JUDGE ZANE must be in terrible con-
dltlon; and if what the Herald said of
him yesterday be true, he is liable to die
at any moment. When pronouncing
sentence on Pratt, Judge Zane's 'scoun-
tenance was livid, his voice trembIed with
passion, his lips twitched with the frenzy
that had taken possession of him
II this is SO, and we cannot
doubt it, as the Herald says it is. then
the health of the Chief Justice is in
great peril, in fact his very life is; in
IN truth, his symptoms are such as to the
Ola school OF medicine would indicate the
necessity OF an immediate operation for
phleootomy. Certain tits that something
should be done for his Honor, as Utah
can better afford to lose some of her two
per cent. than Judge Zane. But there is

OUR CLIMATE.

The climate of Utah has been nraisad
lar and wide, and justly praised when the
climate has been on its good behavior.
On summers day as one stands bv the
lake ne may see the islands in a mirage.
ana they seem double and their tops TO
touch. 1t is beautiful sight. although
we know that things are only SEEMINGLY
upside down, and it is we'll that it is so.
Inc climate of Utah also produces DO
lltlcal mlrages, and many who stand ON
the shore of Utah's troubled sea tbink
they behold the nation turned upside
down, when in truth it is not. That
which seems a universal upheaval is only
local mirage and will soon pass away
and in its place will come the calm and
serenity of the dying day when the blue
and the gold are most brilliant and the
earth is adorned in the beauty of the ravs
OF the setting sun which foretells of =
glorious morrow. Things will be more
quiet and peaceful after the present
storm is over, and we shall wonder how
80 me day could succeed so fierce
night. Now, we are in the
night but does any one doubt
OF the morrow which will come? If
such there be, sad must be their sopls
and their light is of the past and not Of
the future. Things are in a state of
strife and turmoil, but they will become
settled, 'and that which now seems 70
peryade all things will become precini-
tated and the sea above will be clear.
May the day when things shall be clear
and calm hasten its coming, that once
again all may be restored to natural
state.

a comforting thought comes to the mind
that maybe it was the Herald man who
was in this terrible state when Pratt was
sentenced and not the Judge. We cling
to this idea as a last hope.

1t is well known that the rusting of bright
steel goods is due 10 the precipitation of atnos/
phereic moisture upon the metal. This may
be obyiated by keeping the air surrounding

"Our Joe" is fine specimen Of the spe-
eies known as the Sulphur-crested cccka-
too.
He always showed great dread of dolls or
manikins, and this Led us TO tease him by
placing our pet Punchinello at the foot of
his perch. Fear of the uncanny thing kept
him close prisoner for some time; but one
day he came cautiously down the upright
pole, and backed jUGiciously away from the
rear of the hated monstrosity. This pro-
yOked new device; another grinning figure
was placed back OF the stand. After long
contemplation Of the situation Joe now
managed 20 escape, with much trepidation--
from one side; but gradually the entire col
lection Of manikins was placed around his
perch, 50 that they laid siege to him. At
this Joe became greatly incensed. His
crest rose and fell every minute in the day.
Ut is n curious fact that 10 never seemed to
occur to him that he might fly from the
perch. lie has never attempted to reach IL
or leave It in that way, but invariably
climbs up or down by means Of his feet and
beak.l
And nov s'Joe's" life began 10 have o
shade OF anxiety in ii, until at last he be-
stealthily descending from aloft, he dashed
suddenly into the charmed circle, and seized
Sfrs. Punch by her wonderful frilled cap.
Then, with crest erect and eyes flashing
his form trembling with rage and excite
ment,--he rushed up the pole, and, once
more safely aloft, lac tore the offending Judy
into pieces, with an energy bordering on in
sanity. This tremendous effort suiliced for
the remainder OF the day, during which he
sat upon his perch with his feathers RULED
and trembling.
So, one by one, the members OF that un-
fortunate family fell victims to his hatred.
For a long time, he did not dare TO attack
Punch himself; but lac finally mustered
courage sufficient to attempt the capture OF
