A SAD THING.

A sad thing occurred last summer or
an Omaha train. 1t was a very warm
day, and in the smoking car fat man
with a magenta fringe of whiskers over
his Adams apple, and light, ecru lam
brequin of real cancels hair around the
suburbs of his head, might have been
discovered.
He could have opened his mouth wi
der perhaps, but not without injuring
the handspring Of his neck and turning
his epiglottis out Of doors.
He was asleep.
He was not only slumbering, but he
was putting the earnest and passionate
devotion of his whole being into it.
His shiny, oilcloth grip, with the tip OF
discarded collar roguishly peeping
out at the side, was up in the iron wall
pocket of the Car. He also had in the
seat with him market basket full of
misfit lunch and two bushel bag con-
tanning extra apparel. On the floor he
had crock of butter with copy OF the
"Punkville Palladium and Stock Grow
ers Guardian over the top.
He slumbered on in rambling sort
of way. snoring all the time in mon
osyllsbles, except when he. enormously
swallowed his tonsils, and then he
would get black in the face, while the
passengers vainly hoped that he wound
strangle.
While he was thus slumbering, with
all the eloquence and enthusiasm of
man in the full meridian Of life, the
train stopped with lurch, and the
breakman touched his shoulder:
"Hsre's your town." he said. We
only stop a minute. You'll have to
hustle"
The man who had been far away,
wrestling with Morpheus, had removed |
his hat and boots, and when he awoko |
his feet absolutely refused to 60 back
into the same quarters.
At first he looked around reproach-
Iully at the people in the car. Then he
reached up and got his oilcloth grip
rom the bracket. The bag was tied
together with string, and as he took it
Town the string united. Then we all
discovered that this man had been on
he road for long time, with no OBJ
ect, apparently, except to evade laund-
les. All kinds of articles fell out in
he aisle. 1 remember seeing chest
and linen coat, slab of
eal-brown gingerbread, and pair of
toga boots, hair-brush and bologna
ausage, plug of tobacco and por-
us plaster.
He gathered up what he could in
9th arms, made two trips to the door
nd threw out all he could, tried again
D put his number IL feet into his num-
or 8 boots, gave it up, and socked HIM
off out of the car as it began to move,
'hile tho brakeman bombarded him
trough the window for two miles with
ersonal property, groceries, dry goods,
cots and shoes, gents' furnishing goods,
ardware, notions, bric-abrac, red her
ng, clothing, doughnuts, vinegar Bit
ITS, and facetious remarks.
Then he picked up the retired
lorer's railroad check from the seat,
nd heard him say: "Why, dog on
, that wasn't his town after ALL !

TIE society reporter of the Cassia
County Times must be a dandy. This
is the way he dishes up a marriage GER
emory performed in Albion last week,
and to which the horrid wretch was an
invited guest.
The ceremony was short and sweet,
and SO was the embrace of the newly
made husband and wife. After shower
ing congratulations upon the happy
couple, those present quietly dispersed,
the ladies twittering and the bachelors
kicking themselves for being out of
luck. The bride is passably good look
ing, we'll formed. robust and able-bod-
led, while the groom bore the appear
ance of an honest, Industrious young
man. There is slight sensation con-
nected with the affair, which made it
more interesting than ordinary mar
riages, and the sequel is easily told
by stating that the BRIDES parents
strongly objected to the marriage. In
the evening social dance was arranged
at the Albion House, where the happy
couple had taken rooms, and a dozen
or more couples participated in the
sport until II O'Clock, when the anx-
ious pair we're allowed to retire-per-
haps to sleep, and perchance to dream
of the sweet bye and bye. Yum, yum.

Weiser Leader: There is some talk
of trying to have q territorial law intro
duced at the next session of the legisla-
ture to impose q special tax of twelve
dollars per head on each old bachelor,
the tax to be applied to the school fund.
Blackfoot Reporter: Suppose the
bachelor be editor of a paper, and con-
sequently had no twelve dollars?

fuses to do anything for his country
ought to die to slow music.

THE Salt Lake Tribune, commenui &
on Gladstone's defeat, says: "Glsd-
stone has been thrown down once more.
He is very old and good deal broken,
and the present disappointment may
still further reduce his vital forces, so
that he may not be given to see the frui-
ton of his hopes. But the glacier
which he has set in motion will never
stop its flow until all opposition will be
ground to atoms, and out OF the debris
the flower of prosperity will bloom for
Ireland. The public sentiment OF the
world cannot long be resisted. There
will never be respite for the British
Parliament until the profits of Irish
lands shall be divided among Irishmen,
until Ireland shall, at least, have had
fair trial to manage her own local
affairs. This matter may be put of
again and again, but it will continually
return and force hearing, and behind
it will be the pressure OF the worlds
opinion growing stronger and stronger
ali the time until it will prevail Glad
stone may sink out OF the fight before
it shall be won, but some other nervy
hand will take 1t up and carry it on.
The longer, too, the glacier flows, the
more OF the rocks of wrong will be
ground to dust, for while the glacier
flows the world also moves on, and the
more does justice in mems affairs assert
itself. There is no reason why Ire
land should be held in peonage by Eng
land. The title won as part OF the
spoils of buccaneering raid in the dim
past have all been washed out by Irish
blood and Irish tears, and more and
more potential will grow the demand of
sIreland for Irishmen." England
would save infinite trouble and ex-
pense to heed the cry at once.

EDUCATIONAL DEDICATION.
The Congregational Church DedI-
Gates Its New school House.

Yesterday was red letter day for Con-
gregational work in the Tenth ward, for
it witnessed the dedication OF fine New
West Education Commission three
roomed school house and chapel, located
on the corner OF Fifth South and Seventh
East streets, 5lx5l feet, of brick and
adobe, and costing, with furniture, So, 800.
1t is safe to say that no structure in the
Territory is more complete or better fitted
for the uses designated than this. And,
best OF all, it was imperatively demanded
by the needs of the work in that section
OF the city. The old building had long
since been altogether outgrown, and the
school, with Miss Grace f.. Gilbirth and
Miss Susan Merrill as teachers, had risen
far above 100, and the Sunday school was
almost as large
At 80 p. m, the three rooms, thrown
into one, were fairly packed with nearly
400 Sunday school scholars from the
Tenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth wards,
who engaged in pleasant exercises, CON
sisting OF, singing and reCitations by the
children. Addresses We're made by
Rev. A. b. PEBBLES, formerly in
charge OF mission work in this city,
Rev. G. h. Bliss, secretary of the COM
mission, Superintendent d. l.. Leonard
and Isaac lluse, Jr, In the evening an
interested audience fully as large as
sembled to join in the dedication exer-
cises. A choir OF girls sang several
pieces and Rev. Alex, Monroe, mission
AIRY in charge, preached Revs. Trial,
Leonard and Bliss spoke briefly, and
Rev Mr., PEBBLES offered the dedicatory
prayer, and finally, under the lead Of
Mr.. Monroe, a successful attempt was
made to raise 500 to finish the payment
on seats, organ, lamps, etc. At the Con-
gregatiOnal Church in the morning an
imprOmptu collection Of 500 had been
taken, the children had added SlO.4O in
the afternoon, and the balance was soon
secured by subscriptions and collection.
Sums from $40 downward were pledged
by not a few.
The history OF the school work which
eliminated yesterday goes back some six
years, and began in a rude structure then
standing just east Of the Methodist acad-
envy, and which the ladies of the Con-
gregational Church furnished at cost Of
1900, After year it was removed to the
southeast corner OF Third South and
Third East, and was taught by Miss
Annie Shephardson until its final removal
to its present location. Miss SHEPPARD
son, with rare devotion and heroism, CON
tlnued in charge until within a few weeks
OF her much-iamented death, and was
followed for a year by Miss Matte Wins
low, now OF the Nineteenth ward free
school.

MINING NOTES.
COmstOcks Firm and Advancing
items of Interest From va
rIous Quarters.

San Francisco papers OF the 18th inst.
speak of the continued advance in the
whole list of the Comstocks. Alta and
Justice stocks have rapidly advanced,
notwithstanding the assessment on the
former falling tomorrow.
Ophir sold on the 10Th inst. at $S.12la,
Mexican 1915, Curry $2.65, Consolidated
California $40, Best & Belcher $3.50,
Savage 81 80 and Norcross 81. 80. Out

and in demand.
The wheat market at San Francisco is
under an improvement in both the Eng
lish and Eastern markets. Prices OF
choice wheat ranged from 81 40 to 81 .4219.
The Wood River Times says: Work
on the Camas No. | and Fraction mines,
on the Gold Belt, is temporarily discon-
tinued, until some details of the working
bond can be arranged. If the claims
continue to improve during the next two
months as they have the past few weeks,
| Messrs Groesbeck and 1sador Morris, OF
Salt Lake, the bonders, will doubtless
purchase them on the expiration OF the
bond.
The growth OF population in the Cnur
| d'Alene district has been remarkable.
Murray and its surrounding towns have
a population of 2,000 while the Warder
district has some 900, a total for the
Cnur d. Alene OF 5000.
The Park Record Of the 18th inst, says :
"The Crescent tramway was closed down
most of the week on account OF the snow
storm"
A typographical error made us state
last week that the Ontario mill was shut
down to repair some broken shaftng and
that all was now running like q charm,
etc. 1t should have been the Marsac in
stead OF the Ontario. All is o. X. at the
mills now.
Developments on the vein encountered
last week in the Apex lower tunnel de-
monstrate that large body OF fine ore is
at hand to reward the pluck and perse,
verence OF the Apex folks.
One of the large new pumps for the
Anchor mine has arrived, and the Others
are expected daily. From now on,
effective work, in the way of relieving the
mine OF water, can be accomplished.
Pay-days infused new life into the camp
this week.
The Marsac mill was closed down {
few hours to-day, in order to make con
nections with the water wheel to be
placed in the new shops adjoining the
mill.
During the week the Crescent shipped
$4,000 pounds OF concentrates no first
class ore.
For the week ended yesterday tn,
Macintosh sampler received 239,03
pounds OF Ontario ore and 81, $50 pounds
OF DAILY ore; total 76,2l0 pounds.
The output OF DAILY bullion from the
Marsac mill was 7 bars on the 10th inst.
containing 1874 fine ounces OF silver, ant
tomorrow the shipment will be bars.
The usual shipment of Ontario bullion
will be made in day or two.
The Elkhorn Mining Company paid

Saturday was very, very quiet mar
ket day. Why, is hard to tell. The
only thing to break the monotony OF the
tranquiIlitudinous appearance of the
streets was score or two of potato
wagons.
There are still 4 number of hunting
parties out in the mountains.
On Sunday afternoon the funeral SER
vices over the remains of Nellie, the
3-year-old little daughter of Mr.. j. and
Mrs. NJ. Spargo, were held, Rev. Josiah
McClain, OF the Presbyterian Church,
officiating, The COrtege to the cemetery
was quite long. Deep and sorrowiul will
be the mournlul memory Of the departed
darling, whose angelic form will always
fit and hover about the domestic hearth.
1t is not yet too late in the day to state
that the twelfth anniversary ball of the
Masons in this city, given on Friday
evening last, was an immense success
and an intense enjoyment for all who
partook in that pleasant gathering, where
sociability OF the highest order ruled
supreme. At this late date it would be
too inyidious to try and specialize, but il
is neither out Of tune nor time to state
that julius Kiesel, assisted by VIM.
Studer, managed to make the inner man
rs comfortable as well cooked and ele-
gantIy displayed viands could make him.
In short, it was an immense success, the
best ever seen or known in Ogden.

The picture is that of a prehistoric mons.
Ter Of some sort. looking more like a bear,
perhaps, than like any other modern crea-
ture.
s. E. Tillman, the writer in Science, says:
The extreme length Of the picture is at
least seven feet. The cliff is composed Of
brownish-red sandstone the picture at the
surface is of a much darker color, which
color gradually passes into the uniform
color of the rock at a distance Of two and a
half or three minutes from surface, as
shown by de achable fragments. Copies of
the photograph we re sent at the time it was
taken to Professor Joseph Henry, Professor
Dana, and to Darwin. Professor Henry
asked, 'Can it be anything else than a work
of Indian artF' Professor Dana thought the
color due to iron stains, and the outline ac-
cidental. Darwin hesitated to express an
opinion, but dissented from Professor Dana.
Col. Kendrick, formerly professor at the
military academy, expressed the same
opinion as did Professor Dana.
The figure is remarkably distinct and
well defined for the result of accident; but,
if Professor Henry's idea be rejected, there
seems no other explanation.

This amusementis very popular tho present
winter, wherever there are at once snow and
bills to slide down. 1t is not really very
different from the old-fashioned sliding down
nil upon a sled, that we were all familiar
with when we were young ones, but it has
been taken up by the fashionable people
now, and Of course there must be special
patterns Of sleds and costumes.
The word itself is Indian. The amuse-
mant was borrowed from the Indians by our
Canadian friends, thence imported, without
paying duty, into the Estates" A long
sled, q slide, fiat upon the bottom. without
runners, is made Of some strong, light wood.
1t has a narrow rail to cling to, and a high
front, curled over backward, to keep the
snow and wind from striking the fun seekers
too powerfully. Ten or a dozen persons
mount this odd vehicle, one behind the other,
and slide down a long hill at a fearful
velocity sometimeI
Ladies wear their toboggan dresses quite
short, coming only to the ankles, the skirts
narrow and skimp, so as not to be in the
way, tapping about and catching into
things, so also as not to be heavy in walk
ing. Here is a description Of the toboggan
costumes:
Toboggan coats and jackets are made of
colored blankets of great warmth, with
double breasted fronts, and the blanket
border around the lower edge for trimming.
A pointed hood with a border Is attached
for ladies and children, but gentlemen wear
a knitted wooden cap in preference. A
wide belt or q f%anciful sash is added, and
the bordered skirt Of the dress worn by
ladies with short jackets is laid in broad
kills plaits. Bright blues and s~carlets are
tho favorite warm colors. Moccasins and
ribbed wool stockings complete the costume
