An Important Invention for

The Patent FumigatOr and Insect De-

From the Union.

From the Union.
OF all the improvements whic b
science is making In the interest of
agriculture, there is perhaps no one
of more vital Importance than the
successful determination of the null
titude of insects that so annoy the
fruit growers in all quarters OF the
globe. This fact, impressed upon
him by several years experience as a
large orange grower, and having the
opportunity of direct practical obser-
walton of the insect pests incidental
to that enterprise, led Mr.. w. G.
Benedict, of Orange Park. Fla, to
investigate the cause and seek to
bring out some practical idea tor their
systematic destruction. After giving
the matter some years of study and
experimental research, he has sue
ceeded in perfecting the following
described tumigator, insect destroyer,
and frost protector, on which pat.
ents were issued to him October 4th,
1881.

A mans reputation, like his coat,
may be soiled with out touching the
man himself, since the reputation is
not the character, any more than the
sleeve is the arm which it envelops.
The character can be soiled only by
what the man himself does, while the
reputation may have mud thrown
on it by any wretch unmanly enough
to want to lnjure the good character
of another. We are to see that our
motives are pure, our principles hons
orable, and oulIoutward life governed
by them, and to go about our duty
calmly, confident that in the end they
who unjustly seek to injure US will dc
us no harm.--ET.

To-day everything in town wears
the aspect of Missouri country vii

street-gutter for the bounteous supply
of swill-neither of which exist here.
The streets are deserted, and i'll the
quiet recesses of the stores remain

stay at home while somebody else
took his girl to the picnic.
Dorsey's grove to-day is alive with
multitude of people from all points
the towns have gone to the country.
Speeches, music, target practice,
games and dancing is the program
and a fine time generally is in pro-

The stands and stalls are taking in
more money at the grove than all the
stores in Haley, and our merchants
can't stand this kind of business long
or soon petition will be circulated tc

CHARLEY CHAMBERS CAUGHT.
Lively Time Made by Marshal Robbins
in the Pursuit OF the Fugitive.

Deputy United States Marshal Or
lando Robbins arrived at Boise last
Mondy night on the Overland Stage,
with the notorious Charlie Chambers
in his custody. In thirteen days,
with nothing but the natural instincts
of his business as an inducement,
Marshal Robbins has travelled 1880
miles; going night and day by the
shortest routes, and liveliest convey
ances to be obtained. Last fall Cham
bers stopped stage in this Territory,
robbed Wells Fargo's box, and rified
the mails. He was captured and sem
fenced to nine years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary at
Boise. On the second day OF last
month he escaped he made his way
into Grant county, Oregon. He
could not remain quiet, and after hay
ing obtained gun and ammunition
at the farm of relative, again took
the road. After tiresome tramp one
night he came upon camp OF herders
and compelled them to supply him
with food and clothing. They went
into Canyon City, notified the authori-
ties and Chambers was subsequently
arrested by an armed posse. After
his arrest Chambers feigned insanity
with such good success that he de-
ceived two doctors, the committing
magistrate, and the Commissioners of
Insanity. He was sent to the Portland
Insane Asylum. Last Tuesday, Mar
shall Robbins, who was after him, az
rived in Portland. Wednesday he
went to Salem, and returned to Port
land, visited the asylum, identified his
man and Thursday set out for Boise.
Sunday night he took rest in Baker
City, this being the only stop made on
the trip.

tired out, and rather pleased than

COLONEL SING. BARNES,
His Arrival in HALEY Yesterday, and his
Capture by the Old.Timers.

Sitting on top of the Blackfoot
stage, as it rolled into Haley ycster-
day, his clothes, features and hair COW
cred beneath a thick coating of lava
dust an inch thick, was II man who, as
pioneer, prospector, miner, lobbyist
and general good fellow, is known
throughout the Pacific Coast 1t was
Sine. Barnes-Coloncl Barnes, if you
please. He hailed from Bristol, Ne
vada, this time. Leaving there for
Wood River last June, he
brought up in the city
of the saints about two months ago.
He saw green grass there for the first
time in years, and remain ed awhile to
feast Lis eyes upon it, and prospect
the Mormon community. The assays
proved it to be too low-grade to suit
him, SO he soon started for Haley,
pausng at various places on the way
to see the sights. Finally he left
Blackfoot for this new El Dorado
Ills foot no sooner struck it
sod than he was surroundet
by lot of old-timers who had me
him in some one of the numerous
mining excitements that have marked
the growth of the Coast. They cap

A new road will be built, and gate

A Successful Smclter.

The Hubb's smelter, forty-ton
galena, at Bonanza, has proved a
great success, fulfilling all the promises
of the manufacturers, and expectation
of the owners. Much delay has been
occasioned by the lack of supplies,
but these have been provided, and
long and successful run is now antici-
pated. Considering the many failures
that have been made in this kind of
mining enterprises, both in this Ter
ritory and in Colorado, it affords us
much pleasure to record such an in
stance of success. This is one of
the famous Pacific Water SHELTERS,
made by Rankin, Brayton & Co., Of
the Pacific Iron Works, in San Fran
cisco, and which is now in general
use and great favor in all the mining
districts in the country. We are glad
to know that our mining men are now
learning what has long been the
practice on the Pacific Coast, not to
experiment in machinery for reducing
ores, when well known and tried APP
pliances can be had that can be count
ed upon for success, and which in
wolves no risk to the purchaser. When
all chances regarding the manipula-
ton of ores are thus eliminated from
mining proposition, leaving only the
question of product and management
mining will soon be regarded as the
safest as we'll as the most profitable
business in the country.-New Mexi
can Mining News.

to get blocked with living
mass of hundreds Of people, and no
doors opening inward to become
damned shut. Besides, there has never
an accident happened in any perform
ance by this troupe, and there are no
flies to take fire in the scenery as there
are none there except the common
house fly.
During the season Messrs.
Phillec and Clark, while rusticating at
Seattle, in Washington Territory, were
taken down with the smallpox and
sent to the pest-house, where they
soon recovered. No other cause of
regret has ever been experienced by
the company, unless it is for the loss
of pet chipmunk which was killed.
Miss Boyd, unlike most travelling
actresses, does not carry dozens of
pets along, as grain is too expensive
and accommodation are too spare.
Outside of the members of her troupe,
the only pet is IA chipmunk which is
as cute as weasel and is ever read,
to grasp a strangers hand in his teeth
He appears to feel great pride in
being member of the company. Mr.
Welty says that they cannot exhibit
him as he is homesick, having been
brought from Australia, and is wild
fellow, who would skin out if he had q
chance.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:
In the Sun of to-day we read letter
from Idaho calling for wives. We
admire the generosity of feeling which
induces the men of Idaho, to ask for
the addresses of some manageable
ladies; and we wish they could impart
some of their good feeling to the I'M
limited number of single men in New
York. We wish our Idaho brothers
success, and will do all we can to help
them cut down the surplus of girls in
