Women are now tackling every pro-

hardly walk of life adown whose shad-
ed paths We do not find the young lady
sauntering in her charmingly careless
manner.
Many ofthem are becoming BARRIERS.
and successful ones, too. There is /
gentle touch required by a barber
which is very grateful to the victim
and which is easily picked up by the
lady apprentice. There is nameless
joy that steels into a mans soul when
musical voice tickles his ear as he
lies in the chair with his eyes closed,
while the tips Of rosy fingers take him
by the nose and pry open his mouth.
and dainty twist Of the wrist fills his
back teeth full of soap and rainwater.
Oh, woman Little do you know
what power for good you possess.
When you jab a mans head back
against the gable end Of barber chair
and hang it over behind so that his
Adams apple sticks up into the seen

gobbler that has died ofstarvation,L i c"

creation where he IS as weak and ,ysc
table as a child.
Then you canwear him out with an
old razor that you have shaved the
whole world with. Then you can peel
off one feature after another and throw
it into an old nail key and while You
slice him up into sausage meat you can
talk to him and entertain him and
make him think he is having chunk
of luxury ladled out to him IS no other
living man ever got.
If a female barber is handsome, she
can shave her customers with bed slat
and powder their faces with Cayenne
pepper and giant powder, and it will
be all right.
A homely female barber, however.
would have nothing to do but hone UP

BRIGHAM'S SUCCESSOR
President John Tsy|sFs Luxurious Styl, d

For the past week new invoices of
costly furniture tor the Amelia palace
have been arriving daily. Yesterday
six loads of magnificent chairs and sofas
were dumped down in the back yard.
Every hourin the day the hard-work-
ing, bronze-isted t;the-payers stop in
front of the palace and gaze upon these
costly baubles, and make mental in
ventories Of how much they have
tsieived and dug and sweated TO pay for
John Taylor's extravaganza. There
are sofas in the outfit which cost S1so
apiece, easy chairs which cost SIS and
carpets which cost $500 for eacn room.
The style in which Taylor proposes to
live IS in marked contrast with his
humble circumstances in the years
when he played second fiddle to the
big boss Brigham. All that time he
had hard work to get along, and when
elevated to the position of seer and
revelator, George Cannon offered him
one of his houses to live in, because
his house was too poor an abode for
prophet of the Lord. Since Taylor
has been able to grasp the reins Of
power, he has made his hay at lively
rate. but his grasping energies are not
to the Strengthening Of the st.kes of
Zion, but to the vulgar accumulation
Of riches. The poor dupes Of his doc
trines wear shabby clothes and live in
wretched adobe huts, that they may
pay tithes and enable the sleek fraud
who rules the church and handles the
cash-box, to lounge amid luxurles
which cannot be furnished in Utah,
but must Of necessity be procured in
New York. 1t is estimated that the
furniture cost $50, but those who
have inspected it say that the palace
cannot be furnished in the style Tay-
lor contemplates for less than SIS, 900
.tos1oo, 900,
The question which the saints are
beginning to ask themselves is, "Where
does John Taylor get all his money,
unless he appropriates it bodily from
the tithing fund.-" This money, the
Mormons think, should go to beautify
the temples of the Lord. instead of
being squandered on Taylor, who
hasn't revealed any thing Of any ac-
count since he went into Office. Tay-
lor's excuse for this course is that he
is not fitting up the palace for himself,
but for the Princes and potentates of
Europe, and Senators and Congress.
men who may happen to emlgrate this
way. The cellar is to be stocked with
the best champagne-for visitors to be
entertained with; but when John
Taylor thinks bottle is liable to spoil,
he feels at liberty to slip down stairs
and save the wine. The Saints say
that it IS no wonder the ghosts will
not let the palace alone.-SaA Lake

WESTERN JOURNALISM

in one day than the journalism of the

count for the fact that while it l.
stronger and more powerful, it is 4,
the same time more rugged and less
finished. An editor in New York,
Boston or Philadelphia writes one o,
two leaders week only, while his
compatriot IN the West writes two OF
three leaders day, and paragraphs
from forty to sixty subjects at the same
time, besides reading his own proof

any other of the thousand and one
Ills human flesh is heir to, and who
attempts to palm off a little bosh on
occasion; these aesthetic readers and
astute philosophers will pounce down
on him in a jiffy, and he is either
bounced or so bedeviled that he is on
his knees praying ardently for one of
these huge mountains to fall on him
and hide his shame or misery from
human eyes.
An editor in the mountains who
isn't up in all the isms, who isn't a

man, religionist, a prize fighter,
thug, mining expert, an artist

of stumps all the time, and he is often

of our Eastern brethren have an idea
that Western editors pathway is one
of those flower bedecked highways he
reads of, he had better disabuse his
mind Of the foolish hallucination at
once, and take on alittle of the actual
situation pointed out above. 1t will
save him some trouble and possibly
much future misery and bitter humane
disappointment. Good people every
where should pray for the western
journalist, and pray with all your
might at that-LeadmM Demoa,at.

that the White River Utes went to
Uintah, but remained only long
enough to obtain their money, re-
turning to White River ito trade. "
Meacham, the Ute commissioner,
allowed them to remain three days,
but they refuse to leave, having
been at White River over two
weeks. Many of the Utes are re-
turning from Unkah and hiding in
the mountains about the post
Meacham offered them wagons
plowS and horses to work, which
they refused. Captain Jack, who
commanded the Utes in the fight
against Thornburg, September, 1879
said to Meacham: "Utes no want
farms; Utes go back to Colorado
White River, hunt buckskin; heap
trade buckskin on White River
Utes no want wagon; wagon no
good to hunt buckskin." Reports
also come that several ranches near
White River have been burned, the
occupants being driven to the mill
tary post. A number of Uncom-
pahgre Utes are now trading at
White River.

fifteen passengers and then marched
the conductor into a Pullman car,
and then back through the train to
the express and baggage car, and
with pistols at his head compelled
Express Messenger Ben Sain to
open the safe, which they Iifled.
Getting off, they fired several shots
at the engineer to expedite him. 1t
is not believed they had confede-
rates on the train. The robbery
occurred about 10 o'clock pm, and
required about twenty minutes.
Their total plumber from the express

$4,000. This afternoon the railroad
company agreed to pay $1,000 and
