Presidents Message on Utah.

We give herewith the concluding
portions of the message of President
Grant, transmitted to Congress, Fri
day.
l am convinced that so long as Con-
gress leaves the selection of jurors to.the
local authorities it will be futile to
make any effort to enforce laws not ac-
ceptable to Il majority ofthe people of
the territory, or which interferes with
local prejudices, or provides for the pun
ishment of polygamy or any of its afii-
lated vices or crime. | presume that
Congress in passing on this subject will
provide all reasonable and proper safe
guards to secure honest and compent-
ent jurors, whose verdicts will com
mand confidence and and be a guaranty
Of equal protection to all good and law
abiding citizens, and at the same time
make it understood that crime cannot
be committed with impunity. | have
before said that while the laws creating
the several territories have generally
contained uniform provisions in respect
to the judiciary, yet Congress has oc-
casionally varied these provisions in
minor details, as the circumstances of
the territory affected seemed to de-
mand, and in creating the territory of
Utah Congress evidently though that
circumstances there might require .ju-
dicial remedies not necessary in other
territories, for by section 8 of the act
creating that territory it is provided
that writ of error may be brought
from the decision of any judge of the
territory to the Supreme Court of the
United States upon any writ of habeas
corpus involving the question ofperson-
al freedom, a provision never inserted
in any other territorial act except that
creating the territory of New Mexico.
This extraordinary provision shows
that Congress intended to mold the
organic law to the peculiar necessities
of the territory, and the legislation
which L now recommend is in full har-
mony with the precedent thus estab-
| lished. | am advised that the United
States Courts in Utah have been great
ly embarrassed by the action ofthe ter
ritorial Legislature in comforting crim-
inal jurisdiction and the powers to issue
writs of habeas corpus on Probate
Courts created by Congress, and cam
plaint is made that persons have been
discharged in that way by the Probate
Courts. l cannot doubt that Congress
will agree with me that such state of
things ought not longer to be tolerated,
and no class of persons anywhere should
be allowed to treat the laws of the Unit
ed States with open defiance and con-
tempt. Apprehensionsa are entertained
that if Congress adjourn without any
action upon this subject, turbulence and
disorder will follow, rendering military
interference necessary, result | should
greatly deprecate, and in view of this
and other obvious considerations,
earnestly recommend that Congress, at
the present session, pass some act which
will enable the District Courts of Utah
to proceed with independence and efli-
cheney in the administration of law and
justice.

Where agriculture is carried on in the
greatest perfection there is always the
greatest demand for manure, Thus is il
in England. The area of that country
as compared to the great extent Of such
nation as the United States of Ameri
ca, is very limited-not much greater
than the single State of Pennsylvania, yet
she consumes annually not less than 500.
600 tons of commercial fertilizers, which
is much larger amount than is used il
the whole United States.

To Live.

MRS. MARTHA A. HOLDEN.
'Tis grand and solemn thing to live,
More solemn still to die;
To know our lives must pass review
Before Gods omniscicnt eye.
To live is but to bear
The dread responsibilities of life;
And meet with fearful conflicts
Waged mid the worlds vain strife.
fearful mystery envelopes
All we know, this life beyond,
And we falter, shrink and tremblc,
As we near the dreaded bound.
Why do we live? Why must we die?
Arc thoughts which often come, and 60
Unanswered, as when first we sought
Their meaning full to know.
Thus must it ever be, until we pass
The confines of the tomb,
A flower transplanted from the earth,
In Paradise to bloom.

What Came of q TOmbOy.

Miss Martha Knight is good-looking
girl who was born in Boston, and very
early in life mortified her parents and
their friends by being that childish fem
mime monstrosity called Tomboy."
She cared nothing for dolls and mini
allure housekeeping, like other little
girls, but wanted gimlets and augers,
and saws and hatchets, and nails and
lumber to work with. Instead of
learning to sew on dolls clothes, she
made sleds and wagons and kites for her
numbscull brothers, and she finally be-
came a wonder of mechanical genius.
Her taste ran that way, and her friends
concluded to let it go when they found
they could not stop it. Miss Martha
Knight, being poor, went into paper
bag mandatory to earn her livelihood.
Of course such a girl could not stay at
home and drone away her life at the
family Preside. She went to work like
man, and has now become famous and
the pride of the old folks. She has won
the distinction of being the first female
inventor that ever received patent for
complete invention at Washington.
Her invention is machine for making
paper bags. Several attempts had pre-
viously been made in this direction by
men of mechanical genius, and all had
failed. This Tomboy" has now done
it, and made a success. Unaided she
drew her plans, and she superintended
the putting up of the machinery at Am
herst, Mass. 1t works well, and heI
everlasting fortune is made.

Remarkable Succession of Deaths.

A singular fatality appears to have
attached to the new building of the
Young Mems Christian Association, in
New York City, as no less than eight
sudden deaths have occurred among the
artists, occupants of its studios, and OF
those intimately connected with them,
within period of little more than two
years. Edward J. Kuntze's death &C.
CURED first, shortly after the opening of
the building. Edward D. Nelson was
killed, few hours after leaving his
studio, on the Harlem Railroad. Adolph
Vogt died few months later, very sud
denly, of smallpox. Mrs. TAFT, wife of
the artist, died in her husbands studio
last Winter. Ames, the portrait paint
er, was stricken down in his studio while
working before his easel last summer,
and died few days later. Mrs. Vincent
Colyer, wife of the artist, was drowned
at Darien, Connecticut, in October.
Mr.. Kensett's death occurred suddenly
on the 18th of the present month, and
before the emblems of mourning were
removed from his studio door, Mr..
George P. Putnam, the art publisher,
was stricken with apoplexy in his store
and died before he could be removed to
his home. This is sad record.

Don't Fret.

What good does it do? Certainly
you are none the happier---nor your
friends---because you constantly air
your troubles. Fretting is useless and
unnecessary. To be sure, 1 don't be-
heve in the cant that woman must al
ways, under all and any circumstances,
wear smiling face when her husband
comes home, or that she needs to take
her hands out of the dough, or drop the
baby on the floor, to run and meet him
at the door. But do believe, may, /
know, for have seen it with my own
eyes among my friends, that many a
woman has driven kind husband away
from her, away from his home and its
sacred influences, and caused him to
spend his time at billiard-table or in
drinking saloon, amid their profane
influences, simply by her ceaseless fret.
