| lore last, IN frequent succession, pouring tor

evening, seven men at the point in Sycamore
and Abigail streets to which is completed the
great sewer, which is really an uptown exten-
sion Of the big EgglcstOn avenue sewer Their
business is to clean the open end of that sewer

CURED TO them that by stirring the sediment at
the bottom of the sewer the water from the
showers would wash it away, and their work
would in this way be greatly expedited. After
a long cessation in the rain they went into
the sewer some distance and continued their
work. While SO engaged one of those heavy,
sudden showers which characterized the eve
ming came up and poured down its tremendous
streams. The first warning they had of their
peril was sudden rush Of waters upon them
carry the whole party off their feet. The four
men nearest the mouth Of the sewer escaped with
dllficulty, battling up stream against a powerful
current, the other three were carried down
toward the river by the galloping tide of defled
waters. Two OF them caught at a man-hole near
the canal and succeeded in making themselves
heard by their -four fortunate companions who
had escaped. They were drawn up to the solid
ground by these. But John Clark one of their
companions, was not so fortunate He con-
tinued to travel down to Court street, where he
made short turn and thence proceeded before
the every moment increasing volume of waters
TO Eggleston avenue sewer, where he
made turn to the right, whence il was a
straight road to the river. Mr.. Clark tells the
story himself He says he proceeded down in
the darkness, his back to the press of waters
and his face to their current. AS he could not
stand up, he put himself as nearly as possible in
a sitting position, and went down the stream
very much as boy slides down hill on a sled,
only Mr.. Clark had no sled. Coming to the
mouth of the sewer, where its waters discharge
into the Ohio river, he cried for help. Mr..
Lewis, who lives in a tenement wharf.boat at
that point, and who hires row-boats to parties,
heard his cries, came to his relief, and saved
him. Mr. Clark last night exhibited badly
torn pair of pants and pretty roughly bruised
body. He went through mile of sewer-C Gin

Iwenty-one miles southeast of Denver lies the
remains OF palm tree preserved in stone. 1t is
upon the hillside, looking down upon Cherry
creek, and hundred feet or more above the
level Of the valley of that stream. The soil is
similar to that OF most of the upland plain in
Colorado, and covered at present with a thick
crop OF grass and weeds Bunches of current
bushes, laden with fruit, cluster about the
1100deR rocks, and above, to the top of the
ridge and along Its crest, are soruhby young
pines and few large trees. At the foot of the
hill, three hundred yards TO the westward
passes the old stage road from Denver to Sante
Fe. The traveller, looking up, could see a ledge
or mass of rough looking rocks rising ten or
twelve feet above the surface of the ground and
about iolty feet in length. Camp fires have
been built against it, and Gampeas have doubt-
less sought shelter from storm or sun under its
projecting front, little dreaming that they re-
clined in the shadow of palm tree, The pu-
pills of school house near by have payed
about II many day. Last winter n hunter for
curious specimens stumbled upon il and guessed
its true character. Specimens were brought 10

AFRICAN GRAPPLE PLANT.-In the southern
parts of Africa there is a curious plant known
by the name of hook thorn, or grapple plant,
which is said to bear some resemblance to the
cutie fish. The large flowers of this truly hor-
rible plant are lovely purple hue. They spread
themselves over the ground, or hang in masses
from the trees and shrubs. The long branches
have sharped, barbed thorns, set in pairs
throughout their length. When the petals fall
off, and the seed vessels are developed and fully
ripe, the two sides separate widely from each
other, and form an array of sharp curved hooks.
Woe be to the traveller who ventures near at such
Il time! The English soldiers in the last Kaffr
wars suffered terribly from this plant. While
the Kaffir, unclothed and oily, escaped harmless,
the European was certain to be made and held
Il prisoner. Imagine one hooked thorn catching
a coat sleeve. The first movement at escape
bends the long, slender branches, and hook
after hook fixes its point into the clothing
Struggling on trebles the number of thorned
enemies, and there is no way of escape except 10
stand still, cut off the cinging seed vessels, and
remove them one by one.

In Salt Lake City, at the election on Monday
George Q. Cannon, church candidate, received
5114 votes and George K. Maxwell, opposition
536; Cannon's MAJORITY 257S In Cornne, a
Gentle town, and in some of the mining dis
trcts Maxwell ran better, but in the agrcultur-
al region the Mormon majority was larger in
proportion than that in Salt Lake city. The
official returns will undoubtedly show the Nor
mon vote TO be five times that Of the opposition;
therefore, admitting all of the Gentle vote to be
legal, and three-fiths of the Mormon votes to be
Illegal still Cannon would have two legal votes
TO MaXwelPS one. 1t is claimed that most OF
the MOrmons are of foreign birth, and that some
of them have never been legally naturalized.
This is undoubtedly true, but the num-
Der of native Americans is still large
enough to give the legal voters majority.
The Mormons have been quarter of a century
in Deseret, and thousands of them have lived
for many years in Illinois; so there are many
native children OF foreign-born parents who are
entitled TO vote, though the parents were never
naturalzed. The accessions to Mormonism
have mainly, OF late years, come from foreign
countries; but in the early history of the sect the
adherents were mostly of American birth. Prob
ably more than one-third of the present voters
are Americans by birth, so if there were not a
single legally naturalized Mormon in the terri
tory, still they would have a majority. But
there are thousands of them; and one of the
principal complaints made by the Gentiles dur
ing the past two years is that the MOrmons
10 not hesitate 10 peTlure themselves Wnen
questioned as TO their views on the
subject of polygamy, prior to their admis-
sion as citizens by the United States Judges.
This, Of itself, shows that many have been
naturalized; and if the records of the courts
were examined, it would probably appear that
there are comparatively few naturalized foreign
born Mormons who are known to have exer-
cised the right Of sutfragr. It4 is said that
Maxwell intends to contest the election of Can
non. If he does SO, it is quite evident that he
will do it, not for the purpose of securing jus
| tice not even in the reasonable hope of succeed
| ing, either justly or unjustly, but because he is
| willing to make use of an opportunity to spent
| few months at Washington, with the prospec
of being finally allowed mileage and per dieu
as contestant for a seat to which he has no right
| We would prefer to see Gentle, or at least
on-polygamous Mormon, in Congress, but hav
| no sympathy with forced contests at the nationa
expense. They have become great abuse.-lSd
