We Need Money.

This may seem strange to many of
our subscribers, for judging by our
books large number of them seem
to labor under the delusinn that a
newspaper can he run Indefinitely
without the outlay of any capital.
This is an error which is painfully
! apparent to us. We do not like to
dun, we do not like to see newspa-
pers in the habit of dunning, and it is
not our fault that we ash those in
dthted to us to come forward and
settle. In making this request we
are only asking for what properly he
longs to Us, and if those who are in.
debted would take this view of it
they would not he slow in squaring
their accounts. We venture to say
there are not a dozen subscribers upon
The REPUBLICANS mail list that it
would in any way embarrass to pay
what il due US, yet for Sc me cause
many of them are exceedingly slow
in doing so. and for this reason ills
tasteful rs ii is to us-Wp find it ncces
sary 10 give them at least one dunning
a year. We hope, therefore, that
those who know themselves to be- in
dehted to uS, will embrace the OppOr-
tunity to toward what is due. Re-
niittances may be made by check,
postotfice money order or by regis
tered letter. Sending money IN un
registered letter, is not safe way of
transmitting it. Those who co not
desire to- remit as above may find an
opportunity to bring the amount of
their Indebtedness, or SEMI it by
neighb0r during the meeting of
the county commissioners The first
week in April, or during May court.
Friends. make some effort in our be-
halt, because we really need the mon
ey in order to carry on our business
in Il business like manner.

THE FLOODED REGION. The gov

THE FLOODED REGION. The gov
eminent steamer Anita has gone up
the Yazoo river with 100 tons of pro-
visions for the sufferers by the over
flow in that region. The project
of removing the people from their
homes has been abandoned, and only
those will be brought away who are
actually imprisoned by the waters.
Relief depots will be established at
various points. The steamer Carroll
brought LOGO horses and mules from
the Yaz0o country to Vicksburg
Tues day. at Tennessee Landing the
back-warer is running over the levee
into the river. There are thirty per-
sons in the second story of a house at
this place and not foot of land in
sight. James A. Logan and James
B. Stone rescued ninety people at
Omega by means of skiffs.
Reports received at New Orleans
from Tensas parish, La, are to the
effect that every plantation is wholly
or partially under wa tier. The whole
of Hurricane Island is completely
submerged. The Landry crevasse.
in Ascension parish, has not been
closed, but continues to widen. 1t is
now reported to be lis feet wide.
The water is backing up on lands in
Ascension parish above the break
and flooding plantations below in
that and also in ST. James parish.
A portion of the Burnside planta-
tons is under water. AT new Orleans
the river mas scarcely varied an inch
in week, standing eight inches be-
low the high-water mark of 1874.

The Texas Tarantula.

The Texas tarantula, when he is
full grown, is boss among spiders
what jesse james is among robbers,
or Jay Gould among railroad mag
mates. He has hair all over his
legs, and wears his eyes on the top
of his head to see that nobody takes
advantage of him. We are not des-
crlbiug Jay Gould, but the tarantula.
He is big enough, and hungry enough
to g0bble up all the rest, which re-
mark however applies as well to Jay
as to the tarantula. The tarantula is
Il desperate among insects. In one
respect, nevertheless, he differs very
much from the Texas Desperate.
The latter is more dangerous when
in liquor than at any other time,
while The tarantula is the most harm
less insect on the road, as long as he
is under the influence of alcohol, and
tie bottle is corked up tightly. The
tarantula makes himself respected
with IL pair of hooked fangS, which
at the same time are the principal
cause of his appropriately. AS long
as this amiable insect is not interfer-
ell with, he attends strickly to his
own business, but Ifanybody punches
him i'm the small of the back with an
umbrella, or splits tobacco Juice on
him, he becomes irritable and peev-
iSh. Uuder such provocation he will
jump up and down, sling his arms
and legs about, gnash his teeth. and
go on for all the world like a stump
speaker whose veracity has been
questioned by a man in the crowd.
On such occasions he will jump on
anybody. regardless of his size, or So
cial status.
Like all disrgreeable people. the
the tarantula has his personal enc
mics. the enemy he likes less than
all the rest is a large black wasp.
whose only mission in life seems to
take the couceit out of the tarantula.
He accomplishes this remarkable
feat Ivy yaccinating the tarantula on
the back with a sting. When the
tarantula goes out to bulldoze inof-
fensive tumble bugs and grdsshop-
perS, he has to look out for the wasp.
A fight between the wasp and the
tarantula is almost as interesting as
Congressional debate on sectional
issues, and it always ends with the
death of the spider. AS soon as the
tarantula hears The buzz Of the wasp,
he looks for Il hole to crawl into, and
if there is none handy, it is "g0od-
bye John" with Mr.. Spider. The
wasp circles around the excited spi-
der, very much as hawk does over
barn yard. Suddenly he dives
down, vaccinates the tarantula, and
flies up again. 1t does not seem as
if it had touched the spider, but he
has, and it has taken too, for in few
seconds, the desperate of the prairies
begins to walk zig-zag, very much
like a fashionable young man return
ing from an oyster supper. In a
short time the tarantula feels tired,
and finally swoons away, whereupon
til" wasp alights, takes Il good look
ut his victim. and, Selling him by
one of his legs, drags him off to some
secluded spot where he administers

Our Comet is There Still.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 20, 1882.
Nh. Editor:
The comet can still be seen on a
clear morning, and earlier and later
than it could several weeks since.
Yet many people have not seen it
and they should hurry up, for it is
going away fast. 1t gets nearer the
horizon and further south and west
every day. But it is not necessary
to get up very early to see it, for il
can be seen very well at half past
five o'clock, and family as late as six
o'clock, at which last hour it is de.
cidedly west of south, and perhaps
about forty degrees high, guessing
roughly. Unless cometary wonders
multiply in these latter days, as to
this comet, we may never look upon
its like again, for it is the biggest
looking that I Tecollect, and it re.
mains the longest to be seen with
the naked eye.

P eased to again be home, for this
was the gathering place of Israel.
God had blessed him. and he had
had great joy in the service of the
Lord. The saints had cause to re-
loice in the blessings that had been
bestowed upon them.
APOSTLE BRIGHAM YOUNG said
the reports that had just been made
were cheerful to him, as they indi-
Gated the progress being made by
the Church of God. It was not the
privilege of the saints to present the
gospel in one hand and the sword in
the other; but the duty was to
persuade. Little good came from
argument. The elders who presented
a simple, straightforward testimony
0ftenest carried conviction to the
souls of their hearers The world
seemed to have an idea that the
purpose of the saints was to
destroy the nations, but this was
a mistake. The Almighty was
directing the work, and not
the saints. The latter were
simply the messengers, warning the
world that unless it obeyed the
Lords warning, it would have to
take the consequences. God and
not the saints would punish all for
their evil deeds.
The choir sang an anthem and
President A. Hatch pronounced the
benediction.
