Got Him at Last.

A revengeful traveller once on a Ger
tain railroad in this State packed a
carpet-bag full ofloaded revolvers, and
handed it to gentlemanly baggag-
master who had ruined three or four
trunks for him already. The smash
er flung the bag up against the wall
savagely, and then threw it on the
floor and trampled on it, and jumped
up and down on it as usual. AT q
bout the fourth jump firing began
along the whole line. Forty-six re-
volvers went off in rapid succession,
distributing bullets around the Car
with disgusting careIessness of the
smasher, who was shot in six places
before he could get out of the car
He rode upon the platform during the
whole of that trip; and when he did
enter the car he eDcased his legs in
stove pipe, and ran an iron clad snow
plow in front Of him to push the bag
gage out with. He smashes, perhaps,
fewer carpet-bags now than he once
did in the blissful past-much fewer
and he is filed with a gloom. The
only boon he Graves is that he may
be present when the carpet bag owner
calls with his check. He says there
will be a conflict which will make the
Franco-German war appear perfectly
MISUNDERSTANDING Neacs.

The charges made by District At
torney George c. Bates imperatively
demand investigation. If the Presi-
dent is not party to the foul conspi-
racy to drive the Mormons out of
Utah, he will instruct the Attorney
General tc at once examine into the
truth of the allegations. Life and
property are not safe where the bench
is corrupt; and if the Federal judici-
ary of Utah are not corrupt, then Dis
trict Attorney Bates is falsifer, and
should be proved such. 1t seems that
as far back as 1871, United States
Senator preferred charges of corrup-
ton by telegraph against two Federal
officials Of the Territory; but says
Mr.. Bates, "the Rev. DR.. Newman
interviewed at Long Branch, and the
matter was dropped" The illegal
prosecution Of the Mormon leaders on
stale charges of murder was then in
progress, and the work of sending
them to the gallows and terrorizng
their followers from the Territory was
not to be delayed by investigation into
the fresh and recent crimes of Federal
officials Had that prosecution been
successful, and had the Mormons been
forced to abandon Utah, there would
have been millions of acres of land
and untold wealth in mines to be di-
vided. The conspirators have not yet
given up all hope of success. If Gen.
Grant is not an accomplice in their
designs let him order prompt investi-
cation.

Slipping Through Slippers.

, Have you read Mr.. Trollope's Tire
Clerks ? Then read it again.
Yes, well know your words are true,
promised this last dance to you,
The fact can't deny:
Yet:do not deem maiden false,
Nor think she'd with another valse
While you are standing by.
Think not because my card I've lost
That something hath my temper crossed,
Nor judge me coquette;
Fain would in the giddy whirl
With you my partner madly twirl,
And all my grief forget.
But ah tonight my joys are er,
No more tread the polished floor
q thought you never frowned p
For (,chisper) satin is not strong,
And. Henry, having danced too long,
My toes are on the ground.
