THERE is a good deal of unrest in
Europe, as is manifest in the following
despatch to the daily papers day or
two ago:
Emperor Williams bellicose speech
at Dusseldorf has led to sharp diplO-
matte iuterchauges between Russia and
Germany, and the tension OF the
RussO-Germanic situation is in no way
relaxed.
Abundant evidence exists in Incl
dents-as the obstinate refusal of
Queen Natalie to leave Belgrade, and
the equipment of war-ships in the
Euxine--to show that Russian intrigue
is as active as ever in the Balkans; but
the Russian preparations for war are
likely to be promptly nipped in the
bud by the withdrawal of the Roths-
childs from the new loan operations,
and it looks as if, through the wantOn
persecution of her much despised
Hebrews, Russia was destined to see
the downfall of all of her ambitious
projects.

EIGHT or ten years ago more than
half the voters in Delaware petitioned
the Legislature for a strong law in the
interest of good morals and the unfor-
tunates who suffer from the drink
habit, of local option or prohibitory
order, but were denied their request.
Last week with but little effort in the
way of petition, local option bill pas
sed the House by vote of IA to 4.
The Senate, which has been a grave
yard to all temperance legislation here
tofOre, may be so this time, but it shows
that our public men havn't the same
mental dread on the subject they
used to.

Rose, Who Had Been Adopted
by i5rs. John O'FarreII
Boise City Democrat.

A history of the Indian girl, "Rose,"
who died at the residence of John |
O'Farrell on the 18th inst, aged
thirty-two years, may not prove un-
interesting. In 1867, Rose, then a
child OF seven years, was given to
Mrs. O'Farrell by Col. Jas. B. Sin
clair, commanding officer Of Fort
Boise. She was raised and educated
by Mrs. O'Farrell and became an in
telligent and industrious woman. She
was the daughter of the we'll known
orator and brother of old Chief WIN
nemucca, who i'll the early sixties
generated the massacre of the hun
dred Chlnamea between Winnemuc-
ca, Nevada, and Silver City, Idaho
The same year he attacked the stage
at Reynolds creek, and murdered the
driver, Billy Younger, VIM. Uhlman,
merchant of Idaho City, Mr.. Jarvis,
of Boise valley, French Joe and 9TH
er passengers. The U. S. troops from
Fort Boise, under Col. Sinclair and
Col. Coppinger, of Camp Three Forks,
in Owyhee comfy, followed the Indi-
ans to the Malheur Basin, in Eastern
Oregon, where desperate battle was
| fought. Thirteen soldiers were killed
and many wounded. More than two
hundred Indians were also killed or
captured. Ninety odd women and
children of the Indians captured were
brought to Fort Boise and subse-
quently distributed by Col. Sinclair
to any of the white settlers who want
ed them. Rose was the last one of
those prisoners. She had lived with
the family of Mr.. O'Farrell for TWEEN
ty-four years. They gave her decent
aud Christian burial. In 1868, when
Gen. Sherman and Gen. Schofeld
NOW General of the Z. S. army Wis
tied Boise, Col. Sinclair presented the
fve-year-old brother of Rose to An
drew johnson, President of the Uni
ted States. The boy was called can
dy Johnson" and the President put
him INTO an educational institution at
Baltimore, where under the fostering
care of civilization he died at the age
of thirteen. The foregoing incidents
connected with the history of the poor
Indian girl were furnished by Mr.
John O'Farrsll.

THE SILVER BILL.

The free coinage bill that has passed
the United States Senate and is now
in the hands of the House committee
on coinage, weights and measures,
reads as follows:
"That from and after the date of
passage of this act the unit of value
in the United States shall be the dol
lar, and the same may be coined of
4l24 grains of standard silver or 25.S
grains standard gold, and said coins
shall be legal tender for all debts,
public and private; that hereafter
any owner of silver or gold bullion
may deposit the same at any mint of
the United States, to be coined into
standard dollars or bars for his bene-
fit, and without charge, but it shall
be lawful to refuse any deposit of less
value than one hundred dollars, or any
bullion so base as to be unsuitable
for the operations of the mint.
"Sec. 2.-The provision of section
2 of IAN act to authorize the coinage
of the standard silver dollar and to
restore its legal tender character,
which became a law February rs,
1873, is hereby made applicable to
the coinage in this act provided for
"Sec. 3.-That the certificates pro-
vided for in the fifth section of this
act shall be of denomination not less
than one nor more than 500, and
such certificates shall be redeemable
in coin cf standard value. Sufficient
sum to carry out the provisions of
this act is hereby appropriated out of
any money in the treasury not other
wise appropriated. So much of the
act of July IA, 1890, entitled 'an act
ditecting the purchase of silver bullion
and the issue of treasury notes, and
for other purposes as require the
purchase of 100000 ounces of silver
bullion per month be, aud the same
is hereby repealed.
"Sec. 1.-THE certificates provided
for in this act, and all silver and gold
certificates already issued shall be re
ceiva5le for all taxes and dues to the
United States of every description
and shall be legal tender for the pay
ment of all debts, public and private
"Sec. 5.-The owners of bullion de
posted for coinage shall have optioI
to receive coin or its equivalent il
the certificates provided for in thi
act, and such bullion shall be subse
, lquently coined"

EASTERN OREGON LETTER.

CoRNrc, PA, Union Co, J an. Is, '91.
Ed. WoRLD:-I completed the fur
mace at this place the fore part of last
month, and then could get no con-
tract, but worked the ore for DAYS
wages. l expected to make few
thousand dollars out of the company,
for the understanding was that | was
to have full charge of the working of
the ore. A new Superintendent was
put on the first day | started the fur
mace, and he commenced debating
"from the word 60" Finally | got
dlsgusted and told him | was going
to work two or three charges to show
the company that / could accomplish
what | undertook to do The first
two charges worked the Superinten.
dent gave me eighty-four per cent.
l did the anal gamating, as was sup
posed to have charge of the whole
work, and | thought that eighty four
per cent. was pretty good for the first
charge, as the ore is very refractory
containing sulphur, copper, lead and
antimony, and is very hard to handle.
The Superintendent took the pans
away from me, put green hands on
them and the result was they ran
plenty of quicksilver and gold away.
| have been working the furnace un-
der his instructions and they have
saved only seventy per cent, and it
is as good little furnace as was ever
built, and does fine work have get
it so there is no danger of a green
hand mating the ore.
The Superintendent closed down
the mine and mill on the first of the
month, so there is no work at all GO
ing on in the camp now. Most of
the men have left. P. MARLEY.

A BILL was introduced in the House
the other day providing for the pay
ment of bounties for the destruction
of certain animals. The badger was
included IN the list, but had eloquent
defenders there, who stated that Mr..
Badger had been of great value to
the prospector, by digging out good
ore, and had caused the discovery of
many valuable mines in Idaho, and
Mr.. B. was declared to be in favor of
free coinage of silver. The badger
ought to be stricken from the list.
He digs his little hole in the ground,
attends to his own business, and is nc
enemy of mankind, and there is nc
reason for offering bounty for his
scalp. The badger is harmless un-

WE think our capital correspond
ent overestimates the drawback of
toll gates to the prosperity of our
county. A capitalist who will be
kept out of county by few bits
toll he would have to pay would not
be very liable to invest very heavily
in mines, or anything else. Once
convince capitalists that county is
rich in resources, and they will not
be kept out by such small item as
toll. They might just as we'll pay a
few bits to the toll road man as to
pay that amount, or more, for keep
ing those roads in repair. If these
were county roads the tax collector
would have to collect extra "toll''
from the taxpayers to keep them in
repair, and where would the people
be the gamers. or the capitalists who
come and invest in our mines?
