HYMENEAL.

A large number of invited guests
were present at the wedding last
Thursday evening Of John NJ. Danskin,
Sheriff Of Boise county, and Miss FL
la Halpin, of this city, at the resi-
dence Of the brides parents. The guests
assembled at o'clock, and before
s the happy bride and groom were
united in the bonds of matrirnony by
Judge Fl. E. Prickett, S. G. Silsby
acting as groomsnan and Miss Jen-
ME Arlington as bridesmaid. How
were the ladies dressed" did you
ask? Well, we give it up. The re-
porter failed to get in his interroga-
ton point for this important item,
without which a wedding description
lis never complete. Both ladies looked
lovely, and that is all we know
about il. After congratula-
tons and expressions Of wishes
that the newly married couple would
have smooth sailing over the sea Of
matrimony, and an anbounded share
of prosperity and happiness, the con-
pany joined in feasting, music and
merry-making, which took mp the
time the remainder of the even
ling. As merry . party as ever
came together in Idaho City on the
occasion Of a wedding were there, and
the hospitality and hilarity that
were bestowed and indulged in will
long be remembered by all who were
preseat. Among the guests we no

A New Motor.

A recent French invention Of con-
siderable interest, is an improved mo-
tive power engine, worked by means
Of atmospheric pressure under tue eff
feet Of barometric vacuum. By means
Of two connecting rods shaft re-
ceives rotary motion produced by
the action Of two parallel cylinders.
Each cylinder is closed at one end,
and communicates with an oscillating
cylinder in the form Of q, which
may be placed either horizontally OF
vertically. When it is placed hori-
zontically and filed with mercury. al
well as the motive cylinder, the pis
ton is at tile end of the cylinder; thu
osciHating cylinder is then placed il

falls, and the barometric vacuum be

Torture in Olden Times.

The tortures of those DAYS were
studied as a science, though perhaps
it had gained in diasolical refine
ment by the time that Dameins was
operated on before the beau mode of
Paris for his attempt upon Louis the
well-beloved. The scene in the six
teenth century was usuallya gloomy
underground chamber, dimly light
ed by torches or cressents, and dead
ed by massive masonry against the
escape of sound. The executiOner
was probably born in the scarlet, or
had at all events served an appren-
ticeship to some master who had
perpetuated the grim traditions of
the craft. He and his aids had paid
careful attention to the machinery !;
if the screws and the pulleys work
ed slowly and roughly, that was all
the better, so long as they did not
kill. 4 speedy release was the thing
10 be guarded against ; and most
horrible of all was the presence of
the chirurgeon. There he stood in
grave imperturbability, with hard,
watchful eyes, or with the finger on
the pulse of the patient, approprl-
ately robed in his sad-colored gar
ments, ready to interpOse should
tortured nature seem oYerstrained,
or to awaken it when it had found
relief in kindly oblivion. In helat-
ter case he would apply himself with
salts and essences to the revival of
the mangled wreck of humanity,
and rekindle the sparks of life by
assiduous attentions, till the recOv-
cry was so satisfactory that the tor
ture might be resumed. Occasion
allv the sufferer would make full
confession sometimes, having moth
ing to say that was worth hearing,
he would groan out tissue of in
coherent falshoods /; not unfrequent-
ly he would be firm to the end
greatly to the credit of his courage
or his obstinacy In the sixteenth
century, and long afterward, that Ii
censed inhumanity was recognized
all over France, and abused-if
abuse may be said to be possible
by the possessors of seiginoralrights,
as well as by the provincial parlia-
ments, and governors. Remember
ing the traditions of cruelty and in
science that have been multiplying
themselves from time immemorial
through the length and breadth of
the land under the rule of harsh and
irresponsible tyrants, we may have
some conception of the revengeful
spirit that was unclaimed when the
mob had broken loose and become
masters in their turn.

Winning Him Back.

One of the Travellers for a new,
fresh dry goods house recently ar
rived in town in the interior of the

TONERS was about to transfer his
custom to Boston house.

you?" said the New Yorker, as he
sat down for an explanation.
Yes l believe so"
didn't we ship goods prompt
ly?"
Yes"
and did we press you when you
were in a pinch ?"
No
Did you get lower prices from
the Boston house ?"
NO, / can't say I did,
Then | can't understand why
YOU should leave our house all Of a
sudden after buying of US for several
years"
Il know some explanation is due,
and l will make one" replied the
merchant. you know l attend

"Yes, and so do l."
"Do you? l didn't know that. l
am looked upon as aChristian.

baptism right here in my note
book"
rs that so? Well our church Is
in need of repairs. We were talking
it over the other day when the Bos-
ton drummer was in here, and he at
once subscribed ten dollars"
Ten dollars Why that's only
two kegs Of nails ! Put me down for
thirty-fve dollars cash, new silk
hat for every season, and a full suit
of clothes for the minister.
"Do you really mean it?'
"Of course 1 do, and if that two

About Marrying.

Josh Billings thus writes TO a
friend about marrying: By awl
means Joe, get married if you have
a fair chance. Do not stand shiyer-
ing on the bank, but pitch right in
and stick your head under, and the
shiver is over. Thar amt any more
trick in getting married than there
is in eating peanuts. Many 4 man
has stood shivering on the shore
until the river run out. Don't ex
pect to marry an angel them hev
all been picked up long ago. Re
member, Joe, you amt a saint your
self. Do not marry for buty exclu-
sively; buty is ike ice, awful slip
perry and thaws dreadful easy. Don't
marry fur luv neither; luv is like a
cooking stove, good for nothing
when the fuel gives out. But let
the mixture be some buty, becOm-
ingly dressed. with about $500 in
her pocket, gud speller, handy and
neat in her house, plenty of good
sense, tugh constitution, a light step,
small feet; and sound teeth and
warm heart. This mixture viii
keep in any climate, and viii not
evaporate. If the cork happens to
be left out the strength amt gone
Joe. Don't marry for pedigee, IN
less backed by bank notes. A
family with nothing but pedigree,
generally lacks sense"

The NiShtingaic.

One of the most cclebEteI birds
is the nightingale, or might singer.
1t is a migratory bird. DoyoI know
what this is? 1t Is q bird that visits
itsnorthern home early in the spring,
and quits it for the south carly in
the autumn. 1t migrate.
This famous bird Is common in
nearly all parts Of Eur ItAamts
woods, thickets, and gardens 1t
mygrates into Egypt and Syria. 1t
has been seen among t.. willows Of
Jordan and the olive ii, -oi e-dEa.
In no part of Europe IS f. @a.a COM
mon than in Spain or Itl.E. hu-
even in these southern regions --r
bird is migratory.
The nightingale Is shy III its aao-
its. Its nest is placed low, and hid
den from view. It's e-gs, uye iuuuu-
Der. are Of an olive brown. IT. fool
consists of insects. In color It IS
brown, with a redi>h tiu-e OH ITS
back and tail.
As a songster, It is unsurpassed.
Though its notes arc heard at inter
walls during the day, they are pour
ed forth in Itheir greatest perfection
on quiet evenings, an hour or two
after sunset and when the moon is
nearly full, and the weather Is serene
the melodious song Of the uIghcu-
gale NAV be heard at midnight.
The late Bishop Stanley, of Eng
land. gives an account Of one that
he raised from the nest IL was
kept in a cage two years then the
cage was hung open at the door. and
the bird was allowed to 20 out.
At first it returned regularly every
evening. As the season advanced.
it sometimes STAYED out all night in
the garden but if called by some
one whose voice 1t knew, It would
return and feed from his hand. Ia
the autumn, as the evenings got COOL
it returned TO its cage again before
nightfall. 1t was taken as usual
into the house, and was kept there
for the winter. This is q curious in
stance Of the force Of habit over
coming the instinct OF 20 Bird
