CAN 1T BE TRUE?-Within the last few
months a considerable number of persons
have called upon DIR. Walker, the proprie-
tor of the popular medicine known as
VINEGAR BITTERs, and assured him that.
i'm their belief, his preparation is an infalli-
bic antidote for rum and tobacco. The
minute details which have been furnished
him forbid him to doubt the accuracy OF
the statements. This new claim OF great
remedy to the confidence of the public
will give vast and well-deserved impulse
to its popularity. Heretofore the BITTERs
have been recognized as pure vegetable
tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol, and
thoroughly adapted to the cure of stomach
and bowel complaints, nervous disorders,
bilious affections, muscular diseases, and,
indeed, majority of the ailments within
the reach of medicine; but If it will also
cure the craving for liquor and tobacco,
philosophers, statesmen and theologians
ought to unite their voices in its praise.
Can the good news be true? 1t is easy to
test the question.

A CORRESPONDENT of Montreal jour
nal. speaking of the lately deceased Duke
of Brunswick, says: "One of the ugliest
men, he was accustomed to have himself
painted and enameled, and made
up with all the artificiality of the patron
esses of Madame Rachel. His bald head
was crowned with a blue-black wig, one OF
thirty, changed every day, and initiating
the growth of the hair; wig No. being
cut close to initiate head just cropped by
the barber; wig No. being a trifle longer,
and so on all through the series. When
the Duke appeared in wigs 20 and 80, he
was accustomed to run his fingers through
their long locks with the remark that he
must really have his hair cut"

tbs New York Tribune, under the
heading Jim Nye's Household Goods as
Registered Letters" says There are
now in the registered letter department
OF the Postoflice of New York seven large
wooden boxes, received from Washington,
and addressed 10 james W. Nye, L. S.
s., New York. Public Documents"
Each box bears fifteen cents worth Of
postage stamps, the sum required on
each package or letter passing through
the registered letter department. Until
the abolition of the ranking privilege on
July LIST, the franks Of United States
Senators and Representatives will be re-
spected, so that these seven boxes cost
Senator Nye for transportation from
Washington to New York 81 05. Their
combined weight, it is asserted by those
employed in the Postoffice, exceeds that
of all the legitimate mail matter which
has passed through that department dur
ing last month There is much conjec-
ture among the clerks in the Postoffice as
to the contents OF the boxes. There are
those who are unkind enough TO say that
they believe the boxes cont ain portion
of the Senator's worldly effects, and that
he has taken this cheap method of secur-
ing their safe and speedy transmission
from point to point.

INFECT EASTERN COMsIUNI-
CATION.

The prospect of Phoebe having a d.
rect Eastern outlet by rail, at no distant
day, is much brighter than is generally
supposed. The interposing obstacles
are Of less magnitude, and the distance
to be traversed much shorter, than We
had thought, before investigating the
matter. The Elko and Salt Lake roads
will, Of course, both be constructed
before any considerable Roadway is made
towards direct Eastern line; but rail
roads beget railroads, and the necessity
for direct communication will be more
apparent and sensibly felt after the local
routes are accomplished 2 facts than ever.
The local route will develop rival carry
ing and commercial interests, in the con-
hiet OF which the mercantile influence of
Missouri, Kansas and Central Colorado
will demand and advance capital towards
securing the shortest route to and cheapest
means of sharing the trade of Southern
Nevada. Nowhere on the continent are
there natural facilities and advantages
for railroad building superior TO those
between Phoebe and a point intersecting
the Smoky Hill route from Leavenworth
to Denver. The distance TO railroad
connection in an air line is not much
over six hundred miles now, and in two
years hence We believe the Denver,
Georgetown and Utah Railroad will have
advanced so far this way that less stag
ing will then be required TO reach direct
railroad communication with st Louis
than is now necessary in reaching Ogden
or Elko. The Directors of the D. G. &
L. r. r. are amply backed with capital,
and declare their intention to push the
road ahead with all yieor until the settle
ments Of Southern Utah are reached.
From here on eastward to the point Of
connection in Eastern Utah fine agricul-
tural sections will be traversed and the
extensive and rich coal and iron mines
Of Iron county, Utah. The rails for the
road will probably be constructed on the
ground, thus reducing the cost of con-
struction, and at the same time develop
ing great and permanent industry on
our eastern borders. Then cheap ma
chinery and an abundance of labor will
make available the extensive silver mines
in Beaver, Iron ard Washington coun-
ties, Utah, and to the west and south Of
PiocAe, and thousands will prosper
where we now have hundreds waiting in
hope and expectancy.
II this sanguine view OF the future of
Southwestern Utah and Southeastern
Nevada, is not justified by practical
facts, then have We studied the resources
OF this country in vain.

United States Attorney Beckwith tele-

from New Orleans to-day, as follows;
Deputy Marshall Delins has returned
from Colfax. He arrived there the day
after the massacre. The details are
horrible. The Democrats of Grant parish
attempted to forcibly oust the incumbent
parish officers, but failed, the Sheriff
protecting the officers with a colored
posse. Several days afterwards recruits
from other parishes to the number Of 800
came to the assistance of the assailants,
| when they demanded the surrender of
the colored people, which was refused.
An attack was then made and the ne
groes were driven into the courthouse,
which was fired, and the negroes slaught-
cred as they were leaving the burning
building, after their resistance ceased.
sixty-fve negroes were terribly mutilated
and found dead near the ruins of the
courthouse. Thirty known to have been
taken prisoners, were said to have been
shot alter the surrender. Two of the
assailants were wounded. The slaughter
was greater than in the riot of 1866 in the
city. The Attoi ney- General telegraphed
Beckwith to make thorough investiga.
ton of the affair, and if he finds that

AN IMPORTANT ADVANCE STEp.-The
San Francisco Alta says that the Masonic
Grand Lodge of Idaho, at its last session,
passed resolutions declaring that the
keeping of saloons for the sale of spirit
uous liquors or gaming purposes is a
Masonic offense, and such as are guilty
of such un-Masonic conduct shall be
subject to admonition, reprimand, sus-
pension and expulsion; and Masters, at
their peril, must see that this vice against
Masonry no longer finds a hiding place
among Masons, and it is strictly forbid
den, hereafter, for Masons in the juris-
diction to engage in the business. The
Masons now engaged in the business
shall have until the first day of October,
1873, to close out their business of saloon
keeping, and Masons neglecting or re-
fusing to do so shall be proceeded
against by the subordinate Lodge under
whose jurisdiction they reside, and dealt
with according to the spirit of the reso-
luton.
