IHE Salt Lake Telegraph suggests a
convention, composed of delegations
nom the several Territories, to meet in
SAlt Lake City next summer, for the
purpose of making a united effort TO Sc
cure Territorial representation in Con-
sfess. There is nothing Objectionable
" The suggestion. but it is not likely TO
s'ef have realization. The people do
not ieel a sufficiently lively interest in
any question outside of partisanism TO

The billiardist Carme, who Is now in
New Orleans. places twelve balls in line,
and nearly touching each other, across one
end Of the table, and striking them one by
one in rapid. succession, sends them flying
around tho table, each ball going round
twice, so that nearly all of them are in mo-
tion at the same time, running hither and
thither over the table in different directions
crossing and recrossing each other so swift
ly as to bewilder the eye. and yet not one
touches the other, but each ball swinging
round in lis own particular orbit like the
stars, until at last all of them nestle loving
ly together in one corner Of the tab'e SO
that hat may cover them all. Another
shot of his is to place eight balls in SINH
lar position to that described above, and
make the m move between twelve bottles on
the table without touching either the bot
ties or each other.

INTERESTING TO HUSBANDS AND WIDOWS.
An interesting case has just BEEN decided
by the Supreme Court of Ohio. A.husband
died and willed al his property to his wife
so long as she remained his widow. In case
OF her contracting marriage, the property
was to revert to the children She did mar.
ry, and brought snit to recover her dowry.
The Court decided that her acceptance OF
the conditions imposed by the will was a
bar 10 any ,urther claims. She therefore
cannot live With her second husband and
draw her support from her first. Widows
will take note, and contest such wills in
season, if they are not quite sure that their
love undying and life OF widdowhood is
their choice.

From the NeU Odleans Tribune
A few days since, well dressed and
draper little person was seen to manifest q
very inquisitive interest in the mandatory
ofour enterprising young citizen Henry
Bonnabel, Esq. He inspected internally
with great care, and apparently made notes
with a pencil. Was he a purchaser or a
special artist detailed TO present to the
public view Of the mandatory of the bi-
sulphate Of lime? Very soon this observant
visitor met the active proprietor, who was
engaged with some other gentlemen in max
ing some change in his business arrange
menis. With all the dignity of new clothes,
the visitor presented his card, the Hon. c.
Sneakem, detective extraordinary in the
ser rice of the internal revenue.
"AllOw me TO inquire" asked be of Mr..
Bonuabel, ''are these whisky barrels?'
''They are sir"
'Will you allow me to see your sreceipt
fol- the mandatory Of this whisky.
IL never made u gallon"
"Then this is not distillery?" observed
the detective, with slight shade of disap-
pointment.
"No sir. 1t iss manufactery of sulpbate
Of lme."
"Allow mo to inquire sir, what is sui
phate Of limr?" Asked the detective.
"It is chemical preparation of lime,
used by sugar planters to promote the gran
ulation and purity OF sugar.
The detective was not to be thus thrown
oif the track OF u rich forfeiture. This bi-
sulphate was CANNON. 1t could not TOOL a
New Yorker.
"Will you,' persisted he, ''permit me to
have one OF these barrels opened.'
"Here Owen!' sung out MIR. Bonnabel,
''knock the bung out Of q barrel This gen
tleman says we are mauufaclur ng whisky
without paying license"
Owen was indignant that a '.thafe of qua
ger' should have crossed over from Ireland
to prosecute honest people; So he struck u
barrel sucl a vehem-nt thunp that the
bnng bouuced out, and the detective thrust
his official nuse into the opening. The ef-
feet of the pent-up snlphuric vapor on the
proboscus, lungs, and eyes Of tire oapper
gentleman from New York was alike sudden
and conclusive. He tunibed over like q
bedbug exposed to corrosive sublime. l,

THANKSGIVING DAY.-To-morrow is tho
day set apart by the President of the Uni
ted States, and by the Governors of the res.
pective States as q day of general thanks
giving for the blessings Of the year The
harves,s are bountilu,3 the "graner:e3 are
full, and the business pursuits of the year
have been successful. We have reason to
give thanks TO an All-wise Crea: or for His
bountiiul sunshine, and Christian land
like ours is ever grateful to a kind Provi-
dence for lis wealth and prospects. Those
who gather around the " feass Of feasts' on
the morrow should not forget to whom they
are indebted for the board of plenty before
them, as the blessings OF success Il gov
eminent, . piosp perOus year and 6 bright
future, are attributable alone to " Him
who doeth all things well.' Let us give
thanks, lot us rejoice, let us be glad that
our efforts have been crowned with success.
and that the year closes with blessings in
Vulnerable. The harbingers Of comm &
spring will soon be upon us, and in the mpa n.
time pleasures of the winter months will not
be forgo.to but improved. For all the Sc
blessings We are indebted to the Ruler OF
the Universe, and as is the common custom
of the nation Tomorrow we give thanks for
these blessings.
1t is sacred day, ,one which should be oh
served in a becoming manner. but in our
rejoicings let us not forget the poor. Re
member that while We enjoy all the festvi-
ties of the season there are those in our
midst who are destitute of these privileges.
but still a glimmer of hope arises in their
hearts that at some time they too may en-
joy the blessings we celebrate on Thanks
giving Day.

White Pipe-A Biz Rush for the New Dor
ndo In Prospect-A Word Of Caution.

Notwithstanding the reports of intense
cold and consequent sickness and ,uf.
ferihg at White Pine, and the fact that
the country now being covered with
snow no more prospecting can be done
in that district for some months to
come, the White Pine fever has broken
out afresh within a few days in San
Francisco, and we hear of any number
of people, mostly business men repre-
senting capital, preparing to start for
Silverado within the next three weeks.
We have exhausted our patience in eau.
~tioning people against this rush at this
time, but for the sake of sparing our
friends from loss, disappointment and
great Inconvenience and possible suffer-
ing, must once more protest against It.
1t will be time enough after the snow
begins to melt in that high, bleak local
ity, for our people to rush over the
mountains and into tho mines. The
accommodations for boarding and lodg-
ing at White Pine must be already taxed
to the utmost, and they cannot be
greatly increased until the snow goes
off. The amount of money which will
be required to keep one in even tolera-
bic comfort for the next sixty days in
the new mines, would be sufficient to
give him quite a little stake when tho
weather is such Ms to allow o%f-prospect-
ing or outdoor work being resumed.
| Those who leave comfortable homes in
| San Francisco to hibernate in a tent
pitched in n snow drift, with frozen
ground for a floor, for the next two
months, will be very likely to wish they
had restrained their impatiencc and re.
manned here. When the spring opens
in White Pine VIC shall know it in San
Francisco within "a hours, and all who
wish can then 60 and try their luck.
The developments in the White Pine
District fully justify the present excite
ment, but nothing will justify a rush
there at this particular time. We do
not wish to underrate the immense i'm
portauce of tho new discoveries, nor
discourage anybody from going to the
now mines, but they should not 60 now.
Hasten slowly 3" Is good advice to take
at this tines. f.. Alta, 1871.
