Grant.

Why should Republicans support
Grant ? Not, certainly, from motives
of generosity, for the highest office in
the land he has enjoyed already, and
has received his full reward. He
obtained his education at his country's
expense, spent the best portion Of his
life as a citizen attending to his per-
sonal affairs, and signally failed-if
lack of wealth for which he labored
can be called a failure-then gave
four years service to his country, for
which he has received fame aud wealth,
and the highest rank and Office that
his country can bestow. No man in
the 10Th century has been as well paid
for his services rs has Grant But
for bis eountry's gifts lie void to-day
probably have been asserting pelts and

rented tannery in Galena; lis chill

summer saults on the tan bark Of the

king and queens and associate with the
sons and daughters of royalty in
Europe. One is the honored guest of
the Gar Of Russia and another sits
at the private table of England's
Queen. Truly it is fairy tale-the
story of this mans fortune. What
further does he merit from the hands
of the party who have him these
things? The Republican party made
him President four years ago because
he was available. He had then only
voted once, and then for Democrat.
He was negative man in politics, and
his administration has been CORES
pondingly negative, save in those
things that rebound to his own selfish
interest. He has made more money
than any other President, and has loan
more to ruin the party that elected
him than any other President partly
from ignorance, but mainly through
personal ambition. His policy has
driven the party that elected him
asunder, and made enemies. of those
who had before been as brothers. The
men who protected and nursed the
party in its infancy, watched its growth
and led ii to victory, have turned
away in disgust from this man who
has brought upon it shame and dis
grace.

A LOafing Rooster.

The Mcdonald boys found, the other
day, there was a rooster on their farm
that was useless. He just loafed
around, and didn't lay any eggs, and
wouldn't even help about taking care
of the horses. In fact, it cost just as
much to keep that rooster as it did
one that was earning its living. Char
ley and Jennings held a council of
war, aud concluded to STAY the rooster.
They took Smith & Wesson revol-
yer and an oyster can full of cartridges.
and penned the rooster up inside a
high board fence, and at one o'clock
gave him notice to lay down his arms,
or they would move on his works at
once. The rooster put his thumb to
his nose and told them as plain as he
could they would have to walk over
his dead body first. At this they be-
came mad, and the cannonading CON-
menced. They shot at him about
forty times to get range, and then
began to shoot at his vital parts. The
rooster walked around the yard and
snatched for angle-worms, as though
it was the least of his trouble what
they were shooting at. The boys
took turns killing the rooster until
two o'clock when ammunition gave
out and they sent for another box Of
cartridges.
At this point the attacking party
moved nearer, and opened on tho
rooster. The rooster didn't care how
near they got. There was nothing
mean about him. Occasionally the
rooster would see where ball struck
the fence, and he would get opposite
the hole, but even with that advantage
they couldn't hit him. The boys shot
at that rooster until about four o'clock
when the revolver got SO hot they
couldn't use it. The fence was as
full Of holes as one Of those war vet
Grams, but the rooster, o! where was
he? He was taking his accustomed
anglc-worm with as good an appetite
as ever lie had in his life. Exasperated
at last, Jennings crept up to the
rooster and took a rest across the long
feathers of his tail, and fred at his
head. The ROSTERS head dropped
on the ground, and it was all over
with the anglc-worm he wss after, but
thu rooster was uohurt. Charley

The practice of "crimping," that
is, deooying sailors into the marine
service, is made regular business at
Quebec and is assuming such pro-
portions that the papers are seeking
to reform it. Although it is present a
crime before the courts, the judges
have power only to fine, and none to
enforce the payment of tho fine, a
condition of things which makes
rails farcical.

SALT LAKE IrfMs.
From the News OF June ls.h.l

This morning two Cinnamon eutercd
into an alteration on Second South
street. about some financial matter,
when one Of them drew q double
sword, having two formidable blades
,bout twenty inches long, with which
nc cit a deep cash in the side Of the
Others head and neck. The wound
passed downward and inward. par.
tially dividing the sterno-mastoid mus
lie, and came very near exposing the
external carotid artery. The cash was
seven inches In length, and required
twenty sutures to bring the parts In
opposition, and when closed by the
surgeon, DIR. Grain, It could hardly be
distinguished from the sound ear. The
wounded man was attended to by DR..
5. f. Grain. The Chinaman who did
che slashing was arrested, and awaits
EXAMINATION before Justice Clinton.
From the appearance Of the weapon,
or rather weapons used. which we
AVE seen, we should judge him to be
crossword man.
From the Herald OF Wednesday,
We saw yesterday, not the army
worm, but an army OF worms, eight
hundred and t~wenty-three rank and
lille, OF which DIR. Van Denbergh had
relieved o. A. Amy, a young man who
looked after the relief as II he had
never enjoyed the acquaintance Of
more than a single worm at a time,
md It Mt the end Of a fishing line.
After examining the unpleasant look
ing lot, We CAME to the conclusion that
Or. Van Denbergh Is great OH worms.
Yesterday two nice little silver bricks
were offered ut the First National
Bank for sale. They were from the
Miners Mill, an arastra In East CAN
yon. The largest, which was worth
1890, was .9Sj fine, while the smaller
me was .97S fine, aud worth $s3. They
were handsome chunks, and with
enough Of them one could pave u rather
NICE looking sidewalk.
Up to yesterday evening the body
Of Arthur BrouShten, the unfortunate
young man who was drowned in the
Jordan OH Sunday. had not been dis
covered. Search has been continued
since Monday morning, and tho river
dragged, but without success. Mr..
Broughton was twenty-one years old,
instead Of nineteen, as published.
. Yesterday rs the south-bound train
Of the Utah Southern was proceeding
to Sandy, Il car loaded with charcoal
by some means got on fire, which was
discovered after 1t had burned for some
time. The train was stopped and the

that part of the charcoal and a portion
Of the side and roof Of the a was
burned.
Sixteen bars Of Raymond & Ely sill

the AuAuoa MINE FIRE.

Relative TO the fire at the famous
Amador mine, California, a brief mem
ton Of which was made In our tele-
graphic dispatches day before yester-
day. we clip the following particulars,
telegraphed to the San Francisco Cal
Of yesterday:
SUFFER- CREEK. June ia d~estruc-
tive fire occurred here this morning,
commencing at Two o'clock. It orlSi-
mated In the store-house of the Amador
Mining Company, totally destroying
the store-hou.e, timber-house and the
blacksmith shop, aud tie holsting
works over both the north and middle
shafts; thence 1t extended to the north
shaft, the same n that was burned
two years ago. The fire spread 80 fast
that no word could be got down to the
men.
The night boss, Thomas Frakea was
going down the cage when the fire 90
Cured, and the fire was so hot that the
engineer had to abandon the engine
when the cage was about half down
the shaft, aud the ropes run Off the
drum, letting the cage containing Mr..
Frakes fall TO the bottom Of the shaft.
That was the first the miners knew Of
the fire: when, upon looking, they
discovered fre-brands falling down the
shaft, and all the miners but the men
In the 300.foot level made their escape
through the levels to the Badger shaft.
The mel In the 3O0-foot level, who,
upon discovering l., went to the mid
die shaft, finding no way Of escape
from the north shaft, climbed from tim
Der to timber, there being no ladder In
the shaft to within forty feet Of the
top, when they found everything Oh
fire above them. They then had to
70 back the same way, a distance Of
two thousand feet, to tho Panama
level. where they made their escape to
the Badger shaft.
Mr.. Frakes was taken out and found
TO be hurt very badly, though his inju-
rles are not supposed to be dangerous.
The timberS In the tops Of the shafts
were burned, but We cannot tell 10
what depth, as tho shafts are all COW
cred to smother the fire. 1t Is thought
they now have It under control.
The fire was caused by q person 60
Ing Into the store.room with q lighted
candle, and letting 1t accidentally
come In contact with a giant powder
box. The loss is supposed to be chiefly
OIL the buildings and machinery, which
were partially insured.
