1t appears from the following, taken from
tne Enterprise, Virginia. Nevada, that man is
sub bject to the epizootic in modified form
wherever it prevails. Although the disease
in this climate is of the mildest type and
wcakens the animals attacked but little, a
proper prccaution in handling them should
hc observed:
''Quitc a number Of well known citizens
Of this place who have been obliged to be
much among horses sick of the epizootic,
have contracted it in a somewhat modified
form Col. Abe Edgington had the roughest
time with it, and was for some days confined
to his bed. Frank +. Osbiston had it pretty
bad and has not entirely recovered. Mr.
Crosby, of the firm of Breed & Crosby, has
had touch of it. Johnny Hereford is now
suffering from it. Even physicians are not
exempt as Dr. Bronson had a slight attack
of it. Besides the persons named, we have
heard of many others who have had the dis
ease more or less severely. In the case of
human beings, the cough and great soreness
of the lungs and throat are the most distress
ing features, though most of the other symp-
toms are generally to be traced. Most of the
persons we have mentioned are superintend-
ents of mines and mills, and persons obliged
to have to do with horses, but some have been
complaining of oy IIptuuIo Or tlU ulscasc W HO

A SagaclOuS Dog.

The well known California sheep dealers
Maxwell & Pope, were driving band OF
5000 sheep from Denver westward, when
they encountered severe snow Storm The
sheep scattered to the mountains in bands OF
from 20 to- 100, and the flock became SO
thoroughly separated that in endeavoring to
get them together again after the storm 500
head were missing. Time was precious, and
being owners of fine shepherd dog they de-
tailed him to stay behind, look up the missing
animals and overtake the main herd at his
earliest convenience. The faithful cur at
once comprehended the situation and set out
to accomplish his mission; and the narrator
saysin three days time that "dorgp had got
together and driven! up to his masters over
4OOof the lost sheep; and furthermore, that
teansters who watched his operations aver
thai he would regularly camp with his charge
and allow them to Craze when hungry. while
he would appease his own hunger daily by
sl.ughtering one of the flock, On the fourth.
day he had driven the band up to those under
care of his master, reporting by significant
demonstrations that those still missing were
not I'd be found. ,aI MI, =. . 49,. $50 ~ 3rl

TnF business prospects for the coming sea-
son in Utah are better than any time since
the settlement of the Territory. The Salt Lake
Endoument says: ''In addition to mining
operations, several other enterprises OF a pub
lie nature are projected, which will contrib
ute largely to the general prosperity; among
which are the construction of three or four
narrow-gauge railroads, connecting the Utah
Southern Railroad with several of the most
important mining camps; also one leading
from the city via Tooele, Stockton, Ophir,
Camp Floyd and other points to Phoebe. The
wire edge of our big excitement has by re-
actionary movement been worn off, and from
lhls time henceforward, a healthier condition
OF things is assured. The cry of the Church
press that threatened unfriendly legislation
toward the Mormons has affected and will
continue to affect the mining interests of the
Territory, by discouraging foreign invest
ments, has no foundation whatever The
temporary stagnation has been produced by
tangible and very common causes, and no
one need be afraid to invest his capital in
Utah mines by reason of any such such bug
Dear These are unglossed facts, from which
aiproSperous season in 1873 can be readily
deduced."

Changed Her Mind.

A young lady who arrived in Montana re-
Gently wrote to a friend who resides on the
shores of Lake Erie, 'where the sportive al.
ligatOr wags his tail, as he basks in the genial
rays of tropical sum-" announcing the ex-
tent OF her wanderings, and received the fol-
lowing reply:
travelling so far away from the center of light
| and heat and comfort and refinement and
culture and goodness, etc., etc., Gd n1tn''una,
yclept not Boston but Cleveland. How you
could voluntarily exile yourself from all the
aforesaid, is a deep, dark unfathOmable mys-
terry to myself as well as to the rest of your
friends, who live and move and have their
being in this delightful spot. Perhaps, how
ever, the exile was not voluntary one; per-
haps some cause, as mysterious as the afore-
said, or more mysterious still, over which the
forces of your nature were powerless, led
you on until you reached the final terminus
OF the world, your present abode. 1t is in
deed sad to think of you, buried alive among
the dark, deep and gloomy recesses OF the
Rocky Mountains-I shall GO into mourning
for 80 days"
In reply to the above the Montana Miss re-
marked that she had ''only received seven
teen invitations from gentlemen who wished
to escort her to church the next day, Sunday,
Which remark elected the following: =

The Patent Office has recently issued papers
to California lady, the invention consisting
in rather novel method Of applying medi-
cine externally, for the benefit of certain
class of patients, by means of a specially
adapted towel. This towel is used for dry
ing the person after bathing, and it is
claimed, is medicated with such substances
and by such process that it will arrest con-
tagious diseases, paralysis and local affec-
tions while it imparts at the same time a
healthy action and glow to the skin and frees
it from bad humor. A towel prepared in the
manner specified in this patent will, it is said,
retain its medical virtues effectively during
two months use, when the process of medica-
lion has to be repeated

The Most Destructive Implement of
Modern Warfare.

Yesterday, at Holskie's machine shop,
corner of Cherry and Jefferson streets, says
the New York Times of March 26. trial
was made of new mitrailleur, invented by
J. P. Taylor, of Tennessee. This most de-
structive implement of modern warfare has
quite number of novel features, which dis
tinguish it from the Gatlin or Imperial mi
trail]eurs. One important one is that the
gun barrels are in water casing, so that the
heating of the barrels is impossible. The
other is that the twenty-four barrels, starting
at the breech in circle, at their muzzles, are
grouped in an ellipsc. BY this means, late
raj or horizontal range is. given, instead of
one in which other guns of similar charac-
right angles with the ground. The device
for loading is also exceedingly novel, 1t is
self-charging, something like the Henry rifle.
Metallic cartridges are placed in hollow
tubes, which are fed up to the chambers by
the motion Of lever. A most ingenious de-
vice is used for firing, and on moving crank
and adjusting simple mechanism, the mi
trailleur may either be used to discharge it's
load en- fusiNade, the twenty four shots going
off one after the other, or the whole may be
fired at once. 1t has four chambers, each
one of which can be put instantly in position,
fired, and cleared of its cartridges. In the
fusillade firing, as exhibited yesterday, it dis
charged about 700 rounds minute; when
fired in volley about 1000. The calibre of
cartridge used is A, and at distance of 800
yards the lateral range spread the balls about
35 feet to the right and left of a given centre.
Il is intended for the Vienna Exhibition.
For use against cavalry and infantry it would
be most terrible arm, and it has excited
great interest among our own artillery officers.

About Little Gfrls-By q Little Boy.

[ see a little girl has bin tellin' what she
knows about little boys. Now l want to tell
about little girls. Although they are some.
times very provoking, will not say that
hate 'em no hope not, for always remenl-
Der that my mother was once little girl,
being born when quite young. Little girls
are always on the pout or giggle. You don't
know how to take em. Boys cultivate more
manly persoots than to have dolls and play
houses, as their muscle and so forth, which
girls don't do. They are full of teaze and
cultivate it, when they ought to remember
that they air to be the ''Mothers of America.
For instance, a girl will sing out to feller
when he's coming along from school
'Charley is mad and am glad,
But 1 know whatn please him
A bottle of wine to make him shine
And pretty little girl to squeeze him."
"When Freedom from her mountain
height" and the like of that they won't learn.
Their strong suit is gigggle, if they have any
besides pout. like to see them pout. When
they git me right mad l jis grab em and kiss
EN- and it sets 'em to poutin' for whole
hour You jist ought to see how easy git

a good deal bothered with the nabors' little
girls, for then they all git after him and leaze.
Then they'll sing
What are little girls made Of, made of?
Sugar and spice and everything that's nice,
And that's what little girls made of.
What are little boys made Of made of
Snts and snOts and the skimns of pots,
And that's what little boys are made Of
This always makes me mad and they know
it, but
SIN Adams fall,
We sinned all,
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming DER u.s."
. And besides gigglin' little girls are always
pullin' each other to one side and tellin'
one another something; then they all say O!
o.. or! and look at feller in sich way,
forgettin' all manners. If they do get their
hair mussed it's their own fault was born
an American; live an American; shall
die an American. When my eyes shall be
turned fer the last time to behold the sun in
the heaven, may not see him shining on the
broken and dishonored fragments of once
