The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader has been interviewing
Mr.. Bingham, recently United States
minister to Japan. Mr.. Bingham made
the following interesting remarks
"Japan is advancing very rapidly in civ.
ilizalion, The telephone and electric
light are being pushed forward. The
railroads have increased from eighteen
miles to 300 miles in ten years: the coun.
try has 5000 miles of inland telegraph
and two great ocean cables. The postal
service of Japan has been organized
within the past ten years. and now they
have nearly as many postoffices as the
United States. Their postal system is
as well organized and equipped as ours.
Japan has free press, and there are five
daily and weekly papers published in
English there, beside large number OF
Japanese papers. AS to schools, 5000
japanese children attend free schools,
and it is crime to prevent children be.
tween seven and thirteen years from at.
tending school. English is taught in the
schools, too, and the japanese are using
an alphabet to great extent, and they
are gradually adopting the Roman letters
to their language. The mikado," said
Minister Bingham, "is a marvel of in
telligence and liberality. He comes
from family which hac ruled Japan
1900 years, and has been seventeen years
emperor. He has great administrative
ability, and is one of the greatest men
Of our time"

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Protecting Stacks.

Few farmers where grain or hay
ere largely grown have barn room
enough to properly store all their pro-
duce. Stacking is necessary, and with
even the best made stacks some loss is
inevitable. For grain-stacks cover
ing of oil cloth, easily put on and
easily taken off, is the cheapest pro-
lection. But oilcloth cracks in cold
weather, and stacks of hay are best
protected by covering of boards ex-
tending clapboard fashion from the top
down to the bulge on the sides. The
boards are fastened by wires. Seven
or eight feet in width Of board will
protect stack nearly as well as a
barn. The boards, with care in handl-
Ing, may be used for a number of
years.

Knees it is not to amuSe themselves,

A romantic marriage occurred last
Monday night about 8 o'clock in front
of the residence of Justice John Nc
Cam on Green street, between Ninth
and Tenth. George a. ElkiDs and
Mollie Stewart, a runaway couple,
hailing from Henry county, Kentucky,
shouted loud "IIello !" several times
to attract the attention of the magis-
trate, who came out to the street with
a lantern, and asked to know what
was wanted.
The young gentleman and young
lady were both seated on the same
horse, and were drenched with the
rain, which had been falling for sever
al hours. Elkins said that they wanted
to lie rarried at once, and that the
ceremony would have to lie hurried, as
the father and the brothers of the
young lady were in pursuit Of them.
The Justice asked the couple to show
their license, which was done, and
then invited them to come into the
house, where the ceremony could be
performed. This the couple refused,
on the ground of not having sufficient
time, and asked, instead, 10 be married
then and there on horseback.
The Squire consented after some
hesitation, and called TO Col. VIM.
Hardin, who happened to be passing
at the time, TO hold an umbrella over
the heads of the two while the service
could be performed. The ceremony
was brief, and at the conclusion of it
the groom remunerated the services
Of the Squire with liberal sum,
when the couple rode away. The
bride was young and very pretty,
while the husband looked like pros.

Fashion Notes,


Black toilets are trimmed with lead
beads.
Beads and pins of dead gold have
superseded brilliant ones.
Cashmere colors in beads arc fe,
ture of the new trimmings.
"Donkey's ears are now "begonio
leaves in millinery parlance.
Embroidered cloth bonnets are worn
to match embroidered costumes.
Short nantes and visites with
sleeves will be the dressy wraps for
Winter.
Crabs, oysters, grasshoppers, beetles
and spiders are the latest realistic
brooches.
Black, which is much favored in
Paris at present, makes the most use
full color for all toilets.
Among the novelties in laces are
shown many attractive patterns iD
mohair and Llama wool.
Polonaise draped in many ways will
be very pretty if made of the new
striped fabrics just brought out.
The more dressy illusion wells have
loops of small beads or Of tinsel
threads set in them at wide intervals.
Wool laces in piece lace and in seal
loped edges are used for combination
wraps, both for short nantes of lno
wool and for long cloaks.
Plush and velvet are made into
round hats, being placed smooth and
plain around the frame, with closely,
clipped velvet for the top of the crown
Striped or checked materials are
frequently combined with plain cash
mere or merino for walking costumes,
but p!aids are quite gone out Of
fashion.
Bead trimmings carry off the palm
in regard to variety as well as num-
bers, and there are many designs so
intricate as to be impossible of de.
scription.
Seal, astrakhan and Persian lamb
waistcoa!s, cuffs, and high collars are
seen on many handsomely braided
cloth jackets, the cloth in any shade
of fashionable cloth preferred.
Red is the popular color for cloth
jackets, redingotes, and long wraps
when tailor made, but it must be a
dull shade of red and trimmed With
cord, braid, big buttons and fur.
There is noticeable absence OF
buttons on all of the newer Paris
dresses, and many of the fronts have a
fold of silk or lace down the middle,
or a SHRED jabot confded by ribbons.
Dull red cloth redingotcs, very long
and with no loops, only pleatings
down in the back, are made Just like a
mans long coat, slashed from the bot
tom to the waist like, or rather to the
turn of the tournure.
Winter mantles are either very short
or very long. The short ones are des-
tined to be worn with very elegant
toilettes-to appear in drawing-rooms
and not in the streets Those for
walking are of rich material and very
tastefully ornalnented.
Woollen is so much more fashion
able for dressy toilets than silk that
milliners are making their most ele-
CANT confections of fine cloth, en-
broidered and beaded IN the most ar
tistic manner, gold thread forming a
judiciOus and tasteful part of the do
coratiye effects.

HDare to be a Daniel"

The Neacs of last evening, in speaking
of the Democratic meeting in Ogden on
Wednesday, says that Mr.. Bruce A. B.
Taylor got Daniel, polygamy, Mormonism
and other things very much mixed up.
Not at all. Mr. Taylor, in speaking of
the evasive mannerin which all men had
been charged with polygamy, answered
the charge, quoting from Daniel, VI, 10
which is in the following language:
''Now, when Daniel knew that the writ
ing was signed, he went into his house /;
and his windows being open in his cham
Der towards Jerusalem, he kneeled upon
his knees three times day, and prayed,
and gave thanks before his God, as he did
aforetime."
Daniel did this in the face of the decree
mentioned in the same chapter, V. 4. Mr..
TAYLOR very significantly asked: "Show
me your Daniel here, will you% Now,
Mr.. Local Editor, bring on your Daniels.
We fear that he is like the little boy
who cried when he saw Daniel in the
lions den, and he was asked by his
mother why he cried, as he must know
Daniel was saved. 81 amt crying for
Daniel, but for the little lion in the corner,
cause he won't get away of paniel." !"
The local editor, it is needless to say, is a
little lion, but cries for himself.

The "Tribune" and Its Wit.

That the Tribune is an excellent paper,
one of the best, if not the very best, be-
tween the Garden City and the Golden
Gate, the unprejudiced may admit. With
its bonanza Mackey, its double team of
editors schooled in their calling West and
East, both able, and one both able and
brilliant, why should it not take high
rank? To be sure its manager has a
difficult part to play in asserting and
maintaining his Democracy and manag-
ing journal whose claim to independ-
ence in politics can scarcely be allowed,
indeed, whose Republican character a
glance at its files will establish beyond
question.
No one objects to this. The weakness is
in claiming to be otherwise. 1t may not
always have been exactly fair in its criti-
cism of the opposite party, but that is
pardonable in political warfare. But
while admitting the Tribune'S talent,
we are here to question and condemn its
wit (?) The refined and cultivated
relish wit, and will even tolerate its
being little spas CONNIE IL faut," but
vulgarity is not wit, and we submit if
the short editorial in this mornings TIL
6une is not better suited to the
columns of the Days DOings, than a re-
spectacle journal. When we remember
the tinge of many Of the Tribune's lead
ers, indicating as they do, poetic vein
in the writer, with, of course, its ever ac-
companying innate delicacy and refine
ment, we claim the right to be surprised
Surprised, that Mr.. Cleveland's rever-
ence for the Bible, which. his good mother
gave her boy, when he went out into the
world to fight his way, and, as the sequel
shows, win the foremost place known
to mankind, should be made
the subject for attempted ridicule. Sur
prised, that it should be made stepping
stone for questionable 1--WE will not say
dirty) allusion to the buried filth OF the
late campaign. 1t may be wit, it may be
funny, but we doubt if virtuous and low
ing mothers, or any true, brave, honor
able, aye chivalric man, such as the pos
sible writer is known to be, will think it so.

Railroad Movements.

New YORK, March 6.-Leland STAN
ford, president of the Central Pacific
Railroad, has officially announced the
consolidation of the trans-continental in
terest. Hereafter the Southern Pacific
railroads of California, Arizona and New
Mexico, the Galveston, Harrisburg and
San Antonia, the Louisville, Western
Texas and New Orleans, and Morgan's
and Louisiana railway and steamship
lines, will be operated under one general
organization.
The Texas and Pacific, and Missouri,
Kansas and Texas system of roads, will
form a northern outlet, although not in
cluded in the combination. Railroad
men say that the Huntington-Stanford
consolidation scheme will ultimately be
perfected by the operation of the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific railroads as
one continuous line.
The part that Jay Gould will take in
this arrangement is not known. Mr..
Gould's business associates say he has
parted with all of his investment in
Union Pacific stock, and is carrying only
small speculative interest. Mr.. Gould
and Mr.. Page have avowed their inten-
ton of retiring from the Union Pacific
directory.

The Higher Appeal.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's inaugural is an
appeal to the best principles of citizen
ship. He does not feed national vanity
by enlarging upon our own glories or dis
paraging the conduct of other nations; he
does not quote the well known errors of
the party which strove to prevent his
election, nor land the party which sus-
tanned him the troubles OF one locality
are not set against the loyalty of other
sections; the rich are not arrayed in an
tagonism to the poor, nor is the laborer
pitted against the employer. There is
not a suggestion out of which jealousy,
hatred or contention can grow.
His appeal is first of all to patriotism,
and next to the individual conscience of
the voter. 1t is high appeal; for, under
all that prejudice and false teaching bur-
den the understanding with, there is in
the heart of every citizen of the United
States foundation of loyalty and good
conscience.
The Presidents ''higher appeal, there
fore, has the whole land for an audience.
Every citizen ought to respond, and be in
consequence better citizen. He ought
to examine every public issue in the light
of loyalty and good conscience, rather
than under the inspiration of church or
party prejudice. He should take counsel
of his understanding; he should read
more and think more; he should be less
of the partisan and more of the citizen.
The new administration and the old
party are on trial; the whole country is
the jury and every citizen juror on his
honor. Partisan newspapers have a
splendid chance to foreshadow and work
up an adverse judgment; they can hold
the executive responsible for the acts of
Congress, and give to Congress the credit
that belongs to the Executive. They can
make moderation appear akin to coward
ice, and justice appear to be weakness
and indecision. They can excite dis
obedience to law and charge the govern
ment with inefficiency. The Senate can
play the role of obstructionists The ap-
peal.to the best impulses may be over
ruled by the lower; but the President has
set his mark high, and it is not the fault
of the foundation he has laid if the struc-
ture thereon shall not be work of fin
ished craftsmanship.

Death from Fright.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 6.-Yester-
day, when DR.. Goersen was hanged, two
convicts confined in the prison were ter
ribly affected by the knowledge of what
was going on. Joseph Barrett, 55 years
old, confined in cell near the gallows,
showed intense interest in the hanging
but information was denied him. His
cell was sealed during the execution, but
Barrett must have heard the footsteps Of
the solemn procession on its way to the
gallows. When his cell was opened he
was found dead Death is attributed to
fright.
The other man, Joseph Taylor, under
sentence of murder, became delirious
with fear. He heard the noise as he sat
in his cell. The echo of the falling doors
had hardly died away when the murderer
was found writhing in convulsions.
