SONG.

Oh. lore, come On the sea gir sands
Where the strong sea clngs with crystal hands;
For the ebon pinions Of night are stayed;
And, In her tresses Of gold arrayed.
She waits with ne on the desert shore
TIL thou shalt come out, fair Eleaaore,
On the sea girt sands.
Oh, love, come out meath the twinklfng skies,
And gaze far down through my burning eyes,
And see where the wings Of waiting love,
With sun bright plunes Ike the purple dove.
Are beating the bars o. the secret door
OF my heart for thee, sweet Eleansre,
Meath the tEinkling SKIES
Oh, love. come out BIZ the sleeping sea,
Be worshiped by the stars and ne
! have secret here TO tell
Thy heart already knows it well;
But thou shalt hear lis melody
Re-echoed by the waves for thee,
By the sleeping sea-

A Library il Siberia.

From the house OF the governor went,
upon his recommendation, to the public
library, an unpretending log house in the
middle of the town x mere | found small
anthropological museum, q comfortable
little reading room supplied with all the
Russian newspapers and magazines, and a
well chosen collection OF about l, coo books,
among which | was somewhat surprised to
find the works Of Spencer, Buckle, Lewes,
Mil, Tame, Lubbock, Tylor, Huxley, Oar
win. Lyell. TyndaQ, Alfred Russell Wal
lace, Mackenzie Wallace and Sir Henry
Maine, as well as the novels and stories
Of Scott, Dickens. Marryat, George Eliot,
George Macdonald, Anthony Trollope,
Justin Mccarthy, Erckmann Chatrian, Ed
gar Allan Poe and Bret Earte. The
library was particularly strong in the de-
partments Of science and political economy,
and the collection of books, as a whole,
was in the highest degree sreditable to
the intelligence and taste Of the people
who made and used it. It gave NE
better opinion of Sernipalatinsk than any
thing that had thus far seen CT heard.
Most OF the works of the scientific au-
thors above named were expurgated Rus
sian editions. Almost every chapter Of
Lecky's History of Ratioualism" had
had been defaced by the censor, and in a
hasty examination of it | found gaps
where from ten to sixty pages had been
cut out bodily. Even in this nutilated
form, and In the remote Siberian town Of
Senipalatinsk, the book WAS such an OBJ
iect of terror to cowardly government
that it had been quarantined by order Of
the Tsar and could not be issued to a
reader without special permission from
the minister Of the interior A similar
taboo had been placed upon the works of
Spencer, Mil, Lewes, Lubbock, Huxley
and Lyel, Notwithstanding the fact that
the censor had cut out of them every
thing that seemed to him to have dan
gerous" or "deInoralizing" tendency

4 pisSrscefpl Spectacle.

1t is difficult to imagine anything more
horrible or revolving than the spectacle Of
woman hanging by her teeth TO the car
of a balloon until the machine has risen
out of sight. l think it is a disgrace to
our age that, while we legis,ate for the
protection Of life and limb IN al kinds OF
industrial employment, no check should
be placed on shows rhe only attraction OF
which is the danger to the performer.
The evil will, however, I suppose, always
exist as long as there is free competition
between managers and free competition
between the poor creatures who risk their
lives to earn their living. but that is one
reason, ct least, why the law ought to
step in and put stop to such dissrsceful

Cut out" as we are from The main
political herd, we must be satisfied to

for the admission of Idaho as a state of
the Union. 1t is gratifying to know
that we are preserved intact" This.
no doubt, is the same as being picked
in alcohol, and we are liable to be
bottled up" for some time to come.
Our political isolation, however, cannot
rob our soil of its marvellous productive
ness nor our climate Of its delightful
summers and tropical winters. We are
in the agricultural garden of the North
west and our commercial greatness is
sure TO follow III the progressive order of
'hihgs. Our citizens are becoming alive
to the interests involved in the stupen-
dous, natural resources of Northern
ldaho. It is bank of secure deposit
for capital and energies. 1t will yield an
immense profit upon the investment.
Ere long one or both of our natural
traffic thorougfares of North Idaho-the
valleys Of the Snake and Clearwater
rivert-will be utilized by railroad capi-
tai to bring US into intimate business
relations with the east and west. The
growth and development of this section

mas endowed II with too many attrac-
tions and permanent advantages to per-
NIT it to sleep in idleness and disuse.
nat is now required on our part, rs
citizens, Is active effort and hntiring
industry in letting the world know of
our latent wealth awaiting the genius Of
proper cultivation.

narrow escape from cremation and was

AN IMPORTANT DECISION N
Inc supreme Court Decides the Cattle and
Sheep case In Favor of the Sheep Men.

The case of NcGinnis VS.. Friedman
is known as the cattle and ehee case.
and the controversy involves the right
to the use ofthe public ranges. Section
S72 Of the Code is as follows:
SECTION S72.-Any person ow ming or
having charge OF sheep who herds, or
permits or suffers the same to be herded.
grazed or pastured on any cattle range
previously occupied by cattle, or uron
any range usually occupied by any cat
lie-grower, either az spring, sumner
or winter range for his cattle, il guilty
OF mlsdemeanor; but the possessory
right between cattle and sheep owners
10 any range is determined by the pri-
ority IN the usual and customary use of
such range. either as a cattle or sheen
range.
The sheep men have always claimed
that this law was unconstitutional. and
both cattle and sheep men desired to
test the matter in the supreme court.
In order to make test case MdGinnis
and other cattle men brought suit by
injunction to restrain Friedman from
placing his sheep on the Clear creek
range, which was always a cattle range.
In the decision the court holds that the
law is unconstitutional, on the ground
that it makes an inviduous distinction
in favor of the cattle men, and that pri-
or occupation of range does not give
cattle men better right to it,; that
cattle-raising and sheep-raising are both
legitimate industries and equally en-
titled to protection. It will be observed
that the law above quoted make it
misdemeanor for sheep man to put
his sheep on cattle range, but does not
make it misdemeanor for a cattle man
to put his cattle on sheep range, No
one denies the wisdom or policy of a
law to separate cattle and sheep On the
public ranges, as they will not thrive
together; but it seems that the present
law will not answer the purpose.
