The Dead Child.

Few things appear so beautiful MS a
young child in its shroud. The little inno-
cent face looks so sublimely simple and
confding among the terrors of DEATH
Crimeless and fearless, that little mortal
has passed alone under the shadow. There
is death in its sublimest and purest i'm
age; no hatred, no hypocricy, no suspicion,
no care for the morrow ever darkened that
little face; death has come lovingly upon
it; there is nothing cruel or harsh in its vic
tory. The yearnings of love indeed, cannot
be stifed; for the prattle and smile-all
the little wcrld of thoughts that were so
delightful-are done forever. Awe, too,
will overcast us in its presence; for the
lonely voyager, the child has gone, simple
and trusting, into the trusting of an all-wise
Father; and of such, We know, is the king
dom of Heaven.

THE WEATHER AND CRoPs.-Frem all
quarters, We hear favorable reports of the
Wheat crop. Scarcely whine or grunt
is heard, and the present fine weather, will
in few days, we are told, place it beyond
danger.
Grass is heavy and tho promise of abun-
dant forage for winter stock, was never bet
ter.
Spring crops, of course, are not forward
but are doing well, and promising fair
return.
Fruit in this region is nearly or quite IN
entire failure. We shall not only have no
Peaches, but the trees are in such condi-
ton, that many will not survive, and those
that do, will take long time TO get back
to health and bearing. Large portions Of
nearly or quite all the trees We have mott.
ced are entirely blasted.
Apples, while the trees are yet in bloom
promise an unusual yield but the fruit
growers assure us that their orchards viii
hardly give barrel for their own use.-

Death of cold HannlbaI,, the
Elephant.

The following we copy from the Cleve-
land Plaindealer: - -
This old and justly distinguished elephant
died at Garfield on Monday. He was
quite old-extremely SO. We have heard
his age stated variously from five hundred
10 one thousand years. At times Hanni-
bal was rather wild. Domestic troubles
may have been the cause Of this. We be-
lieve his faults were of the head, however,
and not of the heart. He never used to-
baco in any form, and in all his travels was
never forced to pledge his trunk for his ho.
tel bills. What other Snowman of any
note can say as much? Still, the fact can't
be disguised, Hannibal cut up some very
hard capers during his life. In Maine,
years ago, he was one night up in a shed.
In the morning he was found three or four
| miles off with the roof Of the shed upon his
back!
When connected with June & Titus
Circus and Menagerie be had falling otit
with some of the performers, and one day
whilst they were making their grand "en-
tree" in the ring, on their high mettled and
gorgeously-capsrisoned horses, Hannibal
burst his fastenings, rushed into the ring,
and unhorsed every man of them. After
tossing them around for while, be return
ed to bis accustomed place and permitted
his keeper to tie him up again.
Going from Boston to Salem some years
ago, he became enraged. about something
or other, and made terrific work on the road
tearing down fences tipping over wa
gons, and tossed men and horses into the
air.
Travelling from one small town To anoth-
er, one Sunday afternoon in New Hanp-
shire, Hannibal met long line of car
riages, filled with people going home from
church. The man in the head carriage
struck the elephant smart blow with his
whip as he passed. Hannibal immediate
ly unloaded the entire line of carriages
No one was seriously injured.
One night, as his keeper was driving him
thro' strip ofwoods in VT, violent thun-
derstorm arose. A tree was struck by light
ming, and one of its shattered branches
struck the keeper killing him instantly. All
night long the elephant watched the dead
man closely and tenderly even as mother
would watch the corpse of her child, and
never from that moment left him until he
was buried. Hannibal meant well.
We don't hear what allied Hannibal
probably it was old age. We understand
that he cost his last owners, Van Amburg
& Co., $4,000. "Peace to his ashes"

A Day ON a March.

An army correspondent of the Missouri
Democrat gives graphic sketch of a sol
diers life on the march to Utah:
HEAD QUARTERS AT ASH PoNr, Z. T.,
103 miles west from Leayenworth.
FRIDAY, June 1s.-The reveille at $50
A. NJ, the setting out on the march at $50,
(the intermediate time being occupied with
the cooking, eating Of breakfast and reload
ing of wagons may now be considered an
established rule at headquarters. Taking
halt of fifteen minutes at noon, if an in
viting spot presents itself, promises to be-
come usage also. The animals are then
watered, the men replenish their canteens,
and the officers learn with dismay how
rapidly those liquids, which are limited, in
supply, evaporate in the heat and dust of
the march. The hour of encampment is
generally between two and three in the af-
ternoon. The point is designated in ad
vance by the general" when some men
ride on and, as it were, take possession of
it. In their red shirts on the side of grassy
slope, they are signal for the ambulances,
Tin the first of which the General rides,) to
turn aside and leave the road. The gene
raj selects the site of his tent, and that
point determines the line Of encampment.
The officers tents, with their wagons and
ambulances, arc placed apart, the vehicles
constituting the first line, the cooking tents
the second, and the dwelling tents the
third. The soldiers and teamsters tents
and wagons are also drawn up in lines, and
when night comes sentries are placed over
all. As soon as the vehicles reach the
ground the mules are turned loose to Craze,
and at sundown they are "picketed :" for
the night, being first fed on corn. Pick
citing means fastening one end of a rope.
thirty feet long, to the mules head, and the
other end by means of an iron pin to the
ground. In the morning he stands in q
very well defined circle, twenty yards in di-
ameter, and as bare as a circus ring.
/ need not say that the ancient and uni
versal custom of finding fires is observed
with alaerity, as soon as the tents are
pitched. The ambulances are hardly on
the ground when the servants are scouting
for fire-wood. The smoke of the cooking
stove promptly rises from the apex of every
tent which has a stove; and elsewhere the
open fires under the oak trees, ministercd
to by men in strange vestments, suggest
the fancy that the tire-worshiping Druids
still exist.
l have come to the conclusion that the
whisky shop is the harbinger of civilization
in the West. Alone on the prairie was
whisky barrel in the centre of a square,
On the four naked posts, which stood on
the four corners, was placed covering,
from which hung some bedding. Sitting
on the grass by the barrel, with tin meas
ure in his hand, ready to wait on his Gus
toners, was the proprietor Of the establish
ment. 1 will do him the justice to say
that he seemed to feel ashamed of himself.

Great Clock.

Henry G. Wright, in a letter to the Lib
orator, thus describes the great clock in the
Cathedral of Strasburg:
"The priests and military have retired,
and l am now sitting in a chair feeling the
gigantic clock-from the bottom to the top
not less than 100 feet and about thirty
feet wide and fifteen deep. Around me
are many strangers waiting to see the work
ing of this clock as it strikes the hour Of
twelve. The clock has struck in this way
the dial is some twenty feet from the floor,
on each side of which is cherub, or lit
tie boy with mallet, and over the dial is
a small bell. The cherub on the left strikes
the first quarter, and that on the right the
second quarter. Some fifty feet over the di-
al, in large mich is a figure of Time, bell
in his left, scythe in his right hand. In
front stands young man with q mallet
who strikes the third quarter on the bell
in the hand of Time, and then turns and
glides, with slow step round behind Time,
then comes out an old man with a mallet
and places himself in front of him.
As the hour of twelve comes, the old
man raises his mallet, and deliberately
strikes twelve times on the bell, that ech-
oes through the building, and is heard all
around the region of the church. The old
man gldes slowly behind Father Time and
the young man comes on ready to perform
his part, as the time comes round again
Soon as the old man has struck twelve and
disappeared, another set of machinery is put
in motion some twenty feet higher still
1t is thus: there is high cross, with an
image of Christ on it. The instant IL has
struck, one of the apostles walks out from
behind, comes in front, turns, facing the
cross, bows and walks on around the place.
AS he does so, another comes out in front,
turns, bows, and passes on. So twelve
apostles, figures as large as life, walk round,
bow, and pass on. AS the last appears, an
enormous cock, perched on the pinnacle OF
the clock, slowly flaps its wings, stretches
forth his neck, and crows three times, so
loud as to be heard outside Of the church
to some distance, and so naturally, as to be
missak for a real cock. Then all is 81
lent rs death. No wonder this clock is the
admiration of Europe. 1t was made in
1871, and has performed those mechanic
wonders ever since, except about fifty years.

ga LAUNDERING GJoLT."-The other day
as a train of cars on the Orange and Alex
andria Rail Road was ut the beidge oppo-
site the residence of Mr.. Wallach, near
Culpeper, G. H., the engine driver discov-
cred man sitting on the track with his
head hanging down, as if taking a nap. All
efforts were made to stop the train; though
it being near the end of a curve it was i'm
possible TO do so in time. When the en-
gine struck the man, it lifted him eight or
ten feet in the air, and he fell flat on his
back in the ditch, apparently lifeless. The
conductor ran the train back and took him
on boa:d the cars and then started back to
procure for him medical aid. While on
the way back the man commenced talking,
re marking that they were carrying him the
wrong way. He soon after raised up his
head and said he was not hurt. He then
rose to his feet, remarking at the time,
"Strangcr, you gave me a laundering jolt
Hllo let me get off" The train stopped.
AS he alighted on the ground, he jumped
up and cracked his heels and bade adieu.
He called himself Jack Brown of Culpeper.

AN INDIAN BURIAL.-A correspondent
of the Times says of the Shoshoneo or
Snake Indians, IA Utah tribe) that
ga brother of Little Soldier, the chief,
died few days before the arrival there of
the party, and his relatives, in addition to
tho killing of his favoritc horses over his
grave, buried acih hin, lille boy, of
phom he scas rery fond, an order that he
might accompany him to the spirit land.
They wrapped the boy up alive in blan-
ket, and placing him in the grave with the
corpse, buried them together"
This band of Indians have always re-
sided in the immediate vicinity Of Salt Lake
City and the northern settlements.

IMPORTANT DEcIs1oN.-At the recent

rent being Withheld, and the parties, to evade
the laws Of the State, proceed to an adjoin-
ing State, and there enter into the mar
riage contract, and then return totheir for
mer domicil, the Court will not interfere to
set aside contract so made in express sio-
lation of the laws of this State.
