NEW TOWN.

There is not much travelling done
here, owing to the condition Of the
roads.
The blue-bird has been here for
some time, on visit from the south.
The White Caps what are they
We are led to believe that some of
their proceedings are only imagined
by the superstitious and the curious,
as the following, which was told for
a fact, by one Of our citizens at a
party, few evenings since, will illus
trate: Said he, 'as / was coming
home from the pine hills one night
last week, | was attacked by the
White Caps, between Berkeley Sta
ton and Bedington. They rushed
out into the road at me, and one of
them said: You are the very fellow
we are looking for / was fixed for
them, and 80 | knocked that fellow
down with club, and while he was
falling, with the other hand ] cut
him across the waist with my knife
and left him lay in the road. The
others (about half dozen, ran off
as fast as they could CO." From the
manner in which he told the story,
he conveyed the idea that the White
Cap was killed but no one found
his body or his grave, and we are led
to believe that many things that we
hear and read in the papers respect
ing the White Caps, are as fanciful
and ridiculous as the above.
According to the century almanac,
we are to have snow after the goth
of this month. The year will be cool
and pleasant, with plenty of cereals
and vegetables, with few grasshop-
pers, snakes, toads, and lice and
worms in grain. Persons born this
year will be beautiful, good-natured
and happy.

Gle who would go heavenward, or
go Christward, cannot go with the
crowd for the crowd is not going
in that direction. And this is one of
the sorest trials of the Christian life.
1t separates the Christian disciple
from many companionship which
would otherwise be delightful to him.
But the choice must be made be-
tween conformity to the world and

THE LAST OF OLD BLlCKY.

The following from the Omaha
Herald will be read with satisfac-
ton by these of our readers who
have occasion to remember few
of the tyranical acts of R. Blick-
ensderfer, while superintendent of
the q. P. Idaho division:
Disappointment R. Dickens
derfer, of the Nebraska division of
the Union Pacific, before his resig-
nation was accepted" made few
startling changes in his depart
ment. He Topped off official heads
at his own sweet will and soon
made himself what is termed a
rep" His first general sweep was
among the conductors. and about a
dozen of the oldest men on the road
were preemptorily fired without any
explanation. R. W. Baxter, who
for a long time held the position of
train dispatcher, was another vic
tim, and John McClintock, local
agent, for a time suffered from the
effects of "Blicky's" mailed hand.
But they are gradually coming
back, and will work on the road,
while old man Blickensderfer
prunes his grape vines in Missouri.

Sad Fate of One Idaho Enterprise.

Alas! | am reminded of the fate
of Smith, the great Idaho soap

slough, on Cottonwood creek, Gem
of the Mountain Avon, Boise City
ring, streaked and striped, the best
ever made, rubbing clothes dis
pensed with, the virtues duly at
tested by analysis of unexception-
able chemists. Did our merchants
patronize poor Smith? No! He
had hardly got started before an
opposition appeared. Cy Jacobs
went into the business and was fol-
lowed by Warden Haley, of the
penitentiary, and poor Smith was
leftss after being encouraged by the
Board of Trade. The merchants
would have nothing to do with the
home production, and objections
were made to the soap. One lady
complained and said she under
stood that the soap was made out
of dead hogs grease and she did
not want any dead thing around
her house. After that, Smith sought
new fields. He tried Caldwell and
the railroad ran him out of there.
Then grim despair drove him to
Nampa, and when the writer last saw
him he was trying to make the vir-
tues of sagebrush mix with his
toilet soap for the restoration of ca
pillary substance on the bald heads
of the cause of his misfortunes.
Poor Smith! You are not the first
one who missed his calling in
Idaho.

down the shaft, a distance of one
hundred and fifty feet. Hewas 60
ing down the shaft on a bucket,
and when down about two hundred
feet the rope, while unwinding,
came to a place where it was frozen
tight to the drum.
The drum made about one and
one-half revolutions before the rope
broke loose, and when it did the
bucket suddenly dropped some
thing like twenty-five feet.
Boone was thrown off and he
made a terrible fall. The babk of
his head was mashed, and his neck
was broken. His death must have
been instant.

Mrs. Blatchley, Miss Ada Miner,

on Reynolds Creek at the more
than hospitable ranch of Fred
Brumzell. The reputation of Mr..
Brumzell and his estimable lady
as royal entertainers, and for full,
free, open-handed, generous hospit-
atty, is so well known throughout
this section, that it is a waste of
words to say that the cup of joy
was full to overlooking to the Wis
itors. The pleasure of the trip was
unmarried until on reaching the
Snake on the return home, it was
found full of floating ice, and cross
ing impossible. They then took
delightful morning drives along the
river from one boat to another,
making New Year calls, until Jim
Bernard, who realized that the
provisions on the other side of
Snake were disappearing and
famine threatened, took them
across the river at the risk of his
boat, out of purely philanthropic
motives, it being Reynolds Creeks
only salvation. But for pressing
business the party would cheerfully
have stayed there until spring.
