with which he did it,

Among the number of speeches
made on the occasion, we quote q
very neat and eloquent paragraph,
as a specimen, from the remarks of
Gen. Agnus, Of the american, as fol-
lows
"Now, tonight, my friends, we
have assembled to do honor to one
of our faithful comrades, one who
has recently returned from the heat
of the battle, which he fought side
by side with our great chieftain--
James G.. Blaine, known to you as
the Plumed Knight, who appealed
to his fellow citizens as Henry OF
Navarro did, years ago, to his sol
diers. My men, said he,
when | advance follow me;
If fall, avenge me;
But, II falter, shoot mev
Thank God, there was no defeat ;
no faltering, and the great plume
waves gloriously at the front Of a
great victory, and tonight we do
honor to his best and ablest lieuten-
ant--the brave soldier who became
the useful citizen when the war was
over, the man whom we all respect
and esteem, and the Republican who
loves his party for its greatness and
its patriotism

CONTESTS.

The West Virginia legislature will
possibly have to meet and decide
several contests, both in the Senate
and the House, which may take up
considerable time from regular legis-
lative business. Already it is said,
that Mr.. Morris, Republican candi-
date for Senate in the second district
will contest the election of DR.. Yeater
Democratic candidate, on the ground
of illegal votes in Marion County.
If the alleged fraudulent votes are
excluded and Mr.. Morris thereby
seated, the Republicans will have one
majority on joint ballot. 1t is also
said that there will be several con-
tests for seats in the House. The
Senate without any contests, will
have one Republican majority.

A mushroom between two and three
inches long was gathered in La
Grange, Ca, recently. It's shape is
that Of the foot and leg of duck.
Turned over and viewed from beneath,
the foot is very similar to that Of a
human being, for it is broad, with the
toes distinctly defined.

presents, and what bungling business
many of US make of it! Not few de-
prive themselves of fully half the plea
sure of giving because they don't know
what to give, and make themselves pos
itively miserable by the inappropriate
ness of their gifts. 1t is easy enough to
satisfy the smoker with box of cigars
or an artistic pipe, and the little ones
are not troublesome, because candies,
toys and pretty books are always to
their mouths and hands. But what is
the young man to give to the young
lady on whom he has no intentions, and
in whom he doesn't want to inspire
any2 He mustn't give her something
expensive, for that would be suggestive
of designs on her in sense closer than
friendship; he dare not send her any
thing cheap and tawdry, for that would
indicate stinginess or contempt What
will he do? The church-going young
lady will not worry as to her pastor;
she'll send him slippers, knowing at
the same time that dozen other young
ladies are also giving slippers; slippers
are the pastors lot; he expects them
though he doesn't know what to do
with them-and would feel sighted
if they did not pour in upon him.
But what will the young lady
| give to her best beau? is the problem
which keeps her awake nights and
wrinkles her brow. The husband
knows the dining room is in need of a
new carpet, but he would feel like q
thief or a forger if he undertook to
make the carpet serve as Christmas
present for his wife. And yet he
knows she will think him reckless and
unthrifty if he spends money which he
cannot afford for something for her
which she can get along very well
without. 1t just answers the purpose
to send a ton of coal or a sack of -four
to the poor widow over the way, blu,
what can you give to your companion
and best friend that will satisfy YOU
and not set him to studying you fol
motivesP:
The problem is most serious one
and it must be solved right now; you
can't put it off till next month, or mex
week. THE HERALD doesn't propose tc
tell you all how to solve it: if we were
70 attempt to do so, the probabilities
are we would make as bad a mess of il
as the fellow with the best of intentions
did when he sent his lady love pair Of
nine-button kids three sizes too large
for her. All THE HERALD has to advise
is that nobody will deprive himself Of
the exquisite pleasure of making
Christmas presents, even though he
makes himself and his friends miserable
by his unwise and inappropriate selec-
tious,

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

The Christmas gifts will be largely
selected this week. 1t may be cruel to
say it, but it is nevertheless true, try as
individuals may to hide it, that there is
much sham, inconsistency, make be-
lieve and downright hypocrisy in
Christmas giving. However, it is not of
that we wish to speak. The act is full
of sweetness and good will. The GUS
tom itself calls halt in the mad race
for pelf in which We are all entered,
and gives US rest in money-getting;
that is to say, it does these things to the
average person, though we have heard
there are some SO mean and sordid that
Christmas cannot penetrate them with
its blessed influence. It is said that at
the time Christmas Carols" were first
published Dickens was fairly deiuged
with letters from people who took occa-
sion to inform him that his writings had
caused them to call to mind many per-
sons to whom they might send some
kind word or more substantial reminder
of the season. There is satisfaction
in giving at this time which comes on
no other occasion. You like to give
now, and best of all you like to give to
child, for you don have to consider
the price or intrinsic value of the gift,
for you know he will not take that into
account, and will not feel it his duty to
make you present of equal or greater
value on the first opportunity. You
know that he will not reason the matter
out and attribute all sorts of motives to
your act. You know that he will be in
nocently, hilariously happy over it, and
there are not many things in this world
more deliciously pleasing and joyful
thaa happy child. Then you like to
send presents to distant friends, and
ponder over the JOY it will give them to
receive visible proof of your loving
thoughtfulness. You like to give to
the poor, because you know how CRATE
full they will be. In fact, it is pleasure
which occurs at no other time, to give
now. If you are normal and right
minded, you can almost find it in your
heart to give to your enemy.

ROOM TO GROW.
A Liberal Offer From a Sanpete

W. S. McCOrnick, Esq, President Salt
Lake Chamber Of Commerce.:
Dear Sir-As the representative Of the
progress and prosperity of Utah, permit
ne to submit to you the following:
Utah vans more population to oc-
cupy its rural districts, provided suit.
able sites for homes can be found.
1 and my sons are farming on the
Sewer River, on what we have named
the Dover Bridge Farms. 1t is situated
at the northern end of the Sewer Val
ley, twenty-five miles south of Juab
station. All around is unoccupied land
of the finest arabic quality, both bench
and meadow. All that is required to
bring this to high state of cultivation
is fair share of brains and muscle.
Right here is plenty of room for a
thousand families. Abundance of
water can be permanently secured at a
comparatively small outlay in the con-
struction of reservoirs. For this pur-
pose nature has supplied easy facilities.
The land is open to entry.
1t company were incorporated for
the construction of reservoirs in this
and neighboring valleys I am sure it
would meet with great success and pay
handsomely, say, so to rs per cent. per
annum. From $4,000 to $1,000 would
build either of these reservoirs to water
5000 of 400 acres.
If you would interest any of our
representative men in this project it
would be great blessing.
and my sons, who are weil.posted as
to locations and constr lction, will be
pleased to take working stock in the
enterprise. eve have no cash capital.
although our farms, stock. etc., are all
unencumbered.) l am also sure that 1
could get many OF my neighbors to
take q proportion of working stock, if
they had a chance to work on the
reservoirs for cash, so as to keep their
families supplied.
Any further information you may re.
quire l will be only too pleased to give.
