property at private sale, to COM
pan;es in which they were principal
stockholders.
These and other strange things I
saw and was told in a few brief
hours. The most interesting event
Of my tourney, however, was a visit,
to the hall Of state. Justice sat as
chief executive, with Mercy and
Love as associates. and Charity as
prosecuting officer. Many minor
cases were soon dismissed or re-
ferred, and l heard opinions on some
cases of local interest. The first
complaint alleged that a certain
editor in Utah had schemed and
bought until he had got corner on
the Self Esteem market, and the
rest Of the mortalS were becoming
sloyenly through lack of personal
appreciation; that the typefound-
ers, after using all their efforts and
uniting in single purpose, had
failed to supply the demand
for cap" rs, WIS and e's. Several
important witnesses had been ex-
amined-by the messenger to
earth-the testimony of whom was
not important, with the exception
of the prisoner. 1t was something
as follows: 81 have always remem-
bered myself that I had considered
that [ should, before [ became very
old, get to be a-I-I-editor. 1t
always seemed to me that editors
did not know anything, and that /
would have to live that / might
show them what l was intended to
teach myself. When L got chance
to become my own editor, | jumped
at it. l began to think, and / sue
ceeded so well that my brains could
work in few years. l thought it
my duty to let the public know
about me and mine. My father was
an unknown man, but it sounded
much nicer to call myself the son
of governor or something digni-
fed. Then my own pedigree, or
rather the pedigree of my acts,
where l had been and seen, not been
and not seen were truly wonderful.
Anything pertaining to my family
must be trancendentallY interest
ing. and a marriage notice should
describe the why's and WherefOreS OF
the attachments" Much more in a
similar strain tired me, and / waited
patiently the decision. & few mo-
ments of consultation, and the jus
tice himself delivered this opinion
"Our prisoner has erred in many
particulars. First, he mistOOk bis
vocation. Second, he forgot that
decent modesty forbids a mans
speaking of himself or family ex-
cept when forced to do so. Third
newspapers are published for the
benefit and amusement Of the
general public. Fourth, a writer en-
joys no privilege that would justify
him in writing column of matter
twisted and distorted to allow Of in
Iserting I and a0e. The plain facts
should be told in plain way, with.
out superfuitieS. No paper should
occupy three columns in telling
what it is. Fill the paper with inter
esting matter,a the three columns
will be whole papers of ads. When
moving to a new place never believe
that the people are asses, and would
go to the dogs but for your presence
The prisoner is remanded to the Gus

scrlbers shall diminish in number,
and his best paying lads" be taken
out.
L would have heard more, but the
hour Of departure came and no
power could longer delay our move
nents. In few minutes I was
safe at home. No one has missed
ne. but I was overcome by excite
nent. and dared not tell my best
friends what had occurred.
