A CURIOUS PROPHECY.
The Future Greatness Of American
Industry Eoretold-

An almanac for 115S contains a
curious prophecy of the future great
ness of North America.
Here we fnd," says the writer, "a
vast stock of proper materials for the
art and ingenuity of man to work
upon: Treasures OF immense worth;
concealed from the poor, ignorant
aboriginal natives"
He alludes especially to the i'm
mense deposits of iron ore, saying:
"This metal, more useful than gold
and silver, will employ millions OF
hands, not only to form the martial
sword and peaceful share alternately,
but an infnity of utensils improved
in the exercise OF art and handicraft
among men. Nature through all her
works has stamped authority on this
law, namely, that all fit matter shall
be improved to its best purpose
"Shall not then those vast quarries
that team with mechanic stone-those
for structure be piled into great
cities-and those for sculpture into
statues to perpetuate the honor of re-
nowned heroes; even those who shall
now save their country?
80! We unborn inhabitants OF
America. should this page escape Its
destined conhagration at the years
end, and these alphabetical letters re-
main legible-when your eyes behold
the sun after he hiss rolled the sea
sons around for two or three centurle:

Become Flowers and
These Turn into Worms Again

When Mr.. Julius l.. Brown was
in Mexico be was talking with Col.
Foster, of the Mexican army, and one
of ex-President Gonzalez's most inti-
mate friends. The Colonel said:
@Did you ever see any of our cat
erpillars?"
Mr.. Brown replied that he had NOT,
and asked what distinguished them
ave have a caterpillar in the State
of Michoacan that supplies the miss
ing link between the vegetable and
the animal world. We bury the live
caterpillar in the ground. A plant
springs from this body which pro-
duces red flowers. These flowers, in
stead of making seed, reproduce a
caterpillar. Now mark the process.
We plant the animal and produce the
vegetable. The vegetable flowers,
and in turn produces an animal.
From the caterpillars comes the
plant The plant in turn produces
from its red flowers the caterpillar"
Mr.. Brown insisted that the cater
pillar was joke. The Colonel there
upon called gentleman from Micho-
acan, whose name Mr.. Brown does
not recall, and without telling the
story asked him about the caterpillar
of bis State. He repeated the story
as the Colonel had told it, and assert
ed upon his solemn word of homo
that it was true, and that he had seer
the caterpillar buried and the plan
produced, and the caterpillar repro
duced repeatedly.
Mr.. Brown afterward saw Genera
Ocho, General Pornbo, aud they al
told him the same story, assuring hin
of its truth.
Mr.. Brown is OF scientific turI
and has a scientists incredulity. Th
evident good faith of these distin
guished Mexicans impressed hin
however, and he Investigated tn
matter thoroughly. He found score
of witnesses who swore in the mos
positive manner to the truth OF tn
story.-[N. Y. Star.

Ex-ArroRNEY General Pride con-
tradicts a statement made to the eff
feet that some prominent Alturas
county men offered him the Republi-
can nomination for the Delegateship.
He also says that he ''thinks strong
er man than Dubois could be select
ed, one who would unite the party
and lead it to success better than our
present Delegate" Mr.. Pride Is off
wrong. The party was never before
more thoroughly united-and it Is
united on Dubois. He is the unani,
nous choice of his party, with the ex'
ception of Pride, and probably one
or two Wood River men who are as
pirants for the nomination.

HALEY TINES: The Hon. G. II.
Berry, who has just been nominated
for Associate Justice of the Idaho
Supreme Court, is an eminent lawyer
and one of the most popular citizens
of Minnesota. Although that State
is strongly Republican Mr.. Berry was
elected Attorney General by large
majority; he is member of the
State Board of Charities, Resident
Director of the State Normal School
at Winona, and has held other public
offices of trust and profit. He is also
Vice President of the Vienna Mining
Company of Vienna, and interested
with Chris. Johnston, of this city, il
the mines of Alton District. He i.
therefore a gentleman of high stand
ing and considerable means, aud hi
name for upright character is house
hold word throughout the State.
He will therefore prove an homo
to the bench and bar Of Idaho.
Judge Berry will doubtless be con
firmed without delay, unless the Sen
ate should conclude to lay all nomin
ations on the table until after tn
Presidential election.

We would indulge in no ungener-
Gus or unfair criticism, but we would
like to inquire where the Montana
delegate was when Mr.. Dubois of
Idaho was making his fight in the
house of representatives few days
ago to have the tariff on lead retained?
Why did Mr.. Toole hesitate on that
occasion TO put in a word for the lead
and silver mines of Montana, many
of whom the passage of the Mills
bill would throw out of employment:
Mr.. Toole has made in many respects
good delegate, but why has he done
nothing and attempted nothing fol

News items are a great scarcity in
these parts just now, and it is hard
work these hot days to fill the local
columns with no material to build
with, and to Manufacture the raw
material and then work it up into
something attractive and readable,
requires more effort and tedious labor
than we propose to heap upon our
talent for the fabrication OF the warp
and woof of fiction out of the wide
realm of the unreal, until the ther-
mometer drops few degrees. This
kind of weather sort OF dries up the
fountains of prevarication, and to turn
the faucet and pour out beautiful
stream of hlgh-grade, entertaining,
delectable lies of the first magnitude,
is out of the question. 1t would re-
quire the power of force-pump to
accomplish this. We'd sooner fish
all summer without getting bite
and fight hungry mosquitoes to relieve
the monotony, than to run paper
one week, this kind of weather, with
no substantial material to work up fol
the local columns.

ni6cent time, and picked more buckle
berries and hooked more fish, than
the whole crew, with huge appetites
both natural and acquired" could
stow away where they would do the
most good. The champion angler
among the girls, by great big odds
was Miss frankie Benedict, and the
champion on the other side was Mr.
Williamson. In fact if these two haG
not been along there would have
been famine up the creek so far al
trout were concerned. The rest o
us were grand successes running
down and capturing defenseles

- Russell, our new boy Auditor, is the
worst two-faced character the people of
Henry county has ever come in contact with.
He will assert thing to-day and tomorrow
will go square back upon it. He puts US
forceably in mind of the story of Pat and the
pig. Pats boss had occasion once upon a
time to send him to neighbours with pig
done up in sack. OF course, Irishman like,
Pat was compelled to stop to light his pipe
at the halfway house and laid the sack down.
While attending to his comfort some mis-
chevious boys exchanged the pig in the sack
for skunk. When ready to start anew Pat
threw the sack over his back and in time ar
rived at the end of his destination. He in
formed the neighbor what he had brought
him, and upon the sack being opened skunk
was found. The neighbor was lrritated to
such an extent that he told Pat to take the
sack and contents back to his boss and show
him that he had sent skunk instead of pig.
Pat started back, and as luck would have it,
stopped at the halfway place to again light
his pipe.(?) The same youngsters we're there
and the skunk was exchanged for the pig
Pat arrived home and told the boss that he
had sent skunk instead of a pig, and to con.
vince his boss that it was so he emptied hi:
sack. But what was Pats astonishment te
see pig! He could only exclaim: "Be
jasus, boss, all DIV got to say is that this pis
can be pig awhile and then skunk awhile!'
Russell, do you see?
