and Final Death Of the Terror
OF the Poonasy Hills.
It is the firm conviction of the vritel
that of all the animals which man has
either domesticated or made captive, the
lordly elephant is the most intelligent,
obedient and good-tempered. ut is
hard to teach an old dog new tricks, y
but old elephants are easier to tame and
teach than the young ones. When a
wild herd is entrapped in keddah, and
the captives are tied one by one and led
away, it is the Oldest elephants who learn
soonest that mind is superior to brute
force, and that the wisest way is tr yield
gracefully to the inevitable
Most wild animals that are captured
in an adult state are for long time in
= state of extreme terror, or else ex-
! treme rage, and it is very seldom that
such subject yields to teaching. With
the elephant, however, its tuition begins
with its capture. In from three to six
months the wild and lawless denizen Of
the Jungle is transformed into patient
steady going beast of burden, who does
his best to perform his tasks properly
and intelligently, and very rarely gives
cause for complaint.
But the elephant, like his human mas
ter, and also animals Of many other spe-
cies. is subject to insanity. Old ami
mails, especially males, are now and
then attacked by temporary fits called

lack of sufficient exercise, but oftener BY

THE ACTION OF THE COEUR
DALENE MINERS.

This 30 far Is We can learn Is not the
action of the bone fde citizens Of North
Idaho, but the action of a mass Of miners
most of whom are recently from Montana,
under the leadership of an ex.de!egate
from Montana who was ven:urer into
the mines of North Idaho, and never
had any substantial interest in North
Idaho, and most of his followers are Of
the same class. They were not asked to
come here to change our political ALI
ancc to Montana by the people Of North
Idaho, nor even by the people Of Mon
tana. Tue Butte Miner says that the
people Of Montsna do not want US and
gives good reasons therefor, aud we do
not see that congress can. with propricty,
listen to those as any part of the real
citizens OF North Idaho, although some
Of them may have resided within that
district long enough to become yutsrs un
der our laws. But from all We can learn.
We are led to think that their action is
prompted BY letters aud telegr ms from
South Idaho, to give the appearances Of
a divided sentiment in the north on the
question Of annexation to Washington.
The whole force Of Montana element is
new aud confined to an area of twenty
five miles, and not a former resi-.
dent among them, and are not permanent.
but are liable to be in British Columbia.
or in the Colyiile mires of Eastern
Washington, or the Samiikameen before
the next election, 10 case these mines
are pronounced rich during the coming
summer.

Since the agitation Of the question Of
statehood for Washington Territory in
1880, Ainslie was the democratic nomi
nee and Alanson Smith the republican
nominee for congress from Idaho, both
opposed to annexation. The people OF
North Idaho of both parties were dissat-
isfied with these nominations and placed
in nomination ex Governor Mason Bray
man as an independent candidate on the
annexation issue, and out OF 1850 votes
polled in the northern counties, Brayman
received over $50 votes against the reg
ular candidates, who together only re
ceived but about 800 votes. Wren a
local issue will draw from the regular
nominees SO large majority I, + the votes,
it is convincing evidence that issue raised is
vital one for the people. At the next cleo
,ion in 1882, Siugiser ran as an aunexa-
Zionist, and received all but about seven
ty five Of the votes Of the north, which
were given to Ainslie, and about 1900
majority in south Idaho, and was elected
by about 5000 majority in the whole
territory. And 1884 Singiser and Hal.
Icy both rau on annexation tickets and
HALEY was elected. And now the Hus-
