Steve Massett, who is now an
experienced traveller, sends the
following tribute to the National
Steamship Company, whose stea-
mers ply between New York and
England:
"And now a word about the
National Steamship Co. | am
perfectly aware there are many
lines of steamers, all offering their
respective advantages. all assur-
ing the public that theirs is the
safest, surest, best, etc., etc. But
I, as a pretty old traveller, and
having tried all the different COM
panies' vessels, advise my Cali
fOrnia and New York friends to
take one of the splendid steam
ships of the National Steamship
Company, whose agent, F. w. |.
Hurst, of SO Broadway, will, in
the most courteous manner, give
them all the information they
require, and if they can possibly
get the steamer HetUettG, Cap
tain John X. Webster, let them
do so by all means. These steam
ers may not be quite so fast as the
Cunarders or the White Star, but
/ think they are surer, safer. and
the table is finer than ever l have
seen on tHe sea! and they have
never vet lost q snip.
And when you, or any of my
San Francisco friends, come 10
London, make for the office of the
Company, 445 Strand, opposite
the Gharing Cross Hotel, were
the Agent, full hlooded New
Yorker, CS.. ~. .. t.0 " iahti. Is
ever anxious and willing to give
his countrymen and the public
generally all the requisite infor-
nation.

Regular Correspondence of the Record. |
BEAVER, Utah, November IL
| I have spent several hours con-
versing with John D. Lee, the
alleged leader of the Mormon
forces engaged in the Mountain
Meadow massacre. He is comm
ed i'm the little square stone Jail
in Beaver, and is closely guarded
by Deputy Marshal Stokes and
posse. His wife shares his cell,
but will return to her home at
Panguish tomorrow. She is
middle aged, plain looking, home
like woman, and seems very de.
voted to her husband. The cap
ture of this famous man, so cele-
brated for his determination of
character, was planned and effect
ed by a young, handsome Deputy
Marshal named William Stokes.
With five men he proceeded Sc
cretly to Panguish, fifty-five miles
southeast of Beaver. Having
privately ascertained Lees where
abouts, they surrounded the
house and proceeded to search
the premises Lee was advised
of their approach, and hastily con-
cealed himself
In a Chicken CoOP!
In the house were q Henry rife,
a Spencer rife, q sh gun and
brace Of reYOIv6rs all heavily
loaded, bat the man was found IL
me coop, covered With
" Straw, and litter, and barnyard chaff,
And much that wasn't 50 pleasant By half"
Stokes found the irnpromptu
hiding place, and discovering a
small aperture in the side of the
cage, peered in and saw a mans
face. "He will never be taken
alive" has been said of Lee
thousand times. AS he lay on his
side, a Smith & Wesson's five
shooter was seen in his right
hand. Expecting resistance,
Stokes covered 4" the exposed
portion of Lees head with a re-
volver, and ordered him to come
out. The order was repeated
several times, but there was no
of the straw, and no
The five men had by
this time surrounded the cage,
and prOmiscuous array of Hen
ry rifles, shotguns and revolvers
had their muzzles pointed toward
Lees corner of the COOP.
Unconditional Surrender"
Stokes told Thomas VIM, one
of his men, to go into the cage |
and disarm Lee, adding, If he
makes single move, I'll blow |
his brains out" This was lit
tie too much for even Lees i'm
perturable nature. Hold on,

Beaver"
Lee-'On what authority?"
StOkes-"A warrant"
Lee-'Read it."
The warrant was read, and Lee
said, Cali right, I want to 60"
The warrant was based on an in
dictment issued by the Grand Ju-
ry OF the Second Judicial District,
at the September term, accusing
Lee of participating in the whole
sale murder known as
The Mountain Meadow Massacre,
Thus after the lapse of seven.
teeG years and one month, the
fist of the Mountain Meadow
murderers found himself a prison
rim the hands of Federal officials.
Justice is blind and slow, but fear
fully sure. With his we'll known
politeness and hospitality, he had
his wives prepare b0untiful re-
past for his captOrs. While par
taking of this, an immense crowd
Of people cOngregated around the
house. They were his friends,
and an outbreak seemed immi-
nent. Lee did all he could to
quiet the people, and assured them
of his firm conviction that all
would end we'll.
Lees Sword and Honor,
No irons were or have been
placed on the notorious prisoner.
He said at the outset. "Gentle-
men, I VIII give you ms word and
honor that will 60 resisting
ly to Beaver, and that will make
no attempt to escape True to
his word, he came v ,hOut a show
of resistance. He snaaSs in the
highest terms Of the bravery ant
feSOiute courage OF Stokes and his
assistants, VIM, Rodgers, Fish,
Lefevre and Evans. Several
times he referred to them as "per-
feet gentlemen" He says that
when the truth is known, the
world will find him innocent of
macy things which for years has
been laid at his feet.
Justice and q Fair Trial
Is all he desires. He says that
others far more guilty than him
self have remained unsupported,
while he has borne the stigma
and reprOach. He was born in
Kaskaskia, Randolph county, Il-
linOiS His father was educated
in Baltimore, Maryland, and was
directly descended from the Gen.
Robert E. Lee stock. His grand
father, on his mothers side, was
of Irish blood, and for years was

grandfather, John Doyle Lee. AT

NEW GRANGE DEGREE.

An exchange from the blue grass
regions of Kentucky has Il nice little
account-purc romance of q pleasant
occurrence in one of the lodges. Quite
recently while there came Il momenta-
ry llnl in the proceedings II young
brother and sister of the order walked
to the front of the master and were
united in marriage. The entire audi
encc were taken by surprise, having
had no intimation that there was to be
a wedding. Soft eyes began to dart
love glanccs around the grange, and
diflident bachelors exclaimed that the
new order exceeded their most SAN
guinc expectations in providing life
partners for the faint-hcartea. No one
need say after this that there is any
danger of the Grange idea becoming
polluted with politics. No sir, not
while there are such chances for using
the more improved as we'll as old styles
OF agricultural implements such as
tiireshing machines and cradles as il
now offered to the Patrons Of Hus
bandry.

LITTLE STORY BY AEECK STE.
PHENS.

Wash. Cor. st. Louis Republican.
Aleck Stephens has got 50 he can sit
up again, and, though not able to sit in
Congress, he can tell good story. He
explained the other night, apropos OF
the "woman's temperance war''-how
the war started. When the Georgia
delegation was on its way to the Gin
by way of Washington, and Toombs
gave them dinner. Among those
present were Howell Cobb, Gen. Gard
ner of Port Hudson fame, and Stephen
Douglas. After the flowing bowl had
been passed about frequently and liber-
ally, and the three or four prominent
Presidential candidates in the party
had got we'll warmed up, Gen. Gardner
proposed Il toast: "Here's hoping you
may all live to be Presidents of the
United States" All rose, and as he
raised the glass to his lips, Douglas
turned to Cobb and said, "Our friend
wishes you very long life, Mr.. Cobb"
Cobb set the glass down on the table,
glarcd ut the Little Giant an instant,
and then joined in the drink and tho
laugh that went round ut his expense.
"But," said 4Alecl>, tenderly lifting
so bad, "Cobb never forgot nor forgave
that bon mot. He treasured it up all
through Buchanan's administration,
and it was often the cause Of insidious
advice from the Cabinet officer to the
President, prejudicial to the great Se,,-
ator. And it ranked in Cobb's bosom
when he planned tho tactics that pre-
vented Douglas from getting the
Charleston nomination by breaking up
the convention. 1t did more than any
other personal thing to split the DEM
ocratic party, to elect Lincoln, to pre-
cipitate the war, and to strand us
where we arc.''
And then the old mans eyes grew
sort of dim, and the light was gone |
out of them, as though his soul had |
gone back to the times of which he |
had been telling. 1t won't be long
before 1t will go out to places of which |
there is no telling. And, take it all in |
all, ! don't know but that the world
will be something-a tritie only, it may
for his having lived in it.
At all events he won't be with us long,
and every young man who has an am
bition to figure in public affairs should
try to find some opportunity to see and
talk with Aleck Stephens as he fades
away, and before there is nothing left
of him to talk to. He is Il rare relic,
and he delights to talk to young men.

MONROE, LOUISIANA, FRIDAY, MARCH l3, 1874.
diana (NIortonl had said: "Pass this

Ulana (NOrtOnl noO Solu. "IaSs tnls
bill and there will be bloodshed in
louisiana He heard the Republi.
cans were all in favor of Kellogg, and
the respectable Democrats We're all in
favor of him. If they are, he asked.
who is to cause bloodshed? He could
be elected fairly, and Congress would
sustain him in his high Office.
The speech of the Senator, (Morton)
about bloodshed exceeded anything he
(Carpenter) had heard since he left the
nursery. 1t reminded him of the old
song, "Fee, Fl, 70, fun, 1 smell the
blood of an Englishman; blood,
blood, blood.' He said four times did
the Senator expect to influences the
Senate by any such argument. There
would be no blood shed by new cleo
ton. The Government could enforce
it by the army and navy if necessary.
II not, this nation had better furi its
banners, and put its affairs in tho hands
of receiver. Carpenter then read
from Il speech made by Kellogg III the
Senate, in 1868, in which he said, all
the people of the State wanted was n
fair election. In concluding his argu-
ment, Carpenter said, Congress was in
predicamcnt where it could not stop.
j louisiana had but one Senator here,
and the constitution says it must have
two.
The Senator from New jersey Ore
linghuysen) had said he would not
vote to seat Pinchback, and by that
declared that there was no republican
form of government in Louisiana. BY
seating Finchback, the Senate would
have to recognize Kellogg; by seating
McNIillen, it would have recognized
McEnery; but by refusing to sit either,
it declared there had been no election.
Was it wise to adjourn this vcNed ques-
tion into the troubles of the Presiden-
tial election: 1t was not probable
there would be the same unaninlity.
The question should be settled now.
He had no personal feelings in the
matter. His relations with Kellogg
were of the most friendly character,
but he wanted the Congress of the
United States to do its duty, and order
an honest election.
Mr.. Frelinghuyscn said he desired to
speak on the subject, but yielded to Mr..
Cameron, who moved that the Senate
proceed with the consideration Of tho
bill.

4 WOODEN RAILROAD.

The Clarendon, 5. c., Press contains
lcnthy account of the wooden rail
road or tramWay which hns been lately
built in that section, and is a complete
success:
t'The Carolina Central Railroad had
been allowed to drop through the hands
of the original projectors, and II consid-
cradle amount of cutting out and grads
ing had been accomplished, ,whenNIessrs.
Land & Pritchett, large turpentine dis
tillers, doing n very large business pur-
to construct u road that would take
their products to market. The road
from Manning to Lanes Turnout, on
the Northeastern Railroad, was cleaned
out and graded and laid with scantling.
This road Is fifteen and a half miles
long. The bed Is constructed precise
ly as all other railroads are. The whole
structure above the bed is precisely
similar to other railroads, except, in
place of iron, this road has wooden
stringers, four or five inches, fastened
down to the crossties by long iron spikes
passing through both stringers both
steady and firm. These stringers are
five inches upon their face, and tho
tracks or wheels of the running stock
are five inches upon face. The friction
in running being distributed over wide
surfaces, the injury to the rails will be
much less. The flanges to the wheels
are two and half inches deep, thereby
preventing any probability of running
off. A portion of the road has been in
operation five months, over which
trains have been running daily, and
most of the stringers arc smooth.
The rolling stock on the road is com-
mon, but quite ehectual. The engine
is worth only eighteen hundred dollars
but is sufficient to carry seven or eight
cars, loaded, ut the rate of fifteen miles
per hour. The road cost about twelve
hundred dollars per mile. BY this
fifteen thousand pounds can be sent
twice day.
