The Utah Question.

The President was at the Capitol to-day
for the purpose of urging upon the mem
beers of both Houses of Congress the ne
cessity of taking some decisive action this
session upon the Utah question. He held
consultations with the members of both
the house and Senate judiciary Commit
tees, and stated that he had been petition
ed by a vast number of the inhabitants of
Utah to not only guarantee them the usual
constitutional protection, but to afford
them the rights which properly appertain-
ed to Ameriuan citizens. The President
intimated that he could Immediately send
Congress a special message calling on
them for legislation on this subject

Heavy Railroad Suit.

At the late term of the Chancery Court
at this place, Messrs. Shields, Netherland,
Deaderick, Taylor and York, as attorneys
for numerous stockholders of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and George Railroad
Company, filed an injunction bill against
Messrs. Wilson, McGhee, Jaques and 9th
ers; the object of which, as we learn, is to
prevent the sale of a majority of the stock
of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia Railroad Company, by Messrs. Wilson,
McGhee, Jaques and others, to the South
ern Railway Security Company. The re-
suit of this suit will be looked for with
considerable interest by the people of this
section, as ii involves some questions and
points in which our community are very
much interested MOrristotGn Gazette.

color would have made no difference, as
no one knew better than himself, and
which was practically demonstrated on
that memorable September day in the
mountain fastness, when the hideous deed
was committed at which ghouls them
selves would blush, in the suffice of the
body of the unfortunate negro, which was
torn from the grave to furnish material for
the dabolical orgies.
That the event was premcdtated was
clearly demonstrated by the fact that the
body was
PACKED IN CHARCOAL,
in order to keep it from decaying too rap
idly, and by whose direction this was done
well known. "The best laid plans of
mice and men oft gang aglee," and this is

All who are acquainted with Mrs. Boyd,
or who witnessed the devotion manifested
by her at the trial of her husband, speak
of her as q devout and earnest Christian
and her prayers and influence may in
time exert that salutary influence on him
that he now processes to feel in n modified
way.
In his interview with the Banner re-
porter, Boyd spoke of the heroic fortitude
with which his wife had borne up with
his trials with much feeling, but rallied
himself on saying that his family would
remove to Nashville within the next few
days, and remain there and visit him
during his imprisonment, She, of course,
will not be permitted to take up her abode

The Richest Man in the World.

The Khedive of Egypt is probably the
richest man in the world. His yearly in
come is $50, 900, and he has twenty-five
richly furnished palaces within the walls
of Cairo. He is vastly more progressive
than the Sultan, his Turkish master; he is
rapidly extending his dominions, building
railroads, and making commercial i'm
proyements, and will ultimately become
independent of Turkish dominion. He is
at present making arrangements for the
construction of a railroad up the Nile 10
Dongola, and thence across the desert to
Soudan, which country he will make one
of his own provinces. IT has been remark
ed of him that "the Niceroy upon any
throne in Europe, would be the greatest
monarch of the age" He is not only q
prince, but a merchant, a capitalist, q
statesman, and a cultivator. He sleeps
! only four hours out of every twenty-four
and at his desk centre his railroads, steam
ship lines, telegraphs, postal service, pr
waite estates, sugar mills, cotton culture
army, navy, and civil service.

The GooDEN0UGH SHoE.-C. A.
Chaplin, Ann Arbor, Mich, writes: al
have lately seen some mention of the
Goodenough horseshoe and system of
shoeing. Is it good shoe, and what
is the system? Is it superior to the old
or any other system of sEoeing?"
Reply.-The Goodenough horseshoe
is great improvement, doubtless, upon
the ordinary shoe. 1t is so made that
it grips the ground and cannot slip, nor
can the nail heads wear out, as they do
not come in contact with the ground
until the shoe is worn out and needs
removal, But the system of shoeing is
an admirable one. This, however, is
not really q part of the shoe, but is
founded upon theory and practice long
ago fought for by intelligent horsemeD.
The principle consists in leaving the
frog intact, to serve the invaluable and
indispensable purpose for which it was
designed, viz cushion of elastic mate
rial, wherewith to protect the sole of
the foot. The shoe itself is calculated
to let the hoof down upon the ground so
that the heels rest upon the bars, and
is protected by the frog. The weight,
instead of being carried by the crust of
the hoof, is thus distributed over the
whole of the foot, and the tender sole is
protected against jars and blows.

HOW TO FATTEN CATTLE.

"The following communication from
r. A Steele, prom inent stock-raiser
of this State, to the DRovERs' JOURNAL,
is full of good sense, and if stock-raisers
will follow it, the quality of cattle sent
to market will be rapidly changed:
The price of cattle fattened for mar
ket depends on the symmetry of the an
imal as well as the fat, "style," as ship
pers term it. l want here to state that
good blood is important, but not abso-
lutely necessary, to make what is term
ed good seller. In order to fatten
steer to bring the highest market price,
he must be kept in growing condition
fro m a calf, and in no case allowed to
go hungry. 1t is the starving the first
and second Winters which wits and
shrivels up steer, and causes him to
be sold at reduced price. No amount
of feeding will make him first-class
seller, no difference what his color or
blood. An animal well fed Ct care not
what the blood-Texas or not) from Il
calf until the Spring he is three years
old, will be smooth, with bones well
covered, and will sell at profit; while
a halfstarved animal becomes crooked
in the back, bone projecting, and shriv-
eled up; takes the best part Of the Sum-
mer to get in condition to live, and will
not be in condition for market until he
is four years old, and then will bring
price which is unsatisfactory to the pro-
Queer and to every one that handles
him. This is no theory, but fact de-
duced from close observation as | have
tested the plan for several years.
1t will and does pay to feed corn to
calves and to yearlings. They start
out on grass in the Spring, strong and
vigorous. You are then able to market
your cattle the Spring they are three
years old, weighing 400 pounds, which
is heavy enough to bring the first price.
The best steer l sold in 1872 was
common native. He had all he could
eat from calf, and was never hungry
He was a handsome animal, and was
worth more per pound than anything |
shipped in 1872 He weighed in Chi
cago 1850 pounds; age three years
l now have a steer calf eleven months
old, from very ordinary COW. The
calf now (May Ply weighs $50 pounds.
l think it will weigh, when three years
old, 1900 pounds. l do not wish it
understood that l am not in favor of
improving the blood as well as feed.
shipped two Texan steers this
Spring, which were three years old
They were smooth and nice, and sold
them with lot Of Durhams, four years
old, at the same price and they were
worth as much per pound, and weighed
better according to age. They were
raised and fed by different parties.
Mammoth, overgrown steers have
had their day, and are now come down
to the neat, compact, well-fattened ami
NAL, both in hogs and cattle. To &C
complsh this in cattle, good feeding
from calf is necessary"

There are tempted and poor must meet !;
There are many unthought of whom, happy

In need of friend and a guide;
There are dim little eyes looking up into

Whose tears could be easily dried
