Bp Majrno Rcld'i stylo and lino of sub* fads on pretty well known, especially to.tho readers of tales of adventure Written, half,a generation or sjutgo. Indians and bears were apt to theme, and the scene 'was usually in the west or southwest, though he ranged the world over in his thrilling stones of hair breadth escapes. He was essentially a writer for boys, and we may frankly admit that, on the whole, he was a (rood writer, as hit iply testified. Many a popularity ami. „. , man, wrapped in tho busy cares of mlddlo-agolife, 'frill recollect tho rainy aflitWMis sinl ilwhsM eiv niiln ■ ■ spilt with Reid’s "Rangers? or "Hunters,” or * f \teysgers." ffot many stopped then to think of his style, or, per- haps, even knew that there was snoh a thing as literary style. Theplotwasthe thing. In his •'Chfid Wife/Oapt. Reid *so departed from his customary lino of characters as to make us fed that we were reading another kind of fiction. • marks of The ear mails of style, nevertheless, are there in . the objectiveness of the story and its radical adventurism, hi this tale, however, it is the society ad venturers of New York and London and the political adventurers or Eng land ana th6 continent in the awk wardly insurrectionary times about .1850 that wo see. He -wrote with rest, like a "Red Republican,” a revolution ist, and wove in a number of histori cal incidents in a quite unhistorical manner. Phases of English and American social life of near forty years ago (and wo must remember that this book was first published in 1868) are shown up severely. What with the fortune hunter on one side and the title huntress on, the other, and their follies, heartlessness and crimes, one feels rather disgusted for getting into such insipid and inherently bad com pany. But the “Child Wife” herself is an angel of innocent purity and first" love devotion. As wo read this story *we are frequently led to wonder just how far it is autobiographical.

Mrs. Reii says, in her preface to this edition, that most of the events related were actual incidents in the life or within the experience of the author. In the story Capt Maynard was born in Ire land in 1818, and ‘ began his literary career when about 80. Ho fought in 'tho Mexican war and wsis wounded while storming Cliftpulioju'c. tmd in 1849 he set out to f.gi.t for the IIuu gari.m revolutionists. All this is true of Mavno Reid. Is it not also true that Mrs. Reid, the widow of the author since 1883,-was tho original of this “Child Wife?"—Washington Public Opinion. S. W. APTE, Prop’r., Boise f OF THE 1 IS THE CRY’OF ALL.

One of his most surprising feats was performed on one of our, party, a Scotchman named McFarlane. Plac ing in McFarlane’s hands three pice- small copper coins equal to ono farth ing in value—he requested the Scotch man to hold them as tightly os possi ble and not to permit them to escape him. McFarlane had a great deal of confidence in himself and very little in jugglers, and would have war gered a round sum that he*could hold three pice for the balonco of the day. But in a few moments tho pice began to swell, and McFarlano declared he could feel them squirming. At last ho dropped them, and behold the coins had changed to young cobra-di- capellos, each about six inches .long, and these disappeared from our sight OS mysteriously as they had appeared. —Charles E.

There will henceforth bo no botraynl of tlio posi tion of a body of troops by a cloud of smoke. It will hardly do, possible either for soldiers to march with tho samo inspiration ns when a rear of guns accompanied their steps, and to some extent they were blinded to tho havoc of death in their ranks. That the powder can explode absolutely without any noiso is hardly possible. The French guard the secret of tho now explosivo and rifle very jealously, hut it must soon bo known to other nations.
