There was an interesting three
mile race at the Morris Roller Rink
last evening between Ed. Lundgren
and James McCanney. Although,
owing to the breaking of one of Mccain
neys skates "foul" caused by it, the
race was declared by the judges to be a
draw" it was none the less exciting.
Lundyren skated better at first but
McCNnney seemed to have most ems
durance and skated faster on the last
mile. Both skated very evenly until,
in the first part of the second mile,
one of McCanney's skates became
loose and he lost two laps i'll conse-
quence. From this time on he gained
slowly until one of his skates was
broken which of course closed the

One Way to Cure a Balky Horse.

A friend. whose name and address |
win give to any one, writes to the
Ialker thusly: II notice you a1e
always ready to say a good word for
that noble animal, the horse. i Our
neighbor had good horse--a large,
handsome horse. In one respect he was
better than most mon, for he had but
one fault, but that was bad one. and
greatly reduced his cash value. He
would balk, and always just when you
didn't want him to. My father was a
humane and practical man. He hap
pened to want good horse. he offered
our neighbor low price for his balky
horse, and then and there he became
straightway the owner of the animal.
For several days he fed and flattered the
horse, making his acquaintance. On
pleasant day he put him before single
wagon, putting newspaper in the seat,
leaving the whip in the stable, and
started off for drive. After going of
in good style about q mile the horse
came to dead halt and expressed signs
of a good, long stay. My father quietly
took up the paper and perused it. In
about one hour the horse started off in
full gallop and went about mile further
and came to another full halt. The
paper was resorted to for about one-halt
hour, when the horse started again in
full stride. After going short distance
lie headed him toward home, which was
reached in good time. The next day he
repeated the experiment with only one
balk, and that only one half. as long.
The third day was success no balk
at. ALI BE then passed him to the
teamster, who put him in with another
horse and worked him six months, dur
ing which he was never known to balk,
and not having further use for the horse
7sold him for $50 more than he paid
Christian at Work.
Congress twenty-seven have lasted over
two hundred days, the last one included.
The longest Was the first session Of the
Thirty-trst-302 days, from December
3, lS49, to September 80, 1850. There
have been thirteen special sessions,
nearly all short. The Fortieth Congress
held five sessions. and is the only one
that ever held more than three.

MURRAY'S AMBITION.

The latest and best Is really 8
good one, and what increases its
richness is the fact that it comes by
no devious, tortuous way, hence
may be relied upon. It is to the
effect that Governor Murray aspires
beyond the executive Office OF Utah,
and imagines that he can "woIk
the act" successfully. 1t ia said
and as before remarked, the informa,
tion has not Travelled long distances
before it reached us-that Murray
hanke rs for position in the cabinet
of the next President. His prefer
ence is the sscretaryship of war, but
failure to get that would not cause
him to decline any other portfolio.
And for this was he anxious to 90
to the Chicago convention, for by
means of his vote there and the in
fuence he would be able to bring to
bear on the successful candidate
for the nomination, he could extort
the promise of a place In the cabiner,
provided of course, the nominee
should be elected. The Governor
ship is to be held on to merely for
the purpose of keeping his Excel
lency prominently before the public.
and thereby make it easier for the
President to "choose" him. The
scheme is not deep,Iaid; On the con-
trary, 1t is rather shallow than
otherwise, bat about such a plan ss
one would expect from Eli. The
fact that more than one person to
whom it has been confded have
been prompt to give is away, makes
it appear thinner than it otherwise
would have done.

views on The Mormon question we
might believe taat in these amend
Imeuts was a cleverly laid plan to
drive half the "regenerators" out of
Utah for with such a law in force
they would be in constant peril or
in jail.
The three remaining amendments
are IS follows. They embody the
suggestions of the Commission as
conveyed in the late report of the
latter:
SEC. 2l.-That commissioners ap-
pointed by the supreme court or district
courts in the Territory Of Utah shall
possess and may exercise all the powers
and jurisdi ;tion that are or may he pos
sessed or exercised by justices of the
peace in said Territory under the laws
thereof, and the same powers conferr ed
by law on commissioners appointed by
circuit courts of the United States,
SEC. 22-That the marshal OF said
Territory Of Utah, and his deputies, shsll
possess and may exercise all the powers
in executing the Laws of the United
States possessed and exerci7ed by sherlffs
snd their deputies as peace ofic rs, and
they shall cause all offenders against the
law, in his view, to enter into recogniZ-
ance to keep the peace and to appear at
tie next term of the court having juris-
diction of the case, and tn commit to jail
in case Of failure to give such recoguiz
apce. They shall queli and suppress as
saults and batteries, riots, routs, ARRAYS,
and instructions, and shall spprehend
and commit to jail ell felons.
SEC 23-That the once Of Territorial
superintendent of district schools created
by the laws of Utah 10 hereby declared
vacant; and it shall be the duty of the
Supreme Court of said Territory to sp-
point q Territorial superintendent Of
district schools, who shall possess and |
exercise all the powers and duties i'm
posed by the laws Of said Territory upon |
the Territorial superintendent Of district |
schools, and who shall receive the same |
aslsry and compensation, which |
shsll be paid out of the |
treasury of said Territory; and the laws
Of the Territory OF Utah providing for |
the method Of election and appointment |
of such Territorial superintendent of dis |
trict schools are hereby suspended until |
the further action of Congress shall be |
had in respect thereto. The said super
intendent shall have power to prohibit |

SAM RANDALL put an effectual
quietus yesterday upon the little
Presidential boon that was trying
to make tself heard in his favor.
There isn't a Republican in the
party who could have preached the
false doctrine of protection more
ably than Randall did. The Demo-
Gratis are tired of nominating candi-
dates for "pclicy," and the disposis
ton all over the country is to nomi-
nate fer principle; which sentiment
will leave Mr.. Randall out, or class
him with the Republicans.
