A First HALLWAY Ride.

\ young lady well known on Wood
river, who was born and raised in Idaho
and had never seen a steamboat or ,lway
car, recently LEV for a trip south, and much
interest was expressed here by her friends
rs to her first impressions of the outer
world. She always evinced such an even
demeanor that many friends believed she
would pass as an old traveller, but letter
just received from her escort proves that a
young lady, even one of Idsho's airsst.
and one that calmly re'ards the wild In.
dim on the warpath, is unequal to the oc
casion Of calmly passing through the sur
prises of modern progress.
She became skittish at the approach of
the evening lightning express, with the
great hulls.eye headlight, and actually
pranced when the train neared the depot
and blew shrill whistle. Ter friends
could not quiet her or coax her, and finally,
rather than DO LETT, they bindiolded the
young lady. and by main force landed her
safely on the train. The letter remarks 10
was fortunate the windows were SO small,
rs she frequently attempted 10 get out, and
could not be convinced that the telegraph
"oles, the hills and houses were not ali
whirling past her as she sat In tho chr, and
every time they crossed bridge she shut
her eyes, believing the cars were flying in
the mir across the river.-TWood River

cratic part OF his reimbursement. The
great orator was there 10 explain his policy,
Ia a way 10 meet the attacks WI lch the
press was beginning o make. In the lnyl-
tatious, of which ABOUT SO were Issued,
the hour stated was { O'clock. This was
understood To mean halfpast seven. But
the dinner was not served until half-past
eight. Gamhetta had not come. The
landlord insisted uuon not waiting
any longer Two places were
Kept vacant at the table OF
honor. At nine "the guest OF the evening
and Sp,'ller entered TO I'LL them. Whether
habituated at the Paais Bourbon to the
dishes OF TrOmpeIte, they had grown TOO
dainty for the PLAN cooking OF Menllmon-
tanl, or tor what other reason, it does not
appear. Chey had both dined with few
friends ~ a restaurant. They did not AT
the banquet even 20 through the polite
comedy Of pretending to eat. No apology
was Offered either at the time, nor alter
ward In the press; = polite no, though
transparent one, would have Gained irrita
ton. Punctud,ity, it Was remarked soto
voce, was the politeuess of kings; but the
elect of millions thought themselves
higher than the born sovereigns.
The speech which followed the banquet
was listened to with icy colGness. The
orator went back to the petit bourbon
heavy and disconnected. He d for ten
years given mighty impulsion in demo-
cratic sense Ministers had been made TO
feel that universal suffrage Yves erything,
and the executive but its instrument. As
president of the budget committee, he had
| made them realize that power OF tn purse
was vested in the chambers, and he had
hotly contested the position Of NJ. Jules
Simon that the senate mad a right TO amend
the budget. lie had agitated for revision
of the judicial bench, and the democratiza.
round aud attempted to push back the or
rent which he had set flowing. Its impetus
was too great for him To Withstand, and it
| has pursued It's course bearing with it other
men OF less renown.-I March Century.

Cholera in Chiapas.

The Government organ of the State of Chi
apas, Mexico, publishes long article on
cholera, which has scOurged the southern part
Of the State, and which has not yet dlsaP-
peared. The general government is imPlored
10 render assistance, as the number OF victims
is immense, and misery and want reign su,,
preme, wherever the epidemic has ragged
fiercely.
Sanitary cordonS were established around
the Terra Calente region, where this spo
radio outbreak Of cholera ragged with the
fercest intensity. Cold and temperate regions
were not affected.
The town of Tuxtla had 5000 inhabitants,
600 of whom are dead; of 5000 in Tonala
upwards of 1000 are dead. The town Of
Chiapas suffered most severely, 20 10 80 per
sons dying daily.

Our Barbarous Prison system.

From the New York Sun.
The abuses and stupidities of our system of
punishment for criminals are SO great and
numerous, and its administration is so bad in
very important particulars, that civilized
society ought to compel reform of the evils
in order to justify its pretensions to enlighten
humanity-to common sense even.
However much we may have advanced in
other directions, we are still far behind the
best European practice, so far behind as con-
Germs penal justice and the treatment of GRIM
nals. The condition of things is not so dis
graceful as it was in the days when De Tocaue-
vile said, 1.-The jails of the United States
are the worst l have ever seen," but it is bad
enough yet. There has been great improve
ment in certain institutions and among certain
communities, it is true, but our common
county jails, even in the State Of New York,
are still wretched hal6tations, for the most
part, where the inmates are confirmed in
viscious habits, so that when they turned
loose, the crime into which, perhaps, they
only casually fell, becomes their regular pro.
ession. They are made chronic and bittei
enemies of society.
