BOISK CITY , Idaho , July 18 , 1881.
Boise City is the sent of governtnont
of this territory , and has a population -
tion of 2,000. It is located on the
north hank of the river of same name
nt an nHitudd of nearly 3,000 feet.
The nearest railway station is Kolton ,
Utah , on the Central Pacific railway ,
which is 250 miles distant. Daily
stages afford communication with the
outside world nnd Kolton. An effort
is hoint ! made also to have daily com
munication established between this
city and Blackfoot , on the Utah nnd
Northern railway , which is 225 miles
distant , but so far very few through
pas'sengers go or como by that rolito.
It proves n convenience , however , to
persons en route from this point to
the. camps on Wood river , and may
become n popular line in anothorycar ,
because it passes through Bolloyuo ,
the entrepot to that promising region.
Stages run from Boise to nearly or
quito nil the mining camps and set
tlements of Idaho nnd eastern Ore
gon.
gon.Boiso is the commercial , as wall as
the political , hub of Idaho , and is n
well-built , well-kept young city. Its
trade extends throughout western Ida
ho and eastern Oregon , and with the
growth of Idaho promises to keep
abreast nnd hold its position. It is
winter headquarters for hundreds of
stock owners nnd , miners , prospectors
and trappers , who spend the remain
ing seasons ill the valleys nnd moun
tains. The city has been the homo of
white men for many years , and h.xs
been beautified by art nnd nature com
bined until it stdnds as thonrettiost of
all the'inter-mountain cities. The
dwellings and business houses nro sub
stantial nnd tasty , nnd the grounds
and shrubbery are simply charming.
I can hardly express the dolight.I ex
perienced after my long ride from
Kelton across dusty lava deserts in a
coach , when the fruit and shade trees
and fresh , garden-like surroundings of
Boise city came into sight. I imagine
the traveler
ON THE AriUCAN DESEUT
is no more pleased when ho espies the
date orchard of an oasis in that dreary ,
sunburnt clime than was the writer nt
the time above named. There are
residences hero which have cost as
much as $15,000 , and business edifices
proportionately expensive. The place
is especially healthful , the citizens ex
ceptionally social , and the business
men are unusually hopeful and pros-
porous.
A more beautiful location for n city
could hardly have boon selected. The
town site overlooks the most produc
tive valley in the territory , which
stretches away westward for fifty miles ;
the Ovvyhu range of mountains is plain
ly seen to the south forty miles dis
tant , and the Boise mountains very
much closer three miles away form
a fitting background to the picture.
Many ranches , farms and orchards nro
in sight , and thousands of acres remain
main and invite the stock , raiser nnd
farmer to appropriate them. I nm
told that ono orchard in this valley
produced 40,000 bushels of apples ,
and pears .last year , and will do nearly
as well the present season. Ono of
the larpo farms in sight from the
United States assay oflice hero yields
20,000 bushels of grain jier * annum * ,
and another.of GOO acres reports a yielil
of 1(5,000 ( bushels.
While I am on this subject I may
say that the records show that all the
grains and voL'ctables of the Atlantic
states north of the cotton line here
find
CONGENIAL SOIL ;
nlso that Idnlio apples , pears , plums ,
peaches , grapes , nectarines , apricots ,
and many smaller truits , compare fa
vorably with those produced in the
older regions. Wheat yields nn average
ago of thirty-five bushels per acre ,
and the visitor is told of > yields in
some instances of 55 , 05 , and oven
110 'bushels per acre' . " Bo 'that as it
may , the surveyor-general's * report
says , " 25 to 40 bushels of wheat and
barldy , aiid 50 to 80 bushels of oats
per dcro is a fair average yield. " Pro
duce brings such high prices here that
if the yield is half what is claimed
farmers ought to got rich. I notice ,
too , that the older farms are in good
order , nnd tlmt their owners seem con
tented , n fact which adds a testimo
nial to the correctness of the state
ment of the worthy surveyor-general ,
The arable portion of the territory
is put down at 12,000,000 acres , and
is confined chioily to the valleys.
Farms extend along the Boise river
tor sixty miles , or a bolt from two to
five miles in width. In the Payotto
valley the arable sections have n total
length of seventy-five miles. Snake
river contains one compact body of
agricultural land forty miles long and of
tun miles wido. Besides these three
princpalvalleys | tho'ro ar ; a dozen
others , all of which are or miqht be at
the homes of f irmors.
' STOCK KAI.SI.Va
is extensively engaged in in this portion of
tion qf Idaho. In a local paper I read
that 200.000 head of alleop are now
being , driven frotji California. ! ! ) this
territory. It dons eeom as if this
country was made for the oxpreas.de
light of stock. I confess to a partial
ity fpc Idaho , but trust it will'not'bias
my judgment , and I deliberately and
unqualifiedly say that no portion ol
the Rooky Mountains seems -to me so
well adapted to rpnch life , and rearing
of stock. The , moderate elevation ,
tlio dry atmosphere summer and
winter ; the nutritious grasses 'which
euro as' they grow , the infrequency ol
BUOW , or other storms , the warm breeze is
from the Pacific Ocean , nnd bul
what need bo added ? Cattle , sheep
and horses require but little prepared
feed and no shelter on any of these
broad , pasture fields covering about
25,000,000 acres. The business is not
neglected. Last year (50,000 ( cattle
were innrkotod from Idaho ranees.
ConsoYvativo men tell mo the common
profit of cattle nnd woolgrowin hero
is 434 per cent per annum on capita1
invested. It is .easy to see what car
bo inadiTat tlio business when the coal the
of raising a fullgrown ; steer worth ?
s no moro than 83 , nnd nn American
Jiorso worth $100 costs bul 5. As
, -ct thcro nro no such largo herds ns in
Montana , Colorado , Kansas , Nebraska
or Wyoming , nnd the raiiRos nro con
sequently not so fully taken up. If
; his fabor-pushor over gets n "good
start" ho will hio himself to Idaho
without delay nnd locate n cntllo or
sheep ranch.
The profits of both fanning nnd
stock growing nro rendered more cer
tain nnd satisfactory because of the
rapid development of the quartz mines
in various parts of the territory.
There wns a time when Idaho poured
nearly $5,000,000 into the cofiors of
commerce in a . single year from her
ulncer diggings. These have for the
nest part been worked out , and now
: ho attention of the mining population
s directed to the ledges of the moitn-
; ains , which are the sources of the
joldon sands of the river-bod * nnd
> ara. The camps where extensive
iporalions nro being carried on nrt )
sandwiched between these fertile vnl-
leys , nnd so oiler n convenient home
narkot for produce of nil kind.
And this is n sort of region which
lias built up the sprightly city of
Boise , located near old Fort Boise ,
Hero we find the answer to our in-
qniry. "Why such substantial struc
Hires out in this scarsely settled ter
ritory ! " Boise will enjoy n further
prosperity in the coining year. It is
3onidontly ( expected that trains will
bo carrying passengers to this town
ever the Oregon branch of the Union
Pacific by July , 1882 , at farthest.
The preliminary survey has boon
made , nnd I believe the line has been
located to Baker city. At all events
actual work is in progress , nnd dirt
is llyin . The Central Pacific railroad
lias run n survey northward from
Winnemucca to the Wood Kivor
region , but people here nro not much
excited ever ever the matter , nnd
really nro indifferent ns to whether
either line comes. They have resided
liero so long on a stage line that they
liavo almost concluded tlmt they pre
fer horso-power , in the ( lesh , to that
applied by steam.
THE WHITE HOUSE CHIL
DREN.
Rocrontioiin of the Garflold Family
Bof'oro the Rolapso.
Correspondence ol the Philadelphia I'rcn.
The splendid weather , so unusual
for Washington at midsummer , and
making it a place delightful tp tarry
in instead of a fetid furnace to run
away from , is favorable to riding par
ties , of which the observed of all ob
servers are those that euiergo from
the White House grounds every fine
evening about G o clock or half-past.
The president's two manly sons nro
both fine riders , nnd each has a spir
ited horse. Harry's is a bay , trained
to the saddle ; Jim's , a beautiful black
trotter. Mpllio , the sister , ia not
much of n rider yet. She has a fine ;
figure for the saddle , but tdoes not
seem to care much for the exorcise.
She has a pretty saddle of her own
but ns yet no horse. Tlio president's
saddle horse , a splendid applo-gray
named Mars is ridden during his ill
ness sometimes by Mr. Judd , the
telegraphic secretary , sometimes
by Dr. Hnwkes , the family
tutor. Private Secretary Brown has
a handsome horse of his own. These
gentleman make up a spirited grouf
in their frequent after-dinner sallies.
Mrs. Gnrfiold drives out almost daily
with ono or another lady friend. Mrs.
Sheldon accompanied her husbanc
hero at this time at Mrs. Garficld's
special request. She will bo her close
companion and will relieve her o :
much fatigue. She was hero during
the first few weeks of the administra
tion , and assisted Mrs. Gariicld in ro
ceiving4. The presidential carriage is
a very handsome hllair now and com
modious. .Ilis carriage hoises , boughi
recently from Congicssman Updcgraff ,
of Ohio , are magnificent bays. Albert
the historic colored driver , who has
hold his position si.ice thq , days ol
Gr.int , sits on the box in livery. 4le
is fond "of enumerating fine horses
President Grant had in his .stables ,
Ho use 1 then to drive1 'four-in-hand.
Since the Garfield boys'andDon Rock
well resumed their studios
at Colonel Rockwell's residence ,
which is some distance
from the central portion the city ,
the president's carriage is sent every
day for Dr. Hnwkes , nnd brings him
homo at 1 o'clock when the day's les nt
sons are over. The boys are now
through with their classical review
and on Monday will take up the
mathematical , embracing arithomotic , it
algebra , through oxuations of the first
degree , and the first two books ol
geometry. This prepares them for
entering ns freshmen at Williams in
September. A certificate of proficienuy
from Dr. Hawkes will bo accepted by
the college authorities in lieu of the
accustomed examination for admission.
The boys are fine dancers , as well as to
versed in out-door athletics. They
are not pre-eminently bookish boys :
they have not been forced in that di
rection , but are bright nnd capable
nuvertheless. All the older children
have the line , physical development On
their father. Mrs. Garfield is small to
and slight. There was a lawn party at
the Soldiers' Homo Thursday evening
( J , give"n by General Mtraoh , ' the
now assistant fluj orintjidyiitof ( ( 'the
Homo , nnd Mrs. Mason , in honor o | on
the biithday of Miss Wilson , daughter
the latter by a former marriage.
There were about Jifty in attendance ,
embi.tcing ( ionoral Stnrgis , miparin-
tondent of the Homo , and all his as
sistant ofiicors , and also the ollicoro
from Fort Myer , lately Fort Whipplo.
This fort is six miles distant. It was
ro-christonod for the late lamontec to
chief of the signal sonico , Genera
Albert Myer. A pretty1 sight that
ono may occasionally witness on a
late evening drive through the
grounds of the Soldiers' Homo ia the
signal practice botwonn officers of tlm
corps and those nt Fort Moyor.
The alphabetic system of torches
an interesting cypher t <
study. Through the courtesy o tlon
the signal ofiicors I had some amateur '
practice in it during a belated drive
the other evening. The darkies who
wave the signal torches in the dark
ness at the command of the officer in
charge have an awed and mysterious
look , and watch the gleaming torches {
that reply from afar , big with their
own importance. In the midst of the
BCOIHI the bugle from hcadquar cn
sounded ' , 'tapa" ( in the
maimooVund haltold aoldiurajj
' ' ' ( '
that' great 'Va'raVaiisafy "turned in' '
or the night. Wo saluted the be *
lignnnt stntuo of old General Scott ,
vhlch overlooked our employment ,
and drove on homeward.
The l.xwn party above referred to
.as very pleasant in these picturesque
.rounds. . There were lawn tennis
. 'ml archery for sports , and refresh *
nonts were served outdoors. When
ho darkness of the perfumed summer
light began to envelop the guests ,
hey withdraw indoors for music nnd
dancinij. The White House young
> eoplo were there llnrry , James nnd
ilollio also Gaillnnl Hunt , son ol
ho secretary of the navy ; Don nnd
, ulu Rockwell , Dr. Hnwkos and Sec-
otaries Brown nnd Judd , of the pres *
dent's house staff. Before the ovo-
ling was over Colonel Rockwell and
Colonel Corbin came out to pay ro-
peels. _

lohn C. Pcmborton of Philadelphia ,
n . the class of 'JJ7 , and who , like him ,
oinod tlio nrmy of the Confederacy ,
but two ever ro 0 to distinguished
nnk in the service of the rebellious
states. Braxton Bratg ; of North
Carolina , when the war began , was
nado brigadier general by the Con-
'odorato i > overnmont nnd placed in
command al Pensacola. In February ,
.802 , ho wns made major general ; and
upon tlio denth of Gen. Johnston nt
, ho battle of Shiloh ho was raised to
, ho full rank of general , succeeding
Jon. Bcaurcgardin thocommnndof the
department of the Mississippi after
, ho evacuation of Corinth , Ho wns
decisively defeated by Gen. Grant at
Chattanooga , November 225 , 1803 ,
and was then relieved from his com
mand and called to Richmond , where
lie acted for a time as military nd-
visor of Jefferson Davis. lie led a
mall force from North Carolina to
operate against Shonnan during his
invasion of Georgia in 1801 , but did
no cil'ectivo work to retard the nd-
vance to the soa. At the conclusion
of the war ho devoted his attention to
engineering , serving as chief en
gineer of several southern railronds.
Ho died nt Galveston , Tex. , Septem
ber 27 , 187G. The other classmate of
Pembcrton , who distinguished him
self in the rebel cause , was Gon. Jubnl
A. Early. Ho was n Virginian , and
commanded a brigade at Bull linn ,
Cedar Mountain nnd Frodcricks-
burg. In May , 18G8 , ho commanded
the division which held the lines at
Fredoricksbtirg while Lee was fight
ing the battle of Chancollorsvillo. In
July , 1804 , ho crossed the Potomac
and threatened Washington for a .timo ,
but was obliged to retreat. In the lat
ter part of this month his cavalry pen
etrated into Pennsylvania nnd burned
DhnmborsDurg. Ho was defeated by
Sheridan on tlio Obequan , ab Fisher's
Hill , nnd at Cedar Crook , nnd in
March , 1805 , lie was utterly routed at
Wayonsborougli by Ouster. Ho was
then dismissed from the command by
Loo. In 1867 ho published his Me
moirs of the Last Year of the War.
Since then ho has divided his
time between his larr prac
tice in Richmond ant
managing the Louisiana Lottery in
conjunction with Gon. Beau regard.
William H. T. .Walker , of Georgia ,
another classmate of Pomberton' ,
espoused the confederate cause , was
killed in a sortie from Atlanta ngainsl
Sherman's troops July 22 , 1804. The
remaining classmates of the defender
of Vicksburg who joined him in the
confederate army were : Win. W.
Mackall , of Maryland , Arthur M.
llutledgo , of Tennessee , who died al
Sawanoo , Tonn. , in 1870 ; Arthur El
zoy , of Maryland , who died in Balti
more , February 21 , 1871 , and lloborl
H. Gliiltwii , of Virginia , who died in
Columbus , Ga. , February 18 , 1870.
Mackall nnd Early are the only two

A Romnrlcnblo Pony.
The Orkney HernUl.
A well .luthonticnted and f xtraordi
imry case of the sagacity of tin
Shetland pony has just comu under
our notice. A yciir or two ago Mr.
Win , Sinclair , pupil teacher , Helm ,
imported one of thcso little animals
from Shetland on which to ride to
and from school , his residence boinf ,
a considerable distance from the
school buildings. Up to that time
the animal had been unshod , bul
some time afterward Mr. Sinclair had
shod by Mr. Pratt , the parish
blacksmith. The other day Mr.
Pratt , whoso smithy is a long distance
from Mr. Sinclair s house , saw the
pony , without halter or anything
upon it , walking up to where ho waf
working. Thinking the animal had
strayed from home , ho drove it oil' ,
throwing stones nfter the beusl
make it run homeward. This
had the desired efl'oct for
short time ; but Mr. Pratt hfu
only got fairly nt work once more ii :
the smithy when the pony's heat
again made its appearance nt the door.
proceeding n second time outside
drive the pony nwny , Mr. Pratt ,
with a blacksinith'H instinct , took n
look at the pouy'u foot , when ho ob
served that one of its shoes had beei :
lost. Having miulo n shoe , ho put il
, and then waited to see what tlio
animal would do. For n moment i
looked nt the blacksmith us if nskiiif
whether ho wn-s done , then pawo (
once or twice to neo if the newly shot
foot was comfortable , and then gave i
pleased neigh , erected his head , nut
started homo ijt n brisk trot. The at
owner was nlrfo exceedingly Hiirpristx
find the animal at homo complete ! ;
shod the same livening , and it wax
only on calling * nt the smithy some
days afterward that ho learned th t
' '
full extent ot'lu's pony's sagacity.
