GOSSIP ABOUT QUEEN VIoToRIA.--Rumor
has it that there is great GOODNESS between
Queen Victoria and her eldest daughter, the
Princess Royal OF Prussia. The latter is said
to have urged her mother to desist from her
purpose Of abdicatinng her crown and retiring
to Castle Rosenau, in Thuringia. Her sister
Alice, the Princess of Hesse-D armstadt, is said
to have added greatly to the estrangement
between her mother and her eldest sister, of
whom she is exceedingly jealous. 1t is even
believed that the Queen has made will, in
which she disinherits the Crown Princess of
Prussia, and leaves the bulk of her fortune to
the Princesses Alice, Helena and Louisa, be.
queathing only moderate sums to Wales,

SINGULAR CAsE,--A w,rrant was issued
y sierday for the arrest OF n woman named
Pheie Blair, charged with assault which in
tent to Kill. The only grounds on which the
charge is attempted TO be sustained are that
the woman claims to have power to exercise
all ills and perform miracles Among a Ger
t. in class ofthe population she il looked upon
MS II sort of demon. They fear her as they do
the pestilence. Some time since she fell ont
with family named Herten, and denounced
dir, woe upon their heads. As they live in
the same building, opportunities of meeting
are very frequent. For week. past she has
been preparing liquid substance which She
toid The family had in it the power of life and
death, and that she meant to work on them
terrible retribution with it. Incredible as
1t may seem. the foolish dupes believed it and
watched the old woman complete her decoc.
tlon with sentiments of the most poignant
dread A day or two since she got through
with the liquor, and yesterday rubbed the
uoor and doorstep of the house with the
preparation, saying at the same time that
In one week they would all be dead. Wild |
with terror the whole family fled the house |
as from pestilence. They have not been
back since; but yesterday procured a warrant
Tor the old woman's arrest. The case will
probably be tried to-day.-Ne,o Orleans Pscav

How MoRMoNIsM We'll PERrsH.-In q
country where women are not plentiful poly
gamy cannot long continue The doctrine of
supply and demand will regulate that the
same as in all other human affairs, TbetaX5
fOI the uvsstiI pUly SaIny IN CGin VIII De
found in the following figures:
The census returns of 1860 stated the white
population of Utah at that time to be 1924,
of whom 12,754, or little less than one
third, were Of foreign birth. Ofthese foreign
emigrahts, 1924 had come from Denmark,
1904 from England, 278 from Ireland, SAT
from British America, 157 from Norway, l.
22S from Scotland, 1876 from Sweden and 945
from Wales. OF the 27,490 American Nor
mons, 15,96S are reported to have been born
in the Territories, and they were evidently
nearly all children; for more than half the
population of. Utah consisted of minors less
than twenty years of age. tits probable that
at least one-half of the adult Mormons of1860
were of foreign birth, and that at present a
still larger proportion of Brigham Young's
subjects are of foreign origin. The division
of the sexes in 1860 was as follows: Males,
2O,17S; females, 19,947, and if a similar pro-
portion is maintained it will be impossible
to perpetuate polygamy by popular consent
for obvious reasons, especially il, as is proba-
BILE large male population is attracted to
Utah by the development of her mining in
terest.

MYSTERIOUS CATTLE DIsEAsE.-Consider-
able excitement was created at Pittsburg on
Sunday by the arrival there from Chicago
of a large number of cattle, all more or less
affected with the spanish" or Texas fever"
Sixty-four animals were found to have died
on the way, and after arrival there large
number, apparently in good condition, were
stricken with the disease and died. A dis
patch from Chicago says "There is con-
siderable excitement among the cattle sellers
and buyers in this city, in consequence of q
mysterious disease that has recently broken
out among beef cattle in the central part of
the State. Out of several lots by the Illinois
Central Railroad, and purchased and shipped
East seven head died on the cars between
here and Pittsburg. The dealers owning
them have telegraphed to the Union yards
here requesting the agents to buy no more
cattle. A general panic is occasioned among
the cattle men in consequence"

IA Patent Carriage Company, Limited"
has been formed at Birmingham, Eng, for
the purpose of bringing into use sundry novel
improvements. The frame work is of angle
iron, welded BY using this several inches
of space are saved, and added to the accom-
mediation. The panels, which in ordinary
cabs are of wood, in these new ones are Of
papier mache. The paper resembles leather,
but is sitter and very tough. Every part of
cab usually of wood, indeed, is in this in
stance made of paper. The springs are be-
meath the body, which brings the wheels five
inches nearer than in the ordinary vehicle,
and vet also gives additional room in the
width. The windows run along the roof on
the inside, and draw down like sash and
there is sash door, which may be pushed
down, and coils itself below the body of the
vehicle. The ventilation is also improved
One style of Handsome has top which slides
down, and thus an open carriage is provided.
The cost of vehicles is said to be consid-
cradle reduced by the new mode of construc-
ton.
A raft of "giant logs" recently fioated down
the Rhine for Holland, upon which were
houses, yards, and pens for CATTLE and pop
ulation of six hundred persons. 1t was 900
feet in length or thereabouts, and carried an
entire village. AT least five hundred men are
required to steer it safely through the rapids,
such as are met with under the Lurlle or
Bingen Lock This they do by means OF
long poles, which extend into the water, but
it is hard work, and requires both skilful
hand and practiced eye, as well as great

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS
The American newspapers, it is stated, have
paid during the last year, more than $4,000
for messages over the cable, while the Eng
fish journals during the same period, have ex-
pended only $1,000 for the news by the At
lantic wire from this country. An examina-
ton Of the columns of both classes Of news
papers explains the cause of this difference in
the payments. The English journals give
only the briefest mention ofhighly important
intelligence, while the American papers pub
lsh long dispatches on everything that may
interest their readers.
