fairfield and Arthur.

When the message reached
Arthur in Albany telling him that
the President was shot, it found
him in a place inimical to that Pres
ident. The personal relations be-
tween Garfield aad Arthur We're
kindly; but the men as men were
parted by the greater personal allie
glance each owed to another man.
Politically, personally Garfield be-
longed to Blaine. The day had been
when he openly declared to personal
friends his utter lack of faith in
Blaine's integrity. even while he
acknowledged the force of his per-
sonal charm upon himself. Deep
ened obligations, heightened per-
sonal intercourse had increased the
power of the charm and multiplied
the facts of personal obligations,
till the man who was his evil
genius had alres dy given his adj
miniStration unwittingly over to
disaster and final tragedy.
Arthur was equally committed to
Conkling. AS a politician, he had
always acted in close personal allie
glance and association with few
men who were his friends, of whom
Conkling was chief. By them, with
them he had come to be "a power
in the. politics of his own state. he
had passed its posts of honor, till
he came to be, by the direct mani
pulation of Conkling, at Chicago. the
Vice-President OF the United
States. All that Garfield owed to
Blaine Arthur owed to COnkling.
AS Vice-President Of the United
States, it was q disgraceful thing
for him to march off to Albany to
help COnkli..g in his battle against
the President; but, as a man, he did
the same generous and unseltish act
that Garfield did when he offered to
Blaine the Secretaryship of State.
Each man stuck to his ally, the one
to his final hurt and everlasting
fame; the other to an undreamed-of
reward and exaltation. Arthur
saw his friend in the fangs of his
long time enemy. Politically
Blaine had Conkling by the throat,
and, smile though he might with
ali the discrimination of which he is
master, Conkling was throttled
beyond remedy and Conkling knew
it. What a half statement was that
when the republican journals cried

An Intricate Problem.

As it seems probable that the
question of polygamy in Utah will
soon invoke the serious attention Of
our! national legislature, a slight
glance at the history of the Organi-
ration OF that Territory may not be
out of place at this time In the
great debates in Congress which
preceded the admission of Utah,
Henry Clay was the most conspicu-
Gus figure till his last fatal illness
withdrew him from the floor of the
Senate. In February, 1850, ,he initi-
ated the measures which finally,
after animated oppositiOn,prevailed.
But with him stood shoulder to
shoulder Cass, the democrat candi-
date for the presidency at the pre-
ceding election; King, the demo-
cratic candidate for the vice-presi-
dency at the next ensuing election,
together with Stephen a. Douglas,
Sam Houston, and most of the emf
nent democratic leaders. They all
maintained for Utah the right to
the self-government which had
been the uniform system since the
adoption of the constitution.
Against this system the extreme
men of both sections united that is
to say, they both invoked Congress
sional intervention, but they wanted
an exactly opposite application of
it. Here the Wilmot prOviso men
Joined hands with Senator Davis, Of
Mississippi. They wanted slavery
prohibited in the territories
: he wanted it protected.
Each asked the Intervention
of Congress, provided that it in
terfered in the right way; each de-
Ried that Congress had right to
intervene in behalf of the other
party. But Clay and Webster and
Cass and Douglas eontended for the
simple, obvious commOn-senSe Solu-
tion, which the sound Judgment of
the whole American people ratified
that Congress should not interfere
at all The bone Of contention in
1850 was slavery. That was the one
single ground for congressional in
reference. So great and overshad-
ewing was this question at the
time the territorial government was
established in Utah that the sub
jcct o. polygsmy was not discussed.
Slavery 10 now dead and gone, and
NO one wants to recall it to life.
Now the relation of marriage is a
new ground for agitation, and it IS
quite likely to provoke prolonged
discussion. How Congress can get
rid of polygany in Utah is difficult
to determine, in view Of the princi-
pies laid down in the bill establish
Ing that territory. When her peo-
pie apply for admission into the
Union as a state, Congress may be
able to grapple with the subject
but until then-and Mormon policy
will postpone applying for adnis-
sion as long as possible-it will re-
quire the wisest craftsmanship to
solve the intricate problem.-Balti-

Toe Late:

A broken-hearted wife lay dying,
and her husband remorsefully
whispered: 81 love you'll have
ever loved you'll" She looked at him
a moment and simply answered:
"You are too late" and died.
Are there none of US who are
waiting until our friends die before
we speak the words of love and APP
probation for which the living
hearts are yearning? How is it
husbands? Are there none of you
who truly loYe your wives, and
who, if they were to die to-day,
would feel that words were too poor
to portray either their worth or
your anguish, and yet who seldom,
by word or look or sign, give any
outward expression to that love.
None of you who rejoice in your
well ordered houses, your well
spread tables, your comfortable
homes, and yet never a word of
praise for the busy hand or the
governing brain that keeps all the
complicated machinery of the house
hold in motion? Do none of YOU
receive all this as a matter of course.
never thinking that it is churlish
and niggardly to give no RTaise
where praise is due? And are
there no wives who forget that love,
like jealousy, grows by what it feeds
on, and that it is far easier to win
heart than it is to keep it? That
to keep the heart they have won is
the first, the sweetest duty of the
true wife? None who have laid
aside all the pretty Witcheries of
their childhood days-and who,
though their love is still strong and
true, have forgotten how to be ten

hearts are warm and loyal, and who.
if your husbands were living dead
before you, would doubtless feel

the grave.

only the unrest of immaturity; but
you fail to recognize the upward
yearnings, the aspirations, the blind

than itself. 1t is only after they
are dead that your children become

A Burning Lake.

There is in Russia a fountain of
naphtha which has formed lake four
miles long by over a mile wide, and
two feet deep. This sheet of inham-
mable oil recently took fire, including
the central fOunt, and the effect was
most imposing. The quantity of
naphtha on fire was estimated at four
and half million cubic feet, and it
was feared that the flames would ex-
plOde the subterranean sources. Even
the earth saturated with oil was on
fire, but no explosion occurred. The
heat was intolerable except at dis
tance Of 1000 yards from the edge Of
the fire, and the trees and buildings
within three miles of it were coated
with a thick layer Of SCOT.

The following amusing description
Of the mixed life of a frontier town
is from e. v. Smalley's paper on "Ths
New Northwest" in the Centu7y:
The picturesque features of life in
Western Montana town like Missoula
are best seen as evening approaches.
Crowds Of roughly-clad men gather
around the doors of the drinking ss-
looms. A group of Indians, who have
been squatting on the sidewalk for
two hours playing some mysterious
game Of cards of their own invention,
breaks up. One Of the squaws throws
the cards into the street, which is
already decorated from end to end with
similar relics Of other games. An
other swings baby upon her
back, ties a shawl around it and
herself, secures the child with a strap
buckled across her chest and strides
off, her moccasined feet toeing inward
in the traditional Indian fashion. She
wears gown made of scarlet calico
bedquilt, with leggings of some blue
stuff; but she has somehow managed
to get civilized dress for the child.
They all go off to their camp on the
hill near by. Some blue-coated soldiers
from the neighboring military post, re-
membering the roll-call at sunset,
swing themselves upon their horses
and go galloping off, little the worse
for the bad whisky they have been
drinking in the saloons A miner
in blue .woolen shirt and brown
canvas trousers, with a hat of as
tonishing dimensions and beard Of
years growth, trots up the street on
mule, and, with droll oaths and shnf-
fling talk, offers the animal for sale to
the crowd of loungers on the hotel
piazza. No one wants to buy, and,
after provoking deal Of laughter the
miner gives his ultimatum: "Pll hitch
the critter to one of them piazzer
posts, and if he don't pull it down you
may have him." This generous offer
is declined by the landlord; and the
miner rides off, declaring that he has
not solitary four-bit piece to pay for
his supper, and is bound to sell the
mule to somebody.
Toward nightfall the whole male
population seems to be in the street,
save the busy Cinnamon in the laun-
dries, who keep on sprinkling clothes
by blowing water out of their mouths.
Early or late, you will find these indus--
trious little yellow men at work. One
shufiles back and forth from the hy-
drant, carrying water for the morning
wash in old coal-oil cans hung to a
stick balanced across his shoulders.
More Indians nova "buck" and
two squaws, leading ponies heavily
laden with tent, clothes and buff
falo robes. A rope tied around
a pony's lower jaw is the ordi-
nary halter and bride of the Indians.
These people want TO buy some article
at the saddler's shop. They do not go
in, but stare through the windows for
five minutes. The saddler, knowing
the Indian way Of dealing, pays no at
tention to them. After a while they
all sit down on the ground in front Of
the shop. Perhaps a quarter of an
hour passes before the saddler asks
what they want. If he had noticed
them at first they would have gone
away without buying.

Science Of Perfumes.

BY process known as entieurage,
which is the exposure of beef fat to
fresh flowers in close boxes until it is
thoroughly permeated and charged
with their odors, the perfumes of six
flowers are obtained, which could in
no other manner known to science be
preserved apart from the fresh petals.
Those flowers are violet, jasmin, tube
rose, rose, orange flower and cassie
Cinnamon fower). From these six
there are fifty or more combinations
made for the stimulation of the odors
of other flowers. Sweet pea is made
with jasmin and orange flowers, hya-
einth is counterfeited by jasnin
and tuberose; lily of the val
ley by violet and tuberose. But the
resources of the perfumer are by no
means confined to the pomades, as the
scented fats are termed. He uses many
essential oils, the principal of which
are sandalwood, bergamot, lemon, rose
mary, neroli (made from bitter orange
flowers), paschouli and the altar of
roses. 1t is very difficult to get the
last named in pure state, because
its great cost tempts to dishonest adul-
teration. Very often rose-geranium
oil is substituted for it. Musk is an
other important ingredient, entering as
it does into almost all perfumes, ex-
cept those which are actually imita-
tions of flower odors, or as styled by
perfumers, natural "-as, for instance,
heliotrope, tuberose, white rose and
violet

The Santa Fe IN. M Neaos tells the
champion hunting story Of the season.
II. j. Sheldon left his camp at Cooper
City, on the Pecos, New Mexico, last
Saturday afternoon in search of game.
Saturday night he camped at the up
per forks of the river, and Sunday,
bright and early, was again on the
march. About A O'Clock in the after
noon the burro, which had wandered
ahead, came running back, apparently
in great terror, ears and tail erect.

mournful sound for which its species
is noted, and refusing to be caught or

burro just what had happened, Mr.. 5.

and cautiously on the unknown enemy.
Crawling along ON his hands and knees
for about a quarter of a mile, he at
length doubled bend in the river, and
there, standing in full view in the
meadow, and not more than l5O yards
away, he saw huge grizzly bear with
three cubs, and, just beyond the bear

were aware of his approach, so, quietly
risingupon one knee and resting his rifle
across the other, which is Mr. SIS favor

the extraordinary task to which the
rifle had been subjected produced such
