BOISE CRY, Dec. 9, '88.
ED. WORLD: The machinery of
the Territorial Legislative mill is all
at the capital, some OF it old and
tried, but the majority green and
soft. Every train Of the past week
has been loaded to the guards with
portion of this vast truck. Since
its arrival it has been doing a gener-
al lubricating business, to get every
part in good working order. The
machinery will be set in place to-
morrow, when the chief engineer will
turn on the throttle valve for sixty
days. The business stream of this
term will run in one and the same
channel, free from the obstruction oi
the Democratic boulder.
If we did not know that it is now
December, and slowly and surely
creeping on to Christmas, we would
be forced to believe it was March O.
early in April. The hills and dale
are clothed with a new and thrift,
growth of green grass. Stock on th'
range are fat and getting fatter. Th
weather beautiful beyond description
for this season of the year.

the Washington mine, left yesterday
for the East. 10 will stop short
time in Omaha, and will then go to
Chicago to make arrangements with
Fraser & Chalmers for hoisting works
and mill for the Washington. There
is already ore enough in sight IN this
mine to turn out sufficient money to
nav for a mill and hoisting works OF
large capacity, and there is no douo'
that satisfactory terms will be ar
ranoed and the works be put Up early

Jail long time, awaiting a term of
court. Two or three terms have
been announced, and the dates fixed,
since his incarceration, but the Judge
has failed to come to time, and War

stated time-just simply awaiting a
term OF court to try him. He is not
kept there as punishment, for he has
not yet been proven guilty. He is
merely being held by law, and in a
legal sense, is not being punished.
All he has to do is to look at his con
dition from legal standpoint-just
work himself up magnanimously to a
correct understanding of the fact tha,
he is not serving out sentence, and
cultivate the divine virtue of patience
and imagine that he is having a rea
enjoyable time of it awaiting the com
ing of the Judge, who will probably
arrive in all his judicial glory some
time before the end of the world O

When the reduction was made in
freight rates on ores from Wood

Gov. Stevenson, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior,
favors the repeal OF the test oath law,
as we understand his language, on
the grounds that the church no longer
practices or teaches polygamy. and
he is without doubt blinded by the
late political scheme of the Saints
a pretended remuneration Of polygamy
by the Idaho Chiefs of the church SO
that the flock could vote without dam
ger of prosecutions. 1t was sham,
simply that and nothing more, and
did not work very successfully. The
Governor seems to place implicit con-
fdence in the assertions OF Mormons
high in authority in church matters,
and believe they are actually what
they claim to he-Saints of the high
est order, and of un9uestioned ver-
) acity. At the last annual conference
of the Mormon church polygamy was
not renounced. A Bishop of an Ida
no stake does not speek for the
church. The remuneration must come
from headquarters in Utah to have
even a show of genuineness. The
so-called Remuneration, by the little
Bishops of Idaho, was nothing but (
t sham, as every citizen of the Terrific
~ we'll knows. When the churcl
. casts out polygamy, and the evidence
of sincerity is plain, then will be tim
: enough to talk about the repeal o
J the test oath law. Following is tn
4 language of the Governor:

.Turn Down the Cas-"

Gen. Hickenlooper, the President of
the Cincinnati Gas Company, has stated
to a reporter of the Cincinnati Times
Star the true story of the famous Incl
dent of the refusal to turn on the gas
in the old wooden hall in that city, on
the site of Music Hall, when the con-
vention that nominated Hayes for the
Presidency was held there. The Gen
eral said:
81 bore the brunt of that affair, and
have never said anything about it from
that day to this. You know the con-
vention was held in the old Sangerfest
Building, and we were afraid to turn
the gas on, and for good reasons,
which it would never have done for the
reputation of Cincinnati to let get out. :"
What was that reasOn?"
"Well, we learned that that old build
ing was eighteen inches out of plumb.
1t leaned that much to the south. Sec
ondly, the gas pipes and fixtures had
consequently become strained and
wrenched; the joints had become
loosened, and would let the gas escape.
Thirdly, all about the gas fixtures
festoons of flags had been wreathed, it
not being expected there would be any
necessity for night session. When
the session became prolonged and the
darkness came on, and there was de-
maud for the gas to be turned on, 1,
knowing the dangerous condition of
the building, refused to have the gas
turned on. knew that in the event
of rush in the excitement, or of any
thing catching fire, that we should
have one of the most fearful lcatastrophes
ever known. There was danger both
from collapse and from fire, and pre-
ferred the public and private censure
to the fearful risk of possible and
probable calamity. 1t would have
ruined Cincinnati to let it 90 out that
we had allowed a National Convention
to be held in a confessedly insecure
building. So l shouldered the brunt
of it and refused to turn on the gas. /
did not know of it fifteen minutes be-
fore the request came. And l acted
| instantly. There was no political sig
nificance attached to it. 1t was not to
boom Hayes or anybody else. abso-
lutely deny any such allegations. No,
have never given my reason for that
| action bafOre -

just from the South.

A Hartford gentleman recently re-
t1rned from Southern trip is exuding
. large amount of picturesque expert
enee. At Richmond, for instance, the
intelligent colored person who otficiat-
ed as coachman and guide. after point
ing out localities made notable by the
late war, finally pointed to an old brick
house and said:
.tD'ye see that ole house with the two
trees in front?"
Eyes, what's the matter with thate"
''That, sab, is the place where Capt.
John Smith discovered Pocahontas."
..Is that so? What did he do with
her after he discovered her?"
80, he married her."
At Charleston the flags were at half
mast one day for the death of local
magnate. Here another colored guide
was appealed to for Information as to
why the flag on the city hall was in
such position. He gravely replied
that: at was always so; they couldn't
raise it any higher" He pointed out
certain monument as the place where
George Washington was buried. This
was not quite satisfactory to the seeker
after knowledge, who, seeing on the
stone shaft bronze tablet, asked Nose
what was on the tablet, and was told,
''Keep off the grass"
Our friend processes entire sympathy
with the other fellow, who, having
gone south ''for change and rest" said
on his return that the darkies got all
the change and the landlords the rest.

Antiquities of Ireland.

Among the most interesting monu-
ments of prehistoric pagan times in
Ireland, says the London Nea0S, are
those found on and near the banks of
the river Boyne, in the county of
Meath, few miles west of Drogheda.
Here was cemetery of some of the
princes and chieftains of Erin at
period TO which no certain date can be
ascribed, but to which may be referred
the half-mythical traditions of the
Tuatha-de-Danaan, the fair-haired race
of strangers, valiant horsemen, singers
and harpers, and ma9icians, who are
supposed to have conquered some part
of the island, and to have established
their kings throne on the hill of Tara.
OF their protracted wars against the
FOmorians and the Firbolgs, whoever
those invaders were; of the Fomorian
King Balor, who had one eve in the
middle of his forehead and another in
the back of his head, which could kill
men by glance; and of Nuada Air
great Lamb, the king with a silver
hand, made to replace his hand lost in
the battle of Moytura, the lovers of ro-
mantle fables may read at their pleas
ure. 1t is probable that Meath was, in
very remote age, the abode of war;
like people, who gained considerable
aseendency over the tribes of the ada
cent parts OF Ireland, and whose king
may sometimes have been the head of
federal league to resist the incursions
of the Danes and Norsemen.
The sepulchral mounds, cairns, or
burrows in the neighborhood of Dowth
and Newgrange, associated with the
names of King Dubbath and Achad
Aldai (the name of ''DOwth'' being q
corruption of ''Dubbath" in the opin-
ion of Celtic scholars) were examined
by members of the Royal Irish Acade-
my forty years ago. The Dowth
mound is an immense pile of small BOWL
der stones, in the interior of which are
chambers and passages constructed of
very large blocks of stone rudely laid
together in the ''dolmen" fashion of
Brittany and other Celtic examples;
the first chamber, formed in the shape
of a cross (though certainly not of
Christian design, contained broken
stone coffin, with few bronze or iron
ornaments and half burnt human bones.
A passage twenty-seven feet long con-
ducts to series of small crypts, and
to a square chamber, the stones of
which are sculptured with variety of
decorated, perhaps symbolical, pat
terms and devices. The more import
ant of these have engaged the study of
antiquarians with view to ascertain
their possible significance. They ap-
pear in the greatest richness and COM
plexity on the huge stones of the in
terror of the great sepulchral monu-
ment at Newgrange; the carvings ara
of wonderful diversity-circles, spirals,
zig-zag, indentations, lozenges, and
lines and dots, which some think to be
form of writing.

The Princess of Wales Bath.

The Princess of England, whose
complexion is not only the finest, but
who has best stood the wear and tear
of time, takes her morning plunge regu-
larly and in water fairly cold, but she
is particularly careful to promptly
make use of the tiesh-brush, using
gloves of moderate roughness rapidly
over the surface of the body and, final
ly, the rough towel in a quick, general
rub, occupying both for the bath and
this massage, if one may call it such,
twenty minutes in all. At night the
same lady's bath is prepared tepid and
of distilled water, the admirable adj
vantage of which is not properly under
stood. Every particle of foreign mat
ter is removed from distilled water, so
that it is absolutely pure. 1t costs
about II cents per gallon, and can be
used, quart at time, for quick
sponge bath, with admirable effect,
especially when combined with little
glycerine and rose PhilddelphaG
Times.
