 With each issue the HHibl,sh con,in- ued to become better known News stands in distant towns began to order it. and its outside" subscription list was constantly growing. It was copied all over the country, and soon won its way to the front rank of humorous journalism.

 The wedding was very simple. Jack and his journalistic wife began house keeping within day. They had ex- pected happiness. and of course were not surprised: and. if at all, with more hap piness than they had expected. Jack at tended to the business of the office. and his wife continued her editorial work.
 One night while Jack was posting up his books, glancing occasionally at his wife, who was engaged in writing a leader he suddenly threw down his pen and said:
 Hang it-you needn't excuse me un- less you want to-there is one thing about this business that don't exactly like. You arc getting all the credit. The public regard me as only book keeper

JOE GARRISON.
An Old PrOspcctOr Who Complains that
Things Are Not Gas They Used to
nn

Joe Garrison was in town Friday.
He has been ''exporting" mines
again in Lees gulch, Bullion, and in
other localities, and expects to make
a boom next summer. Joe is almost
as much of pathfinder as John c.
Fremont. and strikes out every time
on a new course throuoh the wild for
ests. He dresses in skins and iurs,
and might be mistaken by amateur
spol tsmen for wild animal. 1t is to
be hoped such mistake will never be
made. Joe is determined to hunt
around and uncover all the hidden
treasures of these pats. He is an ex
pert, and can run as straight lines,
and measure as accurately as any min
ing engineer. He believes implicitly
in the ultimate outcome of Wood
River in general, and his own mines
in particular. Having abandoned In
dian hunting for the occupation of a
prospector, it is 10 be hoped he may
make his pile next summer and aban-
don the wilds of Idaho for professor
ship in some center Of civilization, as
he believes that prospectors are not
what they used TO be, nor are mining
camps as of old. Jumping mine To-
cations, he thinks, is becoming too
general and common to be respecta-
Die. Joe has made record, and
should retire to some garden-spot and
enjoy the waning years of life ere he is
called on to pass in his checks.

morrow evening or Monday morning.
1t was known that Mrs. Newton had
a very valuable diamond ring. and the
fact that the bolts of the door-lock
show that the door was not fastened,
almost dispels the idea that the fire
was not accidental. Still, the position
of the body indicates that the victim
was trying to escape, and had reached
the door. 1t is possible, but not very
probable, that the house may have
been burned to conceal the horrible
crime of some one unknown.
The house and furniture belonged
to o. S. Glenn, proprietor of Glenn's
sawmill, in Camas Prairie, and the loss
was considerable.
The Coroner's jury have finished

NEW ORLEANS NOTES.
The Lower Half Of the City Flooded
Mrs. Baclle's Narrow Escape.

Oscar Dache writes from New
Orleans, under date of January 20,
that nearly all the lower part Of the
city is flooded, and the principal, if not
the only means Of communication is
by fiat boats. On the day preceding
that on which the letter was written,
as the family were standing on the
front piazza, looking out on the flood
ed city, huge moccasin snake, five
feet long, crawled from under the pi-
azza and darted at Mrs. Bache, barely
missing that lady, who thus escaped a
horrible and almost instant death, as
the bite of that snake is inevitably
and swiftly fatal. MIR. and Mrs.
Bache will leave for Haley on Ash
"Wednesday, February :, and expect
to be back here by the 25th of Fcbru-
airy. They are having splendid
time, eating oranges and bananas
which they pick from the trees them
selves, as they want them.
1--WE are looking for Mr.. and Mrs
Greenhow, for the Mardi Gras," the
letter concludes.

ion passing before his eyes.
The death of a healthy person is al

accident, where persons know that they
must die in very short time, unless
the shock has been very great, they

comparative composure."

everybody remembers the dying Joke
of Robert Burns-'Don't let the awk-
ward squad fire over me-"
1T must be remembered, however.
that what are called the last words Of
great men may have been uttered q con-
siderable time before death-either
hours or days. Some allowance must
be made for the impossibility of procur-
ing testimony. When the late DR..
Beard died, after having become widely
known as an intelligent and educated
skeptic, his sister proclaimed that he
had recanted on his death bed, and had
indicated his hope of heaven by point

How a Lawyer Author Gave Him
self AWAY


Professor Swing, of Chicago, in an
address at the Acton. Ind, assemblage
last week approved of judicious novel
reading, and told this anecdote: 81
heard of a Chicago lawyer once whose
wife read two novels to him while he
was sick, and he said to her: L have
been entirely too much wrapped up in
law, and have forgotten almost every
thing else. When l get we'll shall Law
aside my statues and write a novel,"
and so he did. The first chapter told
about nice young man and a pretty
young woman The second. told
how they met and fell in love. The
third, a very pretty chapter, told how
they took walk together in the even
ing and how they got outside the town
because the sun went down and they
couldn't see the corporation line. It
was a very romantic story, but he
spoiled it in the next chapter. After
the lovers were appropriately seated in
the shade of a spreading oak, although
it was night, the young man said:
adelaide, can no longer conceal my
feelings. l love you madly ,distractedly,
wildly. I cannot live without you.
Your image is in my heart by night and
by day, and without you my life is in
complete" Now, that was all very
pretty, but-would you believe 1.-THE
lawyer commenced that maiden'e
answer to that burning declaration with:
The other party responded substan-
TALLY as follows" and that took away all

Value ofGrasses.

Prof. ]. B. Killsbrew, who has made
grasses study, claims that the "ac-
knowledged superiority of English cat
tie, sheep and other domestic animals,
over those of France, or any other
country, for that matter. is due more to
the superiority in the quality and
quantity of the meadows and pastures
than to anything else" The statement
that the amount of grass grown will give
the measure of the degree of advance
ment to which agriculture has reached,
holds good, however, only of the culti-
waited grasses. Gas low and humble as
grass appears, it comprises about one
sixth of all the vegetation of the world, :"
says the professor, ''and nourishes more
animals than all other food combined,
and furnishes all the elements for ami
NAL growth"
Timothy, in this report, is placed at
the head of all grasses in its nutritive
qualities, but it cannot be pastured in
safety nor must it be cut below the first
joint with scythe or machine. Red top
is given the second place in importance
among the cultivated grasses, it being
the most permanent grass grown. yet
orchard grass is diff'used more extern
sively than any other grasses, growing
all over Europe, the northwestern part
of Africa and in Asia Minor. 1t grows
everywhere between IS and AZ degrees
north latitude.

Life OF Weed Seeds.

A writer in one of the eastern agricul.
tural contemporaries thinks there is no
use of trying to exterminate weeds, as
the soil is full of the seeds, "down to
bed rock" where they were deposited
ages ago, and remain dormant until
turned up by the plow or other imple-
ments used in cultivating the soil. This
is certainly good excuse for lazy man
but the theory advanced will not bear
the test Of science or practice. Weed
seeds will not live for ever, or any con-
siderable number of years in the soil,
and if they were deposited iu the earth
during the glacial period, or during any
other ancient period they would
spring up on the newly turned soil on
the western prairies, or even upon
land recently cleared Of timber; but the
pestiferous weeds never appear upon
new lands until introduced with grain,
grass or the droppings of stock. TIE
old adage of zone years seeding makes
nine years wedding" is very true one
and it is pity that more of our farm
ers and gardeners do not heed it, instead
of seeking some excuse for allowing
weeds to grow and mature their seed.s

Precautions Against tine cholera.

= SA~sAVAAC 316ssAASO gAAO SuUIcTkSs
Now, as always when the question
arises as to the measures to be taken
against an anticipated epidemic, the
newspapers are dwelling on the matter
Of the filthy condition of the streets, and
in this country and Great Britain the
most prominent topic of inquiry in con-
nection with the possible access of chol-
era is as to what sanitary condition vari-
GUS places would be found to be in should
the disease visit them. It is all verv
we'll to attend to cleanliness, not only
when an epidemic threatens, but at III
times; But it is sheer folly to bring that
consideration into the fore ground as
being of the slightest avail under such
circumstances as an impending invasion
of cholera. Cholera undoubtedly runs
riot in filth, but, unfortunately, itshows
the same luxuriance in the cleanest of
towns. The road to safety lies not in
giving the disease chilling reception on
its arrival. but in not allowing it to ar
rive.
The deplorable feature in the tenden-
CIV alluded to is the fact that it leads to
neglect of the only measures that are of
any real use. 1t even leads to deprecia-
ton Of the value ofquarantine measures.
Public opinion, the utmost support of
which is always needed in matters of
sanitation, is thus lulled into indiffer-
ence to the necessary restrictions on
commerce, and fails to oppose the OBJ
structiveness of trade. AS the Nation
lately remarked, quarantine may never
yet haye stopped the march OF cholera.
There is good reason to think, however,
that it has. At all events, an extension
of the quarantine idea is all we can de.
pend upon to keep the disease ut bay.
1t is. therefore, exceedingly satisfactory
and reassuring to learn that our govern
ment, at the suggestion of the surgeon
general of the Marine hospital service,
suls at British ports to take measures for
the sanitary inspection of vessels bound
for this country. Over and over again
have epidemics stolen march on those
who were busy in pooh-poohlng the
possibility of their arrival. While, then,
as has before been stated in this journal
there is no present occasion for alarm,
there is every occasion for vigilance
