London, 3O.-A Berlin dispatch, TO be
taken in connection with the statement
that when the budget Of the minister of
public worship comes up for discussion,
next week,in the Prussian Diet, Bismarck
will take opportunity to give an explana-
ton on the church question, says: As
neither the ultramOntsne party nor the
centre, nor Prussian bishops can be re.
garded as imperative sources of informa-
ton touching the plans of the Vatican,
Bismarck has determined to demand
directly from the people what really are
the grievances Of the church which pre-
vent the establishment of solid peace
When the answer Is received, Won Pertt
Hummer, minister ecclesiastical affairs,
will draft bill abolishing the severest
clauses of the May laws.
The strength Of the German army on
a peace footing, as shown by the military
budget of 1S80-Sl, Is 17,227 officers, and
4OI ,659 men. This does not include the
projected increase, which the Cologne
Gazette says is chiefly destined to rein
force Alsace-Lorraine gsrrisons. An ar
tillery regiment is to be stationed at
Metz, and heavy artillery will be divided
among the fortresses of Alsace- Lorraine.

The Utes,

Washington, 30.-Governor Pitkin, OF
Colorado, to-day resumed his testimony
before the House committee on Indian
afi4irs. He related incidents of his inter-
views with Jack and other Indians, GO
ing to show that Ouray gradually lost his
influence over younger Utes and that a
feeling of dissatisfaction snd war spirit
had for some time past been gaining
ascendency with them. He said some of
the scouts had, previous to the Thorn
burgh fight, been warned that Indians
would attack the troops at or near Bear
River, and that the general opinion
among the people of Colorado was that
the outbreak was premeditated.

SALT LAKE
DAILY HERALD.

The HERALD enters upon the new
year with better hopes and brighter
prospects than it ever before enjoyed.
The remarkable success of the paper
in the past, az manifested by its large
and steadily growing subscription
list, its increasing advertising patron
age and the expressions of goodwill
towards the journal which greet US
from all quarters, conyinces the pub
fishers that they ere doing what they
set out to do-nsmely, furnish a
newspaper that the people would like,
and therefore support. The HERALD,
as in the past, will be the peoples
paper. Independent in a political
sense, it will always be found
on the side of the people, outspoken
on questions affecting the rights of the
masses; battling for local selfgovern-
ment and the largest liberty to indi-
viduals consistent with public good;
laboring for pure, honest and eco
nomic administration OF government;
treating public matters dispassion- |
ately and employing language ealcu-
lated to enlighten the reason of men,
rather than influence their passions. |
and working for peace and the de-
velopment of the resources Of the ter
ritory, instead of trying to create strife
and retard progress. With our in
creased facilities for gathering news,
both by telegraph and mail, the en-
ployment of larger number of cor
in different sections of
the country, and the better arrange
ment of all the many details of the
establishment, we confidently promise
to make the SALT LAKE DAILY
HERALD better paper than ever.

GravelyiIle.:

Gravel & Goulet are saving $4,000 feet OF
lumber, from $4,000 to $4,000 shingles, and q
considerable amount of lath and pickets, each
day in their mills at Gravelville. They have
orders on hand for 100000 shingles. Thei,
Touring mill has all tho work it can conven-
iently handle. Sixteen men have employ.
ment in and about the mills. Another run OF
stone will be put in the Touring mill next fall
The saw mill being unable to meet t he rapidly
increasing demands upon it, Gravel d dou-
let will next year replace it with much
larger one, that will be expected to accomplish
all the work required. Next fall they intend
to put stock of goods in their store at Ora
velville worth about eight thousand dollars.
Business has increased at these mills since
they were built, at the rate of about fifty per
cent each year, and it is probable that the in
crease will be still greater for several years
vet.

Exemption from Poll Tax.
Little Falls, June 8, 1880.
Editor of The TRANSCRIPTS;

Little Falls, June y, 1881.
Editor of The transcripts:
I notice, in your issue of June 4, COR
dinance No. H." the purport of which, as
I understand it, is to exempt certain per-
sons from highway labor, viz: the
members of the Hook and Ladder CON-
pany of this village. l do not intend
anything in this short article to be con-
strued into meaning that do not appre-
ciate the services Of such company, but
there are few facts connected with this
"Ordinance No. IA" which arc not, per-
haps, generally known. The said CON-
pany comprises all, or nearly all, the best
able bodied men in the village, which is
right; but I do not think it right to de-
prive the village of these mems services
on the roads, especially when we have
not cent in the treasury to be applied
to this purpose, in fact, for any purpose.
The citizens Of this place are not probab-
ly aware that we have or miles of
road on the west side which is badly in
need of repairs. With all able bodied
men exempt, and nothing in the treas
ury, how is this work to be performed
What is the difference between working
or paying a poll tax and paying special
tax to support the village organization
The only result to be derived from ,"Or-
dinance No. IA" is the expense of. draft
ing and publishing the same (Which is
not smalD, and the saving to each of the
firemen Of $3.50, and the leaving of the
roads in a disgraceful condition. From
whence does village like this derive it's
support? 1t is from the farmers and if
the farmers have no means of getting
here, by reason of impossible roads, they
will seek some other market, to our det-
riment. Now, would it not have been
much better to have made arrangements
whereby some of the bowling, swearing
and obscenity connected with certain
portions of the village could have been
stopped, and levying a tax for the pur-
pose, if necessary, than to have passed an
"ordinance' the legality of which IS
doubtful, whereby we arc deprived Of one
of our principal sources Of revenue? In
my opinion the Council had better pass
"Ordinance No. 49," and then adjourn
sine die. Yours,

Electric Experiments,

AS had generally been supposed, j. D. Har-
ker, Esq, our inestimable railroad and tee-
graph agent, has not abandoned his electric
light experiments, or at least had not up to
last Friday evening. Whether he has since
done so no one but J. D. can tell, as he is now
very reticent on that subject. During the Sc
we're thunder storm on the above mentioned
night as the electricity came swapping through
his instruments he remarked, "Now you lust
hold on, and will show you what an electric
light 49," He brought from its hiding place
an ingenious little device consisting of an
empty beer bottle with two insulated wires
running through the cork, connected on the
inside by thin wire, composed of plumbago,
bent in the shape of horse shoe. The outer
ends were left long enough to attach to the
telegraph wires, thus receiving tho electricity
through his plumoago wire, which, as our in
ventiye friend explained, would instantly
throw out light rivaling the sun in brilliancy.
He set his beer bottle on the desk, disconnect-
ed his telegraph instruments from the main
wire and attached one of the wires of his cleo
trio lamp in good shape. He then picked I'D
the other wire and commenced thumb screw
ing it in place also, when a small section of
chain lightning came waltzing along the line
and made bin short call, J. D. made a"ay',
retrograde movement over the stove, where he
remained fer some moments with distended
eyes and bristling hair. As soon as he re-
covered his senses and the use of his legs he
gathered himself up and remarked, "Thats
paralyzing." He did not court the coouettish
fluid farther but admired it from his more
distant standpoint. While agent at Campbell
station, a telegraph pole near his Office was
struck by lightning, and part of the bot
followed along the wire to his office, bringing
in section of the roof and four or five feet
square OF the ceiling. His theory is that
a large iron safe in the farther corner of the
room from where the lightning came in at
traeted it, carrying him right along also. Any
way, he found himself perched on top of the
safe without any exertlon on his part, He
swears it took him four days to pull the tooth
picks from his person. ~,

AS this is leap year and the month of June
when the world is supposed to be in tune, and
the woods is full of candidates for president,
perhaps it would be appropos to say O few
words about the various candidates for matri-
mony that abound in these parts. Leap year
comes so seldom that the timid bachelors, hay
ing been on the anxious seat so long, begin
to fear that the ladies are forgetfu of the fact.
Now, do not mean to insinuate that the dear
creatures the ladies, not the gentlemen) need
encouragement particularly, but the occupants
Of the anxious seat aforesaid consider it would
DO just as we'll for some one to pat them (the
ladies, not the gentlemen) on tho back as a
gentle reminder that Borkus CHATS the gen.
tlemen) is willing and waiting. Now, while
we do not wish to personate, we cannot refrain
from mentioning few names of the more
tsm'd of our bachelor friends, whose shrink
ing natures disqualify them entirely from TAX
ing the initiative themselves, even in the most
delicate and indirect manner. To begin with:
There is our friend Mr.. Soule whose svpa-
thetic soul-e has swelled and burned with hone
and fear, has ebbed and flowed with doubt
and dispair for the last ~ years. There is no
doubt among his gentlemen friends that the
ladies are the ocean to the river of his
thoughts. Just a little encouragement, ladies,
and the fire that has been smoldering in his
bosom for the last II years viii be Warren
ted to burst forth into fame. But no is so
bashful. Then there is De-Lue Worthington
what beautiful name to tie to. Delou has
on more than one occasion expressed himself
Ito his gentlemen friends) that single blessed
ness was COMPOUNDED bore and that it is not
good for man to be alone especially in the
winter. Doc Wright is practicing croquet
with his friend Wetzel in the back yard, poor
fellows, they are dying to play with the ladies
but are too bashful to take the initiative. 1t
is q clear. case where physicians cannot heal
themselves Mr. Houde is outspoken in his
admiration of the fair sex, and he does dote on
children. he has fine home and would make

On Monday last there was a meeting at
the Court House Of real estate owners in the
village of Little Falls, to consult among them
selves and with the assessor in relation to an
equitable assessment of real estate here. The
meeting was not largely attended by real estate
owners, but the assessor and a number of
of prominent citizens were present, and the
assessment was changed very much from what
the old one was. A number of lots were
assessed six or seven times as high as hereto
fore, and the average for all the real estate
in the village is about three times as high as
under the old assessment. Thayer's water
power which was previously valued at s., 800,
was raised to $4,000.
