One Hercules Ellis, of Dublin, must be
an exceedingly cheerful companion. His
chief amusement, apparently, is in direct
ing attention to the subject of the ultimate
destruction Of the earth, and he has, Of
course, a startling theory ofhis own, which
happily for Us, however, it will take many
thousands of years to work out He tells
Us that this earth IS destined in its turn
to take the place of the sun In the solar
system. The sun Is slowly burning away
and melting into gases. As these cool
down there will be winter in the sun, and
our globe will supply the missing heat.
Commencing at the equator an increasing
fire viii difuse itself over the whole earth,
scorching up life and vegetation, and melt
inc the earth's crust into a gasOsphere.
Throughout this period the moon, which is
now an an ice, bound planet, will bask in
vivifying rays. and enjoy the genial warmth
which at present belongs to US, Gradually
our globe will once more cool down, but
unless larger faculty of accommodation
to altered circumstances shall have taken
place, animal life viii be represented solely
by a race of salamanders." In order TO
prove disposition Mr.. Ellis bids Us observe
how even now Mercury Is burning and
Mars is passing from the red into the
white stage of incandeScence !; the sun is
in flames, and the earth becoming sensibly
warmer every year This discIoses rather
an unpleasant future for millions yet un-
born

SALT LAKE ITEMS.

SALT LAKE CITY, September 49,
The Tribune Publishing Company
has been incorporated, with a capital
of $1,000, divided into IL shares of
81 600 each. 1t is :the Daily and
Weekly Tribune, the organ of the So
called Mormon Reformers, or Godbe-
ties.
The United States Grand Jury for
Judge McKean's Court was impan-
nelled to-day. 1t is composed of about
half Gentiles and half Mormons;
among the latter are George q. Can
non, James Il. Townsend and II. Il.
Clawson.
Much interest is manifested in the
movement here to aid the sufferers by
the Phoebe fire.
The Hawkins adultery case, grow
ing out of ~polygamy, will be presented
to the Grand Jury impannelled to-
day.
The three prominent Mormons
summoned-Caunon, of the Deseret
News, Townsend, of the Townsend
House, and Clawson, son-in-law of
Brigham Young-declared under oath
that they did not believe a man in po-
lygamy guilty of adultery, and being
challenged, Chief Justice Mexican re-
jected them as jurors. The question
TO Cannon. how he would decide i'll an
issue involving the tenet of pOlygamy
As part of his religion versus the laws
OF Congress, was answered that 1t
wouI be time enough to decide when
the issue was presented.

BOLD DEsERTIoS.-The Vallejo Re
corder of September 18th, has this ac-
count of a bold and successful deser-
ton of seamen:
One of the boldest and most daring
attempts at desertion occurred in our
waters yesterday. Only a few days
ago a boat crew from the California
stole away, after night, but yesterday
eight men, in broad daylight, success
fully jumped into a sail boat and es-
capped, with a swift cutter in pursuit.
The plan had been pre-arranged, two
men obtaining permission 10 go on
shore, Jumped into a sail boat and
fastened back to the ship. Their COM
panlons were on the lookout, n as
she neared the ships side six stalwart
fellows leaped down the companion
way ladder into the skiif, near sinking
it. Bear a hand now boys, up sail and
safely! The alarm was soon given,
and a we'll manned cutter started in
hot pursuit. The race was for liberty
or imprisonment with the runaways,
and every inch of IN vas spread.
They are gaining; double-bank your
oars cried the leader, land we will
beat them YETI" She sped like the
wind, and they run her ashore at the
nearest point, and had scrambled out
OF sight before the heavy cutter could
make a landing.

NEW CENSUS AND PATENT LAWS

NEW CENSUS n PATENT LAWS
We are indebted to Mum * Co, pub
fishers of the Scientific American, New
York, for a neat little bound volume
of 10 pages. entitled Is above. 1t
contains the complete census of 1870,
showing the population, by counties,
of all the States and Territories, with
their reas, and the population of the
principal cities. Also, the new Patent
Laws in full, with forms, official rules,
directions how to obtain Patents, copy
rights, regulations for trademarks,
assignments, how to obtain Patents,
etc. Also, a large variety of valuable
information relating to water-wheels,
steam-engines, and other mechanism,
with many useful tables and recipes.
We advise everybody to send for it as
above. Price, 25 cents. \ more val
liable compendium, for SO small a

FEDERAL D~EFALCATIONS.

A d%efalcation of over a million hav-
ing just been discovered in Washing

Postoffice ofNew York, the New York
Express very %pertinently enquiries:
What are those engaged in exposing
the City Hall records and wickedness
going to do about it? Will they call a
meeting at the Academy Of Music, h
Exchange or Chamber of Commerce?
Will they appoint a committee of
citizens to wait upon the President?
Will they investigate and expose the
ways and means of these high crimes
and misdemeanors? Or will they be
silent over Federal wrongs, and de-
mandatory and reformatory only over
local abuses? 1t is clean, clear work
which IS wanted nOw-no ~partisanship
~favors, no partiality-hut the vindica-
ton everywhere of what is right and
honest. These numberless official
wrongs, coming one upon another, are
most startling, and beyond common
medicine. Between the honesty OF
official and private service, as a law,
there seems t be a worldwide differ
ence, and with every party the rule
seems to be lax and Indifferent
where public service is concerned.
The exceptions, of course, are very
many and most honorable, but the
sad fact remains. Ii would at least
seem desirable TO place on all sides
political delinquencies, where public
money is concerned. in the same
category with personal delinquencies
in private life. In the case of the
latest and worst d~efalcatlon, the lead
ing complainant against the city does
not even consent to notice it, though
published last night, and the culprit
publicaliy arrested in Washington.
As we have often said, it is not reform
these people want, but power.

THE BLACK PINE MiNEs.-A cores
pendent of the Coril.la Reporter,
writing from these mines, l5cated in
the northeastern portion of this State,
says:
The Black Pine mines, directly
north of us, are again attracting con-
siderable attention, owing to a sale
which was made last week by Doc.
Rice and Nichols. to a Mr.. Johnson
and associates, for $50, 000-Sl2,500 be-
ing paid down and the balance in in
stallments. The new proprietors, said
to be English capitalists, have sent a
large force of men to work the mine,
and soon we expect to see heavy ship
ments of ore for reduction, to your
place and elsewhere. F%reighting Is
now very lively here, the warehouses
being full, and laden cars standing on
the track, but the teams are scarce,
and not equal to the demand. If you
have any surplus wagons, send them
along.

APPLYING II CAREER RULE
Justice CARRIER, of the Supreme Court,
last Winter rendered an opinion-his
first opinion, We believe-to the effect
that a litigant must not take a drink
with a juryman, single-handed, I'M
less the juryman pays or the twain
"spar the bar keep"-or, i'll other
words, that the litigant must not treat
the juryman. \ case was sent back
because a iuryman did get a drink
that way. We thought it a little puri-
~tanical, for so thoroughbred a Demo-
crat and so social a fellow as CARRIER;
but excused him, on the ground that he
knew he had to do something, in the
way of putting off his humanity, and
had undertaken to model after Rod
gers statue of 'Justice' in stone.
But Judge Beatty raises CARRIER a
little, in hisdisposition ofthe Sunbeam
and Burning Moscow case; he grants
a new trial because the County
veyor. who was employed by one party
in the case, treated three cold jurymen
on returning in a sleigh from an ex-
animation OF the mine. We like these
projections against corruption; even
if it is a little rough on cold and
thirsty iurymen.-lWhite Pine News.

A LITERARY FRAUD.-The National

A LITERARY FRAUD.-The National
Democratic Central Committee recent
" called attention to a pamphlet enti-
tied "How the Lost Cause may be
Regained, and the Independence of
the South Secured" The Committee
denounced the work as a forgery. We
have received a copy, and find that
the pamphlet bears internal evidences
of the fraud sought to be foisted upon
people not posted, and innocent of the
crooked ways of inscriptions parti-
sans. 1t pretended to be the work OF
a writer devoted exclusively to the
interests of the South, but evidently
was written by some unknown RadI-
cal, for the purpose of creating the
impression, particularly in the coun-
try districts, that the people of the
South are yet seeking out methods for
achieving their independence. 1t is
written for political purposes to I'M
pose upon the ignorant, and keepalive
Radical vindictivenesS. 1t is clearly
4 fraud. gotten up by some ingenious
Radical. in the interest of the Radical
party, and i'll no way represents the

1t was sent TO a jeweler East, who
sends back the cheering news that it
is a genuine diamond of the first
water, and very valuable. MIR. Cook,
a Yankton jeweler, says that it is
worth $780, 600. 1t is claimed that
other diamonds have since been found.

Another Heavy Fraud on tho Gov.
ePnment.

From Washington the New York
Tribune has an unsavory story about
the sales Of seized rebel cotton by the
government at the close OF the war
Investigations disclose the fact that
some Of the New York agents for the
sale OF this cotton were in collusion
with purchasers, and manipulated the
samples 80 as to sell property for about
one-thirl it's value The particulars as
stated are:
"The government realized from the
sale about thirty million Of dollars, but
the examinations Of the government
agents books and other evidence, which
has been obtained through the prosecu-
ton of these claims, reveals the fact
that the cotton was worth over twice
that amount. 1t appears that some Of
the agents at New York disposed of the
cotton at twenty-nine cents pound,
when it's market value at the time OF
the sales was seventy-fve cents per
pound. Some OF the agents appear to
have been in collusion with the pur-
chasers, and the poorest kinds of cotton
we're shown as samples of the entire
lot held by the government, the bidders
getting it by this arrangement at the
ow figure of 90 cents per pound, and
subsequently selling it at the market
price, thereby securing q handsome
profit. The claimants, however, refuse
