Geaerat News,

AN eastern bound express train on
the Central Pacific Railroad was snow
bound at Wells station, yesterday .and
not expected to reach Ogden during
the day.
The island ofSt. Thomas was shaken
by three shocks of an earthquake Oh
the morning of the 9TH inst. The first
shock occurred at 4 o'clock; the second
which was very severe, at 4;3o, auo
the third at 4:33.
A telegram from Louisville reports
that a number of business firms in
Paris, Ky. failed yesterday, and says
it was thought that at least fifteen oil
twenty firms in the city and country
would be implicated in the crash.
1t has been suggested to have the
old Liberty Bell rnng again next 4th
of July. Some wish the President to
perform the duty, and others think
that the honor should be bestowed
upon the Oldest living veteran of the
war Of 1919 or of 1915, for that matter,
if such prodigy of longevity can be
found.
The iron steamer Carondelet, from
New Orleans, sank eighteen miles be.
low st. Louis, early yesterday morn
ing, and lies in nine feet Of water. She
had seven hundred tons of sugar on
board, besides salt, etc., and her cargo
was valued at one hundred thousand
dollars. 1t will be badly damaged or
destroyed.
The bark Syrian Star, from Liver
pool for the Delaware Breakwster, was
lowed into St. Georges, Bermuda, on
the 10th inst, leaking and disabled.
A schooner left St. Georges on the
18th to search for the abandoned brig
antine Samuel Welsh, of Philadelphia,
which was seen on the 18th. 1870 miles
south of the Bermudas.
The Commissioner to adjust the debt
CT Alabama reported yesterday. They
say the debt of the State. as far as
they could ascertain was $50, 900 90 Q,
of which $11 ZOO, zoo was direct and
SIS, 900 900 contingent. The assessed
value of all the real estate in Alabama
is $1oo, 900, 600, showing that the
proportion of debt to real property is
about one fifth. The Commissioners
propose to issue new bonds, by which
the debt will be reduced to ten or
twelve millions.
In the whisky ring prosecutions at
st. Louis, a new point has been raised
Mcdonald and Joyce were con-
victed mainly on the evidence of ac-
completes, and such evidence seems to
be relied on almost entirely for the con
viction Of Mckee, the crooked editor.
The counsel for the latter are making
efforts to have this sort of evidence
ruled out altogether. This move, il
successful, might result in the acquit
tai of both Mckee and Babcock. But
1t is not likely to succeed.

CARE OF THE FEET,

Many are careless in the keeping of
the feet. If they wash them once q
week they think they are doing well.
They do not consider that the largest
pores are located in the bottom of the
foot, and that the most offensive mat
ter is discharged through the pores
They wear stockings from the begin
nning to the end OF the week without
change, which become perfectly satu-
rated with offensive matter. Ill health
is generated by such treatment of the
feet. The pores are not only repel-
lants but absorbents. The feet should
be washed every day with pure water
only, from which offensive odor is emit
ted, unless daily ablution is practiced.
Stockings should not be worn more
than a day or two at time. They
may be worn one day and then aired
and summed anc worn another day, if
necessary.

The City Financial Statement crowds
our paper to-day and compells a reduc-
tion of our miscellaneous reading matter. .
OPPOSED TO RETRENCHNENr,

It is little remarkable that after pre-
tending to be in favor OF reform within
their own party. the Republican papers
should now be found opposing every mea-
sure for reform and retrenchment that
the Democratic Committees in Congress
propose. This, however, seems to be the
case.
II was proposed to reduce the pay OF
the U. S. Cadets from $50 month to $40
q month, aad a general howl was raised.
1t Is said these boys will not be able to
live upon $40 month. Well. let them
60 somewhere else and get their living.
Boys who caanot live on $40 month are
not Of the stuff to form characters to
send out to command men who are not
paid half that amount of money for doing
three times the amount Of arduous SER
vice. How many hundreds Of thousands
OF men are there who have families to
support and educate who do not receive
$40 month"; In fact many Of these
boys have parents who never eI pended
half OF that sum upon them and yet it
is said they connot live on so. Four
hundred and eighty dollars year is too
much to e1pend on boys. While they re-
ceive this sum they are being edu Gated
and taught all the manly arts necessary
to their future life, which seems not to
be taken into account by the Republican
press.
The same howl goe- up at the sugges-
tion of reducing the annual salaries Of
Consuls and foreign Ministers from
$4,000 to $4,000. They seem not to re-
member that the old gentlemen in form
er times who added so much dignity and
reputation to the country previous to
1860 only received $1,000 to 5000 a year.
When James Buchanan appeared at the
Court Of st. James dressed in plain suit
Of black, in 1876, which created such
remarks among some who thought it nee
essary to gain admission to the Queen to
be arrayed in gaudy military attire, he
only received $1,000 year; and yet he
stood among the ablest of all the Minis
SNAps NAA0 "as' bAAN AtNAPAths VI ibthI ktI ic-
stinction at the Queens receptions. We
know that was too small sum; and we
know also that Mr.. buchanan resigned
the mission because it took all of his
small income to keep him there.
But there was no reason why the sala-
ry should be raised to $4,000. And it
never vas raised to that sum until men
were selected for these positions whose
desire was more TO accumulate wealth
than to add distinction to their country
by the ability and attention they gave to
ftsintereets. Since the salaries have been
raised the intellectual caGbrs and char
acter of our Ministers has grown small
by degrees until now tiey are not even
second-rate.
the same howl is raised at the propos.
ed reduction OF the salaries of the Gener.
als OF the Army. We hope the Commit
tees Of the House will do their whole du.
ty in this matter OF reducing salaries
let tie Republican papers say what they
may.
