SUNDAY SALAD.

JUST after an arraignment in the district
court the other day, the defendant who had
Just been presented with a copy of the in
dictment by Clerk Clarke, said to him:
''Whot does the evidence in this case
amount to, anyway Il don't know"
replied the affable official, with a broad
smile, II haven't figured it up YETI
IT is a well established fact that those
books in the law Office which relate to mar
riage and divorce show signs of being more
used than any others of late
a citizen of Ogden was down here re-
Gently, and being pursuaded by friend
made his initial attempt at riding on BIZ
cycle. He got along just about as all others
do under the same circumstances. Being
encountered by another friend, the latter
said-''You ought not to try that kind of
thing here, where there are so many peo-
pie to see you; do it at home"
The American papers have the customary
difficulty in getting the name of the new
minister from Great Britain properly
spelled. The fact that we used to have an
actor in Utah whose name was similar has
something to do with it here, but there is
no relation between George Pauncefort, of
pleasant recollection, and Sir Julian
Pauncefote. The photography here is cor
rect and settles it.
1t is an ill season that brings no good to
anybody. The general prediction that the
coming will be dry summer is favorably
received by saloon men.
QIn the city council recently Alderman
Mccormick, in advocating making the com
ing circus pay big rent for the ground oc
cupied in the Eighth ward, claimed to be
the father of the high tariff in this respect
last year, and that he received, in consider
alton Of his position, eight tickets from the
show people. A Democratic friend sug-
gests that it was always thus; the advo-
Gates of high tariff are generally benefic-
aries of that state of things, as was fully
shown during the late presidential cam
paign.
1t is rather a funny spectacle to see an
ice cream vendor and hot pie man ply
ing their vocations at the same time on the
same corner, but it took place here the past
week several times.
Lest there should be any undue anxiety
over the fate of Mcbride, it may be well to
state that he has been found in the heart of
Oklahoma, hundred miles in advance of
any settler, sitting on the back of cayuse
and bathing his moccasined feet i n the dews
of the tall prairie grass.
Mr.. Varian since his return from Wash
ington looks somewhat as if he would soon
have to join The HERALD's procession of
advertisers. Some one says that Mr.. V. in
urging his claims on a Cabinet member,
met with a rebuff that almost dazed him.
81 have been stalwart Republican from
way back" he is reported to have said.
II have stood by the party through thick and
thin-and a man must live, you know"
'Not necessarily" was the response.
Patrique Henri Lannan wants its under
stood that he is not after the marshalship,
nor yet place in the commission, begorrah.
Some one cruelty says that Patrique's ac-
complishments were under discussion in
Washington bureau not long since, and that
the following occurred:
'Have you thought of Mr.. Lannsn for
the place?' urged one of his friends. ''Oh
yes, but he won't do"
''Why not; doesn't he know anything?"
''Know anything! Why, my dear fellow,
he doesn't even suspect"
