10 It is now certain that Western
Utah will have large population and
much wealth, and it becomes matter
of Importance to know what laws are
to prevail there. In regard to the
tenure of land, it is the same as in the
mineral districts of California. Land
suitable for agricultural or grazing
purposes only may be held in accor-
dance with the customs or mining laws
adopted by the miners of the respective
districts. The chief court of justice
is the Federal District Court, created
by the organic law of the Territory,
and presided over by Judge Cradle:
baugh. The Probate Court, Jadge
Childs presiding, exists uAdera terri
torial law. These are the only in re.
cord in Western Utah, and both hole
their sessions in Genoa. The laws il
force are the organic statute and thu
laws of the Territory of Utah.-Ex.

the earth, and new race spring up,

like one sweetbriars trained over the

porch, and pervading it pleasant air

yet in their teens there too, and young
ladies dressed like fashion plates, and
playing on the piano, while mother"
keeps up running accompaniment in
the kitchen, securing tins and cleaning
the pancake griddle.
You'll also find the parlors full ofeta-
CERES, and the etageres full offrail, ex :
pensiYe toys, and that there isn't a
place where little wandering child
could rest the sole of his foot without
breaking things. Nurseries for chii-
dren, did you say9 Granted in houses
but not in homes. In homes they are
welcome anywhere in houses they are
nuisance. In homes there is nothing
too good for them to enjoy ; in houses
they soil the carpets and stain the da
mask, and break the china bought al
such an enormous expense for company
In homes they can eat at The same tablt
with father and mother" in houses
they must dine with Bridget, viii
whom father and mother" would no
eat meal for all the world. In home
mother puts them to bed and stuck
them up and hears their prayers /; il
houses Bridget undresses them, tell
them never mind the prayers, and scare
them to sleep with the story ofthe sew

Platform, to hear persons remark II
Is nothing but a country newspaper.
Whatever We may say about country
and city papers, We do not intend as
reflection upon, or digpasagement of
anybody or anything, but simply to

rnental or foreign affairs, and of course
is worthless to all swell heads and empty
pates; but we unhesita!ingly say that
nothing has so great influence upon the
great bulk of mankind as the country
press. The reasons for this are obvious.
The generality of mankind have not the

and when they do, the matter contain.

ever so'interesting to the few, as to be
