ANEW FAMILY STORY PAPER!
TIE FAMILY VISITOR.

In order to meet the requirements of large
class of readers who take no interest in much OF
the reading matter with which the inside pages OF
the ENQUIRER are necessarily filled, we have
determined 10 commence the publication, on the
first Of January, 1876, Of new paper, to be called
the FAMILY VISITOR, which, besides contain
ing matter prepared expressly for it, will also be
made up from the LITERARY AND M1SCEL-
LANEOUS DEPARTMENTS OF THE ENQU1R-
Err, thus affording purely Literary and Mscel-
laneous publication, entirely devoid of local and
other matter unadapted to the tastes of the gener-
al reader. To accomplish this object, therefore,
the FAMILY VISITOR will contain no matter
of local character, either of the affairs of this or
adjoining counties, nor will there be any adver-
tisements ofa local nature admitted in it's columns.
Tt is the proprietor's purpose, by entirely exclu-
ding this class of matter, to render the FAMILY
VISITOR an entertaining instructive Home

INNOCENCE AND OBsTINACy.-The other
evening Detroit joker slipped little pink
love letter into the pocket of a staid old citi-
zen as they were riding on the street car.
Of course the old citizens wife made a dive
for his over-coat pockets as she passed through
the hall, and when she had digested the love
letter, she determined to commit suicide.
While going up stairs after her bonnet she
got mad and changed her mind. Walking
into the room, where he sat before cheerful
fire, she exclaimed:
Loves you better than her own life, eh?''
"Who-whatw he inquired.
"And she wants to know how that bald.
headed wife ofyours gets along, eh p
II really-I can't"
"And she wants fifty dollars to buy her a
set of furs, does she?"
"Why, Mary-why, what are you talking
about?"
"Oh! it's come out-Ive got the proofs, "
she shouted, making dash for his hair.
The worthy man has sworn the most solemn
oaths to his innocence offered to let her en-
ploy detective to shadow him; accounted
for every hour of his absence during the last
year, and furnished fifty therories in regard
to the letter and yet the wife coldly remarks
that she is staying there solely on the chill
dren's account.-Detroit Free Press.

Expects OF Coup IN FATTENING.-A pro-
ducer of pork in Muskingum county, Ohio,
who has made an experiment with hogs with
view to ascertain how far cold retarded the
rate of fattening, reports the following result:
Carefully weighing the hogs fed, and the corn
fed to them, and estimating pork at four cents
per pound, he found that what he fed out du-
ring the first week in October returned, in
pork, 80 cents per bushel; the first week in
November, 60 cents; the third week, 40 cents !;
the foorth week in November, and the month
of December, 25; the FIRST half of January,
5; the last half, O. In the October week of
the experiment the weather was pleasant and
warm. It gradually grew colder till the latter
part of November, from which time it re-
maned about stationary till the 1st of Janu
ary, after which it ran down to zero, and be-
low in the latter part Of the month. The
hogs were we'll sheltered, in good pen, with

THE PRoDIGAL SoN-A young ladys
description of the prodigal son "He came
no shoes to his feet, no coat to his back, in his
shirt sleeves, and them grimed with dirt his
beard grown and matted ; his hair uncombed
and wildlike !; his trousers just hanging togeth-
er all in rags and tatters, dirty with living
among swine. You know what pigs are; they
were DO cleaner at that time in the Holy
Land that they are in Ulster now. Well, in
this plight he came back to his fathers house:
And his father fell on his neck and kissed
him. Ugh wonder how he could"

NEVER SAr1srIED.-Two or three months
ago a Detroiter started to build him house,
and, as he had always heard his wife "jaw-
ing around" about the lack of closets in
houses, he determined to give her an agreea-
BILE surprise. She went up with him day or
two ago and he pointed out eleven different
closets to her, and asked:
"Now what do you say ?"
"Well," she replied, after another round,
eff there was another closet off the hall, I'd be
willing to live and die here!'
TRIED BY HIS PEERs.-Mr. Parsons, q
lawyer in Chicago, was trying case before
Jury, being counsel for the prisoner. The
Judge was very hard upon him, and the jury
brought in verdict of guilty. Mr.. Parsons
moved for new trial. The judge denied the
motion, and remarked. "The court and the
jury think the prisoner knave and fool"
The counsel promptly replid, 'rhe prisoner
wishes me to say he is perfectly satis6ed-he
has been tried BY court and jury of his
peers !" ! .''..

so. These wages are on contracts by the
year; by the season the rate is somewhat
higher. There are great contrasts in the cost
and methods of harvesting and threshing.
South Carolina pays 10 cents bushel, or a
toll of every twelfth bushel for threshing by
fail, the New England States IL or 13 cents
for threshing with itinerant horse-powers, the
prairie States with large horse-powers about
7 cents, and California with steam-power less
than 6. The different share systems Of the
States are also described In New England,
the landlord and tenant divide the seed, tax
es, repairs and crops, half and half, and this
is the only part of the country where taxes
are so important that the landlord puts half
the burden on the tenant. In the middle
States the element of stock and tools begins
to be reckoned on one side or the other, the
tenant having only third if he furnishes
none. Down the coast this usage becomes
universal, one-third Of the product going to
the land, one to the owner of the stock and
tools, and one to the laborer. Cotton, howev-
er, yields only fourth to the landlord. In
the Gulf States, "the tenant freedman is ia
vored with larger share of the proceeds and
a more lenient treatment than the tenant.
farmers of the North" A distinction is made
between sharers and renters, the former work
ing for certain portion Of the crop, the lat
ter renting the acres and working for them
selves. The latter plan, of course, is the BEST
wherever the freedman has the tools and
mules to ''6nd himself" In the prairie States
and on the Pacific coast money rental is
more common than shares.

Something Important.

In view Of the well.known fact that
about one.third Of the precious metals
from our mines is lost in milling the
ore. the following from the San Francis
co Ala will he read with interest. We
would like to hear a little more about
that new process forthwith. 1t sounds
almost too good to be true:
The bullion produced in Storey coun-
~. Nevada. embracing the Comstock
lode, is about $3.50, 900, 900 since the dis.
covery. That amount 10 G5 per cent. OF
the assay value Of the ore taken out Of
the mines. That assay value being
1881, 400. 600 it follows that sl3i. i00.-
900 was absolutely lost or run of in the
tailings. because Of the faulty means Of
reducing. no mode having been discov-
cred by which the whole Of the metal
could be obtained. This much desired
process has now been revealed to the
eye Of science. and many extensive ex-
periments. with ton charges, have re-
.ilted uniformly in n saving OF metal Ms
high rs % per cent, and. what is most
important. is that this process Is less ex-
pcnsive than the old. Hencsforth oil

of low grade ores in all the mines, which
would not pay for milling. will now be

The Arrest OF whis.law REID.
The Origin Of Indian m

A member OF Major Powell's oypedi-
ton. which has been engaged in the
Government survey Of the Territories,
furnished the Tribune with some inter-
ssting notes Of tho discoveries made in
the origin Of Indian names. 1t seems
that each tribo or primary organization
Of Indians, rarely including more than
two hundred souls, IN. In Obedience to
tho traditional laws Of these people, at
tachsd to some well-dcfnsd territory or
district, and the tribe takes the name OF
such district. Thus the U.in.tats.
known 10 white men rs a branch OF the
Utss, belong to the UintAh valley, u
imp il the name for pine; too.meap,
for land or country; U.im.too-meap,
pine land: but this has been contracted
to U.in.tsh. and the tribe inhabiting the
valley were called U.in.tats.
Ths origin OF the term Ute is 81 fol.
lows: U IN the term S~ignifying arrow;
U-too.iaeap, arrow land. The region Of
country bordering on Utah Lake IL
called U.too-meap because Of the great
number OF reeds growing there, from
which arrow-shafts were made. The
tribe formerly inhabiting Utah Valley
was called U-tah-sts, which has been
corrupted into the name OF Ute by the
white people Of the country. The name
Of U.iah-ats belonged only to q small
tribe living in the vicinity OF the lake.
but il has been extended 40 as TO include
the greater part OF the Indians OF Utah
and Colorado. Another general name
used by white men is Piutes. A tribe
Of U.tah-ats being defeated and driven
away by q stronger tribe, who occupied
their country and took their name, were
obliged to take n new namo correspond
ing to the new home In which they set.
tied themselves. But they also called
themselves Pal U.tah-ats or truo Utah
ats. The corrupted name Piutes 10 now
applied to the Indians Of a large section
Of country. Several Of these tribes have
numerous names. and in this way the
number OF individual tribes has proba-
bly, been much overestimated.-"Seien
