The GoyernOrship.

The following dispatch reached us yester-
day afternoon, having been received by the
Ogden Junction over the A. g. p line:
1.-The junction dispatches state that Clagett
will give the President an early answer about
his appointment as Governor of Utah. The
President asks an answer before the Senate
adjourns.
What a monstrously developed fish this
Clagett must be, when the President of the
United States has to wait its pleasure before
making as trihiug an appointment as that of
Utah and Clagctt Clagett and Utah, the
President, Clagett and Utah, Utah, Clagett
and the President has had the changes rung
on it until the public are becoming pretty we'll
sick of it, If President Grant is waiting the
whim of any three-cent lawyer or other as
piring able-bodied politician, in regard to the
Goyernorship of Utah, we are not aware of
any one who will become crazy with anxiety
over the matter. When he is appointed he
represents the United States Go yernment,
and as such he should be respected; before
he is appointed he is simply an aspirant for all
easy life at three thousand five hundred dol
lars a year, salary with which a second class
clerk in dry goods or grocery store would
hardly be satisfied in this western country.
There is entirely too much fuss made about
these small fry politicians, and their claims
on or hopes for Office. The especial COM

1.-THE Full of Man,,

How it strikes the Danbury Neus man is
appended:
"You are generally looking at something
very intently when it happens-psrhaps you
are smiling to yourself. Then your left foot
shoots out to one side with a suddcnness that
creates sickness in your family. Ice COM
mences to form ON your spine and perspira-
ton on your brow, and your scalp lifts enough
to permit streak of cold air to pass under.
The other leg goes olt at this juncture, your
head snaps violently to the front, and there
is a faint impression on your mind that the
world i, about to cdme to an end with no.
body in charge. Mifs of sidewalk spin out
from you like lightning Three-story build
ings jump over your mead in quick success
sion. People disappear suddenly and with
appalling mystery. Then your eyes close,
your consciousness wanes, and your soul
goes out in one expiring qiuver, and--and
you arrive. The hard reality of the scene is
then forced upon you with unpleasant alb
ruptness. Everything is in its place but your
spine. You get up and move off with a
sickly attempt at smile, feeling at the time
that the back of your head is laughing from
ear to ear, and finding that the hardest thing
is not the sidewalk, but to keep from rubbing

From Affluence to Prison.

The New York Times of March Goth says
Judge Watson, of California, twelve years
ago married beautiful and accomplished
woman, who was yesterday held for trial at
the Tombs for stealing. Owing to domestic
trouble with her husband, she left California
three years ago and came to this city. She
at once adopted the business of confidence
woman, and after swindling number of
hotels was finally arrested by Detective TIL
ley, Of Central Office, for stealing from a
woman named Blanchard, who kept board
ing house in Fifth avenue. For this she
served six months on the island. Coming
out she returned to her business and swindled
the Coleman House, for which she was SEN
Then she procured board from Mrs. Mary
Lasher. of No. 1O3 Lexington avenue, and
so ingratiated herself into that lady's conf
dence that she was allowed to enter every
room in the house and was in fact seml-house
keeper. The result of this was that
when she suddenly left, about four weeks
ago, Mrs. Lasher discovered that she was
despoiled of $500 worth of wearing apparel
The case was placed in the hands of Detcc-
tives Tilley and Heidelberg, who learned that
Mrs. Watson had been in Boston, where she
victimized the American Hotel, and returned
to this city, taking board with lady in
Thirty-first street. Detective Heidelberg went
there to search her room, and she Indignantly
denied knowing Mrs. Lasher and ordered him
to leave the house On the. appearance of
Detective Tilley she subsidized, and in one of
her trunks was found Il lace chemise, which
was identified by Mrs. Lasher. Judge Dow
ling held Mrs. Hortense 3. Watson for trial.
Her husbund, Judge Watson, died in San
Francisco three moths ago of broken
heart.

Those three New Hampshire men who
were lately Democratic Congressman, and
who, in ceasing to be Congressmen. have not
ceased to be Democrats, have played little
game that is very sharp. They voted against
the salary grab, their eyes being open to the
fact that an election in New Hampshire was
to come off iii a few days after the adjourn
ment of the Inst Congress. They denounced
the grab on the stump with awful severity,
and proudly referred to their own bright, ex-
ceeding and personal virtue in refusing to 80
with the crowd who mobbed the Treasury.
Election day camemd went, and it will be
remembered two Of them were defeated and
one was elgcted. This chap that was elected,
and one of those who were defeated, then
wrote to Washington and drew their i've
thousand dollars. We are not surprised that
the New York Tribune calls Buffers conduct
respectable by the side Of this. Cincinnati

What Becomes Of the Quicksilver!

What becomes of all the quicksilver brought
to this State and use in our reduction works
is matter worthy of receiving the critical
attention of some of our scientists. Quick
silver in large quantities is constantly being
brought to the State and not an ounce is ever
sent way. After it has been used in amalga-
mating the precious metals contained in the
ores operated upon, it is separated from the
metals with which it is combined by retorting
and is again used in the amalgamating pans.
Thus it is used over and over until it has dis
appeared. Whether 1t floats away with the
water used in amalgamating or is lost by
evaporation there must be vast quantities of
it collecting somewhere, as it is a metal not
easily destroyed. In case it is lost by evapora-
ton it must condcnse and fall to the ground
somewhere near the works in which it is
used, and if it floats away in the water it
must eventually find a resting place on the
bottom of the stream in which it is floated
away. 1t is an axiom among millmen that
wherever quicksilver is lost, silver is lost;"
therefore there must be a great amount of
silver lost, as we shall presently see. The
amount of quicksilver furnished mills in this
section of the State alone by the bank of
California averages 800 TASKS of 763 pounds
each, or 81, 200 pounds per month. This in
one year would amount to 734, 400 pounds of
quicksilver, that goes somewhere, and count
ing backwards for ten years shows 1884, 600
ponnas tnat has gone somewhere, either up
the hue or down the f1ume. The quantity of
quicksilver distributed monthly among the
mills shows just how much is lost. None is
sold or sent out of the country with the bull
lion therefore, if there were no loss, the
mills would never want any more quicksilver
than enough to give them a start at first, as
the same lot could be used over and over, ad
mfnitum. But there is loss and very
large one, as exactly shown by the demand
for quicksilver, as it all goes to supply the
place of that lost.-Ierr5tortnl Enterprise.

Smoking.

The Quarterly Reuiew observes that the
Russian cadets have great weakness for
smoking, and smoking was held in such alb
horrence by Nicholas that-as many an En-
glish traveller in Russia will still remember
any person, whatever his age and rank, was
arrested by the police if found smoking in
the streets. Alexander, who was exceedingly
fond of cigarettes, hid himself from his father,
all his life long, when he wanted to have a
smoke. Disregarding all the penalties, how
ever, the cadets managed to smoke in their
schools, and in one of them Alexander ar
rived one day when the room was full of to-
bacco smoke. He did not seem to notice,
however, what couple of years before
would have been regarded as a crime very
nearly approaching high treason, and went
quietly on with his inspection, when AL alarm
was suddenly raised that the Emperor had
arrived in the schools courtyard. Alexan-
der suddenly turned to the boys who fol-
lowed him and said {" It smells of tobacco
here very strong; open quickly the windows;
will go down stairs and detain the Emperor
for a while" And so he did; the Emperor
noticing nothing, and the Grand Duke Alex
ander became more than ever the idol of the
young men, who are old officers now, but
from whose memory the story seems not to
have departed; at all events, the writer has
had it repeated to him several times

Our Food

There is no country where there is so much
dyspepsia as in America, because our people
pay SO little attention to food, and eat too
much meat for the exercise they take. If one
has mental labor, fish every second day at
least is requisite. Soup sets all the glands at
work, and prepares the stomach for the
more important functions of digestion, and
therefore should be taken at dinner every
day Beef broth is to the old what milk is
to the young. Cookery properly attended
keeps man in health. If the stomach is out
of order, the brain is affected. We should
cat more fruit, Vegetables, soup and fish.
Good and wcll-prepared food beauties the
physique, the same as good and well-directed
education beauties the mind. Wrinkles are
produced by want of the variety of food.
The man who does not use his brain to select
and prepare his food is not above the brutes,
which take it in the raw state.-Home and
Health.

A Literary Sell.

The Springfield Republican has the follow
ing, which we commend to the serious con-
sideration of all admirers of Carlyle:
A good story is told in literary circles in
New York of an enthusiastic Carlyle club of
ladies and gentlemen of Cambridge and Bos-
ton, who meet periodically to read their
chosen prophet and worship at his shrine
One of them, not imbued with sufficient rev.
erence to teach him better, felonously con-
trivcd to have the reader on acertain evening
insert something of his own composition
into the reading as though it came from the
printed page and Carlyle's hand. The inter-
polation was as follows: Word-spluttering
organisms, in whatever place-not with Plu-
tarchean comparison, apologies, nay, rather,
without any such apologies-b but born into
the world to say the thought that is in them
antiphorial, too, in the main-butchers, bak-
ers and candlestick makers; men, women,
pedants. Verify with you, too, it's now or
never" This paragraph produced great ap-
plause among the devotees of Carlyle. The
leader of the club especially, a learned and
pundit, who is the great Ameri-
can apostle of Carlyle, said nothing Carlyle
had ever written was more representative and
happy.

Johnny Clem.

The Washington Star says: Among the
many notable persons at the inauguration of
President Grant was John l.. Glen, of the
oath U. S. infantry, who reached here few
days since from his regiment at Fort Brown,
Texas, in order to place in the National Asy-
lum an invalid soldier. Lieutenant Glenn has
national reputation, and is written down in
Frank Moores Rebellion Record" and in
Lossing's History of the Civil Conflict in
America, as Little Johnny Glen, the drum
mer boy of Chickamauga," at which battle he
laid aside his drum and assumed the musket
during the entire day. During the retirement
performed guerre de mort upon a Colonel
of Texan regiment, who had ridden up with
a drawn sword demanding his surrender, by
suddenly swinging up his musket from an order
arms and emptying the saddle of his assailant.
This daring act of one so young sent his name
flying through the country. He afterwards
had his little horse killed under him. and was
wounded in the shoulder at the same time, at
Atlanta, whilst delivering a dispatch from
Major General Thomas to General Logan.
He entered the army in May, 1861, before he
was 10 years of age, as drummer-bOy and
served with distinction to the end of the war,
during which time he was present at the bat
tie of Shiloh, and at nearly every other bat
tie in which the Army of the Cumberland
was engaged. He is the youngest officer
ever commissioned in the United States army,
and Lossing's History speaks of him as the
youngest person, of whom we have any &C
count, that ever bore arms in battle, either
in this country or in Europe; and his military
record is a matter of history upon the files
of the War Department. Considering his
years, he is without peer, either in the Old
World or in the New. ...
