of Janu-
ary next, for the office of Secretary of State
of Maine. For this important place his
qualifications are eminent both from natu-
raj ability and experience of public affairs.
He was member of the House is 1869 and
1870, Assistant Clerk Of House in 1872
and 1873 and has been six years In the Sec
retary OF States office-two years as First
Clerk and four years as Deputy. In all
these positions he has been a valuable off
cial, prompt and attentive to business and
urbane and courteous in bearing.
Politically his services entitle him to spec
ial consideration from Republicans. As
Secretary of the Republican State Commit
tee his efficient work is well known to all
who have had to do with the active politics
of the State, while as editor of the Somerset
Reporter he has stoutly upheld the Republi-
can banner in that part of the State. His
army services, also, should not be forgotten.
He served two and half years in the 1lth
Maine Regiment, receiving commission
at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, on
the day of Lees surrender, from "Fighting
old Jock HilP'-Gen. J. A. Hill-theu Col
onel commanding the Regiment.
The business of the Secretary's office is of
great variety and detail, and is closely con-
nected with the Executive and Legislative
departments. The change of the tenure of
Office from one to two years makes it of un-
usual Importance to have man in charge
of this department thoroughly familiar with
its duties during the transition period. We
can most heartily recommend Mr.. Smith as
admirably suited to the place for which he
Is candidate and one whose selection will be
of great advantage to the public service.
