GREAT SALT LAKE C1T1. June 90
The Mormons remain at Prove yetnot wis.,
ing to bring their females near the soldier
boys. They are living there, the majority
at least. IN tents, whilst their comft rtable
houses in this city remain vacant, with all
the doors and windows boarded up. None
OF the gentiles can obtain house room either
for dwellings or for store purposes. This
is particularly hard on the merchants, who
have bought cat large stocks of goods. No
reason is assigned by the Mormons for this
dog-in -the-manger policy, except, as they
say, they want first to see what the army
will do and where it will locate. As vet,
none have been able to procure sleeping
apartments except the Governor, Secretary
Marshal and Commissioners, and even most
Of them had for a while to sleep in their wag-
ons. Many of the merchants arrived in the
city to-day.

re- We were somewhat astonished

~ We were somewhat astonished at
the surprise expressed by the Spectator at
it's failure to convince us of the similarity of
the position of Summers and Letcher. In
fact, we had never suspected our neighbor Of
attempting to accomplish any definite object.
His design was not to injure Mr.. Letcher
oh, no-he loves Mr.. Letcher with all the
strength of his affectionate heart The De-
mocratic party generally was his game, and
his line Of action in the attack very forcibly
reminds US of the policy of the immortal Mr.
Tupman in shooting partridgos. His first
object was not to shoot himself; his second !,
10 endanger no one else, and obviously, the
best plan after these two preliminaries,
vas to shut his eyes tight and fire indef-
nitely in the air. So with the Spectator
His first care, as has always been the case
With our prudent neighbor, was not to COM
NIT himsef-his second, not to hurt Mr.
Letcher, or any other living individual.
After making these two prudent provisions,
be quietly closed his eyes and fred away
blindly at the Democratic party. 1t is not
On record that Mr.. Tupman ever hit bis
mark, and SO We are afraid it will be with
sur unhappy neighbor to the end of time.

ROYAL LOVERS AFTER MAR
RTAGE

If one may judge from the following :ac-
count, the married life Of Queen Victoria $
eldest daughter glides on as smooth as pcs
sible.:.>
The little lady really loves her lord more
devoted1y than is often the case in her rank
OF life, and there are many anecdotes in cir
enlation illustrating the artless manner in
which she displays her attachment. The
j>othor day the Prince went over to Potsdam
ION Important business" i. e. drilling and
maneyring his brigade Of Guards; but he
had scarcely been absent few hours when
he was CALLED to Berlin by telegraph de-
spatch from the Princess, begging him to
return Immediately. He hasted back in the
utmost alarm, fancying something dreadful
had happened land was quite lieved by her
receiving him in her usual health and spir-
its, only stating, when questioned why she
had sent for him in so violent hurry, that
she "had felt such longing to see him
agaln;" "and besides" she added, on her
husband demonstrating with her for calling
him away from his professional duties,
mamma always telegraphs for papa when
she wants aim"
This reference to what her mamma does,
the little Princess considers justification
for any offence she may commit against the
starch etiquette of the Prussian court. One
day she put on her bonnet and walked a.
cross the street to her father-in-law's, with
out even footman behind her, to the mex
pressible horror OF her Obuhof me;sterin or
duenna in chief, who exclaimed that no
Prussian Princess had ever been guilty of
such breach Of decorum. "But mamma
does SO at Osborne" returned Vic the Sc
cond. sand if mamma does so, why should not
IT Her aaability and good nature have
made her generally popular, though she
almost raised a rebellion in the kitchen
lately. by insisting that the female domes-
tics should all wear caps.
Now. the German maid servants are re-
markably proud of their hair, and never
think Of putting on cap for fear of spelling
their luxuriant dresses. Great was the COM
motion, therefore, when the Princess issued
her orders to that effect; but the little lady
was memorable. s'ln mammals establish
ment they all wear caps" she said, ssand SO
they must in mine" Since the departure of
her mother. in-iaw. the Princess Of Prussia,
in Berlin, she has much more Of her own
way than she used to, the Queen being so
entirely taken up with attending to the King
that she is not able to interfere with her.
and the Prince yielding like gallant hus-
band to all the innocent caprices Of his fair
young wife. ia

Murrain-We have been informed thai
a considerable number Of cattle have been
lost in the grazing districts of this county,
from the murrain, this year. The cause
has not been ascertained definitely, though
by some grazers it is attributed to the sasa-
fras, of the young sprouts Of which, grow
ing very luxuriant this year, the cattle par
take very freely. Some men have lost eight
and ten head ia the last few weeks out of
small lots.
As preventive, we would recommend
plenty Of salt, mixed up with hickory ashes
and little brand. This has been recon
mened as an infallible catholicon if used
through the summer. Once week it Of
tea enough.-Cum5erlawd 7ss.

States, but the Bureaus array Of testimony
proved overwhelming. He has been SEN
fenced to seven years in the penitentiary of
Arkansas which he has already commenced

complains that the new diggings have put
an end to the suicides. Several literary and
political gentlemen of this city have been
