THE BLOCKADE.

The Salt Lake Herald Of Tuesday,
says: A train of some five cars, loaded
with provisions, left this city on Sun
day for the passengers blockaded on
the U. P. R. and the force Of men en-
ployed shoveling snow. There are
1900 or moro, Of the latter, actively
engaged endeavoring to get the trains
through. The stores consisted Of
crackers, canned goods, groceries and
everything that was necessary for The
~sustenance and COMFORTS far as pos
sible-of those to whom they were
sent. A telegram from Ogden, dated
tho 18th instant, says: The Union Pa
ciflc trains are moving; they are now
between Creston and Washable, slowly
fighting their way westward but 1t Is
blowing very hard, and it may be
three or four days before they can
get through. 1t has been stormlns Sc
yerely all along the western division.
The passengers are comfortable and
we'll provided with provisions, and are
apparently satisfied that the Union
Pacific Company are doing all that can
be done under the circumstances. The
passengers have sent numbers Of tele-
grams to their friends in the west, all
agreeing that they are comfortable and
that provisions arc abundant. The
Company have a force Of over 1000
mon on the snow. who work In gangs
relieving each other ut short intervals.

WHAT ADVERTISING DD.-Millaud,
the banker and newspaper Spectator,
who died recently In Paris, and who
founded the Petite Journal, which at
M time had Q daily circulation OF
nearly half q million copies, was an
enthusiastic believer In the advantages
Of liberal advertising. One day he had
at his table nearly all the proprletors
OF the leading Paris dailies: They
conyersed about advertising. Millaud
asserted that the most worthless artl-
cles could be sold In vast quantities II
literally advertised. Emil dc Girar-
din, Of La Prssse, who was present,
took issue with him on the subject.
"what will you bet," exclaimed Mil
laud, "that l cannot sell In II week
100, 600 francs worth Of the most COM
mon cabbage seed under the pretext
that 1t will produce mammoth cabbage
heads? All / have to do 10 to adver-
tlse 1t at once In q whole page inier-
ton In the daily papers Of this city"
Girardln replied that he would give
him q page In his paper for nothing If
he should win his wager. The other
newspaper publishers agreed to do the
Same thing. At the expiration OF the
week they inquired OF Mlllaud how
the cabbage seed had flourlshed. He
them that be had sold nearly
twice as mush rs he had promised,
while orders were still pouring In ; but
he said the joke must stop there; and
no further orders would be filled.

The PRESIDENT AS VIEWED ~ HIs
ENEMIEs.-General Grant has rendered
services which aroused the enthusiastic
gratitude of his countrymen ; he led
our armies from victory to victory, till
the Rebellion met its death at Apo
mattox, but then 1t cannot be denied
that he has kept his father IN a country
P~ostofice to which he had been APP
pointed by a former President nor
that he has selected for a confidential
service at the White House. his broth
~er-in-law, who. being an officer In tho
army, not by Grants appointment, re-
ceives no additional compensation for
this duty. Still It Is argued that 1t Is
improper for q President to appoint,
at tho same cost to the Government, a
man whom he knows and can confide
In, rather than a stranger. We do not
see how this charge Is 10 be answered.
Nor Is this all, for It Is positively stated
that among the female clerks In the
Treasury Department, Is the PreSi-
dents wife's brother-in-law's second
cousin. 10 such a fearful extent has
nepotism been carried OIL by the pres
emit Administration! It Is not denied
that under General Grant, adminls-
tration the debt has been reduced to an
extent without precedent In financial
history ; but then 1t Is equally clear
that the President smokes strong
cigars. It 10 admitted that moro than
$50. 600. 900 Of taxes have been lifted
from the shoulders Of the people; but
what answer have we to tho fearful
fact that the President likes a good
horse almost as much rs Washington
and jackson did? In mitigation OF
this offence, 1t may DO pleaded that
soldiers are generally rather fond OF
horses.

CRrT1cIsINa NEwsPArERs.-Tho fol
lowing from one of our exchanges Is
replete with sound truth, and Is appll,
cable to various conceited noodles and
old fogies in this section as we'll as
everywhere else:
1t Is n very easy matter to criticlse q
newspaper; but to publish o live one.
80 as to interest, amuse and Instruct
the public, Is no small undertaking.
Those In this community who are so
prone to find fault with every little
item which does not suit their critical
and exalted ideas, should buy type,
ink and paper, and publish an organ
of their own. Let them try 1t for three
months only, and If it don't give them
some new ideas Of the newspaper bust
ness, then we are no judge Of human
nature. The concelt would be taken
out of such individuals so quickly thnt
they would hardly know what was the
matter with them, or whether they
stood on their heads or feet.

InyS Items.

From the Independent Of February loth.]
A magnificent body Of ore has just
been struck on a cross lode In the
Omega tunnel, or rather 100 feet below
the level of the tunnel, and $50 feet
from the surface. This o lode Is
about 20 feet in width, mostly hard
ore running 5000 per ton. The indica-
lions are also very favorable for a big
strike In the main tunnel.
Several parties have recently located
lands In the vicinity Of Camp Indepen-
dence, and are busily engaged In max
Ing long lines Of ditch fences and other
improvements. Among the old settlers
Messrs. Chaquette and Melone are set
ting out two or three miles more Of
live fence, and others are making like
permanent improvements.
Water In fair quantities has been
struck In the Potosi or Lower Town
tunnel In Cerro Gordo. The value OF
this strike will be appreciated when 1t
Il understood that all the water used
there costs ten cents per gallon. The
Belmont and Whlttekind are both
yielding large quantities Of fine orc.
Both furnaces are In full blast. The
new road being built by Messrs. OAR
row s. Mears Is nearly completed into
Cerro Gordo. Mr.. Beaudry has pur-
chased the San Lucas mine from Its
former Mexican owners-an encourag-
Ing circumstance for the town, as Mr..
Beaudry Is not the man to allow such
fine property to lie in comparative
idleness.
A Mexican boy attempted a most d.
abollcal outrage in Lone Pine. a few
days since. 1t appears that he had
taken umbrage on some trifling ground
against Sheriff Elder or some member
Of his family, and in order to ''get
even," thought he would try and blow
him up. He accordingly bored a hole
In n stick of flrewood, duly charged 1t
with powder and awaited events. Not
long afterwards Mr. Elder got hold Of
that identical stick Of wood and built
I'D a cosy fire and sat down to cogitate
about Clark district or something. He
didn't cogitate long; soon there was a
fuzz, a loud explosion, a whirlwind OF
fire and ashes and a Sheriff vamosing
the ranch. Fortunately none OF his
family were in the room at the mo-
ment, nor any material damage occa-
stoned to himself or property, by this
flendlsh attempt at murder. We don't
youch for tho truth Of the statement,
but We are told that Elder will give
anybody 1900 that will effectually
do" for that young hombre.

The International Society, of which
everybody reads something OCCASION
ally, Is an offshoot, or result OF the
French Communists. Its objects are
both political and social. and having
branches already flourishing in the
leading cities Of this country as we'll as
the old world, Is influence as an Or
ganizasion Is very likely to DO quite
perceptibly felt In the politics OF the
nation. Trades unions and working
mems associations have affiliated with
It, contesting ostensibly against mon
eyed ar~istocracy and capital generally,
and the Woodruff and Clafln woman
suffrage element has also crept into 1t
with an aim to reyolutionizing, re-
modelling and reconstructing society
anew, upon a totally different basis.
During the Frsnco-G German war = pro-
position was made from Europe to es-
tabllsh q universal Republic. At that
time tho number Of this Society was
estimated to number about 1000 In the
United States, with its headquarters at
Cincinnati, and since then 1t claims to
have reached the control Of a couple Of
million votes. Whether this Is so OF
not, the organization Is well worthy Of
attention, be It's objects and effects
good or bad. Ignoring 1t or under
rating Its power Is simply nonsense,
although, contendinS against mon
archy and a~rlstocracy, it has moro Of q
field in Europe, and not In our free re,
publican country.

JApANEsE STUDENT OF THEoIoaY.-

JAPANESE STUDENT OF THEOLOGY
The Pacific Churchman Of Friday says
For several months past q young and
very intelligent Japanese has been In
the family Of the Rev. Mr.. Brewer, at
San Mateo, and under his instruction
has embraced Christianity and deter
mined to study for the ministry, and
In time return to his native country as
n missionary. The history Of Yoko-
hama (which Is his name) Is q very In
teresting one, Of which We give only
m outline here. He Is about twenty
years old ; has by nature a very eager,
inquiring mind, and In Japan he be-
came acquainted with some Americans,
and was seized with a strong desire to
learn more about the distant and Won
derful country Of which he heard so
much he learned something OF the
language also, and there fell in his way
q portion of the Scriptures In Chinese,
which language he Is familiar with. In
the Bible, as he thus found 1t, he be-
came greatly interested, and this. with
his strong desire to know more Of the
world, determined him a little more
than a year ago, to como to San Fran
cisco. For q time he was employed
here In some Chinese school, until he
went to San Mateo. Mr.. Brewer tells
US that his moral and religious history
has been a very Interesting one, es-
pecially how the great facts and truths
Of Christianity, one by one have dawned
upon him his eagernesS and anxiety
at times must have been painful, and
even hard to control. As 1t was not
found convenient to educate him here
arrangements have been made by our
interested clergy to send him to the
mission House"-an institution Of
our Church at Philadelphia, for the
training Of Just such as he ; and on Sat-
urday last he sailed In the steamer for
New York to enter this training school,
where he will spend several years In
preparation for his work.

A man out In Logansport, Indiana,
