GOLD IN BOISE BASIN,

Boise county 1t is claimed that more
than ten millions of gold has been taken
therefrom and that a great deal more than
that sum still remains buried in the various
bars and creeks of that vicinity.
Hon. George Ainslie has interested
himself in getting up a company and the
work will soon commence. A new saw
saw mill has arrived, which is about to be
put up TO furnish lumber for the enterprise.
II the venture proves successful, ii will
give employment to large number of men
and cause trade to become more lively. An
effort was made to induce the Standard OH
company to embark in this scheme, but
after taking long time TO deliberate they
refused to do so. Some quartz mines have
been discovered about eighteen miles

stage route Like all new strikes they are

found is upon some low hills where no one

strip of land is as follows: About five years
ago the Union Pacific proposed to our citi-

into this town if right of way could be
secured to them without expense. Forty
five thousand dollars was raised and such
right of way secured After some grading
had been done the subscribers were mott
fed that the road would not be built, and
the land was reconveyed four years ago the
past summer. Since then considerable cor
respondence has taken place between the
owners and the officers of the Oregon Paci
fic, and we think it has been the intention
for the past two years to donate the same
to the last named road. Most of our people
look upon it as trick of President Adams
to tie up the property so our citizens can
not make use of it as

If the Union Pacific again becomes pos

be conciliatory, and your correspondent is

According to The Chicago Inter
Ocean, Benjamin Franklin was the
first to discover that storms in this
country travel from west to east. He
was interested in observing an eclipse,
and found that while the observations
were spoiled in Philadelphia by a rain
storm that came on just at the begin
ming of the eclipse, the sky was clear
at Boston until after the eclipse was
over. BY communicating with inter
vening towns, he learned hat the
storm travelled eastward at a uniform
rate. Simultaneous observations taken
in all parts of the country show that
nearly all great storms follow the
same general direction-from the west
TO the east. The same is rue of hot
or cold waves. Therefore, to tell what
the weather will be in advance, we
have only TO find out the conditions
prevailing west of us. This is practi-
cally the course pursued by the signal

How Did Art Begin in Greeoe9

How often must the student of fine
art wish he had the same sort of knowl-
edge about its earlier growth in Greece
he actually possesses in the case of the
Italian. Given any development at
all in these matters, there must have
been phases of art which, if immature,
were also veritable expressions of
power, intermediate discoveries of
beauty, such as are by no means q
mere anticipation of service only as
explaining historically larger subse-
quent achievements, but of permanent
att~ractiveness in themselves, being
often, indeed, the true maturity of GER
tain amiable artistic qualities. And
in regard to Greek art at its best, the
Parthenon, no less than to medieval
art at its best, the Sistine chapel, the
more instructive light would be de-
rived rather from what precedes than
what follows its central success, from
the determination to apprehend the
fulfllment of past adventures rather
than the eve of decline in this critical
moment, which partakes of both.
OF such early promise, early achieve
ment, we have in the case of Greek
art little to compare with what is ex-
ant of the youth of the arts in Italy
while Overbeck's careful gleanings of
its history form indeed a sorry relic
as compared with the limitations of
Vasari regarding the Renaissance.
Fired by certain fragments of its
earlier days, of a beauty, in truth, alb
solute, and vainly longing for more,
the student of Greek sculpture in
dulges an ideal of youthful energy
therein, yet withal of youthful self
restraint, and again, as with survivals
of old religion, its privileged home,
he f%ancies, must have been in those
venerable Attic townships, as to a
large extent it passed away with them.

An eccentric clergymen in Corn
wall had been much annoyed by a
way the members of his congregation
had got into of looking round to take
stock of late corners After enduring
the annoyance for some time, he said,
on entering the reading desk one day:
Brethren, l regret to see that your
attention is called away from your re-
lgious duties by your very natural
desire to see who comes in behind you.
l propose, henceforth, to save you the
trouble by naming each person who
may enter, and 1 hope the service will
then be allowed to proceed without in
terruption." He then began: Dearly
beloved" but paused half way to in
terpolate, Farmer Stubbins, with his
wife and daughter"
Farmer Stubbins looked rather sur
prised, but the minister, with perfect
gravity, resumed his exhortation.
Presently he again paused. Sam
Curtis and William Diggle." The
abashed congregation kept their eyes
studiously bent on their books. The
service proceeded in the most orderly
manner, the parson interrupting him
self every now and then to name some
new conner. At last he said, still with
the same perfect gravity: MRS. Sy-
mons, of the Red Lion, in a new bon
net" In a moment he felt his mis-
take, but it was too late. Every femin-
inc head in the congregation had turn

No one can thoroughly understand
the meaning of the word 'monotony"
who has not visited Siberia, and trav-
eled for hour after hour, day after
day, week after week along its dark,
pine girt roads. Along the whole of
the post road from Irkoutsk distances
are marked by wooden posts, painted
black and white, placed at every verst,
while at every post station a large
board indicates the distance from the
chief towns. My heart sank when
ever l looked at these and saw the
word Petersburg, with the appalling
number of naughts under it. The
few versts from station to station were
bad enough, but when it came to the
six thousand odd separating us from
Petersburg one almost gave up all
hope of ever seeing Europe again.

a kind of gloomy satisfaction, every

us nearer. Even the scenery does not
atone for all these drawbacks. The
Siberian forests are not grand, but the

Another one is shown in the fourth Illus
~tration, called recovery from parry" This
attitude on the part Of both fencers is noticed
very often in making u thrust and parrying
the same and also in recovering from a par
ry, as shown in the second illustration. 1t is
quite important In either attacking or de
Tending for one to keep his weapon in DELHI
crate contact with that of his adversary,
and In the case OF the recovery from parry
the one defending himself in the third cut

he would be helpless for making an attack,
but having recovered from same, as shown
in the fourth, he is in a position to thrust inn
mediately, when an opportunity Is offered.
The different movements and executions in
the use Of the folls' are too numerous to mem
ton; In fact all are not named, and only in
diligence in the exercise can show one previ-
ously unacquninted how interminable they
are. The triangular blade movements are
the same as those OF the foil, only the use of
this weapon is confined TO very expert encers.

there is no bend to it. 1t is essentially a
dueling blade, but even used in practice, with
buttons ON the point, one defending himself
from 1t will see the difference from the ordi-
nary foil.
Both foilS and triangular blades have but
tons at the tips for practice, and in contests
for expertness, where the most number OF
stabs count, the buttons are either chalked or
blnckened to suit the case, SO as to show
against the contestants clothes. Masks are
worn to prevent injury to the face and gaunt-
lets for the hands. Also, as in the case Of the
saber exercise, where a cutting or slashing
movement predominates, the sleeve of the
arm used is padded. The exercise with sabers
is more violent and needs more strength than
the foils. The blows are much more sweep
ing, and as the weapons are heavy compared
with the lighter ones spoken Of, muscular
strength is of considerable Importance to a
successful wielder of them. The use of the
sabers does not train the eye so much as the
foils do, and altogether they are not so popu-
lar as the others.
