Joa-ui)i Miller iu tha Ctiutinent.
Colonel Crra, aa old pioneer, who had
married on Indian woman and raised a fam
ily here, proiosed to set out for tho new
mine. The old man had long since, through
the Indians, heard of gold in this black moun.
tain, and he was ready to believe this rumor
iii all ite extravagance. lie was rich in
horses, a good man a great-brained man, in
fact who alwaj-s bad his pockets full of
panel's, reminding 0110 of Kit Carson in this
respect; and, indeed, it was his constant
thirst for news and drew him toward the "ex
pressman," and made him his friend.
I gladly aecepted his offer of a fresh horse,
and the privilege of making one of his party.
For reasons sufficient; to the old mountaineer,
we set out tit night, and climbed and crossed
Craig's mountain, ppai-scly set with pines and
covered with rich brown grass, by moonlight.
As wo approaclicd the edge of Camas
prairie, then a land almost unknown, but now
made famous b3' the lxittle-fields of Chief Jo
seph, wo could soo through the open pines a
faint far light on the great black and v.iiite
mountain 'beyond tho valley. 'IdahhoP
shouted our iiidian guide, in the lead, n.s he
looked back and pointed to the break of dawn
on the mountain before us. "That shall lie
the name of the new mines," said Col. Craig
quietly, as ho rode by his side.
The exclamation, its significance, the occa
sion and all conspired to excite deep pleasure,
for I had already written something on this
name atul its poetical import, and made a
sort of glossary embracing eleven dialects.
Looking over this little glossary now, I
note that the root of the exclamation is dah!
The Shasta wordisPou-dah-ho! The Klamath
is Num-dah-ho! The Modoc is Lo-dahl and
so on. Strangely like "Look there!" or "LoT
is this exclamation, and with precisely that
meaning.
I do not know whether this Indian guide
was Nez Perce, Shoshone", Cnyusc, or from
one of the many other tribes that had met
and melted into this half civilized people first
named. Neither can I say certainly at this
remote day whether ho applied the word
"Llahbo" to the mountain as a permanent
and established name, or used the word to
point the upproach of dawn. But I do know
that this mountain than had become famous
in a night, and was now the objective point
of 10, 000 pilgrims, became at once known to
the world as Idahho.

A vegetarian reports to The British Medical
Journal the result of his year's experience
without meat. At first ho found the vegeta
bles insipid and had to use sauces and pickles
to get them down. As soon as he became ac
customed to the diet all condiments were put
aside except a little salt. The desire for
tobacco and alcohol left him spontaneously.
Then all his digestive f unctious became regu
lar, and he found himself wholly free from
headaches and bilious attacks. After three
months a troublesome rheumatism left him.
and at th end of a year lie had gained eight
pounds in weight. He believes he can do
more mental labor than before and that all
his senses are more acute. For breakfast he
has brown bread, aonles and coffet?: dinner
consists of two vegetables, brown bread anil
pie or pudding; for tea L. rejoices in bread
and iam. with milk and water, and for sup-
jer bread, jam, c ld pudding, and, as a luxury,
boiled onions. Eccrs. milk, butter and chfee
are used only iu very small quantities. The
dietist is a good doctor, end his statement is
drawing out many bimilar ones from medical
men.

The big fish of Lake Tahoe again mndo "his
appearance day before yesterday. Ho sud
denly rose in front of tho. steamer Stanford
and disputed her passage. Tliere was quita a
rough tustle for about ten minutes, when the
fish leaped upward and snapping off the bow
sprit, went away with it in his mouth. As
the fish is making so much trouble the owners
of steamers will send below fcr a harpoon to
kill it. Heretofore this fish has only been seen
two or three times in the past twenty-five
rears. In 18ttS he attacked a large boat and
arowned fourCanadians, since which time he
has not boon seen till this year.

Tlie Country Club.
Boston Letter.
Within a few months Boston has awakened
to the fact that some general rendezvous was
rwjhij'ed, some place where people could soo
each other in a free, easy, unconstrained, aud
unconventional way, a thing not easy always
to do in cities of medium size. So measures
were t;et on foot, and the institution known
as "Tho Country Club" foimed. Some hun
dreds of the more prominent gentlemen su
MTibod, a beautiful estate, once the country
seat of some local magnate, was purchased
and the results have proved most satisfactory
in every particular. Tho club is situated
tome seven miles from town. The drive to it
takes one over the "mill-dam," so called, and
through parts of tho pretty town of Brook-
line, so there is nothing lost in getting thevo,
as all is attractive, and the roads good from
the start. On arriving, ono notices that tho
gateway is as unassuming and unpre
ii.nt.lniK ft a tho entrance to anv tretr
tlaman's country seat. The approach to the
hoTise is a slight incline, and winds some
what, and after a five muiutes' drive brings
you to the door of the mansion itself a solid,
square, and old-fashioned edifice, which lattor
attribute the committee of arrangements ha vo
lieen at some pains to retain. 1 he rooms open
into each other prettily, and aro charmingly
fitted up, according to the prevailing stylo,
with hurh wood-carved fire places, soft-colored
draperies, stained-glass windows, etc. The
parlors on the right are rooms intended for
the use of tho lady visitors, and this is one
charming and, to some of us, an indispensable
feature of the club. Ladies are at liberty to
come and go as they please, or course witn
suitable escorts, on every day of the week
save Sunday.
The rooms on tne iert 01 the entrance-nail
are like ordinary club-rooms, and are ex
clusively for tho use of members. At the
back, opening on a pretty, closely-chipped
lawn, is tho dining-room, a finely shaped
apartment, while up-stairs are bedrooms,
which may be hired by the members if
required. This elub-houso is a perfect
exchange. People drive out constantly.
Any bright day at 5 o'clock or there
about one can find a half-dozen acquaintances
chatting, drinking their afternoon tea, and
generally amused and amusing. Dining clubs
are formed (for the house is opened during
tho winter as well as iu summer-time) and t
dozen or more ladies and gentlemen agree to
dine together every fortnight perhaps through
the season. At a recent dinner tlie writer
was much struck by the nice appointments of
everything. The round table, the lovely flow
ers, jerfeetly arranged, lights and admirably
ehoseu chet made up a most attractive whole.
Out of doors everytning is even more pwrts-
mg. a raee-courso at some little distance
from the house is used for flat-races, but the
more exciting sport lies iu the hurdle-racing.
Gentlemen jockeys ride exc lusively, and en
ter their own horses. Now that tho fine
wenther is here in all its glory, fun at
"The Country Club," is fast and furious.
Saturday is the preferred day, but ou tha
"off " afternoons tennis tournaments, pigeon-
shoots, etc., are of almost daily occurrence.
A Pair of Army Shoes.
St. Nicholas.
There was another poor fellow, a very small
man, who had received a very large pair of
shoes, and had not j et been able to elFect any
exchange. One day the sergeant was drilling
the company on tho facings right face, left
face, right-about face and, of course,
watched his men's feet closely to see tliat they
went through tiie movements promptly. No
ticing one pair of feet down th3 line that
never budged at the command, the sergeant
rushed up to the possessor of them, with
drawn sword,' ami in menacing tones de-
nian- led :
"What do vou mean by not facinjr ebout
when I tell you J 1 11 have vou put in the
guard-house.
"n ny, 1 aia, sergeant:" saul tho trembling
recruit.
"You did not, sir! Didn't I watch vour
foet ? They never moved an inch."
'Why, you see, said the poor fellow, "mv
shoes are so big that they don't turn when I
do. I go through the motions on tho iusido
of thum."
Charles A. Daaa for Pre.-sXiiciit.
Albany Times.
Several of our esteemed contemporaries are
opening the dull season in politics by sug
gesting the name of Charles A Dana as Dem
ocratic candidate for president One or two
go so far as to intimate that . Mr. Dana is
earnestly seeking the noiiunation; but to
those who know him notliing can be more
absurd, and all attempts to s juare the utter
ances of The Sun by such a theory are simply
and wholly ridiculous. We have no doubt
Mr. Dana would malie an excellent president.
much better than some we have tiad, and
very likelv better than the one who will next
assume tho chair, no matter what his name.
isut to be president 01 the united States and
editor of The Sun at the same time is too
much to exjiect of one man; and in order to
necome the one .Sir. Uana must cease to be
the other. This would be asking too great a
sacrrtiee, both of Mr. Dana himself and of the
countless ivaders of th? paper over which he
presides. Almost any good square man of
ordinary intelligence, me.iiiun education, and
faijr physical health wiil do for piesidout of
the United States; but there i3 not one man
in a million who could edit, as Mr. Danadoe?,
The Sun.
Conklins's Itetort.
Speaking of ex-Senator Conkling's quick
ness of mind during a debate, John F. Smyth
saiil recently: "Mr. Conkling was equally
swift cf mind in repl3-ing to those who were
rash enough to question him iu political meet
ings. I remember that when he was a young
man he was once interrupted during a speech
at TJtica by a fellow who bawled out: -Ho
yon want mo to marry a black wench Conk
ling pretended not to hear tho remark dis
tinctly, and said with great iK'itcne;v; of man
ner: 'Will the gentleman who asked me a
question have tlie kindue-s to come forward
and repeat itT The Republicans who were
present cried out: 'Turn him out, turn him
out.' 'Oh, no, don't turn him out; Tin sure the
gentleman asked some question which de
serves a reply; let liiin come forward.' said
Mr. Conkling. So they pushed the fellow
forward to 4.he mid. le of the hall, where he
puffed out his chest and said defiantly: 'Do
you want me to marry a black woman?"
Conkling looked the man over carefully for
about three minutes. It was so silent that
you could have heard a pin drop. Then ho
said with a drawl: 'Do I want you to marry
a black woman? No, I can't say that I do I
have . too mucb compassion for tho black
woman."

As Told by the Hero.
Macon Telegraph.
The following is an extract from a letter
written from Texas by a young man formerly
of Macon to a friend here: "The other night
I went into a salooa where there were eight
cowboys who had just got in from a long
i rive. They crowded around me ahd asked
me to set 'em up. Just out of politeness I
3et 'cm up. "When they got through they
asked me to set 'em up again, and I refused.
They crowded around mo, evidently taking
me for a sucker, and swore they'd eat me up.
I stood my ground.and told them if they would
let the bar-ke':per hold trr-ir pistols I'd try
'em a few rounds. Then they took out their
weapons and ga-e them to the bar-keeper,
and in t n minutes I had whipped all eight of
them. They saw that I wasn't to be fooled
with and we shook hands. Every time I
meet a cowboy now he takes oil his hat
to me." .
Xovel I'I re Alarm.
London Times. ;
SaTocation while asleep is a great clanger
to be guarded against. Smoke rapidly causes
the temperature to rise. A wire fixed in a
thermometer at, say SO deg. Fahr., in con
nection with a small electric battery and bell,
will cause the latter to ring violently on the
mercury ".jeing driven up by the rise of the
tempera e,touching the wire, and thus com
pleting eiic circuit. Such a contrivance, sim
ple and inexpensive, if placed in a hotel,
would civo the necessary alarm; while if the
bell were fixed outside warehouses, etc., left
unprotected at night, hefore the fire therein
could possibly attain any serious proportions.
tho ringing of the bell would attract the no
tice of iwissers-bv, but especially the police,
whose co-operation in the matter of the pro
tection of lite and property from fire cannot
be too highly appreciated.
