A member of the Colorado exploring eXpedi-
ton writes TO the Chicago Tribune that there is
a great variety of new and handsome species of
cactus in Utah. A field of many acres, filed
with blossoms varying in color from the purest
white to the deepest crimson, with yellow, pale
pink and scarlet intermingled, forms one of
those rare sights that partly repay the travellers
toll.

CATACAZY FROM AN ORIENTAL STANDPOINT.
We Japanese Shimbun ZaSsh) have received
a letter from student in America, who tells
us curious story. The subject of it is the
Russian minister, at present accredited to Wash
ington. Gle was formerly attached as seereta-
ry to the Russian minister there, and there was
a great scandal about his keeping a French mis-
tress. The minister advised him to leave, as it
was not proper to be so intimate with a woman
unless she possessed the title of wife. So the
secretary went off with the woman and went TO
another country, where he was at first attached
to the charge d'affaires. He was afterwards
promoted TO be minister, and came again TO
America with the same woman, who had now
become his lawful wife. Some DAYS ago all the
ministers OF the various powers were invited TO
an entertainment at the private residence of the
secretary OF state for foreign affairs, and the
Russian minister was to have been invited also

Ex-Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania would
be, doubtless, a valuable accession to either of
the contending parties in that state; but we
question whether he is worth so much disputing
and what appears to be downright lying, on one
side or both, as he has been the subject of for
the last few weeks. The poor man is very ill,
quite unable to do or say anything for either
party, and probably incapable of thinking about
or understanding the issues involved in the can
vass. The struggle going on around his bed to
secure such aid as the influence of his name can
give to one side or the other, is as indecent as
would be wrangle Of his heirs for the possess
ion OF his estate, before the breath had left his
body. The republicans of his district some time
ago nominated him for congress, and he
declined the nomination in letter, not
written by his own hand, which was
out of the question in his state of
health, but containing some expressions from
which his adherence to the republican party
was necessarily implied. The democrats after
ward nominated him as a member of the con.
Yention to be held during the coming year to
revise the constitution Of the state. This nomi-
nation he has not accepted nor declined; his
physicians declare it highly dangerous for him
to read or write, or to make any mental exer-
ton whatever. After this warning the republi-
cans seem to respect his weakness; Tut theother
party is in too desperate straits to stand upon
ceremony or refrain from worrying man to
death if there is a chance of helping their cause
by it.. They have beset Mr.. Curtin with
ceaseless importantly, and now claim to have
extorted from him promise that within a few
days hewil "electriiy the people by his buge call

The Galena ull.) Gazette says: "The New
York World sent correspondent here about
one month ago to visit all saloons of Galcna
and ascertain if Gen. Grant owed them any
whiskey bills. While large majority of our
saloon keepers are democrats, they all responded
that Grant had never owed them any liquor
bills So the World incurred all this expense
without any profit, and the matter has never
been alluded to in its columns. The fact is,
Gen. Grant never in his life drank glass Of
liquor from any bar in Galena."

Just rescued from ring mismanagement? And
apart from any mere question of economy, what
does Gen. Dix expect business men to think of
the honesty and morality of this transaction, by
which the money Of long swindled stockholders
is paid out by irresponsible directors for work
not done?
There is, it will be noticed, no ground what
ever, according to the Tribune's own statement,
for supposing that the payment was his salary,
or that it was made for any one reason that can
be named rather than another, except that, as
General Dix has always been esteemed an up
right and honorable man, it is fair to presume,
in the absence of all evidence, that money re-
eeived by him was honestly his due. Yet in the
above extract it is assumed TO be an "overpay-
ment," and General DIX is impudenty cate
chiSed as to its expenditure, and what he eX-
poets honest men to think of it. The matter is
of no sort of consequence except as an excellent
specimen of the Tribuncs campaign arguments
