From Utah.

The message of Governor Emory. OF
Utah, is full of plain talk to the Nor
mons. IL recommends secret ballot,
and a revision of the divorce laws, So as
To require years residence of the ap-
plicant. 1t says that but one person
has been punished for the Mountain
Nj ;uw massacre. Other persons have
been indicted. but have evaded the Off
GERS; that their arrest, trial and convic-
ton is improbable, unless suitable re-
ward is offered. 1t is believed that
friends are in communication with these
men, and warn them of the approach of
officers, and such negligence is main
tanned that, although frequent attempts
have been made to arrest them. they
have been unsuccessful 1t suggests
that committee be appointed to inves-
tigate the causes operating against the
arrest of the indicted parties. Poly
gamy has continued for thirty years,
and for fifteen years in violation of
law In oil other States and Terrific,
ries polygamy is punished. 1t is no
less crime here, yet the law remains
a dead letter. Poiygamous marriages
are so frequent throughout the Terri
tory, and the sentiment of the majority
of the people so much in its favor, that
officers, though charged with the duty
Of enforcing the laws. find themselves
unable to do so without further legisla.
ton. This Legislature has sufficient
jurisdiction to provide the enactments
required. but if it fails, then it is the
duty of Congress to provide such legis-
lation as will meet the case.

TIE death of Samuel Bowles, of the
Springfield Republican. removes one Of
the ablest American journalists from .
useful life During the past twenty
years his newspaper has been politi-
cal bible in the central portion Of Mas
sachusetts, and no paper in that State
has welded wider influence. Mr..
Bowles was barely past ifty years of
age, but had worn himself out in his
professional lsbors. He was . man o.!
whom i: must be truthfully said that
he had always been . newspaper man,
thoroughly conversant with all the
rudiments of Journalism. In carly life
he began his .abors at the case" and
worked with unAsgging zeal in every
branch OF the business as he climbed
the ladder. on whose upper rounds he
found ample room. He was a man of
strong prejudices as political writer,
but you soon forgave that Ger the sake
Of his genial ccmpanionship. A week
ago this paper predicted his death as .
foreshadowed certainty, for we knew
that an active brain had thoroughly sx :
hausted weak and enervated body.
1t was to the energy which hurried him
to his grave, that Springfield was best
known Is the place where the RepuJ-
liran is published.

The Central Pacific magnates are
evidently becoming alarmed at the con-
dition of the unemployed workingmen
IN San Francisco. and are giving en-
ployment to all who ask it, in filling
up large area of tide flats known as
Mission Bay. We haye not yet heard
as to whether Messrs. Kearney, Well
lock. knight, or any of the orators who
have figured so prominently in the ward
meetings of these labor unions, have
applied for work to the Mogul Stan
ford. Any information on that point
will be most thankfully received.
About $50 men have been set to work
so far.

THE kilograms from California, (the
line being down between Red Bluff end
Marysville), gave accounts of great and
heavy rains in the Sacramento Valley.
This means big grain crops in Califor-
MA and an increased demand for more
lumber TO fence farms and build barns /;
il means increased demand for coal rs
fuel for the steamers and railroads To
carry that grain from the valleys to the
seaboard and that means an increase
Of business for Puget Souni in general
and Seattle in particular. All sisns
now favor busy season ahead for the
numbering and coal mining interests.

On Wednesday we received two
copies of the San Francisco Alta. the
first in ten Gays. These came by
steamer to Portland. the rainy weather
in the Oregon valleys rendering it i'm.
possible for the stages between Red
ding and Roseburg to carry more than
the letter mail. The last trip of the
steamer Idaho brought seventy vs
sacks Of mail TO Astoria. Of which
forty-thrce were for Portland. The
7r'5uae Of last night suggests tba. the
Postmaster at San Francisco give the
mails tor Puget Sound to the Panama
and Dakota ON their sailing days, in
which we heartily concur. 1t is barely
justice To our people.

ED. INrELLrGENcER:-Noticing your
remarks about the havoc that the dogs
have lately made among Mr.. Baunton's
sheep. aud also how our streets are
crowded with worthless cars, would
like 10 know why eur City Marshal
does not put in force the ordinance re-
lating to dogs running at large. which
provides that those unlicensed be des-
troyed. Any person owning valuable
dog will cheerfulIy pay the small tax
required. As it will add to our city
finance. and at the same time rid the
community OF nuisance, it ought to be
enforced at once. II not, we will have
more killing Of sheep and other depre-
dations committed by them.
Yours. etc, A CITIZEN.

New York Editors Daughters,

Greeley's estate, as thus far settled,
will, as it is said, yield $4,000 to each
OF the daughters-a small sum indeed
when considered az the product of rare
talent and industry, during a life which
embraced forty-five working years. The
reputation, however, which such a man
b~equeaths, must be considered as the best
part Of an inheritance. Another New
York editor (Bennett) left his children
three millions, but what a character did
he leave with it? Editors daughters
have generally done well. David Hale's
eldest married a missionary, and was the
first woman that entered Canton in that
service. She died triumphantly while
engaged in the work, and was buried
there. n. p. Willis daughter (Imogene)
is married and lives handsomely in Mad
ison avenue. Hugh Hastings, has also a
daughter handsomely settled in life.
The same remark may be applied to
Irenas Prime, whose son-in-law, the tai.
ented StOddard, unites the clerical and
editorial functions. One Of Dana's
daughters has recently become the wife
OF DR.. Draper, Who holds a frst-class
position in the medical profession, and
is also a mar of social attractions, with
q we'll cultivated musical taste. Bryant
has Park Goodwin for q son -in-law. OF
Greeley's daughters, the Oldest has be.
come Mrs. Col. Smith; the other is un.
married. Bennett left but one daugh.
ter, . person of very retiring habits, and
much devoted to her hayward brother,
Upon the whole, editors daughters in
this city have a very respectable record.

The Tower of Babel.

Babel, or Baalbel, was a lofty temple
built at Babylon, by Belus, both as an
observatory and a temple of the sum-. 1t
remains still in existence, under the
lame of Birs Nimrod, and has been am
ply described by Rich and Porter. 1t
was formed of eight square towers, one
on the other, six hundred and fifty feet
high, and the same at each side of it's
base. Lately its height was one hundred
and sixty feet, and the reeds, between
every three or four layers of brick, were
perfectly fresh, while the brick seem to
be calcined by fire. Babylon continued
for two thousand years after, to be the
most splendid city in the world, and 40
Alexander found it as late az 325 B. C.
1t decayed on the building of Bagdad by
the Caliphs, as better situated for inter.
course, in 760 A. ID. According to the
Jewish annals. it was built 2,234 B. c.,
beautifed and enlarged in 1850, b ySem-
iramis, who led from it her armies of all
nations. The Euphrates passed through
it. 1t was a square, fifteen miles on each
side, with one hundred brass gates. 1t
was composed of twenty-five streets each
way, fifteen miles long, and one hundred
and fifty feet broad, crossing each other
at right angles, besides four half streets
two hundred feet wide, facing the walls,
in detached houses, with gardens and
pleasure-grounds. The walls were eighty.
seven feet thick, and three hundred and
seventy feet high.

Anecdote Of Cardinal pecci.

Cardinal Pecci gave proof of high ad-
ministrative abilities when a young man,
under the pontifical government of
Gregory XIV. He was sent to Bene-
vento, a province infested with banditti,
who were in league with the wealthy and
powerful families of the country. Act
ing in concert with Neapolitan authori-
ties, he made his disposition of papal
troops with great judgment, and then in
a sharp and decisive campaign routed
the robbers, and drove them to refuge,
which was generally in the castles of the
mobiles. The gendarmes, however, did
not stop and negotiate at the gates of
these buildings, but forced them, and
made prisoners Of the rascals. It Is re-
lated that q Marquis, the most powerful
in the province, called upon Monsignore
Pecci and told him he was going to
Rome, and expected to return with an
order for his recall. "All right" re-
piled the legate, "but before you 70 l
want you to pass three months in prison
on black bread and water" And be did.
Pecci made the province AZ safe for the
traveller and tourist as Savoy or Pied
mont Cincinnati Commercial.

A Town Heated bv Steam

The town of Lockport, N. T., is par
company in this manner A large hori-
zontal boiler il located centrally, and
two other boilers are employed as Access
series in case of need. Wrought iron
pipes are laid about three feet under
ground, experience showing that
omy will allow II inch pipe for 1000
feet distance, 8 inch pipe for 5000 feet,
6 inch pipe for 5000 feet, and IL inch
pipe for $4,000 feet. The mains and
service pipes are laid the anne as the
gas pipe, but with he%at-retaining and
MISUNDERSTANDING coverings. Right
angles at the corners of streets, and al
ternately ascending and descending
grades Of 20 to 40 feet are no impedi-
ments to the successful operation Of the
enterprise. Service pipe ! of an inch in
diameter is found sufficient to warm a
large building. About 3 miles of mains
have been laid in LOckport, extending
through Is streets, supplied with a boil
er pressure of 30 pounds to the square
inch. There are now being heated sat
isfactorily, at an average Of 20 degrees,
a large school building containing 1885,
600 cubic feet of space, the largest hall
in the city, and rooms in the same build
ing, giving about 10000 cubic feet of
space; and 40 large dwellings; and be-
sides there are being run two steam en-
gines, one of them over half a mile from
the boiler. The total space warmed by
one boiler 5x16 feet, is over 1000, OO(
cubic feet. 1t is proved that a district
Of 4 square miles, or equal to Is district,

The Turkish NAVY.

The Turkish navy is reported as COM
prising twenty-five iron clads, several of
which are of the first-class, besides sew
enty other steamers. Out of the latter a
few small monitors have been DESTROYED
since the war began, by torpedoes in the
Danube. The two largest ironclads are
the Mesondiere and Mendouhiie;
launched by the Thames iron works and
shipbuilding company, at Blackwell,
London, in 1874. They are each of a
burden of displacement Of 5000 tons, are
1872 feet long and so wide in extreme
breadth. The frigate Osmanich, a ram,
armor-plated from stem to stern, is the
next in eize. She is 800 feet long and of
1900 tons burden, and was built by
Napier & Sons, GLASGOW, in 1863. The
twin screw steamer Avni Illah, or Help
Of God, and Mum ZaFer, or Aid to
Victory, each 1,400 tons and 23O feet
long, are said to possess the highest speed
of any war vessels of the same tonnage.
They were launched in 1869, the former
from the Thames iron works, and the
latter from the yard of Samuda Bros,
Poplar, London.
