Washington, q. = The Herald's
Washington specisi says: On behalf OF
Allen G Campbell, claiming the seat as
delegate from Utah in the next Con-
Rrese, upon the certificate Of Governor
Gurrsy, in whose case Mr.. George II.
Adams, the holdiRR-over clerk OF the
last House of Repregentatives,h has plsced
the name Of George .. Cannon, the rep
resentative of the Mormon Church upon
the roll, the formal attention Of Clerk Adj
ans has been called to the recent deci-
sion of Chief Justice Hunter in the Third
District Court Of Utah, that Cannon is not
a citizen of the United States; that the
certificate held by him as certificate of
naturalization was obtained by fraud,
and has been fraudulently used, and is
void on its face. In view of this decision
and of further facts, as set forth at length
in the printed brief accompanying the
communication, that on the 9Th of. Janu-
ary last, after full hearing of counsel
on both sides, the governor Of the terri.
tory rendered q decision IN favor OF
Campbell, and issued to him the certi6-
cate as delegate elect, and that on appeal
taken by Cannon to the United States
District Court of Utah, this decision Of
Governor Murray was sustained. CLERK
Adams IL asked, first, whether he proposes
to continue the name of Geo. @. Cannon
on tie roll of'the house, IS delegate freIa
Titan; second, il not, whether he will
recognize the certificate of the governor
by placing on the roll the name of A. 6.
Campbell? Adams has made no written
reply, but orally has stated that he cared
nothing for the question Of citizenship,
and would have put Cannon's name on
the roll even had he known him to be an
unnaturslized Englishman. 1t is learned
from the sergeant alarms Office
that Cannon is regularly drawing his
pay every month as delegate from Utah
though he holds no certificate of election.
Campbell and his attorney, Judge j.. &.
Mcbride of Salt Lake, are now on their
way to Washington, and it is stated they
propose to bring to test in the courts
of the district the power Of holding
over clerk to place on the roll of the next
House person lacking the first qualifca-
ton. viz citizenship.

Writing for the Press

There are thousands of Young folk
who long to write for the papers and
get well paid for it. From the first they
think they ought TO receive three or
four dollars column, valuing their at
tempts by the labor expended upon
them rather than by their capacity for
pleasing the public. Now to get hand
somely paid one must write handsome
ly; to write handsomely one must know
what the public knows or would like to
know, and be able to tell it in such q
style that the public will BE- eager TO
hear it. There are thousands who long
TO write but have no special aptitude or
preparation or resource for writing,
just as there are thousands who long
To I've rich but cannot compass their de-
sircs in that direction, and thousands
who long to be beautiful, and vainly
exhaust fashion, cosmetics, corsets,
and all that in the attempt. Mean
time, those who are bound to succeed
at writing and shave it in them to
succeed, will keep ON steadily and
quietly at their books and their pens,
climbing up slowly, it may be, but
steadily, to place and pay. first deserv-
ing success and then attaining it-just
as men grow rich by small accretions
at first and larger accretions afterward.
There is an immense reading public,
and there must be an immense army of
writers to supply the demand. As ed
ucation and intelligence advance, the
demands on writers for higher and
higher grades of literary work and
newspaper work will advance, and the
more difficult will it be to fill the high
est places of honor and emOlument in
the world whereof the pen is the power
But the lists are open to all, and some
must surely succeed. Why not you as
well as another?

Filial Piety of Rats,

noise like that which rats make when

ter, it appeared second time, con-
Quoting by the ear a rat larger than

old one. Having left it at the side of
the hole, another young rat joined the
former one, and both together traversed
my chamber, picking up small pieces
of biscuit which had fallen from the
table ut suppcr-timo the previous even
ing. They then carried these crumbs
TO the old one at the side of the hole,
This attention of the animals aston
ishcd me. observed them with great
er care, and came to the conclusion
that the old rat to which the other two
rats brought something to eat was
blind, because it did not find but by
touch the biscuit held out to it. no
longer doubted that the two young ones
were its children, and the assiduous
providers for a blind parent. adj

ture, which has planted in all animals
an intuilive tenderness and gratitude,

toned TO their faculties. While | was
making these reflections, and feared
that these little animals might be in
terrupted, our senior surgeon opened
the door of my room. The two rats
uttered cry, rs if they wanted to give
warning of the danger to the blind one;
and Notwithstanding their fright, they
were unwilling to save themselves I'M
ill the old one was in safety. They
both returned into the hole after their
parent, serving. SO to say, as a rear
