We advise two new features in grating in our
articles on that subject, viz: Shaping the graft
at the bud, and setting it with the white wood
above the stock. These two features we find,
by the experience of thirty years in all forms of
grating, to be valuable and new. We nevees
saw them recommended before, and have tried
them for long time. and would not graft any
other way. We have tried many experiments In.
grating, but these we claim to be original. The
first feature of the bud form of graft will seldom
fail to take, and the second will always make a
wound heal over the soonest. We have often

Keep your sheep from severe storms Of cold
rain until shearing time if you wish to preserve
the fleece in the best condition. Sheep protect
ed from storms during the winter and then ex-s
posed to chilling rains in the spring soon acquire
harsh, rough wool. 1t should always be remem-
bered that rain is far worse upon the wool, as it
is in respect to the bodily discomfort Of sheep,
than snow. Place the sheep under good sheds
during storms and always have them lie warns
at night.

the parents console themselves with the
remark: "Well, we have done our duty
as we gave them an opportunity, and if
they have not improved it, it is their
1ault. SO well was the "Mohican'' be-
ing repaired that some of the timbers put
into her became so decayed through long
standing upon the stocks that it
was necessary to take them out and re-
place them with new ones. The records

In California, would it be unpatriotic
to ask whether or not the New
York ship builders and workmen
are after all but paupers? According
to Roach and the Republicans,
Skilled workman becomes pauper the
moment he works for less wages than
some other skilled workman. When
Secretary Whitney rejected the 'Dol-
phin' thereby causing John Roach to
shut down (you never could make John
shut up) and discharge some two thou
sand workmen, he did the American
workmen a great kindness, for as com

after all the genuine American workman
is only found in California, where he re-
celyes forty per cent. more for his labor
than in New York. "Westward the star

There have been some curious causes
of fire in New York within the last few
months. One woman let a roast get on
fire in the oven, and the blazing fat ran
all over the kitchen floor. The fire in a
smoke house got so hot that the hams
and sides of bacon blazed up and the
flames poured out of the doors and
threatened to burn the whole building.
Stacking lime fired one building. In
twenty-seven cases the flames burst
spontaneously from piles of rags or rub
bish, fifteen of the piles being only rags.
In two cases some men carelessly ex-
posed some PHOSPHORUS to the afr so
that it blazed. Sulphur was fired in
another case while workmen where
handling it. The friction of machinery
fired two different shops.

NEWSPAPER WRITER'S.
Contributors to the Magazines
Writers for the Daily Press
Fame.

After all the best mechanics are not
amateurs, but those who make it the
business of their lives. Most of the best
writers in the country are engaged in
practical newspaper work, as little recog-
nized as this fact may be. Writing is
their profession, and they do it better in
almost every case than amateurs. A
large number Of the magazine writer's of
to-day are professional men, scientific
men, soldiers, travellers and explorers
The subject matter of their articles makes
them valuable, not the manner in which
it is presented. Many and many an in
teresting sketch or profound essay is writ
ten in an awkward and ungraceful way,
which no good city editor would allow
one of his reporters to use. Columns are
read through, and the gist found tucked
away in few lines at the end. No won
der that Dean Swift said that books were
like lobsters-you must look for the best
meat in their tails and lay the bodies un-
tasted back in the dish.
The economy of space restricts the
newspaper writers. A good journalist
knows that anything more than column
or column and half at the outside, is
seldom read through. He writes to be
read, and restricts himself accordingly.
A practical writer learns to condense vol
umes in paragraph. "a good reporter
would put the story of Jean Vatican in a
column and a half and would make his
escape from the galley the sensational in
cident," said an editor, one of the best
local writer's Louisville has ever had, not
long ago. And no sketches as short as
these will give man reputation unless
exceptionally brilliant.
There are exceptions to this rule. as
there are to all others, but these do not
prove the reverse to be true The reading
public are not critics, and these things
pass Unnoticed. Many brilliant writer is
toiling on unknown, while men with not
half his brains are becoming famous.
The man who writes column of para
graphs every day does infinitely more
work, and usually does it better and
brighter than the author who writes a
mediocre novel once in two or three years.
Yet it is rare, indeed, that his achieve
ment gets outside of the Office where he
tolls for his daily bread Fame does not
come to the men who compose the fifth
estate except now and then, the few in
stances only making duller and more pro-
sale the lives of the neglected. A brilli-
ant article is copied extensively and
widely read without ever attracting atten-
ton to the writer. 1t may be talked about
in the office, but that is all-LouisviUe

OBEYING THE LAWS.

The epistle of the First Presidency and
the sermons that are being preached at
the Logan conference are overfiowing
with protestations OF love for the Consti-
tuition and of obedience to all constitu-
tional laws. When people constantly
talk one way and act another, it is safe to
say that their actions express their true
feelings, while their talk is merely gloze.
When men talk SO much about obeying
constitutional laws and how their religion
commands them to do SO, and they do not
obey the laws passed by Congress and de-
clared valid by the Supreme Court, it is
safe to put them down as hypocrites so
far as this point is concerned. If they
mean that they are to obey the laws they
like and disobey those they dislike, their
likes and dislikes being the test of the
constitutionality of a law, it is a differ
ent thing; and what may to-day be a
constitutional law tomorrow may be un-
constitution. With such men law means
license and their own desire the test of a
laws validity. That no government can
permit such a condition of things to exist
goes without saying. The worst part of
this business of hypocritical prating about
obeying all constitutional laws is that the
great majority of those who listen to it
believe it, and think that those who are
toll r L.
country and the upholders of her insti-
tutions, and that Congress, the Executive
and Supreme Court are the ones who are
continually endeavoring to rend the Con-
stitution in twain. 1t is great pity that
some of those who are SO intensely anx-
ious to obey the laws, and who are no
doubt violating the Edmunds law, if it
could be proven, cannot have the privil
ege of serving term in the Penitentiary.
The epistIe says that "to be prosecuted,
to be Disseminated against, to be separ-
ated from the rest of the world, to
be imprisoned and abused are not
causes OF sorrow to true Saints;
they are causes OF rejoicing" Then
why do they complain about these
things all the time? They should re-
joice, for "they are causes of rejoicing"
If the people here complain about these
things they are not the true Saints ;''but
upon reflection we are not certain that
what the world calls complaining is only
the "true Saints way of rejoicing This
must be so if a continual violation of
law OF Congress is ali upholding of the
Constitution and a rendering OF obedi-
ence to the claws made in conformity
herewith" Ii any say there are viola
tions of the law here in Utah, such are
mistaken. The epistle plainly declares
that "we are expressly commanded, and
1T becomes our duty to uphold and sus-
tain every law of the land which is con-
stitutional /; we have always had strong
desire to obey such laws, and to
place ourselves in harmony with all
the institutions of the country" At
present it looks as though the etrue
Saints" were acting under a kings X.

FROM THE dispatches it appears that
Mrs. 0'Connell, the wife of descendant
OF the Great Liberator, has succeeded in

tenants refused TO pay any rent, although
she at first offered reduction of fifteen
per cent, which they refused to accept.

paid Their rent. 1t was a victory for
Mrs. o'Connell, and wishing to do all
she could for the tenants. she VOLUNTARILY
and generously gave them a reduction of
twenty per cent. 1t is thought that the
tenants acted upon the advice of the
Irish leaders, who feared that the boy

family would have bad effect upon the
general cause.

FERDINAND WARD.

Ferdinand Ward, of the famous firm OF
Grant & Ward, has been making a state
ment regarding the affairs of that con-
Germ. The story of his frauds and failure
is long and dreary, and about as clear
as any that has been given. Ward
entirely exonerates General Grant. 1t
is not SO perfectly clear that some Of
the Generals sons were entirely ignor-
ant of the ways of obtaining profits,
for they had direct dealings with the
firm. When men borrow 100000
for twenty nine days, and at the expira-
ton of thirty-five days receive profit of
$4,000, less the legal interest on the
amount borrowed, in the ordinary course
of business, they usually wonder how it
is done, if they do not know Just how it is
done. And this is what Col. Fred Grant
did, if Ward is to be believed; and it
seems there are receipts to this effect.
The whole concern was a stupendeous
fraud, and the full history of it is not yet
known. When that history is known, it
may turn out that the firm of
Grant & Ward was a Credit
Mobelier on a small scale, and
like the Credit Mobelier it may in
volve greater men than is generally sup
posed. The New York Herald, in COM
menting editorially upon the revelations
of Ward, says that life insurance COM
pany and also trust company figure in
Wards statement. Insurance and trust
companies are not the special creations of
a firm, nor are they usually formed or
incorporated to aid a firm, but are
utilized by firms as they find them.
A long list of the initials of those who
stood behind Warner and shared
in the profits is given, and the
publication of this list seems to have
whetted public curiosity to keen edge.
Two or three men can commit vast
amount of fraud, but if some who deal
with them grow rich, surely no fraud has
been committed upon them. Fish, Ward,
and Warner are not the only ones in this
affair who could tell, if they would, how
profits were lest and won. The history
of the whole affair will be interesting and
instructive, and should be copyrighted
by those who may write it, for "there's
millions in it."
