The English Premier.

There, in Office (on the treasury
bench). sits the hrs. ls.A s.. s. ss,s ~ COM
mons, stretched out, with his legs
before him, and his toes turned up to
the lantern roof. His hands he listless-
ly crosses on his lap. His head droops
over his right shoulder. His face is
pallid. The corners Of his mouth droop
as If in pain. His scant gray hair
clings like fringe Of floss about the
base of his great skull. His eyes are
closed. The powerful features. touch.
ed with a tinge of sweetness and over
worn with half century of politics,
mutcly engender pity. His ill-ftting
clothes hang loosely about his figure,
always 1.-the and active In motion, and
with free stride of wild thing of tho
woods. (But when Mr. Gladstone is
once aroused by attacks OF his oppo-
nents) ''the lax figure, which seemed to
sleep, suddenly sits bolt upright chin
in the air, and hands ciasping his
knees. There are only three fingers on
the left hand. tho bare knucklcs being
concealed with . circular black patch

All traces of fatigue pass away, the
eyes, large and luminous, keen and
gray, rest with anger upon the enemy.
The nostrils dilatc. tho lips, still close,
work impaticntly, the body leans for
ward. the hands glide upon tho knees
pressed outward.
..In q moment Mr.. Gladstone is on
his feet. Say it is fold night and
that he has come from some political
reception. He wears evening clothes
and flower. When ho comes down
to the house decorated with the spoils
of the garden the reporters sharpen
their pencils and members wait aboH.

cess the liberal chief rumples the fronts
of his dress shirts is secret as close a.
that of the age Of tho world. With .
couple OF quick steps he comes to the
dispatch box at the corner Of the ta-
bic, and for an instant beams upon the
house. Then he opens tho food gates
Of his oratory. and dcluges the CON-
mons with superb cloquence. "--Sccncs

DAVID o. CALDER.


Twice this week, here at home
has the truth OF the old saying thai
"Death loves shining marx" beer
strikingly verified, first in the de-
mise of Nicholas Greesbeck, and
now in that of David o. Calder
These were both shining marks
both being noble men. Few name;
are more familiar to the people OF
Utah than that Of David 0. Calder
few men were better known to the
many than he, and few could DOS
sibly enjoy = higher degree of conf.
denca and respect than he COM
manded, for as widely Is he
was known was he loved fol
his good qualities of head and
heart, and respected for his probity
and integrity. When one dies it is
the custom to be silent az to his
faults and misdoings, and to mag
nifty his good deeds. The grave is
made to cover the shades and stains
Of life, snd to illumine that which
was already bright. In the ease OF
our departed friend THE HERALD
does not have to hide the facts OF
soften the truth in any respect when
1T says all praise for him
nor are we otherwise than
honest and conscientious in
referring to the character of the
lamented dead as one to be emula-
led. Long and intimate acquain-
lance and association with him bred
and cultivated love and respect that
will continue while memory lasts.
In David O. Calder's death the
sadly bereaved family will not be
the only mourners their sorrow, deep
and heavy as it must be, is only
more intense than that of host of
living friends, while the pain and
grief Of the community will be Sc
we're and keen. Philosophical,
progressive and generous, he en-.
deared himself to the public, which
will feel that it has been deprived
OF one of its brightest and best mem-
bers, whose heart was ever right and
whose actions were Away. In hsr
mony with tae dictates OF a correct
Conscience
To the mourning family ard
friends one can only offer the poor
consolation of words, conscious of
their weaknesain as-uaging griei
so poignant as theirs.

over from Pensacola TO Fort P,ckens.
There are not so many accidents on
record there, because people know
the dangers and look oat for them,
but l know OF at least half a dozen
cases. The last one happened last
summer. A vessel cam . in port for
a load of lumber, and the captains
boy, quite good-siZed lad. IN fool'
ing about the rigging fell overheard.
The men hesrd scream and rushed
to the rail, but the only sign they
saw was red cloud in the water.
They got out the boat, and finally
recovered the body, but the head
and limbs were gone. Anothe'
time a soldier tried to desert from
the fort and. was eaten by sharks
You see, the brutes follow vessels
in from off shore, and get in the
hab t Of swallowing everything
that comes along, aud when a man
goes over they rush for The splash.
I've seen 'em moving around on the
bottom like a drove of hogs. They
generally swim slowly when not
chased, but they can work up tire
mendous race when they are chased.
and I've seen one jump twenty feet
into he air.
$40 show you how hari they can
bite," said the pilot. 's[ have seen
one take piece out of an oar. An.
other that was hauled alongside of
small boat took the cutwater in
its mouth and nearly crushed it to q
jelly, leaving twenty or thirty teeth
IN the wood.
f'Some time ago a Spanish gun
boat dropped in there, and the OF
fcers amused themselves shark
fishing. They had quite a circus.
They would take a small dynamite
cartridge, bind piece Of salt pork
to it, and tx it to a float and wire,
and send it 200 feet astern. Pretty
soon q shark would take 1t, and they
would fire by the wire. and the fish
would fly into q thousand pieces
If one was wounded the others went
for him and ate him Up. "-NeaL

ADVENTURES WITH SHARKS.
4 Coast Pilots Arm Broken by a
Blew from q Shark Tail.

"Yes, it was close shave, and l

ground that he was once put in

The court overruled the objection

Greedy expedition, THAT the body Of
my dear son be taken up and examined.
would like it to DO done by our own
doctor, and very quietly and privately.
! only regret that it was not done be.
fore he was buried; but at any rate
shall not feel satisfied until | have seen
the body 1t is not so much that ex.
rect to see his body mutilated; there is
another cause. / would like to know il
he was shot"
"What makes you think he was shot p"
81 have sort of presentiment. II
came in this way; About the time OF his
death had dream. heard him cry
ont for warm water and hot cloths for
his back. Oh, and l saw my poor boy
with great lump MS big rs an egg, with
blood oo2ing from it on the left side OF
his back. | have always since then
thought he was shot, and / would like
10 know. cannot believe the story Of
the men eating each others flesh, but
il il horrible, if true. Why couldn't
they oil die alive or live tOgether?"
"Do your sons wish the coffin
openedY"
'"Yes, and no. My youngest son is very
anxious about it, but the other three
are against it. They think we should
let well enough alone. As for myself, 20
long rs | have the bones of my poor
boy and nave given him decent burial,
what do l care if the poor, starving
creatures cut slice of his dead bodyP
He didn't feel it, and it didn't hurt him,
body nor soul. Still. l want to be sure

want to make certain he wasn't shot.
That's my reason. There are no ar

The New French Territory.

The kingdom of Cambodia, China,
which has just been annexed by the
French, is about as large as a sixth part
OF France. 1t is fertile and productive
region, yielding plentiful minerals, game
and fish-indeed, the fisheries of the
Great Lake are the chief resource of the
country, the exports bringing in some
f400,0 900 yearly. The Me-kong waters
the country and the most productive dis
trict borders the river, villages being
clustered thickly along the banks, where
the inhabitants cultivate cotton, tobac.
co, indigo and the mulberry tree. Be-
yond this zone is region of swamps
and lakes, where the fishing is carried
on, and further back is another watery
district occupied by rice and melon cul-
ture. Then comes the zone Of the high.
er plains, with valuable forest trees, pro.
ducing oil, lacquer, ETC.; and lastly the
mountains, yielding q harvest of india
rubber, vanilla, etc. Elephants and rhi-
nooeroses inhabit the forests, bui tigers
and leopards are scarce.

Gambling Dying Out


A professional gambler who has just
returned from tour Of the West, says
business is bad out there. At Denver
all the doors are open, but the bets are
SO small that no one feels like fighting
over them or even talking about them.
At st. Louis and Kansas City, both OF
which were once noted as sporting CEN
tres, not n single gambling house is
open. The law against it is very severe.
On most Of the Mississippi boats, where
the heaviest business used to be done,
gambling is positively prohibited. The
Mayor Of Chicago has 1t in bis power
to shut every shop in the city If he wants
to. while in Eastern cities the betting is
mostly "on change" which is distaste'
full to regular gamblers. New Orleans,
with it's licensed gambling houses. is the
principal winter resort, and there big
business is done from December tc
June. There is a general feeling among
the fraternity that all the States will
pass stringent laws and the professionals
will be driven to the pool room.--CeUe'

THE STORY OF A LOVE SONG.
Young Preacher who Hit the Popular
Fancy After Getting the 1fitten.


Upon one Of the many hills surround.
ing GAINESVILLE, Ohio, 10 beautiful
homestead which overlooks the smoky
expanse Of the town and the shining
course Of the Muskingum river. Thirty
years ago young preacher walked
down the hill from this home heavy at
heart and weary Of the world. Two
years before he had come to GAINESVILLE
fresh from the old collegiate institution
In Columbus as the Rev. FL. ID. l.. Web
ster. He soon fell in love with Ella
Bloxom, the daughter Of Judge Blox-
ON, who sang in the choir OF his church.
He was privileged as q pastor to call
upon his fair chorister, at the home OF
her married sister, Mrs. Henry Blandy.
The young, penniless preacher pro-
posed marriage to her, and was rejected,
The refusal was given in kind though
firm manner, and the young man per-
suaded himself that his suit was de-
med because OF his poverty and the
pride OF the girls family. He left
GAINESVILLE, for be could not be at peace
where the woman he loved was shining
in society.
In 1856 he moved to Racine, and soon
afterward wrote song and gave it to j.
p. Webster, the composer. This song
was the once popular "Lorena." In it
Webster wrote the sentiments Of his
heart to the memory of the woman he
had loved. People who remember the
songs of twenty years ago will readily
recall the opening lines:
The years creep slowly by, Loren-
The snow is on the grass again,
The suns low down the sky, Lorena,
The frost CLEANS where the tlOw'rs have
been;
But the heart throbs on az warmly now
AS when the summer days were nigh.
Oh, the sun can never dip 80 low
Adown affections cloudless sky.
In the days Of the war the song took
firm hold on the popular fancy. Sol
diers in the camps OF both armies sang
the plaintive verses. 1t was the "Annie
Laurie" Of America. The name "Lo-
rena" was given to all sorts of things,
and young ladies of to-day respond to
the same musical name which senti-
mental mothers OF that time bestowed
upon them.
When it became known that Webster
wrote the song, many of his acquaint-
ances in GAINESVILLE remembered his love
affair there, and concluded at once that
Ella Bloxom was the original of Lorena.
Miss Bloxom was married to William
W. johnson, young lawyer of Ironton,
who had been educated in GAINESVILLE,
and who is now the Chief Justice OF
Ohio. Mr.. Webster, who has drifted
about from pastorate to pastorate, was
recently stationed in Oak Grove He
also is married, having now a wife and
several children.
