HOUSE.

Washington, 20.-Ducker. of Mis-
souri,, introduced a bill anne lding
the act authorizing the construction
of a bridge across the Missouri
River near St. Charles, Mo, so as
to provide that no higher charge
shall be made for the transportation
of mails and army supplies to cross
the bridge than made upon railway
lines running thereto. Referred.
After the passage iof two private
bills the House in committee of the
whole, resumed the consideration
of the naval appropriation bill.
Calkin objected to the bill in its
present shape. During the course
of his remarks he said he was tired,
as an American, of seeing his coun-
try snubbed, laughed at and derided
by other nations. OH account of its
weak navy.

ter postage, from 8 to 2 cents. shall
take effect, from January 1st, 1884, to

SALT LAKE CITY. SUNDAY MORNING. JANUARY 81 1883
The Fleeing Spencer.

Nav York, 20.--A special from
Halifax has the folding: Ex-U. s.
Senator George e. Spencer has been
spending a few weeks in Canada,
and sails tomorrow for Liverpool
in the steamship PolySinian. Spen-
Ger was the first to discover the ex-
istence of THE fraudulent contracts
known as star route mail frauds,
and communicated the facts in strict
confidence to the chief of post-ofice
department, receiving that officers
word that under no circumstances
would Spencer's name be made pub
lie in connection with the trial. AS
a result of this information saving
has been affected to the post-office
department by cancelling millions
of dollars of bogus contracts, so
that now the department has become
self-sustaining, and the postal an
thOritieS are considering a reduc-
tion of postage rates from three to
two cents. The senator pronunced
the trial at Washington as a fraud
and sham, and those in charge of it
as masqurading before the Ameri'
can public, and that so far they
have spent $4,000 of the peoples
money in a trial that they do not
expect or wish should succeed.
The senator is quite willing to de-
pose in London before any Compel
ent commission, but says he has no
idea of attendance at the trial in
Washington at the cost of his pri-
vate business, which is of much
Importance to him.

lished by breeding thorough bred Ayr
shire-a descendent of the importation
made BY S. L. Gooddale, years ago-with
a full blood Jersey OF the Major Harvard
stock. The heifers of the first cross were
bred to bulls of the largest producing
families of Maine Jerseys and the same
course continued with the heifers of the
subsequent generations. breeding them
only to pure blooded bulls. The cows
and heifers now comprising the herd are
from seven-eights Jersey and one-eight
Ayrshire, up to thirty-one thirty-second
Jersey, and one thirty-second Ayrshire
and gave evidence of the success of
the course of breeding pursued in COM
bining the constitutional hardihood
and deep milking powers OF the
Ayrshire with the rich milking. fine butter
qualities Of the Jersey. The possession
of one e-eighth. one sixteenth, or one thirty
second Of Ayrshire blood by the different
animals. shows itself quite plainly in the
larger frame, fuller chest, rounder barrel
and more capacious udder than is usually
possessed bv full blooded Jerseys. 1t is
question how far this breeding up to
Jersey and consequently away from Ayr
seire blood. can be carried without neutral
iziug the effects of the earlier crossings.
II the claim of Cole and other eminent
breeders of the past, holds good. that by
breeding in one direction for four genera
tons the original blood becomes ex-
tinct. then these higher crosses have been
carried far enough; but it is evident that
these animals, Of the fourth and fifth re-
move, do possess qualities which are not
wholly the results Of the good care they
have received.
The flock of sheep consists OF S5 full
blood Shropshires. While this breed has
all the valuable qualities of the South
Down, it possesses the additional advan-
tages of larger size. Chester White pigs
are bred tor heme feeding and for sale,
some ten sows being kept tor breeding.

Queer Superstition in an Army
Hospital.

In one of the general hospitals at Nash
vile. when the place was fret occupied by
Union troops, there was q queer character
employed az nurse. He was a large man,
troubled with diabetes. This untitled him
for active service, but did not give him the
appearance of an invalid. The boys believed
that this nurse knew when man was going
to die. Certain it was that when rapid de-
cline in any man commenced, the sympathet-
ic old fellow took his place at the bedside of
the unfortunate and was most untiring in
his attention and kindness. In one row of
cots he had closed the eyes of four men in
death in as many days. The next man in
order, going from right to left, grew nervous
and was removed out Of the row; The Sec
ond man shut his lips and determined to get
well. One night, as this man lay thinking
over the mystery of the "fatal row." and
trying to reason about the old nurses strange
instinct, he heard whisper from the left
II say, stranger, if old Fatty comes and sits
down by you, hit him one for me, will your
lie hangs round for a fellow to die, like dog
waiting for a bone"
Days went BY, and the man with the COM
pressed lips was looked upon as the next VIC
tim, and every time the nurse passed, the
boys expectad him to cit down. One night
the nurse came through the ward, and siscov.
ering that the second man was feverish,
picked up fan and sat down at the head of
his cot. Quick as thought the feverish pa
tient sprang up in bed and said wildly !:
Take him first." pointing to the first cot.
'sYou old fool, can't you count! You can't
jump in this game, old fellow. Clear out,
now. None Of your sittin' down by me, when
it isn't my turn. First relief's gone. second
relief's gone third reliefs gone, fourth re-
lief's gone. Why don't you make the 6fth
relief fall in?'' This was the whisperer Of
the night before, now almost maniac on the
subject of the nurse. The surgeon was
called and the man was quieted; but even
when he was almost well he dreaded the ap-
proach of the sympathetic, kind old nurse.
Such superstitions were very common in the
hospitals of the army.-Intey Ocean

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, July 5, 1883.

Commander Thomas IL. Eastman
has been placed upon the retired
list of the navy by direction Of the
President.
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Elmer has prepared state
ment showing that tie cost of OF
Grating the star route service in the
Pacific section, comprising two.
fifths of the United States, during
the fiscal year about to end, was
ten and one-tenth cents per mile, as
against fifteen and one.tenth cents
per mile during the preceding fisc al
year.
The class Of naval cadets and
cadet engineers who completed
their six years course at the naval
academy June 1C, have been de-
tached from the academy and order.
ed to their homes. Next Monday
twenty.three Of this class will re-
ceiye their commissions in the ma
Wy, and tbs rest will be honorably
discharged from the service with
one years pay.
Important changes in the money
order system went into effect last
Monday, though the new postal
note scheme will not be commenced
until September 3, the longest linn
it allowed by law. The reduction
of fees will be the most interesting
item to the public, though the in
crease in the limit from $50 to 800
for which single order can be is
sued, will be appreciated by many.
For orders not exceeding $40 a fee
of eight cents is to be charged, a
sum two or three cents less than
the actual cost to the Govern.
ment. This is made up in the in
creased fees for transmitting larger
sums. The actual cost Of sending
500 is the same as $40, though the
fee for the larger sum is forty. five
cents.
Assistant Secretary Joslyn has
decided, IN the application Of John
Il. Collect for all increase of pen.
sion, an important point, being the
construction of the law of June 18,
1874: as to what constitutes "total
and permanent helplessness. The
law requires that the injury must
be permanent, and it must be total
to The extent Of requiring regular
personal aid and attendance of an
other person. These conditions are
fulfilled in this case, and the Secre.
tary therefore decides that the ap.
plicant is entitled, within the
meaning of the act Of June 18th,
1874, to- pension for ''total and
permanent helplessness," and he
directs the Commissioner to place
the applicant on the roll at the rate
of $50 per month, thus reversing
the former ruling OF the Interior
department in this class Of cases,
which in effect places a liberal,
rather than literal, construction
on the law of June IS, 1874.
