the proprietors of the Morning Dem

are running a dandy paper and when
we want real, live, spicy news from
Weiser, in the columns of the SIGNAL

We hear the report that some saw
mill men-not the New London
firm were in Weiser u few days ago
and had purchased 1000, 600 feet of
logs of Burk Bros, and would put in
a mill near town and bring the logs
down the river. We know not how
true this is.

He is out here with his eye peeled in

that he would soon ship some goods

freight over the prosposed stage
route from Payette to Indian valley.
The SIGNAL has an mixing of II

we can promise our readers an item
of that kind soon. We made an
assertion of this kind once before but
it failed to materialize and we were
forced to sacrifice our own person to
keep the word of the SIGNAL sacred.
We have now in our employ an able
detective and think there will be no
more errors.
California Dick hit the town Friday
last and as usual hit the printing

the old fellow to set upa few cooking
receipts to appease the gnawing hunger
in his interior and that was about all.
A printer who has struck hard luck
and is out of a job will never be turned
away hungry from this office, but the
sot who spends his last dollar for
whiskey and then begs for grub need
not apply here. We have put up
for Dick several times before.

POpnlar Songs.

AT every London music ball from
twenty to thirty songs, or even more,
will be sung in the course of the even
ing, and of all these perhaps two or
three in year will catch the popular
favor, be played on barrel-organs,
whistled by street boys. adapted for
burlesques and pantomimes, and over
run the entire country in marvellous
ly short time, until it pals upon the
very villagers. Some fifteen years ago,
for example, it was impossible to go
anywhere in the United Kingdom with
out hearing a certain Tommy being
vocally adjured to make room for his
uncle.
1t would be curious to resuscita.e
Tommy and his uncle now and see
how much success they would obtain
with the public of today. The tune
was irresistibly catching; but it would
probably fall on deaf ears now. No
superannuated thing is so utterly dead
and forgotten as once popular music.

gouri was hardy annual. Who com
pose the ephemeral tunes? Their
names seldom or never appear, auy
more than do those of the gentlemen
who write the songs, though it is safe
to conclude from internal evidence in
either case that they are not persons
of exalted musical and literary emil
nence.
And what are the songs like? Do
they show any graphic or satirical
power, any command Of the pathos
and humor which appeal to popular
tastes? One would hesitate 10 answer
in the negative, since these dit;ies are
found acceptable by those whom they
are intended to delight. and yet to
hear or read them is apt u produce
conviction that the music-hall public
is entertained with the same facility as
excited Mr.. Pickwick's envy in the

Key to a Fortune.

ly bachelor, who died few days ago
at his home in PembertOn, n. j., have
discovered 500, 900 in gilt-edged Sc
curities hidden .fely away in the
vaults of Philadelphia trust compa-
ny. Reilly had always lived in a very
unostentatious manner, and his ex-
penses were small No one supposed
he had any money, and he left no will
or anything to show that he was worth
a dollar. The discovery of small
safe key finally gave the clew, and as
he often visited Philadelphia, inquiries
were made among the trust companies,
with the result of the discovery of the
securities. The estate will be divided
among his two brothers and a sister,
who live in Pemberton. - TPhiladel-
