Tue Rev. Jasper, whose theory that
the ''sun do novel, convulsed the
scientific world some time ago, is a
martyr 10 his fidelity to the cause OF
astronomical reform. He declares In a
recently published letter to a sympa-
thizipg friend that the majority OF his
congregation have deserted MIN and
gone<oyer TO a rival fold. The split in
his church he attributes to his promul-
CATION Of the dogma in question, which
although 1t drew proselytes for a time
and made numerous converts to his
theory, has now reduced him to preach
ing TO empty benches. This Is the fate
which unfortunately is too apt to at
tend those who have the courage to
make discoveries in advance Of the
times. Gallileo was not perhaps the
4 d rst astronomer, nor will the Rev.
Jasper be the last, to suffer for an as
Economical theory.

GENERAL GRANT is very much inter

1t is probable will take quite an active
part. 1t can bs said officially that he
will not In any sense be a candidate,
and will under no consideration per-
init his name to be used in the conyen
ton. He will not support President
Arthur. He is strongly opposed to his
denomination, and does not think he
could be elected II nominated. He is
at present inclined to be very friendly
to Logan. Their difference on the
Fitz 10 hn Porter question never re-
suited in any personal feeling between
them. Grant is grateful for the gal
liant 6ght Logan made for him at the
Chicgo convention, and will do what
he can to repay him.

An Unfortunate Whale.

Whales are not frequent visitors to
our shores, but one of the monsters of
the deep has been unwise enough lately
to make its appearance in the Tay,
where the treatment ii has received is
not such as TO render repetition OF its
visit probable. The unfortunate crea-
ture seems to have been subjected to
horrible torture. Three harpoons were
fired into il, and n steam-tug. steam
launch, and three whaling boats were
made fast to the lines: but the whale
made of 10 sea, and for no less than
twenty hours towed all the crafts in its
wake. Its pursuers, as the prospects
of capture became less hopeful, fired u
number of marlinspikes and iron bolts
into it. But still the whale sped on III
its agony dragging the vessels after 1t
until the lines snapped, when 1t swan
vigorously away, and has not since
been seen or heard of. Experienced
whaiers. it is stated, are of the opinion
that Notwithstanding the strength it
displayed to the last, the whale is not
likely to survive the injuries it has re-
ceived, and that itmay be picked up,
in day or two. With harpoons. mar
linspikes, and iron bolts in lis body. the
whale, if still living, must indeed be
suffering agonies. and it IS 10 be hoped
that death has before now put an end
to its misery. 1t is curious fact that
when needless pain is inflicted on very
large or very small creatures. no SYM
patty is felt for the victims 1t is con-
sidered cruel to ill-treat horse or a
dog; but TO torture whale or fly is
a different matter altogether.-St
.Inane's Gazette.

Cattle Raising in Colorado.

The Hon. j. NJ. Briggs, of Colorado,
has prepared and published series of
tables showing the profits of stock
raising in the parks of that state. The
north, south and middle parks seem to
be more especially adapted to cattle
than are the plains. The grasses are
more nutritious, and retain their quail
ties in winter better; while cold wealth
er at the altitude of which the parks
are situated, seem to affect cattle less
injuriously than it does upon the lower
altitude of the plains. Cattle in the
parks have never been affected with
contagious or epidemic diseases of any
character, and the percentage of loss
is extremely low The expense of
herding and wintering large herd of
cattle. say 1000, is from $1.25 to $50
for each head wintered. One herder
in summer and two in winter are re-
quired for each 1000 cattle, and their
wages and board amount to about $500
per annum each. Two hundred tons of
hay for each ZOO head is an extrava-
giant provision, and the cost of putting
it up should. not exceed 81 per ton.
This makes the total cost of keeping
1000 head of cattle less than 81, 200
year. But allowing the cost of herd
ing and wintering cattle to average 50
per head, the expenses for ten years
would amount to only $40, 996; which,
deducted from the sales, in ten years
$4S3, $50, would leave net balance of
$403, 1874, OF more than 80 per cent.
upon an investment of $4,000.

Kate Field in Salt Lake CITY,

GAS for the assertion that there are
no waits and strays, as in the large
cities of Christendom, | reply that
President Taylor way of putting this
matter is unfair There are not as
many waits and strays in Salt Lake
CITY as in New York or Boston or Chi
cago, but there are more waits and
strays in this town than in any town
known TO me of equal population. In
an article contributed by me to the
North american ReUietU several years
ago, brought forth statistics proving
that the church, through its high Off
GERS, had thirty-five distilleries in force
when the gentiles first came to Utah.
As 10 gambling. let me tell you little
story. There are more gamblers in
Salt Lake City than in any town of
similar size in the country. Having
always been told that the wicked gem
tiles were responsible for all the crime
in this Territory, | was greatly sur
prised on being informed that the
sporting fraternity declined to register
for the purpose of voting the Gentle
ticket Meeting one of the wealthiest
gamblers il the street one day, | asked
him if this report was true. Yes he
replied, 1T is perfectly true; we don't
intend to vote, for the reason that we
who are Ishmaelites throughout the
world desire no change in the govern
ment. Under Mormon control we can
flourish cheaper and better than under
any other government. Correspond

The FIRST Shave.

The first time in barber shop is an
event of importance in every young
mans life. He will wait, in some
cases, three weeks after determining TO
do it, and on the eventful day he has
been known to sneak by the shop sew
enteen times, summing up his courage
for the trying ordeal On entering the
door he feels that every one in the
room knows this is his first appearance,
and that they are microscopically
searching for his beard The barber
gives him hard look zen notifying
him that it is now his turn. But he is
determined to put on a stiff upper lip,
as worldly people say. and so through
the operation with the stoicism of a
veteran. He is remarkably sensitive
to ridicule, and not for the world would
he have the barber know that this was
the first shave. So he sits on the arm
of the chair, instead of on the seat, and
in getting down lies too far back.
When told to bring up his head, he
hastily does it, and knocks over the
stool in the operation. This causes the
blood to rush to his face, and the en-
barrassmt mt which produces it is not at
all modified by detecting the barber
exchanging significant glances with the
operator at the next chair. When the
lather is being put on he cannot con-
troll the working of his imagination,
and he finds himself possessed of an IL
resistible desire to smile sheepishly.
This proneness to grin is inexplicable,
but it is inseparable from the first
shave, and the victim is obliged to re-
sort to every facial artifice to overcome
it, and then doesn't succeed.

respectfully,
MeXico's Anti-Nickel War.

Treating of Mexico's anti-nickel war,
a correspondent of the New Orleans
Times Democrat says: ''For a foreign
er to learn the names and value of
Mexican coins is almost equal to be-
coming familiar with the nomenclature
of the streets, and this latter is feat
worthy to be ranked with the acquisi-
ton of the Chinese language. Imagine
having to cucumber your memory with
the following denominations and their
innumerable combinations: A medic
centavo, or half cent; centavo, or
cent; taco, or 1-2 cents; quartllla,
or cents; medic, or st cents; real,
or II IL cents; a peseta, or % cents;
medio-peso, or so cents; a peso, or
81, etc. the main objection seems to
be that the introduction of the new
currency was made awkwardly, and,
many say, unfairly. Instead of allow
ing the people to become gradually ac-
customed to the new coins, and estab-
fishing them upon as firm a basis as
the old, all at once the whole country
has been flooded with nickel; in the
course of few months it has rained
down about $4,000 900 worth of this
base metal, which has been made the
object of such Ubiquitous speculation
that its value has deprecated to al
most nothing"

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY d, 1884.
Married by Proxy.

Among the cabin passengers on the
bark Veronica, which arrived at this
port from Fayal recently, says the
New Bedford Mercury, was a young
lady, perhaps twenty years of age,
quite pretty, who was registered on the
passenger list by the modest title of
Louisa Augusta de Olivera. This young
lady was married at the islands several
weeks ago, yet singularly the first
glimpse of her husband was obtained
through the cabin window of the We
ronica, as he stood on Propeller Wharf
impatiently waiting for the vessel to
come alongside the dock.
The steward of the Veronica explain
ed to a reporter that marriage by proxy
was not uncommon among the island
ers. 1t is becoming popular, for worse
than awkward results have frequently
followed where the girl has Travelled a
long distance to meet the man to whom
she is betrothed, and the latter refuses
to marry because the young lady does
not realize his anticipations. Careful
mothers are accordingly averse to send
ing away their daughters on this G. 0.
d. subject to approval principle, and
now demand some guarantee of good
fs.Ith.
The courtship in the present instance
was conducted by friends of the young
lady and gentleman. Photographs
were exchanged and the compact was
made. The bridegroom forwarded a
power of attorney, and the ceremony
of marriage was performed by priest
at Fayal, marrying the young girl TO
man thousands of miles away. The
play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out
can be no comparison to q wedding
without bridegroom.
With her marriage certificate the
young lady engaged passage on the
Veronica, and exhibited some impa-
tience, so the steward says, at the
length of the passage. As the vessel
came up the Earbor she grew pardona-
bly, anxious, and scanned the wharf in
tently as the vessel was locked. At
length a young man came into the cab
in, and said a man on the wharf sent
him to sec if his wife was aboard. The
steward asked him to point out the
man, which he did. The girl exhibited
the liyeliest interest, and looked her
husband over with a critical and, on
the whole, approving eye.
The messenger returned with the
husband. The girl blushed, the hus-
band smiled, and they prosaicalIy
shook hands. Each was apparently
completely satisfied with their venture,
and the husband bore his young wife
proudly away.
