The Mountain Meadow survivors.

@.eS
Eureka Springs, Ark, March 21-lt is
not generally known that the survivors
of the diabolical butchery known as the
Mountain Meadow massacre, committed
by the Mormons in September, 1857, now
reside IN the vicinity of this city. Such
is the case, and at this late day steps are
being taken to present the claims of the
heirs and survivors to the government to
exact restitution from the Mormon
church. Most, if not all of the company
left Carrollton, in this county, in the
summer of 1857, for California. The train
had l4O souls, with forty wagons, alarge
number OF horses, mules, and other stock.
All that were spared in the massacre
was fifteen small children who
were rescued by Maj. Whiting, United
States army, and brought to
Fort Leavenworth in August, 1859, and
brought to Little Rock and reached
their friends in and near Carrollton over
two years after their parents and broth.
ers and sisters were murdered by the
Mormons. The survivors are: Rebecca,
Loulsia and Sarah Dunlap, children Of
Jesse Dunlap; Prudence, Georgianna and
Angeline Dunlap, daughters OF L. D.
Dunlap; Sarah A. and VIM. B. Baker,
children of w. B. Baker; G. G. aud Serv.

The Outlook for Fruit,

Chicago Grain and Provision Review:
Replies to circulars sent out by st.
Louis firm to ascertain the affect of the
severe weather of the past two months,
indicate that in Illinois the peach crop
has been entirely killed; cherries have
been badly injured; blackberries and
black raspberries have been killed to the
snow-line; pears have been touched to
some extent, but red raspberries, straw
berries. apples. and other fruits are in
good condition. In Kentucky the peach
crop is severely blighted. In Missis-
sippi the fruit buds are all right, but
fears are felt OF wet frosts IN the
spring. The prospects IN Louisiana are
better than they have been for six years.
The winter in Alabama was so severe as
to almost completely ruin the fruit crop,
and gardeners have turned their attention
to cultivating vegetables. In Texas the
peach and other fruit buds are IN splen.
did condition, only, as in Mississippi,
tears are felt for frosts in the spring.
The reports from Arkansas are to the
effect that only part of the peach crop
was injured by the cold weather; straw.
berries promise splendidly, and other
fruits ore in good condition, with the
exception of grapee.

A Lost Art Recovered


Pittsburg, Pa, March 2O-A chemist
of this city is said to have re. discovered
the lost art of making articles from OBJ.
sidian, species of volcanic glass, among
them black mirrors, which are used IN
the making of astronomical instruments.
His attention was first directed to the
subject in 1879. while on visit to Pom.
peii. Here be found fragment of a
statue (au army made from obsidian, aud
its evident klnehip to the lava, there 60
abundant, led him to think it might
have been made thereform. Bringing
away with him his trophy and a quanti-
ty of lava, he began an investi.
cation and series of experiments which
hnally led him to knowledge. not only
OF the component elements of obsidlan,
but also as to how it might be reproduced
by artificial means. His first successful
"melt" was made in this city in the latter
part OF 1881 He made a number of or
namental articles and several slabs of
the nev glass. and went to New York
city and set upa small furnace for its
manufacture. He one day visited we'll
known manufacturer of optical lenses,
MIR. Weiskopf, and asked what he would
charge for polishing slab of it. Mr..
Weiskcpf wanted to know what it was,
and when he got the informa-
tion curtly named high price. Much
to bis astonishment, the terms we're &C.
cepted, and q day was named when the
work would be completed. When he
called for it, Mr.. Weiskopf's brusque
manner was gone. do you know what
you have done ?" the lensmaker inquired,
"You have redlscovered the lost art of
making black mirrors. Don't get excited
and think there are millions in it for yeu :
for only few of them are used. Yet
your discovery is of the greatest scientific

The terms of the call of the national
republican committee for state and dis
trict conventions are causing consider
able comment among congressman. The
call provides that state conventions must
be called ut least thirty days before the
national convention, and on twenty days'
notice and for fifteen days before the
state conventions of the respective states
in which tho districts are located. The
failure to comply with this call will give
occasion tor contests in the national con.
vention. This requires the calls for dis.
trict conventions to be made at least
sixty five days before the national con.
vention. 80 that these calls can not be

be state convention, or congressional
district convention? If the latter the
call for the convention should be issued
by the 30th Of March. If the former by
by the l4th of April. The call of

THE GAZETTE's ACCUSATION.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-I was sur
prised to sec the following sentence
in the last issue of the Gozette:
Importers are inclined to under
value the invoice values of their
dutiable goods, in order to lessen
the duties; even goods exempt from
duty are apt to be undervalued, in
order to save the consular fees"
This is neither more nor less than
n direct accusation of dishonesty
against the merchants of San Fran
cisco and Honolulu. The Editor of
the Gazette should know, if he
doesn't, that shippers are required
to declare the valuation of their con-
signments on GGda0a. Does he
mean that they swear falsely and
''salt" their invoices or that they
have one invoice for the Custom
House and another for the trade.
What an honorable man Il merchant
must be who would Hundervalue"
his goods sin order to save the con-
sular fees!''
The duties levied in this Kingdom,
on imported goods, are by no means
heavy. They are not so heavy as in
the United States. Is it then pro-
bablc that our merchants would run
the risk, and subsequent penalties
consequent upon discovery, of "un-
der valuing their invoices, am
surprised to see a paper of the stand
ing of the GaGette, which is supposed
to represent the interests of the mer-
chants and planters, make such an
unfounded accusation.
