Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1883-11-27

The movements Of the French
and Chinese, who seem to be on the
eve Of engaging in prolonged war,
are full OF interest, just now, to us OF
Wood River. The price of lead has
recently fallen to such an extent as to
justify the fear that some of our lowe,
grade mines would, If the downward
tendency was'unchecked, have to be
closed for while; but, if war is
declared between the powers above
named all the powers ever SC
remotely interested in the questions
at issue will prepare for wal
This will greatly increase the demand
for lead, and at once force it up to
oven higher figures than before.

Poisoned by q Flea.

New York Tribune.l
The rector Of a Roman Catholic
church in this city recently met with
an experience which has attracted
much attention among his medical
friends. His parish largely consists
Of tenement houses of the poorest
class. While visiting a person diving
ri smallpox he felt himself bitten by Il
Aca. He took little notice Of it at
that time, but toward evening the bite
became extremely annoying, and the
limb was much swollen: next day the
place assumed all the appearance of a
boil, and continued suppurating for 10
days. The physicians are Of tho opin.
ion that the hca had just left the body
~ the smallpox patient and had inoc-
alased the priest with the poison.

Antiquity Of Nursery Rhymes.

Many Of these productions have a
curious history. Some OF them prob
ably owe their origin to names distn-
guished in our literature; as Oliver
Goldsmith, for instance, is believed in
his earlier days to have written such
compositions. DR.. +. +. Rimbault
gives us the following particulars as to
some wcll-known favorites: "Sing a
Song of Sixpence" is as old as the 10th
century. "Three Blind Mice" is found
in music book dated 1909. "The
Frog and the Mouse" was licensed in
1880. "Three Children Sliding on
the Ice" dated from 1889. "I,ondon
Bridge is Broken Down" is an un-
fathomed antiquity. "Girls and Boys
Come Out to Play" is certainly as old
Is t. e reign Of Charles II, as is also
"Lucy Locket Lost Her Pocket to
the tune OF which the American song
of "Yankee Doodle" was written.
PUSSY Cat, Pussy Cat, Where Have
You Reen?" is of the age of Queen
Bess. "I.ittle Jack Homer" is older
than the 18th century. "The Old
Woman Tossed in a Blanket" is Of
the reign # James II, to which mon
arch 1t is supposed to allude.
