RattIesnake Poison.

The Indians were the first to pnt the
poison of the rattlesnake to any u.s..
They soon discovered the seat OF the
poison in these deadly reptiles, and they
quickly made use of their knowledge by
poisoning the heads Of their arrows with
the fluid that tho snake carries around
SO abundnntly in one of its fangs. 10
get tho poison out. however, required
some ingenuity on the part Of the red
men, but they were equal to the oc
casiOn.
When rattlesnake was discovered,
one Of the Indians would approach IT
from behind, and pin it to the earth
with crotchcd stick. The snake caught
in this way would soon become violently
angry, and the poison would be gcner-
rted rapidly in its fang. The liver Of
an antelope or deer would then bc placed
within reaching distance Of the lnfurl.
atcd creature. The snake would smell
the fresh meat. and snap Mt it furiously,
leaving some of the poison IN the liver
each time. When the reptile became
tired Of this work, one of the Indians
would tickle and torment it with n small
switch, until it would again bite the
liver. In this way all the poison would
be extracted from the RATHER. The snake
would then he killed. and the liver taken
up ON sharp stick to be dried in the
sun.
The liver would be rocking with poison
when picked up, and its color changed
from n bright red to II dark, inky hue.
In half an hour the sun would dry it
sufficiently for use. and then the arrows
of the Indians would be plunged into
tho poisonous substance. BY merely
pricking the hand with one oi the arrows
after this, almost sure death would re-
suit. These arrows were kept very care
fully for war, and never Used except
against an enemy.

TIE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

Last week General Secretary Hayes,
of the Knights of Labor, forwarded to
the J elbow fever sufferers in Jackson
vile a check for 81 900. This does not
look as if the order were in desperate
stratus, as some of its enemies have re
ported concerning it during the past
few months. Indeed, Mr.. Hayes being
interviewed in reference to these sto-
ries Of bankruptcy, says they are rank
fctions, as dues were promptly paid
and the salaries of the executive officers
were not in arrears. The fact is, the
organization has been so well man tagged
lately that some of the other labor or
CARNATIONS are jealous of it, and would
like to inspire further internal quarrels
such as came near wrecking the order
some time ago. It is probably true
that the membership of the Knights of
Labor is less than it has been, but it is
equally true that the order is strong r
to-day as an association than it
ever was before. Those who have left
the order comprised largely the dis.
turbing and disintegrating element-the
malcontents who could not be content
unless engaged in fault-fnding and
strife. The men who became Knights
for the achievement of the legitimate
purposes of the organic ltion are
Knights to-day, end enj 'ying the bere-
fits of one of the best LABOR organizl-
tions ia its aims and objects ever
formed. Many of those who undertook
TO use the Knights for other than yro-
pe- purposes, are out of the order b.
cause they failed to carry matters /
their way.

THE REPORT presented to the Council
last evening by the com mittee On
sewerage, makes plain some matters
concerning which the property-owners
were in doubt. We refer especially to
the proposed plan for the disposal of
the sewage, and to the cost of the main
sewer. 1t is the intention of the Coun.
Gil to carry the sewage over Jordan and
use it for the reclamation of the waste
land. This will be much more satisfac
tory to the public than the scheme for
dumping the filth into the river to be
carried to the lake or lodged in the
swamps which lie between the city and
the lake. The committees report will
be valuable to the property-owners in
District No. 1, who can now vote more
intelligently on the proposition to tax
themselves for sewers.

ANOTHER BLUNDER.

Blaine has again put his foot into
it," metaphorically speaking. Since
his return from Europe he is prone to
this sort of gymnastics. This time he
has openly assailed the female poll
ticians, and of course has aroused the
ire of Anna Dickinson and her admir-
ers 1--WE presume Anna has admirsrs).
of Belva lockwood and others of strong
minds and superior lungs. Last week
Mr.. Blaine chatted freely to a reporter
in New York, and part of his converse
ton was on the subject of petticoats in
politics, and the man from Maine spoke
his mind just as if his party were not
paying woman $205 month to roam
about the country and from the stump
blackguard President Cleveland and
praise Gen raj Harrison. Blaine said
frankly:
Miss Anthony is smart lady, but there
are other and better investments for her
talent. I do not like to hear lady address
body of men, and l never listen to one
w
a speaker she may be, it does violence to
my ideas of woman 10 see her on the plat
form. have no objection to see her work
ing for her party provided she does it in
the nome circle, and use her parlor for con
version if need be-
al object to women in political field for
the reason that they are untitled for that
kind of work, not only mentally, but
physically. They have not had the train
ing, and they cannot get it and retain their
womanliness. Mentally they are unable to
hold body of politicians, and physically
they have not the voice or the Uratorical
power of speech, I guess / have heen in
tiicted by nearly all the ladies in the buSi-
ness at one time for another, but some way
the glamour of Womanly loneliness takes
wings When the rhetorical and physical
pounding necessary to hold meeting be
gins. do not like it."
1t will now be in order for Miss Anna
to demand that Blaine be called in, and
in the event of a refusal to comply to
US e her persuasive and oratorical pow
ers to set the women against the
Plumed knight. Plainly, under the
circumstances. Mr.. Blaine has been
guilty of an indiscretion in this matter
and he and his party must suffer il
consequence.

JOINING TIE PROCESSION.


The "fops" of Republicans to Cleve-
land are coming so thick and fast as to
amount almost to stampede. The
Democratic papers in the west daily
contain long lists of the names of men
who have been prominent in the G. o.
?, who have joined the procession and
are marching under the banner of
tariff reform On the other hard the
Republican organs now and then an
nounce that "a prominent Democrat
has come out for Harrison, but the
name is rarely gwen Among the
leading Republicans who are taking an
active part on tas Cleveland side in
this campaign, is DR.. Jordan, President
OF the State University of Indiana, who
up to the adjournment of the Chicago
Convention never dreamed of being
anything but Republican. The free
whisky and The protection planks were
more than he could swallow. Professor
Lind, of the DauviiIe Qndiana) Nor
NAL College. heretofore pro-
nounced Republican is also
out for Clsvelsnd and tariff reform
He says it would be most disastrous tc
the country were the Chicago platform
to be the guide for national admins
tratioD. Another influential Republic
cdn who dares to be honest in defiance
of his party is Editor Nagle, of tn,
Cloverdale (Ind.) Herald, which he
been the Putnam County organ of tn,
party. The other day Mr.. Maggie pub
llshed at the head OF his editorial col
umns the following: I'm 1884 cas-
my first vote for the nominee of tn,
Republican party, James g. Blaine
because of his declarations in favor of
| lair and just revision OF the tariff laws
but this time our ballot will certainly
count one for the great Democratic
standard-bearer aud tariff reformer
| Grover Cleveland, who is a true friend
OF the people, and his official acts dur
ing his administration are evidence
that he is honest, capable and able to
guide the affairs OF the natIou."
In view of the rush to the Cleveland
standard, it seems almost a pity that
the election is only a month distant.
All the discontinued Republicans will
not have time to get undsr cover be-
fore the deluge descends.

THAT HEGIRA.

The New York Sun is not in the
habit of going off wrong" in discuss
ing Mormon matters. 1t is one of the
comparatively few newspapers which
has manifested a disposition to be fair
and reasonable in the treatment of the
Mormons and the problem" which
they have presented. But in the Suns
editorial remarks on the alleged con-
tempIated removal by the Saints to
Mexico, our esteemed contemporary
departs from its usual course and in
dulges in a vein OF meanness. Among
other things, the Sun says:
Now they have begun another migration
on act cunt or the anti pOlygamic laws
enacted by Congress, and this time they 80
out OF tho United SJ&tes to set up1helI re-
hglon in Mexico, in the Stare of Gninuahua,
where they have seen promised Protection
by the Mexican government, We lean BY
our dispatches that this movement from
Utah is assuming definite shape and large
proportions, and that they have purchased
tracts of land in the valley of Casas Grande,
where they propose TO engage in farming
aud city building. There is rejoicing smoug
the "Gentlles" of Utah over;the departure OF
the Saints" who carry their baleful and
barbarous social institutions along with
them, but it is more than likely that they
Will soon get into trouble with the Mexican
authorities on account of their institutio is.
The Sun has been mislead by the COL
respondents, notably its own stationed
in Washington, who elaborated on the
cock-and-bull story of hegira. which
on this occasion had its birth further
west. The Mormons have not set up
another migration, and are not going
out of the United States to set up their
religion; they have not been promised
"protection" by the Mexican Govern
ment, and the movement" is not assum-
ing large proportions. In fact none of the
Sans statements is true. AS to the re-
joicin@among the Gentiles of Utah over
the departure of the Saints, that is the
veriest rot ald would be if there were
departure" Some Gentiles of Utah
may not like the Mormons, but there
are not many Gentiles here who would
not grieve over general movement by
the Saints from the Territory. The
Gentiles who like to fight the Mormons
like to do it at short range. They all
understand that removal of any con-
siderable nun Der of the Saints would
be serious blow to the development,
welfare and prosperity of Utah, for
whatever may be said Of their religion
Mormons are everywhere recognized as
a very good kind of people to have in a
country.
Our esteemed contemporary may rest
its soul in peace over this matter of the
Saints going into Mexico or elsewhere.
Utah is a pretty good place for them,
and they are not the kind of people who
make bad bargains to please their
enemies.
