somewhat greater, but the gland in that

The Drainage Canal.

The Jordan & Salt Lake Surplus Water
Canal company is the euphonious title of
a corporation organized last Saturday for
the purpose of constructing drainage
canal from some point on the Jordan,
two or three miles south of the city, to
Salt Lake, for the purpose of carrying off
part of the immense volume of water
that must inevitably come down from the
mountains when the deep SHOWS begin to
melt. The capital stock of the company
is $4,000. All residents of the lower
portion of the city will rememberth dis
astrous floods of last spring, and unless
this drainage canal is constructed speed
lily, the damage to property will be much
greater, as the Jordan is already up to
high water mark, and the SHOWS have
only commenced to melt.

The Boycotting Movement.

A number of Gentle business men in
this city have been interviewed for the
purpose of ascertaining the effect of the
recent boycotting resolutions of improve
ment associations. They were unani-
nous in the opinion that their business
had not been affected to any noticeable
extent. A Main Street druggist had not
heard of the movement, and declared
that his sales during last month were
three times those of January, and have
been undiminished so far during the pre-
sent month. The boycotting seems to
have been done by those who would not
and have not patronized Gentiles in the
past.

MacKnight in the Pen.

The costs in the MacKnight case were
$92 40, which, with the $50 fine, make a
total of $142.40, which was greater than
MacKnight's exchequer could stand and
he was therefore sent to the Pen Satur-
day night. A sympathetic friend prom
Used Marshal Ireland that he would raise
the money for MacKnight's release to-
day, but he subsequently investigated The
matter and concluded to let Mr.. M. suffer
the penalty. The barrister will therefore
probably iquidate his fine by remaining
in the Pen 142 days. This conviction will
probably be urgedin the proceedings now
pending as an additional cause for Mac
Knights disbarment. Under the statutes
a conviction for felony or misdemeanor,
is in itself sufficient cause for disbarment
of an attorney.

"a Head no Helobore can cure" Hor AIRS. Peet.
1.-THE pineal gland, which many
of our modern philosophers sup
pose to be the seat ofthe soul, smelt
very strong of essence and orange-fower
water, and was encompassed with kind
Of horey substance, cut into a thousand
little faces or mirrors, which were i'm
perceptible to the naked eye, insomuch
that the soul, if there had been any here,
must have been always taken up in con-
templating her own beauties.
We discovered several little roads or
canals, running from the ear into the
brain, and took particular care to trace
them out through their several passages.
One of them extended itself to bundle of
sonnets and little musical instruments.
Others ended in several bladders which
were filed either with wind or froth. But
the large canal entered into a great cavity
in the skull, from whence there went
another canal into the tongue. This
great cavity was filled with a kind of
spongy substance, which the French an
atomists call jdilindtias, and the English
nonsense. We did not find any
thing very remarkable in the eye, saving
only that the muScuR dmdtorii, or, as we
may translate it into English, the ogling
muscles, were very much worn and de-
cayed with use; whereas, on the contrary,
the elevator, or the muscle which turns
the eye towards heaven, did not appear
to have been used at all"
The skins of the forehead were ex-
tremely tough and thick, and, what very
much surprised us, had not in them any
single blood-vessel that we were able to
discover. either with or without our
glasses; from whence we concluded, that
the party when alive must have been en-
tirely deprived of the faculty of blushing.

Che Funeral, obseqaies Over tie Re-
mains of VIM. Il. Pitts.

A post mortem examination of the re-
mains of the late w. II. Pitts was held
yesterday morning at II o'clock by DR.. j.
NJ. Benedict, assisted by Drs. Fowler,
Potter and Open. The examination re-
vealed the following conditions: A small
pneumonia of the right lung, the liver
about one-third larger than its natural
stomach the size, caused by fatty degenera-
! ton, the seat of acute inflammation, also
! the first ten inches of the intestine. The
heart and other organs were found to be in
good condition. The intestines and
stomach were invariably thin. The in
! flammation in the stomach covered a
space on the outer curvature the size OF
mans hand, extending along the
greater curvature, through the stomach,
and for a distance of ten inches into the
intestine. From these post mortem ap-
pearances the cause of death was found
to be acute Inflammation of the lining
membrane of the stomach and intestine,
commonly called inflammation OF the
stomach, but known to the medical pro-
fession as acute gastro-duodenitds.
THE FUNERAL oBsEoUIEs.
AS previously announced, an opportun-
ity was given friends of the deceased to
view the remains at the residence, from
IL O'Clock until 1.30, and several hundred
people passed through the apartment
where the casket was placed.
The funeral services commenced at 1.30.
Owing to the wide acquaintance of the
deceased and the universal esteem in
which he was held, the funeral was very
largely attended. The services were
opened by the beautiful hymn, ''Nearer
My God to Thee" which was
sung very sweetly and impressively
by Mr.. and Mrs. T. ]. Macintosh,
Miss Louie Wells and Mr. Thomas Craw-
ford, with organ accompaniment. This
was followed with appropriate remarks by
J. G.. Watson, DR.. ]. M. Benedict, W. S.
Godbe, and the exercises at the residence
closed with prayer by Bishop futile. The
following gentlemen officiated as pail
bearers: DIR. Gum, John Cunnington,
S. p. Teasdel, Frank Jennings, Chris |
Stokes and Andrew Smith The funeral
cortege was very long one, many friends
from the country being in attendance.
The remains were inferred at Mt. Olivet |
cemetery, and the services at the grave
were conducted by Rev. Putnam.
IT is said of William H. Pitts, that,
during his last moments, and after he had |
not spoken for days, he suddenly raised |
his arm; an inspired, far-away look came |
into his eyes, and he called out in a clear
voice: "Father-Mother," as if he had |
caught sight of them on the
other side of the dark valley he was
crossing.
