GENTLE APKING.

English sparrows on the wing,
Sauak and squak but never sing;
All day long they're quarreing-
You are coming gentle Spring.
Now the wasp, awakening,
Furnishes his rusty sting;
Soon he'll prod his probing thing
In some boy--O gentle Spring.
To the caves the icicles cling,
Balmy days pneumonia bring
Frosted noses blossoming
Say your coming, gentle Spring.
On the fence the pastors sling,
Gaudy pictures Of the ring;
High the bareback riders fling
Undraped limbs like every thing.
High the strong rinosterpop ding
Heaves the hi-pup on. the-omnibus (cling)
While the white camelopard (ring)
Browses on the old hair trunk Spring.

In the Harvard College library dozen

Eat women should organize a crusade

any styles suitable for them. Justice

Adjournment Notes.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-Congress
adjourned very quietly to-day. In
the senate when the closing hour mr.
rived it found not more than twenty
five senators present, and in the house
when the speaker declared that body
adjourned sine die less than four score
members were in their places to hear
him. The last hours of the session
were as uninteresting as could be imag
med. 1t is rarely that a session OF
congress expires without the accom-.
panilnsnt of full galleries To-day
attendanbe in the galleries could almost
be reckcned within q hundred, while
in the house there were only about
double that number present. In the
house, contrary to the usual custom,
no resolution OF thanks for the speake,
was offered, an omission which excit
ed much comment

possible that 5fai Manning 5 candidacy
would tend to heal the breach made
there q. some Of the previous eicc.
tons" Now if there is anyone Of
I the foregoing that would lead Us to
doubt the Majors fealty to the north
ern question of annexation, it is the
endorsement given to him by Milton
Kelly, Of the Statesman. The south
orn republicans have shown their dis
position to make peace with the north
by DISTINGUISHING all republican voters
of the northern counties but about 80
and allowing US but two delegates in
HE nominating convention, where we
should have at least five from Nez
Perez county and now the organ Of
that coterio make their selection Of 4
northern citizen os a candidate, whoia
they think they can mould to suit
their wishes (and we don't know but
they think rightly and then expects
US to support him, and tells us that
they do fairly 10y the north.
With such an endorsement as the
Boise Statesman, Mr.. Manning could
not poll as many votes in all North
Idaho as did Aanson Smith, who had
hardly enough to make tally on the
poll list. This VIII lie matter of sug-
costing the Majors name is tahy on
the part Of the south, to tickle Man
ming himself and to make q showing
abroad that the south are willing to
concede candidate to the north
Why, if they intend to be sincere with
us why don't they suggest that we
nominate our own man, whom we
choose and then promise him their
support We are not all fools here at
the north, nor viii we he Inclined to
follow the leadership Of such in any
election If we know them. The facts
are, the southern republicans under
the leadership of such men as Kelly,
want US to send delegates to nomina
ting convention at Boise so that they
can the more eirectually swindle US, and
if Mr.. Manning thinks they are sin
cere in their overtures to him, he is
greatly lacking in that part of the
head where the brains ought to be
found. North idaho has too much at
stake to be tempered with by any such
crowd, and not have her true position
vindicated and DEFENDED, let him fall
who may.
