Artistic Japanese Goods.

C.G. Littletield, representing Japanese
art manufactures, is at the Walker House.
A reporter this afternoon stepped into the
sample rooms at the hotel and cast his
optics over the multiplicity of things
japanese that were there spread out before
his view. They consist of vases of every
description, made of metal and bronze.
china-ware, silks, etc. The samples that
MIR. Littlefield carries are bewiIderingly
beautiful, elegant and costly. A lady's
wrapper took the reporters eye and made
him calculate how long he would be
single man if he would purchase such
an one and present to any one of
the fair sex, for the lady that
would not consent for such a
garment is incorrigible and deserves to
be an old maid.
The firm Mr.. L. represents has two
places of business, one in San Francisco.
the other in Chicago. Japs are imported
from Japan to make things to order ON
short notice, and to suit the notions and
caprices of fastidious customers. The
San Francisco house is known as the
lchi Ban, which means Gone Number. y
Or Number One.

The Troubadours Last Night.

A good audience greeted Salsbury's
Troubadours in their final performance
last evening. ''Tom, Dick and Harry is
a clever burlesque on the recent innova-
ton OF the Lyceum School of Acting, and
the studied attitudes, poses and gesticula-
tons, including the gags on the Delsar-
tan method, afford Salisbury and Mel
lie McHenry just the opportunities
such clever artists need. The piece
is light, bright and sparkling, and
of course Nellie McHenry is the
star of it. Like Rhine wine, she grows
better and richer as she grows older, and
her acting and singing have all of Aimee's
archness and vivacity, without Aimee's
French suggestiveness. Bubbling over
with contagious hilarity, the auditors inn
mediately catch it, and last night, if it
was ga sad night for Shakespeare,
proved exactly the reverse for all present.
"Tom, Dick and Harry is such funny
piece of satire, that we regard it as the
strongest piece of the Troubadours.

CURIOsITIEs IN THE MUSEUM.
Fare and Interesting Relics of Utah
and Elseyghere-Talk of a
New Building.

In going the rounds to-day the DEMO
Graf reporter dropped into the Deseret
Museum and took in the curiosities of
that institution. The gentlemanly
curator, Prof R. n. Ford, took special
pains to show the reporter the contents
of the museum, and in a crisp and
pointed manner, while giving information
concerning the wonders of which he has
charge, gave many of his ideas on the
situation of the Utah problem. He COM
plimented the course of the DEMOCRAT, and
said it was working for a result on
American principles and ideas. The pro-
fessor thought the policy of the paper
was in consonance with the demands of
the situation, and hoped in the future, as
In the past, that the DEMOCRAT would
avoid the ultra-radical policy and methods
persued and advocated by the Tribune.
But to return to the Museum, which is
crowded full of rare and interesting
things. There is an apron once worn by
one of the queens of England. A boat
padded by the famous Kit Carson is in
the far end of the building. This relic
was found in Utah Lake. There is tat
tered stars and stripes flag, the first ever
hoisted on Utah soil. Another flag, on
which is painted beehive and bear,
and carried by company of men that
acted as Brigham Young's body guard,
hangs around pillar in the same room.
There are scores of other relics of early
times in Utah, and birds, beasts
and Indian curiosities. Some things
that have become antique on account of
extreme age are found in the Museum.
There are several works of art-sculpture,
paintings, and bric-a-bric-which brings
one face to face with Socrates, Napoleon,
Washington, Webster, Clay, and others
of fame, long since dead and decayed.
1t would be impossible to mention the
whole catalogue which, to be sure, is not
enormously extensive, but which, never
theless, is a rare and valuable collec-
ton, the interest of which centres
mostly in the historical relics of the
Mormon people and the early
settlement of this Territory. AS years
roll by their value and interest will in
crease, and to the generations to come
will be precious souvenirs of the past and
teach them lessons that else could not be
learned. Since Prof. Ford was installed
as the curator of the institution he has
by untiring industry and energy done
much to make the place more attractive.
The rooms have been thoroughly cleaned,
the specimens rearranged, and the build
ing painted. By the Professors ingenuity
a water tank has been constructed, with |
hose attached, for sprinkling purposes.
Mr.. Ford says that plans are being con-
sidered for erecting suitable building in
a conspicuous place in the city. This
will be an excellent and most proper |
thing to do if accomplished. This insti-
tuition should have long ago been made a
more prominent public place, and we sin
cerely hope that the company owning it
will soon take the necessary steps to put
it where it belongs.

An Intelligent Fox.

One of the stalkers in the deer-forest
