THE DEATH of Joseph 2. John
son, announced elsewhere in this is
sue Of the HERALD, will cause many
people to sorrow. Mr.. johnson was
in the broadcast sense a pioneer, his
whole life having been passed on
the advance Inc of civilization. He
was true and noble man whose
name is revered by scores of rela-
tTEes, and respected by thousands of
acquaintance. AS the st. George,
Silver Reef and lately the Arizona
correspondent of the HERALD, he
made himself familiar to our read
ers, and hisIletters were always in
teresting and instructive.

GOVERNOR NEIL, better known
Pee Wee, talks to the Idaho legis-
iature just as if he were full
grown man, and doubtless he thinks
he is. Men get strange ideas into
their heads sometimes. The Idaho
Salons in the past have been given
TO attending to their affairs and ig-
noring the small sized executive and
his balderdash. 1t is possible the
present assembly understands not
only its own business, but theneeds
of the territory quite as well as Mr..
Neil does,

CHRISTMAS TIDE.

We meet Christmas now in a !
thousand evidences of Joyous and
glad tidings. We see it in the shop
windows, in the market stalls, in
the store decorations, in the ever
greens moving hither and yon, in
everything about us, but in moth
ing more plainly than in the bright
eyes of the little people-eyes that
are as bright as the star that shone
on the Babe of Bethlehem, nearly
nineteen hundred years ago.
Oh, what fun nice plum bunl
how I wis it never was done.
The juveniles are not the only ones
who are glad that dear old Chr ist-
mas is coming, with its rollieking,
good-natured, contagious laughter,
its turkeys and cranberries. its nuts
and sweetmeats, and its general
good cheer. Thanksgiving went
with its wine and bread, and rich
ripe fruits of the earth. Thanks
giving is altogether too material.
There is a degree of solidity
about Thanksgiving dinner
and festival that would spoil
Christmas. We are grateful for
the bounteous harvest, and for the
fattened creatures upon which to
fatten, butRno season can be hal.
lowed as the Christmas, which sur
rounds everything with its iRau.
ence. The straight-haired Puritan
even is charmed into something
akin to mankind, and the harshnes;
of everybody is now softened int
a semblance of sweetness. Fht
veins are thaWed, and warm tide
are thrown upon the heart, and thi
without the wassail bowl.
And now that it is Christina
time, memory ought to be sharp
ened; and while there is looking
about at the bright, the beautiful
and good on every side, let Us. turl
a little and search for the@ sor
rowful. This is the tim
when trouble shall be made to d.
from every open door, and the ricl
and poor mingle in sentiment ant
thought in the common jubilation
There are Golfers that have beel
filed with fayors by the hand o
plenty, and there are seant store
from which to draw the festiYa
wherewithal. IF the overaowinl
Golfers drop something into th,
empty larders of the poor, thi
Christmas cheer will be twice a
pleasant. There is time between
now and the great natal day 70
seeing that Christmas finds nobody
ia SAILS Lake forgotten; and there i
an aauEtaAcef0r all and 10 spare.

Deseret Club Medal Match.

The regular bi-monthly medal
match of the Deseret Wing Shoot

State road on Wednesday, Dec. 20,

will be offered as prizes some ele-

that has ever been contested for on
the grounds. The Deserets are a
young club, but are becoming quite
an institution in the city.

Tho obeedules OF the late President Garncld9
Mr.. Defroes, ex-Publlc Printer, compelled

OUT IN the great West, where men in
dulge in strong but expressive language,
it is not uncommon TO hear the expression,
when some one is pretending by devious
ways to arrive at certain ends, What in
hell does he mean?" The CRITIC, seeing
the course of the committee in charge of the
river front business, is tempted to use that
Western expression and exclaim, What
in hell does it meau?"

THE TRUE STORY OF Attorney General
Brewster's SCARED face Progress tells as fol-
lows:
''when only years old he was before fre,
and the long white apron which he wore, hay-
ing been dressed for n family dinner party
during the Christmas holidays, caught IN the
blaze, and before help could be summoned, as
he was alone with his little sister, he was so
seriously burned that his life was saved with
difhculty.'
Thus is the story, started by some lick
spittle, that the scars were the result of a
piece of heroism on his part when child,
in pulling his little sister out of the fire,
exploded, along with Washingtons hatchet
and Mary's little lamb. Instead of hero
ism it was vulgar accident.
THE usual tri-weekly paragraph came
out this morning, that the House Commit
tee on the Judiciary is still engaged in in-
vestigating the land grant railways, etc.
1t is kept as Standing matter" on the
galleys in some of the newspaper offices,
with orders to "insert on Tuesdays Thurs
days and Saturdays" THE CRITIC can
furnish the report of the committee in ad-
vance, and will probably do so next week.
1t has a newly invented instrument, not yet
patented, called the petit maniscope," by
which it measures Congressman and divines
their intents 1t is having this applied to
the Judiciary Committee and will furnish
the result to its readers.
THE UTICA IN. " Herald is reform
paper. Its virtues, like fresh varnish, is
sticky and painfully apparent. In its is
sue of the 18th inst. it reprints the story
nd hi
which first appeared in THE CRITIc-print-
ed it verbatim. 1t gave no credit, however.
in any other than a reform journal this
would be stealing?
Here, for instance, is the Sedalia Demo
crdt, which does not pretend to be a reform
journal. 1t has done this same trick by ap-
propriating note published in TIE CRITIC
of the 18th concerning the opening Of the
House by prayer by Rabbis at this session.
No credit is given. This, probably, was to
be expected from Jesse James organ.
WE HAVE RECEIVED letter from dis
tinguished member Of Congress from which
we publish the following paragraph

without dissent at once, and its passag
asked by unanimous consent. We hav
reason to suppose that the committee will
SO act at its next meeting. And we canno
conceive any reason, probable or possible
why the House should refuse unanimou
consent to uspend the rules and pass tn

Mr.. CHARLES S. WOLFE, of Pennsyl-

SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND seems like a
good deal of money to spend in fees to
newspaper correspondents, Congressman and
Senators. But when one considers that
the proposed steal is $60,00O0O0 it is OBJ
served that after all the fee is only
ten per cent; so that the reputation Of News
paper Row and Congress for cheapness is
relatively not IMPAIRED.

THE Reformers on Newspaper Row unani-
mously deny the report that they got any
money out of the Whisky Ring. This con-
firms our worst apprehensions. We had
hitherto hoped that at least small per-
centage was cash. But we infer from the
unanimous denial that the whole thing
was contingent. This is very distressing.

cepted His terms arc invariably cash.

IF THE Ways and Means Committee could
put through whisky steal of 100000, 900,
the Judiciary Committee ought to take
courage and make a push with its Northern

are brother Reed and his colleagues about,
to let the Ways and Means Committee get

An Egyptian Village.

An American, travelling in Egypt,
writes: A village consists Of u number
OF cubes, parallelopipeds and other rec
tangular shapes that answer for habi-
tations! This geometrical architecture
is followed, suppose, in memory of
Euclid, who was a native OF Egypt.
These rectilineul houses arc built
mostly OF mud or mud bricks, and have
doorway and several other small
openings in the side walls. observed
some of them we're constructed Of palm
branches interviewer and plastered also
with mud. At any rate one of these
villages looks more like q geological
formation than human one. One of
them in particular that I passed, some
fifty miles from Alexandria, looks like
landscape from the terrace epoch.
Most OF these communities are situa.
ted beside pool OF stagnant water.
This site, l suppose, is especially
chosen as 1t affords easy means Of
getting water for culinary purposes.
As the rate Of speed on the Alexandria
and Cairo railway is rather slow, I
many times caught a glimpse of a
maiden standing on the banks OF one Of
these miasmatic pools doing a little
washing. They used for the purpose
large shallow stone bowls. In some
instances the water is led about the
place in ditch in others / saw girls
carrying water to the village in large
stoneware vessels, generally upon their
heads. The sunny part of the town is
patronized at this season Of the year
tJanuary) by the male portion OF the
inhabitants, who do tall amount Of
sleeping.
Life is however better displayed
upon tho roof. This is the general
camping.ground for both animate and
inan innate objects. There are innum-
erable siestas, commencing at sunrise
and prolonged till sunset The matron
hangs her clothes here attaching one
end of the line TO the chimney and the
other end to one OF tho male sleeper,.
The dogs retire here after eating till
they are stupid from a carcass that lies
near the house. The cat and dog are
here on good terms, which was prob
ably not the case an hour before in the
space about the carcass. The chickens
and goats occupy that part Of the roof
not occupied by tho slcePers.
Ono thing never remember to have
seen on the roof, and that is the Arabs
patient little donkey.
Tho canine portions OF these COM
munitics may be divided into those
that are white and those that are black.

any particular time, they are very pro-
miscuously chewed by the blacks and

A Determined Grand Duches..

bctermtned Grand Duchess.
The German wife of the Grand Duke
Vladimir has will of her own, and is
not disposed to submit to the peculiar
regulations Of the Russian government.
She discovered not long ago that let
ter which she had written to her family,
and in which it is said that she com.
planned OF the dullness and insecurity
OF life at the Russian court, had been
opened by her own personal aid-de-camp
before delivery to the post. The angry
grand duchess complained to tho EN-.
peror, but to her astonishment met with
no sympathy from him. Still more en-
ragged she delivered her emphatic de.
cision that il the offender was not i'm.
mediately dismissed she would make a
public scandal and quit the country.
The aid-decamp was dismissed, but
only to receive q much moro lucrative
appointment.

Jcsse James Not Dead.

A great sensation has been created
among the police and county officials in
the vicinity Of Kansas City, Mo-, by the
fact that George Shepherd, e1-guerilIa
and bank robber, who claimed to have
sho. jesse James, the notorious outlaw,
at Joplin, Mo-, just after the Glendale
train robbery Of 1879. had proved
traitor through all that trouble. Shep-
herd knew the James brothers well, and
offered 10 60 among them and lead them
into an ambush where they were TO be
killed or captured. His offer was hc-
cepted, and for several weeks he wrote
letters 10 the detectives and at last
special train over the For. Scott rail-
road carried large posse OF men to
Galena, Mo, where a bank was to be
robbed.
The day previous to the talkei-oi
robbery Shepherd came tearing into
GAlena on horseback, claiming 20 have
killed Jesse James, saying tho gang
became suspicious OF him. He was
himself shot clean through the left leg
below the knee, and said two members
Of the band followed him mile and
Cummings hit him. The report was
believed, and every paper in the country
sounded Shepherds praise; but it has
become public that all the time
Shepherd was standing in with
the robbers and tha. a scheme
vas entered into whereby the OIL
GERS were TO be made to think that
Jesse was killed, and then the
large reward for his body, dead or
alive, could be obtained by Shep herd
and divided with Jesse. In order to
square himself with the Off sers Shep-
herd had to be slightly wounded, and
he deliberately held ont his leg and
allowed Jesse James to shoot ball
through it. The plan to get the re-
ward failed, and Shepherd, who has
been hanging about Kansas City ever
since the reported shooting, has ad-
mitted tho whole thing was aput.up
job, and says he would no more shoot
jesse James than he would his brother.
