careful hostess, you never mean to
keep callers waiting; but if they
come when the baby is on the eve of
dropping to sleep, or you are in the
midst of planning dinner with the
cook, you must delay little, while
they are reduced to staring out of
the window, or to an involuntary eff

Une1peeted Elements or Hnnpsna.u.

1
Life is full of surprises. In the
unlooked-for thing, the unrecognized
value in the familiar thing, we have
hints IN thousand ways of this Ell.
ement of our life, the unsought. the
uncalculated, the unprepared-for. L
has its dark side, l know; the sad
disappointment, the unlooked-for
trouble, but quite as often is it the
undreamed-of flooding our soul with
gladness. But even of the dark
side, the disappointed hope, the un-
expected sorrow, we have to say that
that also bears in its heart the un-
looked-for good-the still more un.
expected peace. Even the anticipat-
ed eyil--before the coming of which
we have trembled as something We
could not bear-when it has CONS
has brought with it an unexpected
strength. Gods hand was there
the secret might which he had set in
the depths of the soul, or the hidden
safeguard whereby we are shielded
from feeling more than we can en-
duTe. 1t is not all that we dreaded:
and the tears wherewith we water
the garden bed beneath which = dear
hope is laid themselves flow into a
river of life; bear us out upon the
deep ocean of God. Next to the lev
in the discovering of unexpected
love, l suppose the highest may be
that of the discovery of unexpected
truth. Old Archimedes went only
for bath, but found a truth that
sent him flying with joy through the
streets of Syracuse, and he put such
life into the word Eureka, which he
shouted that day, that it has lived
until now. And not into the lives of
great men only, into all our lives. IN
many simple familiar, homely ways,
God, who has made us what we are.
infuses this element of Joy from the
surprises of life, which Unexpectedly
brighten cur days and fill our eyes
with light. He drops his added
sweetness into his children's cup, and
makes it run over. The success we
were not counting on; the blessing
we were not trying after; the strain
of music in the midst of drudgery:
the beautiful morning picture or sun
set glory thrown in as we pass to or
from our daily business; the un-
sought word of encouragement or ex-
preston of sympathy; the sentence
that meant for us more than the
writer or speaker thought-these
and hundred others that every ones
experience can supply are instances
of what mean. You may call it
accident or chance-it often is; you
may call it human goodness-it often
is, but always, always call it Gods
love, for that is always in it. These
are the overlooking riches of his
grace-these are his free gifts.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Stewart, of Nevada, offered the follow
ing resolution, which was agreed to, call
ing on the Secretary Of the Interior for
information concerning the establish
mept of an Indian reservation on the
Muddy river, in Nevada, and how many
settlers were thrown out by its establish
ment.
1t is about time some searching inves-
tigstion was made into this matter. 1t
may be all right, but some OF those con-
cerned say not. A rigorous inquiry will
DO no harm in any case. How singular
it is, as we remarked the other day, that
every thing connected with the Indians
turns out to be swindle. Take a few
dozen wretchei Indians, that to feed and
clothe in good style would cost but little
and the invariable result is that an
enormous expense is occurred, somebody
steals themselves rich, and the Indians
go naked and hungry. The Courier
Journals suggestion that every one con
nected with the Indian service should b,
hanged, it might be an extreme measure
but it would be remarkably useful, for a
long as there is any Of them left to trans
nit the consagion of stealing. it wi

DON'T LIKE 'EM.

That sadly maligned individual, that
suffering saint Ben Butler, doesn't like
newspapers. He says that they know
nothing. They, however, know enough
to expose Buffers rascality. and that is
gha, makes him so furious against them.
They showed up his blatant braggery as
a General. his thievery as an Official. his
proiligacy as a politician, his utter and
total want of principle and honesty in
any public affairs in which he was con-
cerned, and Ben feels pretty hot at the
press. He don't like it Bit Thank
God he does not. So long, and only so
long as the public press denounces
crime and dishonesty in all its thousand
phases, aud calls for the punishment OF
the guilty there is hope, for there must
be q sound public feeling at the bottom
in favor of right. and the condemnation
of the wrong. But let the time come
when all the journals become democrat
lied by official corruption, and seek
rather to gloss over and excuse, than eI'
pose and extirpate the corruption OF
public men. then indeed will dark era
of misfortune be at hand. True, many
papers are already devoted to this vile
use, but in the majority Of cases the
voice of the public press is invariably
-
evil deer, and to denounce their crimes
OF course. like Butler, these offenders
will not ike this discipline, but they
with Butler, will have to stand it wheth
er or no. For with him, while they pre-
tend to scott a, and defy public opinion
they tremble before its fierce blasts o.
indignation, as seaweed before the 81
rocco.

On Tuesday, Nick Lawless-whose
trial for the killing OF Doc" Snively,
took place in the Tooele County Probate
Court last week, and resulted in the de-
PENDANT being convicted Of manslaughter
and sentenced to one years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary-was taken be-
fore his honor, Judge Mexican, on a writ
of habeas corpus, and, it is perhaps need
less to remark. was discharged. Oar
Chief Justice still fails to see the evil OF
his way and. therefore, repents not.
The Judge will not have criminals tried
in bis court, and if tried in the Proba tie
Courts he discharges them on habeas
corpus, and thus the world goes on and
crime goes UNPUBLISHED in Utah.
1t is aboat time that something was
done to place the Courts of Utah in q
working condition. There are faults We
have no doubt, and very grave ones, both
in the Mormon authorities and the Fed
eral officers Of Utah. The first are no
doubt mulish, stupid and fanatical. and
the latter are corrupt, INSCRIPTIONS and
utterly cireless respecting the evils their
disputes may inaict upon the interests Of
the Territory. It IS six to one and half a
dozen to the other. Both wrong and to-
tally unfit to control or direct the affairs
of the Territory with which they unfor.
tunately have been entrusted. Congress,
il it does its duty "a most unusual
. event., will pass an act legislating the
whole mass of them out of Office, send
ing them packing bag and baggage, anc
provide the machinery for a new Set O
officers that viii neither steal, take brides
or show partiality. A condition o
things that certainly cannot now be said

The yETo.-In the last issue Of the
Bulletin which reached Phoebe we find
at length Governor Booths reasons for
vetoing the Harbor Commissioners Bill.
1t is mastery document, full Of sound
sense, and gives irretutable reasons for
the propriety Of the course that he has
taken. Its great length forbids our at
tempting to publish it in full, and syn
opsis would neither do the message or
the subject justice. This, however,we can
say that if any one carefully peruse it, no
matter what his party leanings may be,
he cannot fail to recognize q clear, can
did and able exposition of the powers
and duties OF the several branches Of the
Government. If, when at Washington.
Booth sticks to and practices the con-
cIusions lie reaches in his message, he
will be of the greatest benefit, not only
to his constituents but to the country at
large.
