The Blackfoot Register gives the follow
ing from a correspondent at Pocatello:
A few days ago a party of graders for the
Oregon Short Line arrived here and for
some cause were detained q few days. On
Friday afternoon about rs of them went
to the PortGeuf River to battle. While
in the water one OF the party named John
Barratt wac taken with oramps. and al
though he struggled and called for help,
no one Of nearly . dozen within 6 few feet
Of him went to his assistance, but instead
became alarmed and got out % the water
as fast as possible. He rose and sank five
times, each time coming to the surface
calling for help, but his companions de-
liberately stood on the bank and needed
not the distressing cries Of a fellow being.
After he sank to rise no more they com
menced searching for his body. Hooks
were attached TO poles and the river dragg-
ed, but nothing has been fonnd Of him up
to the present time.

The gold annually taken from the
Siberian mines is estimated to be worth
S. 600, coo. The first discovery OF the
metal in that country was made at the
beginning Of this century. The average
cost Of an expedition in search OF gold
is estimated at 50, 600. Therefore, only
capitalists can indulge in the luxury OF
experiments. one Of the principal op-
orators is said to have spent a quarter Of
a million before finding any ore. The
miner. are paid only So a month, with
board and lodging. The sale Of liquor is
forbidden within u miles from each
shaft. that discipline may be maintained.
The number OF mines has greatly in
creased since the second quarter Of the
present century, but that period was the
most prosperous in the history OF Sibe-
RAN mining. The labor Of the serfs then
cost next to nothing, though the pay Of
the workmen Is now pltiably small.

INSTANCE ON BABIES.

The value Of babies has at last been

merous family may cast up the figures
representing the cash valuation Of his
progeny with as much CELEBRITY and ease
as il they were SO many rolls of leather
or bushels Of potatoes. a child less than
one year old is worth Sl4; between one
and two years, $40; two to three
years, SOS: four years S3l; five years,
$50; six years, $40: seven years, 500;
eight years, $50; nine years, SO; ten
years, $50; eleven years, 1928. At least
these are the valuations made by a baby
insurance company of Cincinnati. The
parents pay five cents per week for the
insurance Of their children. The col
ored babies are twice as much, owing to
the darkies' two-;old abilities for con
tracing contagious diseases.

THE PRINCE OF WALES.

There is probably nothing much the
matter with the Prince of Wales, and
the Importance which has been attached
in some quarters to the circumstance that
his physician has advised him to take
the waters and, at the same time, to take
a rest at a German spa will not greatly
impress the public mind. That Albert
Edward needs a change, and that he
would be benefited by a withdrawal from
the round of social gayety, in which his
life is for the most part passed, is very
likely, but if there proves to be any
thing more than that at the bottom of
the physicians recommendation it will
be surprising.

..TuE INTERESTS OF ISLAM

1t would be interesting to have 3
specific definition of "the interests OF
Islam" in view of the difficulty which
the Sultan finds in regard to dealing with
Arab Pasha. 1t is quite evident that
being a bad nan and a good Mussulman
are not incompatible conditions; that
disobedience Of the Sultan's and hhe-
dives orders are not acts OF rebellion,
provided a Christian is defied in at least
equal proportion. THE interests of
Islam must be Of a very elastic nature,
or otherwise the Sultan and the khedive
are grossly neglectful of them when they
command submission of Arab, and yet
admit that to cease his hostility to them
and to their allies would be violation
Of the duties OF his faith. 1t is just pos
sible that there is one word in Il YER
naeular which viii adequately express
the peculiar sentence in question, and
that word is "buncomba.

The Sky in 1881.

conjunction OF Jupiter and Saturn,
upon which so many frightful pro-
phecies we're based. 1882 will be, in q
similar sense, the astronomers year
en- account of the transit of Venus.
The transit does not occur until De-
Cember, but the astronomers are
already preparing for their oOseEva-
tions of it. In fact, they began
their preparations more than twenty-
Eve years ago, 90 important is this
event to astronomical science. By
the transit of Venus is meant the
passage of that planet between the
earth and the sun so that the planet

lance to the fact that it furnishes.

have varied between So, 600, 900 miles

COnaplFing to smother His sister to Death
while Two Tramps RansacIx the store
A Strange Caao--A Well-KnOwn Lady's
Death.
Especial correspondence of the Gazctte.l
ELKFoN, MD., July 1S.-James Blair,
who lives In the Eighth district of this county
has been lodged In jail by a commitment
from Magistrate Cummings, on charge OF
attempting to rob the store of his sister,
Maggie Blair, and murder her by smothering,
on the night of July Is. II is charged that
Blair had made a conspiracy with two
tramp vagabOnds to rob her store on that
night, he (Blair) agreeing to enter her bed
room and smother her in her sleep, while
his confederates ransacked the store. Blair
did his best to carry out his part of the
conspiracy and made q violent effort to
smother his sister with the bed clothes, but
she struggled violently and In resisting him,
tore off portion of his shirt sleeve which
remained in her possession, when he re-
treated and by this she was able to identify
her assaiant. She gave an alarm and the
would-be murderers and robbers fled.
When Blair was arrested he still had on
the torn shirt, and the piece left behind
fitted the torn part. His coniederates have
not yet been arrested, but one of them will
in all probability be in jail in a day or two,
as certain statements made by the prisoner
seems to point him out. Blair, when first
arrested made several damaging statements,
but he has now become very reticent, and
refuses to converse about the matter
The GAZETTE correspondent visited him
yesterday. but he declined TO make any
statement, saying his friends outside had
advised him to talk to no one on the subject.
His sister, it is learned, will swear positively
that he is the man who attempted to smother
her, and it is said that he admitted his guilt
Just after his arrest.
A dispatch received this morning brings
the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs
Annie Taggart, wife of +. T. Taggart, a
former prominent citizen of this town and
daughter of Magistrate A. j. Scott Mrs.
Taggart died suddenly this morning at
Charlotte Hal, st. Mary's county, Maryland.
She was married on last Thanksgiving day
and had just left Elkton where she had been
making visit to her parents.
The members of the Elkton Yacht Club
held meeting and decided to take their
annual ten days cruise down the bay about
August 22. They will visit Fortress Monroe
and Cobb's Island.
The first sitting of the register OF voters
under the new law, ended last Saturday,
and about one-half of the qualified voters
have already registered in the Third (ElktOn)
district. 1t is thought that full registra-
tiOn will be made througout the entire
county and heavy vote will be polled next
November.
