IN an interview in Chicago the
other day John C. Jennings. Mayor
of Salt Lake City and leading light
in the Mormon Church, said that be-
fore the advent of the Gentiles there
were neither houses of prostitution
nor liquor saloons in Salt Lake City.
1t Is true that the Church, or the
municipality-which amounts to the
same thing-did not allow houses of
prostitution to exist, but it was aptly
said at the time that if four high
walls were built around the city and
rooted over, it would be the largest
house of prostitution the world had
ever seen. 1t is also true that there
were no liquor saloons, but Mr.. Jen
nings will not deny that there were
places owned and run by the Church
where liquor was sold by measure;
that the Church conducted distiller-
les, and maintained a monopoly Of
the liquor traffic in Utah Territory.
Polygamy in itself is harlotry, and
the "valley tan" that Brigham dealt
out to the saints would bring drunk
as quickly as Gentle whisky.

BUTLER.

It is great mistake for the he
publican papers to indulge in indis'
c-imipate abuse of Ben Butler,
because they imagine that be will be
a Presidential candidate. 1t is also
great waste of ammunition. Butler
is man who has thrived amazingly
on newspaper abuse during the past
ten years, and particularly 80 because
not one of the many charges brought
against have proven true. The abuse
of Republican papers is great Gle
ment of strength to him because his
supporters will urge claim before
Democratic nominating convention
on the grounds that unless he were
considered formidable opponent by
the Republican press he would not
be singled out as target for abuse.
Praise from this source would do
him more harm than anything else,
and he fully realizes this. The edit
ors of Republican journals should
reflect little on this question and
not overshoot the mark. 1t is sense
less and silly to say that the reforms
that he has inaugurated in Massachu-
sets we're enacted for political effect.
When a good thing is done it is folly
TO question the motive. Butler has
an ingenius way Of putting abuse I'M
der his feet and climbing up on it.
Again, candidate for public office
cannot be run out of fight by mud
throwing. The attack must be made
fairly aud squarely upon his political
principles, his political record and
his political associates. Buffers chief
element of strength just now comes
from the abuse of the Republican
press. If Republican journalists
want to make him strong President
ial candidate for the campaign of
1884 they can do so by keeping this
thing up.-Appsal.

-VIcToRIA, according to press
reports is becoming Chinese labor
market. Now that there is law re-
strictng Cinnamon from coming to
this country, it should be enforced.
There has as yet been no effort made
to stop the immigration of Chinese to
this country through British Colum-
bia. 1t would seem that it is pretty
near time for President Arthur to
make few inquiries into this matter
and, if the law is being violated, as
stated, to see that there is u change
and the law enforced.

THE AMERICAN DUEL.

An American student who was at Got
tingen last winter, relates the following
incident which occurred at that place
An American student unintentionally
gave offence TO three German students by
brushing against them in huriedly pass
ing along the street. They went on a
few steps, then came back and insisted
upon having satisfaction for the insult !;
he must fight 4 duel with one Of their
number. He declined. saying 81 am an
American; / do not fight" But they
repeated, I'VE must have satisfaction.
He replied, "Well il you must, you can
have it." and throwing of his coat went
at them with his fists. He knocked all
three down, and one of them rolled in
the gutter. Then, putting on his coat,
be walked away. Somewhat bewil-
dered over the situation, the three
German students picked themselves up
and went their way. The American
vas not afterward challenged to fight q
duel, or otherwise molested. He was
the son of an eminent New York clergy
man.

A MODERN FABLE.

Little Red Riding Hood having made
a cake all by her own self, was sent by
her proud and happy Mother to carry it
to her Grandmother. Upon her way she
encountered q Wolf, who, representing
himself to the credulous Child as the old
Lady's Newfoundland Dog. so won upon
her confidence that she disclosed to him
the Object Of her Mission. Then" said
the crafty Wolf, 81 will run on ahead
and pull the bobbin that the Latch may
20 up" The silly Child, being touched
with Gratitude, accepted his services, and
gave the Animal big piece of her Cake ;
and the Wolf perishins miserably of in
digestion long before he had reached the
old DANES Cottage. Little BED Riding
Hood obtained new Tippet and Muff
from his Skin, and was enabled to sooth
her Grsndmother's declining Years with
Comforts purchased with the bounty paid
for his scalp.
MoRAL-This Fable Shows that Cunning
Vice should never attempt to Take the
Cake from Confding Innocence.

A TRoTTING STEER.

Wabash, . two-year-old calico calf
that il credited with mile racing record
Of 2.2O, was brought to Philadelphia on
Monday by his owner, Colonel Charles j.
Burns, of Evansville. Indiana. Wabash
has won seven races off the reel this sum-
mer and was only beaten once. On that
occasion he fell down. At Bedford Park,
on Wednesday last, he easily beat J. &.
Mason's blk. g., mile in 2.20. After
the race Colonial Burns declined to &C
cept an offer of 81 500 for his Aeet-foot-
ed bovine. The calf is nearly thirteen
and half hands high, his legs are like
those of giraffe and his horns are tipped
with nickle.plated knobs. Colonel Burns
bought the calf when yearling from an
Indian farmer, who was driving the split
hoof trotter to sulky and beating all
ordinary roadsters with ease. The calf
is Of plel elan blood and was bred, raised
and trained by the farmer. Colonel
Burnes intends exhibiting the speedy
beast on all the trottIng tracks in the
country. Hitched to light wagon Wa
bash trotted to Belmont Park, and was
sent around the track several times at a
three minute gait. The calls wind und
limbs are perfectly sound, and his owner
says he has driven him forty miles day
without making him turn hair. AL.
though Wabash trots fast and steadily in
harness. he is much speedier under sad
die. To show the calls speed he was
saddled and mounted by lis pound
jockey, and Clorinda, with record of
"a, was started against him. Clorinda
went away in the lead when the word
"go" was given, but Reilly, the jockey
on the calf, quickly clapped spurs into its
sides, and with below that was heard
a mile off Wabash hoisted bis tail like a
iackstaff and set sail after the trotter.
The crowd Of horsemen present at once
saw that Wabash had mixed but fats
gait that is peculiar to himself. When
on the back stretch his legs seemed to
sprangle out on all sides at once, and he
bowed his back like a bucking broncho
and blew cloud of steam out Of his nos
,rils. Colonel Burnes proudly waved his
hand towards him. and said to the crowd
on the quarter stretch: Now you all
watch that critter hump himself" If
''humping" meant believing until the
as,ounded Clorinda bolted across the
track and stood trembling against the
outside rails, Wabash certainly did what
the Colonel expected. Wabash came
along like a locomotive, passed the be-
wildered mare and was looping into the
home stretch before timorous Clorinda's
driver could induce her to tro.. Wabash
won by an eight Of mile.

THE AMERICAN EAGLE ON HIS
METTLE.

A fine specimen OF the American ca.
gle. caught on one Of the islands opposite
Santa Barbara, California, some time
ago. has been kept tied up in the yard o.
Birabent's Hotel for some time, awaiting
a purchaser. This noble bird was sold
last week. and was temporarily placed in
the ward Of game foul fancier, who smil-
ed significantly when warned that the ca
gle might hurt his fowls. The grim-look-
ing bird had not been in the yard long
before the game cocks began to crow and
strut up and down in front of the strange
visitor. The eagle sat quietly in the
centre Of the yard, apparently uncon-
scious Of tie presence Of the noisy game
cocks, until suddenly one of them flew At
him and struck him upon one OF his
wings.
He looked down upon the little chtn-
ticleer with curious, inquisitive glance.
as much as to inquire what was the mat
ter? Then another brave game fowl
struck him in the breast, while number
one hit him in the neck. The noble bird
now opened his wings with lazy. leis-
urely swing, erected his chest feathers
and his eyes seemed to blaze like Goals OF
fire. The American eagle was becoming
in the business and rather an
cry. Again one of the golden pheasant
fowls dashed recklessly at the eagle,
grasping bunch Of feathers in its attack.
Before it could recover from its charge
the eagle had extended one of its talons
and seized the game-cock by its neck,
and by dextrous swing laid it autter-
ing and quivering beneath its left foot.
The second game fowl then charged
upon the huge stranger, whose wings
were now half opened and lazily rising
and falling. As the game-cock struck it
was met with blow from the eagles
wing. and as it fell was caught in the
open talons Of the captive foe and laid
and dying upon the ground.
The victor did not appear to be the least
excited. and, after thus disposing of its
adversaries, lazily stepped to
,ne side and seemed to relapse into q
state of meditative reflection, every once
n a while looking down indiferently up
h. bloody trophies Of its power, lying
lead at its feet.
