near Salinas City. A social party was
being held, attended by some Of the
neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs Fenton.
Among those who were there were
Thomas Garside and his niece, Alice
Garside, young lady about twenty
years Of age. Shortly after supper, and
just as dancing was about to be resumed,
Garside stepped up to his niece and
asked her if she vas ready to return
home, to which she replied in the mega
tive, whereupon he made thrust at her
with knife blade, which entered her
left side, passing between the tenthand
eleventh ribs and penetrating the lung.
infiicting very dangerous wound. A
physician was summoned Immediately
and dressed the wound. Hopes are en-
tertained of the young lady's recovery,
although she is in great danger from
the wound. Immediately after the perpe-
tration of the deed Garside disappeared
amid the confusion that prevailed
and NO trace of him has yet been found.
No cause can be assigned for the rash
act.

any other country in the world. She has
one mile Of completed road for every 3S1
inhabitants. The roads are all owned

The Car seems to have a pleasant
time these days. The festive Nihilist
is silent, as is also his bomb; but an
outbreak may be locked for at any mo-
ment. The poor man who lives in a
cottage with the woman he loves is
better off than the Car with his mil
lions of money.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson. who was the
suggester Of the great Cotton Exposition
at Atlanta, says that the reality now
before his eyes "exceeds in its scope, in
Its influences and its completeness any
thing that he ever dared to drem."
He declares the exhibition to be the
visible and tangible result of an indus
trial revolution now in process of ac-
complishment at the South and strongly
urges upon railroad companies the pro-
priety of reducing their fares, that
themselves and the country may be
more largely benefited by an increased
attendance of visitors.

The history of railway progress in the
United States has demonstrated that
the speed of trains can be safely in
creased in proportion to the strength of
the roadbed and the reliability of the
machinery and appliances used. Steel
rails are an important factor in fast run
ming, as are also tough axles and wheels,
the improved couplings, switches, brake
appliances, etc. A solid roadway, in
Guiding staunch bridges and culverts,
and the most approved mechanical ap-
pliauces under the control of competent
trainmen, are essential to safety at all
times. If these conditions are kept in
the highest attainable perfection, the
speed Of trains can be increased to the
maximum without any serious increase
of risks. Pittsd,ug Commercial Gazette.

No Statehood for Utah.

In discussing the possibility Of ad-
hitting more States into the Union,
says the Salt Lake Tribune, when Utah
is reached the debate closes, in three
words, "it is impossible" 1t has been
so for years, it promises tc be so indef-
initely. And it is simply because the
laws are disobeyed here. The Union
can bear this easy enough, but can
Utah? Why should the young men of
Utah be denied the honest ambition
which warns the hearts of the youth
of other regions of the Republic? Why
should this people have no vote in Con-
gress or in the selection of President?
Why should this remain simply res
ervation to be governed by men sent
here from other States: It is plain
enough. In society it will not do to
permit every person to carry out his
own whims. There is no rule that will
answer and cover FL cases except that
pointed cut by the laws. We have that
rule here, but it is not only disobcyed
but scoffed at and derided. And hence,
though there are States to the right and
left of Utah, clear across the continent,
Utah must remain outside the fold
the influence of her people can amount
to nothing they are derided in the
National councils, and the youth of this
Territory can nurse no higher dream
than that of being selected for some
petty office, and in that office to be
perpetually under the spell Of this
superstition, which prescribes on what
terms man shall perform his duty. 1t
is strange that such spell can hold so
many thousands Of intelligent men.
We would think that there would be
independence enough among the peo-
pie to at least question by what author
ity they are made slaves, but there is
not. They accept the conditions, be-
cause from childhood they have been
accustomed to accept assertion for
proof, and so when their leaders assert
their right to enslave them, they have
not the strength to resist. Where is
there a second Peter the Hermit to
raise his voice to pursuade this people
to 60 on crusade against wrong and
in favor of redemption and liberty.

NO, Don ; we'll go. home. It's very
late, ana we won't keep you up
These and similar expostulations
were made, but Col. Don kept on
insisting. At last one of the gentle
men suggested that mebbe Mrs.
Morrison might object. The colonel
seemed deeply offended by this. He
drew himself up proudly and said
sc%ornfully, Now you shall come i'll,
for I intend. to show you that 1 am
