OCEAN MINES, Mp, |
April 30. 1872 {

MEssRs EDITORS The Consolida-
ton Coal Company has placed loco.
motive engine at the Ocean Mines,
it being designed for drawing Coal
out of the Mine. 1t is now undergo
ing trial, and, so far, it has proved
effective in executing the work re-
quired of it. This means, I think, is
we'll calculated to save expense, as
we'll as atfording a firmer and more
substantial mode of bringing the coal
to the surface. This mine is under
the able management of Mr.. JAMES
B. THOMAS, of your place, who, with
his practical experience, has largely
increased the business and reputation
of the Company.
The Coal trade continues active
1t would be brisker if the operators
could obtain the necessary shipping,

The EARTHQUAKE UNDER GROUND
According to the reports, miners
who were working three hundred feet,
or more, under ground in Inyo county,
at the time of the great earthquake,
were entirely unconscious that there
had been the least physical distur-.
bance in that region 1t would seem,
from this fact, that the force was chief
ly expended on, or very near, the
surface of the earth.-&na EIunciSro

their congregations are enormous:
their discourses touch every variety

they are not fettered By the fear of
seeming personal, nor restrained by
regard to class. They can strike
right and left, where, if a minister did
the same thing, from pulpit, all
ewes would turn to the pew of the
transgressor If they do their work
we'll, they are great public bencfac-

View Of Mormon Women.

Mr.. Talmadge does not seem to have
been carried away with admiration of
the ladies he saw at Salt Make City.
He says:
Nothing impressed us more in Salt
Lake City than the LONELINESS OF the
women. 1t may be ungallant to men
tion it; but, as every one that goes
there thinks it, here goes the state
ment Of the fact. Now, homeliness of
feature is not always a disadvantage.
There is handsome ugliness and a
pious homeliness; but with these Nor
mon women it is a vicious and outrage
ous mcomelness, indicative Of moral
Disagreement The Tabernacle was
alive with them. They made me
shudder. 1t is assault and battery to
have them look at you. What Brig
ham or any other man should want Of
seventeen such looking creatures |
cannot imagine. One of them, l
should think, would be a great horror.
Such dislocation of noses, and displace
ment of mouths, and ruin Of eyebrows
are not gathered together in any other
place on this planet. There must be
a good many witches among them.
We would not have been much sur
prised to see them riding home on a
broomstick The only excuse we can
see for polvgamy is that it would take
at least fifty such women to make one
wife.

she looked very bent, aged, and feeble,

After her death her will was read,
one clause of which was as follows:
"To Nora Raynor ] bequeath the
sum Of forty thousand dollars, as a re-
ward for her good sense"

THE OLD HORSE. The old horse re-
quires more time to eat his meals and
rest his nerves. OF all animals, the
old horse is the worst abused. Al
though he has been our most faithful
and profitable servant, yet in his old
age the lash is applied to force out his
youthful vigor. The older he grows
the more he feels the lash. He is often
turned out of doors to give place to
the colts. Too often the neglect and
abuse he is subjected too, because he
is a little old, results in a greater loss
than is made up in the care for the
young horse. The last part of horses
life may be more profitable, if rightly
used, than the first part There is
more comfort and less danger in work
ing old horses. We understand them
and they understand us and we should
be as willing to conform to their ma
ture as they are to our wishes. 1t
would be more human as well as more
profitable, to use them as they should
be, as long as it would pay, and then
lake them out and shoot them down.
But the wicked practice is to knock
them about as much as they will bear
and pay well, and then trade them off
to some more inhuman wretch than
themselves. The old servant is gone
among strangers and he receives no
sympathy in his last extremities.
