A LITTLE GOSSIP.

The word, of wisdom out Ct the
mouth Ct the Idaho Democrat are bling
considered. We have no wish to insul;
the good people Of Boise. 1t is true, we
are a stranger, too. But in a fur
weeks residence in Idaho we hays
learnt d that Boi SO is a good little city,
CT which its inhabitants are very proud.
We can't blame them for that. But
they must allow us to be just as proud
of Cal iwell. We think it will ia time
and O very short timeZbe a better
place than Boise, whether Boise gets a
branch road or not. The road that she
will get must start from Caldwell;
wherever Boise people wish to go by
rail, they must first CONS to Caldwell;
already, when Boise wants to buy at
wholesale, she can come to Caldwell;
in fact, Caldwell will be her base Of
supplies. But Caldwell will not be
built up at. The expense Ct BoiseEin-
deed not. Boise can stay whereeshe is,
while Caldwell grows. Caldwell viii
not build up at ~anybody's expense.
She will become the metropolis. of the
Boise valleys because she cannot help
it; because she is, primarily, located on
the spot; because she wi be the flour
cross roads, Of the rail; because she is
accessible easily from all points, either
oy rail or wagon; because her founders
md her business men are deter mined to
make her a metropolis. And a metrop-
Ills she viii be.

Tn the autobiography of ThWIow
Weed is the following: There used to
be q sharp rivalry between The A1gus
and Ercning Jot9ual to obtain the
earliest news. The earliest copy Of the
Presidents annua! .massage to Congress
was the occasior = much solicitude.
Such messages were usually received
about the close of The season Of naviga-
ton. On one Of these occasions [ went
TO New York to obtain the earliest pos
sibIe copy of President JacksOn's mes
SAGE. Mr.. Obadiah Van Beuthuysen,
one of the proprietors of The Argus,
went to New York on the same boat and
on the same errand. Colonel ]. Watson
, Webb, one of the editors Of The C0tUier
and Enquirer, had been favored with a
copy Of the message in advance of its
delivery to Congress. No other New
York paper had it. Colonel Webb, then
in political accord with The Argu8,
promised Mr.. Van Benthuysen the first
copy printed of The courier, while I
was to receive the second. The steam
boat De Witt Clinton, Captain Sherman,
by an arrangement which Mr.. Van Ben
thuvsen had made with the agent, was
to delay her departure from 5 o'clock
D. M. until Mr.. Van BenJhUysen came
on board, should he be able to do so by
II o'clock.

me Of this arrangement, adding that
his orders were to have everything in
readiness to east off his lines the mo-
ment Mr.. Van Bentluvsan could get on
board, expressing the hope that l might
also oct there before the boat was out of

The POTATO Bugs Doom.

The decline and fall of the Colorado
potato-bug should he warning to all
other insects and might even serve as a
hint to the English sparrow. Starting
from his home IN the far West, where
he had long been content to feed upon
some cheap and modest weed, his
awakened ambition carried him to every
part of the United States and even to
benighted Europe. Announcing him
self as the terrible Doryphora Decem-
lineata, and caring not a whicker for the
freedom of his country, he passed
through all the magnificent scenery Of
the Western regions and descended upon
the fertile potato patches Of thirty-six-
or perhaps thirty-seven-S States, carry
ing desolation in his path and every where
producing starvation to the human race.
The wall of the impoverished farmer was
music to his ear, and he would laugh
and make puns to the effect that he was
the great devas-tator. He had stripes
upon his back, III mockery Of the flag,
and his children were of an Indian red,
such as painters put on the Windows sash.
Scoffing at Nalthus, he multiplied and
multiplied, but he did not repIenish the
earth. For years he ruled and terror
lied. But there came Il turning point.
Other bugs began to be born or to ap-
pear, who, envying him his greatness,
formed combinations against him. 1t
was agreed that the little Iady-bug
should feed on his eggs and that an ugly,
dust-colored bug, put up like a six
cornered kite on legs and calling itself
the soIdier-bug, sLOuld jab its lance into
him on every occasion, while some kind
of a fly volunteered to buzz around and
fill him with something that he would
take into the ground with him, and that
would produce death. Still other in
sects swore they would do what they
could, and the farmers bought Paris
green, with which the potatO-vines were
sprinkIed. The result was that the
great unassisted emiGrant from Colo
RADIO. the victor of seventeen hundred
thousand fields, begap 70 so diminish
in numbers that potatoes once more
came 10 be known as an article of human
diet, and in the year 1888 he had fallen
off so vastly as to cease to be feared even
by children. Poor, ambitious fool !!
He thought to make for himself an i'm
perishable name, but he only succeeded
in spreading the name Of the insigniti-
cant State OF Colorado, which territory ne
scorucd aud abandoned. Verify, pride
goeth before a fall.

a TRAVELLERS UNIQUE DESCRIPTION
What was seen on the Trip, with Few
Remarks by the Way.

Since I came into Colorado I have
played at SNOWFALL with John Sutmon
on the last day of July. 1 have seen
ladies scrape away the snow and pick
flowers from the ground under the
snow, and have seen red ripe straw
berries picked from green bushes after
kicking off afootof snow from over them.
This is at Alpine Pass.
I have seen men on horseback along
the railroad tracks, where we have men
afoot, as track-walkers; have seen these
horsemen draw out a red flag, and ride
back daredevil gallop over the ties to
flag a train.
I have seen the ticket agent at Mar
shal's Pass, 10, 725 feet attitude sitting
by roaring fire in his office, July 30,
while outside the ladies of our excursion
were gathering wild flowers and berries,
thermometer forty-four degrees in the
shade.
/ have seen the adobe houses of the
: Moxicars ut Pueblo whcrciu was moro
dirt and fifth than over dreamed of by
an Eastern family; wherein men, wOm-
en-, girls and visitors alike sleep under
straw on Il clay floor, in the one room
which was alike kitchen, parlOr aud bed
room. 1 have seen Mexican girls with
castauets dancing faudmgo, wearing
nothing but few sunhowcrs in their
long black hair, unabashod in the pres
ence of hundred onIookers.
have seen i'll the streets of twenty
saloon towns open gambling bells, with
sign above the door, Cards and
Rum" l have seen on the streets of
Denver splendid houses, the occupation
of whose female inmates was only too
plainly indicated by transparency gas
lamp suspended in the vestibule.
Ihava seen mountains Of rocks thou
sands of feet high, with the stones az
ranged layer upon layer as if built by
mason as regularly and carefully laid,
and have been standing in the middle
of plain, fiat stone, on its edge $50
feet to the top. And [ have seen i'll the
ROYAL Gorge a mountain over 1000
feet high, and seeming one big solid
rock.
+ I have seen, and have in my satchel,
specimens of coal brought from the same
mountain, one from an anthracite vein
proving up eighty per cent. carbon,
and another of bitumiuous coal from q.
vein eight feet thick, and from tested
field of 3, 800 acres and owned by one
man.
Ihave seen a girl, dashing over the
plains on horseback, dismomt to pick
bouquet for her hat, and, calling her
Newfoundland dog, step on his back and
remount.
l have seen an open Bible lying on an
elegantly carved oak altar ut the en-
trance of q rum shop and gambling den
at Leadvilie, and above the Bible sign
painted saying: "Please, Kind Friends,
Don't Swear" Think of such an appeal,
made in such way, by the keeper OF
drinking den
[ have ridden i'll a palace car ON the
Rio Grande railroad, the name of which,
painted on its side in gilt letters, was
1.-The Blood of Jesus" followed by an
other car named Heart of the Saviour"
[ have travelled nearly 1900 miles
over territory west Of the Missouri
in land which my mind had peopled
with Indians, and have not seen single
Indian on the whole trip-not one ex-
ccpt two filthy squaws on the station
platform at Cheyenne.
