Dana's Opinion of Scissors.

In editing Il newspapera pen is neccs-
sary article; so is a pencil, inasmuch as
it may at times be more convenient than
a pen to write with. A pair of scissors is
also necessary. But what is most neces-
sary is brains. Next to brains in value /
estimate what we call the newspaper in
stinct, the sense of what news the people
require and what discussion will be most
effective. Next after this come special
talent and general knowledge; and the
more knowledge, general and special, a
newspaper man has, the more useful he
will be.
But with all these gifts and graces he
will not accomplish much unless he
possesses Il sense OF humor and an I'M
compromising love OF truth and of the
United States Constitution.
a pair OF scissors, however, is not as
good rs pair OF moderate sized shears
and neither scissors nor shears can make

JOE COOKS PLAIN TALE.
A Violent DcnunciatiOn of the So
cial vices of the British
AristOcrIcy.

a Boston dispatch says that in his
regular Monday lecture the Rev. Joseph
Cook talked SO plainly that it created
scene. He described the recent London
expose as an explosion under the chief
hell gates of the world In the course Of
his remarks he said: 81 hope the day
will come when some pure American
actress will refuse to take dinner on in
vitation OF the Prince of Wales" The APP
plause which followed this allusion was
punctuated by n distinct hiss from the
gallery. Mr.. Cook turned with an ex-
preston OF fury in that direction
and shouted: "Who is it here that de-
tends the position OF n spaniel of aristoc-
racy? Who is it here that expresses
himself in language belonging to one OF
the shallowest OF creatures and opposes
an effort to pluck innocent maidenhood
out OF the jaws OF that Minotaur OF re-
spectability which is rotten to the core d?
II any Englishman Kisses here"
middle-aged Englishman suddenly
rose and, pointing his finger at the
lecturer, said: "Mr. Cook, am here to
protest." But he got no further, for
the audience broke into round OF APP
plause. The man made two or three at
tempts to say word, but he was not
allowed to proceed, and he finally sat
down.
''If any Englishman Kisses here" CON
tinued Mr.. Cook in his severest manner,
''let him go home and tell his arstocrats
that we want nothing in America with
their contagious diseases acts [applausel,
and that we mean to join hands with all
friends OF genuine reform in putting the
laws concerning person and property on
the same level, Applause ask fol-
such reforms in religious and scientific in
struction as shall favor the pledge of the
White Cross league, ask, in the field
OF social custom, for early marriages and
for equal social penalties for men and
women. LApplause.l | ask, lastly, for
the execution of all the laws now on the
statute book, whether they affect men or
women, and | ask that the gilded saloon
and brothel and the liquor traffic on the

At the residence of Brigham II. Young,

Turned Over to Bishop ClawsOn

The Temple block, with the Tabernacle,
Temble, Assembly Hall, and all and sin
gular the Entertainments, etc., were to-day
decided over to FL. b. Clawson, if we have
been correctly informed. The property
was known to have stood in Bishop
Sharp's name for considerable time,
but for reasons best known to the Church
a change has been found desirable.
This move, of course, is in keeping
with the selling of the Church's
Coop stock, for which purpose Apostle
III. j. Grant and Junius +. Wells went to
California yesterday. Upon hearing the
news of the transfer OF the Temple stock
n gentleman suggested that Bishop
Clawson turn the Tabernacle into an
arena and employ Don Carlos Young,
Charlie Grow, and N. V. Jones to give
gladiatorial exhibitions.

The Fugitive APOSTLE.

The report that George Q. Cannon had
been seen going south more than weel,
ago turns out TO be pretty authentic. 1t
is said that such I'M rmation was received
in town last week, but for fear OF dis
closing the identit. li the informants
very little has been SAID about the mat
ter. The information expressed the
probability that Mr.. Cannon would prob
ably rendezvous in the st, George temple
him to resume his journey to Honduras.
Another rumor was heard to-day that
George q. had sailed Tor Liverpool last
Tuesday, and was now in mid-ocean, but
this is not believed very generally.

THROUGH A TRAP DOOR.
Deputies Capture An Experience but
no witnesses.

Deputies Franks and Smith had de-
cidedly romantic experience in the
Nineteenth ward this morning while pur-
suing the trail OF an Undergrounder.
They visited the residence, one OF them !,
of Henry Grow, the master mechanic ut
the Temple block, who is indicted for un-
lawful cohabitation, and had some diff
Guilty in gaining admission through the
ostentatious demurring of neighbor John
N. Pike. When they did get in, they
made the search thorough one,
Deputy Franks climbing n ladder
into the attic, where he made the
most complete explorations. While run
ming through the hooks and corners he
finally discovered another trap door, and
without any thought of the result, swung
himself down into the apartment below,
alighting on terrified female whom he
at first supposed was the object of their
search. After making the proper apology
he fastened TO his companion.
The party wanted is Mrs. Rawlings
Grow, the polygamous wife who has been
on the underground for some months.
The unhappy lady upon whom Deputy
Franks avordurois dropped with undue
suddenness imagined she had received
some heavenly visitation, but soon re-
gained composure. The deputies cap
tured nothing but the experience.

Daniel Webster's Plough.

On one occasion some Boston
friends sent Webster as present
an enormous. sized plough to use on
his place. Webster gave out word
that on a certain day it would be
christened. The day arrived, and
the surrounding farmers for miles
came in to witness the event. A
dozen teams with ariStOcratic Oc-
cupants came from Boston. 1t
was expected by everyone that
Webster would make great
speech Oh the occasion, revie ewing
the history of farming from the
time when Cincinnatus abdicated
the most mighty throne in the
world to cultivate turnips and cab
plough was brought 0ugE anu Jen-
yoke of splendid oxen hitched III
front. More than 200 people stood
around on the tip.toe Of expectar
tion. Soon Webster made his ap;.s
pearance. He had been calling
spirits from the Vastly deep, and
his gait was somewhat unsteady.
Selling the plough handles aud
spreading his feet, he yelled out
to the driver in his deep, bass
voice:
"Are you all ready, Mr.. Wright"
GAIL ready, Mr.. Webster" was
the reply, meaning, OF course, for
his speech.
Webster Strengthened himselfup
by a mighty effort, aud shouted:
"Then let her rip!"
The whole crowd roared with
laughter. while Webster, with his
big plough proceeded to rip up the
soil.-Belfast Me- Journal.

A Few Facts Concerning Waves.

Waves are very deceptive. To
look at them in d storm, one would
think the water travelled. The
water stays III the same place, but
the motion goes OH. Sometimes in
storms these waves are forty feet
high, and travel fifty miles an hour
than twice as fast as the
swiftest steamer. The distance.
from valley to valley IS generally
fifteen times the height, hence a
wave tiy. feet high will extend ov-
er seventy five feet of water. The
force of tue sea dashlng on Bell
rock is said to be seventeen tons
for each square yard.-Scientlfic
American. =.
