Rebuked.

DR.. Edward Payson, the beloved min
lister of church in Portland in the first
part of our century, was preacher who
could present the truth intrusted to him
with wise skill and tenderness of feel
ing calculated to disarm the most preju-
diced foe.
Even in administering a rebuke he
was ever tactful and gentle, and one in
stance of such care is often related of
him.
"What makes you blush so3" said
reckless fellow in the stage to plain
country girl who was receiving the mail
bag at the postoffice from the hand Of
the driver.
DR.. Payson, who sat near him and had
been until this moment unobserved,
gave the girl no time to answer.
Perhaps" he said gently, sit is be-
cause some one spoke rudely to her when
the stage was along here the last time"

an Excellent Showing.

The board Of directors OF the inssne
asylum closed its laboIs for its two
years term Monday, and the members
returned to their respective homes.
That the hoard has done well for the
institution aud for the state will not
be denied BY anyone. We believe the
members feel consciousness of hav-
ing discharged their duties faithfully
and honestly, and those who are famil-
lar with what they have done will say
they have done well.
OF the appropriation made by the
legislature of 1890 and 81 for current
expenses, they will return into the
state treasury, unexpended, over
81 500 of it, or about 8 per cent of
the whole amount appropriated. This
is an excellent showing. The citizens
of Blackfoot feel an honest pride in
the successful management of this
institution, and will join most heartily
in commencing the board for its good
work.
The News would be glad to have
select committee of the Legislature,
one made up Of its best men, visit the
institution and make a report Of its
findings, not only for the two
branches of the Legislature, but for
the information OF all the citizens OF
the state Let the committee come,
inspect the patients, books, buildings
end farm, and returning give an hon.
est report Of its findings, and justice
will he done the management and the
people will be satisfied.
