erS," works of necessity and charity excepted
Gaming aud recreation are also prohibited,
the penalty being fuo of six dollars
Shops and stores must not be open even "ior
the reception of company" but the sale OF
bread from bakeries and drugs and medicines
ID permitted, The courts of New Hamp
shire have held that ''any business tends
to tho disturbance Of others, and is conse-
Quently prohibited, which withdraws the
attention from the appropriate duties of the
Sabbath and turns it 10 other things"
Travelling on Sunday sin a decent and or
derby manner" is held to be not within the
meaning of the statute. In Vermont the
eXercie of-any secular labor, business or
employment, except works Of necessity and
charity, is forbidden under the penalty of n
fine not exceeding two dollars for each of
Tense. Persons must not "visit fro n house
to house, excep. ii BIO from motives of hui
manity or charity, or for moral or religious
edi6cation," Travel on tho Sabbath
is prohibited, and Sabbatarians are not
recognized II has been held, however,
that travelling to visit children ia lawful.
The statute which prohibits visiting from
house to house is practically dead letter.
Whoever keeps open his place of business,
or "does any manner Of labor, business or
work Except works Of charity and necessity
on Sunday in the Bay state, shall be punished
BY ilue not exceeding fifty dollars for every
toflense. liking part in any sport or game

arc allowed to work. 1t has been held in
Massachusetts that travelling TO supply fresh
meat to msrkolmen is lawful. and that walk.
ing simply for exercise and air is not travelling
within the meaning of the statute. Tho Sun.
day laws Of Rhode Island are about the same
as those OF Massachusetts, except that there
is no provision against travelling on Sunday.
The Connecticut statute prohibits any person
from ongaging in any business or recreation
on Sunday, and provides that "every pro.
prietor or driver of any vehicle, not en-
poyed in carrying the United States mails,
who shall allow any person to travel therein
on Sun lay, except from necessity or mercy,
ehall BIO find twenty dollars" The provis.
ions against travelling on Sunday arc not
strictly enforced in any part Of New England.
Sunday excursions are common, except in
Vermont, wherosuch thing has never been
known. Tho running OF cars for the pur-
pose Of conveying people TO and from church
is everywhere permitted on the ground that
such travel Is a necessity.

ssnted to the Mt. Vernon association by
General Grant" When or how he got the
flag Is not stated.
Among the many employees at Mount
Vernon Is q negro called Walter Washing.
ton, who claims to have been owned by one
Of General Wsshington's great grand
nephews." Aparty of ladies and gentlemen
were interviewing him and seeming TO get
much Amusement from bis answers, finally,
as they left the carrisgs.house, one of the
gentlemen handed him y quarter, saying US
he did so, "Say, do you vote for Mahone ~
"No sir" answered the negro, "they Amt none
of the old Firginny famblys gwine to vote
for Malone no more" Which raised a
great laugh.
The latest sensation in Washington is the
trial Of Presbyterian pastor, Mr.. Ramsdell
before the presbytery of the district, for
marrying q Catholic lady. In every other
respect he Is said to be a blameless pastor.
The motion to sever his connection With his
church was defeated by small majority.
This action was taken ia response to the Pc
tition Of small minority of Mr.. Ramsdel's
church, whose only objection to. him was his
"popish companion" Most of tho presby-
terry agreed that Mr.. Rsmsdell had behaved
badly in marrying a Catholic, bu! not badly
enough to DO punished. Adios.

not to make the ultimate rights of asignees

the determination of private rights. If the
party lost the advantage given him by the
Issuance OF the certificate TO him as assignee,

legally establish. 1t was error In the court
below to hold as conclusive the action of the
commissioner. Reversed and remanded.

For my old friend would neverslight me.
Oh, my new friend, he is smooth. he Is bland,
With n swslled ring or two on his hand;
He visits this one aud that lady fair;
He huns the latest new opera air;
He takes not the children on his kneel
We'll, wsll; l was foolish, and silly l see.

AS change my old friend for the new.
My good old.friend, he toiled at the pin,
He opened he door and entered IN;
We W re so glad TO welcome his face,
As he took Ia the room. his usual place,

He knew our joys, our griefs he sh AIRED,
Oh, never frisn with him compared.
We had tried him long, and founh him true,
Why, why, changed the old friend for the

He psa's q artliDg ring at the gate;
There's hurry and pomp, there's pride and

Herself Once More.

Pine street. says the Daily Report, which
has been wearing a somewhat deserted APP
p~earance Of late, owing to the holidays, is
beginning to assume Its wonted air Of
hustle and business. The cheerful chip
per stands on the sidewalk and discusses
the chances OF an early bonanza on the
Comstock, while the playful pointer draws
his victim into the dark recesses OF Pauper
Alley and pours into his ear the oft-told
tale that "this is on the quiet and dead
from the inside, and don't you forget il"
The brokers hustle into the Board with
their plethoric- looking, but thinly-flled
order books the messenger boys run and
screech and jostle and tread on peoples
toes, and " the street" is herself again.

The Park city pimcultx,

James McGrath, it will be remembered
as the man who had the difficulty OF Park
City with q gambler named o. M. WEIGH.
The trouble arose over q game OF cards,
and the former slapped WEIGH in the face.
They met next morning, exchanged shots,
both were wounded, aud McGrath has
since died. Welch still lives, but how his
wound will ultimately terminate il is diff
cult at present to state. McGrath died ON
July 8, and his body was brought to Salt
Lake City by his friends, who arrived early
on the morning OF the 4th. lie has a sis
ter in San Francisco, to whom he willed
all his property. 1t is to be hoped that
the serious result of this foolish duel will
be q lesson to the men of Park City. There
is no trouble that the six-shooter can set
tie, and in fact it were better that the
mountain boys would leave their six
shooters in Sam. Colts factory at Hart
ford, Connecticut, than to leave their
bones to bleach in Utah soil. Welch's
wounds are said to be not necessarily ia
tai. 1t is to be hoped that this is so, as he
will come out Of this experience a wiser
and q better man. He now lies in a criti-
cal condition, and it does not appear that
any legal steps have been taken in the
matter.

"HaZeI Kirke.'s

The critic OF the Sacramento Bee speaks
OF this play as follows "As q drama and
as a performance it is one of the finest
dramatic treats we have ever seen. In
fact we do not remember Of any previous
play being produced with such even and
general excellence. The company is q
splendid one. each being an artist in his
or her character, thoroughly drilled, en-
tirely conscientious and decidedly imbued
with genius. There are no star parts in
the piece, bnt there are some much more
difficult and effective ones, and far better
acted. The play is a pure. good, whole
some English idyl, whose clear tone Of
purity and nobility running throughout is
in strong contrast with the immoral and
sickly, mawkish and adulterous gush per-
vading the average dry goods drama"
