THE HERALD cannot say that it viii
be a merry Christmas for all its read
ers. Joy has departed from some
Utah households, and sadness and sor-
row touch many hearts. The same
spirit Of persecution which subjected
the Savior 10 abuses, fortunes ana
finally to death on the cross, has he'd
SWAY in this Territory, and the result
is seen in scores Of men suffering i'm
prisonment for conscience sake, in wives
deprived of the support and companion
ship of husbands, in children denied
the care and attention OF fathers. and
in wide spread misery. Such pleasure
as many will derive from Christmas
will come from the consciousness Of
duty performed. of faithfulness TO the
Christ who endured even more than
they are enduring, end suffered deeper
than they are suffering. These perse-
cuted people will be happy, however
in spite of what is being done against
them; they will be happy on this Christ
mas day, for they will recognize IN II
the anniversary of Him who gave item
courage to suffer, and made it possible
for them to endure.

The year in Utah has brought its Joys
and It's sorrows, its pleasures and its
pains, its tIiumphs and its defeats. The
good and the evil, the trials and the en-
joyments have been interpreted as IN
years gone by; and while tears will dim
some eyes, and The boisterous JOY viii
crate harshIy on some ears, the pre-
dominating spirit Of the day will be one
of brightness rather than OF gloom
sunshine will be more prevalent than
clouds; joys will be more plentiful than
sorrows. Material prosperity and ply
steal and moral health have been with
the people, If sorrow has stricken many
of their hearts.

The Cutting Case.

The war feeling is high in Texas, and
the Mexican Press is busy indicating the
action taken in the arrest, trial and con-
viction of Cutting. Authorities on inter
national law and Mexican law are cited
by the column to show that what has
been done is sustained by both. The fol-
lowing are the latest dispatches of inter-
est:
DENVER, Coll, August 1O.-An FL Paso spe-
cial to the Associated Press says: During the
afternoon Editor Cutting was called before the
Court and notified that he had been granted an
appeal to the Supreme Court of Chihuahua and
that the lawyer who had been officially assigned
to his defense had forwarded the necessary pa
pers in the case. He also fears that he will be
assassinated as soon as he leaves Paso del NOrte,
and the Mexicans will give as an excuse that ne
tried to escape. 1t is learned that Cutting sent
the following telegram 10 Gov. Ireland last eve
ming: AS citizen of the State of Texas, ask
of you the protection that my friends assure me
you can and will extend to me-" This despatch
was sent against the urgent advice of Consul
Brigham, and it is the first time that Cutting has
failed to follow implicitly the suggestions OF the
Consul who thinks that at the present juno
ture dispatches are i'll advised.
DALLAS, Tex, August 10.-At four O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, telegram passed through
here from an official at Washington to an Off
cial at Ell PasO, which read as follows: Sccre-
tary Bayard has just made final demand upon
the Mexican Government for the immediate re-
lease of Cutting" When this despatch was
buletned it created the liveest interest

The name of Hon. R. II. M. Davidson,
who ten years ago captured the First
Congressional District of Florida from
the radicals, is again at the mast head of
the FLoRIpIAN. 1t was placed there by
authority Of the Convention whose dele
gates represented the democratic voters
of the district, and in the coming cleo
ton, as in the five preceding, these vo-
tiers will sustain at the polls the decision
of their nominating representatives The
dissatisfaction engendered in the canvass
for the nomination may be considered but
a family difference, and it is to be hoped
that in the campaign the democracy of
the district will march shoulder to shout
der against the common enemy and sup
port Mr.. Davidson with the hearty good
will so we'll expressed by Mr.. Mallory,
his generous competitor for the nomina-
ton. Indeed no good democrat can de-
sert his colors, especially after he has
consented to abide the action of a Con-
vention. The integrity and ability of
Mr.. Davidson are not to be questioned,
and if he has not succeeded in accom-
plishing all that was demanded from him
it is perfectly safe to say that very few
Congressman have been enabled to do
more for their people. This is proved by
the very Insignificant percentage Of bills
introduced in Congress that are finally
passed, and close examination of the re-
cord would show that there is fully as
much success to the credit of Mr.. David
son as to the average of membership.
Circumstances favoring them, members
of less ability than Mr.. Davidson see
their measures succeed, and the next ses-
sion should be the fullness of time in
which those that he has steadily advo-
Gated will have their fruition. Some peo-
pie expect everything of Congressman,
but those who appreciate the difficulties
in the way are thankful if anything for
their benefit is accomplished by the eff
forts of one member of the great body of
men who are striving for competing
claims from all parts of this vast country.
Few have had better luck than Mr.. Da-
vidson-we say luck" for the chances
of bills introduced in Congress, as a
whole, are little more certain than those
of lottery tickets. Let the Democracy
resolve to send Mr.. Davidson back to
complete bis work with larger majority
than ever behind him, and thus the party
will be kept in line and discipline, and
maintain its strength for future battles.

WASHINGTON, August 5-The south wing of
the capitol was unusually quiet during the day
The attendance of the members was small and
the crowd that in past years filled the galleries
during the closing hours of the session was alb.
sent. 1t was observed that when the message
was received announcing that the President had
approved The river and harbOr bill, there was an
exodus of members from the floor, and those
who remained spent the time in peasantries and
farew ell greetings.
PrOfiting by experience Of past years the speak
or notified the keeper of the house restaurant
early in the day that the sale of intOxcant IL
quors wond not be permitted So the thirsty
members and visitors to the house satisfied their
thirst with lemonade and other mild beverages
The object of the leading Senators through
out the day was to prevent any questionable leg
iSlation, and the plan resorted to for that pur
pose was. in the first place, to interpose objec-
tons to requests for unanimous consent, and in
the second place, to suspend business by TAX
ing recess. Outside of the passage of a couple
OF bills removing political disabilities, and a
bill to relieve some Michigan soldiers from the
disgrace of dishOnerable discharges, no bust
ness was done. There were one or two fruit
less attempts to get in resolution for extra paw
for congressional employees. When Senator Ed.
munds was about to start for the White House
in company with Senator Harris and the house
committee he enjOined on few Senators to OBJ
ject to everything in his absence and his iniunc-
ton was faithfully observed
The only tendency to an unpleasant NANTES
tation in the closing hours of the session was
Senator Riddlebergers objection To the usual
resolution of thanks to the presiding officer, but
Senator Hawley, who was in the chair, stretch
ed point and declared the resolution adopt
ed unanimously, in total disregard of Senator
Riddlebergers demand that there must he a
quorum voting There were probably not more
than thirty Senators present at any one time du-
ring the day, and the galleries were Just as Slim
ly occupied as the floor was

The will of Samuel J. Tilden was
opened last Monday. The estate is worth
about five million dollars, and Hon. John
Bigelow, Andrew II. Green and George
w. Smith are named as executors and
trustees and vested with large discretion
ary powers. The relatives of the de-
ceased are well provided for by incomes
to be derived from about one-third Of the
estate, and the residue is to be devoted to
educational and charitable purposes.
Free libraries are to be established in the
testator's native town of New Lebanon
and at Yonkers; also in New York city,
if the trustees deem it advisable. Mr..
Tilden's living relatives are his sister,
Mrs. Mary B. Pelton, who lives with
Mrs. Laura A. Hazard, No. ss West
Thirty-eighth street, and the children of
his brother, Henry Tilden, of New Leba-
non, Columbia county, who are the fol-
lowing: George H., Samuel j., and Mrs.
Swan, all of New Lebanon; Mrs. Whit
tlesey, of Florence, Wis, and Miss Susie
and Miss Ruby, who live with their
mother at Greystone.
Mrs. Cleveland, the wife of the Pres
ident, has taken advantage of her new in.
Auence in most praiseworthy way. She
has started in Washington a move
ment for the benefit of poor children
who cannot afford any time in summer
outside of the capital. Washington is an
intensely hot city and is full of poor, ILL
cared-for children. To give them week
or two in the country is the ipleasing
charity which Mrs. Cleveland is at pres
ent supporting. There is no more worthy
use OF money and influence in the wide
field of charity than that which unostenta-
tiously seeks to relieve the poor of some
of the sufferings q crowded city always
brings in summer.

Judge Holman the Indiana Go,

Judge Holman, the Indiana Con-
gresham, thinks that the Democratic
party has been strengthened by the work
Of the session. He says: "The public be-
lieves that the President is honest in his
intentions to make good administration
for the people, irrespective of party.
The frankness with which he has dealt
with the subjects referred to would imply
that he is not designing and scheming for
second term. He is unquestionably re-
sspected throughout the country for his
honesty of purpose"

The visitor to Tallahassee ever mus
that one of the strongest appeals for his
admiration is made by the surrounding
scenery. He is in the arena Of grand am
phitheatre, its enclosure being the handi-
work of Nature in her kindliest mood.
His outlook to the country through the
vista of any street opens view of beauty
green hill sides, SUBMITS covered with
groves of lofty trees, and lovely valleys
nesting between-all shut in by the con-
tinuous wall of horizon of wooded
heights in the distance. On none of the
views does the eye linger longer, nor return
to more lovingly, than that southeast of
the city, where the ground rises gradually
from the valley traversed by the railroad
and attains noble elevation, crowned by
a grove in which once stood a mansion
that was the home of two of Florida's
earlier Governors, who could look from
its porch upon the Capitol, about half
mile away This ground is choice por-
ton of the extensive property of Captain
p. Houstoun, who farms the broad acres
that his father did before him, and the
tract comes to the city boundary line.
Though feeling that attachment for the
property which springs from hereditary
possession and which is enhanced by its
excellence, the publc-spirited owner has
concluded to open it tor the occupancy
OF others, that homes may be founded on
.nls puruIon VI Tie rlcn pasture land
where now Craze the pedigreed cattle of
his "Lakela I'd Stock Farm 80 named
because of several lovely lakes on his do
main, one of which borders the tract
whereof we speak The surveyor is now
at work laying off this tract in blocks,
and more charming sites of residence may
not be imagined, for the view commands
the city near at hand, and a clear outlook
to the west with its glorious sunsets-and
those who have ever seen them through
the pure atmosphere of this region know
their wondrous beauty; to the south,
vision reaches across the pleasant country
of hill and dale until it rests upon the
blue fringe of pines on the shores of the
Gulf. twenty miles away.
The land of this southeast addition to
Tallahassee is laid off in blocks of FIVE
acres, an acre and quarter to the lot,
making each one corner lot, and much
of it is as near to the business part of
Tallahassee as are many situations that
are within the present corporate limits of
the city 1t is few minutes walk from
the railroad depot, and though beyond
the railroad it will be reached without the
objection Of traversing the track, for the
cut will be bridged at the street cross
ings. The land is very fertile and the
ample size of the lots will afford to the
houses the surroundings of flower, fruit
and vegetable grounds. The brief sketch
that we have given OF the property will
afford readers abroad some idea of those
advantages which are recognized by
| everybody hereabouts, and who will
concede that it cannot be adequately de-
scribed in print, but must be seen and
inspected to be appreciated. A name has
not yet been given to this addition to
Tallahassee, but Leon Heights p" is sug-
gested, as including the name of the
county and designating the elevation of

that are found killing seals on the open
sea miles away from the Alaskan islands
or coasts, is question which is likely to
lead to discussion between our own and
the British government.
The killing of fur seals and the valuable
sea otter in the waters of the Pacific is an
industry which Is quite actively pursued
from Victoria, British Columbia, several
steamers and fleet of schooners being
engaged in the business. The temptation
to pursue their game into the more north
ern seas is naturally alluring, anu unless
we can establish clear right TO exclude
them from the Behring sea they may give
us trouble, particularly while the right
to catch fish off the coast of British North
America is in dispute.
