Sweet Peas.

The history of the pea family is an in.
teresting one. The pea originated in
the East, where it has been known and
loved from immemorial times. Young
Daniel, when he fed upon pulse, may
have included this sweet product of the
garden in his abstemious fare. Be that
as it may, the people of the East were
familiar with it long before it became
known to the Greeks and Romans. The
pea was introduced into Europe during
the Middle ages, and was not cultivated
in England until the time of Henry
VIII. The pea flower is papilioraceous,
or having a winged corolla resembling
the butterfly. The fruit is contained in
legume or pod. The pea has spread
from India to the Arctic regions. At
least so kinds are grown. Indeed, the
Pulse family, to which the pea belongs,
is so numerous as to include $500 plants
agreeing at least in the one feature of
pod bearing. Peas are not only pleas
ant to the taste, but they are nutritious,
as they contain much cassein.
The variety of pea grown in the flower
garden and known as Sweet Pea, is a
native of Sicily. 1t is worth while to
watch the bee make visit to the pea
blossom. The stamen and pistols are
hidden in the lower pro jection of the
flower. The bee lights upon this part
and its weight forces the petals down,
while the stigma, conveying pollen from
the surrounding anthers on its hairy
style, protrudes and striking the bee,
dusts it we'll with pollen. As in the
case of the scarlet geranium, the bee
seems to know by instinct just what
part of the flower to alight upon. The
pea is such a cheerful looking flower,
that it really appears to enjoy pommei'
ing the busy bee.
Aside from the pretty flower, every
part of the pea is beautiful, for the vine
is graceful, the foliage fresh and clean
looking, the pods curious and the ten
drills of interest as transformed organs.

Rich Tribe Of Indians.

Colonel E. @. Boudinot, the noted
Cherokee lawyer, made a speech at a
picnic in the Cherokee nation, few
miles from Fort Smith, Ark, recently, to
large concourse of people. He ex-
pressed his views without reserve relative
to the Cherokee commission and the sale
of the Cherokee outlet. That these lands
were to be homes of the American far
mers in very short time he regarded
certain as fate, and in his opinion COM
mon sense and the welfare of the Chero-
KEGS had dictated the policy of meeting
the commissioners half way and the sale
of the land upon the best terms possible.
He believed the commissioners were dis
posed to act friendly and generous in
their dealing with the Indians, and that
by prudent management $4,000, 900
might be obtained for all the lands occu-
pied and unoccupied west of the Arkan-
sas River, and that he was in favor Of
paying out the amount per capita to all
the citizens of the nation. His remarks
seemed to meet with the appoval of the
audience.-C Chicago Herald.

The Writer Of Familiar HYMN.

How many of the myriads who in
childhood have sung "There is happy
land, Far, far away" know anything of
its writer2 His name is Andrew Young.
and he is now eighty years of age, still
mentally and physically vigorous, and
retaining in all its early freshness his
sympathy with children. The hymn was
composed in 1888. The tune to which
it is married is an old Indian air, which
blended with the music of the woods in
the prim@val forest long before Sunday
schools were thought of. The hymn
was composed for the melody. It's
bright and strongly marked phrases
struck Mr.. Ioungs musical ear the first
time he heard it casually played in the
drawing room. He asked for it again
and again. 1t haunted him. Being ac-
customed to relieve the clamor of his
thoughts and feelings in rhyme, words
naturally followed, and so the hymn
was created. Mr.. Young happened to
have his hymn performed in the presence
of his intimate friend, Mr.. Gall, a men,
Der of the publishing firm of Gall &
Inglis. 1t got into print. 1t has been
translated into nineteen different
languages. And yet the author has
never received, and, indeed, has never
been offered, penny remuneration. 1t
is only recently that Professor David
Mason, referring to the unique influence
of this lyric, stated a most touching in
cident in the life of Thackeray. Walk
ing one day in a ''slum" district in
London he suddenly came upon band
of gutter children sitting on the pave
ment. They were singing. Drawing
nearer he heard the words: "There is
a happy land, Far, far awayp As he
looked at the ragged choristers and
their squalid surroundings, and saw that
their pale faces were lit up with a
thought which brought both forgetful-
ness and hope, the tender hearted cynic
burst into tears.

CAPTURED AT LAST.
The Men Who Held Up the Denver and
Rio Grande in Custody.


SALT LAKE, September 24th-On August
9Th the Rio Grande and Western train was
held up near Thompson's s Springs, Utah,
and the passengers relieved of their money
and other valuables. Charles Curtis and
James Rumrill were arrested early in Sep
tember for the crime and are now in the
penitentiary awaiting the action of the
Grand Jury.
1t now appears that they are not the
guilty parties, but that Edward Dayton and
James E. Dayton, brothers, are the men
who perpetrated the bold crime. Both of
the Daytons came to this city after the
train-robbery, and subsequently went to
Ogden. About two weeks ago one of them
held up the cashier of gambling hall as
he was leaving the place with bag of
money, about o'clock in the morning
Dayton pointed loaded gun at the CASH
ier's head and ordered him to deliver,
which the cashier promptly did. Dsyt
then ran and several men tried to stop him,
the last one getting a shot through the leg
for his interference. Dayton escaped the
officers.
Dayton's accomplice was also arrested.
and he said that some of the booty was in
valise underneath bridge near Ogden.
A revolver and some sticks Of giant pow
der were found. The two prisoners were
closely watched while ON bail, and from
remarks dropped by them it was learned
that they had concealed some property in
the mountains near Montrose, Colorado,
and by careful maneuvering the precise To-
cation was ascertained. Officers went to
the spot and found watches and other
property taken from the Rio Grande and
Western passengers, and which have been
identified.
This makes the chain of evidence
against the Daytons almost complete, and
there is no doubt that Curtis and Rumrill
will be released and the Dsytons held for
the charge. Deputy United States Mar
shall Pratt and Sheriff Belknap of Weber
county will claim the ST. 600 reward offered
by the Rio Grande and Western Railway
Company.
