James Gordon Bennett, through his
Herdtd, pledges himself to see that

something manly in that kind of talk.

A party OF hunters lust In from
ShoaIwater bay inform the Pierce
County NeWs that they found a fine
valley between the same and Cane
Flattery. 1t is about five miles wide
and seventeen miles long, and is with
out settlement, or even the appear
ance that white man had ever been
there. There are 10000 acres of fine
farming lands open to those hunting
homes.
Lewiston Teller: We are informed
that a small cayuse mare, on Lapwai,
three years ago, foaled colt, and In
about one mouth afterward foaled an
other. This spring the same animal
foaled colt, and IN about 10 days af-
terwards foaled another, one being q
morse colt and the other mare colt,
ooth living and doing well. Who
says Idaho is not productive coun-
try?
murder trial was interrupted at
Durango, Col, by the re-appearance
OF the man supposed to have been
Killed. The jury, as a matter Of course
had disagreed, and was just coming in
to report when he appeared. Talk
about the vanity Of the peacock and the
man mentioned in the papers as q
prominent citizen! 1t wasn't cir
cumstance to that Of the two or three
jurors who had stood for verdict of
acquittal; and the others wers awfully
mortified.

by hunting and trapping. He never

When the fate OF the Jeanuette was
in doubt the u. 5. exploring steamer
Rodgers was sent to look for her, and
when news was received in general
way that she was burned the Thos.
Corwin was dispatched to the rescue
OF the crew. That vessel with the res
cued crew on board has got back to
the confines Of civilization again. The
Rodgers was burned in st. Lawrence
bay on the north Siberian coast, on
the 3Oth of last November. But little
was saved beyond the personal effects
OF the crew. The natives kept the un-
fortunate men alive last winter, and
on the Sth Of last month Capt. Owens,
of the New Bedford whaler North
Star, took them off, transferring them
all in safety on the l4th to the Cor
win.

The monument in favor of Missouri's
hforile son, JESSE JAMES, will soon be
completed. 1t is 10 stand twelve feet
high on handsome base, and TO be en-
tirely constructed Of red granite. The
friends of the lamented train robber are
not disposed, il seems, to fall into the
common weakness of adopting an epi-
taph describing not what he was but
what he should have been, for upon
the shaft will be engraved a complete
list Of Mr.. JAMES heroic exploits. 1t is
said that ''the evil men do lives after
them" but il probably wise on Il epart
Of the dead hero'S admirers toperpeuate
the recollection Of his numerous deeds
in enduring marble, rather than trust
memory to carry unasSisted so great
load of evil "a Mr.. JAMES transacted.
Memory might break down under it.
The day for the public dedication Of the
monument has not yet been fixed, but
II will besome time In the early spring,
and il Is said that "the occasion will be
signalized by imposing ceremonies cal
culated to make il partake of the nature
Of q holiday throughout all Missouri"
Mr.. JAMES monument is not so extern
sivs as the late Mr.. WAsHINaTON'S
will be, but 1t is significant that he gets
It first. To his tomb the aspiring train
robber Of the future will wend his way,
and from the catalogue Of his glowing
deeds derive new zeal and fresh en-
couragement.

As Earl with Colossal Fortune In
Debts,
From the Patt Non Gn,ettc.

From the Puh MaH Gazette.
The Earl of Aylesford IL one Of those
aristocratic young gentlemen who
possess a wonderful facility for running
into debt. On the 18th of November
last his aTiairs came up before the court
of bankruptcy In London, when 1t ap.
peared that he owed GOO, 900 to the Ea-
gle Insurance Company, $4,000 to his
lawyer, $4,000 to Lord Hastings, and
about Gl4,000 to tradesmen. The mat
ter was brought before tho House Of
Lords and special act obtained and
trustees appointed to take charge Of the,
debt, amountingto ESQ, 900, to receive the
rents and raise money to pay the debts.
The earl then started for this country
on short shooting tour till Christmas.
Meantime an impatient wine merchant
filed petition in bankruptcy, alleging
that his customer had departed from
the real to defeat and delay his credi-
tors, and obtained an order appointing
a receiver. It appeared that last year
the gross income of the estates was f25,-
600, but there was nothing availible for
the unsecured creditors at present. Mr..
Registrar discharged. the receiver ap-
pointed under the petition. In all prob
ability the prices charged by the wine
merchant were such as to allow of his
waiting q year for his money without
serious damage to the profit and loss ac-
count.

largest and best rolling mills in the coun-
try, and population of 2400 has neither
depot or express Office, and even not as
much as a waiting room for passengers,

A Feminine Trait
Enoan The Chfcnoo Ii1hnH<

A mans foes are those Of his own
household, and the keenest enemies Of
women are women themselves. No
one can inflict such humiliation on o
woman as q woman can when she
chooses; for II the art of high-handed
snubbing belongs to men, that of sub
tie wounding Is peculiarly feminine,
and Is practiced by the best bred of the
sex. Women are always more or less
antagonistic to each other. They are
gregarious In fashion and cumulative In
follies, but they cannot combine; they
never support their weak sisters; they
shrink from those who are stronger
than the average, and IL they would
speak the truth boldly, they would con-
fess to a radical contempt for each
others intellect, which perhaps is the
real reason why the sect Of the ''eman-
cipated" commands 30 small follow
ing. Half q dozen men advocating
emancipation" doctrines would do
more toward leaving the whole bulk Of
womankind than any number Of first
class women. Where they do stand
by each other 1t is from instructive OF
personal affection rather than from
class solidarity. And this IL one Of the
most striking distinctions ofthe sex,
and one cause among others why men
have the upper hand, and why they are
able to keep IL,

Of TIE audience were more to- hsr than her
home. There was row, and some OF the
lady's near relatives went East to dissuAde
her from her returning 10 the profession;
but they could do nothing. Her action
was the cause Of misunderstanding with
her husband. Possibly there has been .
decentralization
