HOW TO GET RICH.

A wicked exchange says that
nothing is more easy than to get
rich 1t is only to mistrust every
body, bcfriend none, get all you can
and save all you get; to stint your
self and everybody belonging to you,
to be the friend of no man and have
no man for your friend; to heap in
terest cent upon cent, to be mean,
miserable and despised for twenty
or thirty years, and riches will come
as sure MS disease. disappointment
and death And when pretty nearly
enough wealth il collected by a dis
regard of all the charities of the
human heart, and at the expense Of
every enjoyment, death will finish
the work-the body is buried, the
heirs dance and fight over hat you
have left, and the spirit will go
where?

HISTORY or IDAHO.

The third sentence in the history
Of Idaho, published by Wallace w.
Elliott 4 Co, of San Francisco,
dates the discovery Of gold in North
ern Idaho in 1862. This is an error
that need not have been committed
so early after the happening of the
event. Orc Elmo was discovered
late il 1859, or early in 1860. We
have not the dates at hand. Flor
ence was discovered late in 1861,
and Warrens and Boise Basin in
1862; both discoveries being made
in the month of July.
John HALEY did not wash the
first pan Of dirt at Florence. Our
recollection is that that distinction
belongs to man named Smith. Ii
has been claimed by Joe Meek, and
some have credited it to the Dab
oon."
The history of the Standifer COM
pany of Indian fighters, is equally
unreliable. The company did not
aim to 90 in body; but after cross
ing Snake river they divided, one
party under Standifer going up the
Malheur, and the other under
! Thatcher and Greenwood, going NJ
the Owyhee. They never afterwards
met, but acted as separate and in
dependent companies, not even try
+ ing to communicate with each other

The Original Three-card Monte Man

The Original Three-card Monte Man.
I have found a man in my rounds
who was well acquainted with
Canada Bill" the original three
card monte man, now dead. THE
three-card monte game" he said,
was first worked by Canada Bill in
1869. Bill was a Canadian, as his
name indicated, and he was as
stupid a looking man as one could
easily find. Bill worked his game
on the trains usually, passing him
self of for a cattleman from Texas
In 1873, after making vast sum
Of money at his trick, Canada Bill
conceived the idea Of organizing all
the men inclined TO be crooked in
the various points about which he
piled his vocation. He called il, as
all men of his calling now do,
'sauaring the head'-that is, fixing
the head officials of town If posi-
BILE, establishing fence, having a
fixed lawyer and ready straw bail
property holders At one time he
had working for him 1000 men ON
the trains and in various towns and
cities.-Kansas City Times.

One Trial Was Enough.

"When the Kansas Pacific was first
opened" said q locomotive engineer,
"the Indians were very hostile and there
was constant fear that they would wreck
the trains That they did not is due to
their ignorance of the iron horse and of
the best methods of destroying it.
"One Of my firemen had an experience
with the Cheyennes that he will never
forget. He was on the road near Fort
Wallace when he saw that the Indians
had cut the telegraph wire and knew
that he might look out for squalls They
were never satisfied with simply cutting
the wire, but chopped it into inch pieces
with their tomahawkS to effectually stop
the mysterious messages. AS the train
came near large patch of sunt1owers
which grew on both sides of the track
over 100 Indians rose up, stretched a
strong rope across the track. braced
themselves, and prepared to receive the
shock of the locomotive. AS was after
ward learned, they had taken rawhide
strips, braided them together, and, with
force of fifty at each end of the rope,
thought that they would be able to stop
the train. The instant the locomotive
struck the rope the air was full of Indi-
ans. They were thrown in all directions.
Some were jerked clear across the train
and more than dozen were killed OF
seriously injured. This was the last at
tempt made for years to stop the trains.
