TIT Eagle and the Gaae kewls.
fSan Fnncisco Call

An American eagle, trapped on one
of the islands opposite Santa Barabs,
was sold to Q game fowl fancier, who
put it in his chicken park. Suddenly
one Of the fowls flew ct the eagle and
struck il ON the wings. The eagle
merely looked at the little chanticleer
with curious, inquisitive glance. Then
another game fowl struck him in the
breast, while the first hit him ON the
neck. The eagle now opened his wings
with leisurely swing and erected his
chest feathers, and his eyes seemed to
blaze. Again one of the fowls rushed
recklessly at the eagle, grssping q
bunch OF feathers in its attack.
Before il recovered from its charge the
eagle extended one of its talons and
seized the cock by the neck, and. with
q dexterous swing, laid il Tutoring
and quivering beneath its left foot.
The second cock now charged upon the
huge stranger, whose wings were half
opened and lazily rising and falling.
As the cock struck it was met with O
blow from the eagles wing, and a. it
fell was caught in his talons and laid
dying upon the ground. The victor did
not appear to be excited, and after thus
disposing of its troublesome sdversaries
lszily stepped to one side and seemed
to relapse into reflection, every once in
O while looking down indifferently upon
the dead fowls lying at his feet.

sealing Wax FOR LetterA

place Of sealing wax was seductive

eagerly adopted that method because it
was quick and handy. II is much easier
to run your tongue along the flap of an

than it is to heat the wax and close the

"But it has now come to be slowly

themselves Of your secrets by peering

"A pretty feature Of the use Of seal

Seal rings are plenty enough, and if
you have not seal ring, You may use
a coin, or bangle, or any rough sur

WOMEN ROMANCeRS.

The Imaginary Cesssr whe Has
Helped to Edit The New YorL
Ledger.
New York Cor indianapolis Times
The Ledger's most popular writer's
with q few exceptions, have been
women. Mr.. Bonner has really done q
great deal toward giving women an
equal chance with men, and ct time
too, when the public was unaccustomed
to receiving instruction or amusement
from any but male authors. Mrs
Sigourney was the first woman he ever
employed as o writer. At that time
there was no one Of either sex who could
give more dignity to publication than
she. Alice and Phebe Cary, and many
other women, whose names afterward
became famous, helped make The
Ledger.
asked Mr.. Bonner il he did not
think that one of the secrets of The
Ledger's great success was the fact that
it had SO strong corps of women writ.
ers; as women who had any literary skill
whatever, usually possessed the faculty
OF their own sex, and it was an undeni-
able truth that where women are largely
interested in apaper its destiny is favor
ably fixed beyond peradventure.
He thought they had been of great
advantage, but said he had never been
quite certain what the handspring of
The Ledger's luck had been. but was
inclined to think it was its high moral
tone. He had been continuously
watchful to keep everything out of its
columns which any one of the very
highest moral sensibility could object
to. In order to make sure that the
standard could not be lowered, he en-
ployed an imaginary censor, who
sat in Judgment severe but honest,
upon every line printed. The
person who filled this responsible and
exalted position was q mythical old lady
who belonged to DIR. Potts church. then
the very stronghold Of the most conven-
tional piety. The manuscript reader
was instructed to eliminate everything
the imaginary censor could possibly
think unfit to read to her children and
grandchildren. Everything the reader
passes upon favorably Mr.. Bonner after
ward reads, correcting, erasing and in.
terlining, in order to give it all that
peculiar and distinctive tone which
can only be obtained by con.
formity to one mind. Frequently
he finds something to expunge after
the reader has done his work. He
draws his pen over il and writes on the
margin: The old lady would be sure
to object to this" or, "The old lady
does not approve of this" and returns
il to the reader, that he may be guided in
future by two marginal comments, which
are supposed to be the direct opinion
of the imaginary censor. Mr.. Bonner,
the reader and the good old lady make
mp The Ledger's editorial staff. the old
lady's authority being always consid-
cred the highest.
Public taste has changed wonderfully
within twenty-five years, but the old
lady still holds her position as supreme
censor in The Ledger Office, and her
Judgment is just rs severe rs it ever
was. Indeed, nothing pertaining to
The Ledger has been changed since its
early days. Il runs the same depart
ments, the same style of stories often
by the same writer's, who, being we'll
paid, are also long-lived.

lrippied the Engine.

The Brunswick Ca Herald says
that some malicious fellow whom the

The night express train, that came

The Statesman says Judge Buck,
y. 5. Marshal Dubois and u. S. Dis
trlct Attorney White made the trip
from Lewiston to Boise by rail, ex-
oept fifty miles of staging from the
former place to Colfax, and fifteen
miles from the 0. S. L. to Boise.
They travelled on the Northern Pa
ciflc, Utah Northern and O. S. L.
The distance between Boise City and
Lewiston by the route travelled is
about 1900 miles, instead of 500
miles by stage as formerly travelled
across the country, or the $50 miles
by the trail across the mountains.
The Portland Oregonian says the
Union Pacific movements are being
watched with interest, it being ex-
pected to strike Portland with its own
line, the O. S. L., or by way Of the
0. r. & N. The latter company,
backed by Portland, is said to be
straining every nerve to bring the
Union Pacifc's O. S. L. branch to a
connection with it's branch, on Burnt
river, permanently. But the general
belief is that the Union Pacific will
continue their line down Snake river
to Lewiston, and then cut across the
mountains to Puget Sound.
CONGRESS lent it's aid to the North.
ern Pacific railroad company upor
conditions that the main line should
cross the Cascade mountains to Puge
Sound and a branch should go tx
| Portland. 1t now seems that this i
the plan of the company. Withou
complying with these conditions tn,
grants made by Congress would re
vert back to the Government, in tn
absence of convincing arguments b,
the company as to the injustice Of tn
withdrawal of aid, and the chink Q
shekels is the essence of argument
of railroad magnates brought to bea
upon Congressman, and the argu
ments are most always strong to tn
convincing point. But since tn
downfall of the great Willard NORTH
ern Pacific affairs have taken a tur
that makes it appear, backed by goo
reasons, that the.road will cross tn
Cascade mountains and bring up ;
the Sound, but not for the purpose {
complying with the conditions lai
down, the compliance being merel
incidental. The actions of this con
: pany heretofore go to show that the
