The nisa.rccMble Woman.

As general thing it is the woman
who has been in one way or another
disappointed in life, who becomes u fail
ure in the way of friendship. From
the wreck OF personal ambition she has
saved only unfuliillcd hopes. She feels
herself largely tho victim of cireum-
stances. She is conscious Of the powers
that with il very little different comhin-
alton would have wrought ont wholly
different life, and she holds all her
social circle responsible for it. She
feels herself to he the peer Of reigning
social powers, and very likely she il,
and is even their superior in many
things. Yet the perpetual centripetal
force Of her nature has limited her to n
narrow sphere, and she vainlv blames
society for that note Of failure which is
inherent in herself
1t is this type of woman who. comes
to develop capacity for saying dis
agreeable things. They are nothing to
relate, mere pin-rricks; but. like those,
they make you corrcspondingly uncom-
Portable. For direct insult there is
always direct redress: for tho person
who merely says occasional disagree
able things there is only one Of two
ways; either to I've SO generous and mag
unanimous ms to utterly neutralize and
ignore it. or else to drop the outward
form of intercourse and relieve yourself
from the annoyance. The former way
is the better. Nine times out OF ten the
woman who is disagreeable is merely
disappointed and unhappy, and needs

The Ketchum keystone, a Haley or.
gan, in speaking Of Binsham's affidavit
says:
The affidavit business is always recog.
nized o. last Iesort-a kind Of forlorn
hope, last sinking struggle to raise again.
Il has become too common. 1t is always
sprung at time when the victim has
little opportunity to set himself right. 1t
is q mean, contemplate manner Of war
fare, and should be discouutenanced by
the honest voters Of both parties. The
party to the affidavit is unworthy Of no.
tice or Of no good character; it is his stock
in trade; he is always knowing something
nobody else knows or even dreamed Of
until be springs it.
What then must be the character of a
candidate who, like HALEY, rides of Is
miles into adjoining Territory to pro-
cure defamatory affidavit, for money,
from fugitive from justice. against his
opponent and have it published just be-
fore election when his opponent is absent
and cannot reply.

Boise CRY, Idaho. Oct. q. 1884.

BOISE CRY, Idaho, Oct, 81, 1884.
Hon. Jas. L. Onderdonk, Chairman
Republican Territorial Committee:
My DEAR SHINY attention has
been called to affidavits Of one Curt:
Estes, appearing in the Idaho Democrat
recently, in which he charges me with
having appropriated specimens intended
for the Denver Exposition to my own
use, &c. In reply l beg leave to say that
DO specimens of any description wha,so-
ever from Estes or any one else ever came
into my Possession for the Denver Ex-
position, or for any other purpose. Such
specimens were collected from different
sections by local agents and forwarded
direct by express to Denver. So far as
the Exposition itself is concerned, never
attended it, for the reason that some time
after my appointment as Commissioner l
received the Republican nomination for
Congess, which fact, in addition to other
duties prevented my going to the Exhi-
bitiUn.
In regard to the other affidavit stating
that made certain contract with him
and read it differently from what it was,
l have only to say that the contract re-
ferred to was drawn by Hon. Geo. Ain
size, one Of the parties to it, and in his
handwriting, and was read and explained
to Estes BY Mr.. Ainslie. The contract
is in this city and can be produced if any
one has desire to see it.
Estes is known about Bonanza as a
man devoid Of principle, aud at times
somewhat shaky in the upper story. The
animus of Estes production emanates
from the fact that certain mortgage on
his property in which l am partially in
terested becomes due November lst, and
he has not, am told, the money to meet
it. Possibly this affidavit may have been
purchased just as the Bingham affidavit
was. At any rate both are devoid Of
truth, and show to what desperate straits
Mr.. HALEY and his crowd are willing to
resort, to carry the election. But the
people will not be misled by utilization
and abuse from the living and vital issues
now before them, and l can assure my
defamers that will not be drawn from
the issues Of the campaign to reply to
reply to base personal SANDERS of myself.
Very respectfully,
+. +. SINGIsER.

The Perfect Standard.

Sermon at the North Church-EcelesIas-
 ttcal Council.
 A good audience at the forenoon service met for worship at the North church and listened with deep attention to the pastors sermon from the text II Cor, 12 It was upon the selfish human standard of judgment and the divine and perfect standard of Christ the Savior. The true and exemplary charac- ter of the apostle Paul was briefly alluded to in contrast with the character imputed to him by his enemies. They ridiculed his personal appearance and address as mean, though obliged to acknowleds the force power and dignity of his writing. EIevating themselves on their own self esteem they made it the only standard of merit by which to judge others. The mild rebuke of Paul to such reasoning as ''not wise," and it's sar- casm, deservedly apply to this numerous class who revile sacred things. To neglect and scorn the great salvation, and to with low standards of life and duty, looking only at human imperfections we are warned agains by this lesson of the text. It reads live in the revision of the New Testament "For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend them selves, but they themselves measuring them selves by themselves and comparing them selves with themselves are without under standing" Also in the last verse of the chapter, For not he that commendeth himself is approved but whom the Lord commend eth.' That beautiful hymn of Watts' My Dear Redeemer and my Lord, read my duty in thy word, ," etc, was sung at the close of the sermon. The last stanza of the hymn was commended in the concluding prayer, as breathing the Christian desire.
 'tBe thou my pattern; make me hear More of thy gracious image here.''
 Notices of the Third church council to act on Dr. Dennen's resignation, and of tho Ool- lege street church on Dr. McLean's installa- tion, were given.

Farmer Merwin in Court.

The Great Woodbridge ScandaI-An Ad-
 JOurnment for One Week.
 On Saturday in the basement of the Con- gregational church in Woodbridge, Nathan C. Merwin was charged before Justice Warner with seduction and fornication. MT. Merwin is about fifty of years age. He lost his wife about year ago. The complainant and principal witness was Jennie R Downes, who was the ward of MT. Merwin. The girl tes- tified that shortly after the death of MT. Mer- wins wife he made improper proposals to her, took strange liberties with her person and accomplished her ruin.
 Dr. Wright, of Hamden, testified that MT. Merwin had paid the girls bill for medical attendance. She at that time said that Paige was the father Of her child.
 The complainant testified that she had in- deed said that George Paige was responsible for the child's paternity, but that she had been persuaded to say so by Merwin, who was the real father. On cross-examination the complainant admitted that she had per- mitted liberties from another person than the accused. She admitted that during an interview with Merwin in this city her mother attempted to persuade the accused to pay $2, GOO, which he refused to pay. This was the substance of the evidence after hear ing which the trial was postponed until 8 further hearing next Saturday.
