The IDAHO LEGISLATORS.

ae"sant weather AT the Capitat-The
House at q Deadlock Again-A Com
promise Offered by the Anti. Mermons
Council Proceedings.
BOISE Cry, Dec. 20, 1886.
To THE EDITOR OF THE T1Mss:-
The sun shone brightly over the Cap.
ltal City this morning for the first
time in two weeks. The change in
the weather from rain and fog to
bright, cheerful sunlight, had the
effect of raising the spirits of the Leg
islators, who all came into the House
smiling.
The first proceedings of the Assem-
bly, were the calling of the roll and
reading of Saturdays minutes by Chief
Clerk pro TEN. Harding, after which
the Chief Clerk elect, b. N. billiard,
was sworn in and the keys of the
desks turned over by the Chief Clerk
pro TEN.
George A. Baldwin (R.) was nomi.
mated for Sergeant-at-Arm rms, against
T. B. Guthrie (D)
The first ballot resulted in a dead.
lock, contrary to the expectations of
every one except the members them
selves. Balloting continued until ten
ballots had been taken without a
choice, when the House took a recess
until 2 p. IN.
During the morning session in the
House, }. G. Fox (R.) arose and offered
to come to any fair compromise with
the Democrats, provided the perma-
nent organization could be effected
without further delay. He offered to
take and give alternate offices remain
ing at the disposal of the House. The
Democrats, with their usual lack of
magnanimity, failed to respond.

Good Watermelons and How to Iudg :
Them.


The latest thing In melons Is the
"scaly bark" This Is the second
season for this melon and it is extra
fine. 1t is Of dark green color. with
irregular patches OF q scaly appear
ance. 1t is faid to be q most reliable
variety and an excellent article for
shipping on account of its keeping
qualities. There are various WAYS
Of judging watermelon. Those who
have to handle them are educated by
experience to know a ripe melon on
sight, tut If the skin breaks crisply
when cut into with the thumb nail, or
a peculiar hollow sound is emitted
when tapped with the kouckle, or If
the meat is heard to break with a
brittle sound when the fruit is
squeezed, the melon ia generally ripe.
The "scaly BARK does not respond
kindly to tie squeezing or rapping
test, as a two-hundred-pound man
might sit upon one without crushing
the meat, yet when cut the melon
might prove prime one by its dark
red meat end black seed.
