Innocence Abroad.

CoulHuu1CdteQ.I
Among the conference visitors to Provo
came fair and innocent school ma'am
from one of the inter-counties. In this
city lives relatives whom she had never
seen, SO that visit to them was made a
part OF the programme; and, accordingly,
after short stop-off at Provo, the rural
beauty proceeded on her way to the
metropolis, where she arrived the night
before last and where in all her life she
had never before BEEN 1t may also be
stated, to show the unsophisticated con-
dltlon OF her mind, that the railway train
which brought her hither, was the
hrst she had ever seen. On her arrival
at the Utah Central depot, a hackman
was summoned and directed to drive TO
No. - State Road, where the pedagogic
maiden fully anticipated finding an uncle
but, alas! the uncle had recently re-
moved to a farm five miles out in the
valley, and this sad mischance was NOT
discovered till the hackman had driven

The Bingham Junction Burglars.

John Kelly, Thomas Conner and John
Smith, the three burglars captured yes
terday by Officers Calder and Daniels
were brought to town last evening and
furnished temporary lodgings at the city
jail. During the evening Policeman A.
j. Burt was notified that there was a sus-
picious pair of individuals trying to cash
some checks, and the officer with an as
sistant was soon on their track. The
party found endeavoring to raise cash on
the checks is Robert McFarlane and he
informed the officers that he was doing
this for VIM. Kelly. Kelly was accord
ingly apprehended and along with McFar-
lane was taken to the City Hall. This
morning the parties were all arraigned
before Justice Piper and all but Nc
Farlane were placed under $500
bonds to await the action of the
Grand Jury. McFarlane pleaded not
guilty and will have an examination to-
morrow at 10 o'clock. Some of the

mMormons No Good"

The following paragraph is clipped
from an exchange, and tends to show
either that some villainous overtures
have been made to the Ute Indians OF
else that Nache is like some OF his pale
faced brethren-capable of improvislng
sensational stories for effect. We incline
TO the latter theory:
ga Lovelock correspondent of the Silver
State writes that Nache, the Piute Chief
says the Mormons have been endeavorine
to persuade the Ute Indians to go to wal
with the whites, and get all the tribes In
Colorado, Utah and Nevada to join them,
assuring them Mormon support. Nache
advised his people to pay no attention to the
Mormons, but mind their own business.
He says, Mormons no good; too many
women all the time.'"

A New Revelation.

A singular incident happened at the
Provo conference last Sunday, which
tends to show that there is a little op-
position in the Epistle business. While
the services were in progress the long
haired prophet of st. George, several Of
whose literary productions have found
their way into the hands of the public,
stepped up to the stand and handed
some paper to Apostle F. D. Richards.
1t is inferred that owing to the great
length of the other epistle this production
OF the eccentric prophet was
not read yesterday, and to-day several
circulars containing the following an
nouncement were placarded around the
street, and it is supposed that this is the
revelation which was SO shamefully
ignored at Provo by the Church authori-
ties. The Prophet himself resides at St.
George, and it is therefore probable that
he has special interest in real estate
there. Here is his revelation:

Joseph Arch In Parliament.

Almost everybody. says the Toronto
Globe, has heard of Joseph Arch. the
sturdy English farm-laborer and farm
laborers' friend and advocate. Few have
done more or SO much to stir the stag
nant masses of English rural labor.
Himself grown to manhood and married
before he learned to read. Arch has
sought unweariedly to raise his class,
both socially and intellectually. He
has induced many to learn to read He
has coaxed many away from the village
tavern. He has taught his fellows how
much strength there is in union, and
how much can be accomplished even by
the feeble if they work with will and
work all together. And now this
whilom serf. toiling TO support wife and
children on some "a week or less,
finds himself by the suffrages of the men
OF Norfolk n member of the proudest
and the strongest legislative assembly
in the world. And he is not alone.
Some ten or dozen labor representa-
tives are members of the lately-elected
British parliament, and they are all men
OF high character and marked intelli-
gence. Joseph Arch opposed Lord
Henry Bentinck, wealthy and infiu-
entail tory, who has as blue blood rs the
old servant of William iii. could trans
init to his descendants; but in spite OF
the blood, wealth. and influence of his
opponent Joseph Arch stood at the head
OF the poll by majority of $40.

Dakota Wheat.

Mr.. Dwight, the manager of the great
Dwight farm in Dakota. He has sc. 900
acres of land to till--one of the largest
tracts in Dakota or the country. / asked
him if the India wheat crops affected
Dakota, and was surprised at the prompt
answer in the negative. He explained
his reply by saying: THE wheat raised
in Dakota is harder than any wheat
that grows in quantities anywhere on
the face of the globe II will always
bring higher price than any other
wheat because it makes better -four. As
long as some men are richer than others
and will have the best Of everything
that money can buy, so long will Dako-
Ia wheat have the best Of every market.

Samples OF Irish Fun.

which had reference to document that
the defense cndcavored to show had
been signed when the prosecutor was
drunk. Under cross-examination the
following dialogue took place in court:

said the witness, and, meeting with no
answer, said

''Will you swear it was not temp"
A mute glance of appeal toward the
bench, and then came the answer: Il
will not swear"
Upon your oath, was it not fifteen?"
well, yes; it was fifteen"
Now, then. sir, ask you was it not
twentyp"
No, sir, it was not twentyp"
''Oh, oh" said the barrister. Here
is a gentleman who drinks two glasses
of sherry at dinner and admits having
had fifteen tumblers of whisky. and vet
is able to remember that he did not take
twenty. Now, sir. how do you recollect
it was not twenty?"
''Why, then. I'll tell you," and, turn

will remember, your honor, we were Mt

down stairs, said to you, i have had
