The Insidious Punch of Washing
ton.

Washington correspondence New York World
There has been great increase in
the direction of society drinking in the
last five years. There is hardly a re-
ception, afternoon or evening, where
the punch bowl is not found. Places
where there are no punch bowls are
voted slow. The punch that is made
is no child's drink, either. This is the
recipe for the standard Washington
punch: One part of sour lemonade, one
part of claret, one-half part of rum,
one-half part of the best whiskey.
This concoction is then carefully
sweetened and given additional flavor
by strong dashes of various liquors.
Sometimes champaign is substituted for
the claret. The average glass in which
this punch is served will hold as much
as teacup. This punch is iced to
perfect GOODNESS and in some places
is served from huge block OF ice,
which is cut in the shape Of bowl.
This punch is drank at receptions in
discriminatory by young and old with
out regard to sex. Warmed up by the
exercise of the dance the young people
rush to the punch bowl to satisfy their
thirst. 1 have seen young ladies drink
from two to three glasses of this punch.
How many people are there whose
general habits are temperate who can
safely drink two or three teacupfuls of |
rum and whisky and claret?

geance fell, when the end Of all things

geance fell, when the end Of all thing
came.
One day while out riding, mar
leaped from grove near where she wal
passing.
!. A wild cry left her lips. Dead OF
alive, Vernon Singleton stood before
her. Heavenly Father, what difference
did it make? Dead had he come to
haunt her--living to drag her from her
high estate?
A mocking laugh broke from the
mans lips as he caught the reins, and
then-then the horse reared, swerved,
rose on its hind legs, and Cleta lay white
and senseless on the ground.
Without look of pity, Vernon
glanced down on the marble face, and
the pallid lips now fecked with blood,
then turned and left her there till others
found her.
They carried her home, but the doc
tors verdict ended all hope. She must
die.
All, what change comes to our spirit
ct the hour of death. Then, indeed, the
eyes see clearly, and terrible fore
knowledge that fills the soul with awe
comes to us.
Knowing that it was her eath-bed,
knowing that all she had sinned for was
going from her now, she sent for Hes
ter and Guy, and told them all. The
story of her marriage with Vernon,
whom her uncle had disinherited short
ly after his wild career.
How, when all believed him dead, he
returned; and then the story of her
crime-her crime that had failed for
consciousness had come back to Vernon
when he struck the water, and the
wound was scarcely even dangerous.
Then she turned to Hester.
Hester, led that gypsy woman to
believe that Guy was the lover who
wrecked her daughters life, but it was
Vernon"
Her breath came short and labored,
and gray shadow fell over her face.
"Guy-Guy-I-I- All, God
have mercy!"
The next instant she was pleading
before the throne.
One year later Hester and Guy were
and they never speak Cletas |
name, which, if not forgotten, is not
willingly remembered, save by Hester,
whose gentle heart cannot think but
With pity of the beautiful, Sustained
woman who lies in her grave.
Vernon Singleton never came near
hem, but he sent messenger fol
ome money, which Guy gave, and then
le passed from their lives forever; then
he past was forgotten by Hester and
duy-the past darkness that had ended
n happy present, and future full of
Iope.

MATER DoLoRosA.

Because of one dear infant head
With golden hair,
To me all little heads
A halo wear;
And for one sanity face / knew
All babes are fair.
Because Of two wide, earnest eyes
OF heavenly blue,
Which looked with yearning gaze
Ny sad soul through,
All eyes now fill mine own with tears
Whate'er their hue.
Because Of little desth-marked lips,
Which once did call
Ny name in plaintive tones,
No voices fall
Upon my ears in vain appeal
From children small
Two little hands hold In my own
Long, long ago,
Now cause me as wander through
This world Of WOO,
To clasp each baby hand stretched out
In fear OF foe.
The lowest cannot plead in vain,
Iloved him 10.

The First Democratic President.

Democratic editors talk about Jefferson
and Jackson as Democratic presidents,
but those political leaders called them
selves Republicans, and it would not have
been safe to have called either one of
them Democrat to his face. The truth
is, there was no party that claimed the
name Democratic until after the admins
tration of General Jackson. The calls
for the county conventions in the State of
New York in 1886 were addressed to the
Republican electors" The State COM
mittee called convention of Republican
delegates. See Albany Argus of May
y, 1885. The leading editorial article
reads: Republican Legislative Address
We lay this document before our read
ers to-day, together with the proceedings
OF the meeting of the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature to their constitu-
ents." On the same page appears:
Address of the Republican members of
the Legislature to their Constituents.
James K. Polk was the first man who
was elected to be President of the United
States as distinctive Democrat. All
before 1874 were elected either as FEEDER
alists, Republicans or whigs.-Boston

THEIR IMPROBABLE STORIES
Are firmly believed by the more civilized

tration of this is contained in the follow

1t is reported that the people residing
about Fort Washable and Shoshone
agency are much exercised over ghost.
The excitement has communicated itself
to Lansder Several people have been to
see the spook, and all say that it is there
and no mistake. Its nightly stamping
ground is at Hot Springs. 1t comes in
the shape of an Indian of gigantic
stature, sometimes mounted on a horse
worthy of its rider, sometimes on foot,
but generally the former. 1t has been
seen by great many persons, both

and keep close to their teepees after
nightfall They explain this by saying
that before the white man made this

THE LOUD ALARUM BELLS.
J. G. Graham 81 Co.'s Establishment
and Andrews Secondhand
store Furnish Food for
the Flames.

At $50 o'clock last night the city fire
alarm pealed forth SO vigorously that
other bells joined in the chorus, and
within twenty minutes hundreds OF men,
women and children from every place
within hearing congregated on First
South, between Main and First West
streets, where clouds of smoke were issu-
ing from the row OF buildings quar-
ter of block east of the Deseret bank.
The seat of fire seemed to be in the sec
ond-hand and notion store OF A. Ii. An
drews & Co., next to the real estate Office
of Mr.. Kelsey.
In creditably short time after the
alarm the firemen were on the spot and
diligently at work to arrest the progress
of the flames and aid in saving as many
goods within as it was possible to get at
Parties standing by gave a helping hand
carrying out goods, and Mr.. Will Culmer
came near losing his life by swooning in
the paper room of Graham & Company's
while after a last armful of goods. He
was picked up and carried out in semi
conscious state. Kelsey's Office became
ignited, but steady stream of water put
out the blaze and kept the fire from the
livery stable at the west. The wind was
| favorable to the efforts of the firemen,
and they kept the blaze confined to the
starting place with but little misdirected
labor.
Mr.. Andrews had two fingers of his left
hand nearly severed by a broken pane OF
glass falling across his hand. DIR. Bene-
dict dressed the injured member, and the
unfortunate sufferer from fires was about
the streets to-day, unable to gather up
the few remnants remaining of his stock.
A review of Graham's premises this
morning shows the cellar less damaged
than was expected last night. The presses
are injured but slightly, and can be re-
paired at $3.50 expense. The type was
melted and completely ruined. Nothing
worth mentioning was rescued from
either building, although the men worked
in the sitting smoke to save the contents
farthest from the flames.
The firemen took up their return march
trifle too soon, and an overlooked mass
of smouldering paper at the rear broke
out anew into a mass of flames, which
were extinguished by the lingering crowd
of volunteers. The loss sustained is some
less than estimated last night and giver
in the morning papers. Graham & Co
claim their loss to be $1,000, with 81 zoo
insurance, net loss $1,000; Andrews
Co. loss s., 200, insurance 81 600, net loss
81 200; Tom Jennings loss on buildings
81 800, insurance $500, net loss 800
Total loss IS, 800, insurance $500; ne
loss 81. 300.

A REAL LIVE VOLCANO.
An Active Eruption i'm Progress
sixty Miles from Bishop Creek.

News reached Candelaria from Bishop
Creek yesterday that on Saturday vol
cano had burst forth in the mountains
sixty miles southwest of Bishop Creek
A party of frightened sheep herders rode
into the latter place Yesterday morning.
They were covered with dust and ashes
ana had numerous holes burned in their
clothing. They reported that on Satur-
day they were startled by an unusual
rumbling noise and trembling of the
ground. At first they mistook the noise
and rumble for thunder, but it was
quickly followed by tremendous explo-
sion, and on looking up they were APP
palled at seeing mountain not far away
belching forth column of flames and
smoke several hundred feet in hight.
The air was soon filled with fiery cinders
and hot ashes which came down upon
them in clouds.
The affrighted men Immediately drove
their sheep to place of safety and rode
to the nearest settlement with the start
ling news. Several parties have started
from Candelaria and Bishop Creek for the
scene of the eruption, which is near the
deserted town of Mammoth. The bright
pink glow observable in the southwestern
horizon the past two nights doubtless has
been caused by the eruption. Virginia

Shipment of Utah Produce.

From some of our leading produce dealers
We learn that their business at present is
pretty good. Last week on an average three
cars of potatoes were shipped every day.
The majority of the tubers sent away were
grown in Plain City. The number of bush
els per car is about 400, and the market price
for potatoes last week was 45 cents, conse-
quently the weeks business in potatoes
amounted to the sum of 1920. This week
potatoes have fallen 10 cents per bushel.
The general opinion is that trade will look
their best TO find market for the agricul-
tural products of our farmers. The crops of
all kind are abundant. The harvest is boun-
teous and fruit trees. particularly pear and
apple, are almost grooming under the load of
fruit they bear, and if a good market for
these products of the orchard and field can
only be found prosperity is assured-Ogden

THE G.. A. X. REPLY.
Some Reasons why the |'Herald's"
veteran and No Sworn Nor
mons Need Apply.

The hybrid Salt Lake Herald affects
great surprise at the fact that the q. A.
r. organization has no place in its ranks
for traitors to the nation. For every man
who takes the Mormon Endowment oath
has formally renowned his allegiance to
the nation and has become the bond
slave to a priestly, traitorous clique,
whose members trample upon the laws
and insult the flag of the Republic.
1t would seem hardly possible that d
man who had voluntarily entered the
military service of the Union and re-
ceived an honorable discharge therefrom-
could be found within the secret haunts
of Mormondom. But it must be remem-
bered that mercenary or other consldera-
tons than patriotism or hatred OF slavery
may have moved many man to enlist
in the armies of the United States.
The veteran % Johnson, who PUSHES
to the disloyal Herald to vent his spleen
against Captain T. c. Bailey and the u.
a. r., ought to know that even the secret
fraternal societies in civil life have nothing
in common with the sworn Mormon, who
has deliberately outlawed himself by
pledging himself to disloyal hierarchy.
How much more should military
organization, founded upon Loyalty
Fraternity and Charity" spurn from
its communion the apology for a man
who sells his national birthright for a
mess of priestly and polygamous pottage,
and whines through the columns of a
Mormon naper at the necessary result OF
his own deliberate but disgraceful act.
Over the entrance of every faithful G.
A. r. Post may rightfully be inscribed
''No sworn Mormon can enter here"

4 Bold Break From the Pen.

John Watren and i Walters, prisoners
confined in the Utah Penitentiary, made
q bold dash for liberty last evening, and
Watren succeeded in getting away and is
still eluding the guards. 1t seems that
Watren and Walters have been working
in the field south of the Penitentiary with
several other prisoners for some time
past, and doubtless have been waiting for
a chance to get away at the first relaxa
ton of vigilance by the guards. Having
occasion to work at the farther end of the
field from where the guard was stationed,
they both made dash for some willows
that line the creek, and Walters, being
the slower runner, was distanced by his
companion, and was soon recaptured by
the officers. The escaped prisoner, Wat
rem, was serving out four years SEN
tence for obstructing the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad, and is hardened
offender Marshal Ireland has offered a
reward OF $25 for his capture.

LIBERTY UNDER THE LAW"
Am Interview at Ogden With Gem
eral Albert Pike.

Our reporter, dropping into the hall OF
the Broom Hotel this afternoon, says the
Ogden Ne,cs of yesterday, noticed an
elderly gentleman of commanding aP-
pearance, whose gray hairs lent to MS
time-furrowed forehead an air OF venera-
bility that is not generally found WITHIN
the precincts of hotel Office. Upon an
introduction by Major M. H. Beardsley,
our reporter had the pleasure OF brief
chat with General Albert Pike, who is
one of the most prominent figures in the
notable array of Masonry, having been a
member of the Trowel fraternity since
1850. and Grand Commander OF the
Thirty-third Degree OF the Scottish Kite
for the Southern Jurisdiction OF the
United States since 1859.
The venerable-looking gentleman,
whose white, flowing beard and snowy
locks told of the touch of the rs winters
that have blown over his well-bullt, clear
forehead, keen-eyed head, was passing
his time away with reading some light
literature, to relieve his mind and pass
his time He arrived last evening, with
MIR. Ireland, an old friend. General
Pike is bound for the North, intending, to
90 to Butte tomorrow, en- route Tor the
Yellowstone country, whence they Will
return eastward in few weeks, to return
to Washington, D. c.. the Generals
headquarters, where he has several
grown-up children.
In conversation with our scribe, the
venerable veteran expressed hlmsel1 as
we'll pleased with the aspect OF this
western country, which had greatly i'm
proved since his transcontinental trip, IN
1876. AS he is out here merely for his
health and the recuperation Of his
strength, on which long life OF Legal
labor has made no perceptible inroads
the General was somewhat indisposed to
talk politics, although his conviction is
| that the laws of the United States under
the Constitution must, and will be up
held; and that Utah will yet be {
political part, not only a geographical
parcel ofthe land of Washington, Lincoln
and Grant.
As to the United States Administers
ton, General Pike expressed himself
old Democrat as he is-in terms OF ap
probation of Grover Cleveland's con
duct, in which he sees an easy, steady
course of Federal arrangements, an AID
ministration for the greatest good to tht
greatest number concerned. With regard
to the Mormon problem, Mr.. Pike feel
as all other sensible men: 1.-The soone
it is settled the better" Liberty undo
the law is his motto.

KNOCKED DOWN AND ROBBED.
william CIays ssHeld Up'' i'm the
seventh Ward Last Night and
Relieved of $50.

About half past u o'clock last night
Mr.. William Clays, living in the Seventh
ward, left town for his home. When on
Fifth South street, between Main and
West Temple, some unknown man
stepped out from behind tree and dealt
him terrific blow over the head and
face with a tug or strap, the buckle or
cockeye of which cut deep cash down
his nose three-quarters of an inch in
length. The robber then riied his
pockets of between $25 and $50, and left
him lying insensible, when he was dis
covered and taken home by some passers-
by about O'Clock this morning.
No clue to the highwayman has yet
been obtained, although the city officials
are in search. Dr. Hamilton dressed the
wound, and Bill is able to be about the
streets, and says he is still in the ring
though slightly disfigured.
