HOW SMITH WAS DISTURBED BY THE AD-

Smith, in some alarm.

your life. My name is Gum. AS soon as
heard you were unprotected, that you had
nothing on your life, Thought would run
in and settle this matter for you at once"
Then Smith got up and went to the other
side of the table, and said to himself: sIt's
lunatic who has broken out the asylum.
He'll kill me if halloo or run. I must hui

Then Gum, fumbling in his pockets af-

around the room and said to him: "You
can choose your own plan, you know It's
immaterial to me. Some like one way and
some like another; it's matter of taste
Which one do you prefer?"
cpd rather not die at ALL said Smith, in
despair.
'tBut you've got to die, of course" said
Gum; 'sthat's a thing there's no choice
about. All / can do is to make death easy
for you-to make you feel happy as you go.
Now which plan will you take"
"Couldn't you postpone it until to-mor-
row, 30 as to give me time to think ?"
''No, prefer to take you on the spot. 1
might as well do it now as at any other
time. You have wife and children ?'
''Yes, and I think you ought to have
some consideration for them and let me
off,"
s'Well, that's curious kind of an argu-

your family will be perfectly protected, of
course, and not otherwise.

A CASE FOR THE BLooDY-sERITERs.-A
white jury in Georgia has decided that
an estate worth 100000 shall go to
two mulattoes. The case was argued at
length, and the white claimants were rep
resented by able counsel; but the will
was sustained, and the award made as
above stated. This fact speaks volumes in
contradiction of Logan, Foraker, Sherman,
and such like persons, who never grow
weary of declaiming against the injustice
done Negroes and people of color at the
South by the white inhabitants. The jury
in this case has put strong negative on
the familiar romances which the unrecon-
structed Republicans delight to promulgate;
and we commend the Dickson will case,
tried at Sparta, in Georgia, to the consid-
Grafton of all candid people at the North
and West who have heard the South traduc-
ed by the bloody-shirters. Norfolk Land

REDUCING BONES FOR FERTILIZER. =.
Bones may be easily reduced to condition
for use as fertilizer in this way A pit
is made large and deep enough to hold the
bones. A layer of wood-ashes and about
one-third as much lime are placed in the
bottom about six inches deep; bones are
thrown upon this to the same depth; a
second layer of bones and more ashes and
lime are thrown in, and this is repeated
until heap is made above the level Of
the pit; the heap is then covered with
more ashes and lime and the whole is well
wetted with water. The heap is then
covered with soil, and water is added to
keep the mass moist. The lime and ashes
become quite hot, and soften the bones
80 much that in two or three months the
whole mass can be mixed up with shovel,
and then makes fertilizer worth at the
market prices of the fertilizing elements
at least $50 per ton. The mixture is
excellent for top dressing grass, or for use
on corn, and may be applied in the hill.
1t contains largo quantity of phosphate
of lime, which is soluble, and is so rich
in nitrogen and potash, thus making
complete fertilizer.

FIRST DAY OF OCTOBER, 1885,
Criminal Pardoning.
LEHI, U. T., September 16. 1875

LEHI, U. T., September 16, 1885.
To the Editor Of THE HERALD.
In your semi-issue of the 10TH inst. 1
notice an inquiry signed Citizen as to
why the Governor pardons certain
class of criminals, and not others,
think the reason is clear enough. 1t is
because of the Governors leaning
towards the Mormons, and, if took
the Tribune. for this act l should expect
to see him dubbed aJack-Mormon. Be-
cause to me it is clear enough he Can
not pardon the holders out, that being
a crime against the United States. And
it should be borne in mind that he is not
President, but only governor. so he does
what he can by pardoning out other
criminals, his object being to give the
holders out more room and better COM
pany.
/ hope this will satisfy Citizen.

well-Formed, Women.

Women who have their livings to earn
must encounter severe competition, and
they will never receive consideration
because they are women, says the
Philadelphia Press. They must excel
in order to be successful. Excellence
implies strengthened spasmodic, nerv-
GUS strength, which makes an effort
once in a while, under ordinary pres
sure, but the strength which can turn
off daily work without excessive fatigue
the strength which leaves the eye still
bright and the step elastic after long
day behind the counter. overt the sewing
machine, at the desk, at the easel, in Il e
kitchen, IN the school room. SUCH
strength as this does does not go with a
small waist. From the nature of things
it can never-unless, it has been point
ed out in exceptional caseS-be found in
women with small waists. Strong back
and abdominal muscle-muscles which
can do their work without the deadly
props of steel and whalebOne now so
universally Worn-a large digestive
capacity. rapid and utterly unob-
structed flow OF the blood in the veins
and the arteries-these are some of the
requirements of health and strength.
And these things take up room. In
most women God has given room for
these organs and their processes, but it
is reduced and contracted IN order to
make the waist appear small. In the
name of honorable labor; of healthy
and happy infancy and childhood; OF
intelligent, high-minded womanhood;
ofeverything that is beautiful and worth
having for women in this world, We
plead for the scorn, the maligned, the
condemned large waist. Give the BODY
