home week or two ago, with between
$4,000 and $4,000 in gold coin. Feel
ing it unsafe to keep so much money about
him, and suspicious of the honesty Of
banking institutions, he determined to
bury it, which he accordingly did, with
out informing any one of the locality
few days afterwards he went out riding,
when he was thrown from his horse and
instantly killed. OF course no one knows
where the money is, although it has been
searched for very carefully.
TnREAIs oFTYs FIRE-EATERs.-Them miser-
ably weak and spawned set of fire-eaters
in the South, who by some sort of hocus-
pocus, known only to the unscrupulous
leaders OF parties, have apparent control
Of matters among the Democracy, say
they intend to dissolve the Union in the
event Of the election of IL Black Repub-
lican President. These same fellows all
say that they regard Douglas as worse
even than Black Republican, yet none
of them have yet had the hardihood to
say they would break up the confederacy
should he be elected. Most beautiful
consistency! We prefer to let it stand
by itself without comment. Look at it.
COMMENTARY TO oGREELEY.-The Valley
Tun, paper, published at Salt Lake
City, publishes a sketch of an address to
the Saints by Eeber Kimball, Mormon
elder. The following is the conclusion:
Speaking of thistles reminds me of
bright idea of Greeley's. He thought it
would be a wise notion to sow Canada
tlIistles all along the plains, between here
and the States, to feed stock upon. Why
that would kill all the cattle with the
Ebloody murrian and prick us to DEATH
So much for Greeley's judgement. What
a fruitful imagination he must have! He
is the greatest liar on the face of the
earth. Why, bless your soul, he is the
father of all liars. He will go to hell,
and be the father of liars there. Amen.
VERY MuCH MISTAKEN.--Some people
have great idea of what it takes to
make ohe smart A man comes from
another State or town, and abuses every
| thing that is not precisely like that to
which he has been used, and finds fault
with everybody unlike himself, There is
nothing good, nothing that suits him, but
what he left behind him in his own
counery. He is always ready to say how
this thing and that is done where he come
| from-how they do in his town. 1t is
strange that such man finds occasion to
| change his residence. Why i'm the name
of common sense does he not remain
where he finds those good things and
those clever people he seems to admire
| and love so much? What does he come
away for? We would say to every such
creature that he cannot render himself
popular by finding fault with everything
and everybody around him. The fact of
| the case is, such persons are trying to
| impress others with the idea that they
are little smarter than anybody else, yet
in trying to,impress that idea, they only
prove themselves to be ignoramuses. A
sensible man will keep his mouth shut
If this cap fits anybody in our midst, he
or she is at perfect liberty to wear it,
