DE FAJAR DO.

Nos comunican de este pueblo
un hecho sumamente honroso
para ell benemerito cuerpo de la
Guardia Civil, y mas en- especial
para los individuos que con gra-
We riesgo de sus vidas 10 llevaron
a cabo, salvando la del nifo Al.
fonso Parrilla, expuesto 4 perecer.
He aqui como Sc detalla en- la
carta que nos 10 refiere.
Fajardo, Abril 16 de 1880.
Sr. Director del BOLErIN MER-
CANTIL.
Capital.
Estimado amigo milo: Sfrvase
publican en- lugar proferente de gu
peri6dico ell acontecimiento que pa
so a relatarle, que bien 10 merece.
HECHO EITRAORDIyARIO Y HGBOICO.
Ell sargento 10 de la Guardia Ci.
vii de este puesto, con dos guardias
mas, auxiliados pOr tres paisanos,
con her6ico esfuerzo y riesgo inmi-
nente de sus vidas loeraron salvar
de muerte segura al nino Alfonso
Parrilla, de II amos, sorprendido
entire dos corrientes del rio en- su
extraordinaria y poderosa avenida
de aver tarde.
Dicho sargento 10, sobre todos,
fue ell que con temerario arrOjo =
en- desprecio total de SUI existencia
hizo inauditos y sobrehumanos es-
fuerzos por salvar al inocente mu-
chacho, al extreme de que, arrolla-
do por impetuoso y poderosisimo
torrente, jinete en- soberbio Y mag
nifico caballo, fueron envneltos por
ell terrible elemento, y hubo mo-
mentos de tremenda augusta, al
yer desaparecer ell generoso y de-
cidido sargento de la Guardia Ci-
vii, creyendo, como era natural,
que la corriento hubiese arrastrado
con 6l. No sucedi6, por suerte,
asi, pues que pudo asirse milagro-
samente de la cola del caballO, q
quien, despues que a la Providen-
cia, debe su salvaci6n.
iLoor a esos benem6ritos Y va
lientes Guardias Civiles Y & sus
auxiliadores, q quienes ell pueblo
de Fajardo We con sentimientos de
profundisima admiration Y graft
tud, y para los que una pobrisima
y agradecida madre no tendra mas
que motives de bendici6n l.. :.
Salvado que fue ell nino, le lle-
varon al cuartel esos generosfsimos
guardias, y una vez ALI, le prestaron
toda clase de au1ilios, acostandolo
y abrigandoIo en- limpio catre y
prodigandole tambien toda clase
de cuidados y solicitud.
Bien por esa institution

sCURRILITT.

The members of the g. A. r. who re-
uuained in the city over Sunday and
attended the Mormon services in the
large tabernacle. and listened TO the eI-
ee!lent discourse of Elder John Morgan
or Mormon loyalty. and heard him so
ably present the sentiments and views
ol his people In relation to the govern
Rent Of the United States. will be. sur
prised at reading a report Of his sermon
j. yesterday mornings Tribune. A
namber of those visitors called upon
Elder MorgSa, and expressed the pleas
IRE they bad in listening to his dis
course, and could heartily endorse the
sentiments OF the Mormons towards the
government as explained by him. But
the Tribune's report Of the services re-
iers to Elder Morgan as a ''screamer" a
"yeritable dervish" "voluble lunatic"
and throughout gives q scurrilous &C
count Of the whole services, and con-
cludes by saying;
Mergan was really successful in keeping
his audience awaa e, and all the old ROSTERS
IN front looked calmly out over the great
tiOck of pullets and young hens in straw hats
and white dresses, many OF whom they be-
neved would in all PROBABILITY become
their concubines before long ana minister
20 their lusts.
The G. A. R. peoples surprise will
arise from the fact that such low down
cur as the fellow was who reported
those services. can still remain in the
country alive. Let any unbeliever in
Christianity go into 8 city where
twenty thousand Christians reside, and
attend their services where several
thousand OF them were worship
ms. and write up such re-
port of those Services as appeared in
yesterday mornings filthy issue of the
Tribune, and the seurrilous deg would
leave town rather. suddenly or be hung
BY 8 Justly indignant people. And if
there was a newspaper that hsbituslly
published such infamous reports OF
their worship Is the Tribune does Of the
Mormon services. itwould be more than
passing strange i: the crowd that pub
hshed the paper were not taught an
emphatic lesson in common deceDcy.
as well as the reporter.

A NAVY NOT NEEDED.

The Rochester Herald thinks il said a
clever thing when it said 1.-The Amsri-
can navy could lick the Persian navy
cut Of its boots, so to speak. The Skah
has never had a navy until recently,
and now he has two war steamers, one
OF which is described as good for moth
ing and the other mounts four Krupp
gins" There may be very keen hu-
NOR in such remarks, but thoughtful
people cannot help bat regard them as
childish. Certain editors are eternaily
harping on the subject OF a navy, and
bemoaning the fact that the UniteI
States make such a weak display Of war
vessels; but none of these faulthnders
has BEEN able TO mention any, use that
the republic has for e var navy. One
Of the most improbable things in the
world is that the United States viii go
t5ivar with any nation, and IL Is still
more improbable that this country will
come into violent collision with any Of
the naval powers. Certainly America is
not going TO Europe to fight anybody.
and it is not likely that anybody is COM
ing here to fight America, even II there
were a likelihood of dispute arising
which could not be arranged By arbi-
tration and weuld force war. A war
of any kind is not TO be apprehended.
and war calling for the service of a
powerful navy is simply out OF the
question. There is no more necessity
for an extensive navy than there is for
a large standing army al the use that
could be for eitAeryonld be to furnish
ways for spending money foolishly and
Increasing the taxes.

TO TEST BaHE LAW.

-H
In Chicago are the largest manufact-
urers Of oleomargarine, and other IR1ip
taHons of butter, and it is said they
have entered into . compact to test the
constitutionslity of the Congressional
law putting tax on the product. SUI
fcient money has been subscribed, and
the enforcement of the set will be re
sisted until the United States Supreme
Court passes upon its validity. Although
these manufacturers have asserted
their belief in the urconstitutionaiity
OF the law. and declared their intention
to fight it to the bitter end, We have
not heard that anybody has denounced
them. and declared they were disloyal
and without patriotism. That they
have not been. thus sssailed is probably
due TO the fact that the manufacturers
are not Mormons and do not live in
Utah. They and the community in
which they live think that every man
has the right to test the constitution
Atty OF any law, and that to make the
test is not an evidence Of dis
loyalty aad reasonable sentiment.
In this Territory il is different.
But il is 70 be hoped that the opposi-
tion'to the enforcement of the law will
be maintained. until the statute has
been declared invalid by power which
even Congress cannot defy. A good
many people, II not = majority of the
intelligent, thoughtful men of the ma
ton. DO not believe Congress kept
within It's authorized powers when il
passed the "bul-butter bill" The regu-
iation Of the matter certainly belongs
to the States, II there be any subject
upon which the Statesand not Congress
are entitled to legislste. IL Congress
can make a law regulating the manu-
facture of oleomarg arine and putting a
war tax upon the product, it can pass
law regulating the msnufacture Of
apple sauce and put a war tar on that:
it can prevent The staining of sun-dried
sdobes to give them the apppearance Of
burnt brick, and can do any other
thing which the Constitutions restricts

The kind OF information 90 with
which visitors to this city are stuffed
when they fall into the hands OF the
rGle or ruin clique or any Of their
underliDgs, may be judged BY the fol-
loving incidents:
A Kindly disposed gentleman and a
small party OF ladies and another
gentleman, visited the Mormon tithing
wards in this city. and began making

mons. IL was soon learned that the
gentleman had been. told that the
Mormon Church owned all the lands in
the Territory. and that the people
merely worked them for the Church,
and sent 10 the tithing offices through
out the Territory the major part OF the
fruits Of =, ir labor, and retained only
sufficient L. barely live upon. The
visitors appeared surprised to learn
that in the matter OF tithing it was
left 10 ever man TO Judge for himself

should withhold.
Another party was told that the
church in the early settlement of the
Territory secured all the land, and that
the Mormon people received the title to
their lands from the Mormon church;
and that whenever an obnoxious Gen
riIe was about 10 purchase farming land
OF city lots in Utah, representative OF
the church would inform him that the
man he contemplated buying OF was
not able to give good title to The prop
erty, as the church held the title, and it
would not dispose of the property; and
thus Genti,ts were prevented from SEA-
Ting in ;he country.
