wHY Mr.. CoLFAx WENT TO UrAH'-
Speaker Colfax, In his reply to the Gail OF
the people OF Salt L,ke CITY, on tho eVen-
Ing Of June Sd, said' ......g.
aI know Il is supposed, IL 10 almost
byvord, that we OF the sterner ser,
have adopted, that the ladies, the other sex,
arc the most inquisitivo. Having aprofound
reverence for women, fT I believe that
mother, wife, home and heaven are the
four poblest, dearest wogds In the English
language, have never believed this TO be
true;but, from a long experience and obser-
walton, am persuaded that our own sex Is
quite ~ inquisitive as the other. l can
give you some proof of this. There has
not been one lady in Salt Lake City that
has ask d, "Wbat have you come out here
for3'' while there have been several gen.
tlemen who have nquircd, very respectfully,
Il Is true, "What was the object of your
coming 70 Utah7" (Cheors and laughter. }
Now am going TO tell you frankly all about
II, so that your curiosity shall be entirely
allayed. will begin by telling you what
we did not come for. In the first place
we did not come to steal any Of your lands
and possessions, not q bit of 1t. In the
second place, we did not come out here TO
make remarkable fortune by the discove
~ OF BOlu anu silver mines just yet. Laugh
ter.) In the fourth place, we did not come
here to stir up strife of any character; we
came TO accept the Inequalities of every
body here, ofall sects, creeds and beliefs,
who are willing TO receive MS, "a voice
Sand you shall have it.") and we have
received 1t from all. Well, now, you can
see, we would not have any Interior design
or motive In coming here. / might add,
in the fifth place, that we started for Cali.
fornia, and we are just stopping here on
the road. (Laughter.) have had q the
DRY for years past that all persons holding
prominent position In public life, charged
with participation inithe government ola
great country like ours, to know as much as
possible of the interest, Development and
resources of The country whose destiny,
comparatively, has been committed to their
hands. CLEAR, hear.) And / said 10 my
friends, If they would accompany me, we
won Id travel over the new world till we
could look from the shores of the Pacific
towards the continent OF Asia, the cradle
ofthe human race. And, therefore, we
are here travelling night and day over your
mountains and valleys, your desert and
plains, to seethls region bet ween the Rocky
mountains and the Pacific, where, as be-
lieve, the seat of empire in the republic III.
timately Is TO be.

Shocking Casualty at Spring Lake, ILL
uCis- Three Young Ladies' Drowned.

From the Peoria Democrat, 17th.l
One of the most shocking casualties
by drowning, which we have for a long
time recorded, occurred on Saturday
afternoon last at Spring Lake, about
fifteen miles below Pekin. According
to the statement of our informant,
family by the name of Clayton reside
near the lake, and two young ladies
from Iowa - relatives OF the faml-
ly, and of the same name were
on a visit to them. On Satur-
day afternoon it was proposed to take
boat ride upon the lake, to which all
| ioyfully assented, and boat was pro-
cured which it was thought would an
swer the purpose although old and
leaky. The party consisted of two
young ladies from Iowa, their cousins,
two Misses Clayton of Spring Lake and
another young lady by the name of
Kane, together with young man and
boy by the name of Clayton, also rel
atives, and another young man by the
name of Mclean, in all eight persons.
The youthful party left the shore in
the best possible spirits with the expec-
tation of enjoying pleasant afternoon
upon the water, little dreaming that In
the short space of one hour, three of
their number, then in the bloom of
health and happiness, would be in eter-
nifty. When in about the middle of the
lake the boat suddenly filed, and in less
time than we are writing the paragraph,
the whole party were floating upon the
water. The boy managed to reach the
shore, and young Clayton, by almost
superhuman exertions, succeeded in sa-
wing his two sisters, although his en-
deavors were equally exerted to save the
lives of all the young ladies, but We're
fruitless. Mclean managed to reach
the shore by swimming, but what exer-
tions he made use of to save the lives of
the party is not known. The bodies OF
the two Misses Clayton, from Iowa, to-
gether with that of Miss Kane, have
been recovered. The two young ladies
saved have since been quite low, owing
to being SO long in the water and the
consequent excitement at the closing in
such O melancholy manner OF an after
noon devoted to pleasure.

Marriage I'm High Lie.

The Hamilton, G. w., correspondent
of the Toronto Leader tells the follow
ing story:
The eldest son of a certain Honora-
BILE in Hamilton has recently been dis
covered to have acted in a manner con-
trary to the usages of well bred society.
In word he has been guilty of allying
himself to plebeian blood; he has mar
ried servant girl, and the consequence
is trouble in the family. The youth
was never known for anything remarka-
BILE beyond being what in common par
lance is termed "fast." Report says
he took fancy to the girl, and to his
credit be it known, he sent her to school
some two years ago; and she now comes
out greatly improved. She is spoken
of as very nice young woman, and,
everybody says, vastly superior to her
husband. So that after all there should
not be so much noise about the affair.
If any person should complain, it
should be the friends of the servant
girl.

Manufactured Furs, Hats, Gaps, sc.

1t will be perceived by the advertise
ment of FRIEDRICH GUNTHER, that he
offers to the public as large and COM
plete stock of furs, as was ever before
opened by any house in the northwest.
MIR. Gunther has been sixteen years in
the trade in this city. His beginning, of
course, was small.
His business is now SO enlarged
that it is one of the largest in the north
west. He employs twenty-five hands
in the manufacture of furs alone, and
thirty hands in other branches of his
manufactures. His business has been
built up by the most careful industry,
Boosting; simply because Mr.. Gunther
makes good article and sells it at a
reasonable rate. He takes special pains
in the manufacture of his furs, as he
knows that reputation once establish
ed in this line, is the foundation of a
sure fortune.
This season, Mr.. Gunther feels that
he has peculiarly the command of the
market. He bought his furs in the
spring when they were low, and now
when they are very high, he can afford
to sell them at much less than the cur
rent rates.
Mr.. Gunther is also large dealer in
hats and caps, and he makes 1T a point to
keep in his stock every conceivable fash
ion and variety. He is now prepared for
a large jobbing business with the coun-
try merchants of Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota. He has large and splendid
store on East Water street, four stories
in height, and all devoted to his bust
ness first floor, retail salesroom ; Sec
ond floor, manufacturing depot, where
he manufactures furs, hats and caps
third floor, is the wholesale hat depart
ment, and the fourth floor wholesale cap
department. Altogether the establish
ment is hive of busy industry, and is
a fair indication of the vigorous growth
of the city in its manufacturing and
interests, -NA Wisconsin.

Nine Children Killed or Wounded by the
Bursting of q She'll
(From the Louisville Democrat Oct. 1a

(From the Louisville Democrat, Oct. 49,
On last Saturday morning, number
of children went into the woods near
Brandenburg, for the purpose of gath
ering nuts. In rambling through the
woods one of the boys fonnd what he
supposed to be an iron ball, when he
called the other children to look at it.
The children took what they supposed
to be a ball, but which was really a
shell, home with them, and commenced
endeavoring to break it open, when it
exploded with q terrible noise, scattering
it's death missiles in all directions.
The house to which the shell was
taken was that of Mr. Padgett, of Bran
burg. At the time the shell exploded
there were nine children around it, all
of whom were more or less injured,
some of them had their arms and legs
blown off, and so mutilated that it was
hardly possible to recognize them. 1t
is said that four or five of the children
can not possibly live, and that two
others, if their lives are spared, will be
cripples for life. Mr.. Padgett, the
father of the children, who was standing
near at the time of the explosion, was
struck, by portion of the shell, and
severely, though not dangerously
wounded. 1t is presumed that the shell
was thrown there at the time Morgan
crossed into Indiana, and that it has
laid in the woods ever since.
