The Lost Rivers Of Idaho.

One of the most singular features in
the scenery of the territory of Idaho is
the occurrence Of dark, rocky chasms,
into which creeks and large streams
suddenly disappear and are never more
seen. The assures are old lava chan
nels produced by the outside of the
mass cooling and forming n tube,
which, when the fiery stream was ex-
hausted, has been left empty, whilst
the roof of the lava duct, having at
some point fallen In, presents there the
opening into which the river plunges
and is lost. At one place along the
banks of the Snake, one of these rivers
appear, gushing from cleft high up
in the basaltic walls, where 1t leaps q
cataract into the torrent below. Where
this stream has its origin, or at what
point 1t is swallowed up is absolutely
unknown, ahough 1t Is believed that its
sources are q long way up In the north
country. Besides becoming the chan
nels of living streams, the lava con-
duits are frequently found impacted
with the ice masses which never entire

croaching upon free territory, and for
the avowed purpose Of preventing the

THE POLITICAL POT BOILING,

Politicians will make things lively
up to the election in November next.
There are people who deplore the
commencement of new season of
political agitation, but, after all, the
effect is wholesale upon our national
life. Anything is better than stagna-
ton. There is an impression that
Presidential years give bad business
results, but, on the contrary, it has
been proved that the years in which
we have elected our chief magistrates
have been noted for activity in gen
eral trade. Elections have their edu-
cational uses. The discussions Incl
cident to the antagonisms of parties
enlightened the mass of our popular
ton on questions vital to the inter
ests of the country. The nomination
of James G. Blaine as the candidate
of the Republican party was very
significant circumstance. Heretofore
in the history of our country. the
great historic parties have generally
chosen second-rate men, whose
views on burning" questions were
unknown; but Mr.. Blaine is no "dark
horse He is confessedly man of
marked ability who has nothing to
conceal. Indeed, it is charged against
him that he will be an unsafe man,
because Of his fearlessness and au.
dacity. His nomination, therefore,
would seem to indicate that the
American people are willing to try
the experiment of putting thier
strongest men in nomination for the
Presidential chair.-From Demorest's

How congressman Dress.

The republicans are the best-dressed
people in both the Senate and House.
They have better-kept boards, sleek
faces, and look as though they had
from ~ to IS in change in their
pockets. They look as though they
think more of public matters than
about how to save $4,000 per annum
out OF IS, 600 salary. They wear good
clothes and polished shoes, and walk
with the air of men confident of posi-
ton, and above making the matter of
personal appearance matter of study.
They leave external matters to good
tailors and bootmakers, pay the bills,
eat good beef and trimmings, shave
often, and have Their heads shampooed,
so as to quicken clear thought and
smell sweet to their friends and wives.
Some of the democrats are just as well
kept and glide through the House like
gentlemen. Let us add here that dress
does not make the gentleman; but it
attracts gentlemen and suggests
clean skin. The plain democrats who
come here from the people glory in
being shod in nailed shoes and capped
with dropping. umbrella-like hat
Do these great fermenting minds stop
to think that the man with the biggest
brains lately in the Senate, Roscoe
Conkling, left his measure with his
tailor when boy, and never knows
what he puts on except as he receives
package on the evening of the sea-
sons as they come. Chester A. Arthur
is the neatest man in Washington al
most, and he has some brains too. Abe
Hewitt, Allison, Edmunds and Randall
are wearers of good broadcloth, well
cut; so are dozens of others. Speaker
Keifer is always ready for day call.
Vest, of Missouri, is always in we'll
shaped goods, and boldly wears gold
chain around his neck heavy enough to

glish lord. Members who get lodgings
In the suburbs for 81 day, two meals

they feel dull with bad stomachs, and

The India canals are q distinctive
feature of the country. They are
splcndidly built, being intended prin-
cipally for irrigation, although having
locks, so as to make navigation pos
sible. The largest and most import
ant one is the Gauges Canal, which cost
the Government f2,000,000. 1t is
about 800 miles long, runs out of the
Ganges and proceeds into the Ganges
again. When the subject of building
it was agitated, the interesting natives
vowed they would never for an instant
tolerate it, tapping as it did the sacred
river of the Hindoos. Then when the
work was actually begun they changed
their tactics and gravely declared that
water would not remain in or flow
through the canal When the fallacy
of this position was shown, they reced-
ed from it and contented themselves
with solemnly asserting that no native
would ever avail himself of the inn
provement. 1t is now in full opera
ton, however.

which were echoed by the sentiments
Of the congregation, were con
ciliatory and cOnsoling, and reflected
in no way on the people of Tennessee
generally, but attributed the murders
to the result of bigoted prejudice on
the part of ignorant and misin-
