no dog shall be allowed in a passenger
car. 4 few days ago some wags put up
a job on Malley. They got a large toy
dog, and put him under their seat in
tirst-class passenger Car. The conductor
saw the supposed dog, and was let into
the plot. He sent Malley back for the
dog. The baggage-master rushed to the
rear Of the Car where the dog was, and
he demanded possession of him. 4 long
and heated argument ensued between
Malley and the owners OF the dog"
which resulted in an invitation on the
part of the latter to ''take him out it you
want him." Amid the suppressed merri-
ment OF tho passengers, Mal!ey got down
on all fours and said to the dog:
Come, doggie: good boy; come,
boy!'' But the dog didn't come.
With a sudden Jerk Malley grabbed
the IS dog" and held him up. A roar
from the passengers heralded his exit.

Travelling in Japan

A long ride on a japanese pack horse
is an epoch in the lite of any traveller.
AS the animals are snod with straw. and
as the roads are very rough, they never at
tempt anything beyodd walk even with
the most violent isducement. The travel
er is perched high up on a pillion, in a
sort Of a valley, the sides of which are
composed of his luggage, spare hats,
shoes, girths, and straps rolled into bun
dies; his legs are doubled up so that his
knees touch his chin, and the sensation
is like that of being on the back Of a
camel. Thus placed he must perform
his journey, or as an alternative be may
be driven on the Kago, or litter. This
may either be basket slung on pile,

streets of Yedo, but which have gone the
way of SO many remnants of old Japan,

of coolies to carry them; but the litters
which the ordinary traveller must use are

MORMON DUPLICITY.

Secretary Sch4Fz has received the follow
ing letter, dated at Ogden City, Utah, the
18th inst:
SIR: The object of this letter is to give
you some information relative to the traffic
in ammunition which is carried OH by the
cooperative stores with the Indians. The
cooperative stores are conducted by the
Mormon priesthood. My informers. the
deputy United States marshal here and
others, tell me this traffic is carried on daily,
and, beyond doubt, by all similar institutions
all over the Territory, and in Southern Idaho
at the following places where the cooperative
stores exist: Ma]ade City, Soda Springs,
and Paries. These places are directly on the
Indian borders. The Mormon priesthood
have constantly missionaries among the
Indians. The latter are converted to Nor
rrannisr,, and taken through +hn ordnunment
house, where they the Indians) pledge
themselves to support this priesthood, and
they are called by the Mormons "Our little
battle-axes.' Therefore almost every Indian
war is carried on directly or indirectly by
this priesthood. and therefore this traffic of
ammunition. The great aim of the priest
hood is to intimidate non -Mormons from
getting the valleys anywhere within 500
miles of Salt Lake for the purpose of keep
ing the lands vacant until by the natural,
steady, and rapid growth of Mormonism tn 9
priesthood can colonize the unoccupied
region. The so-called masonary that binds
all tribes together, so often referred to by
the press of the United States, ,emanates from
the endowment temple at Salt Lake, where
the secret work and the endowment gar
nlents are given them: The so-called friend
ly Indians are always carrying information
and ammunition to the hostiles. As this is
as serious as costly, deem it my duty to
report the same to you, and if there is no
law to stop the sale of ammunition to the
Indians. suggest that the President issue a
proclamation in which to prohibit the sale
Of ammunition and firearms to the Indians
during times of hostility. If our govern
ment in this Territory would be alive to the
Interests he should represent, I am certain
this traffic could not be carried on as extern
