1t is inconycnicnt, else we would re-
print, from an issue of the Home Jour
nal a few years since, detailed reply to
similar questions as are propounded
above. We will ask Mr. Ogle to excuse
us for bricfreply on this occasion, and
We intend it to be a reply to several
other letters we have lately received
which are similar to his in the matter of
inquiry.
We'll, divesting ourself of all prejudice
in favor of our "native laud," We hon
cstly tell Mr.. Ogle, and call whom it
may concern" that no one devoid of
prejudice could fail to be pleased with
this climate. 1t is, perhaps, no better
than exists in many parts of Gods won
derful earth, but is no worse. The
same blessed sun gives us here in Frank
lin county his wonderful rays, and
night brings refreshing dews, under the
influence of which alternate medicine
from Heaven our crops of corn, wheat,
and other cereals, and our vegetables,
all thrive abundantly. Water-pure,
freestone-gushes from many springs
our streams are not sluggish, but rush
with life and music, afording power for
machinery of all kinds. Our county is
nestled at the base of Cumberland noun
tains, and it is lovely view to see the
tall SUBMITS of the same at all seasons
of the year. 1t seems as if the noun
tains wanted to hug and protect oul
immediate vicinity. Certes, it is
poetical land. Now, with a high situa

New YORK, August 9.-The Western
Union Executive Committee met here We'd
nesday. The secretary reported that no
action was taken about the strike, and that
to his knowledge Eckert had the entire con-
idepce OF the committee.
The order to strike on the Pttsburg dvis.
ion Of the B. so. was generally obeyed,
but four men remaining on duty; many
OF the strikers were non members OF
the Brotherhood, and struck
through sympathy. The road has been
enabled to till most OF the vacant places by
students and conductors. No delay Of pas
senger trains has occurred,
The Psnhaudle's officers look for strike
TO be made to morrow, the movement hav-
ing been precpitateG by the action OF the
Telegraph superintendent Of the road, who
demanded an immediate reply from all the
operators, whether or not they would re.
ceiye Western Union business. The reply
was In the negative, except In two cases. II
the road threatens them with dismissal for
refusing commercial work the entire force
will leave their keys
There was no cutting OF wires last night,
and the Western Unions business Is going
on smoothly. The strikers are still conf e.
dent OF success, and exhibit no inclination
Of weakening.

The Presidential Party.

FORT WAsHAKIE, W. T., August o.
The Presidents party arrived heTe this
morning and dismissed their mule teams,
intending TO take saddle horses for the
Yellowstone. All are in excellent spirits
and the President seems to ENJOY the trip
more than any one else. on Monday, after
leaving the railroad at Green river, the
party travelled 100 miles to Camp Lord, on
the Sweetwater, where they found an cX-
cellent dinner prepared under the direction
OF the depot luartermaster. For the last
for.y-fye miles the road ran through
country covered with sage brush,
and hundreds OF antelope
and sage hens and mule rabbits
darting away from the Gathering wheels
called out many EXPLANATIONS Of surprise
from the travellers. Starting from Camp
Lord the President rode with the driver
Of the front wagon for the first stage 10
Little Papoogie, where the party stopped
to see the operation OF gold washing. At
their camp near here Wednesday night the
Shoshones and Bannock Indians turned
out to welcome the Great Father, and
dashed around the party on horseback,
gaily alfred, the squaws even displaying
their Workmanship by riding astride in the
usual masculine manner.

fair, light-haired, blue.eyed German, and
possessed of considerable wealth. The
ceremony was performed by Justice

nuptials were kept close secret, and none
but themselves knew q word Of IL until the
twain were made one. Kicker went over to
EdwardSyille for the license. The happy
mSccgenationists have gone to housekeep-
Ing at Ricker's residence in the lower part
Of the city.

The Tariff Committee.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-rhe Treasury
department some time ago appointed
committee to con slider the effect OF the sew.
enth section tariff act OF 1883, as TO whether
1t is intended to repeal duties on all cover
ings OF goods, including the small
boxes that contain them, such as backing
or osar boxes, or only to repeal duties on
outside boxes necessary for transportation,
The committee made two reports TO the
Treasury department. One recommended
that only the outer covering should be
exempted from taxation. The other rec
commended that all covering should be
exempted and that duties be assessed only
on the merchandise. 1t is probable that
the department will refer the question to
the Attorney. General for his decision. The
questions involved are Of great interest to
importers, some fayorng the boxing Of all
coverings, and others combining the charges
TO the goods alone.
