A Lamprey's Nest.

One day late in spring, writes John
Burroughs in the Century, as 1 was
passing over bridge CHANGED to see
two lampreys, OF "lamper-eels," as they
are usually called, engaged in building
their nest in the creek below me. 1t
was one of the most curious spectacles
L ever saw in our stream. They were
a few yards below the bridge, just
where the water breaks from the still
pool beneath it, and flows with rapid
current over its rpughly-paved bottom.
They were distinguishable from the
yeElOwish-brown and black stones and
pebbles amid which they were working
only by their motions. They were tug
ging away at the small movable stones
with great persistence. 1 went down
to the waters edge where they were
within reach of my staff, the better to
observe them. They would run up to
the edge of the saltwater and seize
upon the stones with their suction
mouth and drag them back with the
current and drop them upon their nest.
L understood at once why their nests,
which had often observed before, were
always at the beginning of rift it is
that the fish may avail themselves of
the current in building them. The
water sweeps them back with the peb-
bic in stemming the current to seize it,
They are thus enabled to move stones
which they could not stir in still water.
The stones varied in size from q wal
nut to goose egg. When one of them
was Juggling away at stone too heavy
for it, L would lend helping hand
with my staff L would move the stone
along gently, and the lamprey seemed
entirely unconscious of the fact that it
was being helped; it would drop the
burden at the proper point, and run up
for another. Indeed my aid and pres
ence did not disturb them at all. From
time to time, the larger of the two,
which was the female, would thrust
her tail with great violence down
among the pebbles at the bottom of the
creek and loosen them up, and set free
the mud which the current quickly
carried away. The new material thus
plOWed up was carried to the nest.
Twice in the course of the half-hour
that observed them, the act of spawn
ing took place.
Besides helping move the larger
stones with my staff, / several times
plowed up.the bottom with its point,
thus relieving the female of that duty.
The fish took it all as a matter of
course, and seized upon the pebbles |
had loosenCd with great alacrity. When |
/ thrust my cane beneath them and
tried to lift them out of the water, they
would suck fast to the stones and pre-
vent me but they did not manifest
any alarm. The lampreys became much
exhausted with the spawning and nest !
and large numbers of them
die when it was over. In June it is
not unusual to find their dead bodies in
the streams they inhabit

Diarrhea in Calves.

In the treatment of diarrhea in young
calves it is best always to begin with a
laxative. Give, according to age, from
two to three ounces of castor OIL At
ter four to six hours give mixture of
two drains of compound chalk powder
with opium, one dram of powdered
gentian, one ounce of peppermint water
and three ounces of starch emulsion.
This dose may be given twice or thrice
daily, according to the severity of the
case. 1t is best to let such calf suck
the mother; if this, for any reason can
not be done, then the rations of the
calf should be small, but frequent and
instead of milk alone it is best to give
equal parts of fresh milk and flaxseed
tea, in blood warm, never in cold
state. The admiyture of flaxseed tea
will prevent the milk from curdling in
the calf's stomach upon which depends
the scouring.-BreetierS' Gazette.

A Mormon Romance.

When the overland train reaches
Ogden, the agitation of the female
mind about visiting Salt Lake City
becomes evident. There are always
some ladies going there for the benefit
OF their health, and many more to-
crafty their earnestly; for, strange as
it may seem, the Mormon stronghold is
the great business, social and educa-
tlonal cenSre between Omaha and San
Francisco. The conductor told us that
there were always ladies bound for
Salt Lake, particularly during the
winter, when the climatei, salubrious
yet even in a large party the members
of the fair sex felt ahalf-amused trepi-
dation in preparing to inspect society
so entirely at variance with their prin-
ciples and notions of propriety.
What, then, was our surprise to meet
on the very day of our arrival Phila-
delphia lady, niece of an eminent
Presbyterian divine, who had been re-
siding in the capital of Mormondom
for five years. She was widow, who's.
extensive landed interests lay in Idab 0,
and who had found fine educational
advantages for her children, and a
pleasant social circle for herself beneath
the peerless blue sky and within the
circling snow-capped mountains that
bound Zion. She lived in a double
house with long French windows, sur
rounded by blooming garden. The
furniture was elegant and convenient.
Church privileges were ample, and she
had some friends among the Mormols.
Her bette noire was her landlord, whose
particular offence was his too great de-
sire to make Improvements and repairs
upon her residence. His manners were
very mild and pleasant but he at last
justified her antipathy by sending his
first wife to ask her to be his fourth
spouse. To free herself from associa-
ton with him after this, she bought
the house, when he coolly told her that
what she regarded as audacity had
been prospered by the Lord, and ena-
bled him to sell at profit
The romance of Salt Lake City is
the story of Libbie Young, and visitors
are. sure to hear it as an illustration of
how love rules the world Libbie
Young resided in Philadelphia. One
of her relatives was the second wife of
Brigham Young Jr. and while visiting
her husband fell in love with Libbie,
and Libbie became infatuated with
him. She refused to marry him, how
ever, unless he discarded his wives
an agreement which, strange to say,
was agreed to. Brigham, Jr., then
made a settlement on each of them
and he and Libbie were married. They
lived happily until the death of old
Brigham induced his son to look to the
succession to the presidency, when, to
strengthen his influence with the
church, he took to himself two new
wives. On this Libbie left him, and
ever since both Of them have broken
hearts. She still maintains intimate
relations with his former wives. and
frequently visits them and when she
goes to Salt Lake, Brigham hovers
around her residence to get glimpse
of her, but she will not see him. And
yet everybody says she loves him and
he still loves her, though ambition
proves the stronger passion.-Lippin-
colts Magazine.
