Officers and the Cowboys.
l.. R. Kellogg Of Snake Valley makes this
statement to the Salt Lake Tribune Of q
long and rather muddled story of cattle
stealing that has been going the rounds for
the last month:
Two thieves, one named Mccarthy and
the other unknown, stole nine head OF
cattle in Spring Valley, Nevada, and drove
them to Frisco, Utah. They were known
to be thieves in Frisco and SO Deputy
Sheriff Bowen arrested them and started
with them for Milford. Arriving there he
took from them their horses; saddles, re-
volvers and $500 in money and b babe
them leave the country. They went away
OH foot, and when out a short distance
Bowen overlook them and told them if
they did not get clear away out OF the
country they would be killed. They walked
to Kellogg's Ranch in Snake Valley, 70
miles, reaching there foot sore and utterly
destitute. Mr.. Kellogg was absent. The
men told how they had been used, asked
permission to remain for their board to
help the men who were building stables,
and saying that upon Mr.. Kellogg's
return, il he would 60 with them and
protect them from mob rule, they

ing at the ranch, and before
Mr.. Kellogg reached home Constable
Sackett of Frisco put in an appearance.
He came with q double team and light
wagon. He said he was not an officer and
had not come for the cowboys. But dur
ing his stay they found he was fully pre-
pared with handouts and other jewelry to
take in two or three prisoners. Thereupon
the cowboys took possession of the Consta-
ble's arms, horses and shackles, and told
him if he would agree to get back their
horses, arms, etc., they would wait for
him and give him back his own property
in exchange. This he refused, whereupon
they told him, inasmuch as they had been
forced to walk across the desert from the
east. it would be good for him to do the
same thing from the west, and they made
him do so. following him out several
miles. Then they, armed with his weapons
and riding his horses, left the valley, and
have not been heard of since. The people
down that way are divided in opinion,
some sympathizing with the officer and
some with the cowboys, declaring that the
showing is more honorable to the latter
than the former, or to the county that
tolerates such officials.

MEYERBEER' s PROPHET.

Unless the only convenient record Is at fault
Meyerbeer's opera, lie Prophetic" was performed
for the first time in this city land also III TINS
country in the season of 1850. The manager VINO
introduced the novelty was Mr.. Max MaretzeK'
who after serving for a season as musical director
for Mr. Edward Fry at the Astor Place opera
House. where the mother of Mime. Adelina Patu
was in the company, had four or five years
before entered upon his career as an ~-
pressariO. In nothing did the energetic character
of Mr. Maretzek's conduct of Italian opera appears
more plainly than in the promptness with Whon
this the newest of Meyerbeers creations was gwen
10 the New-York public But II was In the midsl OK
a half-decade when Italian opera was being cuiu'
waited with zeal that would be accounted phenom-
email now, and when managers had an elastic way
of recovering from disaster which now seems 10 10
monopolized by Mr.. Mapeson. Then the eA'
otto entertainment shifted It's home every
few months, being now at the fashiohaoo
new Opera House, then at Niblo's and anon az
Castle Garden. The latter place was frequently
the scene of summer performances, and there was
actually so much Italian opera song in the city, 10
is almost strange that entertainments In the verna'

result is not equally significant, since Gam
bridgeshire can ordinarily be depended upon 70
elect a Tory. In both instances the LaDerais
labored under signal disadvantages. iheir oc-
feat however, will be construed III elther Case
as an evidence of popular disapproyai.
Mr.. Gladstone himself is singularly sensitive
to Indications of this sort. On the eve OF the
session OF Parliament in 1874 the Conserva-
tives won two seats at Stroud and Exeter. Mr.
Gladstone suddenly determined TO dissoiVe
Parliament and to appeal to the country tneie-
by taking his own party completely py SURPRISE
and contributing powerfully to the overwnsini-
ing defeat which speedily followed. Iheso
tactics he will not be apt to repeat with equai
abr1iptness, since his petulance was eeherahy
censured by his associates In the previous IN
stance. He cannot be expected, however, 10
regard with composure the loss Of two seats, ac-
COMMANDED a. It Is with the Tory taunt that q
nonular reaction is setting in. These defeats
increase tbe chances of dissolution OF Parlia-
ment. Mr.. Parnell Is already at work upon MS
list of candidates. The Conservatives are chai-
longing the Government to appeal to the coun-
try and ostentatiously preparing for the general
election. The Liberal press Is also discussing
the probability Of an early dissolution and urg-
ing the committees of organization to be ready
IN take action at a moments notice. Mr. Glad
stone will not surprise the country, therefore, IL
he decides to order general election. at the
same time he will be reluctant to make Egypt
and the Soudan the basis of the appeal, when
the Reform Bill at later period will materially
strengthen his position.
The latest mail advices state that the Liberals
are planning a series of popular demonstra-
tions in favor of the Reform Bill. The first OF
these will be great meeting to be held In Lon
don soon after Easter, and this will be followed
by similar mass meetings in Birmingham, Man
chester, Newcastle and the great provincial
centres. A persistent attempt will be made to
divert public attention from scenes OF uncer-
tainty and disaster on the Nile to questions OF
practical reform. The success of this political
maneuvre will depend largely upon the per-
sonal fortunes of General Gordon during the
next few weeks. A third victory by General
Graham will not decide the fate Of the Soudan.
II is at Khartoum that the balance Is poised.
If General Gordon be overwhelmed by superior
numbers in front or be betrayed by treacherous
allies behind him, the reputation of the Glad
stone Ministry will be seriously, perhaps IT,
remediably, impaired. If orders are given for
an ignominious retreat and Zobehr, the old-time
Sultan of the slave-hunters, be proclaimed
master of the Soudan, the moral sense OF Eng
land will receive sudden shock and public
sentiment will be prejudiced against the Liberal
Government. New disasters or reckless
policy in Egypt may in this way precpitate
dissolution of Parliament.
