Old Leisure"

Surely all other leisure is hurry. COM
pared with a sunny walk through the
fields from " afternoon church AS such
walks used 10 be in those old ~leisurely
times. when the boat, gliding sIeepily
along the canal. was the newest lOcOmO-
tive wonder; when Sunday books had
most OF them old brOwn-leather covers
and opened with remarkable precision, al
ways in one place. Leisure is gOne-gOne
where the spinning-u heels are gone, and
the pack horses. and the peddler, who
brought bargains to the door o. quiet af-
ternoons. Ingenious philosophers tell
you, perhaps, that the great work of the
steam engine is to create leisure for man
kind. Do not believe them; it only ere
ates a acuum for eager thought to rush
in. Even idleness is eager now-eager
for amusement; prone to excursion rains
art museums and exciting novels. "Old
Leisure" was quite a different ~persOnage;
he only read n newspaper, innocent OF
leaders, and was free from that sensation
which we call past-time. He was a con-
CempIallVt Selllltlldl. vi tACtiltiI diSco-
ton, happy in his inability to know the
cause of things, preferring the things
themselves. He lived chiefly in the coan
try, and was fond of sauntering by the
fruit tree wall and seeming the apricots
when they were warmed by the morning
sunshine, or of sheltering himself under
the orchard boughs at noon, when the
summer pears were falling. He knew
nothing of weekday services, and thought
none the worse of the Sunday sermon if
it allowed him to sleep from the text to
the distinguishing the afternoon service
best, because the prayers were the short
est-for he had an easy, jolly conscience /;
not being made squeamish by doubts and
qualms and lofty aspirations. Life was
MOI a task to him, but a s~inecure !; he fin
gered the guineas in his pocket, and ate
his dinners and slept the sleep of the ire
spOnsible: for had he not kept up his
character by going to church on the sum
day afternOons?-George Eliot.

While the general facts of the Mountain

While the general facts of the Mountain
Meadow massacre have long been admit
ted, it has been contended by the Nor
mons and their defenders that Brigham
Young knew nothing about it; while on
the other hand it has been vehemently as
serted that it was accomplished by his eX-
press command. 1t is certain that a large
portion of the Mormons living in the Ter
ritOry at the time of the murders were
greatly shocked when they became known,
and the general impression among I'M
prejudiced persons his been that tie act
was committed without the knowledge of
Young, who, it is thought. vas certainly
too ShreWd a man to cOuntenance such
atrOciOus treachery and cruelty to lnnO-
cent women and children. The evidence
of Smith, however. if it is to be credited,
proves that Brigham Young was at least
an accessory after the fact, for he distinct
ly swears that, in company with Lee and
another man, he called on Young in Salt
Lake City, Lee having previously reported
the facts in full, and received from him
instructions as to the disposition Of the
property captured from the emigrants,
and at the same time a warning against
talking about the affair, even among
themselves.
In 1859, Judge Cr~adlebaugh, a Federal
judge appointed by Buchanan, attempted
to bring the perpetrators Of this horrible
crime to justice, but failed. 1t is doubted
wheti4er the present trial will result in
the conviction of Lee and his associates,
since eight of the jurors are MormOns;
while it is said that some of them are near
relatives of persons who are deeply impli-
Gated in the murders.-NeaD York Sum.

TraQic Death of an Inventor.

A lamentable accident occurred at TOu-
Ion on July 8, by which NJ. Leon Jacque-
MIN, s~ub-Lieutenant in the French navy,
and two men, lost their lives. That
young officer, who had highly distinguish
ed himself in the service, and who fought
in the campaign of 1S70-71 under General
Faidherbe, and received a terrible wound
at the battle of Saint-Quentin, had, since
his recovery, invented a prOjectile torpedo.
This terrible missive was to be fired frOma
mortar, and to explode by simple contact
with the water. The sensitive substance
which was to fire the charge is phosphur-
ct of calcium, which ignites simply from
the moisture in the breath. On the day in
question the deceased was preparing one
of the missiles for a decisive experiment,
and a large number of officers were collect
ed TO witness the result. He, with his two
assistants, was in a room of the arsenal
completing his preparation, when sudden
ly a terrific report was heard, and the
building fell in a heap of ruins. When
the rubbish could be cleared away only a
few biackened scraps of burned flesh
could be found, except the head OF Lieu
tenant Jacquemim, which had escaped in
iury.

Manners in Travelling.

There are few situations in which peO-
pie are placed that so thoroughly bring
out and show up their honest selves as a
long j%Ournay in a stage-COach or a railway
car. Ii there is selfishness, or meddie-
s0meneSs, or cynicism, or ir%ritability in
ali Individual, it is as sure to manifest
itself as do the opposite traits of benev-
olence. fOrbearance, graciOusnesS, and
amiability. There are certain incOnve-
niences that all alike must suffer from when
travelling. but, as a general rule, those
who endure with them the most patiently
are free from those same Inconvenience
at home, and though they suffer most
keenly from them when away from home,
they keep silence. 1t is a fair inference to
make that the lOudest in complaints OF
dust, flies. noise, bad fare at lunch houses,
u~ncOngenial associations, and broken
sleep, come rsm homes where these are
the rule and not the exception. The par
venu may be known when travelling by
snowy dress, barbaric display of jewelry,
elaborate and pOmpOuS manner, and a

one of these signs will be manifest in your
true lady or gentleman, who will be at
tired plainly, be quiet and reserved in
manner and avoid notice as much as pos
siblc. Around the truly gentle there will
be an air of refinement, of courtesy, and
of modesty, which will act as an iHipene-
rable barrier against ru!enesS of all sorts
so that a person of this character ma,'
travel from end to end of the land in per-
feet security from unseemly intrusion.
There is very much more TO be learned
in travelling than many persons think.
One can almost always find by deXtrOuS
management an intelligent. cOmmunica-
tive fellOw-paSSenger, who will give valu-
able information of the localities along
the route, and interesting character studies
of the inhabitants. Conversation on gen
eral topics can be carried on with perfect

knowledge acquired. The men and wO-
men who recognize every other man and
woman as human, of like interests and
