ALAS ALAS! FOR POOR HUMAN NATURE
All BUT THERE is SILVER LINING
TO THAT.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-Will you allow me
a word or two in your columns to
thank the many friends who have
done so kindly by me and mine in
consequence of the fire that consumed
all ON the 14th. I assure you sir.
that it is almost worth clean sweep
to have heart beating in gratitude
and to know that such men and wo-
men as Messrs. Gatchell, Stark
weather, Brockett, Doan and L. ST.
Low, with their wives are among one s
neighbors. I don't know the creed
of these folk who have "sought US
out" and "went about doing kindly"
For forms of faith let graceless Zealo.s fight,
he can't be wrong whose life Is in the right.
May the good will OF Him that
dwelt in the bush be theirs.
May it be in the fiual adjustment
that they did it as unto some of his
little ones.
May it be they may never be in as
hot place as was on Saturday
morning last. Yours in haste,
ROBERT BUTCHER.

The Springfield Republican says:
In another column, Abby Smith con-
lnues the story of her plucky protest
against an unjust and iniquitous spOlia-
Lon under the forms of law. Told as
she tells it, it requires neither supple
mentlng nor comment. If any member
OF the voting sex can read il with
amusement, we do not envy the gentle
man his sense of humor. If any woman
can read it without keen sympathy and
Indignation, We pity her lack OF COM
mon, womanly feeling.
Abby Smith and her sister evidently
have very much the same blending OF
enthusiasm and forebOding which we
are accustomed to associate with the
ilea of forlOrn hope. They feel alone;
the whole town is against them; neigh
bors whom they have loaded with kind
nesses look cOldly on them. "It may
well be called battle,n writes Abby in
Il, = to the editor 'and against fear
fui otis.n
fine men and women in Connecticut
who believe in equal rights for both
sexe uffer this foriOrn hope to go down
for la, of proper support and backing
at the r hands, they may az well quit
circul. ting documents and making
speecl and holding conventions.
TalkiBs without doing never accom-
plished anything in this world, and it
never will. Duty here is opportunity as
we'll. The enemy's line has been
broken t its weakest point; obviously,
the onl thing TO be done now is to pour
in the reinfOrcements. There ought to
be such u rally around Abby Smith and
her sister within the next fortnight as
will not only Danish from the minds OF
these ladies all sense of loneliness or
thought of the Poor-house, but will
make male Glastonbury rub the eyes of
astonishment.
If the equal suffrage people of Con
necticut are wise men and women in
their generation, they will see to it that,
when the petition of these ladies comes
before the Legislature, the argument
shall be public, and shall be conducted
ON one side, at least-by the ablest
lawyers that can be procured for love or
money.

happily the means proved sufficient TO
the end.
The weeks of illness which followed,
by destroying first the consciousness of,
and then much of the capacity for mental
suffering, were the salvation of Judith.
Again, mother Nature has been kind, in
providing insensibility to anguish, when
it has become too terrible to be borne
Such too, was the strength and elacticity
Of Judith's constitution, that the Doctor
was more concerned about her GONZALES
cence than he had been about the man
agement of the disease.
''You must be very careful" he often
said to his wife, and the attendants,
"about answering questions, when she
begins to ask them. And she will,
sometime soon, begin to puzzle over,
in her weakened brain, the things she
U;rn, aud the things she cannot remem-
ber. Put her off. Don't talk TO her. If
shegets restless, tell her everything, Mel
lie, and before she gets strong, for she
cannot suffer so much 1Vih hGJ her fac
ulfies, as she could ,Cih all OF them"
"And have some knowledge of these
cases. | know one man on this coast
who lost a number of dear friends in an
Indian massacre, thirty years ago. He
is living still, and passes for a sane man,
but the moment that subject is men
toned in his presence, you can tell by
the insane light in his eye that he is a
lunatic. And he is always trying to
lead you to that subject, and living over
those scenes. He has been living them
over these thirty years. The shock
came upon the man in full health, and
followed, not as i'm this case, by a mer-
ciful insensibility, but by days and
weeks of anxiety, on account of himself
and others. We want to get Miss Miles
used to her bereavement, by beginning
before she is able, physically, to feel a
very great sorrow"

We have before mentioned with pleas
ure aud appreciation the clubOf young
ladies in Boston, which gives its win
tiers to the weekly hearing of wisdom
from the lips of poets and philosophers.
Pretty is the picture of all these fair dis
ciples sitting at the feet of such Gam
aliel as Mr.. Emerson but we submit
that far prettier one is that which we
now get of them in the kitchen. For
there they are. Dropping books for
buns, philosophy for the frying pan,
metaphysics for mutton, art for apple
pie, they are on the high road to such
accomplishments as the widest dreams
of the most unmitigated old bachelor
could not have foretold. Every week
each gentle member of the club contrib
utes something to n feast, breakfast,
dinner, or supper given at the house OF
one of them, and many and merry are
the rivalries in the preparation of that
ambrosial food. So successful have been
/ the effects of these charming amateur
cooks that one of them is about to
gather and publish the recipes en-
| bodying the most delicious results OF
their experiments. "A Cook Book for

Are Men the Protectors Of Women 2

As young woman by the name OF
Caroline Mcdonald was passing up
Main street, on Monday night, in Els
worth, Maine, about eight O'clock, fel-
low standing on the steps Of the City
Hotel accosted her and followed her to
the house of Mr.. John Crippen, where
she resided. When she attempted to
enter the house, she was seized by the
miscreant and dragged in spite of her
resistance to the rear Of the building.
Her Outcries were prevented by the
hands of her assailant grasping her
throat. Fortunately, during the strug-
gle she made herself heard, and on Mrs.
Crippen coming with light, the villain
fled. The young woman when found
was much exhausted and terribly fright
ened; marks and bruises were found on
her throat and body. On Tuesday, one
George Latin was arrested as the
guilty party, examined before Judge
Peters, and the evidence being sufli-
ciently strong against him, he was put
under bonds for his appearance at Court
in the sum of $3.50.
If there are any women who claim
men as the natural protectors of women,
and give that as a reason why woman
should not ask for the exercise of her
right of suffrage, | would refer them to
the enclosed slip cut from the Ellsworth
american of December IL: Within six
hours from the time the ruffian referred
to had his trial, he found two of our
natural protectors in Ellsworth base
enough to sign the bond, and he is now
at liberty. Had he been a man of de-
cent character previous to this outrage,
the small bond which the Court de-
n,anded and the ease with which he
found bail might have had solhe excuse.
But he is notorious for being a drunken
rowdy, and the Judge, the lawyers, and
the men who bailed him out OF jail,
knew the fact.
Is it uncharitabls to quote the old
saying, that "Fellow feeling makes US
wondrous kind ~ Let the respectable
part of the community Of Ellsworth,
who know all the parties, decide the
question.

SLEEPING UNDER BED-CLOTHES.-
There is reason to believe that not few
of the apparently unaccOuntable cases
of scrOfula among children proceed from
the habit of sleeping with the head un-
der the bed-clothes, and so inhaling air
already breathed, which is further con-
terminated by exhalatlons from the skin.
Patients are sometimes given to q SINH
lar habit; and it often happens that the
bed-clothes are so disposed that the pa
tient must necessarily breathe air more
or s contaminated by exhalations
from he skin. a good nurse will be
carefu to attend to this. 1t is an i'm
porta t part, so to speak, of ventilation.
1t ms be worth while to remark that
when lere is any danger of bed sores, a
bIanke should never be placed under
the pat ent. 1t retains dampness, and
acts Il q pOultice. Never use any
thing light blankets for I'd cover
ing for the sick. The heavy impervious
eounterpane is bad for the very reason
that it Keeps the emanatiOns from the
sick pe-son, while the blanket allows
I them to pass through. Weak patients
are invariably distressed by great
weight of bed-clothes, which often pre-
vents their getting any sound sleep
whatever.-1Niss Nightingale.

the clerk with q ~confiding look
"He too much hoppee; all hoppee

the obliging clerk commenced
measuring off musquito-bar, the
delighted heather began hum

thoughto of how he was going to fool
the grashoppers. They had been de-
stroying his garden, and wanting to
purchase some musquito-bar, but

Gle, he brought the destroyer with
him-and the clerk understood in q

A T THE JUNCTION.
The Prophet Beaten in q Land
Speculation.

There has been some little clash
ing i'm Ogden between the Prophet
and the railroad magnates over the
location of the junction of the Cen
trail Pacific and Union P~acificrOads.
A number of the principal officials
of both these roads arrived in Salt
Lake on Thursday, with a view of
comforting with Brigham Young on
the proposed location. On Saturday
they proceed to Ogden to look over
the ground and hold a conference.
But when they met for bust
ness, the Prophet was not
present. This they construed
as an Intentional slight, and
the President of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, was
somewhat roughly criticised. But
the parties came together subse-
auently, and the question was put
soundly to Brigham what induces
ment he could offer for the junction
to be located i'm Ogden. They de-
nanded q liberal gift of land, as
they proposed to put up q fine depot
building, and erect machine shops,
repair shops, and no end of other
works. Five miles west, n or
both ofthe companies owned a fine
body of land, three thousand acres
I'm extent, and this the principal
negotiators thought would be a fine
place for the junction; they could
take all the land they wanted for
their own uses, and sell the rest for
town lots. Mr.. Dillon, President
of the U. P. road, Chief Engi-
neerS ickles and Governor Stanford,
President of the c. P. Road, talked
plainly to the old man; they told
him they wanted a good extent Of
land, and they did not propose to
pay one dollar for it either. Brig
ham wriggled at this. He had
played sharp on the brethren to
get their land, thinking to make a
big thing of it, and now he was
called upon to give the largest por-
ton of it away. To carry the
junction away from Ogden would,
also be to ruin that city, and
this sacrifice the Prophet could
| not listen to. So after considerable
debate, and a resort to his shrewdest
diplomacy. Brother Brigham con-
sented to give over 31S acres of land,
to secure the junction at Ogden, and
have the railroad buildings put up
at that place. Thus Brigham has
been badly euchred in his big land
speculation, but his faithful follow
ers will have to make up the loss to
him. Mr.. Sickles, We understand,
will survey and lay out the ground
i'm a couple of weeks, In order to
commence building. The Ogdenites
have q bright future in store for
them.-SdH Lake Tribune June 4th.

There is no change in the money
market. A cheerful feeling pre-
walls in financial circles as stated in
our previous reports. The banks
have done a better business OH the
whole during the past week than in
any previous week of the season.
Currency continues plenty and dis
count rates easy on good paper.
Gold and governments are re-
ported steady in the east, with very
little fluctuation i'm miscellaneous
securities. Speculation in gold and
securities, as a business, has proved
50 Improbable of late that even
Wall street is settling down to the
basis of legitimate changes in values.
Business in commercial lines con-
tinue brisk, and with the exception
Of sugars, which have advanced
one-half a cent, prices remain nOmi-
nally at quotations
Produce continues to come in lib
e-aly, though much of it is in a bad
condition.
Shippers should remember that
really prime lots of perishable goods
if insecurity packed, reach the mar
ket in a damaged and comparatively
unsaleable condition, while inferior
articles, if securely and neatly put
up, find ready sale. Another hing
to be taken into consideration is the
reputation of the shipper, and if
his goods are always we'll packed
and reliable, they can be sold on
dull days or a glutted market at fair
figures, while the shipments of I'M
known parties must stand over and
be closely scrutinized or sold at a
loss.
