Helena, Montana, Thursday, June 18, 1874.


The passage in the Lower House of Con
gress of the Poland bill relating to Utah af-
fairs produced great sensation in Salt Lake
city. The Tribune on the I'd issued an extra
headed: 'Glory to God Our Liberties at Last
Delivered-Ctah Relieved from Polygamy
and Slavery" ETC., etc-and the Gentiles re-
joiced in frantic style. The Mormons were
correspondingly depressed, and the authori-
ties locked the City Hall building against
Chief Justice McKean for court purposes,
creating much indignation. The Tribune
extra reads as follows:
This is great and glorious day for the
people of Utah. Congress, speaking in the
sovereign name of forty millions, has remem
bered the SORROWS of this cnslaved Territory,
listened to the appeals of loyalty, and now in
the plentitude of legislative munifcence, has
proclaimed to the American people that no
longer will the last, the f0ulest relic of bar
barism be permitted to tester on the escutch-
con of Freedom. Emancipation, SO long
prayed for, has now come to the cnthralled,
and Utah henceforth takes her place in the
majestic column of progressive communities
Her people, sheltered by the National care,
will soon recognize in our bcncficent institu-
tions an allegiance loftier than obedience ever
gave to priest or pontiff. They will come to
understand that the grace of the Republic is
the best gift of God to man, that true citizen
ship is their natural inheritance, and the Fed
eral power the strongest and gentlest suprem-
acy ever devised for human guidance. Let
US rejoice and congratulate each other from
end to end of the Territory, on the work OF
xAS. ~ .luv ~, T0u .rrooo

teived this afternoon, brought the glad It'd

James Lick. of San Francisco. recently
filed deed by which he conveys the whole of
his property in trust to administrators, for
the benefit Of the people, either directly or
through educational or charitable institutions.
The specific donations provided, exclusive or

amount to $1.76O,OOO. OF this large sum
100000 is appropriated to the completion
and equipment of the Lick Observatory; $780,
600 goes to the Protestant Orphan Asylum of
San Francisco; $25,000 to the San Jose Or
phan Asylum; $25, 900 to the Ladies' Protec-
ton and Relief Society; $4,000 to the Me-
chanics Library Association; $4,000 to the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami

mother. sister and grandfather; 100000 to
the erection of an Old Ladies Home; $3.50
900 for the establishment of free baths in San
Francisco; Sl5O.OOO for q bronze monument
to tie memory of Francis Scott Key, the
author of the "Star Spangled Banner; $751;
600 for bronze monument COmmemoratlng

tory 10 the present time; $500. 900 to the Csl-
fornia School Of the Mechanic Arts; and the
remainder of his property in equal shares to
the California Academy of Sciences, and The
Californa Pioneers, the donor reservlng 70
himself ar income of S25, 900 until his death.
The Sacramento Record, referring to these
hcquests, says:
"rhc distribution of his vast wealth which
Mr.. Lick has seen fit to make, is in the main
characterized by sterling sagacity and good
sense. The donations to the various schools
ot art and mechanics arc noble and wise.
The provision for free baths for San Fran

the expenditure of $15O,OOO upon monu-
mcnt 10 the author of the 'Star-Spangled
Banner" j. somewhat astonishing, to say the
least; nor is the appropriation of $3.50, V0 tor
an historic monument much less curious.
1t is no, that there may not be a certain pro-
pricty in these ideas. but that when the dis
position. during the lifetime of the owner, OF
So valuable a property, is concerned, there
NAV arise difficulties out of these provisions.
The spirit which inspires the deed. however,
is deserving of the fullest recognition. 1t is
in the nature OF IN example which cannot
but stimulate public spirit and philanthropy;
and. though it is well 10 bear in mind that not
every wealthy man is as free from family
claims rs Mr. Lick. it is good thing for
society that such men do occasionally appear
if only Ia prove that the lust of money getting
has not utterly extinguished true patriotism
and generosity, and to show that there are
ways of spending money as conducive to thu
satisfaction of the posscssor rs those which
ordinarily prevail, and altogether more con
ducyc to the welfare OF the people.

There is little fish, the ch;etodon, abound
ing in the eastern seas. from Ceylon to Japan,
which secures its prey by means of an instru-
ment like the blowpipe used by mischievous
school boys for projecting peas and other
means of torment The nose of the fish is q
kind of beak, through which he has the power
of propelling drop of water with force
lowing it. His aim is accurate, and rarely
misses his object. The unsuspecting fly sits
on spray of weed, twig, or a tuft of grass,
near the water, pluming himself in the warm
rays of the sun. The fish cautiously places
himself under the fly, stealthily projects his
tube from the water, takes sure aim, and lets
fly. Down drops the little innocent to be swal-
lowed by the fsh.-Ga1axy for Juns

From the Manchester Guardian April 30.
Mr.. Webster, Broughty Ferry, near Dun
dee, has received letter from his son, who
was second mate of the Clyde ship Arracan,
burned at sea on her voyage from Shields to
Bombay with coal. The Arracand left Shields
on the llth Of September last. On the 14th
of February her cargo ignued. On the 2C:h
she was on fire from stem to stern, and the
crew were compelled to abandon her. They
left in three boats. The first, under the COM
mand of the captain, was picked up by the
City of Poonah, and the men were landed at
Alden; the gig, commanded by the chief off,
Ger, made the land at Cochin; but the pinnace,
under the charge of the second mate Mr..
Webster, provisioned for only seventeen days
drifted about in the Indian Ocean for thirty
three days, until fallen in with by the City OF
Manchester and landed at Calcutta. When
picked up the poor fellows were Cos miles
from the nearest land, and were in sad con-
dition. Mr. Webster, in his narrative says:
I'm addition to myself, there were three
men and boy on the 10th of March. The
men cast lots as to who should be killed, and
the lot fell upon the boy. would not allow
them 10 kill him and threatened to shoot the
first man who should lay . hand on him.
Things went on in this way for two days,
when one of the men tried to sink the boat.
and said he would have the boys life in twelve
hours. Ipresented my gun at him, and had
ro sooner done 90 than bird aew over tho
boat. fred at it and killed it. 1t was in
stantly devoured, feathers, bones and oil. We
subsisted after this on barnacles, which ad-
hered to the sides and bottom of the boat, and
on sea blubbcr, which was ravenously laid
hold of as it foated past. Delirious with hum
ger, one of the men, named Layford, asked
to be killed. Another named Davis struck
him on the head with Delaying pin. The
blood was caught in tin and eagerly drunk
between the two. threw the tin overheard.
These two men fought aud bit one another.
They then shook hands and laughed and
kissed each other like msdmen.' At last, "
says Mr.. Webster I'VE were, through the
mercy of God, picked up by Capt. Hardie, of
the City of Manchester, by whom We were
very kindly treated and brought to Calcutta. !"
The surgeon of the steamer which rescued
the men says they were in wretched condi-
ton. They could not stand on their feet,
their eyes started from their sockets, and they
worc pc, feet ske,oons. Altogether they pre-
sented the most psi.ful sight he ever behcld
The most cautious treatment had to bs en-
ployed to bring about t.eir recovery.

1t is good thing to have unlimited credit,
but better still to have ready money on hand
for emergencies. The richest man on tho
globe, Baron Rothschild, learned this lesson
one day when he chanced to ride in public
conveyance, and found out that he had mot
. red in his pocket. The driver was furious,
and demanded his pay. Rothschild told him
his rame, and gave him his card. Il never
heard of you, and never want to again but
want my pay, and must have it," and he
looked down threateningly. The money king
was in haste He had only an order for q
million, and offered the driver coupon for
fifty thousand francs : to change" The dri.
YER started, the passengers laughed, and just
then an acquaintance come up. from whom
he borrowed six sous, and paid the angry
Jehu. If it is convenient for even a Roths-
child to be without money in his pocket, you
may be sure it will be even more 50 for you.
The world never respects a state of impe-
cunicsity." 1t is most uncomfortable state
to be in. If you have an income Of any sort,
try not to spend every cent. Have few dol
lars always about you for emergencies that
will always be happening. If you gather it
up as the children do their pennies, one at
time, keep your stock good. When you must
break into your lsst five dollar bill, replace it
as soon as you cal. 1t adds comfort moro than
you ever guess wien you feel that there 10 o
snug sum that you can draw from in
case of urgent ned. Philosophy, religion or
poetry to the contrary, there is no use in be-
ing penniless. b. common prudence, most
people of industrious habits can keep little
ahead for . rainy day.

Flight to America to Escape tho Pro-
vest Maroh0l.

A letter from Warsaw of April 16, in the
Prussian Borsenzeitung, says that the intro
duction of the new law establishing unlver-
sal military service in Russia continues to
occupy public attention in every part OF the
Empire The numerous regulations which
are constantly being published on the sub
ject are discussed in the newspapers with an
amount of care which shows the absorbing
interest that has been excited among all
classes by the new measures.
The reform has, on the whole, been well
received, but it meets here and there with op-
position Numerous German cOlOnlsts have
already emigrated to America in order to es-
cape the obligation of serving in the Kus-
sian army. Their example is being followed
by the Tartars of the Crimca, whose tradi-
tional antipathy for the Russians renders it
peculiarly distastcful to them to put on the
Russian uniform. Apart from this they have
a horror of military service, and they fear
that as soldiers they would be compelled to
abiure Mahometanism and to eat pork. The
Tartars who are eligible for service in the
army are, therefore, leaving their country in
large numbers and emigrating to Turkey.
Some of them have for the present left their
women and children behind, while others,
after selling al their immovable property,
have taken their families with them. The
emigration to Turkey is especially popular in
the Caucasus, where tits feared that the whole
population of the Kuban, amounting to about
10000 persons, will rise against the Russian
authorities, if the government should make
any opposition to their departure. The arms
for this purpose, it is said, haye already been
secretly purchased, and the Circassians are
subscribing to y fund which is destined to
cover the expenses of the proposed emigration.
