Chamberlain aud Hampton EnUited
bU The President.


The Cabinet session lasted on March
% from ID until noon. The result, was
to address letters to Gov. Hampton and
Gov. Chamberlain, inviting them to
Washington city, and soon after noon
the following letter received the. ap-
prevail of the Cabinet. 1t was sent to the
gentleman to whom it was addressed:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, March %:
Z" l an instructed by ne President to
bring to your attention his purpose to take
into Immediate consideration the position of
affairs in South Carolina, with the view Of
determining the course which, under the
Constitution and laws of the United States,
it may be his duty to take, in reference
to the situation in that State, as he
finds it, upon succeeding TO the Presi-
dency. 1t would give the President
greatpleasure to confer with you in person,
if you shall find it convenient 10 visit
Washington, and shall counsel with him
in thinking such conference the readiest
and best mode of placing your views as to
the political situation in your State before
him. He would greatly prefer this direct
communication OF opinion and information
to any other method of a~Scertaining your
views upon the present condition and I'M
mediate prospects of public interests in
South Carolina. lfreasOns of weight with you
should discourage this course, the President
will be glad to receive any Communication
from you in writing or through any delegate
possessing your confidence, that will convey
to him your views Of the im~pediments to the
peaceful and orderly organization of single
and u%ndisputed State Government in South
Carolina, and of the best method of remov-

shot.

John D. Lee, who led the Mountain
Meadows massacre in the month of Septem-
Der, 1869, was executed at the scene of the
mui der on March %. At ten a. m. he was
brought cut before the executing party, and
seated on his coffin, about twenty feet from
the shooters. After the order of the Court
had been read to him and the company
present by Marshal Nelson, Lee made a
speeehof aboutive hundred words, bitterly
deneuncing Brigham Young, and calling
himself the scapegoat for the sins Of others.
He hoped God would be merciful. He
denied thathe was guilty of bloodshed to
the last, and maintained that his mission to
the Meadows was one of mercy.
After the speech Parson Stokes, Methodist,
made aprayer commencing the soul of the
condemned man to God.
Immediately after this a handkerchief was
placed over Lees eyes. He raised his hands
and placed them on the top of his head, sit
ting firm. Nelson gave the word to fire, and
exactly at eleven o'clock five guns were fired,
penetrating the body in the region of the
heart.
Lee fell square back upon his coffin, dead.
Death was instantaneous.
The body was placed in the coffin and the
crowd dispersed. There were about seventy.
five persons, all told, on the ground. Not
a child or relative was there. The best
order prevailed, and all pronounced the exc
cution a success.
Lees last words to Nelson were: "Aim al
my heart" The body was then given to rel
atiyes in Cedar CITY.

better civilization for which in this CEN
fury we have worked so hard and go
well, may find responsive companionship
and encouraging intercourse with 9th
ers.
"The social benefits and the facilities
for frequent, neighborly, and informal
intercourse are obvious. To say nothing
of. the companionships and intimacies
among the young people, their fathers
and mothers would be kept from grow
ing old and glum by the constant fric-
ton of their kind; and in SO far as "a
more satisfactory social relation with
ones fellow-men, gives ~cheerfulness and
the richness of a wider human interest,
in that proportion would the village life
have a wholesome, mellowing effect that
is not to be found in the remote farm
house, nor even in the sort of neighbor-
hood we sometimes find in the country,
where several farm-houses are within a
quarter of a mile of each other. The
habit of running in for a moments
chat with a neighbor is a good one, and
it gets but scant development among
American farmers"
The better development of the church,
and especially of the school, is discussed
at some length, and the paper closes
thus:
Gone might go on through the long
range of incidental arguments-such as
lighted streets, well-kept sidewalks,
winter snow-plows,[ and good drainage,
and a wholesome pride in a tidy, cozy
village, until even the most close-fsted
of all our class would confess that the
extra cost would bring full value in re-
turn, and until he would recognize the
fact that the attractions of such a home
as. the village would make possible, would
be likely to insure his being succeeded
in his wholesome trade by the brightest
and best of his sons-a result that would
surely be worth more than all it would
cost.
"But my purpose has been only to
suggest a scheme which seems to me en-.
tirely, even though remotely, prac'
ticable, and in which 1 hope for ths
sympathy and help of the country-bound
farmers wives and daughters a scheme
which promises what seems the easiest
if not the only relief for the dizziness and
desolation Of living which make Ameri
can farming loatllsome to SO many wht
ought to glory in its pursuit, but wht
now are only bound to it by command
ing necessity"

Household Helps.

To PREVENT SCoRCHING.-The secret
is simply to keep a basin OR cup of water
in the oven. The steam generated not
only prevents searching, but make the
meat cook nicer.
Mrs. CHTTTENDEN's RECIPE FOR PoT-
PIE CRUsT.-One egg, two tablespoons
of cream, n tea-cup of buttermilk ;
stir in flour with a spoon until it is hard /;
then drop it in your boiling broth, a
tablespoonful in place; keep covered,
and cook half an hour. If we'll done it
is very light.
To DESTROY VERMuN.-Water bugs
and red ants can be driven off by sprink-
ling the floor with pulverized borax,
and leavinga place for them to get out
to kill them, mix borax with sugar, SO
they will eat it. For ants or other yer.
min, wash the shelves with a solution Of
borax; then sprinkle the same with
borax mixed with sugar.
SOUTHERN OMELET.-Beat three egg
ten minutes; add three tablespoonful
milk; stir we'll; put a piece Of butter
size of a walnut in the frying pan; have
the pan very hot before pouring i'll thu
mixture; whenit becomes brown AROUND
the edge raise with a knife and roll up
place on a hot plate and serve with pep
per and salt, after it is placed on
plate.

otto feeling of the great body of the people
of the United States. 1t is impossible that
protracted disorder in the domestic govern

The National Life Insurance Company of
the United States of America

The National Life Insurance OF
the United States of America.
In marked contrast with the unpleasant develop
ments that have appeared recently, concerning GER
tain companies, we are glad to note the results Of
an official examination of this Company. Although
having q charter direct from Congress, it does not
attempt to disavow its responsibility to State insur-
ance laws.
By mutual agreement, on behalf Of the State de-
of New York, Massachusetts, Pennsyl.
the latter State, commenced on January Sth, q rigid
examination of the books, assets and liabilities OF
this Company. Commissioner Rowe was assist. d
by Prof. Watson, the well-known %actuary, and V.
II. Lott. ESQ.
The detailed examination continued without in
terruption until the 10th of February. The results
are highly gratifying to the friends Of the Company
and the public generally. On the 18th instant the
Company received from Commissioner Rowe q re-
| together with his written assurance that he found
the Company able to comply fully with the stringent
laws of his State. The entire reserve is invested in
United States bonds and first mortgages. On the
3lst of December, 1876, it had q grand surplus above
all Liabilities of 81 Az, 1913 35. Its receipts in 1876 ex-
ceeded its disbursements by over $500, 900, although
it paid in death claims nearly a quarter of a million
dollars. More perfect security could not be Offered
to insurers. 1t is almost unnecessary to say thai
this Company has nothing to do with the National
Capital Life Insurance Company OF the District o.
Columbia. Unlike the latter concerB, the Nationa
Life Insurance Company of the United States @
America Is not reinsuring other companies, and IL
not responsible in any way for the liabilities or poll
cieps of the Reublic Life Insurance company or any
other corporation. Agents wanted n IN this county
