An E~srERPRIsIyG School Boy IN
GEogGlA.-Therc is a lI.year old boy
living in y county below MS, who has
t~wenty-onc acres planted in cotton. He
hired one man early in the spring, pre-
pared the land and bought about 500
worth of guauo and put upon it. After
getting it planted he started to school,
which he has regularly attended during
the summer, with the exception OF
about two weeks, which his crop re-
quired. lie works an hour or two every
morning, in the afternoon and every
Saturday. His cotton is looking very
fine, and he expects to get at least ff-
teen bales of the twenty-onc acres.
Estimating each bale at 500 pounds, and
that he will get % cents per pound, the
gross receipts will be Sl,s75. His en-
tire expense, including the guano, will
not be over $500-which will leave
1875 rs the net earnings Of this school
boy. Give him the benefit of every
doubt, and he will surely make $1,000
clear. We commend this to young men
mourning over their fate, complaining
that they can get nothing to do, and
can make no money.-.NaeOn (G0.)

BAD BLOOD AT WHITE Pine. - The
new district of White Pine promises to
be a prolific source Of litigation if not
of bloodshed. The people of that dis
trict appear to be divided into two
factions: the first composing the original
locators Of the mines and their friends,
and the second the later arrivals or
Jumpers, MS they arc called by their OPP
p%onents. OF the merits of either cnse
we are unable to give any opinion; but
the fact exists that n state Of feeling
has developed itself there which, if not
vigorously checked by the authorities
on the first manifestations Of violence,
will undoubtedly end in personal con-
nicts without number. Threats Of per-
sonal violence are as common there as
polite s%alutations in u we'll ordered
community. We know that the officers
Of the law are wide awake to this state
of affairs, and that uncommon vigilance
is exercised by them, and trust they
will succeed in preventing any violence.

MORE MoSsTERs.-We have received
o communication, over the signature of
Henry Walker, Of Lehi, concerning some
moro monsters Of the snake family.
That they exist in Utah Lake seems TO
be attested by credible witnesses, and
various stories have been current con-
corning them for years. Here is the
account which he gives
Some three or four years ago, Bro.
Isaac Fox was bunting along the Lake,
south of Lehi, and when about u mile
and O half east Of tho head Of Jordan,
while creeping around a point Of rushcs
10 the water to get q shot at some geese,
he heard q noise, and looking eastward
he saw what he supposed at the first
glance was IN animal, but he soon dis
covered it looked like n snake. He
made for the shore, and it followed,
until il came within two rods of him.
He said its head was like n ~greyhouud's,
and its eyes were deep, black and pierre
ing. 1t turned and swan across the
Lake, and was soon followed by another
of q darker color than the first. They
seemed about twenty-five or thirty feet
long, and swan straight in the water,
faster than q man could run.
About q year a%fterward, n boy, son to
Cauutc Peterson, saw similar creatures
about q quarter Of n mile cas-. Of the
place where they had been seen before.
Two years ago u white man and an In
dian had been moving about half a
mile east Of where Mr.. Peterson's boy
had seen these "snakes." They had

ing, and were searching for more. They
had o dog with them, and hearing n
splashing, they went down into the
rushes, near the water, supposing it vas
the dog after something, when n crea-
ture raised itself up, some three rods
off from them, and looked them full in
the face. The Indian ran away, and
the other went up on the ridge about
two rods, and turned and looked at it.
He said its head was q foot across, and
shaped like n g~reyhound's, and it had
the wickedest looking black eyes he
had ever seen il darted its tongue out,
was red and forkcd. The color
of the "snako" was a deep yellow with
black spots.
These make q character for Utah

riyaling those in Bear Lake. One thing
noteworthy in regard 10 both

THE result of the State election held
in Vermont, on the lst instant, so far as
heard from, is more favorable to the
Republicans than was anticipated. Par
tiai returns, received up to the morning
of the I'd, indicated q Republican ma.
jority of 1900, which some stretched
as high rs 10000. Tho majority last
year was but 2O,ls4. The vote this
year appears to be the largest cast in
the State for o number Of years. The
New York papers generally concur in
the opinion that the Vermont election
is not only a great victory, but an indi-
cation of Grants popularity and the
coming failure Of the rebel Democracy
ut the November election. The World
says the Democrats allowed the election
to 20 by default, but that is manifestly
untrue, since the vote is about tho
largest aver cast in the Statc.-!Sae.

An amusing caricature has just been
issued by a Nassau street house. It
represents Grant in the dress Of a work
ing tanner, engaged at his trade. On
one side stand Lee and Johnston, bear
ing certificates to the effect that he has
already thoroughly tanned their hides.
On the other side Hoffman, in the garb
Of m Indian sachem, is bringing two
new candidates for tanning-Seymour
and Blair-whom Grant promises to tan
thoroughly in November. The best
point Of the picture is a portrait OF
Blair in an exaggerated military dress,
huge epaule,tes and rampant spurs,
up recruits for tho next war.
