As the same plants and fruits are not produced
alike in every region, so the kinds Of life do not
tend to make every one act alike. In cities, dis.
sipation prevails, and ambition begets svar,ce,
from which spring hardened effrontery and its
offspring is crime Of every degree, In country
life, which is termed rustic we are accustomed to
find economy, diligence and uprightnesss-C Cicero

Wherever through the ages rise

Wherever through the ages rise
The altars Of selfsacrifce,
Where love its arms has opened wide,
Or man for man has nobly died,
see the same white wings oukpread
That hovered Ger the Masters head.
Up from undated time they come,
The martyr soul of heathendom,
And to his cross and passion bring
Their fellowship of suffering.

A PLUCKY sRUGGLE FOR FOR

which is believed to be nearly one million dol
lars Barely three years ago Bassick was undoubt.
edly the most poverty stricken wretch in ROsita
He eked out precarious living for himself and
family by saving wood and doing ODD jobs, but
devoted all his spare moments to prospecting. In
his prospecting he had dug hole twenty feet
deep, when his pick went into a peculiar torma-
ton of yellow gravel and sand, which he had
never seen before. He filed his pockets with 1t,
but was unable for weeks 10 get any one to assay
1t. At last stranger came into camp and he lis
tened to Bassick's story. He thought, with all the
rest that the man was crazy, but in order to hu-
NOR him an assay was obtained, and, to the as.
tonishment Of all, the stuff was found to run
quite rich with gold. Fortune smiled upon the
humble wood sawyer at last and led him to vast
deposit of gold bearing ore, and in month from
the first discovery the name Of Bassck was utter
ed with reverence and respect.

Fifty years ago the leading dailies were the
Courier Sentinel and Boston Atlas, edited respec.
lively by Joseph Tinker Buckingham, Major Ben
Russell and Richard HOughton, all men of mark,
The weeklies were the Traveller aud Gazette, the
latter edited by W W. Clapp, father of Col, Clapp
of the Journal. OF Mai. Ben" as he was famil-
iary called, many amusing anecdotes are told,
one of which, that long antedates the period of
which we are speaking, may be worth relating
His relations with Gov Hancock were intimate,
and, having an appointment with the Governor
late in the evening, was received by the Execu-
tive in his chamber Alter long session, the bus
iness being concluded, the Governor drew back
and said Now, Ben, tell us good story" This
was exactly in the Majors line and he gave him
a tolerably spicy one. Just at the climax Maj
Ben was horrifed by the sound OF stltlied femi-
nine laughter, and, jumping up, saw from the
movement of high. .curtained bedsead standing
in the corner that it had an occupant, Good

in his eye; "it is only Mrs Hancock"

The Supreme Court of the United
States has at last made a final decis-
ion declaring the act of Congress
constitutional which prohibits po-
lygamy in this country. The decree
will doubtless have a very serious
influence OH the Mormon population
of Utah, and their future course will
be looked for with great interest by
the people of the West. If the law
now made clear on the subject of
po!ygamous marriages is enforced
as it doubtless will be, il will natur-
ally create a revolution in the social
affairs of Utah territory; under the
circumstances, unless further legisla-
ton takes place, the Supreme Court
decision will be the basis of endless

JANUARY lIth, 1879.

JANUARY Illu, loio.
EDITOR JOURNAL This is very
quiet day at the capitol, as most
of the members have left to spend
the Sabbath with their families (that
is those that are possessed with the
aforesaid.)
There has been no business of i'm
portance transacted except the per-
mauent organization of the two
Houses, and appointment of the sew
eral standing committees.
These were mostly appointed
through a system of swapping" or
compromising. brought about by
there being SO many candidates for
speaker. Two gentlemen from Lam
caster being candidates for speaker,
very humbly took back seats by
being put on committee of Public
Lands and Buildings.
Scott, the candidate from York,
was very ready and willing to throw
his strength to Mathewson for the
craftsmanship of the judiciary COM
mittec, in consideration therefor.
Owing 10 this fact, the members
who were working in the interest
of Mathews son before he came down
here, received that which none Of
the compromise men asked for.
The committee on railroads are
all good men, but (with one excep-
tion) are either directly or Indirect
ly interested in railroads in the
State.
When the bill for appropriation
for building wing on the present
capitol was presented by the gen.
tleman from Lancaster (Mr. Ses-
sions) it became very apparent why
they wished to be on that commit
tee. But time will develop what it
will amount TO.
Several very amusing incidents
have come to notice during the ses-
sion. A member from one of the
rural districts, came into the Hall on
Wednesday morning, one day be-
hind time, some person having told
him they did not meet until Thurs
day. Such a look of establishment
as can only be imagined but not de-
scribed! "Why, when did you all
come down, | supposed | did not
have to come down until to-mor-
row." The effect on the little circle
of friends about him can be imagin-
ed. One of the most efficient Off
GERS in the House is ID. 3. Slaughter,
better known as 'Gad," having be-
come almost a necessity; being well
informed as to the rules, and a
"budget of information," for those
seeking light.
Our Representative, Hon. T. G.
Ryan, occupies his position near the
Speaker; he looks as pleasant and
smiling as ever, and is a general Ia
vorite with the members. Repre-
sentative Loveland occupies his seat |
near Ryan, in order to confer on all !
matters OF importance. a. E. Pink
ney has been appointed clerk Tor Ju-
dietary committee.
Among The prominent members |
are Z. j. Dempster, of Harlan Co,
a rising young lawyer of Republi-
can City. We think the Speaker
showed good judgment in putting
him on the Judiciary committee.
Yours, accidentally, |
|. a.,
