The Utah Election.

The election of a congressional dele
gate in Utah occurs Nov. z. The re-
port of the Utah commission says that
from present indications it appears
that the elias of persons who are depriv-
ed of the rights of suffrage by the act
OF congress will not attempt to register
or vote" The class numbers about TO-
600, male and female. 1t may be diff
cult for polygamous Mormon to get
in vote, but such Mormons are bound
to make themselves heard on election
day if 1t can possibly be done. They
are now naturalizing the foreign acces-
sions, who have hitherto failed to take
this preliminary step to voting. Natur-
alization factories have been opened
all over the territory, and every Nor
mon of age is to be made voter in
order to give him chance to get his
vote in by hook or crook 1.-The can do it.

the North London Railway were ali
late, and consequently every platform
was crowded. Al one OF the stations
an importunate passenger attempted
to enter an already over crewded first
class compartments, but one of the oc-
cupants stoutly resisted the intrusion.
thereupon the importunate one said
Il will soon settle this" and called
guard to the, carriage door. He then
requested the official to ask
two of the occupants to produce
their tickets which proved to be third
class ones. In spite of the delinquents
protesting there was no room in the
train elsewhere, they were elected, and
the importunate one took their place.
The other passengers were naturally
rather indignant, and seeing this, the
successful intruder quietly said: 81
am very sorry to have had those two
gentlemen out, especially as I heard
one say that they were already late
for an important engagement in the
city; and | am all the more sorry see
ing that l only hold third class ticket

IT is announced that the Mexican ma
tional railroad has just completed 2S9
mile. of its line in that country, making,
with its Texas line, 532 miles of road
including branch road in Mexico OF
seventy-four miles. That country has
a liberal supply of railway projects, but
only a very meager supply of actual
rail facilities. The latest total mileage
completed Sept. /, is given by what
ought to be reliable Authority rs 800
miles. No country in the world needs
railroads more than Mexico, for it has
no good seaport nor single really nav
igable river. American enterprise and
capital are making a revolution in that
country, and it will soon be IN reality

The Princess of Wales, now IN her

scarcely day older than when, on
March 10, nineteen years ago, she stood
at the altar by the side of her young

change, save to deepen and strengthen,
the regard and affection in which she
is held by the people of England. b
common consent she is placed beyond
the region of criticism. "What the

Point Barrow, where the signal station
is established. The lot of this vessel Is
hard one, for it was the North Star
that, by much exertion took off the
crew of the Rodgers, and transferred
them to the Corwln. The story Of the

but they were at least fortunate in being

DR.. BELL, in the Sdaitaridn, holds
that bad school-house construction,
criminal crowding, exposure to soil
emanations and want of Ventilation are
the common conditions which depress
and stunt the intellect. He compares
the results of such exposures of the
tender brains OF childhood to the bad
ly-nourished, dwarfei and premature
old age of curbstone trees, feed upon
poisoned food through asphalt and
coaltar pavements. He considers the
poisoned atmosphere Of the school
