which dazzled him like sudden lightning.
" Isaac, we have lived together for twenty
years, and for all of them 1 have been u
true and loving wife to you. But am the
child Of God and of my country, and if you
do this shameful thing will never again
own you for my husband"
"My dear wife!" cried the husband
aghast, "you do not know what you are
saying. Leave me for such a thing as
this ~
For such thing as thisr' she cried
scornfully. "What greater cause could
there be? married a good man and true,
faithful friend and a loyal Christian
gentleman, and it needs no divorce to sever
me from a traitor and coward. If you
take your protection you lose your wife,
and II lose my husband and my home T.
With the last words the thrilling voice
broke suddenly with pathetic fall and a
film crept over the proud blue eyes
Perhaps this little touch of womanly weak
ness moved her hearers as deeply as her
brave, scornful words. They were not all
towards at heart, only touched by the
dread finger of panic, which, now and then,
will paralyze the bravest. Some had strug-
gled long against it and only half yielded
at last. And some there were to whom old
traditions had never quite lost their power,
whose superstitious consciences had never
become quite reconciled to the stigma of
| rebel, though reason and Judgment both
told them that, borne for the cause for
which they bore it, it was n title of nobility.
The words of the little woman had gone
straight to each heart, be its handspring
what it might. Gradually the dropping
heads were raised and the eyes grew bright
with manliness and resolution. Before
they left the house that night they had sworn
solemn oath to stand by the cause they
| had adopted and the land of their birth
through good or evel, and to spurn the
offers of their tyrants and foes as the dead
liest insults.
! Some of the names of those who met il
that secret council were known afterwards
among those who fought their country,
battles most nobly, who died upon the felC
of honor, or reioiccd with the pure heart
when the day of triumph came at last
The name Of the little woman figured OF
nc heroic roll, but was she the less
heroine?
This story is a true one, and in this cen
tennial year, when every crumb of informa
tion in regard to those old days Of struggl
and horoism is eagerly gathered up, it may
not be without interest.

Salt Lake.

There are no fish in the Great Salt Lake.
The only living thing beneath its waters is
a worm about quarter Of an inch long.
This worm shows up beautifully under the
lens of a microscope. When storm
arises, the worms are driven ashore by
thousands, and devourcd by the blacl: gulls
We found in a pure stream chubs and
sinners. The fish became frightened and
were driven down the brook into the briny
lake. The instant they touched its waters
they came to the surface belly upwards and
died without a CLASP. The water is re-
marllably buoyant. Eggs and potatoes float
upon it like corks. Mr.. Hood and myself
stripped andwent i'll swimming. Idoveinto
the lake from long pier, which had been
built for the use of a small steamboat that
formerly piled upon the waters. The SEN
sation was novel. The water was so salty
that my eyes and ears began to smart, but
so buoyant that | found no difficulty in
floating even when the air was exhausted
IN my lungs. As | struck out for the beach
felt as a feather. In spite of all that |
could do my head would fly out of the
water. | found it impossible to standupon
the bottom. The lightness of the water
and the surging of the waves forced my
feet from under me. A person who could
not swim might be easily drowned in five
feet of water. His head would 90 down
like lump oflead, while his feet would fly
up like a pair of ducks. The water is a:
clear as that of Seneca lake-so clear that the
bottom could be seen at the depth of twenty
feet. When we reached the shore anC
crawlcd out upon the sand in the light o
the sun our bodies were quickly covered
with salt. We were compelled to 60 t.
the little stream from which we haC
driven the chubs and sinners, ard wash Of
in fresh water before we put on our clothes
Our hair was filled with grains of sal
which could not be washed out Th
Mormons occasionally visit the lakes il
droves for the purpose of bathing.

A Sad Yachting Calamity.

BY the capsizing of the yacht Noha~k in
New York bay last Thusday afternoon
William I. Garner, the wcll-lnown manu-
facturer and yachtman, his wife, his brother
in-law, Frost Thorne, and Miss Adele
Hunter, young lady we'll known in New
York society, and a cabin-boy, lost their
lives. There were several other persons on
the yacht in addition to the crew at the
time of the disaster, but they were rescued,
with the possible exception of one or two OF
the crew, whose safety is doubtful. 1t is
asserted that the cause of the disaster was
the carelessness or incapacity of the sail
master, who did not handle the vessel
properly in a sudden and powerful gust OF
wind.
William L. Garner was the son of Thomas
Garner, an Englishman, who came to this
country when young man, and began the
manufacture of printcloths, of which, at
the time of his death in 1865, he was the
largest producer in the world. William Z.
Garner was about 80 years of age at the
time of his death. In early boyhood he
entered the establishment of his father
and grew up with thorough and practi
cal knowledge of the business which later
in life he controlled. By his fathers death
he inherited fortune, which he himself
stated to be valued at from $l5,OOO,OOO to
$2C,000OOO.
Mr.. Garner was the head of the house
known as Garner & johnson, having their
place of business at Nos. 3, 4, 6, and
Worth-st. He was estimated to be worth
about $l9,000,0OO. Besides the business
here he had five large cotton mills in
Cohoes, others in Rochester, Little Falls
Pleasant Valley, Newburgh, and Reading
PENN; also print works at WappingeI
Falls and Haverstraw, having in his employ
from 1000 to 5000 persons. In the cloth
printing he employed AZ machines, being
double the number used by any other
manufacturer or corporation in the country
This individual ownership of mill property
was fully equal to one-quarter of the entire
Fall River manufacturing district. There
is probably no single man connected with
cotton manufacturing interests in the world
whose loss will make itself moro generally
felt. Garner's prints are widely and
favorably known throughout the country

An Obstinate Elector.

The proprietor of a Gratilot avenue saloon
won't vote far Jas. G. Blaine, and that is
settled fact. Some men were yesterday
seeking to ascertain the cause of his
animosity toward Names "favorite son"
and he explained.
" You see, when | vhas keeping zaloon

End dook some drinks und nefer bald me-"
"Oh, that can't be this Blaine" replied
one Of the men; "this Blaine is a temper

I" 70 vhas this Plaine," was the calm
reply. ~ shust remember as blan as day
how he boured dot whiskey down his
throat und groaned over some increase of

"Thore's a mistake somewhere. Yor
heve got two Blaine's mixed up. Hero is

The saloonist glanced at it, handed i

Selling Milk or Making Butter.

In the great West the manufacture of
cheese has become staple business, and
this, with the additional fact that butter is
an article which will not bear transporta-
ton intact any long distance, as can cheese,
will prevent the people Of that region from
competing in the butter market to any
appreciable extent, leaving the Eastern and
Middle States masters of the situation.
Again, another reason why the manufac-
ture of butter is not undertaken in the
dairy districts of the West is that their
summers are too hot, and the months of
July and August dry as well, and unless
plenty of ice is available good butter can
not be made With cheese the case is diff,
ferent; the milk is worked into cheese i'm
mediately, and there is little difficulty ex-
perienced in keeping the proper tempera-
tire for curing it.
We think, therefore, in view of the above
facts, that the dairymen and dairy farmers
Of the Middle States will find it much to
their advantage to turn their attention
more particularly to the manufacture OF
superior butter. 1t is a fact, too, that the
butter of the West cannot bear comparison
with that of the Middle and Eastern States
and is not as much sought after by private
families or hotels, and consequently will
not command as good a price. In the
Eastern cities there is scarcely time when
really frst-class butter will not bring from
fifty cents to dollar a pound, and it is de
gree of excellence which all who will car
reach. To make first-class butter, however
requires considerable experience and skill
and, above all, particular nicely in all the
surroundings, and the most scrupulou
cleanliness and care in all its manipulation
throughout. The great difficulty with som,
in determining this question has been thai
the value of the skinned milk and butte
milk for feeding has not been duly appre
ciated. There are other considerations
however, i'll this connection, which prove
that selling tho milk, instead of feeding
on the place, creates a permanent loss t
the soil, but which need not be discusset
here more than to say that the slimme,
milk and butter milk Of every cow in her
is good for at least POO pounds Of pork
and every pig SO raised and supplied wit
material can, by proper management, b
made to manufacture manure enough t
enrich an acre Of ground.-BaH. SIN.
Smyrna times., 1876-07-26

Business is terribly depressed in England,
as in this country, and matters are getting
worse instead of better. Firms hitherto
considered solid are failing every day, and
the list is likely to be increased from all
parts Of the kingdom. In the cotton and
woolen branches heavy operators are
weakening and the iron trade is daily be-
coming more uncertain. The facts are
plainly seen, but what remedy to apply to
meet the evils seems to be as far from the
minds of the statesmen of England as it is
from those of our own country. Over-pro-
duction and over-trading are commonly
assigned as the causes, but how to set
things straight is the great question that
nobody can answer, though everybody has
an answer that satisfies himself.
