THE PREHISTORIC UTE.
An Interesting Tradition as to their Ear
~ History.
Denver Trinnne.

Denver
It seems that after all the :Utes are
not entirely devoid of imagination.
George West tells a remarkable story
ubout them, which he alleges was re-
lated to him by Ute named Pah-goo.
They call the Colorado river Toom-pin-
to-weep, where Pah-goo says there is a
deep old river bed fully half mile deep.
Pah-goo says his forefathers had a tradi-
ton that long years ago, they had lived
near q vast warm lake northeast of the
Big river; that country was warm, full
of big trees and big deer, and big oxen
with white horns; that big fishes and
snakes as long as a hundred lodge-poles
abounded in this lake; that one day all
the big oxen began to roar together,
and that they raised such steam from
their nostrils that the earth reeled and
the sun was Obscured; that suddenly
the lake fell and continued falling for
three moons, and then became much re-
duced that they knew it not any more,
but that the big lake they found had
been drained away to the south, and
that the warm waters had cut through
the present canon of Green river and If
the Big river 1.-THE Colorado): and that
this OLD bed in the loom pinto.weep is
where the lake waters were drained.
He also said that the story goes on that
all the big deer and the big oxen with
white horns strayed away eastward and
all persisted in the mountains from cold
or by the arrows of the Ute hunters; that
soon after big flood formed Grand riv-
er canon, and after this flood came
a small race Of people who had skin
canoes, and who brought seed corn of a
small kind, called in Spanish chiquto
mays; that these people were aim ost
white, and they taught the Utes how to
make good spears and bows andxearthen-
ware; that they built stone houses in
the cliffs, and cultivated pumpkins, corn,
and beans; that they had gold and sill
yer in abundance, anr iron tools that
they had obtained in the high mountains
to the northeast; that afterward, from
the northwest big red Indians came over
to this country and killed and drove off
the little people, who finally went south
as we'll as the big red men, who are the
Apaches, Navajoes. and Kiowas. He
also said that the oxen with white horns.
the gra'ade hagarios (probably alligators,)
were found down among the Apaches
and Navajo Indians, bat that by-and-by
the country became dryer and colder,
and the Utes only were left on the Big
river and its branches; that melted rocks
were poured out everywhere and left
the country desolate, and the little peo-
pie had told his forefathers that where
they came from were big waters, and in
these waters were men with bodies like
a fish. Old Pah.goo said that in this
old river bed is plenty Of gold,. but that
it is sure death for any one togo into
the canon to get it.

Trade Marks.
/ lnter-OCean,

General Payne, commissioner of
patents. being asked what effect the de-
cision of the supreme court, delivered
Nov. 18th, declaring the trademark
law unconstitutional, would have re-
piled that it would be serious, and
many business interests suffer. Whether
another law could be found that would
cover substantially the same interests,
and stand the scrutiny of the supreme
court, was doubtful. The court did not
pass upon what might be done, but they
effectually settled what had been done.
The patent Office will Immediately sus-
pend the issuance of trademark priv
ileges, and those which have been is
sued are of course now of no avail. A
man had as we'll own a Cancelled postage
stamp as a trademark. Being asked
if some of these trademarks thus null
lifted were not valuable, the commits
sioner replied that they were, or at
least were so regarded, before yester-
days decision. However, the common
law right in trademarks survives, but
the United States statutory provisions
are annulled. There are now over
5000 trade marks registered, and 200
pending for registration. OF course
under the decision all operations under
this head must be suspended. It in
effect abolishes the trademark bureau
of the patent Office. This will cut off
from the patent Office revenues about
100000 yearly. Since the establish
ment of the trademark system the fees
paid into the Office have amounted to
over $3.50, 900, which have been paid
into the United States treasury. Now
that the law has been declared uncon-
stltutional, it is clear that this money
was wrongfully collected, and actions
brought in the court of claims will hold
good. But as the contingent fund of
the patent Office is not large enough to

A barrel of potatoes can be raised from one vine. So says the Colusa (Cal.) Sun. Read the following:
 "A gentleman told us the other day that if barrel with both heads out were placed over potato vine, and the earth filled in around the vine from time to tune as it grew, it could be filled to the top, and that it would produce potatoes all the way up; that on kicking the barrel over it would have bushel or more of potatoes.

How to Take Life.

Take life like man. Take it just as thought it was-as it is-an earnest, vital, essential affair. Take it just as though you were personally born to the task of performing a merry part in it, as though the world had waited for your coming. Take it as though 1t was grand op- portunity to do and to achieve, to carry forward great and good schemes; to help cheer suffering, weary, it may be, broken hearted brother. The fact is. life is under valued by a great majority of man. kind. It is not made half so much of as should be the case. Where is the man or the woman that accom- plishes one tithe of what might be done? Who can look upon oppor tunities lost, plans unachieved, thoughts crushed, aspiration untull- filled, and all caused from the lack of the necessary and possible effort2 If we knew better how to take and make the most of life, it would be better than it IS.

Sound Sense in the Rearing of
 Children.

A venerable lady now living in New York, who has had ten children, all born and reared in cities, and raised nine of them, all living at the present moment, having reached the adult age, never allowed any of them as children to eat anything between meals except dry bread, though she was wealthy and could just as easily have pampered every whim. Her constant reply was, when they de- murred, "My dear, you are not hun gry, if you cannot eat bread" Now, it is very certain that her children did not inherit remarkably robust constitutions; and under the ordina- ry pampering system of mothers, it is fair to suppose that many of them would have died or become puny men and women. When a child knows by experience that he can have nothing but bread between meals, he will not ask for it unless he really needs it, and then he will not take enough to destroy his keener appetite for the good things at the table; while if he is allowed fruits and pastry, as so many children are, he will seldom come to his meals with fine relish for his food, and taking it without that relish, it fails to be rapidly assimllated, If indeed it do not enfeeble or derange the di gestiyc function.

 TuscUMBIA, June 3.-"We have struck rock bottom" Eighteen long years have passed since the people of your section have had one prosperous day. War and pestilence have been joined by mismanagement and general ruin. Values have been swept away; the rich brought to penury, and the poor to starvation's door. Taxed without incomes, our people have stood it, in the words of Mir. Beccher, "with a patience un- known before" Have we not passed through this long dreary night? Is not there hope for few years of healthy growth for this country? So it appears to your travelling cor
 respondent now. Give us five years of peace, and "let alone policy" on the part of our rulers, with the cur rency, and you will see the northern tier of the cotton belt the most thriv- ing, prosperous, happy country in this nation. We are on the eve of a great reversion of affairs, and the opinion of those who are looking ahead is that we will now have an advance in values along the entire line. The first and surest will be Q demand for lands. While our gov ernment bonds bear an interest oi four per cent, it is an indisputable fact that our lands, at present prices, pay safe income of ten to twenty per cent. One hundred thousand dollars of bonds will only pay the owner four thousand dollars, while the same money in lands, handled with ordinary prudence, will pay the landlord a safe and sure income of ten to fifteen thousand. Let the capitalists open their vaults and again set this country's affairs to running; give the laborer work and fair wages; invest their Idle money in lands, wagons, mules, etc., and build ub the waste places, and let thent .4ook to mother earth for their income instead of to coupons upon bonds issued upon a country's sor- row and paid by the sweat and toll of the poor mans labor. The two great parties are now so evenly bal
 anced that each must work solely for it's country's prosperity or go under "a sure safeguard for the people. Sectional hate, party blindness and political demagoguery must no long CT govern us. Forgetfulness of the past, and strong united effort will make this section what God and na- ture intended it to be-a prospering and beautiful habitation for all men of every party, calling and creed. The tide has turned, and the general outlook for the States of Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississip- pi is today ten per cent better than in 1878. Gods nobleman, ''the hon. est tarmer," is again master of af- fairs, and his rule will be governed by his motto-"Peace. plenty and prosperity" TRAVELLER.

Times Journal, St. ouis:--At- torney General Deyens has decided that the squatters who are occupy ing portions of the Indian territory cannot be prosecuted under exist ing statutes for conspiracy against the United States. Senator Lamar has introduced bill providing for such prosecution, but Senator Vest has introduced bill to organize the territory into State and admit it in- to the Union. It is clearly evident that legislation is necessary in the matter, and believing as we do that the territory can be opened to the civilization of the white man with out prejudice to the rights or inter est of the Indians, we trust that the views of Mir.

Dr. Carver, at a recent exhibition in England, placed ten glass balls on the ground and fired a ball into the turf immediately beneath. The missile tearing up the soil, threw the balls into the air, and they were broken as they rose. The doctors greatest feat was performed for a wager of one hundred pounds ster- ling, that he would hit an apple up on the end ot knife held by his colored attendent, riding on horse back at full gallop at Q distance of thirty yards. A large apple was stuck on the end of a pruning knife. The negro mounted a horse and held the target with his left hand as far as possible behind his body. The start was made about and hundred yards away, and when the rider came within rauge, riding at a furious gallop, the docter fired. The attempt was failure, but on the second trial he struck the apple, knocking it into dozen pieces.
