History OF Idaho.

The third sentence in the history
of Idaho, published by Wallace w.
Elliott & Co., of San Francisco,
dates the discovery of gold in North
ern Idaho in 1852. This is an error
that need not have been committed
so early after the happening of the
event. Orc Elmo was discovered
late in 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
1852; 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 a man named Smith. 1t
has been claimed by joe Meek. and
some have credited it to the "Bab-
oon."
The history of the Standifer COM
pany of Indian fighters, is equally
unreliable. The company did not
aim to go 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 up
the Owyhee. They never afterwards
met, but acted as separate and in
dependent companies, not even try
ing to communicate with each other.
The history" is generally very
loosely compiled.

ELECTIONS were held in Ohio
cities during the week, and results
were generally unfavorable to the
republicans. Kenton, Upper San
dusky, Bucyrus, Lima, Washing
ton, Sidney, Troy, Newark and Mas
sillon, elected democratic mayors.
At Kenton, Upper Sandusky. Sgd
ney and Lima the democrats carried
everything. At Middleton, Ironton,
Marion and Gallon, all of the city
officers are democrats but the may
ors. Massillon has a democratic
majority in the council, the first in
many years. Cincinnati, Dayton
and Toledo are republican, but the
indications are that full returns will
show great democratic gains taking
the vote of the cities throughout the
State.

REFERENCE to the columns of the

The Caldwell Tribune of this
week publishes a reference to a
story telegraphed to the Anaconda
Standard from Bellevue, that q
scheme was on foot to arrest Judge
Beatty should he attempt to hold
court, his appointment by Harrison
being illegal. There is no more
doubt about the legality of the
Judges appointment in our opinion
than there is about the splenetic
folly of the threat implied in the
dispatch. Judge Beatty convened
his court at Boise City on last Mon
day morning for preliminary bust
ness. On the 18th the trial of cases
will begin and continue until May
Sd. The United States grand jury
will meet May 4th, and Judge Beatty
expects that Judge Sawyer will be
present during a part of the term.

An agreeable surprise was rendered
Rev. Q. G. Goines and wife last Fri
day night. When the party arrived
at the parsonage they found no one al
home but through a little strategy
they gained an entrance 10 the house
when everybody made themselves at
home. After hurried consultation it
was agreed to make grand spread of
all the good things brought by the
party. A table was secured and
while in the act of making the display
of eatables Rev. Goines and wife re-
turned greatly surprised at the num-
Der of guests that had taken charge of
their house. After general welcome
to all they sat down to an elegant re-
past which every body enjoyed.

a New Lighthouse.

Mariners on the Pacific coast are re-
ioicing over the rapid progress OF work
on st. George lighthouse and fog. si.,.
nal station on Seal Rock, about eight
miles from the shore OF Del Norte
County, Cal, near the Oregon line.
This point is one oil extreme danger.
The deep channel between the reef and
mainland is filed with treacherous
rocks, submerged beneath rapid and
powerful currents. In winter the
shores are dashed with huge waves
making the scenery the grandest on
the coast. II was here that the ill.
lated Brother Jonathan went down a
few years ago with its freight OF hu.
man beings and gold aud grcenbacks
The lighthouse was begun ten years
ago, but, owing to the difficulties en-.
countered and the slowness with
which Congress made appropriations.
work did not proceed as fast as il
ought. In cutting of the top OF the
rock for the foundations several lives
were lost, and in the rude winter
storms the fruits OF a summer
hard toll were swept away
several times. The granite
blocks used in the construction
haveto be brought from Mud River,
near Trinidad In their original form
they are huge boulders, which have to
be blasted. These are taken to Triui-
dad, cut to the desired size and form,
and transported by the schooner
Sunol to the lighthouse. She anchors
of the rock in 100 fathoms OF water.
being made fast by four huge cables
on each side. These are anchored to
the rock and to sunken anchors. A
derrick is raised amidship, the granite
blocks hoisted in strong nets to the
top OF the masts, carried to the rock
on line attached to n derrick on the
pier, and placed in position. Each
one is marked, and so carefully has IL
been cut that there is not an eighth
OF an inch between it and it's neigh
bors. Although the tower now is forty
feet above the water, the workmen are
constantly drenched. The fifty-three
men now employed will have the stone
and brick work done by September.
The number will then be reduced to
ten, and they will complete the iron
work, which is being made in Trenton.
n. j. When finished the lighthouse
will be 140 ieet above sea level and
cost $3.50, 000.--New York Evening
Post.

One OF the Schaumburg girls, Rebec-
ca, while in New York recently, be-
came acquainted with, and married
without her fathers knowledge or con-
sent, a miserable looking, spindle
shanked, impecunious little Israelite
named Max Rosenberg. When the
happy couple arrived at Austin, and
Nose Schamburg saw his new son-in-
law, he raved and went on like a Ri
rate, but he had to accept tine situa-
ton. He, however, never lost an OBJ
portunity OF telling Rebecca what a
miserable little cuss her husband real
ly was.
"Fadder," replied Rebecca, fearful

Not Butter.

A bright woman, who makes it q
point to find out in what subject the
person to whom she is introduced is
interested, and to lead the CONVERSE
tion speedily to it, had an amusing
experience, which she relates with
great glee. A dinner was given by an
intimate friend, and she whispered
hurriedly TO her hostess, who had in.

grave man who was to take her in to
dinner. "What does he like TO talk
about best:
"Butter." said the hostess lips,
with a meaning smile.
1t seemed a strange subject, but the
tactful guest brought the converse
ton around to it, and as she after
ward said, talked as ito know good
butter when one saw and tasted ii
was one Of the most important things
in the world"
Her companion did not seem inter.
ested, and the conversation first
dragged and then came to a stop. An
other effort, and then the lady gave
mp the task, and devoted herself to
her neighbor on the other side.
The "butter" man was Obliged to
leave, pleading another engagement,
the moment the dinner was over,
much to the evident regret Of his host
