RUMORS OF WAR.

Late advices from Vienna tell pontedly
OF coming trouble between the White
Eagle and Russias double-headed mon
strosty in the near future. No one OF the
powers on the continent ever rendered
the "balance OF power" more necessary
by her covert pretensions than has Rus
sia, and now no country of them all is 80
little contented to abide by their ruling.
Russia is again reaching out for inroads
on the northern Turkish border, and the
latter unhappy country, with her recent
Grecian experience, and her general hui
initiation all along the line by other
powers, is now in her weakest condi-
ton, and fit subject for the heartless
Russ TO attack. The recent utterances
OF the Austrian Council, however, as
given in their organ at Vienna, will
doubtless have salutary effect on the
overweening ambition OF the Car and
cause him to look well to his girth before
he jumps at war. The Austrian ex-
chequer and fighting forces were never
in better condition for war than now,
and smouldering deeply is that hatred
so potent in all wars, which, Ii
allowed to burst its bounds, would result
in depopulating the garden spot oi
Russia, from Odessa 10 Moscow. The
German Chancellor, as usual, will have
something to say, and through his astute
reasoning, Alexander II, may be per-
suaded to forego his suicidal attempt at
war, and avert the threatened calamity.
The i'll wind that blew these powers to
war, would blow good to our country, in
that we should have a Tree market at ad-
vanced rates for all we could produce, SO
that, aside from the humanitarian prin.
ciple involved, it would be grand hap
pening for the American people.

FLAPDOODLE.

For genuine aapdoodle, with very
big flap, commend US to the Ogden
Herald. In It's last evenings issue it
winds up an ungrammatical, false and ab-
surd diatribe against the anti Mormon
press, rs follows:
"a majority of the Gentle residents of
Utah away down in their hearts disapproye
of the policy of political robbery advocated
by Baskin and his superiors, but they dare
not protest against il or even speak their
own minds freely, because of the un-
scrnpulous bulldozing rapier of coercion
and intimidation suspended over their heads
by the anti-Mormon leaders and often
brought down upon them by the scorpion
lash of the anti-Mormon press"
Just how man who is SO far removed
from Gentiles and Gentle influences, as
is the writer OF the foregoing, can tell
what is away down in their hearts, it is
difficult to see. This constant allusion to
the Gentle heart and its supposed con-
tents, proves that the animated buffalo
chip in control OF the columns oi the
Herald, knows as much Of the subject in
this case, rs he does OF the subtleties OF
the diiierential calculus, or, rather, of
most subjects he undertakes to handle.

The San Francisco Aha- California

Aha has followed us closely, it has doubt.
less concluded that we talk with torment
ing truthfulness on all other subjects as
well. In this case, however, We are not
hampered with that poetically beautiful
thing called distance, Tor We have it right
here among US, We see its innate nasti-
ness when the sun rises and sets, when
the seasons change, and when the affairs
OF everyday lie call us here and there,
and we cannot but despise the men who
are responsible for it. We are pleased 10
say that the Alta talks in the same strain
ON the curse OF Chinese immigration, and
the Pacific Coast is now in course Of de-
livery IRON il. We talk of the Mormon
curse from similar motives, and know
our people will have similar results.

THE MAXWELL CASE.

From the day OF the discovery of
Preller's putrid remains in trunk in the
Southern Hotel at ST. Louis, up TO the
present hour, certain halo OF mystery
has hedged the case about, which the
lively local press OF that city have sue
oeeded in deepening, until it is now well
nigh impenetrable. When Maxwell, as
he called himself, but who proved to he
Brooks, returned in charge OF the officer
from Australia, SO great was the excite
ment III st. Louis that this vagabond
and betrayer OF his friend was ieted and
feasted in his cell until the spectacle
became nauseous and the authorities
were compelled to check it. GOOD ladies,
but with maudlin sentimentality, strewed
flowers about his prison, and loaded his
table with all the delicacies known to the
culinary art. Amy newspaper man who
had been known 10 interview him
straightway became lion, and it is but
Just 10 the profession to say that they
reaped the full benefit of this little snap
ior all il was worth, to man. During
all these days, so highly tickled was
his vanity, Maxwell Brooks would
not talk to the press, and the case looked
desperate. Suddenly he decided to give
full and accurate description OF the

TARDY JUSTICE.

The travelling American citizen has had
the blush OF shame called TO his cheek
by the covert allusions TO the widespread
rottenness OF certain arms Of the Ameri'
can courts, which foreigners delight to
make for his benefit and ii is Il sad com
mentary upon our judicial system, that |
in many cases the foreigner is right. De- |
casionally, however, there crops ont q |
man 80 grand in his personal wortl, 80
pure in his manhood, that he carries the |
courage OF his convictions into
his judicial work. and all the
legal acumen of the ablcst, as
well as all the chicanery of the
smaller fry at the bar, is as nothing to
his sense OF honor and duty, and then
the people reap the reward in seeing
righteous punishment meted out to
scoundrels and the majesty oi the law
indicated. This was pre-eminently the
case with the coarse and brutal ruflian
Most in New York yesterday, when, after
all the united efforts OF able counsel had
failed, the rulings and charge oil the
court left the plain duty OF conviction on
the shoulders OF the jury. Nothing proves
this man Most's utter ignorance OF the
American people more than his craven
attempt TO procure sympathy, even in
court for his accursed teachings, and per
contra, nothing proves the real backbone
OF an honorable juror more than that in
this case they promptly found him guilty.
There is n colony OF German, Sclavonic
and Austrian men in New York City,
who have amassed wealth through deal
ings with their poorer compatriots, and
who do not scruple Mt any measure to
influence the minds of their dupcs, in
order that personal gain may follow, and
to this class Most appealed for help.
They gave it plentifully; but for once,
and to the credit OF that jury be it said,
it availed him nothing. He will receive
sentence OF one year in Sing Sing PEN
itentiary for his dastardly conduct, and
all the country will breathe ireer when
all of his kidney shall have been sent
over similar road.
Tho press OF the country, III an on
tirety, has for the past two years been
filed with notes Of warning concerning
all such miscreants, and though the pun
shment comes tarty, it gives token OF {
better state OF things for the future. We
sometimes sneer at the contractivc and
expansive nature of the word liberty, n
the will of monarchical governments
but we know, as people, that when thit
monster of Anarchy showed its heat
among them, it was promptly decapi
tated. 1t is lesson our Government
well might learn with untold profit

the long straw for first chance was happy
He was given thirty minutes, and the

morning the daily press OF st. Louis con-
tanned six reports OF the Maxwell case,
and but for his name no ordinary
reader could tell they were on
the same subject. He had used
the low,cunning which dominates him
in all he has done, and lied to each re-
porter in turn, believing 1t would be a
smart trick. From that hour his flowers
and fricasscc chicken vanished, he lost
the good will even OF his iailers, and
when the monotony OF real life began to
tell ON him, his true character came out.
lie lied TO his counsel and the few who
would befriend him, and would have lied
to the officers, but they would not be-
licvc him. The sequel at the trial now
in progress proves his character. He
acknowledges killing the friend who
helped him, while to those who would
have beiriended him he said Preller
would turn up soon, and that it was
all joke. lie cuts such sorry figure
now, in the eyes OF the people OF st.
Louis, that the severity OF the law will be
kindness to him, compared to what
would happen to him in case oi its mis-
carriage. 1t is another brand to the
beacon, which warns people from slobber
ing over criminals, thereby exaltine
crime, and causing the growing genera
ton to doubt ii the straight and narrow
path be the true one.

MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISEMENTS

A young man at Gregory induced an East
ern girl who had never seen him to como
West for the purpose of becoming his wife;
but on arriving last week she looked him
over, boarded the train, and went homo
again.-Butte Inter Mountain.
This is hard on the Eastera girl, but
much more so on Gregory. What allied
the youth at Gregory? Can it be that
the salubrious climate OF that enchanting
place can so transform n young man as
to cause his girl to give him the supreme
shake? We do not believe it. 1t Is in-
digenous TO the soil OF fair Montana. In
a country where half mans legs are
turned down for him to walk on,
and where his teeth-cutter is a last
years cob OF corn, much personal
beauty cannot be expected; then, where
the aptitude OF the love-stricken swain is
to stand on his head to give vent to his
feelings, n young Eastern girl, fresh from
the seminary, is likely to be surprised.
Ii the youth from Gregory turned a flip
flap on the depot platform when he saw
his lady love, and she ever noted his
spur heels and toggle jointed feet, it is no
wonder she broke for the car and home,
or ii she saw him scratch his dexter shin
with his right hand without bending his
back, which is Montana accomplish
ment, she probably took him for
the lost Geronimo and skipped out I;
but it is more than probable that
she found the fruit OF her
senseless and unmaidenly clandestire
correspondence, begun through the
medium OF questionable so-called family
papers, to be Dead Sea fruit, turning to
ashes on her lips-that she was deceived
rs thousands have been before her, and
went home sadder and wiser girl
The country west OF the Missouri river is
dotted with homes, apparently happy,
which TO the close observer are known to
be but whited sepulchres, and all be-
cause correspondence, begun in inno-
cent amusement, has led to marriages,
than which the torments OF Hades would
be preferable TO tho unfortunate ones
who contracted them. 4 proper surveil-
lance by mothers over tho correspond
ence OF their daughters, would tend to
destroy this one OF the latest and worst
enemies OF maiden simplicity and trust.

Survival of the Fittest,

For some time past the question Of
purity in baking powders has formed
! quite a feature of newspaper discus
siOns, and eminent doctors of philoso-
| ply have given opinions as to the in
gradients which compose many of the
articles sold under that name. The in
vestigations have narrowed down to the
limit which awards the Royal Baking
Powder the palm of purity, and several
of the most distinguished scientists have
testified to their conviction that no exc
traneous or deleterious matter enters
into its composition. The Royal Bak-
ing Powder Company have achieved a
worldwide reputation for the success
which has marked their preparation OF
cream of tartar for baking purposes. 1t
is indisputably shown that they have
eliminated all elements of t2rtrate of
lime, alum or other impurities. and pre-
sent to the public a healthful and
chemically pure article. Such widely
known chemists as Henry Morton, E, G,
Love, II. A. Mott, VIM. McMurtrie and
others have verifiedits superiority over
other manufactures, and testified,
through practical experience, to its ex-
cellence. 1t is well for families to OBJ
serve the fact that it costs more TO man
ufacture the Royal Baking Powder
than any other, but is, as shown by
chemical analysis, the one absolutely

Hints on Health in Harvest,


The modification of harvest work,
effected by the introduction of
horse power machinery, has rel1ev-
ed the harvest season of much of
the danger to health which it was
once subject tic; but the exhaus-
tive heat and sudden showers that
so frequently mark the harvest
month, as well as the seeming ne
cessity to extend the days work be-
yond reasonable hours, which fire.
quently occurs, afford temptations
30 an unWarranted risk of health
While we congratulate the present
generation on the relief from the
heavy harvest labor of the last,
we must also thank them for sever
al important improvements in the
habits of labor. The harvest hands
of our boyhood days went into the
field shortly after sunrise, and
plyed the sickle or swung the
scythe for about two hours before
breakfast, and when they returned
to that meal they were thoughly
wet with dew. Heavy labor before
the morning meal is a risk of health
at all times, bnt doubly so with
the Imprudent exposure to the dew,
with no opportunity to change
clothing. In the long days of June
or July, from Z to IL o'clock n. M,
and from TO g. o'clock p. M.
with half hours rest at o'clock
may be regarded as the extreme of
harvest days work, consistent
with a due regard to health. At
the noon day rest, if the clothes
are wet with perspiration, light

vent too rapid cooling from evapo-
ration. producing chilliness; and ex-
nosure to u draft of air must be
carefully avoided. The face, hands
and arms should be bathed with
water not colder than 60 degrees
and directly dried with rough
towel toexcite healthy action in
the skin. before the midday meal.
When the days work is done the
wet and soiled clothes should be
replaced by dry night suit; and if
convenient, a bath, or at least
spouging of the body should pre-
cede the change of clothing, BY 3
O'Clock the tired laborer should re-
tire to a firm mattress in a well-ven-
tilated room, avoiding, however
direct draft OF air between two open
windows. Let the laboror bear in
mind that sleep is the only true re-

DON'T.
BY sENEx.

Indiana Farmer.
Don't attend to other people,
business until after you have at
tended to all your own.
Don't be very inquisitive about
your neighbours affairs
Don't spit on the carpet and
then rub it in with your foot.
Don't treat old people with dis
respect because they look decrepit,
are slow and clumsy and perhaps
childish. You may be old yourself
some day and need the aid and
sympathy of the young.
Don't be disrespectful to your pa
rents even though they may have
done many wrong acts.
Don't receive favors and acts OF
kindness from others without ex-
pressing thanks.
Don't go into a church with a
uuid of tobacco in your mouth and
then be spewing its filthy saliva on
the floor.
Don't visit saloons and thus
squander your time and money,
beggar your morals and pave the
way for your future ruin.
Don't plant a crop and expect
Providence to cultivate it. Prayer
and wet powder never send any
bullets.
Don't tramp your stalk fields in
wet weather so that the life is
tramped out of them. Better cut up
your corn or buy feed.
Don't suffer your axes, saws and
other tools TO become too dull for
easy and profitable use, 1t pays
well TO keep them all sharp.

storer of the wasted energies, of a
living body. Let no temptation
therefore decoy him to waste the
hours of sleep.
On the matter of diet, health at
all times largely depends, but es-
pecially in the laborious days of the
heated term. The first general
rule is to avoid all heat producing
forms of food, such as fat meats
and heavy syrup. The old habit of
eating largely of bacon in harvest
was most irrational one. Fats
are heat producers, and the less we
have Of them in harvest the better.
Even butter should be used spar
ingly. Let the bill of fare consist
largely Of fresh vegetables and ripe
fruits, with liberal supply of lean
meats, mutton, fowl or beef. If a
person is .heated he should cool
before eating, and if they are ia
tigued they should rest before tax
ing the stomach with the task
digesting food. In diet drink, the
extremes Of temperature should be
avoided. If tea or coffee be taken
it should never be so hot that the
cup-cannOt be comfortably held in
the hand. On the other hand ice
water should be scrupulously avoid
ed. Perhaps more stomachs have
been injured by ice-water than by
hot drinks. But whether hot or
cold, digestion cannot proceed till
the contents of the stomach have
reached blood heat. The harvest
drink, indeed, the best diet drink
for summer weather is buttermilk,
at temperature of about go de
grees. 1t has water enough to al
lay thirst, with considerable
amount of nutrition in form east
ly digested, and its Tactic acid sup
plies an important demand of the
system in hot weather. Since the
whisky bottle has been banished
sunstroke has nearly disappeared
from the harvest field.-Farmer.
