HENRY CAMpE's sEvEN.sHoOTER.
The hoy and the Pistol aud fhe
Usual Result.

yesterday afternoon about 3 clock the
household OF Mr.. John Ii. Campo, chief
draughtsman in the U. s. Surveyor-Gen-
erals office, was thrown into distressing
excitement by the loud report OF a revolt
yer in the kitchen-the family being in
other parts OF the house-and upon rush.
ing to the room the terror-stricken mother
found her son Henry, boy between ~
and 10 years old, with a small revolver
in his hand, loudly protesting that no.
body was hurt. The pistol, which is a
seyen-shooter, contained six cartridges,
only one chamber being empty, and it
seemed for o time that every effort to as
certain where the missing bullet had
lodged would be in vain. The boy in
sisted, with pluck which subsequent facts
showed to be extraordinary, that the ball
had been fired into the floor, but was I'M
able to point out to the distracted mother
any evidence to substantiate his state
ment.
Mrs. Campo from the first was thor
oughly overcome by the feeling that her
her suspicious and distress increased as
ball had struck. Henry, after persist
emily endeavoring to divert the attention
of those present from the real fact,
finally acknowledged having received the
bullet in his right leg, and his father and
the doctor were ut once summoned. DIR.
Beattie, who reached the house, which is
in Franklin Avenue, about an hour after
wards, found that the bullet had entered
the fleshy part of the right leg, some seven
inches above the knee, and followed the
bone downward, lodging in the knee
joint in most remarkable position. The
removal OF the ball failed to reveal the
exact condition of the fracture Of the
bone, If indeed there be fracture, and
the doctor gave it as his opinion that it
might be several days before the fact can
be learned
The boy, whose characteristic mis-
chievousness on two former occasions has
nearly caused his death, had been known
to have pistol for some time past, claim
ing that it was necessary as means of
protection at night, but Mr.. Campo, who
is an exceedingly indulgent father, al
lowed his son to retain It on condition
that the cartridges were given up, which
they were. Some new cartridges had
evidently been procured by the boy, who,
when the accident occurred, was in the
act Of withdrawing the cylinder, to do
which it was necessary to raise the trig-
ger He was in a sitting position at the
time and might have rendered the shot
fatal by the slightest movement. Mr..
Campo and his wife are greatly distressed
over the affair, and while exceedingly ap-
prehensive in regard to what the wound
may develop, feel very grateful that it
was no worse, realizing fully what the
possibilities were. The boy is resting
easily and will not experience, it is
thought, any very acute suffering until
tomorrow.

The Supreme Court Takes Punch.

The Supreme Court has its barroom.
This room is so hidden away from the
public that very little is known of it, as
only the Justices and their friends ever
succeed in passing by the guards and
reaching it. 1t is next to the disrobing
dressing room Of the Justices, where
these ponderous gentlemen 90 for the
purpose OF putting on and taking off
their rich robes OF shining black silk.
This room is plain one, with an entrance
from the Clerks office, besides the one
from the dressing room. 1t has u genial
open CRATE. over which hangs an old
fashioned black iron teakettle, with a
nozzle huge, black and thick. This is
the kettle which has been used for heat
ing the water employed in mixing hot
punches since the days Of John Marshall.
There is smart yellow man in attend
ance in this room, who has fine cabinet
OF assorted liquors and who is an expert
in making all kinds of fancy drinks. The
furniture is of the plainest, the chairs
and sofas being upholstered in black
horsehair. But the room is so retired
and as well stocked with good things to
drink that it is one OF the most delightful
snuggeries about the Capitol. Seated in
front OF this glowing fire, with long pipes
or good cigars, the rotund Justices can
watch the steaming teakettle us they sin
their grog or fancy drink.

sALyINI IN oTHELLo.
A Deserter Surrenders.

Patrick Swan, says the San Francisco
Ata- California Of the 3lst ult., surren-
dered himself voluntarily to the United
States Marshal as a, self-proclaimed de-
serter from the army. Swan alleges that
he deserted from the army in 1868, but
has since served several terms Of enlist
ment, the last being in Company II,
Thirteenth y. s.. Infantry, at Fort
Douglas, Salt Lake City. A Deputy
United States Marshal took Swan to the
Preside and placed him in charge of the
officer Of the guard. In consequence Of
his act, general court-martial may SEN
tence Swan to long Imprisonment, al
though, as the desertion took place dur
ing the Rebellion, the. articles OF war
make such offenses punishable with
death. The statutes of limitation may,
however, intervene in his behalf.

ABOUT THE REAL MIKADO.
Something Interesting About the
Being Taken as the Operas
Original.

So much has OF late been said, heard
and seen, remarks an exchange, about
this gentleman or lady-for few have
known what to make of the parsonage
that some words of explanation must
prove welcome to our many readers.
The first mystery about the word is its
pronunciation. We have heard it ac-
cented half dozen different ways. Web
ster gives but one, and that one Mika'do.
1t is not Miky-doo-the GAP has here its
'told" Latin sound, and is spoken like the
"a" in Alice or Harrison. So the word
is Mika'da.
Mikado is the imperial title of the SOW
ereign of Japan. The first ever honored
with the name is believed to have been
Jimmu Tenno, who began his reign $50
years before Christ. And in the twenty
five centuries since, 1913 Mikados have
swayed the sceptre over the strangely in
telligent Japanese.
The name of the reigning Mikado is
Mutsuhito-easly written, but not SO
easily spoken. He was born in 1850 and
became Emperor in 1868. He is the son
OF his predecessor in office, Komei Tenno,
and through him he traces his descent in
line unbroken back to Tenno the First,
who descended from the gods of his day.
The word Mikado was not known to the
ancients. 1t does not occur in any of the
Oldest japanese documents. Now, how
ever, it is the best known name the
worthy Emperor owns. But he is blessed
with several minor titles, all of them in
dicative OF honor and power. He is
Judge OF the World" (Kotie), "Heayen
King" tenno), "Son OF Heaven" tenshi).
But Americans will for ever know him
only by "Mikado," the name that has
been so extensively popularized among
them.
The etymiology and meaning of the
word are variously stated by linguists OF
learning. Some derive it from "mika"
(grand) and "to" (place)-a grand place
the palace OF the ruler And later by
figure OF speech much used in eastern
nations, the occupant OF the grand place
the Emperor. We prefer to think that
us meaning, probably is similar to the
Turkish title Sublime porte" and its
true true origin from "mi" (august) and
"kato" IA gate).
The present Mikado has broken away
from many of the immemorial traditions
OF his kingly elan. Abandoning long-in-
dnlged seclusion, he appears in public
dresses, eats rides, sleeps, and acts after
the manner of European sovereigns
lie condescends even to give audiences to
members OF the diplomatic corps, to his
own officers, and to distinguished for
eigners.
Does the real japanese Mikado resem-
Die much the one you have seen on the
stage?

The Marshars Courtesy to Nicholson.

Through the courtesy OF Marshal Ire
land, John Nicholson was yesterday per-
mitted to attend the funeral services of
the late Francis Plat in the Thirteenth
ward Assembly Rooms. Mr.. Nicholson
did not address the assembly from the
pulpit, but a somewhat lengthy paper
which he had carefully prepared and
which contained personal "reminiscences
of the life of the deceased was read by
Bishop Whitney. The ex-editor had been
a close acquaintance of the deceased for
great many years, and was quite elo-
quent in his eulogy.
The fare at the Pen does not seem to
have gone hard with Mr.. Nicholson--at
least there was no evidence of it in his
nDpaarancp

All the Same Angus.

Apostle Lorenzo Snow gave to the court,
last Thursday, in Ogden, the same assur-
ance which Angus Cannon offered before
Judge Zane, viz: That he had observed
the requirements OF the Edmunds law,
in putting away his wives, etc. This is
covertly coming "within the law" and
lacks only one thing Of making it perfect
obedience-th promise, in good faith to
do what they acknowledge having done
voluntarily.

RECEIVER BANCRoFTs REPORT.
Net Earnings of the u. a. II. q.
western for the Past Eighteen
Months Nearly Hair IA Will
lion Dollars.

Receiver Bancroft has submitted his
financial statement of the business OF the
D. & r. q. Western, covering period OF
eighteen months from July 18th, 1884,
when he assumed the duties OF the Re
ownership. We question whether the
showing will not prove az astonishing to
the public as it is gratifying to the many
friends and well-wishers OF the Little
Giant" When it is remembered that
the road has suffered an almost intermn-
able number Of washouts and other dis
asters which have been quite as unavoid-
able as they have been costly, and when
too, the character OF the times, in u BUSH
ness sense, is considered, the showing
made in the following figures seems al
most incredible, and will effectually con-
firm in the estimation OF his friends and
the people everywhere that Mr.. Bancroft
was eminently fitted for the great re-
sponsibilities entailed in the Receiv-
ership.
twill be seen that during the eighteen
months which the statement embraces
there has been net gain of almost half
a million dollars, which will be crafty
ing news to the stockholders, and tends
to demonstrate what the possibilities of
the road are, and what may reasonably
be anticipated for the future.
The following is the tabulated state
mnnt.

COMING ADJUSTMENTS.
"Ioinnthe" TO be Repeatcd-Sntvini
and the Milan opera Com-
pany In February.

After the repetition OF "Iolanthe" next
Monday evening by the Salt Lake Opera
Company, the music-loving public will
center their interest on the event OF the
Milan Italian Opera Company, Which is
set for the last week in February. There
is still some uncertainty as TO the exact
dates and the particular operas which
the company will give here, but their re-
pertoire embraces Faust, Trovatore, Ira
viata, Lucia, Martha, Fra Diavolo and u
number Of others almost equally popular,
30 that the public is assured of a musical
treat, whatever may be the selections.
sALvINI IN oTHELLo.
The world-renowned Salvini will give
one performance only, February 25th. in
the Salt Lake Theatre. 1t has not been
definitely decided what rates will obtain,
but those adopted by the Emma Nevada
concert are talked OF as probable. There
is little doubt but a tremendous house
will greet the appearance of the distin-
guished tragedian, whatever the rates
may be, although we think it advisable
on all accounts that the management
should secure moderate prices.
Manager Mckenzie is now in cores
pondence with eastern companies respect
ing performances which may obtain dates
as early as the 18th OF the present month.

A Great Success.

scarcely more pronounced than the almost
perfect characterization OF James by Mr..

way great success.
