The people of Salt Lake City are con-
templating the erection of a great salt
palace" 1t would be a structure that
would lay in the shade all the ice and
corn palaces ever constructed. The main
part of the structure could be of the
finest specimens of rock salt to be found
in the quarries, chiseled, carved and ar
tistically arranged, while the interior
fittings should be Of crystallized work
from the lake on grand scale. Such a
palace should be permanent if properly
protected from the winter rains; it could
be made Of the most unique and striking
style Of architecture; it could be made
one Of the wonders Of the world. When
lighted by electricity the structure would
have all the sparkle and diamond glitter
of the great ice palaces, and with the
difference in the salt palaces favor that
heat would not melt or dim its glories in
the lesst,-Virginia (NevadaJ Enterprise

The custom Of giving tips is of royal
origin. 1t was soon adopted by the no
bility, and then by persons who wished
to travel in regal splendor. Tips were
presumed TO represent the kind of con-
sideration due to persons in the lowest
walks of life from those of noble birth or
occupying exalted stations. The prac-
tee of giving them is entirely out of
place in this country. Here every person
is presumed 10 be equal in rank. We
have no privileged class and no servile
one. Nearly every one works for pay
and receives wages for his labor. De
handing ruS or showing resent
ment if they are not Voluntarily given is

The total amount of copper in the market of the world IS about ten thousand ton less than it has been at the corresponding time for three years, and the monthly pro- duction which is now very mater ially reduced by the great fire in the Calumet and Hecal mine, will nec- essarily be less for the winter months than 1t has been for some years. As natural consequence, the stock of copper on hand next spring will be very much less than it has been for three or four years, and strong market for copper may be expected for several nlnthos yet.-Epitaph.

The Prescott Courier calls the
 the attention of 'Hoof and Horn
 to the following in relation to law
 ful fences in the counties of Yava- pai and Apache.
 Section l. Section one of an act entitled "an act concerning lawful fences is merely amended so as to read as follows That all fields and enclosures shall be en closed with a fence sufficiently close composed ofposts and rails, posts and palings, posts and blanks, posts and wires, palisades, or rails alone, laid up in the manner com monly called a "worm fence," or turf with a ditch on each side, or wall of rock or stone four and one half feet high, or if posts and lum- Der, or pickets, or wires, five feet high. If made of rails or poles worm fence five feet and one-half feet high; if made upon the em- bankment of ditch, lawful fence shall not be less than five feet high from the bottom of the ditch; the ditch to be'not less than two and one-haif feet wide at the top, and in all cases the fence shall be two feet high from the top of the embank- ment of the ditch, and made so close that horse, mules or horned cattle cannot get their heads through it; posts and wire fences have at least four wires, the low est wire within eighteen inches of the ground, and the space between the wires shall not exceed fourteen inches, and the posts that support the wires shall not exceed twenty feet in distance apart said fences, in all cases, to be substantial. and reasonably strong. A lawful fence of hedge or brush shall be at least five feet high and sufficiently close to turn stock.
 The foregoing is the law now in force in the counties of Yavapai and Apache, and can be fouud on page 18-acts of the eleventh leg assembly.

The Reavis claim to a large DOT
 ton of Arizona Territory, which
 crops up again every few, months,
 is one of the most impident frauds ever attempted to be perpetrated
 on a community. It has been de- clared such By eve,y responsible person who has examined 1t, includ- ing the United States Surveyor General, six years ago, when Rea- wis first advanced this claim, he said he had bought it from man named Willing, of St. Louis, who it was asserted, was the assignee, of Peralta, the supposed grantee. At the time, the absurdity of the claim was thoroughly ventilated in the territoral press. Finding he could make no headway in this direction, he next cropped up as the husband of person who is asserted to have inherited the claim, and who is now about to proceed to Washinton to assert her rights" The foundation upon which this claim is based is so palplbly fraudulent that it is wonder that the persistent adven- turer can still succeed in arousing public attention. When in Arizon- ma some years ago, he exhibited among other papers, photograph of a document purporting.to have been signed by the King of Spain, d century ago, the said document being printed in the most modern of lightfaced, clear-cut type. A bout the same time, the entire pos sessions of the "baron ofthe Colo rado" were offered at SherifIS sale, in Florence, Pinal county, to sati8 fy an unpaid hotel bill. The pro- perty was bought in by the hotel keeper, who still, holds it.-L. A Times.

In 2 quiet cross town street I lit.

In quiet cross town street a lit
 tie sidewalk audience was gathered
 the other morning watching a Chin
 csc juggler perform some extreme
 ly delft teats in the uncompromisine
 publicity of the open air. The iuggler was q gray old chap with 2
 foxy face and a cunning eve. He had few hairs on his upper lip and a few on his chin that bristled out like the whiskers of a cat. He wore his native dress, or such ap- proach to 1t as We are accustomed to see here, and his only apparatus was contained i'll little hand sach- el made out of woven reed. His tricks were simple, consisting main ly of feats of palming, at which he was wonderfully expert. He jug gled with balls and knives and forks very skillfully indeed, and had pack of cards which he toss ed in the air, causing them to van iSh and reappear apparently at will.
 The most thrilling of his feats consisted in driving a threaded darning needle through his arm, pulling it out on the side opposite its entrance without drawing a drop of blood. This performance was the climax of his show, and when it was done another China man went around and gathered in contributions The crowd settled up, evidently expecting other feats
 o follow. When the last copper had been extracted the pile was handed to the juggler, who held it in his hand, for all to see that it was there, and then put his hand to his mouth. When he opened the hand again it was empty, and so was the mouth, which he held gop-I ing like a cavern. for inspection. TAe;eIpon he bowed and stepped off so swiftly that he might almost be said to have vanished-Alfred Tumble in New York News.

The factis not generally known
 that Chief Pacheen and his band oi
 Apache Indians have gone from the
 San Pedro river to the reservation to remain. When the trouble with Es-kim-in-zin took place last fall Pacheen become frightened at the 1 prospect of falling into the hands / of the civil authorities for his many crimes, and fled to the mountains. He there burned a lot of mescal and then went to the reservation at San Carlos, The good book says ''the wicked flee when no one pur- sueth, and the guilty conscience of old Pacheen urged him to seek safety from imaginary retribution under the wing of the military. The settlers affirm that his band com mitted great many thefts of cat tie and horses and were worse than Es-kim-in-zin's following Besides this 1t is we'll known that Pacheen was the leader in the massacre of the Oatman family many years ago, and that his record embraces very many barbarous atrocities yet unavenged. There were no threats made against him and no one sought arrest or molestation, and his flight was a voluntary exit from the jurisdiction of the civil law through fear that a just retribu- ton would sooner or later overtake him. AS rancher his efforts were a total failure, there being too much involved to suit his royal la ziness.-Ex.

W. P. Rice President of the
 Union Investment Company, of Kansas City Mo-, is quoted as say ing; HThat if all the papers in the country would say that money is easy, money would be easy. There is plenty ofmoney in the country. All that is needed is a return of confidence on the part of the money holders. A lack of confidence will create a stringency in the money market at any time. Any bank in the country can be broken at any time if the depositors lose confid- ence in it and make a sudden dem- and for their money. And so a panic may be created by timid capitalists calling in their or holding fast to what they havein. It is not more money we need, but more confidence"

A dispatch from the City of Mex leo say that the government is giv- ing encouragement to all mining enterprises which may aidin aug menting the gold production of the country. Two liberal concessions have been given for mining explor- ations and operations in deposits, etc. In the territory of Lower Cali fornia and the state of Chihuahua entire freedom from taxation is granted for ten years It is stipu- lated that the companines operat- ing the mines under these conces- sion shall smelt three-fourths ofall ore extracted within the country, and for this purpose the companies shall build smelters. This is in pursuance of the policy for encour- aging the development of the home smelling industry. All recent mining concessions have contained this clause, it being the policy of the government, as far as possible, to keep the profits of reducing ores in the country. ..

Two men went into an Albuquer- que store and held up the clerk with revolvers, took what they wanted and fled. They next stopped at a cattle ranch, S5 miles from Albu- querque, the prorietor of which fed them and gave them beds free. They rewarded the k1nd harted rancher by holding him up, ransacking his house and riding off OF two of his best horses. One of the horses be- ing balky, its rider struck it over the head with a pistol which he dropped got down to pick it up and remounting fired his pistol to start the horse, the bullet taking eff feet in the animals flank. His next shot lodge in his own leg, severely crippling him. He then begged his companion to flee and save him. self, which he refused to do.

A remarkable strange scene was
 enacted at the depot opposite the
 boardgauge ticket window yester.
 day. A party of Italians, consist ing of four women, one of whom
 was a pretty young lady of about twenty years, had come off the boat.
 It was a wedding party, or rather
 the damsel had come from the country to meet her lover and be married. Dusty and travel-stained as she was, she could not possibly meet her intended husband. Ac- cordingly the party slipped out of the stream pouring from the ferry, and gathering against the bulkhead the young lady commenced to div est herself of her clothing. Re gardless of the crowd which soon collected, she proceeded to strip herself until she was standing in state of Eve.like simplicity. Then she commenced to don her wedding rousseau. This was soon accom- plished, and when the young lady found herself completely arraycd for her nuptials she walked off with her party through the laugh ing crowd, unmindful both of the laughter she excited, or that she had done any thing immodest or indec- ent.She was, indeed, an exemplifca- ton of the saying, "Where ignor- ance is bliss tis folly to be wise.

A dispatch from San Antonio Tex, gives an, account of one of the
 most extraordinary accident on re- cord. Calvin Pease, while blasting in well last Wednesday, touched off short fuse dynamite cartridge, which exploded before he got out of the well. When brought to the srfuace it was found that one of his hands was blown off, the other bad ly mangled and the entire front part of his skull from the eyes nearly to the crown of the head carried away, leaving most of his brains exposed, but not injured. His eyes were also destroyed. Not withstandingsthese remarkable in juries, Pease has not lost conscious ness for a single minute since the accident. He eats heartily, conver- ses cheerfully and sleeps well, though some opiates are necessary. The workings of his brain are as much exposed as though it were laid upon plate and endowed with life. The mans tenacity of life is the wonder of all the physicians of the city, and he insists that he will get well.

PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTER is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree of
the American road horse. AS such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department Is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
his hitherto unknown; Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. 8. of Green's
Bashaw; Leondas reputed g. $. of Biggart's
Rather, and many others.
This is pre-eminently the kind of informa.
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history OF the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac-
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to a romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

A Faith Cure

From the Cincinnati Tnnes-Star.
A certain learned doctor who lives In Peoria, but
who has a certain friend here, like the rest OF his
seoning and scientific brothers, has no more use
for these "faith-curen people than a pig has for
soap and towels. He Is partially deaf. and as a
joke he recently went TO a woman who cured by
faith
fIL is not you who are deaf" began this oracle;
sit Is your ears"
This almost staggered the doctor.

announcement she made the usual posses, and
then told him TO put his watch to his ear, and md
out II he did not hear IL tick. He had not been
able for years TO hear his watch tick but he pulled
his watch out, and as the fob was short he leaned
over and put IL TO his ear. sure enough he could
hear II. IL was marvellous, but 1t was true.
When he got home, wondering much and
humble, he took his waJch out and found that ne
could not hear. But when he bent over he could
hear IL ticking Evidently the rush OF blood TO
the head when In that position qutckened the
organs in his ear. II was simple enough, and no

The next day he saw the faith curer again, and
told her that she had cured him. but he had to

And ne was ungallant enough to reply that
he would look better standing on his head than
She would.
