Lniies Wearing Insects.

Were it not for the hundred and one
little novelties which are constantly
being devised for the elaboration of her
toilet the girl Of the period would die
of ennui. Just at presentsthe insect
craze is upon us and the women folks
are decked out with spiders. scorpions,
devils darning needles, pinch bugs,
beetles and a whole range of ugly
crawling and creeping things which
are used for ornaments. This only
shows the superiority of art over MT
ture. One real bug or. lively spider
will throw 4 woman into commissions ;
but such is the ameliorating effe:t of
art that she walks about with iilcon-
cealed pride, fairly radiant under a
dozen OF more acknowledged insects
of blue, green, orange n red gilt.
These hideous creatures are displayed
in every part OF the toilet, not so
much for utility as ornament. They
close a collar, loop a piece OF drapery.
fasten a bow Of ribbon, Turk in the
coils of prettily braided hair, peep out
from the meshes of soft lace and thrust
their ugliness against a pretty white
neck or wrist.
Sometimes these ornaments are of
wood, gray, black or moldy silver, and
so true to nature in size and shape
that often ~kind-hearted men and @ner-
yous ladies attempt to brush them off,
and receive only a derisive smile for
their solicitut1e. Such an experience
tichles a girls vanity, and she recites
and chuekles over the occurrence for
weeks after. This bug maniais about
as ugly a specimen OF art run mad as
can be imagined, and goes to show th2
inconsistency of a sex whose delicate
sensibilities, through the dictates OF
fashion, can be recoraciled to what, in
nature, always has and always will be
regardedras FepAlsivesam n Nv v
when, VA couple dgears agc. the
wives and daughters Of some South

threads of wire and allowed to ramble

disgust at the absurdity, which, as the
leaders predicted, was of short dura-
ton. Butt the same prophecy would
be %pertinent4in the present case. The

w painted, and, as they come within
the reach of every scullion and bar

The Court House Mouse.

During the Coombs trial the
jury relieved the monotony Of
discussing the case by noticing
the antics of a mouse which they
discovered in the Courtroom.
The mouse seems to have been
a constant attendant upon the
trial, and when the lawyers got
up to crate would come out Of
his hole about half a length and
listen attentiveiy. When the
crowd would go out and leave
the room to the jury the mouse
would skip up on the table and
take his rations along with the
rest. He became great pet
with the jury, and now has been
taken under the wing Of Dean
Hatch and Sheriff Swift, whe
feed him daily. Whether his
food is Or is not a tax upon the
county the APPEAL is not in
formed, but if so the taxpayers
should investigate the matter,
and see that the leak in the
treasury is stopped at once.

Try the Case

The Gazette in speaking of the
Reno Savings Bank csaes says {:
A case in the courts involving
the integrity of two citizens of
the State. No one claims that
they acted wisely, and they un-
doubleday would do differently
if they had to go over it again.
The question ia not whether
they violated the moral law,
but whether they viz lated the
State law. That is the point to
now to be settled, and should be
tried in the Courts and not in
the newspapers and on the
street. Nothing can be gained
By trying to break down the
District Attorney or deprive him
Of the help necessary to make a
proper effort. No such case has
ever been tried by one man
single-handed, and if it is to be
tried at ali il Should be Il trial
and not a farce. The compen-
sation may be too high and the
action of the Board subject to
criticism, but that is entirely
another matter. The case is in
the courts and it should be
fairly tried and settled.

The Crusade Against sin.

! The Methodist church finds
that in its protracted wres!Ie
with Satan, that in order 10
secure the proper sort of a lock
upon the scaly adversary, it has
become necessary to reinforce
with some leading exhortors.
Rev. F. NJ. Willis aud Geo. w.
De La Matyr have arrived, and
from this the crusade will be
carried right into the enemy's
camp. The black flag has been
raised against the cohorts of un-
goodness, and the new knights
Of the cross are already dealing
vigorous blows in the right di-
rection. 1t is & pleasure to see
these men work in the field of
right, dealing in the parry and
back stroke, and cleaving their
way through the most solid
ranks of the opposition. Before
leaving the field they will plant
the standard OF the living faith
upon the dismantled bulwarks
of iniquity. Above the din of
battle the regular cid Metho-
dist camp meeting songs rise
and nerve the workers to fresh
deeds Of righteousness.

The Ogen Pilot says i, is ru-
mored that a change will be
made in the time Of running
trains on the Union Pacific. Ac-
cerdiag 10 report the time is to
be shortened. This is made
necessary by the completion of
the Denver & Rio Grande to
Salt Lake City. As the Union
Pacific is now running time is
saved by taking the Denver
route, hence the Union Pacific
is virtually compelled to expe-
dite its trains or get left on a
large portion of its passenger
travel. If change is made on
the Union Pacific It is probable
that the Central Pacific will reg
ulate the time Of arrival and de-
parture of its trains at Ogden to
connect with the Eastern roads.
