COUNTY DIVISION.

The editor of the Bellevue Herald
is again getting bot in the collar over
the county division question. He
does not know, nor does he seem to
care, where the line or lines should be
drawn, but that he wants the county
divided, and into several parts, he is
as bold in affirming, as he is lacking
in reasons for the proposition.
A heavy Indebtedness hangs over
&his county for the payment of which
principal and interest-every cents
worth Of property within Its present
boundaries is liable. The rate OF
taxation, reckoning school taxes but
emitting the frequent calls for more
or less charitable purposes, is fully
four per cent.--s4 on the 800 of
valuation-per annum. 1t is there.
fore enormous, and, were not this a
new country, where values increase
rapidly, would be too onerous to be
borne.
Yet the Herald man wishes to
double or qnadruple the burdens OF
the taxpayers by dividing the territory
OF Alturas into at least two, and pos
sibly four, counties!

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Mn. Different Claimants 10 Mining
Ground Required to Appear In Single
Shit

GrOEnd Required to Appear In Single
Suit.
N. Y. Enginei ring md Mining Journal
Judge Brewer of the u. S. Circu,
Court, Denver, has recently made in
the case of Hyman VS.. Wheeler ct al,
an important decision which was re-
ported in the Tribune Republican Of
this city, January 22d, 1888. The
plaintiff in equity sought to have nine
different parties, holding claims adj
jacent or near to his own, enjoined
from inslituting various suits in dil-
ferent courts and called upon to come
into one case, to set up their titles,
aud have them all asserted and de-
termined in one litigation, alleging
that he was the owner and possesser
OF certain vein, having its apex
within certain boundaries of his claim,
and that the claims Of all the defend
ant casts a cloud upon his title.
Demurrers were filed to this bill on
the ground that there was no unity
of interest among the various defend
ants, since they did not claim the
same piece of property. or base their
claims upon the same reasons. 1t
WAS further asserted that the case was
not properly an equity case, and that
to uphold an equity jurisdiction of it
would be to deny to the defendants
the right of jury trial. Judge
Brewer overruled the demurrers, hold.
Jog, in accordance with the case of
The Railroad Company VS.. Dyer
Sawyer, 64l), that where there is
single tito to continuous property,
and that title rests upon one state OF
facts, one grant, and there are
many persons who, with in
ferior titles or claims, are
threatening litigation, although their
claim may spring from diileren,
sources, court of equity has power,
in order to give to the holder of this
single property the full enjoyment of
such property, to summon all such
parties in sing 10 suit, and in that,
by decree, establish the plaintiffs
title, and restrain all the defendants
from further litigation or interference.
he adds, that to discourage multi
plicity Of suits Is fair ground of
equity jurisdiction; but it may wei.
be in many cases that when the test
mony is presented there will appear
such a doubtful question Of fact that a
chancellor would say that it ought to
go to jury, and decline to entertain
further jurisdiction.
The decision, which appears to us
10 be perfectly sound, indicates a way
in which much expensive litigation
may be avoided by mine owners. In
most cases involving mining titles
there are numerous diff cult questions
OF law as we'll as of fact. 1t is usually
the party having the weaker case who
insists upon jury trial, desiring to
get the benefit Of the uncertainties
vlich attend the verdicts Of ju,ics,
particularly when corporations are
arties. a mining company threat
ened with attack, or forced to consider
the Feasibility of bringing suit against
intruders, will be muoa better pro-
tec,ea in its rights if it oan present
them first before judge sitting in
equity.

Treasures Of the Ash Barrel.

A New York Te'egram reporter had
occasion to pass by the rear door OF a
millionaire's mansion on Fifth avenue,
near Fifty-seventh street, and seeing An
old woman ragpicker head downward in
the .stony" folks ash barrel, was
prompted by curiosity to stand by and
await developments.
In less time than it takes 70 tell it the
ash barrel developed the following arti-
cles, the old woman fishing them out as
a sleight- of hand man might fish nursery
articles out of bachelors silk hat:
"One lace curtain with embroidered
monogram, broken-headed bottle half
full Of champaign, loaf of cake, high
heeled shoe almost new, small picture
of Mary Queen of Scots, q good bright
dishpan, a full dress shirt protector of
black satin, somewhat stained in front,
wire hustle, large black stone (evi-
IDENTIFY an ornament thrown out among
the coalsl, cuspidore, half of a roast
fowl, battered case of cigarettes, a
green petticoat, bundle of newspapers
with a string run through them, and .
bunch of withered roses" The old
woman hnrriedly clapped the best of the
traps into her bag and made off in great
glee, evidently fearing that the reporter
was envying her, so eagerly had he
watched the proceedings.

The Origin of EARRINGS.

According to the Moslem creed the
reason why every Mohammedan lady
considers it her duty to wear ear rings
is attributed to the following Curious
legend: Sarah, tradition tells US, was so
Jealous of the preference shown by Abra-
ham for Hagar that she took a solemn
VOW that she would give herself no rest
until she had muti!ated the fair face of
her hated rival and bondmaid. Abra-
ham, who had knowledge of his wife's
intention, DID his utmost to pacify his
embittered spouse, but long in vain. At
length, however, she rclented, and de-
cided to forego her plan of revenge. But
how was she to fulfill the terms of the
VOW she had entered into? After mature
reflection she saw her way out of the
difficulty. Instead of disfgurirg the
lovely features of her bondmaid she con-
tented herself with boring hole in each
3f the rosy lobcs of her ears. The legend
docs not inform us whether Abraham
arterward felt it incumbent upon him to
mitigate the smart of these little wounds
by the gift of a costly pair Of earrings,
or whether Hagar procured the trinkets
for herself. The fact remains, however,
that the Turkish women, all of wnom
wear earrings from their seventh year,
derive the use of these jewels from
Hagar, who is held in vencration as the
mother of Ishmacl, the founder Of their
race.-Je,cd rs mpier.

THE NIOLETS

Snow in the air, and snow on the fields, and
snow, cold snow, on the hill.
Calmly the lilies are sleeping yet, and violets
sleeping still.
Time ye were walked, tits time ye were stirred ;
we wait your promise of May,
And the modest sheen of your purple and
green thrusting the snow away.
Yet shall the violets wake, know, and earth
shall be glad once more;
But, oh, for spring to revisit the souls whose
springtime once is DER.
Never flower or bud for them, but only a
wintry glow;
But only to sit with hopeless eyes and gaze
in vain at the snow.
Yiolets nursed by Springs soft hand, then
fall'n by despot's sway!
Hot of themselves did the violets die; souls OF
themselves decay.
SWeetly the violets lived their lives. .contented
in sun and in rain,
Who helpless were made to blossom and fade
sweetly shall blossom again.
Dincs not your winter yourselves ye brought,
vio.ets! rightly ye wake.
Right, too, alas thatsouls should sleep-souls
which their winter make.
Do violets gay may laugh at decay, with
many spring time in store.
Ho keep Your spring while ye may, ye souls;
once passed it shall come no more.

An Important Question.

s'What is the most interesting age in
woman2" was q question recently dis
cussed by an artist, an author and a
woman of society. The artist said that
he did not like to paint the portraits of
those between the ages of twenty-five
and forty years. Before twenty-five the
face has an expectancy which charms.
1t is looking forward with joyous fresh
ness and hope, and is full of puzzling
promises. At forty years the character
is formed, and the lines of the counter
ance are strong for the painters study;
but in intervening years the face has lost
its expectancy, is apt 10 be indifferent
and has no particular interest.
The author differed from the artist.
He liked to study women between the
ages of thirty and forty. Theyhad then
the experience of the world and the
ioyousncss of youth. In those years
they were brightest and most interest
ing. The society woman thought that
it was impossible to make general
answers to the question, as individual
women differ in regard to the most at
tractive age. Some are most charming
at sixty years, while others have passed
their prime at twenty. The best answer
would be that women arc always beauti-
full to the friends who love them. Boston

The Horse Ouecn of Idaho.

Woman's business development in an
unusual direction is in the case of Miss
Kittie G. Wilkins, called also "The
Horse Queen of Idaho" She was started
in business, she says, twenty years ago in
Oregon, when she was two years old and
her family was about leaving the Terri
tory to return TO California. Their
friends were giving them various parting
presents, and 'the little one" was given
$50 apiece by two men, with an in juno
tioa that it be Invested for her benefit.
Some time afterward her father went to
Idaho aud into the stock business. He
bought once lot of horses, and when he
had picked them out, saw fine filly let,
and thinking of ''the little ones" $40,
offered that much for the horse, and
finally got it for that along with the rest,
although the owner first wanted $50.
The increase of that filly was the basis of
her fortune. After an education got at
San Jose, she travelled for some
time in the East and then
returned to Idaho and settled
down to run a horse farm, for the lack
of something better to do. The wilkins
Company of Idaho does business in both
horses and cattle, but her private
specially is horses, of which she owns 700
or 500. She has sold many hundreds of
them. She raises Percherons, Morgans,
Normars, IIambletonians, and other
breeds. She says that it is much more
profitable than cattle raising and less
risky, and besides that she calls it fasci-
mating and nice. She lives on the Bru-
neau River, in Owyhee County, fifty

IsinglaSS.

Isinelass consists of the dried swim
ming bladder of different fishes. The
bladdcrs vary much in shape, according
to their orig gin, and they are prepared
for the market in various ways. Some
are simply died while slightly distended,
forming pipe isinglass. When there
are natural openings in these tubes, they
arc called purses. When the swimming
bladders are slit open, hattened, and
dried, they are known as leaf isinglass.
The uses of isinglass are not very va
r;ed. The largest quantity is used by
brewers and wine merchants for clarity
ing their goods. There seem to be only
six isinglass cutters, all being domiciled
in London. The machines for cutting are
we'll and accurately made, and are 50
ad ,usted that they slice pieces off sheet
of paper without stirring or bending. 1t
in the least. For the ''tine cut isIn'
glass in which chemists arc interested,
these machines are run at great speed.
1000 to $500 revolutions, making 0,ooo
to -. 900 cuts in a minute. 1t takes an
hour to cut lb. or 6 lb., 80 that each
pound would contain 100, 900 to 125,.
900 separate tibers if none of them was
broken. The actual number must be
very much greater.-Scientyfc american.

Creek Peasant Girls.

A Greek peasant girl takes an active
part in household duties, and helps to
spin, card, wind and weave or knit the
wool, flax and silk used for the garments
of the family. She leads her fathers
flock to pasture, and under the title of
Ioskopoula, steals the heart of shepherd
swains, and is by them immortalized in
rustic song. On Sundays and feast days
she rests from her toll, and, with her
companions, dances the antique syrto, or
long drawn dance on the village green.
If there is more than one daughter in
a peasants family she is sent out to ser
vice in some ncighGoring town. Very
frequently, if the girl is we'll conducted,
and especially should she happen to be
an orphan, she is adopted as a member
of the family into which she entered as q
ps, ,chopaina, or 'soul child" In that
case, if still young. she is sent to school
for year or two, is clothed and cared
for. She receives no wages, but when
she arrives at the age of twenty-five or
six she is lowered and married from the
house of her adoption.

Hot Water for Black Eyes.

There is a worldwide superstition that
as soon as man gets black eye he must
use cold applications for hours, and that
the best cold apple 'tlon possible is raw
beef call it a superstition because it
is without reason and against reason.
Everybody knows that what makes a
discoloration of the skin by bruise is
the congestion of the part with the
blood that cannot get away again, so
that it decomposes and changes lis color,
and everybody ought to know that the
way to prevent such result is to facili-
tate and stimulate the circulation IN the
bruised part.
A cold application retards the circula-
tlcn, and the best thing to stimulate it is
hot applications. Twicein my life was
Threatened with a black eye. On the frs;
occasion I applied raw beef and Other
cold applications and succeeded in pro.
ducing the blacklist eye ever saw. On
the second occasion I got some hot water
right away and bathed the eye for about
half an hour in it. The result was that
there was not the slightest discoloration
visible at any time. These hints are wei
worth pasting in the hats of some people
in Chicago. - ChieGyo Journal.
