years. or rather the payment OF
the debt in two hundred and
fifty semi-arnual installmenta, the in
terest to be computed at the rate of 2
per cent. per annum. The court of
claims is to INQUIRE into and decide
upon the equities OF the eorlpany's
claims, and the company is to have the
privilege of ledeeming lis bonds at any
time.
Under the circumstances the bill
seems liberal on the part of the com
pany and just TO the government. 1t
is liberal. because it proposes to pay a
debt which the Central Pacific could
ms Ike money by permitting to 60 by de-
fault and surrendering the road; it is
just, because it proposes that govern
ment shall lose none of tie money
which it invested in the road.
1t is to be hoped that both these bills
will be passed, and the handicap re.
moved from the Pacific railroads.

THE PEOPLE of Eudors, Kansas, last
week, drove some faith-cure preachers
out of town, and warned them not to re-
turn. 1t seems that the preachers had
told man afflicted with quinsy that if
he had faith ne would recover and go
about his business. Being believer, on
Wednesday morning he arose from bed,
put on his clothes and went out in The
open air. asserting that he would be
cured. The result was, he was
thoroughly chilled, and died on Thurs
day morning. The people then became
indignant, and drove the preachers out
of town.

CARTER HARRISON, ex-mayor of Chi
cage, is making the tour of the world,
and writing interesting letters to the
Chicago Mail. In a communication
from Calcutta he says:
1t made me, on arrival almost blush to
permit good looking soft-eyed girl to take
my satchels from the station to the hotel
One of these makes my arm ache to carry it
hundred or so yards, yet this little girl
swung two from her forehead, climbed
nimbIy the high hill to the hotel a few hun
dred yards eff, and was perfectly satisfied
when gave her two aunas-orless than fl We
cents.
Mr.. Harrison should have blushed
twice. the last time when he gave the
soft eyed girl LESS than five cents" for
q service which would have cost him
twenty-five cents in any city OF
America.

SoME FRENCH doctors have discovered
deadly poison IN the human breath.
The fluid, which was obtained from the
respiratory tract was tried on dog.
and at first produced sort of paralysis
of the extremities. After a dose of
twenty centigrammes the animal always
succumbs in the space of seven hours
The poison thus extracted is an organic
alkaloid, and not, as might have been
supposed, m:crobe. or rather, series
OF microbes. From these curious re-
searches, the following conclusions may
be deducted: 1, Ia confined air is found
a volatile principle, most deadly il it's
effects, emanaging from the lungs, and
much more dangerous than the carboUic
acid which is also met with in it. ..
Human breath, as well as that OF
amin Is, thus contains q poison which
is most powerful" What is a fellow
COINS to do about this thing? He must
breathe, or die, and if he breathes he
becomes a dangerous enemy to man
and beast.

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS DEBEs.

At last there is a prospect of all
early adjustment of the long pending
trouble between the government and
the subsidized Pacific railroads. The
House committee has agreed to and re-
ported favorabIy the Cultivate bill, as
regards the Union Pacific, and special
bills will be prepared for each of the
subsidized roads. The Cultivate bill
takes into account the equities. 1t has
been drawn with the view to securing
the government debt and also TO protect
the company against unnecessary
bankruptcy, which some would like to
see. Were the United States to press
their claim and insist upon its
settlement when due it would
result in ruin coming upon the COM
pany, and the government go
ing into the railroad business with an
Improbable line on its lands. The
bill proposes to extend the indebted
n sss fifty years, and to give the com
many a chance to earn some money,
which it cannot do so long as gov
eminent is squeezing and choking it
Its understood that the bill is salts
factory to the Union Pacific, which has
given assurance of its ability to fulfill
the proposed obligations.
MIR. Huntington, of tie Central Pa
oino. has sent to the committee bill
for an act applicable to that company.
It's chief provision is the extension o.
the debt one hundred and twenty-five

EXTRAVAGANCE.

Unless the Governor shall step in
With his veto for the protection OF the
treasury, it is feared that the Territory
will soon find itself in d2plorable fix
financ ally. Tho Legislature which
closes it's legal session to-day has been
extravagant alnlest 10 the degree Of
recklessness IN its appropriations, pro-
yi6ing for the expenditure OF more
money than the revenue of the Terri
tory during the period covered, and
more than the law will permit US to
borrow. Past > ssemblies have been too
reid in the matter of economy, and
have sometimes withheld appropria-
lions which should have been made IN
the interest OF development and pub
lie progress; but the present Assembly
has gone to the ether extreme,
INDUCING in extravaganza, and appro-
priating money without proper IN
derstanding Of the situation. All ap-
preparations should take into &C
count the treasury, and tie
effort should be 10 equalize the re-
ceipts and disbursements but from the
size of some appropriations and the
readiness with which they have been
voted, one can almost believe that the
Assembly has thought the treasury
could not be exhausted, and that all the
Legislature had to do was to find
schemes and places for expanding
money. No dishonesty or corruption is
intimated, but simply lack of the eau
ton, of the thoughtfulness and of the
economic wisdom which should control
legislators as it does individuals in
their efforts to make ends meet"
Perhaps no appropriation the5 has
been made is an unWise one;
indeed, we doubt that anything
that has been provided for which
the Territory does not need; but If We
haven't the money and are without the
legal rightand authority to borrow it, it
should hardly re considered the proper
thing to DO TO vote az appropriation.
AS they have voted large sums for this
Improvement and that institution, until
they have, on paper. disposed of hun
dreds OF thousands, perhaps half
million in all, how many members have
realized that the revenue Of the Terri
tory is only abou: $2o5, 900 a year, and
that nearly one-half of the total goes
directly TO the support OF the district
schools? As they have disposed of the
monty low many have asked them
selves where the cash is to come from
and how it is 10 be obtained?
No other Territory and no State has
enjoyed better credit than Utah. 1t
has been the boast of our own people
and the admiration OF others. The ex-
scellent reputation was gained by econ
ony. and by obedience to the excel
lent commercial law which prevents
the wise man from involving himself so
deeply that he cannot get out. But If
all the appropriations which have Deen
voted and which are yet to come in are
to go through, both the credit and the
reputation of the Territory will suffer
during the coming two years, for it will
be beyond the ability of the treasury to
respond to the demands which the As
sembly is mating upon it. 1t is to be
hoped that the Governor will exercise
wiser discretion when he shall pass upon
the bills than members of the Legisla-
ture have done.

CATAHOULA's WILD GIRL.


W fE3 q rs
One day last week two strangers
passed through Trinity on foot, having
| travelled from Alexandria. They gave .
thrilling account Of q meeting held with
the wild girl of Catahoula, near Kemp's
creek. They say she is one Of the most
ferocious looking beings that the hui
man eve was ever cast upon. They
stopped to ask her d few questions, but
could not get nearer to her than fifty
feet. She is as feet as deer, and 81
one leap she cleared q root seven feet

berish.
Her arms are long, brawny and mus
cular. She appears to be about 16 years

THE PIG.

Result or Experiments ON Pig Feed
ing in Illfnois.

In his experiments in pig feeding,
College farm concludes as follows:
It required 80 pounds of skim-milk
to produce one pound OF pork when fed
with corn meal in ratio LII to fatten
hogs.
Skim-milk could not be economically
fed to.fatten hogs unless it was waste
product which could not be otherwise
utilized.
It required on an average 4.12 pounds
or .074 bushels of shelled corn to pro-
duce one pound of pork during an aver
age period of four weeks, or'one bushel
produced 1876 pounds.
1t required 4.37 pounds of corn meal
to produce one pound OF pork, or one
bushel of corn made into. meal and fed
dry produced 1913 pounds of pork.
When fed dry shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal to feed to
fatten hogs.
1t required 7.35 pounds. or .23 bushels
of. ground oats to produce one pound
of pork, when fed with equal parts, by
weight, of corn meal.
One bushel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels Of oats as food for fatten-
ing hogs.
Corn-fed pigs gained about 4.5pounds
per week and ate about 81 pounds Of
corn per 100 pounds live weight.
The gain for the amount of food con-
suIned decreased during fattening.
Pork was produced during cold wea-
Their, with c0rn,at % cents per bushef,
for lessthan three cents per pound.
An insufficient food supply for two
weeks caused very considerable loss in
feeding thereafter.
We believe Indian corn to be the most
economical pork producing material dn-
ring winter months in regions where ex-
tensively grown.

Tn the Bathing Beach at Atlantic City.

I saw beautiful symphony in yellow
on the beach to-day 1t was girl
about Is years of age. She wore d. full
suit Of black and white striped cloth,
and the head was slilmounted by a
iaunty Tam O'Shanter of the same
material. It was almost hid, however,
by the heavy, .wavy golden. hair which,
seemed to have been crimped by nature
herself, SO that each hair knew itself.
The beautiful bangs in front,, only
partially concealed the forehead, but
rose to make beautiful golden rim for
the cap. Behind, wealth OF golden
hair spread about the neck and shout
ders to complete as pretty picture as
one could see.
Another lady bather I saw, had an
unusual share Of daring. She were no
skirt at all, but with neat blue Jersey
and trousers, polka-dot handkerchief
about her neck, and long black aud
white stockings which reached above
her knee, she looked charming. Her
skill as graceful swimmer was mn
impeded by water-logged skirts. Most
attractive was plump, sweetlooklng
lady-perhaps n young matron-in a
very light bathing suit, with black
stripes running lengthwise, and pair
of stockings to match. Her bodice was
sleeveless, and her shapely form was
shown to advantage.
Another lady who had attracted gen.
eral admiration wore q suit of black
and white barred, with jockey cap OF
the same material on her head. A heavy.
roll of chesnut-colored hair, which had
4 ~ 10, fall fpnp,
coil with that careless abandon which
is the art Of actresses, added to the
charm.
Still another lady wore black dress,
all in one piece II was cut, after the
extreme decollete style, but she had
underneath gauze-what shall / call
it? saw one lady with a bright cardi-
nal Dress. unrelieyed by, trimmings.
A toilet of pink and white, the bodice
of which was loose and flowing, while
the skirt was arranged in pleats looked
quite attractive. In the matter of stock
ings the plain black seem to ba the most
desirable, while black and white, in
stripes or bars or clocked, come next in
popularity with those who wear fancy
suits.
But / cannot refrain from saying that
Ete-day saw the funniest pair of little
legs in the world. They belonged to a
woman of middle age, but far below the
medium height, whose native heath was
some where In Ireland. They were the
shortest little things, but well rounded
and solid, and well set off with pair OF
boots with soft soles. The little woman
was entirely unconscious OF the ndmira-
ton which followed her.-Bastfmofs

How the Carolina Poplar Has Inn.
proved Washington.


The success with one tree used in
Washington is matter Of interest to all
cities where soft coal Is used. The
Carolina poplar is found to be one OF the
most vigorous growers and one Of the
most beautiful In leaf and form. It is
similar to the Iombnrdy poplar in
shape, but the head is fuller, its foliage
Is thick, and the leaves large, dark and
glossy. It grows rapidly from cutting,
and It is found that It will flourish even
whore o pail of coal smoke is thick
enough to darken the atmosphere. In
addison to these valuable if not wonder
fnl characteristics, it is regarded as an
nnf- malarial tree because of it's great
capacity for absorbing water from the
nuil. Mr. Smith has named it the
ssAmerican eucalyptus" and has used it
moro extensively in the,lower portions
0ftAe city. and has given many thousands
ofitfor planting on those sections of the
Potomac flats which have been reclaimed.
Tho Tree Commission have also dis
csvered method Of cultivating another
