Sent Up.

Recently one James McDermott rep
resented TO Mr.. James Horrocks of
this city that he had some $500 de-
posted with Aessrs. Beckwith & Quinn
Of Evanston. and that he was in need
of about $40. He worked upon Mr..
HIS sympathieS until that gentleman
consented TO endorse McDermott 5
draft on BeckwiEh IL Quinn TO enable
him TO draw the money here Then
instead OF making out the draft for $40
Med. mads 1t for 500 and Mr.. Horrocks
endorsed II, wnereupon McDermott
took the bill to one of the city banks
ana csshed it. The bank promptly for
warded it to Evanston for collection but
were informed that the drawer had no
funds. Mr.. HOrrocks, of course. had
the 500 to pay. He also had McDer
mott arrested and in default of bail
Commissioner Wardleigh sent him to

Train Wreck.

A wreck which resulted in the serious
I'M ~ of a conductor and brakeman
occurred on the Utah and Northern,
between Camas and Market Lake on
Monday. The regular express was de-
layed three hours and half in conse-
queuce. Particulars of the accident are
very meagre, as usual, and 1t is difficult
TO say just how it happened. 1t seems,
out OF condition, as the engine and
some of the cars were all right while
the rear portion of the train was ditched
and Conductor Quinn and his brake
man both quite seriously hurt. The
wreck. which is the fourth one Mr.
Quinn has been in. occurred at about
the same place at which the accident in
which Mr.. A. Palmer was killed last
winter.

Central School Library.

We are pleased TO note the suece.:
with which the efforts to establish a Ii
brary for the Central School have met.
They now have a neat room fitted up
and have the foundation of an elegant
library laid. About 100 volumes o.
the most standard and reliable works
both scientific and historical. besides
other popular works, are on the shelves
and the room is open 20 the subscribers.
The library IS intended for the benefit
of the pupils and patrons of the school
and will be open each evening from to
O'Clock p. m, and on Monday even
ings from Gill Top. m.
The present accommodations are
ample for about thirty persons. and
can readily be enlarged to accom- modate
seveRty-fve or one hundred. Several
more volumes will shortly be added to
the library, and the management ex-
poets 10 very materially enlarge It by
next spring. This is q splendid chance
for intelligent and well-direc,ed effort
and We trust that it will meet with even
greater success than its projectors an
ticipate.

How Pride May Prevent Poverty.

Now, be it observed that in London,
despite its more than 500, 900 Of inhabit-
ants, the number Of paupers has not In
creased, though greater pains are now
taken to relieve them-that is to say, to
flnd out the true number. In 1889 there
were Q2 0s3, in 1885, 9l ,6S4. Now, l believe
that sm more familiar with very poor
people, tramps. vagabonds, beggars, gyp-
sizes, etc, than most people who do not
live among them, and am sure that Of
all the causes in the world to prevent
poverty put together there is nothing
like pride It may be that by it the an
gels fell, but It Is the one great m0tive to
raise up devils unto angels.
The public school children Of Philadel-
phia are 20 superior to those Of corre-
spending class in London that can only
say that the first are like little Ladies' ana
gentlemen and the latter mere brutal
savages AL Of this difference is due to
nothing but the great pride which Amer
lean parents take in seeing their children
clean, decent, and well-behayed.-Le-

Tennyson is said to be little less than
writing. He never willingly cOnverses
on any other theme, and is apt to converse
on this to most unbearable length when
ever he gets . new listener, and to end
nis discourse with an offer to read vol
ume or two to the helpless victim who
has fallen into his hands.
A very laughable story Il told about
the visit Of Charles Sumner, himself the
prince of egotists, TO Tennyson. Sum-
ner, who never conversed without bring
ing himself forward rather 2rS::sneItly,
began expstiating to Tennyson upon
American affairs and his own position in
regard to slavery and the south. Tenny-
son, who, IL he knew there was such
country as America, certainly did not
care . farthing candle for her or her af-
fairs, was intensely bored. Sumner, un-
conscious of the peculiarities of his host,
went on until he had delivered several Of
his great speeches in the United States
senate, when he paused for breath.

once. hey were seated in the library,

AMERICAN TYPE OF coUNTeNANce.

The Narrowing and Pinching That Has
Gone on-Face Of the Future.
We can never reconstruct the Oid-Eng-
Land features, which We have lost. 1t
would not, perhaps, be desirable to do 1t
il we could; but We can prevent the mar
rowing and pinching that has gone on
that look Of eternal Sunday that has been
growing on our young men. Our thin
jaws have been attributed to climate. They
are due to nothing Of the sort; but to
the intense driving, energy wasting
life we lead. combined with q very reck-
less disregard Of physical laws. We eat
every sort of outrageous food or poison,
overcramming and hurrying 80 that the
stomach has no chance to digest even
good food. believe no people on earth
commit grealer amount Of daily suicide
In the way of grease, pork, butter, pastry
and cakes. We are a nation Of dyspeptics
from over-feeding and ill-feeding. Three
fourths Of the people do not know the
plainest rules Of hygiene, SO far - dtoe IL
concerned. The consequence Is pinched
vitals and pinched faces, for good fAce
only means good liver.
To remove this tendency, we must have
more Oxygen, more outdoor sport, more
good cheer and less suicide" The litera-
ture of our Later sporting is cheeEy bright
full of ozone, healthy and sunny. 1t
always brings US the smell a II
lacs and clover. The future Ameg.
lean face will be . bright full face,
with brave warm eye, . merry, hu-
morous mouth, and . lively, flexible
nostril 1t will be active, but firm and
self-reliant. 1t will have none Of the stO-
hdity Of the English face, or the darkness
of the general continental face. WitAal
the rest il will have more decided indi-
viduality than the faces We have lot, the
imported faces Of the Enslish, French q
German root. ~
Lower races have so little facial indi-
viduality that you can scarcely distin-
guish one from another. Negroes look
vastly alike, especially on the planta-
tions. Then what an astounding repeti-
ton there is in crowd Of emigrants that
pours out of q steamer at the wharf In
New York. The spiritual Of the counten-
ance h always the Same. There are tAe
same ideas there; the same level
exactly, of conceiving thinss; the sape

the physical only having any degree Of
conformity, will have vast range Of the
spiritual and intellectual; . vast divefg.

suit Of field sports alone do not assert;
but of a combination Of influences that
call us into a wider range of healthier
