TIE MORMON REBELLIoN.-It looks
now as though there might be a call for
United States troops from Salt Lake city
before many months to quell a Mormon
rebellion that seems to be organizing there.
The governments Utah commissioners
provided for by the Edmunds bill are now
in the heart of Mormondom, and their
presence at the capital Of the Saints
has created considerable excitement among
them. Not long ago the Mormon church
set apart $40 600 to Test the constitutional.
ity of tho Etmunds law in the courts, but,
if they mean what they say, the Mormons
have no idea of surrendering anywhere
except in the last ditch.
The United States commissioners were
greeted upon their arrival in Salt Lake
John Taylor, George Q. Cannon and Jo-
seph i. Smith, who are authorized to
speak for the first president OF the church.
which is II bold defence of polygamy MS a
part If he Mormon religion, and an
eXhorta'iun to stand shoulder to shoulder
in resisting tho United States laws. "Lct
us they say, guard well our franchise
and in one unbrokcn phalanx maintain and
sustain our political status, and as patrons
and hccmcn operate together in defense
of what few liberties are left u.s.
If this does not mean rebellion, what
arc the Saints driving al? In June last
George Q. Cannon, late delegate in con
gress, after being ousted from his seat in
the House, went back to his constituents
and made u speech. In the course of this
remarkable address he said; I'm spite o
congress, in spite of any statute loveled
against us, in spite of II fanatical and hos.
Tie pulpit in spite of all the hostile forces
that can be brought against us. we must
and will continue to fight for our privileges

THE DENSITY oE POPULATION Rho lc
Island is the state that has the largest
population in proportion to its area. the
extreme smlllness of the latter giving it
m exceptional density Of hahitalion This
state, with its 2j5 persons to the square
mile, being excepted, Massachusetts then
becomes remarkable with its 222 to the
square mile. No other is near it; but
New jersey Is next conspicuous with its
l52 and Connecticut with 129. New
York's great cities bring her fifth on the
list, with los persons, in spite of the great
extent. Five states ouly have population
between 100 and 80 to the square mile,
these being Pennaylvania and Maryland,
with about % each; Ohio with Is, Indiana
and Illinois with jj. A. the other end Of
the scale Of states is Oregon with not quito
, to the square mile, while California and
Nebraska have not quito G. The terrific
ries are all of course very thinly pGoplel
in proportion to their areas, except the
District of Columbia, if indeed this can e
classified among them. The district nltu.
rally is far more denscly populated than
any of the states, having 2,960 to the
square mile; but obviously it is to be COM
pared in this respect rather with cities or
counties containing cities. These various
densities are based on the census of 1880
in all cases they are now greater, rs the
populations have since then increased
while the areas have remained the same.

FLORIDA FRUTS. that any
hing relating to the fruit resources of our
country is always agreeable to your read.
ars, permit me to mention somo Of the
more rare tropical fruits which we may
expect in the near future TO be brought
from Florida. I wish more particularly
o speak Of 4 remarkable tree termed the
Carrier Pdplya." which attains a height
1f about twenty feet and bears Mt from
hree 20 fur years from the seed fruit in
shape like 4 very large pear, with luscious
yellow meat This tree possesses the
following remarkable properties: Its
'rult j. delicious and wholesome for the
abe either raw as n desert or cooked as
a sauce. Its juice is fine cosmetic for re-
moving tan and freckles from the skin and
quite eff ,alious in making any kind of
meat or poultry tender. Its leaves possess
detergent quality that makes them an
'Xc 'llent substitute for soap, ani its seed
ts well rs juice is so powerful velmifuge
hat one dO,G will eXtirpate every worm
I ON the system, which with the addition.
Al quality of being lowering ornament
ior the garden, makes il deserve the title
II General Utility" which is sometimes
ftceiously given it. This tree is native
o. Souih America and the West Indies,
where it is greatly priced and was proba,
bly, introduced into Florida by the early
Spanish settlers. along with many other
tropical trees and shrubs of value for
their fruit and great beauty of their wood
| many OF which still exist there in wild
state. The ptpava will grow freely and
produce in abundance in Florida up to 30"
north latitude. single tree bearing sulli-
ciontly to support large family. Among
the many other delicious tropical fruits
growing in portions of the state which,
for want of transportation, are as yet not
introduced or much known here, are the
sappadilloes, sweet and sour sobs, custard
apples, mangoes, mammee apples, alliga-
! tor pears, SEA grasses, COCO plums, bread
fruit, amarinds. sweet pomegranites
dates, figs grapefruit, Leconte pears,
lines, shaddocks. Japan persimmons and
plums, Peento peaches, nectarines, apri
cots, plantains, tangerines, pineapples,
olives, grapes, along with great variety
of berries that bear nine months in the
year. These uxures will not long be kept
from us, however, as railroads which can
be so easily and cheaply constructed there
are flst ramifying every part of the state
where refrigerator cars will bring these
more rare products to US rs well as theii
delicious oranges, of which as yet but few
go elsewhere than north and east on &C.
count of the greater demand and larger
prices paid there for fine fruit.

Beer is often taken us Il medicine.
Some prescribe it for themselves. and
others have 1t prescribed for them, but
both classes often go on taking it "as u
medicine" every day year after ytar
Some years ago it was very Fashionable
to take lager for indigestion. Many total
abstainers had it so prescribed for them
One, a minister, took 1t for S X weeks, and
finding he was setting bad example,
put it aside. Another, Iinding he was
getting to look for it, dropped 1t. A third
thon9ht il helped him. He ftU better
every day after taking it, bu he needed It
the next day just rs much. 1t did not
cure him. 1t did not remove the disease,
it only huShed the symptoms. 1t deceived
his feelings. lie found it sham and Il
false prclender, and he gave it up All
three got we'll afterward without it. rnis
medicine plea often leads Temperance peo.
pie astray, and has made many drunkards,
They are deceived by the alcohol. for l. is
the alcohol that deCeives people in h,cc
whether taken as Il medicine or drink
There arc doctors who SILL recommend
| it, but doctors, as well rs other people,
have been deceived by alcohol. There are
many who find on trial that they succeed
better without giving alcoholic me liline5.
Hear what d. N S Davis OF Chicago
| says:
"Baer can not beuSed without in lrious
effects proportoned 10 the quantity used
and the frequency of its repetition It,
use as Il remedy in the treatment of DIS.
ease can be whoiy dispense with, with ,at
any injury 10 the sick"
Sir Henry ThomnSon ,, on,innot H.,
glish physician, says;
| II have no hesitation IN a.trbulinc a
large portion of the most painful ana
dangerous maladies which come under
my notice rs we'll as those which every
medical man has to treat, to the Ordinary
and daily use of fermented drinks taken
moderately
John s. Ford, E*q, writing from Nd,
waukee, Wis, to the Bosom Trureioy,
says
physicians OF this city wh) have had
wide experience are of the opinion that
the person who uses beer habituallv is
more liable to contract disease, and less
liable to throw it off, than one whoabstains
from its use. A case recently occurred of
German brewer apparently healthy and
robust who accidentally stuck Il small sli.
yer in his hand. Soon his arm began to
swell and be painful, and the pain and tho
swelling extended to the entire body, and
resulted in death. The symptoms were
clearly those Of Il bad condition of the
blood, and no other explanation could be
given than poisoning by the use of lager
bGCr.h
Many English physicians are trying to
dispense with the use of alcohol in modi-
cine. In ST. Georges Inlrmary, London,
where beer was discontinued in the treat .
mcnt of transient cases, they were ready
for discharge much sooner than before.
Thirty old women had been bed-ridden
from one to seventeen years, being daily
supplied with brandy or beer. When
this was discontinued they all improved
80 as to be able to leave their beds, and
some went to work. Many more such
cases might be given, showing that the
use of beer as medicine is a delusion
and snare.

HENRY WATrERsON ON DINNERS. The

of Georgia with James EuStis, Il staff o1li-
Ger of General Joe johnson, who after

mutton, some hot wheat bread. little
butter, and half phal of Scotch whiskcy
which we had purloinod from the gcner-

of cooking is the first Of the fine arts.
The first woman in Americea is not the
one who bears the most children: bru.

the best dish; because, by this superior
accomplishment, she contributes to the
health of hor children and the fidelity of
her husband.
They dine very we'll in Boston, But
they dino better in private than in public.
The hotels are excellent Tho restaurants

TIE TRANSIT OF VENUs.-The work Of
getting ready for the observation of the
transit of Venus goes on with increasing
ardor as the time December G) for the
occurrence of the phenomenon draws
near. At moderate estimate, nearly 100
transit plrties have reached their destina-
ton, are on their way thither, are making
ready for distant observing points, or are
strengthening their resources for work at

JUMBO'S REMARKABLE MEMORY The
Oswego Express relates that ut Barnums s.
at that city, large crowd was standing
in front of the huge Jumbo, feeding him
with bits of CHECKERS, nuts and cln iy,
pushing her way through the throng trying
10 get near enough to give the beast some
thing Jumbo stood swaying his trunk in
front of tho crowd, but suddenly stopped
and lookei intently at the lady pushing
her way toward him. Then he seemed to
recognize her and leaned as far forward
as his short chain would allow him and
stretched his trunk out toward the woman,
regardless of tho many other choice bits
that were held out to him. The lady
reached the rope stretched across in front
of the elephant and began to feed him
some nuts. He would take mono from any
other person, and seemed delighted to sec
her.
"Madame," said the keeper, Jumbo
has seen you somewhere, before and re-
members you"
"Oh. yes" replied the lady, "many
is the time have stood for an hour
at a time and fed him candy and nuts in
the Zoo at London; but do you suppose
he really remembers meP"
"Of course he does" said the keeper.
Don't you see he will not notice anybody
elsep knew the minute saw him stop
eating and look at the crowd that he saw
some one he knew.
The lady petted the monster II few mo.
ments, said, Goodbye, jumbo and
started for the circus tent. Jumbo looked
after her and would have followed her if
he could, but his chains held him fast, so
he held out his trunk for loaf of bread
that had heen waiting for him for some
moments.

Cosr OF TRAVELLING BY SPECIAL PULL
MAN.-The passage through this city and
over the various railroad lines of SO many
specials" or, in other words, Pullman
and other private cars, chartered by per-
sons of endless means or extensive innu-
ence, is so common an occurrence that the
following information in regard to the
charges for a car, including services of a
conductor, porter and two walters, will be
interesting: The Pullman company,
charges $S5 day for the use of a car,
which includes the service of Il conductor,
a cook and two walters. Besides this, the
person hiring the car--or in fact any car
must buy eighteen full tickets Of the
railroad line over which the cur passes for
hau ing it. The car is usually attached to
a regular train, and If II special engine is
secured, which is rarely the case, the cost
is greatly increased. Provisions and liz
uors are supplied by the Pullman company
at cost, or the person TO whom the Car is
let may stock it himself. Sleeping cars
are let at the rate of S65 per day, including
conductor and porter, and hotel cars at
$75 day, including conductor, a cook
and two walters. The Pullman company
also has two hunting and fishing cars.
One is named the Davy Crockett and The
other the lzaak Walton. The charge of
these cars is S3j day, which includes
cook and waiter for each. These cars are
provided with kennels for dogs gs.-Laran,ie

lie wrote it about three years before his
death:
"rwo or three things | wish now to i'm
press on your mind. FIRST you cannot
learn without your own efforts. All the
teachers in the world can never make
a scholar of you, if you do not apply your
self with all your might. In the second
place be of good character and good be.
havior-a day of strict truth and honor
and conscience in all things, Have but
one rule, and let that be to act right and
fear nothing but wrong doing, Finally,
Remember your Creator in the days
of thy youth You arc old enough to
know that God has made you and given
you mind and faculties, and will surely
call you to account. Honor and obey your
parents, love your sister and brother, be
gentle and kind to all, avoid pcevishness
and fretfulness, be patient under restraint,
look forward constantly TO your approach

A BANQUET ON WORMS. only has
the intellect of the worm been sadly un-
appreciated for centuries till Mr.. Darwin
rehabilitated that sagacious reptile, but it
appears now that his value as Wand has
also been grossly misunderstood and UNDER
rated. A group of French gourmcts,
whose object it is to do for the cookery of
the future what Wagner is doing for its
music, are happily following up the labors
of Darwin in this direction, and having
recently tried this tempting morsel, have
communicated to n grateful public the re-
suit of their first researches. Fifty guests
were present Mt the experiment. The
worms apparently lob-worms, were first
put into vinegar, by which process, they
were made to diSgorge the famous vego-
table mold about which we have recently
heard SO much. They were then rolled in
batter, and put into an oven, where they
acquired u delightful golden tint, and, we
are assured, a most appetizjng smell
After the first plateful the fifty guests rose
like one man and asked for more Could
anything be more convincing? Those
who love suails, they add, will abandon
them forever in favor of worms And yet
NJ. Monsclet the great authority in Paris,
has told MS sadly that no advances have
been made in the great AIT of cookery
since Brl!lat-S warm, and tin. all enthus
asm on tie subject died out with Vatcl
