The Order of the Garter.

No British order of kDighthood dates from
so remote time as that of the existence Of
the extinct knightly orders of Europe. The
Oldest "The most noble Order of the Gar
ter" takes us back not five and half centu-
ries-its institution being moro than a genera.
tion subsequent to the suppression Of the
once heroic Order of the knights -Templar,
which, before it perished, had waxed fat and
| vicious. The blue garter either q token
in n successful skirmish, and a military
symbol, or it was the mark of playful and
happy treatment of a draw wing-room misadven-
ture. The order, therefore, NAV be said 10
lack an origin peculiarly associated with any
ancient knightly ideal. Its exclusiveness
gives to the decoration its rare prestige.
which can scarcely be said to inhere in any
respect due to knighthood, every one of the
members Of the order being possessed already
Of a superior dignity to that which knight
hood has ever claimed in the order Of world
ly precedence. Her Majesty is the chief Of
the order. which includes most of the crowned
heads of Europe, and is strictly limited in
respect to the number and status of its men,
bers. At the present moment, the gartered
knight of the lowest rank, as regards prece-
dence, is a Denagenarian viscount. II would
be prodigious TO regard this order A. in any
sense representing ordinary knighthood, al.
though it may bear the name. 1t Is, indeed,
to pay great compliment to knighthood for
personages so eminent to condescend to bear
the title; and, should they derive any addi-
tional lusire therefrom, the fact goes some
way toward verifying the statement that
knigbthood is different, not only in degree,
but in kind, from any other dignity.
An article in Philadelphia paper some
time ago contained an account Of many
wonderful clocks in the possession of Mr..
George w. Childs, Of that city. Not merely
to satisfy curiosity, but to offer q treat to the
lovers.of the exquisite in art, ''Our Cont
nent" this week illustrates the most curious
Of these beautiful tme-pieces. Mr.. Childs,
sour Continent says, would not take $780,
900 for his fifty clocks; and no wonder, IL
they are to be judged by the standard of his
parlor clock. This, il is said, weighs two
tons and stands nine feet high, onyx and
verde antique forming a base two feet square
and four feet high. On this pedestal poses a
life-size figure in silver of a woman, her
raised arm posing circular pendulum which
operates the machinery in the base. The
clock has quite history. 1t won universal
Arbitration as well az the grand prize ut the
Paris Exhibition of 1867, when LIE Grand
Lockwood bought il after q sharp bidding
with the Emperor Of Russia, and placed 1t in
bis palatiai home in Norwalk, Conn. Mr..
Childs had no little difficulty in securing this
treasure, but to obtain all that is rarest and
choicest in the world of clocks, his wealth
proved frusty second to his energy and both
outbid competitors and rival claims at the
time Of the most determined buyer of works
Of art in America.

THR Lewiston Reading and Dramatic
Club gave their advertised performance on
Monday night to full house. The different
parts were well taken, and were it not for
being invidious, we would make special men,
ton of some. The moral of the drama, by
its striking and startling realistic scenes,
carried heme to the conviction of the au-
dience, the pitfalls and snares surrounding
49, The Social Glass;" and we hope will
maze lasting impression. Mr.. Gardner
cannot bvt feel that the success was not
only due to his executive ability, but to the
very high order of intelligence in the per-
formers. Its REPETITION Tuesday night, and
the well-flled / enches, amply proved that
Iewistonians can appreciate such perfor-
mances, especially when for such a meri-
torious cause. May many such entertain
ments take place.

Replies to Mr. Green from Camas
Prairie.

CANVAS PRAIRIE, March Is, 1882.
ED. TELtER:-As you anticipated, Mr..
Green's letter has aroused much indignation
here. and doubt whether any amount of
explanation on his part will allay the re-
sentiment his repeated calumnies have pro-
voked. But it may serve to extenuate his
folly, if l mention two facts, which will
also serve to show that he is not entitled to
be considered an authority on the subject
he speaks of: lst, Mr.. Green is not q far
mer. For an income he relies partly on his
musical talents, and partly on his skill at
poker. Cd. He does not live on the prairie;
his rancho is high up on Craig's mountain.
Many thousands Of cattle and horses are to
be seen wintering on the prairie, though
none on Craig's mountain, and during the
past winter not single head has died, or
needed to be fed a fact that disposes en-.
tirely of his statements as to the depth of
snow. Only for few weeks have we had
snow enough to allow Of sleighing on all
parts Of the prairie, and then it was not
deep enough to prevent cattle from getting
at the grass Mr.. G. will not deny that
the climate of this prairie, prejudiced though
he be, is more healthy than any other he
ever met with or heard Of, and he must
see that there are scores of men here who
are worth $4,000 and upwards, and any
man who is willing to WORK may be pros
porous and independent in a few years. He
is evidently unaware that he is living in
latitude 46' N, less than TO- north of his
beloved California, and that the richest
part Of Europe with 200 millians of people,
lies north of 460, with soils less fertile and
climate less healthy and more rigorous than
ours. He ought to know that while thou
sands of Californians were ruined in the
three years, 1869, the crops here never
failed since the country was first settled,
20 years ago, and if those unfortunate Cali
fornians had exchanged all their possessions
for quarter section on Camas Prairie,
they would have been prosperous, and pro-
baby wealthy men at this moment.
Yours, etc.

Among our Eastern Washington ex-

terms the including of North Idaho,
and the people, by their vote, and by
the vote of their Representatives in the
Legislature have said North Idaho

it up it was about his own highth. This
we considered as intended to create a SEN
sation, but on the 10th inst. the same was
confirmed by Capt. Lewis, who states that
it is evidently the skeleton of white man,
that it has not lain their long, aud that II
has been Invested Of its flesh by birds and
beasts Of carnage. Possibly there has been
another horrid murder committed; at least
seems that there is no rags Of clothing to be
found by which it may be identified, which
seems to be the plan Of the late murdcrers
in order to hide their henious crimes. Al
best we can learn it lays about ten feet
above the water mark of the last rise Of
