The plan that secured Webster, Clay, and such “men, is ee enough forall time. <p => Tuer Usva Fare or Dyscovmnen. "Phe ‘Enterprise BAYS : Plains in 1852, Tommy Dod was gobbled up by the Goshoot Indians, and for some months remained a. captive among them, He says among other plunder obtained by’ the Indians. whei -they took his train, was a hand-organ. which an adventurous Italian was bringing out to.CaliforniaThey piled bacon around the old Italian: and fried him in it, but his organ they carried away with them, as thé sounds it gave out when the crank was turned delighted . their murdering hearts. For it is true, as Congrave says in the opening lives to his tragedy of the ‘““Mourning Brick,’’ that— Musichath charms te soothe the savage breast, To soften rocks, er bend aknotted oak. The organ was a big thing among the Indians after they reached their village. The chief had a man to sit in front of his hut and grind it every night, It was setto play ‘Yankee Boodle,” and ‘Yankee Doodle” it played every night, week in and week out, without any “‘variation.’’ One “night in fooling with the ‘‘machine”’ _ the Indian grinder shifted the stop, _ aad when he resumed the crank out gaine ‘Pop Goes the Weasel."" The oid chief listened a moment, and supposing the machine was spoiled, _ seized his tomahawk, leaped trom the door of his hut, and with « fierce _ yell, braimed the discoverer “ the new — the. eon .

The Rev. Stebbins and his apolo. gists, if he has such, would no doubt } defend himself on the ground of candor, and that he only said what -he thought. .This is the plea of every scandal monger in the country. The most insulting language is concluded by, “Well, you musn’t think hard of it. Lalways say what I think.’’— . Were wrong or had been imposed up. . cin, Mills, chemicals and even dreams . . failed to make mining there a -success. Science, mechanics and the} black art had each failed in its turn . to turn the rock into gold. So the city went down and it is now deserted. A few days ago afriend of ours visited Meadow Lake city. He ! went up on snow shoes and took a look at the deserted and snow covered . “that we have no feelings whatever in the matter, and only made the item criticised after hearjug complaints from-a half cozen responsible men who are taxpayers ou the ridge. We are satisfied that-there was ground for complaint as to the management of the roads, or there has been wonderfulimprovement since last season. In the extract above quoted the writer attempts to be facetious, but the law gives the contractor full control of the roads. The facts given us ure these: There Out upon such nonsense. No one has a right to think evil or unpleasant things, and if they do so they have no right to express such thoughts. Even just citicisms should only be made on proper occasions, and the most éarnest advocate of the right of criticism will not pretend to say that the dinner table is a proper place. Certainly no one who favors fair play in argument will justify this speech of Stebbens, at a time and place where, by the rules of propriety, both of the gentlemen assailed. place. The houses which were only one story in hight were covered to their roofs with. snow. The two story houses were surrounded with snow to the hight of the second story. Nota living being was seen by our friend. He was monarch of that snowy desolation. Signs swing in the cold wind, and just grazed in their swinging the surface of the snow. Prominent among the signs opposite the old Hall of the Board of is a-rough, rocky point in the road just below San Juan, which it was proposed to gravel. The citizens raised $30 to doit, and Dr. Harris, who has occasion to travel continually over the road, offered to do the’ work for $25, but the contractor refused to allow him to do it and jdetmanded a higher price. This' we have from what ‘we consider good} authority. When complaints are so universal there must be some ground for them, and it. Imay be that the: . Judgment of-> our cortespotiiient is .

His eye is literally on the eutire line continually, and the immense single track, is quite equivalent, so far as” safety is concerned, to the double track roads.

For it is true, as Congrave says in the opening lives to his tragedy of the ‘““Mourning Brick,’’ that— Musichath charms te soothe the savage breast, To soften rocks, er bend aknotted oak. The organ was a big thing among the Indians after they reached their village. The chief had a man to sit in front of his hut and grind it every night, It was setto play ‘Yankee Boodle,” and ‘Yankee Doodle” it played every night, week in and week out, without any “‘variation.’’ One “night in fooling with the ‘‘machine”’ _ the Indian grinder shifted the stop, _ aad when he resumed the crank out gaine ‘Pop Goes the Weasel.""

We are satisfied that-there was ground for complaint as to the management of the roads, or there has been wonderfulimprovement since last season.

No one has a right to think evil or unpleasant things, and if they do so they have no right to express such thoughts. Even just citicisms should only be made on proper occasions, and the most éarnest advocate of the right of criticism will not pretend to say that the dinner table is a proper place. Certainly no one who favors fair play in argument will justify this speech of Stebbens, at a time and place where, by the rules of propriety, both of the gentlemen assailed. place.
