The Second Christ .

| The Walla Walls Union says that up or
the mountain side, between Mill creek anc
Russell creek, there lives colony mum
bering 20 persons, who are commonly
called Mormons. They are an offshoo'
from the Mernaon .Chu.vh. Tl.o'i nie'
prophet was one Morris. who was killed
by the old -tashioned Mormons number
of years ago. The most noticeable pecu
liarity about them is, that the men never
cut their hair, and some of them look as
though they never washed or combed their
long locks, The head of the colony is a
fne-looking man named w. W. Davis
who has son now about five years DID,
who is claimed to be the second Christ.
But little is known of this sect by our
people, as they live in lot of houses
built close together, and do not "neigh-
Dor" much with the settlers aroilnd thar,
A late number of the Carson City, New,
News contained the following: "Last
summer an ancient pilgrim, with long,
disheveled hair and disgusting appear
ance, who claimed to be the prophet DAM
iel, preached to the Morrisites in Genoa.
He informed the credulous Genoese of the
seco I'd coming of Christ in the person of
child, born IN Walla Walla, Washington
Territory. This tale of the prophet Dan
lei made such an impression on r. J. Liv-
|ingstone, an old resident of Genoa, that
he recently sold his property and left for
Walla Walla, that he may hereafter live
and die near Christ. 1tappears that Lily
|ingstone is not the only one in Carson
valley who is infatuated with this belief
for recently great exodus from there to
Washington Territory has taken place.
All of them say they want to live neal
this new Christ"

strange Result Of Emancipa
ton.

Strange as it may seem, the emancipation
of the serfs in Russia has increased the
nnmber rf wolves in that country. The
eo.fs used to act as their masters drivers
in the great wolf hunts which formed ma.
tioual pastime; but since the liberation the
volf hunt has gradually become unpopu-
lar. and consequently the wolves are hav-
ing better time of it. Thus NJ Las.r.
ewski. in a pamphlet published by the
Rnssisn Ministerial Printing Office, es'l-
mates the number of wolves in European
Russia alone at not less than 200, 600, and
shows that while the average annual loss

What a Pittsburg Paper Says

The PittsDurg Commercial Gazette says
this about the riot: -
We deem it proper to say, in order that
railroad authorities may distinctly 'uadsr-
stand the situation, and not from an ur,-
kind spirit that the general drift of public
sympathy in this city is with the strikers,
This grows out of several things.
1. 1t IS believed that in both reducing
nav and shortening time they have . real
grievance, more than should have been
put upon them.
2. It is thought that were the roads
managed more directly for the stockhold-
ers. and less for special corporations in
which officers of the company are interest.
ed and out of which they make money a'
the EXPENSE of the stockholders, there
would be less occasion for bridging diff
culties by reducing the compensation OF
workmen.
8. In this city. the sense of wrong,
felt by many of our people because OF the
system of freight determinations, ihclinea
them to favor the strikers. We have had
many representations made to 10 on the

goods from here to Boston. our people can

You. peak Of snow A.A4s-

The rosy light
Makes richly bright

From wales that sleep
Nights shadows creep,

While, as they rise,
The Western skie,
Seem 10th to leave SO fair prizs.
The light of day
Yet loves to stay,
And round that pearly summit pl.v,
How fair sight,
1on plain Of light,
Contended for by night and day.
Now fainter shines.
AS day dcclihcs;
The lustrous height which he resigns,
The shadows gain
1h' illumined plain;
The Jungfrau pales, as If In psir,
Though daylight dies,
The azure skies
Seem Rlittering with thousand eyes,
Which watch with grace,
From depth of space,
The sleeping Jungfrau's lovely face.
But when is btrii
The ruddy dawn,
Forerunner Of the coming morn.
Along the skies
1t quickly flies
10 kiss the Jungfrau's opening eyes.
The rosy blush
And timid flush,
Which then O'tr brow and face 60 rusf
Are pure and fair
Reyond compare,
Resplendent in tn illuminej air.
And thus Away,
BY night and day,
Her varying suitors homage pay;
And tingea with rose,
Or white with SHOWS,
The same fair, radiant form she shows

Mexico.

The shape of Mexico is very unfortu.
nate for that country. when the condition
of things which prevails there is consider
ed Mexico, in household parlsnce, is cut
on the bias, is funnel-shaped, with the
big end Joined to the United States. Now,
the great difficulty of Mexico has always
been to take care of her boundary line.
Hence, it will be readily seen that every
slice taken eff the dig end leaves heI
boundary line shorter, and therefore re
lieyes Mexico of just that much care,
The line which now causes her SO much
trouble is over twelve hundred miles long,
but moderate slice, ingeniously cut,
would leave a border of less than five
hnndred miles. A larger slice would
leave still shorter line. and BY annexing
the whole territory the q uestion Of border
troubles would be finally and fully set'
tied This is the kind of logic that SEEMS
10 prevail with one party in considering
1.-The Mexican question; but, seriously. il
the Mexicans cannot form government
strong enough to guard their borders, it is
the duty of the United States to Zee thai
her own strength is used to protect hel
own citizens in the enjoyment OF life and
property. This duty Of the Governmen,
is as incumbent in the case of people re-
siding adjacent to Mexican territory as IN
that of any other citizens of the country.
Texas is one of the most fertile States IN
the Union, and the most inviting part in
other particulars is that WHICH is con-
stantly suffering from these Mexican raids
1t is the clear duty Of the Government te

cia,es this duty, and will do 1t IN spite

In explanation of our reporters paragraph
quoted above it may be proper to say that the
compliment paid to the W. G. Marshal was his
disappointment to that Office and the reason it
was called questionable was because he had ex-
pressed his intention of declining if appointed.
The propriety of making an appointment SIM
ply out of compliment may be questionable but
the person receiving it does not appear blame.

PARTICULARS OFF CoLLIsIoN.-Captain T..
b. Keene of the schooner Hannah McLeop,
which arrived here recently from Matamoras,
reports that on the 10th inst, (the night of the
collision of the steam collier Harrisburg with
the Henrietta Tilton, of which disaster he
knew anothing till later,) he passed steamer
near the Cross Rip light-ship at about 8.45 p.
m. He heard the steamer blowing off steam
before he got up with her, and supposed some
thing was wrong, but did not know what. At
about 9 o'clock, when Abe had passed about a
mile and half beyond the steamer, he heard
diately shouted, asking if any one was over
board blew whistle, hove his vessel to and
searched for a considerable time, but could find
nothing nor obtain any response to his calls.
Afterwards learning of the collision and the
drowning of the captain and his wife, m ate
cook and two men of the schooner, he suppos-
ed the drowning cries came from some of these.
All this time the steamer was in sight, and a
considerable time must ihave elapsed since the
collision. Capt, Keen thinks the men, or some
of them, could have been saved, and says that
whatever the circumstances, on his judgment
as seaman, he considers those on the steamer
must have been grossly culpabe in not making
greater efforts in behalf of the crew of the I'M
fortunate vessel. The report published last
week said that the steamers boats were so en-
numbered that they could not be cleared in sea-
son to be of service
