clam a Born bigger Gentleman. ;"

A story is gong the round of the London
clubs of which Luke, who was at one time
Tweed's valet, and is now the valet OF q
well-known American in London, is the
hero.
A young gentleman, fearing he might
play and drink too heavily at club he was
about to visit, induced Luke to accompany
him 70 bring him safely home. Arrived at
tho club. permission was obtained that
Luke should remain in the card room, in
stead of being sent to the servants waiting
room. As the night wore on and the play
ers became excited and bois.erous, one OF
them, who was losing largely, began swear
ing at everything in general, and at LIKE
in particular, and inquired several times,
H'whst business that id Niger hsd in
that room7" Luxe said nothing for a long
time, but, IS the young man did not seem
inclined TO drop the matter, but grew more
emphatic in his demand thst the niger De
removed, Luke inally took card from his
pocket, and with gres, dignity placed 1t or
the table, saying: There, sir, is my card.
If you want sOy satisfaction you can find
me. You are losier, sir; but am born
niger gentleman" and, while the players
were recovering from their amszement,
wslked ooolly away.

The Principal, hearing the noise, came in,
and was going to whip poor Will, but l
told him we were al as much to blame 50
Will. he made Will crave not only Jim's
pardon, but his, too, for such swkwsrdness.
OF course this ended our game of ball. We
went out in the woodshed and tried to make
a trapeze out OF spar, rotten and old, but
did not succeed. At dinner Tom Uttered

AN INJUSTICE TOIDAHO.

In an article in which list Of some
rs States and Territories, in which
iron is mined is given, in the Mining
and Scientific Press, no mention what
ever is made Of Idaho. And vet, we
have right in this region as fine iron
ore as can be found anywhere in the
world. The iron ore found near Null
doom, 20 miles from Haley, and which
is used for fux at the Little Wood
River smelling furnaces, contains
scarcely any silica, while the hematite
iron Of the East Fork, within six miles
Of Haley, contains less than one per
cent. of that rebellious substance.
The Idaho iron ore is therefore of the
most desirable in the world
Another matter which We may as
we'll mention as not is that, in CLASH
flying its items, the Press invariably
places all news from Occur d'Alcne
under the Washington Territory head
thus conveying the intimation that
that famed district is in Washington,
instead Of in Idaho. This should be
corrected.
