zaD- Last week lady travelling from AL
bany to Buffalo by railroad lost a purse con-
tanning fifty dollars and her baggage checks,
The car in which she started was left at
Schenectady, and she did not discover her loss
until after she had changed cars and the train
had left Schenectady. She was in much dis
tress, as her Journey was to extend to Wiscon-
sin, and her entire funds were in the purse.
But upon reaching station near Utica, the
conductor Of the train found telogrAphic dis
patch awaiting him, which announced the
finding of a purse in the detached car, and re-
quested him to find the owner. lie satisfied
himself that the purse found belonged to the
lady, and telegrGphed request for it to be
sent by the next train to Buffalo. The lady
waited few hours in that city, received her
purse, and went on her journey rejoicing.

CONSEQUENCES OF LEAVING YoUNG WrvEs.-
A ST. Louis paper relates the troubles Of II
California gold-seoker who lett New York for
san Francisco, thence proceeded to tho
mines, worked hard for four years, relnitting
to his wife in the Empire city 81 900 per an
mum all tho time, and finally returned home
anxious to meet the partner of his life, and
with her share q handsome fortune be had
accumulated. IIo found, however, that dur
ing his absence sho had married gay youth,
was tho mother OF thrco children, and that
all wero living III st. Louis. He wont to
that city and had an interview with her, with
what result is not stated; but the st. Louis
writer thinks tho incident is another proof Of
the folly of leaving handsome young vito
in tho great city Of New York to tho mercy
Of fast young mon, fierce moustaches, patent
leather boots, cltoker collars and gold chains.

Heber C. Kimbap y C citing Violent.

Tho VaHey Tan, August 10, publishes re-
port Of Heber G. Ejmbals last harangue be-
fore the Saints. That worthy apostle expressed
himself somewhat strongly, as follows:
sendon your armies; they can do no harm.
God vii look after the welfare of his people
and apeld them from all injury. Let your
armies do their best-their ''purtiest" they
cant effect anything.
Trespect officials who will perform their Of
fetal duties as they should, and leave the Nor
mon people alone; but how can respect my
euepaies? How can respect judge who
does his best to iDjure innocent people?
know what theJ want; they want to NIB Brig
ham Young, and then they want me and others.
They will nab him, too, when God wants them
to: but God won't let them nab him, and they
can't nab me. Laughter. l fear them about
as much as pis-ant; not quite so much, either,
for pis-ant will bite my leg once in while.
I am the son Of a revolutionary sire, who strug-
gled for the liberty OF his country, and am
going to have religious freedom. j have al
ways observed the laws and mean to be pro-
tected by them in my religious belief the same
as the people Of New England arc. As they
treat US they will be treated. The UnitcG

saw, before fifteen years--see it from tho head
ofthe government down. Famine upon famin',
mob after mob, civil discord from one end Of
the country to tho othor, terrible whirlwinis,
and swift destruction will DO their certlin
doom.
This country has done some biz sighting,
but it can't beat Mormonsm. ThorQ are
four thousand elders in foreign lands prlach-
ing Mormonism- all foreigners. There
arc forty, or fifty, Or sixty organized quorums
of Seventies. Suppose they kill all the
members Of this church but an elder. From
that small seed our principles would again
be given to tho world, and our cause would
prosper like the Canada thistle. When they
pcrsocute us, it is like breaking mustard
Stalk-the stroke only causes an increase, BY
more thoroughly scattering the seed.
Speaking Of thiatles reminds me of brlgh
idea of Greeley'a. He thought it would be
wise notion to sow Canada thistleo all alonl
the plains, between here and the States, Il
iced stock upon. Why, that would kill al
tho cattle with the bloody murrain, and pricl
lis to death. Somuch for Grcelcy's Judgment

Gs-A polished surface of metal has often
been used in place OF a hone or strop for Civ
ing fine, smooth edge to cutlery; but owing
to its rigidity it could only come. in contact
with the entire level surface Of the blade, or
edge, of the instrument to be sharpened, rem

SHOE PEGGING MAcHINE.-We examined the
other day little machine made up of three or four
and couple of saws and saw it take hold of a
large brogan shoe, and peg it in neat and work
man-like manner. two rows all around, in less than
half minute. The most skilful shoemaker would
have required ten or fifteen minutes to perform the
same task, and consequently Sturtevant's machine
does the work of twenty or thirty shoemakers,
without getting at all out of breath.
The shoe, fitted on last ready for pegging, was
placed in an iron frame or jack, attached to the
the operator. The machine being then put in rapid
motion, seized hold of the shoe, gave it a rapid
turn or two, and then, after few seconds of rat
tling, and gathering, off came the brogan with the
sole firmly pegged. The machine was next moved
slowly, so that we might see how the thing wal
done. There was not much of it, as the man il
charge remarked, and the greatest wonder was how
so much work could be accomplished by so littl,
machinery.-Neto York Post
