LET Politics Alone"

thC bCaOh fACC l. tCSs.
A real clean, nice-looklng old
couple were at the Union Depot yes
terday to take train going South.
The husband was nearly seventy
years old, and pretty lively, and the
wife was only year or two behind
him, with a voice that meant busi-
ness every time she opened her
mouth. There was considerable po-
litical talk around the depot, and the
old man at once became interested.

the old gent as he spit on his hands.
"I've seen the time it took four Con-

"Peter, what are you doing here ?"
asked the old lady as she suddenly
appeared.
"Finding out about politics.
"What kind"
"All kinds

into the waiting room."
''Purty soon. So they had riots
and knock-downs, Ell? Lord! don

"Peter!' called the wife.
''Yes, I'm here. I suppose the

''Oh, yes"
'Great snakes! But 1 wish I'd

of the Ledger.
On TRAM, WEBER CANYON, UTAH,
Nov. 22.-Agreeable to my promise
when 1 left home, L will proceed to
give your readers brief sketch Of
progress since leaving Chicago. Our
annual convention closed its two
days session on Thursday evening
last, and on Friday morning at 9
O'Clock a large number of delegates
with wives, daughters, sisters and
mothers boarded an elegant Pullman
train at the Wells Street Depot of
the Northwestern Railway for a ride
of 2, ,358 miles to San Francisco.
The train was made up of five
sleepers, under care of Pullman Car
Conductor w. J. Wilson, Lne smok-
ing coach and baggage car. The
train was heavy one, anu hence no
rapid time could be made or was ex-
pected. The air was clear, and the
morning a delightful one, except that
it was extremely cold, the mercury
making its surface close to zero !.
This kind Of weather continued until
Monday morning, when we had pass
ed across the plains, gone up the
mountain to Shearman, 8,423 feet
above tide, and down again to Lara
mie. This morning, however, the
air is mild and delightfully."- pleasant,
though the ground along our route
has been lightly covered with snow.
The Northwestern Railroad Com.
pany and the Union Pacific Company
have made the most admirable ar.
range ments for our comfort. The
hotels have furnished excellent meals,
and everybody has been in the bes,
of spirits.
Our party numbers SO conductors
in actual service, representing about
fifty lines Of railway, and 81 ladies.
1t is absolutely the most companion
able excursion party have ever beer
with. The scenery has been move
and interesting, most of our party
never having been thas far west
The long level stretches of prairie
the wild and lovely canyons, and tn,
dreary and bleak outlook from th'
mountain passes all have a peculis
interest for our company.
We have seen occasional herds o
antelope close along the track feed
ing through the little patches OF dr.,
grass where the snow has blown away
Game has been plenty on our tables
such as venison, antelope, sage
hens, etc.
The Sabbath was observed by ou
party in an orderly and commendabl
manner. Religious services were hel,
in our rear sleeper, where all VIII
could find seats and standing roor
were present. Brief addresses, praye
and singing occurred, and the NEE,
ing was really an enjoyable one, last
ing about one hour.
!, We shall reach San Francisco o
Wednesday morning, and remain fiv
or six days. On our way home W
have invitations to visit Virginia City
Salt Lake City and Denver, whic
may prolong our excursion a day G
) two over the allotted time.
Truly yours, S. c. MOORE.

Lieut.. Gen. William recumseh
Sherman Immediately re entered the
parlor, for he felt it his duty to exc
cute, but never to question the Or
ders of his superior. He found Mr..
Dean very much disinclined to his
suggestion. Said that gentleman:
''Bill, excuse me, General, for
calling you Bill, but we are old
friends, and upon my honor. l had a
bath lately"
"Well, when and where?''
s'Why, in '63, when some of your
blue-coated abolitionists chased me

sides the Madame will not entertain

was a ladies' man, so here goes, but
it is an awful change. especially at
my time of life." *
The bath was taken, the clean
shirt donnad tho ontar hahilimants
came disenthralled from the carpet
mill, and the trio sat down to dinner.
At the close of the repast Mrs. Sher-
man, who had heretofore been silent,
said:
"Mr. Clay, will you have some
sugar in your cofee?''
"Certainly, madam replied Mr..
Dean. 'but you fatter me. You
mistake me for the late distinguished
Senator from Kentucky
"You are certainly related to the
Clays, are you notP'
"Only a namesake, madam r.
"Well, we'll! I knew Henry Clay
and Cassius NJ Clay, both brillian
men, my dear sir, and can honestly
say, without flattery, you are more
deserving Of the name than either o
them.h
The General here interrupted, by
saying that he had business at th'
War Department, when both departed
after leaving a polite adieu with tn
hostess.

a heavy blow between the eyes. Both

when Mr.. Spriggins requested that
the lady be summoned, policeman

her presence in court, which had just
