THE SNOW CASES.

A session OF the Territorial Supreme
Court was held on Saturday evening, at
which decisions were rendered in the
Snow cases on appeal from the First Dis
trict Court. The defendant, one of the
Twelve Apostles of the Mormon Church,
had been tried and convicted in the court
below on three indictments charging him
with the crime OF unlawful cohabitation,
one indictment covering the year 1888,
another the year 1884, and the third the
year 1886. In the latter case the Su-
preme Court several days ago rendered
its decision, sustaining the court below,
but the other two cases were not reached
until Saturday evening, when Justice
Boreman delivered the courts decision
in the case for 1884, and Justice Powers
the one for 1883, both sustaining the court
below, Chief Justice Zane dissenting
therefrom in language as follows:
dissent from the Judgment of the court.
The evidence showed that Adeline, one of the
women named in the indictment, was de-
fendant's first and lawful wife, without
therein he was ever in her company or ever
spoke to her, and the court charged in sub
stance that if the jury believed that during
the time mentioned in the indictment the
defendant had wife living whom he recog.
nized and held out as his wife and contrib
uted to the support of, and that during the
same time he lived with. recognized, associ
ated with and supported as his wife another
woman named in the Indictment, the offenst
of cohabitation was complete and that the
Jury should convict. i think it essential Il
cohabitation with defendants lawful wife
that he should have been in her company
some part of the time mentioned in the in
dictment. Association, to some extent, il
an element of the crime of unlawful cohab
itation, as defined in the Edmunds law. 1
is not sufficient that man and his Lawful
wife should live in the same neighborhood o
in the same city. L concur with 80 much o

than one indictment may be found by tn

We understand that these cases will b.
taken up to the Supreme Court OF tn

termination by the court of last resor

that the officers should proceed;
the limit is then reached, and violent
resistance to lawful authority would be
justified. To aggravate the feeling, the
officers OF the court are branded as
"cowardly ruffians," against whom the
people are to be on their guard as against
"wild beasts or highwaymen."
Still the masses are advised to keep
coolw This is good deal like shutting
man up in an oven under which big
fire is blazing, and then telling him to
'fkeep coolp' 1t is base slander on the
men who execute the DEGREES OF the
courts, and as such merits judicial cogniz-

Japanese Flower Gardening.

Among the japanese the love of flow
ers and plants is an absorbing passion.
In the smallest of dwellings there is an
altar. like niche, in or upon which flower
ing plants are arranged, but they have
in some districts G. most remarkable Gus
tom in connection with window garden
ing.
In houses wherein reside one or more
daughters of marriageable age, an empty
flower pot of an ornamental character is
encircled By ring, and suspended from
the window or varauda by three light
chains.
Now, the Juliets of Japan are Of
course attractive, and their Romeos as
love-sick as those OF other lands. But
instead of serenaGes by moonlight and
other delicate ways of making an i'm
preston, it is etiquette for the Japanese
lover to approach the dwelling Of his
lady, bearing some choice plant in his
hand, which he bold y, but, let us
hope, 1everently, proceeds to plant in
the empty vase. This takes place at a
time when he is fully assured that both
mother and daughter are at home, and
I need scarcely say neither of them are
at oil conscious that the young man is
taking such liberty with the flower pot
outside of their window. 1t is believed
that young lover so engaged has never
been seen by the lady or her mamma in
this act of sacrilege; at any rate, q
friend tells me that, during his long resi-
dence in Japan, he never heard of any
one being detected in the act or inter-
fered with in any way.
The fact is, this act Of placing a pretty
plant into the empty fower-pot is equiv
alent to formal proposal to the young
lady who dwells within. The youthful
gardener, having settled his plant to his
mind, retires, and the lady is free to act
as she pleases.
If he is the right man, she takes every
care of his plant, waters it, and tends it
carefully with her own hands, that all
the world may see and know that the
donor is accepted as asuitor. But if he
is not favorite, or il stern parents OBJ
iect, the plant is removed from the vase,
and the next morning finds it withered
on the veranda, or on the path below.
In word. if you are not the right man,
it is evident that this phase of window
gardening must be difficult and disap-
pointing one to carry on in Japan.-F

PATHS Chagrin.

A German paper tells good story of
how Patti made mistake in Paris some
years ago.
She was called upon at a private enter
tainment, to which she had been invited.
to sing couple of songs. She did 80,
and the company overwhelmed her with
praise.
Next morning the gentleman who had
given the entertainment sent her mag
niicent pair of diamond earrings. They
were worth not less than 8, 900 francs.
The prima donna expressed her thanks
in a note, for the present, but she added
a postscrips to the effect that he had
omitted to inclose her 5000 francs,
which was her regular price for singing
at private entertainments. The gentle
man was very much shocked, but he got
even with her neatly. He went to
jewelcr, and bought another pair of ear
rings for eighty francs. He sent his
servant to the diva with these cheap ear
rings, and a check for the amount she
claimed. The servant said:
"My master received your note this
morning, and he. fuds your demand per =
fcctly reasonable. Here is check for
it. He also sends you pair of earrings,
but those which I left here yesterday
were intended for another person. They
were sent you by mistake. Will you
have the kindness to return them, ana
overlook the mistake"
Patti saw too late that she had made
faux-pas. With face as red as fire she
returned the magnificent diamonds, but
she sighed heavily as the servant put
them under his arm and went off with
them.

A Cow with q Wooden Leg.

Some time ago valuable cow, the
property of Mr.. Botteril Hudson, OF
Nation, broke her leg, and Mr.. Hudson,
being desirous of saving the cow for the
sake of fine well-brsd calf then run
ming with her, desired Mr.. Snary to
amputate the limb. This was done, and
the veterinary then tried the ingenious
plan just carried to O successful issue.
A rudely constructed wooden leg was
made under Mr.. Snarry's direction, and
the COW did so we'll on the artificial limb,
the stump of the leg healing so natural
ly, too, that. when all swelling had sub
sided, the veterinary had more artistic
and permanent climber" constructed,
and the cow may now be seen stumping
about the meadows as contented, and
apparently almost as active, as when
supplied with the full complement of
legs intended for her by nature. Prof.
Williams, of Edinburgh, says he knows
of but one case anything like parallel
to this, and that occurred in Wales.
There are several similar cases on record.

FOR FEMININE READERS.
Superstftions About Marrying.

The Romans are very superstitlous
about marrying in May and February.
The 14th has always been considered IN
England peculiarly unlucky for brides.
Why, tradition sayeth not. In the ork-
ney isles the bride selects an evening for
her wedding when there is full moon
and a flowing tide. In Scotland the last
day in the year is considered lucky; the
brides prospects in life are supposed
to be brilliant. Sunday is great favor
ite with brides in some parts Of England
and Ireland. The French demoiselle,
however, thinks the first Friday of the
month particularly fortunate for her
nuptials. In Sweden the bride on her
way back from the church has pieces Of
bread in her pockets. These she throws
away on her road to her home to insure
her good luck. 1t is ill-fortune to the
one who picks up these crumbs. If the
bride lose her slipper on her way from
church she will lose all her troubles, and
the one who picks it up will gain riches.
In every country it is an unhappy omen
for the wedding to be put off when once
the dav mas been fixed, and in England
it is believed great misfortune will ensue
if bridegroom stand. if only fer mo-
ment, at the junction of crossroads on
his wedding morn. In England, also, 1T
is thought sign of bad luck if the bride
fails to shed tears Oh her wedding day.

herself in her wedding toilet

SiIencing a SalcsvOman.

Two ladies were looking at some silk
dresses in prominent dry-goods store OF
this city one day last week. OF course.
the saleswoman was urging the lady who
contemplated buying the dress to take
the French silk. "Iou see," said the
saleswoman, "French silks wear so much
better and look so much better. Amerl-
can black silks are not so bad, but col.
ored silks are neither finished we'll nor
do they look WE'LL" Having watched
the effect of this remark upon the Gus
toner, the saleswoman turned to the
friend who had accompanied the pur-
chaser for an illustration, and said, as
she pointed to beautiful gray flowered
silk worn by this lady: "For example,
an American silk, madame, will neither
look so beautiful nor wear so we'll as
your friends costume. You can see at
once that it is French dress. We can
not make such beautiful material III
America" Indeed" said the aston
ished lady, "this silk was made in the
city of New York, and my husband saw
it on the loom. have worn this dress
for two years, travelled in it and have
had it packed in trunks, but it always
comes out fresh and it wears better than
any silk I ever had" The saleswoman
colored and relapsed into silence. In
this way we are imposed upon. In this
way the products of our shops, our fac
tories and our looms are constantly being
deprecated. 1t is more difficult to over
come deeply rooted prejudice than it is
to manufacture goods in competition
with the badly paid labor of Europe.
We have no doubt the saleswoman was
honest in this instance, though she was
ignorant of the progress of the American
silk industry during The last decade.
She was pandering, however, to preju-
dice common among her sex. Is it not
about time that senseless prejudice was
overcomea We think so.-Phaladelphia

An Umbrella as q Magnet.

Captain Campbell, master of the
steamer Beatrice, running between Larne
and Stanraer. has related Mt Belfast a
cuious incident which occurred on
board last week during q voyage. 1t
appeared the man at the wheel noticed
that the compass was so disturbed by
something that he could not keep the
vessel on her course. He reported the
matter to the officers. The captain, on
making an investigation, went to n gen.
tleman leaning against the wooden par:
tition on the starboard side, and asked
him if he had magnet about him. He
said no, but he held m umbrella in his
hand, which he subsequently handed to
the mate. The umbrella was then held
toward the compass, and at once the
needle was attracted by it. When the
umbrella was changed to the opposite
side the compass followed it, this prov
ing it to be very powerful Magnet

A Wonderful Noun tain Lake.

There can scarcely be as great nat
ural wonder within civilization, and at
the same time so little known close at
hand, as Crater lake. Situated twenty
two miles west of north of Fort klamath,
klamath county, directly on the summit
of the Cascade mountains and about
ninety miles east of Medford, it is easily
accessible, there being a good mountain
road to the very top of the walls sur
rounding it and fine camping grounds
about half mile distant. The lake it.
self is about six by eight miles in diam
eter and ranges from east of north to
west of south. The surface of the water
is G,300 feet above the sea level, and is
completely surrounded by cliffs or walls
from 900 to nearly 5000 feet high. To
the southwest is circular island which
our party named Wizard island. 1t is GOO
feet high, and in the top is circular hole,
or extinct crater, Ats feet in diameter,
named by US the Witch's caldron. The
base of the island is covered with very
heavy and hard rocks, over which
scarcely score of human feet have ever
trod. Further up are deep beds FLASHES
and cindcrs, giving evidence of the most
intense heat in days gone by. Within
the crater, as without, the surface is en-
tirely covered with volcanic rocks, but
here it forms one of the hottest places on
q clear day in August it has ever been
my lot to witness. Ninety feet below
the crater's rim not breath of air can
penetrate. while the sun beats down upon
the rocky surface and reflects its rays from
ten thousand upturned stones, forming
very furnace and heating it beyond
all endurance; nevertheless, we sat
within it, at the lowest point, and par
took of our Monday meal with one hand,
while with the other great drops of
sweat were brushed from onr brows. We
took with US from Portland light
canoe. which was lowered to the lake by
the aid of ropes, and by means OF which
we were enabled to reach Wizard island
and see the surroundings from poiRt Of
observation seldom attained by visitors.
We were also well paid for the trouble
and expense, for the reason that. while
the view from the shore is grand beyond
description, that obtained from the lake
is remarkable and inspires one with feel
ings of awe, and awakens depth Of ap-
probation for the sublime unequaled.-

Origin of the Word "Glutton."

From the Latin "glutto," one who
eats voraciously: gormaudizer. Vitel-
Illus, the Roman emperor (born A. D. 15.
died G9), was called 1.-The Glutton. {"
Visiting the field after the battle of Bed
riac, in Gaul, lie exclaimed: "The body
of a dead enemy is delightful perfume. !"
Charles IN. of France, when he went in
grand procession to visit the gibbet on
which Admiral Coligny was hanging,
had the wretched heartlessness to ex-
claim, in doggerel verse:
Fragrance sweeter than the rose
Rises from our slaughtered foes
Gabius Apicus, who lived during the
reign of Tiberius, was also called "The
Glutton." He spent eSOO,OO0 on the
luxuries of the table, and when only
esO,O0O of his large fortune remained,
he hanged himself, thinking death pref
erable to starvation on such miserable
pittance."
