A COUNCIL OF THE ALPHABET

| H.
BY PALMER COX.
One day, in secret council met
The letters Of the alphabet,
To settle. with free debate,
This matter of important weight:
Which members Of the useful band
The highest honors should command.
1t was a delicate affair.
For all the twenty-six were there,
And every one presumed that lie
Was Just as worthy as could be,
While &, sort of go-between,
Was seated like Judge serene,
Impartially to hear the case,
And keep good order in the place.
Aud smiling in his own conceit;
"Now, comrades, take a glance at me:
There's grace in every curve you see.
And beauty, which you'll never find
In letters of the broken kind.
Now, there is 1, straight up and down,
How incomplete is such clown!
Without foot, without head,
A graceful curve or proper spread
And j and X, and + and l.,

THE oUrCAsr.

Jostle him out from the warmth and light
Only vagrant feeble and gray;
Let him reel on through the stormy night
What though his home be miles away
With muttered curse on wind and rain
He crept along through the miry lane.
Lonely the pathway, and dark and cold.
Shelter he sought meath ruined wall;
Over his senses numbness stole,
Round him sleep threw her mystic pail,
Then an angel chime with plying tears
And lifted the veil Of by-gone years.
Gayly he sports by rippling brook;
Soft is the breath Of the summer air,
Flowers adorn each mossy nook,
Sunshine and happiness everywhere,
He is Willie now, just four years old,
With his rosebud lips and curls of gold.
Hark to the roll Of the war-like drum!
See the brave soldiers go marching by!
Home from the battle yeung Viii has come,
Courage and joy in his sparkling eye,
And his pulses thrill with hope and pride,
For he soon will greet his promised bride.
Now in the fireside's Pickering glow
Calmly he's taking his evening rest;
Fondly he kissed his infants brow,
Sleeping secure on it's mo theirs breast.
And the dreamer stirred and family
smiled]:
He is William, now with wife and child.
The curtain dropped-the morning broke
Faint was the flush in the Eastern sky;
Moaning and wrefched the sleeper woke,
Brushing tear from his bloodshot eye,
TO bis squalid home beyond the hill,
With saddened heart, crept poor old Bill.

The Nex Perce News Fraternity
Conooct the Scheme and Gail upon
our Big Brother Frank to do
the Dirty Work.

Every reader Of Parker Of the
Statesman and Parker Of the Ners
has observed how much they in
tcrchange their praise of each other.
Big Bro. Frank says the "Ne,os is the
peoples paper at Lewiston, the people
sustain it and are proud of their little
paper. Old fossil Leland dare not at
tack it," and other similar and often
repeated expressions of adulati n. In
return for which the tother Brother
Aaron says "the Statesman is the best
paper OF the whole northwest" and SO
they have been running things for sew
eral weeks. But all this effort Of the
mutual admiration brotherhood has
failed to elicit anything more than
disgust, except with few persons Of
vitiated and morbid appetite and has
signally failed to detract from, or in
jure the TELLER by the attempted
contrast, which has been their prime
object Some other policy had to be
adopted, and SO the Neacs fraternity
concoctcd scandal upon Leland and
his family, and not daring to publish
it where Leland resided and was well
known, they furnish it to Big Bro
Frank to publish, who says he will do
any dirty work for money, which
among all his sayings, is about the on
" one that is true, and the dish washer
and feeder of swill has seen fit to pub
fish it in the weekly of the 10th of
September. The ears of the donkey
creep out of the article distinctly.
1t first opens with fulsome praise of
Bro. Aaron's paper, then the strained
effort to find and coin words to ex-
press the molice of the fraternity tow
ards the TELLER and its editor, appar-
emily stamp every line and sentence of
their production with untruth, and
PROSTATE big Bro. Frank below the
scale of respectable journalism in spite
of himself, while the TELLER still
floats triumphantly over all such
| attacks

AS the Mai's barometer showed the alti-
tude triae over 5000 feet, they inferred
that the figures 1897 represented the alti-
tude as taken by Roberts, who was then
seeking to cross the Loksa and reach a
branch Of the north fork of the Clearwater,
and come in east and north Of Pierce city,
and meet Eastwick's survey up the north
fork. Truax then found that the difference
between that of the Loksa at the above
mentioned fiat and the summit was only
about 700 feet, and the distance from the
river around on the bench as above de-
scribed to the summit, was little over
seven miles, with uniform grade, thus
making the maximum grade Of the as
cent from the river to the summit less than
100 feet to the mile, which by leaving the
river at another point Truax thinks the
maximum grade may be reduced to rs or
so feet per mile. Truax says the maximum
grade Of any portion Of the route from the
mouth Of the middle fork to the point of
leaving the Loksa to ascend to the sum-
nit will not exceed fifty feet per mile.
The route down the Lo Lo of the Bitter
Root to the valley, he reports as excellent,
The junction of the Lo Lo and the st.
Mary's river being $500 feet above sea level.
and the military post at Missoula City is
3l2s feet. The Majors exploration has
placed the fact beyond dispute that We
have practical railroad route through to
the Bitter Root Valley via Lewis
ton and the Clearwater, for which
the editor of tue TELLER has ever contend
ed since he first heard of the route in 1868
and and the TELLER especially has always
eontended that pass could be found
whose summit would not exceed $3.50 feet.
The Majors pass is less than 5000, and
that confirms the statements Of the TELLER
Nh il good enough. Since receiving
q statements, and since Truax has

skeptical that for fruit growing this
region is unsurpassed both as regards
quality and productiveness. Apples,
peaches, pears and plums grown here
will compare as regards quality and

the fruit attains q size here that would
be called enormous when compared

Whether the other party are going

days, when we will give their report in
detail. We know enough, however, to
affirm that there are no less than three
practicable passes through the Bitter Root
range south of the Pen d'Oreille pass, which
fact knocks in the head the statements
of the different engineers Of the Northern
Pacific, who have reported upon this range,
and vindicates beyond successful contra
diction the eft repeated and reiterated claim
of the Editor of the TELLER in opposition
to every adverse claimant. Hurrah for the
passes, and hnrrah for the TELLER, hurl al

vered to properly explore these passes.
