OF the pleasures of monotony, Fra
zer's Magazine writes ut is pleas
ant to look down on the same parish
day after day, and say, l know all
that lies beneath, and all beneath
know me. If want friend, ! know
where to find him ; if want work
done, ! know who will do it. 1t is
pleasant and good to see the same
trees year after year the same birds
coming back in spring to the same
shrubs the same banks covered with
the same flowers, and broken. (if they
be stiff oncs) by the same gaps. Pleas
ant and good it is to ride on the same
horse, to sit in the same chair, to wear
the same old coat. That man who
offered twenty pounds reward for a
lost carpet-bag full of old boots was
a sage, and l wish l knew him."

WIRE FOR THE ATLANTIC CABLE.--It is
generally supposed that the Atlantic
cable was made entirely III England.
Such is not the case. Very many
miles Of the wire were manufactured
in Providence, at factory in the up
per portion of the city. One thou
sand tons of iron per day were con-
sumed in the work, and it's superiority
over that made in England is well un-
derstood by the Gable Company. 1t
is worthy of note that no portion of
the wire made in this country parted
while being laid.

whose claims to royal lineage have
caused so much discussion and con-

remarkable circumstance that the
Indians over whom he watched with
so much solicitude, and for whose
welfare he had labored so long, did
not attend in any numbers, there be-

at the grave, and they merely looked
on and retired coldly and impassively,
as if it had been stranger.

RoBBERy.--From the McGrcgor Times
we learn that bold burglary was
committed at that place on Friday
night last. The store of d. S. Cook
was entered by one of the windows,
tho front door then thrown open, and
the business of removing goods COM
menced. They had been at work but
a short time before they were dis
covered by some members Of the Wig
lance Committee and put to flight by
pistol shots. They were closely pur-
sued, but owing to the darkness of
the night they escaped, but not until
two of them had been recognized as
citizens of the place, named John A.
Brown and Charles Duel. Their houses
were Immediately searched, and in
the house of Brown was found cloths,
&c, which were taken from the store
Of w. Weber about three weeks ago.

upon. He is not an eagle, hawk, ra-

than full grown fowl of any Of the
above tribes, save the former, and is
too young yet to raise on wing. His
neck and breast arc white-balance,

fiery and vicious. He was Matched

UrAH.-The principal intelligence Of
interest from this Territory is the re-
suit of the Territorial election, which
occurred simultaneously with those of
Kansas and Missouri, OH the I'd ult.
A Gentle" ticket was run through
out the Territory, but was only sue
cessful in one precinct. In Green
River county Mr.. Ausborne was
elected to the Legislature, and he will
be solitary and alonc-the only
Gentle" in the Assembly of the
faithful. In Salt Lake county the OPP
position ticket received but thirty
nine votes, on account of the length
of residence required for voters.
According to passengers who came
through, dead beef cattle, sent out
from Fort Lcavenworth. were lying
by hundreds along the route. Russell,
Waddell & Co., the Government con-
tractors, are business men, and there
fore the supplies are all sent out at
the risk of Uncle Sam ! But what
would be thought of any private firm
which would permit its agents to
transport supplies on this basis.
Many soldiers were deserving from
the army-the domestic attractions of
Mormonism proving too much for their
patriotism. The appointments by
Gov. Cumming, of Probate Judges
for Green River and Carson counties,
was causing good deal of excite
ment and some threats but on &C
count of the presence of the army
would not, it was thought, produce
any general outbreak. The feelings
of the Mormons towards the Gentiles
were still very bitter; the general
amnesty extended by the President
had given them an exaggerated idea
of their power, and many consider the
Mormon problem by no means solved.

CAPTURED SLAvER.-The President
has ordered the frigate Niagara to
Charleston, to take on board and carry
back to Africa the 3ls negroes found
on board the captured slave brig Echo.
This action is in accordance with the
laws of the United States. The pres.
ence of those negroes in the port of
Charleston gave rise to considerable
excitement, and the fire-cating portion
of the community declared that they
should never leave that port, but be
reduced to slavery on the rice and
cotton fields of South Carolina The
opinion of the Attorney General of the
State was asked, and he replied that
the negroes could not be taken out of
the custody of the United States. The
officers and crew of the slave ship are
liable to the penalties for piracy.
They will be tried under the laws of
1919 and 1920, for their lives, as pr
rates sailing on an American bottom,
under the American flag. The case is
clear against them, and we do not see
how they can escape being hung I'M
less through Presidential pardon.
