What the Mayor Says Of the Firing Of the

Wednesday-iInve We Hiot Acts
From the Evening Telegram.l
A reporter OF the ErtnHg Teiclpan, had an inter-
view with the Mayor IN his private oillce to-day
Saturday. at the City Hall, on the now al-absorb
ing topics-frsiIy, to whether the military acted
hastily and illegally on Wednesday last; secondly
whether it was the law OF the State of New York. or
the invariable custom, when such emergencies took
place in this city, to warn the rioters Of the danger
they stood IN before yollcy OF bullets was poured
IN among them; thirdly whether IL was necessary
and legal To read riot act; and lastly, IN case the
seldiery fired, whether It IS not tie law OF the State
or the invariable custom in New YORK, to fire first
with blank cartridges, In order give the mob fair
warning nat they stand In great danger The fol-
lowing conversation took place.
REPORrER-Mr. Han, have been commissioned
by The editor OF the FL ming 1ttt gram to ask you
one two questions with regard to the firing OF the
National Guards on "Wednesday last.
Mayor shall be very happy, sir, to give you
any information, but don't see now can give you

MAYOR-There is no such thinE as riot act IN
this country, In the sense IN winch you use the
term. That is an error Of the public. This Is most
importan. point, and trust you Will quote Inc accu-

The reporter having assured him that he need
have no arpiehensions on that head the Mayor
added

UTAH.-A Salt Lake dispatch Of Saturday
says: Secretary and Acting Governor George
A. Black issued proclamation this morning
forbidding mustcrs, parties, or gathering OF the
militia of Utah, or of armed persons within the
territory, except by the governors orders or by
the order of the United States marshal in case
posse cOmitdtUs is required to enforce the or
der of the courts This proclamation has been
issued in view Of certain orders by Daniel II.
Wells, calling himself lieutenant general. The
office is not recognized by the government which
orders out three companies OF. infantry, one OF
artillery and one of cavalry, ostensibly to par
ticipate in the Mormon procession on the 4th of
July. Gen. Wells usurps the power in ordering
the militia, since Gov. Shaffer appointed Gen.
Common commander of the militia, and the as
sembliEg of troops is in direct violation of the
order of Gov. Shaffer, which has never been
countermanded The attempt is made in order
to maintain the organization of the Nauvoo le-
giou outside Of the control of the governor of the
territory. Wells is lieutenant general Of this le-
zion, but pretends to order out the troops as
lieutenant general of the militia. H. B. Claw
son, who signs the order as adjutant general, is
not recognized by the government. He dates
his order from the adiutant generals office Of
Utah territory. Gov. Shaffer has appointed Col.
Johns, adjutant general and he alone can exc
cute the duties of office. 1t is generally believed
that the Mormons will not attempt to carry out
their scheme in the face of the proclamation. If
they do, the laws will be enforced and trouble
may ensue.

WORCESTER
MONDAY, JULY q, 1871.


We notice that there are sundry gentlemen in
the state whose friends think it contrary to
usage for any man to hold the Office of governor
longer than three years. The method by which
they endea,o to establish this rule is not given
Probably the only reason for it is that the gen.
temen in question, or some Of them, want the
office. This is not sir, certainly; nor is it a
sufficient reason for adopting the rule they pro-
pose without warrant in the name Of usage.
Twenty-three different gentlemen have held the
office OF governor of this state since 1880.
Seven of them held the Office one year without
reelection; there were six terms of two years !;
four of three years each; two of four years; two
of five years; one of six years; three of seven
years; and one of 1fine years. Governors Han
cock, Strong, Morton and Davis had each two
terms of Office.
The proposed three year rule has no en-
couragement from this record. In most cases
the length of the term has been determined by
special reasons. Sometimes the gentleman
holding the office has positively refused a re-
election; sometimes his party has failed to get
votes enough to re-elect him, as in the ease of
each Of the two terms of Governor Morton. In
some cases there may have been general disn-
cination to re-elect man, not because he had
held the Office given number of years, but be-
cause his proceedings in Office were disliked
Only four terms of three years each ont of
twenty-six preceding that of Governor Clafin,
do not establish the rule talked of, nor even
suggest it. Governor Lincoln held the office
nine years. Governors Brooks and Briggs held
it seven years. Governor Hancock had two
terms, one of five years, the other of six.
Governor Strong had two terms, one of seven
years the other of four. Governor Andrew
held the Office five years.
If Governor Claflin will accept the office for
another term, there is no reason why he should
not be reelected. His administration of the office
has been successful. He stands higher in pub
icestimation than when he was first nominated;
and he deserves this favor of public opinion.
We hope he will have several more terms of
Office. We have no doubt that a considerable
number of gentlemen can be found in the state,
who would accept a nomination; but we see
nothing to indicate that any considerable num-
Der of the republicans are ready to put any other
man in Governor ClaAin's place. At the proper
time, they will select his successor. When the
time for a change shall come, we hope they will
select the best man without regard TO the ankle
ties and aspirations of those who are now seek
ing to have it established as rule that no
man shall hold the office more than three years.

How ARAB LADIES PERFUME THEMSELVES.
How the Arab ladies perfume themselves is thus
described by Sir Samuel Baker in his work on
the Nile:
"In the floor of the hut or tent, as it may
chance to be, small hole is excavated suffi-
GENTLY large to contain champagne bottle. A
fire of charcoal or simply glowing embers is
made within the hole, into which the woman
about to be scented throws handful of drugs
She then takes off the clothes or robe which
forms her dress, and crouches naked over the
fumes, while she arranges her robe to fall as
mantle from her neck to the ground like a tent
She now begins to perSpire freely in the hot-air
bath, and the pores of the skin being open and
moist, the volatile oil from the smoke of the
burning perfumes is Immediately absorbed. By
the time the fire has expired, the scenting pro-
cess is completed, and both her person and her
robe are redolent of incense, with which they
are so thoroughly mpregnated that | have fire.
quently smelt party of women strongly at full
a hundred yards distance, when the wind has
been blowing from their direction. This scent,
which is supposed TO very attractive to gentle
men, is composed of ginger, cloves, cinnamon,
frankincense and myrrh, a species of seaweed
brought from the Red Sea- and lastly, the horny
disc which covers the aperture when the she'll
fish withdraws itself within its SHE'LL The pro.
portion of these ingredients in this mixture are
according to taste"

DOING WITHOUT FENCEs.-In the little vii
lage of South Manchester there has been going
on for some years an experiment in doing with
out street fences, which would make the village
paying investment for the county, or state,
say, if it had no other purpose or end in view
than TO demonstrate that such barriers are but
a useless and expensive encumbrance The
fences were banished from the centre Of the viii
lage first Now there isn't gate to swing on
along the whole main thoroughfare. Side
street and lanes followed suit, and the DISPOSE
ton to live in park is spreading into the sur
rounding country. Old farmers have caught
the idea, and no one knows where it will stop.
If anybody wants to buy some nice strings of
pickets and posts, cheap-I should say the
skirts of that village would be the place to find
'em. People who are thinking of investing
money in a front fence would do well to run
into THAT village upon the cars. If they don't
trade for secondhand fencing, they might 90
home with an impression that neither second
hand or new street fences are necessary for the
prosperity of a village or the comfort OF its in
habitants. agricultural Contributor Of Hart

ABOUT JUPITER.-The planet Jupiter has
been experiencing lately some changes of visage
which are puzzling the astronomers. The sur
face Of the disk is variegated with colored
bands the nature of which has been long sub
jecl of study. The colors and forms are now
changing in an unusual way, showing that
there are some movements of grand charac-
ter, perhaps somewhat similar to those that
have been attracting so much attention in the
sun. This new phase of jovial existence may
that great planet. In the journal of Science of
New Haven, Miss Mitchell, Of Vassar college,
gives record of some observations made by
her in the winter of 1901, which are interest
ing in this connection. AT that time, she SAYS,
the rosy tint of the equatorial belt was less
marked than in the preceding year, the dark
spots were less decided, and the white spots
more numerous. She says that in watching
the changes Of Jupiter's bright, cloudy belts, or
of its dark bands, one is continually reminded
of the changes in the suns photosphere The
variations are less, and yet an interval of half
an hour shows differing relations. The first
satellite she has never seen to enter upon or
leave the disk of Jupiter other than as white
circular object; yet in the center she has
either lost it or il has changed in shape or
color, becoming elongated toward the polar
regions and assuming a reddish-brown hue.
The impression made on the observer is that of
the lnterpostion of some medium through
which 1t is seen dim and distorted" In other
words this would seem TO be some sort of at
mosphere Of the planet within which it passes,
or some exterior envelope behind which it is
obscured
