cuRIosITIEs IN THE MUSEUM.
Fare and Interesting Relies of Utah
and ElseNvhere-TaIk of n
New Building.

In going the rounds to-day the Demo-
Graf reporter dropped into the Deseret
Museum and took in the curiosties Of
that institution The gentlemanly
curator, Prof. Il. II. Ford, took special
pains to show the reporter the contents
of the museum, and in crisp and
pointed manner, while giving information
concerning the wonders of which he has
charge, gave many Of his ideas on the
situation OF the Utah problem. He com
plimented the course of the DEMOCRAT, and
said it was working for a result on
American principles and ideas. The pro-
lessor thought the policy of the paper
was in consonance with the demands Of
the situation, and hoped in the future, as
in the past, that the DEMOCRAT would
avoid the ultra-radical policy and methods
persued and advocated by the Tribune.
But to return TO the Museum, which is
crowded full of rare and interesting
things. There is an apron once worn by
padded by the famous Kit Carson is in
was found in Utah Lake. There is tat
tered stars and stripes flag, the first ever
hoisted on Utah soil. Another flag, on
which is painted beehive and bear,
and carried by a company Of men that
acted as Brigham Young's body guard,
hangs around pillar in the same room.
There are scores of other relics of early
times in Utah, and birds, beasts
and Indian curiosities. Some things
that have become antique OH account of
extreme age are found in the Museum.
There are several works OF art-sculpture,
paintings, and ric-a-bric-which brings
one face to face with Socrates, Napoleon,
Washington, Webster, Clay, and others
of fame, long since dead and decayed.
1t would be impossible to mention the
whole catalogue which, to be sure, is not
enormously extensive, but which, never
theless, is n rare and valuable collec-
ton, the interest of which centres
mostly in the historical relics of the
Mormon people and the early
settlement of this Territory. As years
roll by their value and interest will in
crease. and to the generations to come
will be precious souvenirs OF the past and
teach them lessons that else could not be
learned. Since Prof. Ford was installed
as the curator of the institution he has
by untiring industry and energy done
much to make the place more attractive
The rooms have been thoroughly cleaned,
the specimens rearranged, and the build
ing painted. BY the Professors ingenuity
a water tank has been constructed, with
hose attached, for sprinkling purposes.
Mr.. Ford says that plans are being con-
sidered for erecting suitable building in
a conspicuous place in tho city. This
will be an excellent and most proper
thing to do if accomplished. This insti-
tuition should have long ago been made a
more prominent public place, and we sim
cerely hope that the company owning it
will soon take the necessary steps to put
it where il belongs.

The Jockey and the PRINCE.

There is a truly British paragraph in the
World touching Archer's refusal TO accent
"a retainer" from the Prince of Wales.
Bras de Fer" believes that his ROYAL
highness fully understood and apprecia-
ted Archer's conduct" and he thinks
1.-THE racing public generally will do the
same" What on earth do the tracing
public" care about the matter? But as
TO the Prince OF Wales, this is the first of
the numerous Notifying adventures
which he will probably encounter in his
new character as an owner of lace horses
Being accustomed to find his wishes re-
garded us commands, it must have been
rather startling for him to have his over
ture rejected, and his royal highness will
begin to appreciate the force of Lord
George Bentick's remark that "all men
are equal on the turf or under it,"
The prince was ill-advised in Offering a
retainer to Archer, as it was out ,i all
reason to suppose that he would pay the
sort OF sum which that jockey is now ac-
customed to receive, and Archer would
scarcely bind himself to ride for an owner
whose stud will be very small, and whose
horses will run only at crack meetinpg
Archer is quite right in his own interest
not to accept retainers from anybody. as
he can now command his own terms.
and IS put on" in a single race quite as
much AS the great jockeys of old DAYS
We're accustomed TO make in n dozen
years.-London Truth.

Artistic japanese Goods.

C.G, Littlefeld, representing Japanese
art manufactures, is at the Walker House.
A reporter this afternoon stepped into the
sample rooms at the hotel and cast his
optics over the multiplicity of things
Japanese that were there spread out before
his view. They consist OF vases of every
description, made of metal and bronze,
china-ware, silks, etc. The samples that
Mr. Littlefeld carries are bewlderingly
beautiful, elegant and costly. A lady's
wrapper took the reporters eye and made
him calculate how long he would be n
single man il he would purchase such
an one and present to any one of
the fair sex, for the lady that
would not consent for such n
garment is incorrigible and deserves to
be an old maid.
The firm Mr.. l.. represents has two
places OF business, one in San Francisco,
me other in Chicago. Japs are imported
from Japan 10 make things to order ON
short notice, and to suit the notions and
capriees OF fastidious customers. The
San Francisco house is known as the
lchl Ban, which means "One Number
or Number One.

ENDED LIFE WITH A RAZOR.
A Tenth ward Englishmnn Prefers
That Method of Departure 20
Escape the Rheumatisrs.

An elderly Englishman by the name OF
Abbott, living in the Tenth ward, and a
gardener by vocation, having come to the
conclusion TO fly to troubles he knew not
of, this morning made successful at
tempt to end the sings and arrows OF
outraged fortune on this mortal coil by
cutting his throat with razor The rash
act was done while his wife was gone to
the butchers to get breakfast steak.
On her return home she found
her husband on his knees in q
small back room with grping cash in his
throat and the glare of death in his eyes,
the bloody blade reeking with his hot life
fluid being still i'm his hand.
Frightened and screaming, Mrs.
Abbott alarmed the neighborhood.
People rushed to the house to see
the dying man, who, in his despair
and desire that his horrible work
should not be ineffective, implored the
visitors to trample on him 50 that his
blood would flow more readily, and thus
assist him out of his misery.
He gave as the cause of his suicide
that for years he had been an acute suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and that he
wanted to get out OF his misery.

The Troubadours Last Night.

A good audience greeted Salsbury's
Troubadours in their final performance
last evening. "Tom, Dick and Harry" is
a clever burlesque on the recent innova-
ton OF the Lyceum School OF Acting, and
the studied attitudes, poses and gesticula-
tons, including the gags on the Delsar-
tan method, afford Salisbury and Nell
lie McHenry just the opportunities
such clever artists need The piece
is light, bright and sparkling, and
of course Nellie McHenry is the
star OF it. Like Rhine wine, she grows
better and richer as she grows older, and
her acting and singing have all of Aimee's
archness and vivacity, without Aimee's
French suggestiveness. Bubbling over
with contagious hilarity, the auditors i'm
mediately catch it, and last night, if it
was "a sad night for Shakespeare, }"
proved exactly the reverse for all present.
''Tom, Dick and Harry" is such funny
piece of satire, that we regard it as the
strongest piece of the Troubadours.

An Intelligent Fox,

One OF the stalkers in the deer-forest
here, writes correspondent from Scotland
to the 81. James gazette, has Young fox
which he caught when quite a cub and
which he keeps chained to kennel near
his cottage. The other day he gave the
creature dead crow, thinking lie might
like the amusement OF eating It but rev
nard, after careful consideration, thought
the birds condition rather called for n
decent burial, and, therefore, he dug with
his iorepaws large enough hole in front
OF his kennel, and when finished, put the
bird into it, laying it or it's back with its
claws in the air. The stalker (who was
watching the animal) saw him then
scrape the loose earth ovei the bird 40 as
to quite cover its body; but the legs still
stuck up in the air. These legs seemed
annoy him a great deal, and he tried To-
press them down with his nose. FAILING
IN this, and after evidently turning the
matter over in his mind, he bit The Ices
oil, laid them flat beside the bird and
then covered everything over with earth
think this is about as intelligent a piece
OF reasoning az have ever heard of In an
animal ~ "''

vignaux' Remarkable Billiard Shot.

Before Maurice Vignaux left New York
for Chicago he offered to betthat he would
make the biggest run in the balk line
tournament, which begins Nov. 10th. AT
Sections rooms he executed "a Jump"
shot which Sexton says excelled anything
in that line he ever saw on a billiard table.
The object balls were in straight line
and foot apart and in the center of the
table. The cue ball was also in straight
line, foot and a half distant from the
first object ball. He raised his cue, and
struck the cue ball smart half-masse
stroke. Itjumped from the table, touched
the top OF the red object ball and glided
to the white. The moment it collided
with the latter it darted again to the
lower cushion. Vignaux explained that
it was a little idea of his own, and said
nobody else could do it.
