Our MOUNTAIN TRIP.-The boys in the
mines stood in nobly to the support of
the FREE PRESS, and all hands united in
making our stay as pleasant and profit
able as possible. There are only few
white men left in there now, not
enough to justify newspaper man in
making the trip from a business point
of view, nd the boys know that our
principal object in visiting them is to
renew old acquaintance and see the
country, and there is nothing too much
to ask of them that they won't do.
They are as fine, good-hearted and
whole-souled a crowd of men as ever
lived in the mountains, and when we
left camp we did it with light heart
and heavy sack. 1t is the fervent wish
of the editor that the Lord may be with
them and prosper them, and the angel
of good luck guide them to a prospect
where each of 'em may come out with
an everlasting fortune which we trust
they will long enjoy until they take the
trail which terminates in the great
beyond, where the range is ever fresh
and green, there to Craze until the last
grand roundup takes place.

Bro. Bacon, of the Boise Republican,
and Bro. Brizee of the Blackfoot Re
porter, are respectfully informed that
the people up this way don't go cent
on their Dubois -political-third-
party-side-shows. In fact the anxiety
they manifest to wet-nurse it into
existence, and their repeated denuncia-
tions of the old parties and their
own Pharasaical pretensions to honesty
looks like strong desire on their part
to steal something.

Coles Circus. During our trip to
Lewiston last week we ran over to
Moscow and saw Coles colossal circus.
As show it is great success and well
worth the big dollar we paid to see it.
The equestrian part of it presents no
new features and the funny business is
as weak as dishwater. DR.. Caryer's
shooting is wonderful and is alone
worth the price of admission. The
Siblin family's gymnastic exercises are
wonderful, the bicyle performances are
good and the animals are better trained
than is customary. The circus has five
elephants. half dozen lions. and a
regular assortment of wild and wonder
ful animals in the menagerie, which as
the bills say, is alone worth the price of
admission. The circus travels on its
own special train and cannot leave the
rails, hence it will not visit the prairie.
Its expenses average $1,000 per day.
About 1000 people witnessed the after
noon performance. Times hay be so
hard that men can't purchase school
books for their children, they NAV
stand the barkeeper off for liquid sun
dries and their store bill may be longer
than clothes line, but they can always
rustic few dollars to take in the circus.

A MOONLIGHT RIDE.-Maj Shearer
and the editor left Warrens late one
evening for the YARN Springs. 1t was
lovely night in August, not a cloud
visible and the glorious stars shinino
with luster one seldom sees out of the
mountains. The moon was sbinine
brightly, and the slender trunks of the
black pine cast ghostly shadows athwart
the trail in the strong light Of the moon
which rose above the horizon and illu-
minated the tree tops as we descended
into the gloomy recesses of Long pulch
me queen of night was well up in the
heavens as we made the Secesh mead
oWs, where no longer screened bv the
timber, the atmosphere was chill with
the faintest suggestion of frost. AS the
creek came into view from time to time
its waters glistened in the MOONLIGHT
like silver riband, but as the nioht
grew cold 1t became obscured by the
vapor extracted from its waters by the
cold atmosphere. About midnight we
reached the springs. put up our heated
steeds and were Foon enjoying the lux
ury OF plunge ihto the waters of those
delightful springs. Mr.. Burgdorf had
prepared night-cap for us, so we ad
jonrned to bed and were soon in sleep
winch one never enjoys out of the
mountains. You fellows who never get
from under the shadow of your own
vine and fig tree don't know what pleas
ure is to be derived from a race across
the broad expanse of Secesh meadows
in full flood of moonlight-with rheu
matism in every ray of her. Such
ride inspires meditation, and the sur
roundings lend somber cast to the
mind and thoughts too deep for utter
ance come gushing forth in abundance
from the active brain.

CONTRACTS AWARDED board OF
county commissioners met last Monday
for the purpose of opening and award
ing bids for the repair of the Jackson
bridge and the construction of new
bridge over the lower crossing of Secesh
creek. The bid for repairing the Jack
son bridge was awarded to F. p. Turner
for the sum Of 1884, and the contract
for the Secesh bridge was also awarded
to the same gentleman for the sum Of
$3.50. This bridge will be about 800

SO low as to be submerged during high
water. w. j. Kelly, of Warrens, was
also bidder on this work, his offer
being $3.50.

breathing Through tho Mouth.

FROM ST. Nicholas.
Tight dressing, though the most serious
hindrance to the habit OF good breathing, Is
not tho only obstacle There are careless
ways Of sitting and standing that draw the
shoulders forward and crsmp the chest; and
1t Is ~ hard frr the lungs TO do good work
when the ches. il narrow aud CONSTRUCTED rs
IL IL for a closely baniaged hand to set copy
of clear and graceful penmanship Then
there arc lazy ways of breathing, and one
sided ways OF breathing, and the particularly
bad habit Of breathing through the mouth.
Now the nose was meant to breathe through,
and It Is marvelously arranged for altering
the impurities out OF the air and for changing
1t TO suitable temperature for entering the
lungs The mouth has no such apparatus,
aud when the air IL swallowed through the
mouth instead of breathed through the nose
1t has an INJURIOUS effect upon the lungs A
story Is told of all Indian who had a personal
encounter with a white man much his supe-
rior in size and strength, and who was asked
atterward IL he was not afraid. "Me never
afraid OF man who keeps mouth OPEN" was
the immediate reply, Indeed, breathing
through the mouth gives foolish and weak
expression to the face, ~ you may see by
watching any asleep with the mouth open.
IL may toe noted that an anBmic, or low con-
dtion OF the blood IL seldom found where
there Is an established habit Of full, deep
breathing with the mouth closed.

EFFECTS or pIscRIMIsATioS.
Tho effect OF this policy OF discrimination
upon tho interests and prosperity OF Pennsyl'
vania may be Inferred from facts which we
state before bringing our remarks to close.
In tho decade between 1870 and 1880, &C.
cording TO the United States census returns,
the aggregate Increase In tho valuation OF
farming lands was a thousand millions OF
dollars, or about ton per cent. Yet, during
tho same period, owing to Discrimination
against Pennsylvania products, there was q
depreciation IN the value Of farm lands In
Pennsylvania OF sixty.eight millions OF dol
lars, notwithstanding there was an increase
In the extent Of cultivated land OF nineteen
hundred thousand acres. And these figures
are confirmed by statistical statements re-
Gently published In the Philadelphia Record
showing that tho value per acre OF agricui-
th'" III iohh'yiNoh'n b"" wv
creased.
There IL but one inteligible explanation Of
this. 1t Ii that the products OF the farms, as
well rs OF the forests aud the mines Of Penn
sylvania arc systematically hindered In their
natural Increase by DETERMINATIONS against
them. The farmers aud cattle producers OF
Pennsylvania are prevented from sending
with profit to markets beyond the state,
what they have to sell, by virtually prohibi-
tory rates OF transportation. Then, too,
their home markets are stunted In growth
by the DETERMINATIONS made against Penn.
sylvania manufacturers The manufactur-
ers north and east and west of Pennsylvania
arc favored by railroad determinations In
the prices at which they obtain their coal and
other raw materials, aud favored again by
discrimination In the rates OF delivering
their manufactured products Then, To
crown the injustice aud outrage, even the
home markets of Pennsylvania are In great
degree supplied. through discrim mination In
favor OF the Western states and against the
people OF Pennsylvania, as regards almost
every article Of consumption Grain, flour,
feed, butter, cheese, swine, cattle, horses
lumber and almost everything the farm or
forest can produce, are delivered at lower
rates from far distant points than Pennsylva
tor. Is II any wonder that Pennsylvania is
not prospering TO the extent that might rea-
sonably be expected from Its natural advan-
tages ? Any wonder that population in
creases slowly and business Of very kind,
whether agricultural, manufacturing or
moves sluggishly'

Rocky mountains and causing the abandon

With the acquisition OF brcech-loading tire
arms and fixed ammunition the savages

the skillf,ii combination OF offensive and de-

MODERN WARFARE.
Modern In0.an warfare is very serious
business, demanding high order OF ability
In the officers, and the possession OF the rarest
soidierly qualities on the part Of the men.
The best of military critics assert that In the
wars OF the future battles will be fought by
short rushes of small squads of men to adj.
vanced positions, where they will intrench

then advance again, q second line of squads

squads, and much will depend on the cor
porals and individual men. The line OF bat
tie that will follow them, ad vancing In sim
liar series Of spurts ana intrenching, will not
pass to the front until close quarters have
been reached, and the time has come for the
final rush on the enemy. This plan, or some
thing like 1t, must take the place of the old
system Of attack, because the improvements
OF firearms have made II impossible TO ad-
vance directly against them. "The attack
must be driven over at least thousand yards
Of deadly space before even the sssaulting

Chester, writing Of " Battle 1ntrenchments,"

successful open attack against intrenched in.

dead which garnished the activity before st.
Privst, or the glacis in front Of Plevna."
Now for this system Of fighting our little
army on the frontier have had the very best
Of training. They are thoroughly trained
sbarp-shooters, accustomed to selfrelant &C.
ton, and just the kind Of men 10 glory in the
opportunities for individual distinction, that
would be afforded In the advance upon an l
enemy by short rushes.
Our army may be but a skeleton, but the
part Of 1t that has the thank less task of facing
the savages, as they are brought to bay in the
desolate mountains and plains at the heart OF
the continent has at least developed the
qualities Of endurance and pertinacity, and
has learned the military virtues OF the
enemy as far As 1t Is possible for civilized
men to acquire them.
