1t was not many years ago that
men boasted that the gentler sex could
never enter any of the fields of the
Adamite side of the human family,
and gain a sustenance grazing on
those hitherto forbidden grounds,
grazing grounds on which women
were forbidden to enter by stand
ing, unwritten decree that has stood
the test from earliest history until
modern times. 1t was decreed that
women were incompetent to master
any of the professions, and that even
if they were, they would be out of
their sphere in what had been termed
the "6elds of man." But with the

THE PocATkLLo TOWNSHIP.
Pocatello Reporter.

The citizens of Pocatello were
startled one day this week by a proc-
iamatlon from the high and mighty
power at Ross Fork, warning those
who have built houses on the lands
embraced in the proposed townsite
ceded by the Indians more than
year ago and ratified by an act Of
Congress passed more than Eve
months ago, that they secured no
rights or advantages; that they were
trespassers, and that all buildings are
or will be forfeited. This procIama-
ton was supplemented the next day
by the appearance in Pocatello Of a
representative of the Indian Agent,
who proceeded to close the stores of
F. w. Walker, NJ. E. Bennett and
l.. A. West, and day or two later,
all other stores, including meat mar
ket, etc. The notices served on the
parties named stated that the Secre-
tary of the Interior had ordered the
places of all persons doing business
in Pocatello, who could not produce
licenses as traders, to be closed.
1t is mild way of stating the case
to say that the people were seized
with CONSERVATION and dread. In
dignation had but little place among
most of those affected. To nearly
all it seemed the loss of all they had,
and this feeling, added to the fear
that the mighty arm of the govern
ment would tear down the little
homes that had been built to shelter
loved ones, paralyzed the inmates ol
hitherto happy homes, and grief un-
utterable resided in every nook and
corner of our bustling little town
kilograms were forwarded to the au
thorites in Washington and to Dele
gate Dubois, and yesterday the store
of F. X. Walker and M. E. Bennett
resumed business upon telegraphl
authority from the National Capital
but the situation as to the homes Q
the people remains unchanged, ant
all concerned await with great ankle
ty the next step in the grand act o
enforcing the statutes enacted for th
government of Indian country.

LinroIn,s First speech.

Judge Bell, of Mount Catmell, lll.'
furnishes the following maiden speech
of Abraham Lincoln, delivered at
Pappaville near Springfield, His,
nearly fifty years ago. Lincoln was
not then lawyer, and had no inten-
ton of becoming lawyer. He had
then made up his mind to learn the
blacksmith trade. His genius was
recognized, and he was suddenly
nominated for the Legislature. His
first speech is most interesting at this
time. 1t was as follows: "Gentle'
men and fellow citizens, presume

When General Grant was asked, "did

replied, "No, did not. Lee came there
wearing the magnificent sword which
the State of Virginia gave him, but / did
not want him to surrender it to me. l
sat down at once and busted myself writ.
ing the terms Of the surrender. When l
had finished I handed them to General
Lee. He read them and remarked.
They certainly are very generous terms.
indeed He then told me the cavalry
men owned their horses, and if they
were deprived of them they could not
put in the crops. Then ! gave the ORDER
Take your horses home with You, for
