evil. I overheard a Gentle. who
boasts a large circle of acquaintance
in this territory, say there were not
ten men of his acquaintance in
Utah, if he might except some of
the parsons, who would not be ex-
cused for cause if questioned on this
score. The question is, viii the
courts rule that illicit intercourse
as sufficient cause for excuse? If
such rule should obtain, the COM
mission will have to import Jurors.
or corral the majority OF the
Tribune hackers and put them in
durance vile as sort of preparatory
training for the duties of jurors.
AID FINUM.
OF course, "Aunty Trib." will want
to dictate to the commissioners. as
she has always dictated to the federal
officials-the old Spinster despised
dictation on the part of the Mormon
leaders-and woe betide the unlucky
wights if they fail. to &C
cept her dictation, or neglect
to lay on the cudgel with
the precision and severity she will
demand. How like a dervish the
old Cyprian will howl, angered as
she is by the Mormon leaders per
sistently refusing to permit her to
dictate in their concerns, and rem
dered ravenous by her failure in the
past to secure a share of the tith-
ing carrots, if the elective commits
sioners should by any chance have
Il mind of their own and manhood
enough to speak it. Their charac-
tiers in such case could not be made
blacker if they took a go-as-you-
please rough-and-tumble with the
devils SCOT bag. Their regulations
would be torn and tattered like a
rotten cloth exposed to the fury of
a winter gale. But keep quiet; try
to cOnciliate the powers that be, aid
the Edmunds bill ali you can, for if
that should fail to exterminate the
people of Utah, L forSee a greater
evil to come upon them, to.wit.: the
crank Talmage, with a big bayonet
protruding from between his clerical
coat-tails. From all such evils may
the good Lord deliver us. Amen.

A NER PEACH

To the Editor OF The M0rristown Gazette:
Some years ago / purchased some
very early and toothsome peaches
from the late George f. Glover. |
thought well of them indeed, more
than well, for they were excellent.
Calling upon his widow the other
day, i inquired of her where she OBJ
tanned those good peaches. She in
formed me that Mr.. Glover pur-
chased of a nurseryman an Early
Beatrice. When it first bore Mrs.
Glover ate Of the fruit, and planted
five Of the seeds. Three came up
and one died. The other two came
to bearing, and ii was of these /
bought the very delicious and extra
early peaches above spoken of DIR.
G. G. II. Magee learned about the
fruit and came morning after morn
ing for freshly ripened peaches and
to see into their growth and nature,
and was so well pleased with it that
he insisted that it should be called
the Improved Early Beatrice. He
said that there were no such peach
es in the United States. One great
merit of this peach is its long con-
tinued bearing, it bearing nearly a
full month. 1t is worthy Of propa-
CATION by both amateurs and prac-
teal horticulturists. J. 5. W.
