Rough Times In Idaho.
Lewiateo, buiit of boarJs nnii canvas,
looking sickly and discouraged, stood
shivering ia the wind of October, 18C2,
and wincing under the volleys of pebbles
tb.it struck the sounding houses with such
force yon might have thought an unseen
army was bombarding them. The town
looked as if it had started down from the
mines iu the mountains above, ragged
and discouraged, and, getting to where it
then was-, had sat down in the forks of
the river to wait for the ferry. The town
looked as if it ought to go ou as if it
wanted to go on as if it really would go
co, if the wind kept on blowing and the
nnseea army kept up the cannonade.
On your left, as you look down the
course t tho uoiombia, sixty miles
away, the Snake river came tumbling
down, as if glad to get away from the
clouds of dust, sage-brush, and savages.
On the other hand, the Clear Water
camo on peacefully from the woody re
gion of Pen d'Oreille, - and joined com
pany for the Columbia. Up thisstrcam
b little way stood tho old adobe wintering
quarters of Lewis and Clarke, exploring
here under President Jefferson, in 1803;
and a few rod beyond, the board camp
of the Xez Perce Indians flapped and
fluttered in the wind while the sombre
lock of a Blackfoot warrior streamed from
the war-chiefs tent.
Thee- is something iusufkrally mean iu
I a windy day in the northern territories.
The whole Country is a cloud of alkali
. dut you are half suffocated and wholly
f blinded you shut your eyes and coin
t press your lips you hold your hat with
both hands, lean resolutely against the
i wind, and bravely wait for it to go by.
But it will not go by ; it increases in
fierceness ; it fills your hair and your nos
trils with dust; it discharges volleys of
little pebbles, flints, and quartz into your
face till it smarts and bleeds, and then,
all suddenly, goes down with the setting
sun.
The mines thus far found in the north
caudidate told him he was going to make
a speech, and very patronizingly asked
hiiu to come out and hear him. Old Uab
looked straight at the wall, as if counting
die stripes on the paper, then said, half
to himself: "The fact of Balaam's ass
making a speech has had a more demor
alizing influence than any other event
told in the Holy Bible; for ever since
that time, every lineal descendant seems
determined to follow his example." His
face was never relieved by a smile, and
his chin stuck out fearfully; so that one
day, when Snapping Andy, who was li
censed by the miners to be the champion
growler of the camp, called him "Old
Baboon," it was so complete as a baptis
mal, that he was " known by no other
name.
"The sorrowful know the sorrowful." I
was then a helpless, sensitive, white-
headed boy. and so found refuse and re
lief, in the irony of Old Baboon, and, like
the Captain, "made a note of it.
Some .women visited him one evening;
fallen angels women with the trail of
the serpent all over them women that
at that dav lived their fierce, swift lives
through in a single lustrum, and at the
same time did deeds of mercy that put
their puier sisters to the blush. They
gave him gilts and money, and, above all,
words of encouragement and kinduess.
lie received it all in silence ; but I saw
when tbey had gone that the coldness of
his face had tempered down, like a win
try hillside under a day of sun. lie
moodily filled his meerschaum they had
brought him, and after driving a volume
of smoke through his nose, looked quiet
ly at me, and said : "Society ia wrong.
These women are not bad women. For my
part, I begin to find so much that is evil
in that which the world calls good, and
so much that is good iu what the world
calls evil, that I refuse to draw a line of
distinction where Ood has not." Then
he fired a double-barrelled volley at so
ciety, through his nose, and throwing out
volume after volume of smoke as a sort of
redoubt between himself and the world
he hated, drifted silently into a tropical,
golden land of dreams.
This was the man who now stood be-
had proved of but little account; and the j fore me with gold enough to buy the
miners Were pouring back, as Iroin a
Waterloo. 1 had run a fierce opposition
to Welts, Fargo & Co. ; and as a result,
sat alone in my office, trying to think,
calmly as I could, how many of the best
years of my life it would take to settle the
sts, when the most ragged and wretch
ed looking individual I ever beheld,
looking back stealthily over his shoulder,
entered, and took a seat silently in the
further corner. He had a round, heavy
head, covered with a shaggy coat of hall
gray hair, which an Indian the least ex
pert could have lifted without the trouble
of removing his patched apology for a
hat.He had an enormous chin, that looked
like a deformity. He seemed to sit behind
it and look at me there, as you would sit
behind a redoubt in a rifle pit, watching
an enemy. II is right hand stuck stub
bornly into his pocket, while his left
; clutched the bowl of his pipe, which he
smoked furiously, driving the smoke
fiercely through his nostrils like steam
through twin valves. I think his tattered
duck pants, were stuck in the tops
of his boots; but alter the elapse of near
ly eight years I do not remember dis
tinctly. However, this is not so impor
tant. He louked up at me, pulled busily
at his pipe, then dropped his head and
deliberately fired a double-barrelled vol
ley of smoke at his toes, that looked up
wistfully from the gable-end of his boots.
Then he arose, glanced at the door, and
being sure that we were alone, shuffled
up to the counter, and drew out a purse
from his right pocket, half the length of
xny arm.'
"Ned," cried he, in a harsh, cracked
voice, "don't you know me? That's gold;
and I know where there's bushels of it."
"What! Baboon? beg pardon, Mr.
Bablain." .
"No 1 Baboon ? Old Baboon ; that's
- my name. Old. Baboon."
As this man was the finder of that vast
gold-field, including Salmon, Warren's'
Boise, Owyhee, and Blackfoot, it is but
right that the world should have a brief
of his history, as well as his photograph, i
Peter Bablain, Esq., of Easton, North
,ampton county, Pennsylvania, reached
San Francisco in 1849, as refined and I
intelligent a gentleman as could be found, j
A lew weeks of luckless ventures, . how- j
ever, left him unable to respond to his
landlady's bill- She said fiercely, "You
re bo gentleman." He answered quiet- '
j, "Neither are you, Mrs. Flanagan,"
and quietly left the house. He felt that
-! he had lost or left something behind him.
: He had. The "Esq." had been knocked
from his - name as easily as yoa would
: wish to kick a Bat from the pavement on
the ficst day of April.
Another week of wandering about
the town in dirty linen, and his ac
quaintances treated the tail end of his
Christian name as Alcibiades did the
celebrated dog of Athens. He was now
simply "Pete Bablain," and thus set out
for the mines. A few months of hard
'", usage, and he found the whole front of his
i name ripped off and lost. "Bablain" was
all that was left. i
. , Ten years now passed. Ten terrible
years, in which this brave and resolute
' man had dared mora than Caesar, had
endured more than Ney; and he found
t the entire end of his father's name had
been, somewhere in the Sierras, worn or
- torn sway, and hid or covered op forever
' - in the tailings. He" was now nothing but
s "Bab. -Here, , while ground-sluicing
-.. one night on Big Humbug, and possibly
wondering what other deduction could be
mad and not leave him nameless, he
was caught ia a cave, sluiced out, and
r. carried . head-first through the flume.
This last venture wore him down to about
the condition of ' an old quarter-coin
' when neither date, name, nor nationality
can be deciphered. Hi jaws were crash
" ed,-wjd limb broken, till they lay . in
every direction, like the claws of a sea-
rab-. They took him to the County
Hospital, jd there they called him '01d
Bab." . It was a year before he got about;
and then he came leaning on a staff, with
' ' frightful faee. He had Jost all spirit.
;. He eat moodily about the hospital,' and
! wmetime said bitter things. One day
he said of Grasshopper Jim, who was a
great Ujker : "That mas must necessarily
lie. There ia not truth enough . ia the
United States to keep his tongue going
forever as it does." One evening a young
town
"There are nine of us," he went on,
"all sworn not to tell. Of course, being
sworu, they have all taken the first op
portunity to tell their friends and send
word to their relatives." Therefore,
I will tell you."
This is briefly his account of the dis
covery. When it reached California that
gold had deen found in the great water
shed of the Columbia river, the miners
waited for none of the details as to the
wealth of the mines, their extent, or the
dangers and hardships to be endured.
They poured over the northern mountain-walls
of Nevada-California, dreaming
the dreams of '49. He fretted to go, and
being able to travel, the fallen angels
again fluttered around the friendless man,
and his outfit was as complete as the
camp could afford. Arrived north, the
mines were found a failure, and a party
of prospectors attempted to reach the
Shoshone Falls through the densely tim
bered mountains from Elk City. He
was one of the number. They made but
little headway ; and the party, of forty in
a few wVeks, was reduced to nine. Then
seme became worn-out and discouraged,
and being reduced to half-rations, at
tempted to return by what they thought
a shorter route. After nine days' strug
gle through dec$c undergrowth and fall
en timber, they came out on a little
prairie. - Here they found signs of game,
and being entirely out of provisions, they
determined to turn out their horses on the
grass, and replenish l with their rifles.
Baboon was left to keep camp. Their
blankets were spread by a little spring
stream that hugged a dense growth of
tamarack at the edge ol the prairie. 1 he
prairie lay near the centre of an immense,
snowscrested, horse-shoe opening to the
south, of about thirty miles in diameter.
A farm on the Ohio could have produced
as many "indications" to the California
gold hunter as the site of this camp; but
as the day Wore on, and the hunters de
layed return, and Baboon to. kill time,
took op a pan, stepped to where a fallen
tamarack had thrown up the earth,' filled
it, and carelessly washed it out. .Marsh
al, m the mill race, could not have been
more astonished. Half a handful of gold
rough, rugged little specimens, about
the size of wheat grains, and of very poor
quality, as it afterward proved, being
worth but 511 an ounce uv in the pan ;
and the great gold belt, which embraced
Salmon, Warrens, Boise, Owyhee, and
Blackfoot, was found!
I said. "Thank you. Mr. Bablain. He
looked at me with blended pride and pain,
and deliberately firing a double-barrelled
volley of smoke at my breast, told me to
make the best use of the discovery, gave
me a written direction of the course and
locality, and went out. In less than a
week I was in the new mines, " with a
cargo that sold for a dollar a pound before
it was unpacked. This was I -da-hoe:
the Indian name for this vast basin, or
horse-shoe, with its snowy crest, which,
interpreted, meanB, "(Jem of the Moun
tains." ;
Baboon Gulch a little indention of
not more than a hundred yards in Ien"th,
dipping down the prairie to a larger
gulch was perhaps the richest spot of
earth ever found The gold lay bepeath
a thin turf, or peat, on a soft granite bed
rock in a stratum of .but one er two inches
thick, and but a few inches wide. This
stratum was often half gold. The oath
of Baboon could be had to-day, showing
that the lightest day's yield was fourteen
pounds of gold dust. -f " '-
L Having been the butt ol tho party,
and having but little love or respect for
his companions, when he ' left mo - at
Lewiston he went into tb; street, nd,
depending entirely on bis interpretation
of faces, made up a party of his own all
poor men and before sunrise was on his
return. I found,' when I ' entered - the
ea nop, that he had one evening laid off a
town and gi ven it the name of t be writer ;
but the next moraine, those i who had
not procured lots, not feeling disposed to
nav from f 1.000 to 5,000 when - there
was so much vacant ground adjoining,
went a few hundred yards further on, and
there, under the direction of Dr. Fuber,
formerly of Cincinnati, and author of
"Twelve Months a Volunteer laid off a
town and named it Florence, after the
Doctor's oldest daughter. The town laid
out by my friend never received the dis
tinction of a single buildinar. However,
with a singular tenacity, it retained its
place in the maps of Idaho, and there, at
least, is as large and flourishing as its
rival. .
On the 3d day of December, in tho
fierce storm we read the prophecy of the
fearful winter of 1862 3. Thousands of
homeless and helpless men began to pour
out over the horseshoe in the direction of
Lewiston. Qoing into camp -one night
with the express, I met Baboon and his
party quietly making their way over the
mountain. Each man had a horse laden
with gold.1 Promising to return and over
take them, I rode on, and soon met a party
headed by the notorious Dave English
and Nelse Scott. They were well-kuown
robbers, and down on the books of the
Expressmen as the worst of men ; but, as
there was not a shadow of civil law, and
Vigilantes had not yet asserted them
selves, these men moved about as freely
as the best in camp. Only a few days
before had occurred an incident which
gave rise to a new and still popular name
for their Order. Scott and English had
reached a station on the road with their
horses "badly jaded. They were unknown
to the keeper of the station, who had the
express horses in charge ; and not wish
ing to do violence to get a change of
horses, resorted to strategy. They talked
loudly to each other concerning the mer
its of their stock, and quietly telling the
keeper they were connected with the ex
press, and were stocking the road act
ing as road agents ordered him to sad
dle the two best horses at the station, and
take the best possible care of theirs till
their return. He did so, and when 1 the
Express arrived that night for its relays,
the innocent keeper told the rider the
"road agents had taken them.
English was a thick -set, powerful man,
with black beard and commanding man
nor. One ol his gray eyes appeared to
be askew, but other than that, he was a
fine looking man. He was usually good-
natured ; but when roused, was terrible
Scott was tall, slim, brown-haired, and
had a face fine and delicate as a woman's.
Both men, as well as their four followers
one of whotu' was once known to circus
goers of California as Billy Peoples
were young. 1
Knowiug their object, I asked them if
Old Baboon had left camp.
They answered, "Yes, they thought he
had." They then halted, and I rode by
uninterruptedly. I reached camp, got a
fresh horse, and before dawn overtook
Baboou and party. Six days, or rather
nights, of travel, and we reached -Lewis-ton,
.now a sea pf canvass. The next day
English and arty also entered. The
river was full of ice, and the steamers
tied up for the! winter. Even the terry i
was impassable1 for thirteen days. It was
a little over a hundred miles to Walla
Walla, and the snow deep and still fall
ing. We hadj hardly got over the ferry, 1
when English jand party followed. lAut
as we had ,beeti joined by three resolute
men, we were now nine, while they were
but six, we kept on. Wc knew their
business, and when they passed us soon,
chatting gayly, they must have felt, f rom
our compact manner of travel and silence,
that they were understood. I observed
that tbey were splendidly mounted and
armed.
It was twenty .four miles toPetalia, the
nearest station. The days were short,
and the snow deep. With the bust of
fortune we did not expect to make it till
night. At noon we left the Alpowa, und
rode to a vast paltcau without stone,
stake, or sign to point the way to
Petalia, twelve miles distant. Here the
snow was deeper, more difficult ; besides,
a furious wind had set in, which blinded
and discouraged our horses. It was in
tensely cold. We had not been an hour
on this high plain before each man's face
was a mass of ice, and our horses white
with frost. The sun, which all day had
been but dim, now faded in the storm like
a star of morning drowned in a flood of
dawn, and -1 began to experience grave
fears. Still English and party kept on
not so cheerful, not so fast as befoie, it
is true- but still kept on as if they felt
secure. Once I saw them stop, consult,
look back, and then in a little while move
silently on. I managed to turn my head
a moment iu the terrible storm, and saw
that our trail was obliterated the moment
we passed. He turn was impossible even
had it been possible to recross the river,
if we had reached it. Again they halted,
huddled together, looked back, then
slowly struggled on again; sometimes
Scott, sometimes English, and then Wa
bash or Peoples in the lead ; but most of
the time the iron man English silently
and stubbornly kept ahead. I did not
speak to Baboon it was almost iinpossi
to be heard; besides it was useless. I
now knew we were in deadly peril not
from the rc bbers but from the storm.
Again they halted ; again grouped to
gether, gesticulating in the storm, shield
ing their faces against the 'sheets of ice.
Our trail had closed like a grave behind
us, and ovtr horses were now floundering
helplessly in the snow. Again English
struggled on; but at three iu the even
ing, standing up to the waist in the snow
beside his prostrate horse, he shouted for
us to approaeh. We did so, but could
scarcely see each other's faces as - we
pushed against the storm. We held our
heads bowed and necks bent, as you have
seen cattle, as such times' in a barnyard..
"II 's to pay,' boys ! I tell you,
h 's to pay ; aud if we don't keep our
heads level, we'll go up the flume like a
spring salmon. Which way do you think
is tho station ?" said English.
' Most of the party did not answer, but
pf those who did, scarcely two agreed. It
was deplorable pitiful. To add to our
consternation, the three men - who had
joined us at Lewiston did not come up.
We called, but no answer. "Wo never
saw them again. In the spring following
some Indians brought in a note-book,
which is now in my possession, with this
writing :! "Lost in the snow, .December
19, 1862, James A. Keel, of Macoupin
county, 111. ; Wesley Dean,, of St. Louis ;
Ed Parker, -of Boston.":. They, at the
same time,' brought in ' a pair of boots
containing bones of human ' feet. The
citizens went out and found the remains
of three men, and also a large sum of
money.-;-, i .. ..-,-;-
English stopped, studied a moment,
and then, as if resolved to take all into
his own hands, eaid:
"We must stick together; stick to-
.'I
gether, and follow me. I will shoot the
hrst man who don't obey, and send him
to hell a-fluking."
Again he led on. We struggled after
in silence benumbed, spiritless, help
less, half dead. Baboon was moody, as
of old.- Scott seemed like a child. It
grew dark soon the most fearful dark
cess I ever saw. I heard English call
and curse like a madman. "There is but
one chance," he said ; "come Up here
with your horses, and cut off your sad
dles." .' He got the horses together as
close as possible, and shot them down
throwing away his pistols as he emptied
them. Throwing the saddles on the heap,
he had each mau wrap his blanket around
him, and all huddle together on- the
mass.
"No nodding, now! I'll shoot the first
man who don't answer when I call him."
-J truly believe he would have done so.
Every man seemed to have given up all
hope, save this fierce man of iron. He
moved as if in his element. He made a
track iu the snow around us, and kept
constantly moving and shouting In less
than an hour we saw the good effects of
his action ; the animal heat from the
horses warmed us as it rose;
Suddenly he ceased to shout, and utter
ed an oath of surprise.. The storm had
lifted like a curtain, and away in the
north, as it seemed to us, the full, s ately
moon moved on toward the east. That
moon to us was as the sea - to the Ten
Thousand. We felt that we were saved.
For as the moon seemed oing in the
wrong direction for the station, -we, of
course, were in the right, and could not
be far from help.
When the morning suu came out, our
leader bade us up and follow. I waa al
most impossible to rise. Baboon fell, rose,
fell, and finally stood on his feet. But
one of the party a small German,
named Ross could not be roused. Eng
lish returned, cursed, kicked and rolled
him oer the frozen horses, and into the
snow, but it was useless. I think he was
already dead ; at least he had not moved
from the position we left him in, when
found by the returning party.
!. At eleven in the morning English, who
still resolutely le 1 the party, gave 'a shout
of joy as he stood on the edge of basaltic
cliff and looked down on the J'urlerre. A
long, straight pillar of white smoke rose
from the station, like a column of marble
supporting the blue dome above.
The dead man and money were
brought iu, and in a few days the trail
broken.
Baboon stood leaning ou the neck ot
I his horse, and firing double-barrelled dis
charges of smoke across it, as over a
barricade. Then he .called Scott and
English to him; told them he knew their
calling ; still he liked them ; that he be
lieved a brave rubber better than many
legal thieves who infested the laud ; and
oflercd them, or any of their band, a lair
start in life, to leave the mountains and
go with him. Scott laughed gayly it
flattered his vanity; but English was for
a moment very thoughtlul. Then- he
threw it off, aud sp)ke a moment to Wa
bash a quiet, hast' melancholy young
man, born in the papaw woods of Indi
ana. 'Wabash has been wanting to quit
and go home," said English to Baboon.
"Take hiui he is braver than Lucifer
and not a hair of your head" shall be
hurl."
Wabash then solemnly shook hands
with his old companions, and rode on.
English and his remaining comrades re
turned to Letfistoo.
We reached Walla Walla safely, and I
never saw Wabash or Baboon again. But
a letter lies before me as I write, post
marked Easton, Northampton county,
Pa., and signed, "Old Baboou." This
letter contains the following paragraph :
"The house stands in this wood of
elms. We have two California grizzlies,
and a pair of bull-dogs. Wabash keeps
the dogs chained, but I let the grizzl'es
go free. We arc not troubled with vis
itors." Scott, English, and Peoples were ar
rested some months later for highway
robbery, aud heavily iroued, were placed
under guard in a log house as a tempora
ry jail. That night was born the first
Vigilance Committee of the north. It
consisted of but six men, mostly Express
men. About midnight, under pretense
of furnishing the guaid with refresh
ments, they got hold of their arms, and
told the prisoners they must die. Scott
asked time to pray ; English swore furi
ously, but Peoples waa silent. Soun one
of the Vigilautes approached icott,
where he was kneeling, aud was about to
place a noose over his head.
"Hang me first, cried English, "aud
let him pray."
The wonderful courage of the man
appealed strongly to the Vigilantes, but
they. had gone too far to falter now. They
had but one rope, aud proceeded to exe
cute them, one at a time. When th ;
rope was around the neck of English, he
was asked by his executioners to invoke
his Cod. lie held down his head a mo
ment, muttered something, then straight
ened himself up, and, turning to Soott,
said :
"Nelse, pray for jno a little, can't you,
while I hang X D n if I can pray."
He looked over to where ' Peoples sat,
still as a stone, and continued, "D it if
I can pray, Billy ; can you ?".
- Peoples died without a word or strug
gle. When they came to Scott, and put
the rope about his neck, he was. still
praying most devoutly. lie offered, for
his life large sums of money which he
said he had buried ; but they told him
he must die.- Finding . there was . no
escape, he took off his watch and rings,
kissed them tenderly, and handing them
to one Of the Vigilantes, . said "Send
these to my Armina," and quietly sub
mitted. At dawn the three .- men,' eyes
aglare, lay side by side, in their irons, on
the . floor, - rigid in death. Overland

Manufactured and sold fir the very low price ol

r IlIlE simplicity and nracticabilitv of this new
JL Plow commends it favorably to tbe special
nolle of every farmer. It possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows now in us.. The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on tb.
nnplowed land. Its entire construction is iu no
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be nsed in making any alteration. The supe
riority of thd'-"Uay' Plow will b. clearly sbown
by the following certificate
We, tb. undersigned, citixens of Linn county,
Oregon, having purchased "and used upon our
farms tbe "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that tbe
fame has given us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit tbe depth of furrow without
moving from tb. seat, is simple and easy. We
like tbe plow for its draught, because tbe same is
brought to bear directly upon tb. plow-beam in
stead of the carriage ; also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the wood-work being con
structed of .wrought iron no ea-tings are used.
Tbe wheels running upon the solid land is an ad
vantage over other gang-plows, in stsikinw off
land and in plowing, aot having to make tb. nec
essary changM in the machinery, and tbe seat is
always level, not thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it ran be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by band, .
Wo take pleasure in recommending the "Oat"

Allow me to call your attention to my PREP- '
ARATION OF COMPOUND KXTRACT BU- .
CHU. Tbe component parts are, BUCUTJ, Long
Leaf OCBKBS, JUNIPER BEERIES.
Mode of Hreparation: Buehu. ia vacuo. , Jo-
niper Berries, by distillation', to form a fine gin. -Cubebs
extracted by displacement with spirits
obtained from Juniper Berries ; very little sugar
is nsed, and a small proportion of spirit. It is
more palatable than any now in use.
Buchu as prepared by Druggists, is of a dark ;
color. It is a plant that emits its fragrance ; tb.
action of a flame destroys this (its active prlncipl.)
leaving a dark and glntinons decoction. Mine is "
the eolor of ingredients. Tb. Buchu ia say prep
aration predominate. ; tbe smallest quantity of
the other ingredients are added to p reveal fer
mentation ; upon inspection it will be found not
to be a Tincture, as made in Pbarmaeopcee, aor
is it a Syrup and therefore can be ased ia cases
where fever or inflammation exists. Ia this, yoa
have the know'ledge of the ingredients and tbe
mode of preparation. ,
Hoping that yon will favor it with a trial, aad
that ape inspection it will meet with yrar appro
bation, with a feeling of profound eoaradene., .
I am very respectfully,
