Mr.. Bayard and His Family.

Mrs. Bayard is an attractive aud
still notwithstanding matrOn,of the
oldfasbioned style Of beauty, re-
fined face with delicate features and
pensive air, framed i'll a head dress
oflace and rows of small gray curls
at either side. Delicate health pre-.
vents her from going out much, aud
her daughters have often to receive
calls and discharge the social du
ties for her. Mr.. Bayard's eldest
daughter was married two years
ago to Samuel Warren OF Boston,
and the second daughter, Miss
Katie Bayard, q very slender and
vivaclous blonde, is the member Of
the family most seen. She is Il
graceful girl and brilliant talker,
but dresses always in some pecul.
lar and extraordinary way, the &c
centriclties OF her hats and head
gear having long been famous. AS
"Queen Hortense," or lady of the
First empire, at Miss Miller's fam
cy dress ball last week she quite as
Vonlshed the company with the lit
eral reproduction of the scanty CO.'S
tune OF that era, something that no
ether girl in the city would have
dared or been permitted TO attempt.
Ayounger sister, Miss Mamie Bay
ard, is going in society tor the first
time this winter, although she has
made no formal debut at u home
entertainment. Mr.. Bayard is a
great friend of Senator Fair, the
Nevada millionaire Of divorce aud
other notoriety, and Senator Fair
is constantly giving dinners sud
theatre parties for the Bayard
daughters. The Delaware Senator
has also great fancy Cor the pe0-
pie of the sock and buskin, and it
was lie who joined Mrs. Langtry
when she went to the Senate gal

for d while there, escorted her

knows where to find anything. He
will put his boots carefully away
on the parlor sofa, and when lie
has hunted for them half an hour
lie will suddenly appeal to his wife
with countenance like an aveng
ing angel and demand "What in
thunder she has done with his
boots?" She must shut all the doors
after her lord and master, and like
wise the bureau drawers, for a
married man was never known to
shut a drawer. 1t would be as un-
natural for hen to 60 in SWIM
ming for recreation.
She must go to bed first in cold
weather, so as to get the bed warm.
Her husband, if be be a wise man,
never asks her to do this. Oh,
no; but he sits to '.just finish this
piece in the paper" and waits till
she has got the sheets to comfort

great many tricks in the trade of
living together. A woman is ex.

her that he "does wish she would
try and quiet her baby" and he
says it, too, as if he thought she
alone was responsible for its being
in existence, and she was consid-
erably to blame for it, too.
And when she has the headache
nobody thinks of minding it-a
wOnan's always having the head
ache. And If she is "nervous
enough to fly" nobody shuts the
door any quieter, and nobody tucks
her ON the lounge with a shawl
over her, or coddles her to death as
a man has to be coIdled under
such circumstances. We might go
Oh indefinitely with the troubles of
being a woman, and if there is a
man who thinks a woman has an
easy time of it, why, just let him
pin on Il pound OF false hair and
get inside a pair of corsets, and
put on pull-back overskirt, and
be a woman himself, and see how
he likes it.

CEDAR ISLAND GUANO is a
complete manure, containing all the
elements OF good plant food, and in
proper proportions, to sustain veg
citation through the entire period
Of it's growth, and brings crops to
their full maturity. 1t has been

standing.

The article upon the breaking Of
the insurance compact, published in
the TINES, last week, was based upon
information supplied by Major Mensch,
OF Mensch & Busch, of Boise, who are
in the insurance business. It was
corroborated by Major Mensch's Of
fering to insure S. J. Friedman's, the
TINEs's, and other buildings in this
city, some policies having actually
been written.
AS soon as the article appeared
Justice Lennon, who carries line of
good risks here, but who has been in.
structed not to accept any more, sent
copies of the article to the San Fran
cisco Underwriters. He has since re-
celved replies which deny the right of
Messrs. Mensch & Busch to write on
buildings for any company which had
joined the compact. One of these re.
plies is from Mr.. Dorwin, Manager of
the Lion, and as follows:
Mensch & Busch have received spe
cific instructions not to write on build,
ings in Idaho Territory. The instruc.
tons are very positive.
Some time since the Oregon Fire
and Marine accepted two or three
brick buildings owned by one of their
stockholders, but, aside from that, are
not doing business ON buildings in
Idaho.
The insurance business in Idaho
therefore remains In static quo, and
will doubtless so remain until the ne xt
meeting Of the Legislature.

THE NEW DISTRICT.
1t Shows Much Orc, and Possesses Every
Requirement for Prosperity.


r. ]. McPhee has returned from
Alton district, to winter in this region,
with his family. He reports quite a
number of prospectors in the new dis
trict, who have discovered very prom
ising veins of milling ore of a high
grade. The Cleveland, the mine upon
which the most work has been done.
shows at least $4,000 on the crop
pings, of chloride and sulphuret ores.
The formation is micaceous granite
OF soft character, easily drilled and
good blasting. The district is but 80
miles in southeasterly direction from
the old Warrens diggings. Water,
wood, mining and building timber
and ore being abundant, the district
has every requirement for prosperity
e kept milling facilities. There is
good opportunity for prac.
teal millmcn Who are looking for ia
vorable locations.
Mr.. McPhee states that his COM
pany intends to resume operations
there as early as practicable next
spring, to push developments. He
will also either take in a small mill to
test the ore, or ship trial lot or two
either to Ketchum or Weiser.

An EXPLANATION.

Some persons seem to believe that
the word "bested," in the item which
appeared in yesterdays TIMES in ref.
erence to the poker game Of nigh,
before last, was intended to init
mate that the players had been un.
fairly dealt with. Such was not the
case. 1t simply meant that the visit.
ors lost. The amount was likewise
overstated, as not over $3.50 changed
hands during the game, which was Of
81 ante and Is limit, and therefore
only 70, pastime.
The people of HALEY are natural,
very solicltous Of the good name OF
the town, and desire these distin.
guished gentlemen to give good re.
port of us in every respect when they
go home; hence this explanation.

Ore Body Uncovered at Great Depth in
the Vienna Mine.
To THE EDlroR OF THE TINES !:
The indications are that it is getting
late in the season, in this country at
least, and preparations are making to
hole up for the winter.
There was a dance at Vienna
Thursday night. The attendance was
large for this town, there being a
round dozen of ladies and a score or
more of gentlemen participants. Sew
eral parties from Sawtooth Joined
with us, and an excellent time was
had.
The Vienna mine is working a
large force of men-about 6O-and
the mill will start up, it is expected,
Tomorrow. The ore. house is full to
Overlooking, with plenty more ore in
sight, and once the mill starts up, it
will continue to run all winter. This
is no idle rumor, as the information
was furnished the TINES correspond.
ent from the office of the company,
The Vienna Company, by the way,
has struck rich and extensive body
of ore at the bottom Of the shaft
the lowest depth attained. This is
what Mr.. johnson, the Superintend-
ent, has been working Tor the past
few years, and now he feels satisfied
that his is mine in reality, and the
lower it is exploited the better it will
prove, as the ore increases in richness
as we'll as in quantity.
The Lion mine is being worked by
a small force of men, who are taking
out considerable ore.
The camp seems dull to the old
residenter, but in reality it is better
to-day than any other camp in the
country. In all, there are probably
about SO men at work for wages,
while great many are doing the as.
sessment work OH their prospects.
We of the "up-country" look for
ward with much anxiety to the time
when we will be connected by tele-
phone with the outside world. Vien-
ma and Sawtooth subscribed about
$500 for a line to Ketchum, and it
was promised this fall. 1t is, however,
Mr.. Annett's intention to put the line
through to Atlanta early next spring.
This winter we shall have a daily
mail, and business will continue much
the same as in the summer. This is a
blessing not even bestowed upon
HALEY, with her railroad, telegraph,
water works, TIMES, and Board of
County Commissioners.
Work will be prosecuted on a mum.
