Dog Days.

MR. EDITOR We shall answer the ques-
tion which is so often asked, "Why is the
hot season in summer called the 'Dog
Days?'"
These days were originally known as the
Canicular Days. Canicuar comes from the
Latin word canicul-a little dog. In the
southern heavens there is constellation of
stars known by the name of CAMS Minor,
or, little dog; and directly south of it we
have the constellation CAMS Major, or, big
dog. These consultations were so called by
the ancient Chaldaic shepherds, who imag-
ined they saw the outlines of animals in the
groupings of the stars, hence the different
names of the consultations. The largest
star in the CAMS Major is at the tip of the
dogs nose and is called Sirius, or the Dog
star. This star is, by the way, the largest
and brightest fixed star visible in the heav-
ems. 1t is at present visible only in winter,
not later than April, at which time it sets at
about 8 p. IN. But in midwinter it is visi-
BILE throughout almost the entire night. 1t
can easily be found, being the brightest star
| in the South.
During the time Of the ancients, this star
rose in summer, and they reckoned
their dog days or dies caaicuiares, which
were 40 in number, from the time of its ris-
ing, taking 20 days before and 20 days after
its time of rising. The rising of the dog
star was, in ignorance, supposed to be the
occasion of the extreme heat and the dis
ease incidental to those days. From this
star we have, therefore, the name dog days
given to our hot summer days. The fact
that the star rises no more in sur hot season
proves that it is not the cause of the great
heat of the summer. In your next edition
we may state the reasons why our hot days
come after and not at the time that the sun
has reached its greatest distance north. B.

Boston Wool.

Boston, 28.-The wool market is
dull with few bHyers at present, and
the purchases have been mostly N
small lots. In some instances con-
cessions were made, but the bulk OF
wool is still held at the previous

to force sales, lower prices would
follow. Manufacturers are Indifferent
and will not stock up with wool until
goods move freely. ali kindI OF

ANOTHER OF Gen. Grants cousins
all OF whom, from the biggest
brother-in-lEw down to Oliver A.
Patton, late register OF the Salt Lake
land Office, were provided with fat
positions during Grants soiourn in
the White House-has come to grief.
Many OF our readers will remember
the sensation that was created in
Colorado a few years ago over the
discovery that the United States
marshal, O. G. Tompkins, was a
good many thousand dollars short
in his accounts. The mar
shall was indicted. but fed,
and we believe left his bonds
men in the lurch. Afterwards be
was put in a lunatic or inebriate
asylum, since which nothing has
been heard from him. 1t appears
that he soon secured his release from
the asylum, and has succeeded in
keeping out OF the clutches OF the
law, until the present time. A tele.
gram this morning brings the news
that the defaulter has been captured
and is NOW en- route for Denver, in
company with an officer. OF course
Gen. Grant should not be blamed be-
cause 60 many of his relatives are
thieves, but then it must make it un-
pleasant for him to have them ex-
posed every now and then. In the
list OF defaulters to the government
appears the name OF another United
States marshal OF Colorado. NJ. A.
Shsffenberg, who, between 1872 and
1875, is credited with stealing to the
amount OF 500. 74O. He is not reIa.
tive OF Grant.

THE LONDON Lancet says that regu-
larity and constancy in tie pursuit of
exercise are important if perfect
health is expected to result from its
employment. It is fer better for
men to lead altogether q sedentaIy
life than to be irregularly active.
This caution Is the more needed
since she transition from sedentary
habits to arduous and exhausting
physical labor is of frequent occur
ence. Again, the transition from
active habits 10 sedentary pursuits is
generally accompanied by marked
disturbance of health, since organs
reused to full activity by the stimulus
exercise gives to them are liable to
be functionally deranged when that
slimulus is Withdrawn. This, per
haps, would not be so frequently
observed, if instead of rslapsiug i'm
mediately, SIS is frequently the case
into idle habits as far as exercise ii
concerned, an attempt was made Il
engage regularly, for however short
time, in some pursuit which would
insure brisk muscular movement. 81
that the health acquired by exercise
during the vacation should not b
lost; and, moreover, that the bod!
when the next holiday period come
round should be found in fair condi
ton to undertake the increased ply

Not Guilty.

Louisville. KY, 2S.-The trial of
krueld, tor the murder OF Little,
closed at Nickolsville, to-day, with q
verdict of mot guilty." The killing
occurred on the 18th of December,
at Richmond, where both were prom
inent and respected citizens. The
mother OF their wives had died a
few months previously, leaving an
estate OF 5000 with Little, executor
and administrator of the estate. This
led to personal ill-ieeling between the
two men. whose wives were to share
j. equally, and on the morning named
Arnold went to Little's Office and, in
the absence OF any witness, shot him
dead. The theory of self defense,
upon which Arnold was acquitted,
was based less upon the testimony
OF witnesses than upon the probability
that the alteration would take place
when the two parties met. The YER
dict caused intense excitement 10 the
court room. Arnold's friends shouted
and surrounded him, while his wife
covered him with her body to prevent
his being killed. A strong guard took,
the prisoner to his door.

THE PROBABILITIES are that the
coming election for delegate to Con-
gress from this territory will be one
of the most exciting contests ever
held in Utah. An unususlly large
vote will doubtless be polled. and
each party will thereafter be better
able to reckon its strength. There
can be no question as to the result.
The Peoples candidate. whoever he
may be, will be elected by vote,
about as six or seven 70 one. But
what we want to cay this morning, is
to urge everybody. liberals as we'll as
the people, to register. The full vote
of Utah has never yet been cast. and
on November 2nd We would like to
know that all who ore entitled TO vote
will cast their ballots In order to
vote, not few will discover that they
have something to do-namely, to
get their names on the registry list.
The law does not allow any voting by
one not registered. The swearing
in business ia a nonsensical invention
Of some Beaver idiots. II did not
avail there nor will it anywhere.
We question if it will be attempted,
or if so, allowed, hereafter. The as
SCISSORS have completed the registrs-
ton for the November election,
80 far as visiting houses
is concerned. The rest must be
done by the voters themselves.
During the week commencing the
second Monday in September (the
18TH, the assessor in each county,
or deputy, must be at bis office
lin Salt Lake County, the County
Court House) and enter upon the re-
gistry list the name OF any voter who
may have been omitted ION such
voter appearing and complying with
the provision" Of the law il regard to
all voters. That il, the voter must
appear, and subscribe to the oath,
that all are required to take. when
bis name will be placed on the LIST,
and he will then be able to vote. Il
the citizen were registered and en-
titled 10 vote at the August election
and has not since changed his resi-
dence, be will be entitled to vote, bu
he must not rest contented in The
belief that if his name were merely
on the LIST for the last municipa
election be can vote at the election il
November, as that registration hal
nothing to do with the coming cleo
ton. 1t is the duty of every one en-
titled to vote to ascertain for q Ger
tsinty whether his name is on tht
list, and il it is not, to sec that it i
placed there when the list is open fol
