A recent writer on the emotions Of in
fants says: Curiosity shows itself the
minute a child begins TO take interest in
other things besides its food and when,
though it still carries everything to its
mouth, it does so merely because the tongue
is the finest as well as the most exercised
organ of touch. At this stage the child
handles things, looks at them closely, pulls
them to pieces, and SO il playing instructs
himself

AN HONEST LOBBY.

Colonel Irish next pointed with qualification
10 what he believed was the only honest lobby
ing committee at the last session of the Legisla-
ture. It was composed Of farmers from Placer
county, who left their plows 10 visit Sacramento.
They had been receiving machinery and goods
shipped by rail from San Francisco, and in the
reduced freight rates found good cause for salts
faction. They brought their freight receipts,
and some dated back to days before the reduc-
tons enforced by Carpenter and Humphreys
and through all the session they stayed in Sac,
ramento and lobbied honestly in behalf of Car
penter and Humphreys, Their feeling was IN
Indication OF that which existed among tbo;l-
sands of other well-informed and intelligent
farmers. Two years ago the Democracy of this
State with big majorities carried the chosen
cities of the Republicans-Sacramento Stock

Colonel Irish then spoke of the action Of Speu-
Ger, Barry and Sullivan on the Barry bill, and
added that Barry was the Sarah Althea Of the

it was only a forgery. Sullivan was the Mrs

In writing Of the Barry bill, Mr. Greathouse had

mere commercial distinction, the amendment

framed it, and it was full of tendencies to tram

WE publish elsewhere extracts from

ING on in this, the lst congressional
district. The contest seems to lie be-
tween Grout and Hooker, with posi-
bly the young and brilliant Dillingham;
stopping in at the l1th hour and bearing
off the prize. For our own part, while
we would like to sec Windham Co.
present the successful man, we have
no disposition to see this district repre-
sentcd by political wire pullcr, whose
only hope of success lies in the ability
of his friends to manipulate the eau
cuss'.
Hon. J. NJ. Tyler is mentioned, and
there is no doubt but the people of
Windham Co., if left to their free
choice, would gladly present him as
their candidate. Hon. c. b. Eddy of
Bellows Falls, Hon. B. ID. Harris and
Hon. Kitridgc Ilaskins of Brattleboro
are gentlemen that would honor the
district by doing the solid work OF
Congress and their constituents, and
not soiling their hands with dirty po-
litical work.
