The pride Of the American citizen is
not always exalted. Every now and
then that pride suffers afall. W. wonder
if there is any citizen of this country so
utterly a Yankee that his stomach is not
occasionally turned by contemplating
.sthe best Government the sun ever shone
on" Ry the term yankee" we mean
nothing sectional; we mean only to hold
up conspieuously the man who can see
nothing in governmental affairs except as
secondary to and ~overshadowed by the
Fourth of July and Gen. George Wash
incton-the man in whose mind the
Declaration OF Independence is the one
glorious and sufficient epitome Of all that
is true. beautiful and good in the polisi-
cal history OF the world. Happy is he
if fed on faith; he feels no quivering
oualm. but exults increasingly while
piling contumely upon the head of poor
old George III, gathered to his fathers
many wears ago. We are not all alike.
We Cannot all bask serenely in the sun
shine OF confidence in the excelleney OF
this Republican scheme OF government
OF ours. 1t may be 'the best the sun
ever shone on" but its merely human
origin is shown a. times too plainly.
This is a shock to the American citizen
whose boyhood is recalled along with the
essay he wrote sub MAESTRO on govern.
ment. His master analyzed the theme
tor him and started him out with the
radically impressed idea that government
originates with God. The Divinity, he
was taught. lays the foundation, upon
which human intelligence builds the
superstructure for the greatest good to
the greatest number. This notion OF
moral philosophy, clothed with poetic
fancy, the boy takes with him into the
actual affairs OF life. He finds a grea,
cult then between men and the books
from which he studied. He either then
wraps himself about with the mantle OF
higher philosophy" and laughs at the
lower course OF the world. or drops from
his academic exhilaration and looks coldly
upon government as a machlne-hesh
pots for usurpers, a means OF misrepre-
sentation, whereby the ambitious are
grasiied aud the people hoodwinked
with 4 hollow show
Take this case in point: Suppose, as
reported. that James G. Fair will resign
his place as United States Senator from
Nevada. Who would succeed him.
Does anybody suspect that the Father,
Son. or the Holy Ghost, would have any
thing to do with naming his successor:
On the contrary. it is potent that this is
a thing given to the devil already. This
genius, which presiies over orr political
affairs. would pick out an imp OF his own
to represent him in the United States
Senate. 1t is through him that the
strings are pulled which sometimes send
puppets dancing into public Office to do
him honor, and him alone.
Blu. Fair is not going 10 resign, so that
the anticipated trsgi-comedy, with
Mephistopeles as clown. Will be post.

VIC"

London Truth says: "a minister.

the Queen, who invariably confines her
table conversation TO the most ommon

little general conversation before her
Majesty r~e,ires. and the visitor departs
next morning without having caught an
other glimpse OF her"
Il that is the case, says the Salt Lake

A FEARFUL SToRM.--A Swiss paper de-
scribes the fearful storm which wrought such
havoc in the Grindelwald on October 9th.
1t began to blow at a o'clock in tine morning
and continued for twenty-four hours with
terrific violence. Its like Iwas never before
experienced. The heaviest roof stones were
blown of like chips. Lumps of rock weigh
ing 100 pounds were sent spinning through
the air like cannon balls in battle. Inside
the houses there were no safety, outside no.
body could live. Windows were blown in,
roofs carried away and many families fled in
terror to their cellars. In the afternoon a
few brave men, at the risk of their lives,
went on the roofs and tried to repair damages.
But 1t was impossible to do anything. As
fast as they replaced the stones they were
dislodged and several of the men thrown to
the ground. At night the gale ragged still
more fiercely and a tremendous rainfall i

American Inventions in Military Arms.

The Americans are superior to all the
world in genius for mechanical invention
and application. but somehow, says a Gin
cinatti paper they are fettered so that they
do not reap the just fruits. Most of the
modern Improvements in military arms are
original to Americans in successive applica-
ton. Of these are the revolver. the breech-
loader, the magazine rife for infantry and
calvary, the metallic cartridge. the machine
cannon of all sorts, beginning with the Cat.
ling gun, of which the French mitrailleuse
is only a slight adaptation, and running to
large revolving cannon. the invention of the
process of graduating the explosion of large.
grained cannon powder, whereby a follow
ing pressure is got, with great increase of
velocity of the shot, and less strain of the
gun, the making of infantry arms by
machinery with interchangeable parts-all
these are American.
The armored ship was first made in
America, likewise the revolving turret. In
the American war was the first application
of torpedoes to coast defence. A remark

or another which deprives the country of the
