When the fast mail was put
on no stop was made at Caldwell.
The business and importance OF
the place, however, demanded that
a stop be made, and Caldwell is
now the only town in Idaho that is
not junction station, that the
fast mail recognizes.
The following account of a
freak of nature relates to a child
born to parties living in Wasco
county, Oregon. The information
is contained in a letter from lady
living there to Mrs. J. Glenn, a
waitress employed in J. B. Sisson's
hotel in this place. After mention
ing names and dates the letter states
that "where the child's fingers and
toes ought to have been there were
rattle snakes heads; and there was
small snake grown from the top
of its head and hung down on its
face; the head of the snake was the
child's nose, and whenever the baby
moved the snake on its face would
raise up and run out its tongue and
hiss. The baby only lived five
hours but the snake part lived
about five hours longer. +"

A Misplaced Punctuation Mark,

The absence Of Gen. Beauregard's name
from the list of the prominent men of the
south who took part in tho obsequies OF
Mr.. Davis was the occasion of considerable
comment Mr.. George Cary Eggleston, in
letter in the New York World, says that
the enmity between Mr.. Davis and Gen.
Beauregard arose probably from $50 slight
thing as the misplacing of punctuation
mark in the Transmission OF dispatch by
telegraph"
1t is matter of history that after the re-
tirement Of Beauregard's army from
Corinth to Tupelo, Beauregard, feeling that
he needed rest, announced to Mr.. Davis
that his health was 50 much impaired that
he would have TO go somewhere to recuper-
ate, and Mr.. Davis placed Gea. Bragg in
command. Beauregard did not expect to
be absent long, and intended to return the
instant his presence with the army was
needed. He. therefore, resented the action
of Mr.. Davis in appointing Bragg as an
affront.
Mr.. Davis explained his act by stating
that Gen. Bsauregard was about to leave
his command, on u surgeons certificate, for
four months. without asking leave OF alb
sence. In biography of Beauregard,
written under the latter's supervision, Mr..
Davis is charged. by implication, with not
having proper regard for the truth. Mr..
Eggleston points out that Mr.. Davis expla-
nation was in all probability exactly in
accordance with the facts as he understood
them. He acted on dispatch sent to mis-
adjutant general announcing Beauregard's
intention to take short rest. AS given by
Beauregard's biographer, the dispatch was,
in part as follows: II am leaving for awhile
on surgeons certificate For four months
| have delayed" etc. AS received by Mr.
Davis, the dispatch, Mr. Eggleston thinks,
probably read in this way: Il am leaving
for awhile on surgeons certificate for four
months. have delayed" etc.
If there was such q mistake as Mr.
Eggleston points out, and it was the cause
of much Of the bitter feeling that existed
between Mr.. Davis aud Gen. Beauregard, il
seems strange that no effort was made tc
| correct 1t long ago.
