Now that the Bill for public build
ing at Monroe has passed both the
House and Senate and requires only
the signature of the President to be-
come a law, it is hoped that those land
owners having eligible sites on which
to erect the building, will be generous
enough to offer their property to
Uncle Sam at a fair remuneration
otherwise they may regret it. Uncle
Sam bases the valuation of property
according TO the United States Census
returns and can calculate pretty close
the intrinsic value of his purchases.

Tim Carroll, Auditor and Recorder
of this county, departed Sunday for the
east. Hs will visit his mother in New
Jersey, and will go to Rochester, N. T.,
to have artificial feet made. Tim has
never, in any of his letters to his
mother, said word about the sad mis-
fortune he met with many years ago,
when in mid-winter, near the More
creek summit, he was seized with
cramps, and was five days and nights
in the snow and exposed to the biting
cold of that high region, his feet be-
coming so badly frozen that it was nec-
esssry to amputate them in order to
saye his life. Tim did not tell her of
his terrible trials on that trip, and the
serious results loss of his feet
because he knew it would unnecessar-
lily grieve her. We wish our friend Tim
a pleasant trip. He will be gone five
or six weeks, He will return by way Of
Michigan, and Miss Carrie Bradford,
who is attending school at Albion, will
return with him.-Idaho World.

most extraordinary case Of fecundity
that ever heard of came to my knowl-
edge last week. About twenty-five
miles from here, and by rail two or
three stations beyond Pompeii, is the
historical city ef Nacera (the Nucera
Of the ancients.) Twenty times have I
passed through Nucera this past sum-
mer and autumn, and have always ad-
mired the wonderful productiveness of
the Fl Ids, the vineyards and the or
chards. But there is something strictly
true, which, in human productivsness,
rivals tho exuberance Of the soil; viz:
In the ward of L'posta lives Msddalena
Granata, aged forty-seven, who was
married at the age Of twenty-eight to a
peasant, just nineteen years ago. Mad
delena Granata has given birth to

rem, fifty-nine of whom we're males.
She eoj oys aorid health, is robust, and
twenty four hours after her last ac-
was ready to go out to her
labor in the fields. She has
no hesitancy about conversing with any
one about her extraordinary prolific
ness. Her physician, DR.. Raphael de
Sanctis, of Nuoera, says there is no ex-
in these statements. Has
anyone ever heard of such phenomenal
in the whole history of ma,
sernity-sixty-two children, alive or

average of twelve children every four

Retrospective y

Retrospective
Mile upon mile Of sun-scorched earth;
Mile upon mile of desert plain;
A treeless waste, scarce trod by man;
A wilderness unblessed by rain,
A cloudess sky-a blazing sun;
A solitude wild, vast, profound;
An empire strange and unexplored;
An empire girt about, around,
by mountain ranges reared aloft,
Their snow-clsd SUBMITS towering high
Like sturdy warriors of old,
Against dazzling summer sky.
Far to the north, the Teton Range,
Grim sentinels, their vigils keep;
Their crested heads eternal snow;
While the vast plain is wrapped in sleep
A sleep unbroksn; for, as yet,
The savage warrior roams at will,
The wild deer and the antelope
Alone the trackless desert fill.
Mile upon mile Of arid waste;
Mile upon mile ofglaring sand:
A mighty empire, desolate,
Untaught by Progress guiding hand;
Circled and girt about, around,
BY hoary mountains, capped in snow,
A wild, primeval Wilderness
This once was thou, great Idahol
The years speed on and on and on;
The seasons come; the seasons go.
Awaken thou! the scene has changed
Shake off thy shtmber, Idahol
A hardy race OF pioneers,
Valiant and brave, like giants rude,
Have burst upon thee from afar
Have pierced thy pristine solitude.
Thy arid wastes are made to smile
And yield their tribute to the might
or sinewy hands; brighter dawn
Bursts forth and banishes the night.
Where once the Indian, wild and free,
Rode forth at dawn beneath the skies,
To join the chase in savage glee,
Cities and villages arise;
While Nature, meath the soft caress,
Where all was wilderness before,
Beams DER the land in gratitude,
And gladly yields her bounteous store.
And far away, remote from all,
Amid the mountain SUBMITS bold,
She smiles again on other hands,
And empties forth her boarded gold.
And from the East the iron horse
Bursts upon thee in his might;
or Progress he the messenger;
A flashing meteor of light.
Arouse thee, Idahoi Shake off
Thy slumbersl Scatter hence the shaded
Awaken to the glittering dawn
OF thy great future, ne'er TO fadel
And may that future be as bright
As thy own birthplace mid the snow,
Success, prosperity, be thine,

That nine out of every ten who carry
Gov. Smiths free pass in their pockets
will vote just as he wants them to do
every time, That is Just what he gives
them the passes for; and he seldom
makes mistake in picking out his
tools. Being shrewd man he knows
who will be likely to sell his indepcn-
dence and manhood for mess of pot
tagc. Who ever knew such men as Lo
Martin, Jim Batcheldcr, &. Washing
ton Hooker, Levi Fuller or Jock Eddy
Though the latter is ashamed to show
his pass when any body is around), or
any other free rider, to go back on the
Governor when he orders them to toe
the mark? The people then ought to
know precisely what to do, and they
will have nobody but themselves to
blame if their wishes are disregardcd.
If they want Gov Smith made Senator,
and favor keeping the State still under
the control Of "thc ring" and the rail-
road monopolics, they should elect
members of the Free Pass Brigade, or
men they can control, to represent them
in nominating conventions and in the
legislature; and then they will he sure
to get just what they want. On the
other hand, if they want Senator Ed
munds reelected and desire to smash
ring rule, and to subject the insolcnt
railroad monopoly to State control,
and secure the passage of laws to pro-
tect the people from oppression and en-
tortion, they will leave every mothers
son of these schcming, wire-pnlling,
caucus packing free riders, and their
friends. at home, and send honest, indie
pendent self respecting citizens to
speak for them in conventions and in
the legislature, who cannot he scduced
bv free pass nor bought with money.
And there will never be better time
or place to begin this work than at the
caucusscs to elect delegates TO the re-
publican state convention to be held al
Montpelier on the 10th inst.
Reader, if you want Gov. Smith &c
continue his bossism over you and eve

know just exactly how to bring 1t Il

to happen, Oh the other hand, you know
just how to prevent it. Which will you
do? Let every man answer for him

The body of Willis found.

AS Judge E. L. Sibley and E. b.
GriswOld of Bennington were fishing
Thursday on the west branch of Deer
Cabin brook, in Somerset, three or four
miles from auy road or cleared land,
Mr.. GrisHold discovered the dead body
of man, who was without any doubt
j. III. Willis, a peddler and wander
er from the town of Bridgewater. Will
lis disappeared in November, 1885. A
few days ago party from West. Do
yer was fishing near that locality in
Somerset and found valise filled with
dry goods and Yankee notions, which
appeared to have lain there nearly a
year, as the goods were mostly spoiled.
A party of 20 searched the dense forests
of Somerset in vain to find the body re-
Gently. The flesh had rotted from his
face and hands. The left leg was bro
ken and bandaged, and there seems to
be no doubt that the unfortunate man,
unable to crawl out of the wilderness,
had died of starvation. The mysterious
disappe arance of Willis had caused
much curiosity in southern Vermont,
and the theory of suicide or murder
hadbeen generally accepted.

for that position? If so attend your
caucus and vote for delegates of that
stripe. If on the other hand YOU do not
believe in such men nor their methods,
and would rid the state of ring rule,
then by all means attend your caucus,

by those cunning devices. Gov. Smith
cares nothing for Railroad Commits

other instrument with which to defy
