one place and another, took her to little
entertainments and soon came to know
her right well. She was very polite to him.
Clytie was a line looking young woman.
She had received some fine finishing touches
at the Private Parlor Seminary. Among
these was vocal music, including piano &C
compartment to nine songs. She sang
three OF these songs each evening to Charles.
She certainly was a finely developed young
woman, well proportional, well rounded

animal spirits and fond of the boys. When
she encouraged Charles, she did nothing
more than many another girl would have
done in regard to SO gentlemanlv a young

Some soldiers were lett on Che little island
of Brazos Santiago, and a collector of the
customs. This gentleman erected a frame
building of two rooms raised on piles hard
" high enough to save it from being flooded.
On top was a cupola, the lantern in which
served for a long time as a big lighthouse.
A flag was hoisted, and to the great salts
faction OF the authorities at Washington
public proclamation or announcement wal
made that a port in Texas was open to
trade. No mention was made OF the fact
that the depth of the water on the bars
was but a very few feet; and in point OF
fact the deputy collectors labors were
confined to endeavors to keep his sale anil
himself from being washed away.
Fortunately the authorities ''builded bet

Why Boys who Smoke are Rejected.

The United'States navy annually takes
into service large number of apprentice
boys, who are sent all over the world and
taught to be thorough sailors 1t has
| been the policy of the Government since
the war to educate the "blue Jacket" up
on the principle that the more intelligent
a man is the better sailor he is likely to
become. There is no lack of candidates
for these positions. Hundreds of BOYS
apply, but many are rejected because
they cannot pass the physical examina-
ton. Major Houston of the marine
corps, who is in cha ge of the Washing
ton navy yard barracks, is the authority
for the statement that one-fifth of all the
boys examined are rejected on account of
heart disease. His first question to boy
who desires to enlist is, "Do YOU smoke ?;'
ihe lnvariable response is, "No, SIR"
but the tell-tale discoloration of the fin
gers at once shows the truth The sur
geons say that cigarette-smoking by bows
produces heart disease, and that in
nlnety-nine out of a hundred the re-
lection of would-be apprentices on ac-
count OF this defect comes from excessive
use OF the milder form of the weed. This
is remarkable statement, coming as it
does from so high an authority and based
upon the results of an actual examina-
tions going on day after day and month
after month. 1t should be warning to
parents that the deadly cigarette is sure
to bring about incalculable injury to the
young. A law passed restricting its use
to the dudes would not, perhaps, bring
popular disfavor, because it might reduce
the number of these objects about our
streets, but boys indulging in the cigarette
ought to be treated to liberal doses of
rod in pickle" until the habit is thorough
ly eradicated.

observance OF the law, as declared in the
test oath, shows them 10 be fit TO partici-
pate in the government OF their affairs.
A celebrated political writer OF the last
century has this to say concerning tests
''Will not he, who IL so dangerous an
/ enemy that we cannot suffer him at large.
discover his enmity by his conduct, without
reducing us to the painful necessity OF
tempting him to an act of prevarlcatlon!
If he be so subtitle hypocrite that all our
vigilance cannot detect him, will he scruple
to add TO his other crimes the crime of per-
jury? 1t must no doubt be an
emergency of no common magnitude, that
can justify people in putting a mark of
displeasure upon man for theopinions he
entertains, be they what they may"
We will close our article with the same
admirable remarks with which the writer
referred TO closes his chapter entitled,
"Of Tests"
I'VE put miserable deception upon our
selves, when we promise ourselves the most
favorable effects from the abolition of mon
archy and aristocracy, and retain this
wretched system of tests, overturning in the
apprehensions of mankind at large the fun
damental distinctions of justice and injus-
tice. Sincerity is not less essential than
equality to the well-being of mankind. A
government that is perpetually furnishing
motives to jesuitism and hypocrisy, is not
less abhorrent to right reason than a govern
ment of orders and hereditary distinction.
1t is not easy to imagine how soon men
would become frank, explicit in their declara-
tions, and unreserved in their manners, were
there no positive institutions inculcating
upon them the necessity of falsehood and
disguise. Nor is it possible for any language
TO describe the inexhaustible benefits that
would arise from the universal practice of
sincerity"

have been, it has ever been sincere
and honest in all its efforts to dc
good here or TO eradicate wrong
there. During its existence it has
earned the justly proud reputation of be-
ing independent ii naught else; and TO
have done this in Utah is to have done
much. 1t will continue the same in the
future as in the past, and however much
We may differ from the majority OF the
! people OF Utah as to politics and religion,
We are more convinced now than ever
that when Utah's redemption from a
union OF Church and State, and all the
| direful evils whicl such a union
entails, comes, it must come from
within. The people of Utah
must learn that within the
Territories OF the United States the laws
ot The United States are supreme and
must be obeyed, and that no other au-
thority can or will be allowed to set itself
up as the equal or superior of that OF the
United States, even when that authority
Is claimed to be from God Almighty. The
| enforcement OF the anti-polygamy and
unlawful cohabitation laws will neces-
sarily entail much suffering and hard
ship, but when the people of
Utah complain of these things they
should remember that they defied and
ignored the laws, and that they
are reaping the whirlwind because they
sowed the wind. That this fact is to
some extent being recognized by the
people OF Utah We know, and that it may
be fully recognized and that they may
act in accordance with the lesson which
it teaches, is our sincere wish. It has
been said of us that We are opposed to
Utah's people and Utah's interests. Ii
desiring the vindication of the law, the
breaking up of a union of Church and
State in Utah, the advent of the time
when the material welfare OF
large majority of the inhabitants of
Utah shall not depend upon the
good will of priesthood, is a
justification OF the charge made against
us we cheerfully admit it. There is much
to be done in Utah, and progress is SO
slow at times as to seem not to be made
at all but although that may SO seem,
still the progress is made. Those things
In nature and in politics which last the
longest are OF slowest growth.
Affairs in Utah have nearly reached
crisis, and we sincerely believe that the
Government should now reach a final
determination either to suppress polyg-
amy forever or to cease its efforts to sup
press it and let it continue unmelested
forever. The time has come when the
tide which leads to fortune is at the flood,
and the decision of the Utah question
lies with the Government.

HASTINGS, sNeb., March 30.-The eight
men arrested for lynching Elizabeth Taylor
aud Thomas Jones on the night of the l4th
inst had their preliminary examination today
at Clay Center before the county Judge, The
evidence being insufficient to bind them over,
they were discharged. No doubt the grand
jury, which convenes in May, will take up
the matter.
HASTINGS, March 80. Preliminary exami
nation was held to-day at Clay Center in the
case of the state againat the Spring Ranch
lynchers, to witness which the court room was
crowded with eager citizens of Clay county.
Sin ce sending the news of the Fl, st arrest, an
other mar by the name of bsrnhart has been
arrested, making six in all. The complaint by
j. G. Kay charged the prisoners with the muir.
der of Tom Jones only. But three witnesses
were introduced by the prosecution, namely,
Coroner Eller, Mrs. Jones, mother of the de.
ceased, and Luther Virgins. The substance
of the testimony was that on the night of
March 10Th there were at Mrs. Jones' resi-.
dcnce besides herself. Tom Jones, Mrs. Tay.

mates to go out and he would follow, They
were made to crawl out of a window and were
met outside by n body of from twenty-five to
thirty-five masked men. Their hands were
tied and they were made to march toward a
bridge across the Blue, two miles south of

After srRument by counsel, Judge Burnett
summed up the evidence, from which he did
not feel warranted to bind the prisoners over,
hence they were all discharged. The senti'
ment of Clay county is nearly decided. When
the judge rendered his decision the applause
was deafening, and one Calvert, of Howard
went 80 far as to yell, tar and feather Hays, !"
one of the attorneys for the lrosecltion. The
prisoners all returned to their families this
evening.
There is an opinion that nothing will be
done till the meeting of the grand jury in

produce it and also other inmates of the
house Is severely criticised by many.
