GERMANY Is fortifying herself, just
as IL she were a feeble nation. Bis
marck demands $5l, 900, 900 from the
war Indemnity for the following pur-
poses: Spandau to be much enlarged
and strengthened Kustrin to be raised
to q second-class fortress; the fortilca-
lions Of Stettin, Kosel, Erfpurt, Gran
denz, Munden. and wlttenberg to lose
their land defences, and be strength
ened towards the coast ; Rugen to be
strengthened, and Meyence to be ma
terially enlarged as soon as the outly-
Ing forts of Metz and Strasburg shall
be finished and armed. In eighteen
months, when the above purposes shall
be completed, the land offensive and
defensive strength Of Germany will be
double what 1t was when the war with
France broke out, in 1870. and most OF
the strategic railways will then be
nearly completed. 70 avoid war,
Wellington said, be prepared for 1t.

MR. j. B. +. SrKSuousE, Of Salt
Lake City, recently delivered her lee
ture on polygsmy, In Utah, In Lin
coin Hall, Washington. to a very large
audience. There were present quite a
number Of Senators, Congressman and
distinguished citizens. The lady was
cordially greeted on her entrance, ana
throughout her lecture was frequently
applauded. The expose Of polygamy
In its practical workings was told In
the mild language Of an accomplished
lady, but was keen and cutting. A
magnificent bouquet Of flowers was
sent to the stage, which was kindly &C.
knowledged. and at the close of the
lecture Mrs. Stenhouse was requested
to repeat her lecture. It wa amusing
to hear the remarks Of the ladies after
the lecture. They all wanted to know
more, and with accustomed curiosity
they bcsseched the lecturer for a lee
ture purely to the fair sex, where they
could ask quest ions.

Bo.oo on spIritualism.

From the Salt Lake Tribune, March 4th.1
Last night Mr.. Carl Bosco, alias
Mortimer, son Of Mr.. Mortimer, jug.
gler OF Yorkshire. England, gave am
other OF his amusing entertainments
at the Theatre. After getting through
his long variety Of sleight-of hand
tricks which were cleverly done. he
announced the spiritual" cabinet
performance, and according to his
usual practice, called for a committee
to inspect the cabinet and tie him
hand and foot, as the Davenport
Brothers are tied, from which he en-
gagged to release himself. During the
day previous q committee had been
formed for the purpose Of testing the
Professors powers, las he claims TO be
equal to the D%avenports) among whom
was DR.. o. H. Cougar, who, some
few years Since, being a confirmed
skeptic volunteered to accompany the
Davenport Brothers as their agent free
Of charge In order to expose their sup
posed fraud. The Doctor was thus
engaged for several months and OF
course had ample time and opportu-
nifty to become thoroughly acquainted
with their methods al procedure and
the tests to which they submitted, he
having tied them himself some dozens
Of times, using as much rs 400 feet OF
rope on one person. The formation of
the committee wal induced on the
ground that Mr.. Mortimer, alias
"Bosco," had informed q gentle
man while on the Union Pacific
train that he was q medium and con-
sequently no tying would hold him:
Although the committee did not intend
to use 400 feet ofrope on the Professor,
they did intend to use a olothes-lipe
instead Of Bosco's short pieces. and
thus apply a little bit Of the Daven-
mort test. "Bosco" had been pre-
vlously posted" that a committee
would be present for the purpose al
Logged, and, the curtain being raised,
he called for them, aud for the Doctor
especially. On the committee going on
the stage aud inqulring what condi-
tions Of test he would suomst TO, anu
exhibiting q new rope, u aiias
Prestidigftateur became somewhat In
dignant, aud to, say the very least,
addressed the committee very dis
c%ourteously, referring to them
as ..%spirituallstic critics." when the
fact was they were skeptics, and wished
to see If the "mountaiu's labor"
brought forth anything but "a mousse"
but "Bosco" did not propose even to
submit to the "labor" part, and. after
making repeated harangucs to tue au-
dieuce, impudently insinuating that
the Doctor had never tied the Daven-
ports, preferred to tie himself and 60
through the performance alOne-which
he did. AS a trickstsr "Bosco" Is
good, and We do hope he will never
"blow" again about exposing pho.
nomena he knows nothing OF. or
course Mortimer a scarcely be any
thing but smart, having been brought
I'D In the business with his father, who,
It is said, was 30 expert In England
that he could successfully cut of a
ROSTERS head and stick 1t on again,
when the blamed thing would crow.
We are pleased to know that tho
professor Is not q meijum.

OIL the left breast, passing clear through

Boyd then went for assistance. and
met officer Woodruff coming. O'Bricn
then retreated up Main street followed
by the two officers, until he got near
the Record office, when Woodruff COM
manded him to halt. Then he conf
menced firing on the officers, who re-
turned the shots. Twelve or fourteen
shots had been exchanged when officer
Mckee, who had heard the firing from
Meadow Valley street, hurried to the
scene-gettlng there just as Woodruff
had taken O'Brien into custody ; and
at this juncture a friend of O'Brlen told

ENeIAND's TREATMENT OF IRELAND.
England has been trying to do justice
to Ireland, but simply because fear has
compelled her to do so. She never did
a just thing except through fear. She
allowed the Catholics to vote because
forced to do so, but even then she made
1t conditional that they should vote for
q Protestant. MI. Gladstone has stolen
his laurels from Henry Grattan and
Daniel O'Connell.
