REAPPORTIONNEHT.

Hon. Alex. Mathew, member of
the council from Shoshone county,
has introduced a bill to re-appor-
ton the members of the Legislature
of the several counties of the terri
tory. This is very important
move, inasmuch as there has been
no apportionment for the last four
years, and during that time some
of the counties have greatly in
creased in population and are en-
titled to more representation. The
members Of the legislative council
are apportioned as follows:
To Ada county, one member; Alturas,
two; Bingham, one; Latah, one; Idaho
and Nez Perez, one; Shoshone, one
Owyhee and Cassia, one; Oneida and
Bear Lake, one; Boise aud Washington,
one; Custer and Lemhi, one; Shoshone
and Kootenai, one.
The members Of the house of
representatives are apportioned as
followed:
To Ada county, two members; Alturas,
four; Bingham, two; Bear Lake one
Cassia, one; Custer, one; Idaho, one
Latah, two; Nez Perez, one; Lemhi, one
Kootenai, one; Oneida, one; Owyhee,
one; Shoshone, two; Washington, one;
Washington and Ada, one; Boise, one.

IDAHO LEGISLATURE.

A bill has been introduced in the
House of Representatives to create
the county of Elmore-meaning
the division of Alturas county.
The bill is in the hands of the COM
mittee on counties and county
boundaries. It is thought that the
report of the committee will favor
the formation of the new county.
The proceedings of the legislature
thus far show that but little time
has been devoted to important sub
jects of legislation. The principal
features that have been attracting
the attention OF that honorable
body are: The high license move
ment, the unconstitutional bill in
tended as supplementary to the test
oath, and the joint resolution pro-
testing against statehood for Utah.
Mr.. Metcham, the father of the
high license bill, arose in his seat
last Tuesday and asked leave to
withdraw his bill, but as the
measure was in the hands of the
committee his request was denied.
The reason assigned for this "craw-
fish move on the part Of the honor
able member is, it is said, that if
the bill should pass, it would dis
please a large element and be the
means Throwing the state conven-
ton to be held next winter into the
hands of the democrats, killing anti
mormonism, and leading straight
way to the "bug-a-boo" supremacy
of the Mormon hierarchy in the
state of Idaho.
We will hail with profound graf
itude the day when Idaho shall be-
come one of the bright stars in the
galaxy of states. And whether the
convention to form state govern
ment shall be composed of demo-
Gratis, republicans or anti-mormons,
there need be no fears entertained
that the new state will ever fall
into the clutches of such a power
as the mormon hierarchy" There
is too much intelligence in vast
majority of the people of Idaho to
ever entertain such a wish, much
less invite such calamity.

secret spot with chemical liquid
which eliminated the ordinary i'm
purities found in all sugars. This
doctored sugar was then carted to
the factory in bags purporting to
contain raw sugar. The chemicals
used crystalized the cubes to large
extent and when broken they had
finer appearance and quality than
sugar was ever known to possess.
The scheme was cleverly worked
and the stockholders and officers of
the company had the utmost conf
dence in the future Of the process,
until the largest possible amount
of money had been secured and
then the bubble was allowed to
burst. There is no such process as
electrical sugar refining, and the
bugbear of the sugar trust is dead.
The loss to the stockholders is over
a million dollars. It was reported
last March that Friend was dead,
and the factory has since been con-

England has a new diplomatic
row on hand, beside which the
scandal caused by Lord Sackville's
indiscretion in Washington sinks
into insignifcance. England's en-
bassador to St. Petersburg is the
victim this time. The German pa
pers charge that Marshal Bazaine
was apprised of the movements OF
the German troops through dis
patches sent to London by Sir Rob
ert B. D. Morier, now ambassador
to st. Petersburg. Count Herbert
Bismarck treated the English diplo-
mat with very scant courtesy, and
some very sharp letters passed be-
tween them. There is strong belief
in London, which has evidently a
good foundation, that the charges
in the German papers were inspired
by high officials, and that Bismarck
desires Sir Robert Morier's recall
from st. Petersburg, fearing that
he will promote too friendly rela-
tons between England and Russia.
The London press is very indignant,
and there have been some very Sc
we're things said about Prince Bis
marck and his more youthful imi-
tators.
The news comes that Bismarck's
health is very bad, and he has been
ordered by his physician to remain
in strict repose and not go to Berlin.
There have been terrible snow
storms in Russia, where blockaded
railroad trains caused more suffer
ing than was ever experienced on
our own overland roads. A train
became blockaded in an immense
snow drift, and before it got out
fourteen passengers persisted from
the intense cold and twenty others
were badly frost-bitten. A relief
party which started out to rescue
the imperiled passengers lost their
way and died in the snow.

Latest advices from the east pretty
surely indicate that the owners of
the great Anaconda copper mine, at
Butte, Montana, have at last sue
cumbed to the CLUB" of the French
syndicate, stopping the production
of the mine for two years with the
privilege of an extension of twelve
years, thus paralyzing one of the
most extensive copper mining in
dustries of the world; and what
is worse, depriving thousands of
laborers of employment, and send
ing them out to deal with the cold
charities of theworld in mid winter.
If the transaction between the own
ers of the Anaconda mine and the
French syndicate be true as pur-
ported by the dispatches, it is a
striking example of the powerful
influence and effect of capital
against labor.

Chicago Times.1
''We were leaving the harbor at Sidney
one trip" said the sailor, "and as we cleared
the offing we met a passenger steamer Just
in from Frisco. AS we passed the steamer a
huge 16-foot shark that had evidently made
the entire passage in the steamers wake
turned and followed us. The shark seemed
to have some treasure aboard, as it sat low
in the water, kind of water-logged, as it
were, and it was with great difficulty it
managed to keep up with US. Some of the
fellows. proposed that we capture the big
fish and explore its interior, so we rugged
up hook, baited it with a 20-pound morseI
of pork, and soon had Mr.. Shark in tow.
By passing the line through snatch-block
on the main yard-arm and taking a turn
with pull around the capstan we hoisted
the brute aboard, and as the fish dropped on
deck its stomach spread out like collapsed
balloon. One blow from a handspike broke
the creatures back and then we held post
mortem which disclosed the most varied
assortment of Junk ever beheld.
First came a folded campstool, then a
wire hustle, sheet-iron bread pan, 10 bot
ties, champagne and beer. some broken, a
pillow, 10 soiled towels, bible, enc cork
screw with wooden handle, white vest
and tin spittoon, a sealskin cap, busheI
of cigar stubs, an embroidered slipper, some
clinkers, breakfast shaw, il old socks out
at the toes, clay pipes, a loaded revolver,
bunch of keys, 2 pocket knives, razor and
whisk broom, 1 fatiron and pair of
pants, % upper and lower sets of false
teeth, cork leg, S3 tin cans, several broken
packs of cards.8 photographs, mostly young

sis that all you found?" asked one of the
young men in faint voice.
"Yes," replied the sailor promptly,
'that's all we found inside the shark, but
noticed that when it turned away from the
steamer to follow US it disgorged about 25
yards of the steamers wake, which it had
swallowed when the other things were
coming too slow"

AN INSECT WITH $4,000 EYES.
Numerous Visual Organs Of the Beetle and
Ofher Smnll Creatures.

Numerous Visual Organs of the Beetle and
Ofher Small Creatures.
Newcastle (England) Chronicle.1
Are insects short-sighted? is a problem
which many naturalists have set themselves
to solve, and out of the evidence brought in
favor or against the proposition, interesting
information can occasion ally be CLEANED.
On one hand, it is argued that sight is the
most important sense which insects possess,
and in support of this assertion it is pointed
out that the eyes are generally very numer-
ods, tnat they command wide field ofYiev,
and that they are mostly present in two, or
even in three different forms. But against
this may be cited the fact, that there are
many insects-notably the myrmecophilous
beetles-whieh have no eyes at all, while it
has also been asserted that owing to the con-
vexity of the facets which make up the COM
pound eyes, vision, even when present, can
only be found of service at close quarters.
The facets of the eye-masses are exceed
ingly numerous, and are so arranged as to
command a view in almost every direction,
without any necessity for turning the head.
The ant, which is comparatively slow in its
movements, and in which flight is restricted
to the single ascent made by the males and
females before pairing, there are no more
than 80 distinct facets in the eye. In one of
the most sluggish of our British beetles
Blaps ucronata-there are about 25O,
while in Meloe, (which is somewhat more
active, there are nearly twice as many. In
certain dragon flies there are L, 900, in some
swittwinged butterflies II, 900, and in the
Mordella, a very active beetle, upward of
$4,000. Besides these compound eyes, there
are in most insects, though not in all,
very limited number of simple eyes or oceli,
which are generally situated upon the upper
part of the head, and these bear a distinct
resemblance, as far as the general character
of their structure is concerned, to the eyes
of the higher animals.
With anatomists it has always been a
question whether insects do or do not see
with more facets than one at time. 1t is,
of course, out of the question that all can be
simultaneously employed, but whether
groups of these facets see in different
directions, and each group conveys one i'm
preston, just as our two eyes do, has not
been determined. The highly developed
character of the eyes of insects, and their
invariable presence in those species to
which they could by any possibility be of
service, seems against the theory of short or
imperfect sight. while it certainly favors
the view that sight is the most important of
an insects senses.

JOHN AND HIS JOSS.
Strange Forms of Worship Prncticed By
Chinese Men and Women.

Strange Forms of Worship Prncticed by
Chinese Men and Women.
When John Chinaman goes to pray in his
own orthodox style. and not "allee samee
Melikan man." he stands on carpet in
front of the high altar on which sits the
life-sized, gorgeously-dressed god, "Joss."
In his hand helholds two pieces Of wood,
round on one side and fat on the other,
After saying his prayers he drops these on
the carpet, and according as they fall he
knows whether or not the prayer is an
swered. If both sticks fall on their fat
side the omen is very bad; If one falls on the
fiat, the other on its round side, his prayer
is granted; if both fall on their round sides
it is sign of being partly granted.
Another way Of praying is by means Of
small strips Of red paper, on which the
prayer is printed and then pinned to the
wall near the door. If Chinese woman
wishes for son she sends in her printed
slip; if Chinaman wishes to send horse
or house to some departed spirit he cuts
out an image of 1t on the slip. Fire is the
means Of Communicating with heaven, 50
after awhile the priest burns all these paper
prayers in q handsome bronze furnace
which stands outside the door, and thus
they are supposed to go direct to heaven.

pace, which should be the, object of all
breeding and training; 1t may be wonderful
that horse can fly so far in minute, but
1t is of little actual use; what is of infinite,
OF incalculable general use is that the horse
should be able to go at a good sound pace
for number of consecutive hours, and keep
robust frame and hardy constitution
through a fatiguing work.
Racing not only tortures tens of thousands
of young horses uselesslyS but sends out
into the world numbers of poor young ami
mails who have broken down under train
ing, and who, with frame deoilitaied for
ever, strained tendons, and aching hearts,
are drafted into cab and hack work and
know nothing but suffering from the trainers
box to the knacker's yard. The trotters of
New YORK and the 2-year-olds of New
market may be stupendous, miraculous, in
credible, but they are produced at cruel
cost, and they are of no real benefit either to
horses or to men. OUIDA.
