Our town WIS pretty derscly popu-
lated on Friday. There were more
colorcd people 10 the square mile on
that day than whites in the city of
New York. 1t waa difficult to deter
mine whether it WAS a circus or a rail-
road "a herring, the enthusiasm over
each beng abou, equally divided.
Th,rc WAS a general exodus of apples
and gingar cakes, and the saloons
were crowded until night, 1t was
regular field. day for Macon.

Josh Billings Philosophy.

The greatest possible injury that a
man can do to humanity is to preach
infidelity.
God never has placed one single
thing we must have out of our reach;
our great misfortune is, the thirgs we
can't get we want most.
1t is terrible burden for TIE heart
to carry to the grave secret it can
not reveal.
The strongest trait in human char.
acter is the love of chance. A man
who never takes change will never
get above the dignity of tending a
guide board.
A man without habits is without
character; he is like a buIi's.eye watch
he may keep time, but he has got
to he wound w regular to do it.
Progress is the great law; and the
more progress we make here the
nearer we shall be to heaven when
we die.
Every man can be hero on his
own hunghill, but to be a hero on
somebody else's dunghill is what
strains the rooster.
The greatest bore on this earth is
the one who can't talk about any
thing but himself.
A very long creed is like very
long tail, more liable to tangle the
possessor than be stepped on by
others.
Spots count, my child; you can't
take the eight spot with the seven.

Dear SIR II nave been a sufferer

of your "A BONANZA" and had only
been taking it about six days when |
began To feel it was doing me good.
/ told a number of my neighbors
what it had done for me and they
commenced using it, and all agree
with me that it is the only medicine
that will do all that it is recommend
ed to do. One thing about "ARo-
MAMMA" while it is acting and
cleansing the system it does not weak

A Bulgarian Hercules.

In the Bulgarian village of Ostro-
va,a correspondent of the Freie PreSSe
recently witnessed the exploits of a
rustic athelete who could make his
fortune in any North American cir
Gus. He snapped an inch tow by
passing one loop oyer his neck and
shoulders and the other around his
bended knee, and then Strengthening
out that turned his fore head into Il
clunp of wrinkles. With an eud of
the same tow he then got a hitch
around a siXty-pOund chunk of lime
stone, and after giving it few pen
dulum swings, whirled it about his
head like a slungshot. a boy atten-
dant then handed him stone jug of
the heaviest caliber, which he wrap
ped up in shawl and chucked be-
tween his crossed arms and his chest.
"Will you pay for it if break il 2"
he asked, after giving the bundle a
preliminary hug. Coppers dropped
in from all sides, and under the ueXt
hus the massive stoneWare collapsed
like an egg-shell. Samson next seiZ.

clean off the ground, held it out at
arms length for at least five seconds,
and then lowered it without allow

He then produced Il large grain sack
and offered to bag any frIloWnan in
! less than ten minutes for a bet OF five

He came back down town that night

WILL HE COME TO UTAH?

A special dispatch from Springfield
Oil. to the Chicago Herald OF the goth
inst, states that General McClernand
returned to that city from Washington on
Sunday last. In an interview with the
Herald correspondent, the General stated
that during his conference with the
President "no mention was made OF an
appointment to Office, either by himself
or the President. The conversation,
however, was almost entirely regarding
Utah and its affairs, and Mr.. Cleveland
obtained an index of General McCler
nand's views and opinions on all matters
pertaining to Utah and the Mormons.
General McClernand denied the pub
lshed story that Utah offices were ten
dered him by the President"
This statement, made by General Nc
Clernand himself, knocks into cooked
hat the published announcement that he
has been rendered and refused to accept
the Office left vacant by the resignation
of Governor Murray. But certainly the
President must have had some idea o
urging upon the General the acceptance
of either the Governorship OF thi:
Territory or Commissionership, other
wise he would not have founc
it necessary to summon him to Wash
ington for the purpose OF obtaining an
index" OF his views on Utah affairs
There are thousands of men in the United
States who are better posted on Utaf
| matters than General McClernand cal
possibly be, and the President coult
doubtless at any time have had the benc
fit OF their experience and knowledge b,
simply signiiying his desire therefor, St
that it is altogether improbable that fo
that purpose alone General McClernant
was invited to conference with tn
Executive.
After all, it is just possible that the
President does intend to tender Genera
McClernand one OF the two offices re
ferred to, and until they are disposed o.
by the appointment thereto of other can
ddates, we shall remain under that i'm
preston 1t is to be hoped, however
that the President will see his way clea
to placing General McClernand on tn
Utah Commissioner he is to be given
Utah appointment at all-and that h
will then dispose OF the Governorship b,
appointing thereto our local candidate

"WAR is IMMINENT! ="

The DEMOCRAT last evening stated its
belief that trouble was imminent between
Greece and Turkey, and cited as evidence
the rumor that the government had or
dered the mobilization OF the National
Guards. The following special, pub
lished in the Tribune this morning-if it
be reliable-makes 1T clear that serious
trouble is likely to be experienced in Il
few days:
New YORK, March 3l.-April 9th is the an
niversary of the independence of Greece,
and it is believed that the day will be selected
by the Chamber to make war. Russian
officers late in Suda Bay, say that at the
first hostile intimation, the allied fleet are
expected to initiate blockade, while the
Turkish army of 100000 Ito the Greeks num-
bering 10000 almost untried men, will try
invasive conclusions. War is imminent.
As heretofore pointed out in these col
umns, should Greece be allowed to make
hostile demonstrations toward Turkey,
the result might be the involving of all
Europe in a terrible war. 1t is for this
reason that the Powers have all this time
seen fit to restrain Greece from provoking
hostilities with the Sick Man, and for the
same reason they will probably see to it
that the threatened rupture does not
assume such proportions as to call for the
active participation OF allies on the one
side or the other
