The Science of s,lence.

have read somewhere the following
arrangement for avoiding family quar-
rels: "You see, SIR, said an old man,
speaking of couple who lived in per-
feet harmony in his neighbOrhOod,
they'd agreed between themselves that
whenever he came home little contra
" and out of temper he wore his hat on
the back of his head, and then she never
said a word; aud if she came in little
cross and crooked, she threw her shawl
over her left shoulder, and he never
said a word" As il takes two to make
quarrel, either the husband OF the
wife might often prevent one by step
ping out of the room at the nick of
time; BY endeavoring to divert atten-
ton and conversation from the burning
question; by breathing an instantaneous
prayer to God for calmness before max
ing any reply; in a word, by learning
to put practice on certain occasions the
science of silence. Robert Burton tells
of a woman who. hearing one of heI
"gOssips" complain of her husbands
impatience, told her an excellent remedy
for it. Sae gave her glass of water
which, when he brawled, she should
hold still in her mouth. She did so two
or three times with great success, aud al
length, seeing her neighbor, she thanked
her for it, and asked to know the ingre
dients. She told her that it was "fail
water" and nothing more; for it wa
not the water but her silence which per
formed the cure.
He who has learned the science o
silence may hide ignorance. and eveI
acquire a reputation for knowledge ans
wisdom. A story is told of the painte
Zeuxis, how he reproyed q certain higl

GOOD NIGHT.

The tales are told, the songs are sung,
The evening romp is over,
And up the nursery stsirs they climb
With little bUzrIng tongues that chime
Like bees among the clover.
Their busy brains and happy hearts
Are full Of crovding fancies
From song and tale and make believe
A Eondrous web OF dreams they weave
And airy child romances.
The starry night is fair without;
The new moon rises slowly;
The nursery lamp is burning slowly;
Each white-r0bed like little saint,
Their prayers they murmur slowly.
Good night The tired heads are still,
On pillows sofs reposing,
The dim and dizzy mist Of sleep
About their thoughts begin to creep,
Their drowsy eyes are clOsing.

Delegates Appointed.

The democratic central committee
met on Monday last, and appointed Jas.
Witt and Jas. Surridge as delegates TO
represent Idaho county in the demo-
cratic territorial convention which meets
at Bellevue, Sept. 8, to nominate DEM
ocratic candidate for delegate to cong
ress. Owing to the distance from the
seat of war and the expense OF reaching
the same, there are very few among Us
who care to attend the convention.
Messrs. Witt and Surridge will also
attend the session of the Grand Louge
Of the Masonic order in this territory
which convenes at Bellevue, Sept. 49,
All the indications are that Hon. John
HALEY will be re-nominated by accla-
nation.

THE PRIMARIES.

Now that the central committees have
appointed the date of the primary cleo
tions it is to the interest of the people
to turn out and elect good deleg ates.
The primaries are the fountain head of
American politics, and if the people do
their duty in the premises, there is but
little danger but that good men will be
chosen to stand for the county offices.
If on the other hand they neglect to
attend the primaries, the control OF the
conventions passes into the hands OF
the political shysters who affiict every
community and whose sole recon-
mendation is their skill in manipula-
ting caucuses and things. 1t is Gus
tomary to complain of the manlpula'
ton of nominating conventions by pro-
fessional politicians who too often
ignore the wishes of the sovereign peo-
pie to further their own personal
schemes for profit, place, honor OF
revenge. There is way to prevent al
this. Let the work of voicing the senti
ments of the majority of the people
commence at the primaries. Mex
week the primaries will be held in thi
county and if the friends of politica
aspirants control them without regar'
to the general welfare, it will be because
more people are interested in the none.
Offices than in the public good. l
wrong prevails in the primaries ant
conventions you can take an appeal t.

No Representation.

Owing to the imbroglio caused by TWO
different calls for two republican terri
torial conventions, the republicans OF
Idaho county will let their representa-
ton in the nominating convention go
bv default. The republicans of Idaho
county are too independent to be bosseo
around by professional politicians and
thew have tho welfare of the party too
much at heart to participate in the lac
tional strife which selfish men nave
fomented for selfish reasons. There Is
great dissatisfaction among the RANK
and file of the party at the methods
employed by Dubois and his strikers IN
hacking the convention with delegates
instructed to nominate him for congress
The present year of grace is an oil year
in politics anyhow, and it presents
good opportunity for the republicans OF
Idaho territory to free their organiza-
ton of the Federal carpet-bag- ONCE
holding parasites who have fastened
themselves upon it. They have been
a constant source of dscord ever since

summer. Mr.. Woods expressed him
self as satisfied with the prospects there
all OF which indicate good strong lodges
but not sufficient development work has
been done to justify the investment Of

to take another look at those properties
and in the event that the prospects hole
