rx1 e1xAr RACE AaA1nsr r1uE.

i Our streets presented . very livel.
appearance on Sunday, people beini
leathered from all this region rount
about to witness Faylor's great tim.
race. A special train came down from
Virginia City accompanied by band Of
music. There was an immense crowd
of spectators ~ the track. Taylor
started upon the performance of his feat
at IL o'clock and Is minutes amidst a
great excitement which increased with
the progress of the race. Taylor started
bis first horse in the usual direction for
racing, that is .agains, the sun )" but
in order that he nigh. not have to con-
sumo unnecessary time in dismounting
and emounting, the relay was held with
his head the other way, ready for start
in the other direction. This order of
things was maintained during the race.
The longest heat that any one of the
horses was run was two miles and
half, while some went one and half
miles, more or less, and some but a
single mile. Whenever a horse on
going around the track showed signs OF
giving out, Taylor was met with a fresh
horse. He showed remarkable agility
in mounting and dismounting and rode
with almos, unequalled grace and skill.
After riding about n half hour be came
past the stand with blood on his face
which. it is said, Came from one of his
lungs; but from what We have heard,
there are reasons for suspecting that one
of John Ro>ser's steers bled sooner and
worse than he did. Be this as it may,
Taylor rode with unparalleled pluck
aud won the race in l hour, So min tes
and SO seconds. This may be some
from the true time but We
have no doubt, judging from all the
evidence that has come to our ears that
he made his fifty miles inside the two
hours. Considering the stock he had to
rely upon-mostly :" short - stock-,he
race was a very extraordinary one, ex.
hibitng vast powers of endurance upon
the part Of the rider and no mean run.
ming qualities in the unframed horses
which he used. His best mile was
made in EOS; his worst in 2.49 aud
be made the last one in 2.l2. A good
heal of money changed hands and
even the losers seemed to think that
Johnny deserved to win some compensa-
ion for his pluck, skill and endurance.
!. P. Curtis, Billy Wilson and - were
he Judges. Faylor is matched to ride
no hundred miles in ten hours at
Jerome PARK, New York, on the 18th of
lay.

10 the Constitution requirements that
u person TO be eligible as Senator OF
the United States must be an inhabitant
of the State for which he is chosen, and
an inbabitant when elected. The cleo
SION in this Instance occurred on the 18th
Ct January, 1870 AT that time General
3 Ames was q military officer, stationed
10 Mississippi by order of the supreme
military authority, and was acting as
Provisional Governor by appointment
from General Nc Doweli.

nittes bis presence in these two char
Rcters did not constitute the requisite
legal residence, Notwithstanding his
declaration when consentiug to become
n candidate for the Senate, that he in
tended to leave the army and reside in
Mississippi; aud Notwithstanding his
subsequent resignation from the army,
which was accepted by the President
before signing the bill to admit the State.
1t is probable that General Ames will
return to Mississippi become an inhab-
liant thereof BY living there q day or
tso and be reelected. Col. Baker never
lived in Oregon-only passed through
there on stamping tour yet his char
ncter as an ''inhabi.ant" of that State
WAS never questioned.

How TO Take Life.

Take life just as though it was--as il is-an
earnest, vital, essential affair. Take 1t just AZ
though you personally were born TO the task
Of performing merry part in it--as though
the world had waited for yorr coming. Take
it as II it was grand opportunity TO do and
achieve; to carry forward great and good
schemes; to help and cheer suffering, weary,
il may be heartbroken brother.
The fact is life is undervalucd by great
majority of mankind. 1t is not made half as
much Of as should be the case. Where is the
man or woman who accomplisbes one titbe Of
what might be done7 Who cannot look back
upon opportunities lost, pl1rs unachieved,
thoughts crushed, aspiration, unfudlled, and
all caused by the lack Of the necessary ard
possible effort? If We knew better how 10
take and make the most u life, II would be faE
greater than il is. Now and then man siands
aside from the crowd, labors earnestly, stead
lastly, confidently, and straightway becomes
famous for greatness Of some sort. The world
wonders, aiiairos, ijolizes; yetit only ilius-
trates what each may DO II be takes bod Of l'ie
with purpose. If a man bat says be ru,
and follows il up, he may expect to accomplish
ANYTHING reasonable.

The Utah Bill.

The bill to punish polygamy in Utah, which
passed the House Wednesday, provides that
the Marshal of the Territory shall select the
grand and petit jurors, which will enable him
to take them from the anti-Mormon or Gentle
opuation-though the right Of challenge is
reserved to the accused 1u indictments for
concubinage, bigamy, &c, it is not neccs-
sary to prove the first or subsequent marri-
ages, but the accused's admission that he has
more than one wife, his acts recognizing them
as wives by introducing, treating, or deport-
ing himself toward them as such Is TO be re-
garded as sufficient evidence. After this bill
becomes law any man in Utah who shall
live with one woman or more, other than his
lawful wife, as wife or wives, shall be adjudged
guilty of the crime Of concubinage, and upon
conviction thereof shall be punished by fine
not exceeding one thousand dollars, and by
Imprisonment in the penitentiary at hard labor
not exceeding Eve years. In all prosecutions
the alleged concubines of the accused shall be
competent witnesses to establish or diSprove the
charge. Punishment for adultery is provided
for, and any person who practices polygamy
shall not be allowed to hold any federal Office.
The bill is full of details, but these are the
main points. A section directing the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to provide for such persons
as may be madedestitute, as superfuous wives,
&C., by the abolition of polygamy. was voted
down. The bill now goes to the Senate.

POETRY.
WHERE SHALL THE BABY'S DIM.
PIE BET

a
Over the cradle a mother hung,
Softly grooming slumber songs;
And these were the simple words she sung
All the evening longs;
"Chsek or chin, or knuckle or knee,
Where shall the baby's dimple bef
Where shall the angels finger rest
When he comes down to the baby's nest?
Where shall the angels touch remain
When he awakens my babe again." 49,
Still as she bent and sang so low, e .
A murmur into her music broke;
And she paused to hear, for she could but know
Tie baby's angel spoke:
"Cheek or chin, or knuckle or knee,
Where shall the baby's dimple be-
Where shall my finger fall and rest
When come down TO the baby's nest?
Where shall my fingers touch remain
When awaken your babe again y
Silent the mother sat, and dwelt
Long in the sweet delay OF choice
And then By her baby's side she knelt,
And sang with pleasant voice:
"Not ON the limb, o angel deari
For the charms with its youth will disappear |;
Not on the cheek shall the dimple be,
For the harboring smile will fade and flee;
But touch thou the chin with an impress deep,
And my baby the angels seal shall keep"

Congressional Compensation.

On the 10th of March, 1916, Congress pass
ed an act to change the mode Of compensation
to members:
That instead Of the daily compensation now
allowed by law, there shall be paid annually
to the senators, representatives, and delegates
from territories, of this and every future Con-
gress of the United States, the following sums,
respectively: that is to say, to the president Of
the Senate, pro tempore, when there is no vice
president, and to the speaker Of the House Of
Representatives, three thousand dollars each;
to each senator, member Of the house of repre-
sentatives, other than the speaker and delegate,
the sum of fifteen hundred dollars, [Lost
time to be deducted. The pay previously was
eight dollars per day, and eight dollars for
every twenty miles travel.
This act created quite commotion through
out the country. and many members who
voted for it failed to be reelected. Even Mr..
Clay's popularity was shaken by his vote for
it, And members made haste on the 9th Feb
ruary, 1917, to repeal, after the then present
session, tie unpopular act; and on the 22d
January. 1918, another act was passed, going
back to the old rate of eight dollars per day,
and eight dollars for every twenty miles travel
On the 10th August, 1856, the compensa-
ton OF members was raised to $4,000 per au-
mum, payable at the rate of $3.50 per month /;
mileage as heretofore; and on the 2sth July
1866, it was raised to $4,000 per annum-an
increase Of G6S per cent.
The Committee Of Appropriations Of the
House made magnificent display of economy
few days ago. they struck out an item of
S42O for laborer in one Of the Departments,
and some of the members talked glbly against
the compensation to clerks, but not word
was said about a reduction Of their own pay.
