ing. BY 2 P. NJ. the Van Wyck
school house was crowded and eager
little ones waited with impatience the
drawing Of the curtain which unveil-
ed the Christmas Tree. At o'clock
the meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Chas. Dukes, who addressed the
children in few we'll chosen words
suited to the occasion. Then COM
menced the distribution of the many
beautiful and useful presents with
which the tree was laden. After the
tree had been removed, dinner was
served, and such dinner! My pen
fails me. Mr.. Editor, you should
have been there. Now for the dance.
We commenced at dark and danced
till midnight, when a splendid lunch
was spread and everybody invited to
partake. After the lunch the dance
went merrily on till daylight. For
ty-one numbers were sold, and many
more wanted numbers, but thought
they would have to wait too long fol
their turn, as but two sets could dance
at one time.
Our Lyceum continues to be &
source of much instruction and amuse
ment, and its weekly meetings are
well attended.

The Boise City Democrat, in an
article in relation to the construction
of big canals to irrigate the Snake
River plain, says:
AS no surveys have been made, no
reliable estimate can be formed as to
the cost of these canals-one upon
Zach side of Snake river-yet rough
annroximate estimate of ten thousand
dollars per mile, average, would prob
ably cover all the cost. If the lrrl-
gable valley on each side should av-
erage twelve miles IN width we
would have 1850 acres to be benefit
ted bv each mile of canal; this at
sl25 per acre would equal The cost,
bnt even at four or five dollars per
acre it would still be cheap, insIgnlh-
cant indeed, when the result TO be
achieved is considered. Instead OF
the Government donating sage brush
homesteads to individuals who can
not enter upon extensive business
like irrigation, let 1t donate all OF the
Snake river valley to the Territory OF
Idaho and loan her the money with
which to build the canals. BY the
sale of the land to actual settlers
this loan would be speedily repaid
and this great, wide and fertile val
lev filed with prosperous farmers
who would make of these vast PLAINS
a veritable Egypt.
In the sale Of this land, after the
,ost of the work to be done and th'
amount of land available shall be as
certained, provisions could be made
hv . moderate water rent to meet al
the ordinary Territorlal-or State
r ov,enses for all time. Examples ar

Boise City last week to have another
surgical operation performed on his
neck. A rising formed on the neck
a few weeks ago, which DIR. Girard

as large as before. Last Friday the
lump was removed by Drs. Gifard

performing the operation. The lump
was the size of hens egg, and was
covered with hair. The doctors pro-

months together on the great un-
winding cylinder, and is now rolling
off October instead of January. The
south hill sides are bare, and the
snow is very thin on the north sides
not enough to cover the grass
and we have had no biting cold wealth
er. Early this month thermometer
indicated a degree or two below zero
Since then the weather has been very
mild. This, as a winter, is failure
and the traits of character of the
present jar uary are equaled only b,
one other within the memory of the

of snow fell, which was about all VIZ

The occasion of the GOODNESS of the Ger
man newspapers towards Stanley is the
charge which the explorer made against
Emin of vacillation. Stanley. it will be re-
membered, waited some months in Emin's
province while the latter was making up his
mind to go or to stay. Naturally enough the
explorer blamed Emin for the bad results of
this delay, and in his letters gave expression
to this feeling. Emin is German. and it is
this tie of nationality which impels the Ger
man papers to relieve Emin of the blame
and saddle it on Stanley. The ground they
take is that Stanley's expedition when it ar
rived IN Emin's province was so disorsan-
lied that 1t needed assistance instead of be-
ing able to give it, and that the real ques
ton presented to Emin was whether he
would use his forces to conduct Stanley out
of the wilderness. AS, however, Emin had
been a prisoner shortly before Stanley made
his last appearance in his province and had
barely escaped with his life. it looks as if
the position his friends are now taking was
entirely untenable.

News from Brazil by way of Montevideo
Is not SO flattering as to the prospects of the
Republic as news that comes direct from Rio
Janeiro. This may be due to the fact that
strict censorship of the dispatches is en-
forced at the latter place. Of course II cam
not be asserted that the stories by way of
Mcntevideo are trustworthy, but it must be
confessed that they wear an air of probabili-
ty. That nation like Brazil should make a
radical change of its form of government
without firing shot, and that that change
should continue 10 be accepted by all the
people quietly and calmly were extremely
improbable, and il rioting has broken out,
as the MoEtevideo dispatches say, it is no
more than was to be expected. In view of
the uncertainty prevailing as to the condition
of affairs in the new republic it is evident
that our Senate made no mistake in refer
ring the resolution of recognition offered by
Senator Morgan te the committee on foreign
affairs for further inquiry.
