A Peculiar Animal.

New Haven Palladium.
j. G. Thomson, of Darlington, Ind, brought
into the Office of the Palladium curiosity which
he called the double hybrid. The little animal.
the weight of which is less than five pounds, re-
sembles in many respects dog, a eat and q
rabbit. Her head is identical with that of cat
except that she has no whiskers, but her ears ara
large and long, and shaped like those of Mexi-
can dog Her hind legs are like rabbits, while
her tail is very long and resembles the appendage
of what is known as rat-tailea dog. On each
of the two fore feet are two water-claws. and
each of the fore legs are provided with set Of
extra muscles resembling those found on the LEG
of the rabbit The skin Of this little creature is
thin soft and translucent, and where not per-
fectly bare was fine growth of hair not moro
than one-slxteenth of an inch in length The
father of this remarkable specimen was cross
between the hairless Mexican dog and West
ern Jack rabbit; the mother was a common cat
The parents were the property of George Speace,
the editor of the Peoples Journal of Covington,
Ind. Mr.. Spence has number of peculiar
animals in his possession. The animal Just de-
scribed had two sisters which lived only six
weeks, and the hybrid enjoys the distinction OF
being the only production of the kind. She ID
two years old and very intelligent When aa-
noyed in any way she will cry like a cat but she,
never gives utterance to the purElike sound by
which the cat indicates her satisfaction with har
lot in life.

All, under what uncertain skies
My daily paths are laid;
I meet my sweetheart's smiling eyes,
IT'S summer, in the shade!
Again. she greets me with frown,
For cause little know;
And. presto! how tumble down
To twenty-five below!
Thus fair or foul my weather flies,
AS wills the trifing maid;
All, under what uncertain skies
My daily paths are laid!

IT'S Merit Wins.
IT'S merit wins the day.
Who thinks by force


Who thinks by force
To run the course;
Why, he's fool at play.
Then reck not what your foes may say,
But keep eye on merit.
The ape will have his little day,
But worth will never fear it.
Who lacketh wit
Must borrow it,
And borrowing is poor dependence.
The borrowing knave
Is the lenders slave,
And his master gets the credit.
Then reck not what your foes may say,
Maintain an independence
Of foes, and sneers,
And doubts, and fears.
IT'S merit wins Away.

The End az Anarchy.

The conviction of seven An
archists at Chicago on the Goth
inst. was righteous act, and will
show to those who have thought
that the United States was a harbOr
of safety for every refugee from for
eign countries to carry on their in
famous deeds, that the strong arm
of the law prevails in this land as
we'll as liberty. 1t is to be hoped
that hanging will speedily follow
conviction, and the country will be
rid Of these men who sought to
inaugurate a reign of terror in our
land. 1t is also a matter of regret
that Johann Most did not stay in
Chicago long enough to have met
the same fate, instead of now being
a convict at Blackwells Island,
New York. The lesson Of the Chi
cago riot has been learned, and
those remaining of the despicable
class of which the seven condemned
men were leaders will hardly ven
ture to again raise the black flag.
The conviction of this first batch
of these notorious convicts will be
followed by the arrest of many
more, and every good citizen will
fervently hope that there will be
evidence produced against
them to send them with their lead
ers to unhonored and unmarked
graves.

How the human system ever RECEIVERS
from the bad effects of the nauseous medi-
cines often literally poured into it for the
suppositive relief of dyspepsia, liver COM
plants, constipation, rheumatism and
other ailments, is mystery. The mischief
done by bad medicines is scarcely less than
that caused by disease. If they who are
weak, bilious, dyspeptic, constipated or
rheumatic, would oftener be guided by the
experience of invalids who have thoroughly
tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they
would in every instance obtain the speedi-
est aid derivable from rational medication.
This medicine is searching and at the
same time a thoroughly safe remedy, de-
rived from vegetable sources, and possess
ing, in consequence of its basis of pure
spirits, properties as a medicinal stimu-
liant not to be found in the fiery local bit
tiers and stimulants often resOrted to by the
debilitated, dyspeptic and languid.

The Portland Oregonian has the
positive assurance from Col. Hogg,
John l. Blair, of New Jersey, and
p. r. Payne, of New York city,
that the Oregon Pacific railroads
will be pushed forward to an east
ern connection as soon as the line
can be built. The last two gentle
men named propose to furnish the
money, and are amply able to do it.
Mr. Blair is the richest man to-day
in the State of New Jersey, and is
many times a millionaire. Mr..
Payne is also a man of great
wealth, and is the manager of the
vast estate of the late Moses Tay-
lor. Twenty miles of the road will
be built this fall, and a route to
Boise City will be selected and sur
yeyed. 1t is intended that at or
near Boise City the road shall meet
the Chicago and Northwestern,
which will extend its line to Idaho
during the next two years. Ofti,is
latter road Mr.. Blair is the chief
and Mr.. Payne large stakeholder.
They control its management pnd
are able to speak with authority.
The idea of these enterprises, the
above gentlemen inform the Ore
CONAN, is not speculative. The
lines are to be built with the ex-
pectation that they will do profita-
bic freight and passenger business,
and with this view every possible
effort will he made to develop the
country. The prospect is full Of
good promise.

A Tribune special from Black

man, and &. w. Breeze Secretary.
H. w. Smith, Democrat, author of
the Idaho test-oath; H. w. Ben
nett, Republican, District Attorney
for Bingham county, and J. H..
Carter were selected az delegates

Smith offered resolutions express
ing the entire confidence ofthe anti
Mormons in Southeastern Idaho
in Hon. Fred. T. Dubois, and asking
that the delegates be instructed to
work for his nomination to Congress,
which were adopted. Speeches were
made by II. w. Smith and J. II.
Carter. Bingham county will give
Dubois almost solid vote on cleo
ton day.
The anti-Mormons of Bear Lake

In the nurly-OuTIy OF pOIltlcs anu
the scramble for such of the Offices
that pay the best, it is too often
the case that the really important
duties of a nominating convention
is either entirely overlooked or not
given the careful thought which OF
right is demanded. The people Of
Alturas, in common with other
counties of the Territory, are about
entering upon political campaign
the issues Of which are more i'm
portant, in many respects, than at
any former period. 1t appears that
so far the main question is, who
will be Sheriff and who will be At
torney. Competent men are needed
for both places, and the nominating
conventions will, in their wisdom,
no doubt accord the honor to the
most available man whose name is
presented for consideration. But
there are other nominations to be
made in which the people have at
least an equal interest, as it will be
a matter Of direct Importance to
the tax-paying portion of our COM
munity. Alturas is given a repre-
sentation of six in the Legisla-
ture, and it cannot be too strongly
urged upon the conventions to place
men on the respective tickets for
such positions who will have the
full confidence of the people and
who will be sure to favor such leg
islation as will have a tendency to
reduce taxes, rather than to give
support to any measure that will
only add to the burthen we are
called upon to bear. The question
of county division will no doubt
be leading card with some who
may possibly have an AK to grind,
and this Of itself should be suffi-
cient to put the taxpayers on guard
against any schemes that may be
set ahoat having for an object the
segregation of our county simply
for political purposes or to satiate
the greed of an envious few living
in the western portion of our county.
Important legislation affecting the
interests Of not only this county,
but the Territory as whole, will
also be acted upon, and the two
political parties have great re-
sponsibility resting upon them in
placing before the people for their
suffrage legislative ticket that will
meet with appreciation.
The nomination Of County Com
missioncrs is also a matter Of great
Importance, and it is to be earnestly
desired that good, representative
and thoroughly competent men will
be selected. In many respects this
is the greatest responsibility resting
upon a convention. The selection
of men who are to be the stewards
of the county-having almost I'M
limited authority in expanding the
funds of the people-should not be
actuated by the promise of any
political reward or the result Of any
combination. Such nominations
should be made in the best interests
of those who pay the taxes and
support our county government.
As vet but little has been said as
to who will be the candidates for
County Commissioners, but there
are plenty of good men who could
fill the office with credit to them
selves, and we hope from such a
source the selection will be made.

All Quiet ON the Rio Gr0ndc.

The war with Mexico is over and
Cutting released. The fond hopes
of would-be suffers and the bright
visions Of fat government contracts
have vanished and peace reigns
along the Rio Grande. The war
has been one of weakened diplo-
macy, and was closed by the ag-
grieved Sreaser editor Medina re-
fusing to further prosecute the case
against the scrub editor Cutting.
The international questions brought
up in the matter are not yet settled,
and will take the form of indemni-
fication to Cutting for the punish
ment he has undergone. 1t is to
be regretted that the United States
had not better material with which
to prosecute a claim, but the per-
sonal standing and reputation of
an American does not cut any figure
in the case when his rights as a
citizen of our country have been
trampled upon and the dignity of
our government insulted. And yet
the whole matter may end in smoke.
