lion. John +. Kinney, formerly Chief
Justice Of Utah Territory, the eloquent
IIoIIcy, S. +. Nuckols. the moni,d king
u South Plate, also the eccentric J. 5.
Morton.
We called upon Mr.. Reynolds Of the
Nsws and found him on the square aud
aourishing like a Green Bay horse. On
our departure from said city we drove to
the handsome residence Of Hon. j. >.
Morton. After taking a sharp and pier.
cling glance a, the bottom Of a glass from
Mor,on's side board, we passed 10 the
rear of his residence to get a bird's-eye
view Of his celebrated tro,ting horse,
Pete" we think he called him. Pete
is a stallion. coal black, FIVE years old,
and estimated ut 81 900; goes in a har-
ness-less than three minutes-anJ for
beauty aud carriage, we never saw his
superior. Morton is evidently proud OF
Pete. as he well may he, for the horse
will do his masters bidding III most every
intelligent maneuver except we do not
remember to have heard him speak a
single word.
AS we were about 10 start we noticed
n small specimen Of the canine species
which we admired, and on proper pre-
sentaiion by said Morton Of this young
" Dorg,- according to law aud custom,
we seized SAID animal and slowed him
away under the carriage seat, making u
music box Of The same until we arrived
at Plattslnou,h again. Here we found
our friends, true to the promise they had
made us on our dow inward trip, had gath
cred up the ribbons, silks, and crinoline
for a social dance, which If we are any
Judge, was properly had a, the Plate
Valley House, Mr.. M'Carty proprietor,
This was the acme Of our pleasure and
with nimbIe feet and a hearty good will
we whirled thro' the gidJy mazes of the
dance, and the house was redoleni with
life, wit, and beauty, and all persons
things and considera ions were envelopet
in the Terpsichorean art,
" And when music rose with its yOluptuouI
swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes that spoke a,
WELL"
Strength and manhood were led will
ing cap,ives. chained TO the charlo, o.
beauty, whilst its wheels revolved to the
.xhilarating strains Of music, the brigh
lights shone respondent upon the assem-
bled pride of Pla,tsmouih,
The next day we found our way t
this place and in due form boptizing tn
dorg with an euphoninus name. Of a
which the world will be advised in du

JEFFERSON AND ron MOORE,

There is an amusing episode in jefferson public earce
which is related by Mr. Randall in quiet vein of sub
ducd humor. Thomas Moore visited the United States
in 1903 at the age OF twenty four, Just after he had
acquired dubious notoriey by the publication OF Littes
poems He presented TO President Jefferson by Mr.
Merry the British minister. II that Jefferson not
aware of the identity Of the poecal young gentleman
probably having heard Of and certainly not having
read his amorous lucubratons- simply spoke to the
liputian stranger looking down ooldy upon him, six
feet two cu look down five feet three and passed
on This was ia june 1904, aud Moore, much offended
.le TO lanpoonng the President and every thing Ameri
except few attentive federal gentlemen and ladies
These he published bis return to England and that
what he wrote in his full conviction is evident
hom his private letters to his mother, from America
which Lord John Russell with his usual want OF udg
nent has published with Moore's diaries.
When of Jetfersons intimate friends the
in which Moore had not only abused America, but
lampooned her Chief Magistrate they determined to place
the subject before the person chiefly concerned Jeer-
son daughter Mrs R,ndolph aud his exsecretary Mr.
Burwell talked themselves into towering indignation
and waited upon Jefferson, who sitting reading in the
library at Moncello serenely unconscious Of the caam
ity % Buryell pointed out the obnoxious passages
The victim glanced through them, looked at angry
nerlocutor and then the other 1t amusing enough
TO see Buell exasperated but the calm gentle Mar
thl passiongust irresistible Mr. Jefferson broke
out into clear, hearty laugh There than
gument- there was conviction in that laugh. The in
dignaut pair reeated looking little crest fallen but as
soon the library door closed joined heartily In the
merriment
Many years later Moores Irish melodies apseared in
the United States The book placed in Jeerson's
hands by his grand daughter who had curiosity
see how it would be received. ''Why, said he, this
is the little who satrized so r He had always
spmpathized keenly with the Irish patriots The de-
lghtful rythm fell like music susceptible ear
He presently exclaimed .'Why he Is poet after all
Henceforh, adds Mr.. Randall the Bard of Erin shared
with Burns the honor of being Familiarity read by the re-
tired statesman, when Byron, Wordsworth Southey,
Colerige, Campbell etc. could tor at least never
did break through the barrier his early habits and
tastes The last page which Mr. Jefferson hand traced
his farewell TO his daughter contained quotation of
several lines from Moores song commencing 1T is not

readers We looking Tor the small things in com.
mercematters that in taking magnificent broad and
comprehensive view would be overlooked Just as the
invention of the greatest Importance for domestic pur

An humble inventor placed in such exhibition

Visitors went there looking for great thing not re

chemical fire, the greatest thing in that proud
collection destined to work revolution in the means of
procuring artificial light, and to become universal ne

1t Is not more than twenty years since the tnder-

Under the head Of pin we find that the manufacture
of this indispensable little instrument commenced in
the United States between 1872 and 1920 since which
time the business has extended greatly, and several
patents for the OF pins have been taken out
The manufacture in England and other parts of Europe
conducted upon Improvements made in the United States
Notwithstanding the extent Of productions, the
United States imported in 1856 pins to the value of
$40, 255.
