A Mustache Changes White.

1t may not be known, generally, that
the hair, in many instances, is as liable
to change back to its original color,
t,om gray, or vice versa, A case to the
point is that OF Judge Sage, of the
Unitel States Court, ON the occasion OF
his daughters death at Lebanon. He
was called up home from Cincinnati
late at night, after the trains had all
left, and had to take the long drive
(thirty miles) in buggy. The anxiety
and the strain, mental and physical,
we're great. When he reached home in
he morning his attention was called to
;hs fact that his mustache had become
,most white. In the course of few
lays, however, it resumed its Original
hade. -Erchange.

ON May 2d mass meetings were held in Salt Lake City and in all the principal towns of Utah tc consider the petition drawn ur by the Council which recently convened in Logan. The petition is to be presented to President Cleveland, and among other things it recites that plural marriage is a part of the Mormon creed; ex- plains wherein 1t differs from polygamy as practiced in Oriental countries; denies that Mormons have been disloyal to the govern
 ment; complains of injustice in the national government in refus- ing Utah State government, and declares that the Commissioners appointed under the Edmunds law have grossly abused the au- thority conferred upon them, and have usurped extraordinary, ille- gal and arbitrary powers, and that the present Governor is a petty tyrant. It winds up by request ing the President to appoint a Commission to fairly and thor oughly investigate the Utah situ- ation, and pending its report pro
 tests against the continuance of the alleged merclless crusade.

ALTHOUGH visionary theorists may compute on paper that every foreign immigrant that lands on our shores is worth S1,000 to the wealth of the country, the grim facts of hard times are holding 1t in abeyance. There is too much unemployed labor in the United States at present. The prevailing rule of wages in America appears like luxury to a European laborer, but when he gets here he finds that a rate of wages is one thing and a steady job another. If he manages to crowd himself into a place it Is too often at the expense of another man already in pos session. These facts are we'll known to all workingmen. Under the circumstances, therefore, it is worth considering whether our government might not properly take action to protect ignorant foreigners from being imposed upon by the plausible and mis- leading stories of the steamship agents and others. America does not need immigrants at present. particularly immigrants without money.

THE latest report of the Bureau of Agriculture at Washington shows that the capital invested in live stock exceeds that invested in any other class of property, ex cept real estate and railroad se- curities. The Bureau estimates its total value in January, 1885, at $2, .425, ,000, divided as follows: Cattle, S1,107, 7,2S5,O0O; horses, 1852, ,2S2,000; mules, S162, ,494, 900; swine, S226,4O1,6S3, and sheep, S107, ,960,950. There were 43,771,- 900 cattle, an increase of 1,224, GOO during the year; 50,360,000 sheep, a decrease of 226,O0o; 45,192,0OO swine, an increase of 940,000; H. 64,000 horses, an increase of 394,- 699, and 1,O72,OOO mules, an in crease of 5S,000. There was a shrinkage in value in all kinds of live stock during the year, least in horses and greatest in sheep and swine.

THosE were noble words of Gen. Grant, uttered on the eve of his sixtythird birthday, and all the people will accept them as sin cere and in accord with the truth of his career as General of the army:
 I tried to do my duty to my countrymen of the South. They were fighting for q principle which they thought was right, but which we did not; but I always looked upon them as citizens of a common country. l believe when ever 1t was in my power I treated them as such. l never liked to think of them even as prisoners of war. I preferred to encourage them to go to their homes under parole. 1 can say that 1 never. even in the midst ot duty, had any other feeling than that which one citizen should have toward

TIE fact has already beer

TEE fact has already been clearly demonstrated that the change brought about Tn the Ma tional administration is to be for the benefit of the whole country. An exchange sums 1t up thus y: Ut was great gain to have a Pres ident who could wipe out the war line and absorb the ex Confed- crates wholly into political unity with all the rest of Americans. It makes It easier henceforth for both parties to contest for each State in the Union on the issue of the merits and demerits of their present policies without having them defeated by war resent ments. It was a gain to have 1t shown practically that Southern Democrats as Democrats are just as loyal to the Union and the government as other Americans. It was a gain to have 1t shown that all Americans, whatever their party name, agree in the main as to what sort of a government we should have, and that any party of them will give the country a patriotic and soundly American administration. It was q gain to have it shown that with such ex- captions as belong to the infrmi ties of human nature the great body of Republican officials were doing their duty honestly and faithfully, and that Democratic officials in position to supervise and see the work done must and would concede it. It was a gain to have Mir. Cleveland come in after having given such guaran- tees to that American sentiment which demanded a pure and non partisan government that he and the country are critical and sensitive as to everything he does. He has made in the main good appointments, and the country clamors when it suspects he has not and makes him show the why of what he has done. All this is well. But so far he and his party stand in the sunshine, getting the benefit of all that Republicanism has done that was salutary, and es- caping the censures that inevitably grow up agaInst a party long in power"

ALTHOUGH Kelley, tie man who thinks more of the Pope of Rome than he does of the President of the United States, has gone abroad. to Vienna, as Minister to the Court of Austria, the chances are that the Senate will refuse to confirm his nomination when 1t meets in December, and that an other will then be appointed in his stead.

As President Cleveland and a distinguished party of gentlemen were returning to Washington on May 4th from the ceremonies on the Gettysburg battlefield, an in cident occurred shortly after dark which gave rise to report that an attempt had been made upon the Chief Executives life. The train was running at a high rate of speed and was half way between Hanover and Baltimore, at a lonely spot, when suddenly there were three flashes from a re- volver and as many reports. "En- terprising" newspapers found in this incident chance to create a sensation, and lost no time in making good use of it, but the majority of the passengers on the train are of the opinion that some enthusiastic old Democratic farmer simply fired a salute in the Presi- dents honor.

SHOULD war be declared between England and Russia, it is inti mated in well-informed circles that among the possibilities will be the abdication of Queen Victo- ria and the coronation of the Prince of Wales as King. This, it is believed, would give an impetus to the war spirit that would lead to a rise of the people en masse.
