visit to Promontory, on the Cen
trial Pacific Railroad, and was
charmed with the manners and
customs-almost patriarchal IN
their frank simplieity-of tho peo-

hotel of the town. 1t was a nice
place, and the landlord was a very
agreeable and friendly sort of a man
Says Dan: When dinner was ready
the landlord came out into the
street in front of his hotel with n
double-barreled shot gun. Raising
the gun above his head he fired of
ono barrel. l said TO him: what do
you do that forF Said he: 10 call

= From all accounts, there will un
doubtedly be great deal of suffering
by the poorer classes Of people in
Kansas and Nebraska during the ap-
preaching Winter. In many portions
of the West the people are destitute
of nearly everything necessary to sus-
tain life, the grasshoppers having de-
stroyed the crops to such an extent as
to render the country destitute of pro
visions. Many of those who can, are
leaving the country and coming east
ward, but there are those who have
not even the means of getting away,
they have neither money nor teams to
bring them away with, and unless as
sistance is given them, they will be re-
duced almost, if not altogether to
starvation, and sin some cases to ma
kedness-prOvisions and clothing are
what this class of unfortunates must
have, for the wolf is already at theil
doors. 1t is to be hoped that some
thing will be done to relieve them, ant
that it shall rot be said that people il
any portion of the United States-sc
abundantly blessed in most sections
with plenty--have been permittedstC
starve to death or to perish for wan
of food and clothing.

A Growing Family.

On Thursday last the cable announc-
ed the birth of another grandchild
for Queen Victoria, boy, the first ba
by of the Duke and Duchess of Edin-
burgh, who were married at ST. Peters
burg, on the 23d of January last
This new scion of royalty increases
the number of Queen Victoria's grand

ing. The Queens eldest child, the

ond child, the Prince of Wales mar
ried to the Princess Alexandria of

ers, one son being dead. Next comes

Duchess Maria of Russia, with one son
born on last Thursday morning. Fl
nally. the Queens fifth child, the
Princes Helena, wife of Prince Chris
tian, of Schleswig- -Holstein, has had
two sons and two daughters, all O.
whom are living. The Princess Lou
ise, the Queens sixth child, wife of the
Marquis of Lorne, is not yet the head
of q family The other three children
of the Queen, the Duke of Connaught
Prince Leopard and Princess Beatrice
are unmarried, Altogether, Queer
Victoria has thirty-two children ant
grandchildren living, which consti
tutes very respectable sized family
even for queen.

she now has, that she will regain her
former strength and glory again in the
work of her real mission. The pOis-
ones tongue of SANDER has been at
work quite too long, and devils have
smiled and glorifed while heavy
things have been laid at the doors of
her ministers and members. This
tongue is devouring fire, and it tar
nishes wherever it touches. It often
exercises its fury on the good more
earnestly than on the bad, the profane
rejoice in bringing the sacred down on
level with themselves. They black
en- what they cannot consume, and in
their vileness and jealousy, touch the
ashes of the remaining glory of pure
character, and if possible make them
to emit the poisonous odor of defama
ton. 1t is easy to splash mud but
how much better and more manly it
would be to help a man keep his coat
clean.
My health is quite good in this
Northwestern climate. My difficulties
under which I have struggled for SO
many years are very much improved,
SO can do my work with very little
difficulty. The double question OF
doubt that haunted me so long in re-
gard to changing my place of living
and giving up my old and dear friends
in my native State, has been partly an
swered already. Blue skies and pure
air are common, almost, as the morn
ing and evening salutations of a hap
py home. The mountain breezes and
bright sunshine join in chasing away
the seemingly dark providence tina
sent me here, and I am waiting impa
tiently for the fuller dawn that shall
dispel my night of disease and give
me the cool pure air of health again
Yet with all my hopes in this direc
ton, l find myself turning with fire
quent and eager gaze to the old State
and friends from whence l came.
look up at the jagged rocks frowninG
down upon US and showing their shad
ows in the waters of the Mississippi
and think of the friends and associa
tions of lifetime lelt behind them
But the rosy hue of the sunlight o
friendship is here, the sparkling sta
of comfort comes out, the curtains o
night and loneliness at first felt, ar
slowly being lifted, and the Landscape
gladdens as 1 tread it. While the voic
of love, though among strangers
greets my ear, and family and friends
with song and prayer, Thanksgiving
and praise, go up to the great Fathe
of Mercies and of love. How ofte
in this life He makes us to realize ths
the moments of the greatest dis
couragement and aff1iction are tn
moments when His help is neares
to those who are listening in the silen
, darkness for His voice, and reachin
f out in love to find His hand of helI
