UTAH AND NEVADA.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republi-
0ln discusses the proposition to
n ute Utah TO Nevada, as recently
proposed by Nevada journal. The
Republican says the proposition is
"attracting attention in the East"
We are sorry if this is the case, for
it has, alter pretty thorough DIS
cussion, been dropped in the West.
1t won't do. In the first place,
Nevada is in ne need OF more ter
ritory, she has plenty now and am
pie resources for rich and populous
State. The utilization Of the waters
of the State, as proposed by the
Senate Committee on Irrigation,
as begun by the late Legislature
ard as carried forward by private
persons and by corporations, will
allow the better settlement of the
many broad and fair valleys OF the
State, which is already enormous
in area. excelled in that by but
two of the present States, Texas
and California; it therefore needs
no additions. Besides, Nevada's
mineral wealth, is, save for the
Comstock, hardly touched. She
has district alter district having
mines which elS-wh re- would be
called sonanzas, but which by rea
son OF imperfect transportation
faculties can not now be worked
to profit; but winch will before
many years enjoy better conditions
in this respect. Should the hack
neyed lin words) line from Salt
Lake TO Les Angeles ever be put
through. Southern and Central Ne
vads would erjoy mining awal-
ening that would pnt to the blush
all those who now speak OF her as
a .sd-crepit State" But whether
this particular road goes or not,
better railroad facilities or the
State are certain, and the awaken
ing consequent thereupon is equally
sure Salt Lake Tribune.

Three Rude scamps Well Answered.

Two or three idle young men were loung-
ing around a street corner the other evening
just as the down town stores were sending
home their employees. Let's have some fun
with the girlsI" said the ringleader Of the
trio. "See that girl in the front seat of the
gripl Let's speak to heri" Then, as the car
stopped at the corner the mpudent fellow
tipped his hat, with, "Why, how do you do,
Kitty Johnsonl" why says another, 'sif
that isn't Kitty Johnson How dye do,
Kitty" said the third The young lady, a
young, pretty, ladylike girl, was surprised
and indignant. Her face grew red and white
by turns. Most of the passengers understood
the situation. Finally, the girl, her eyes
twinkling with merriment, and conscious of
the support of her fellow passengers, an
swered In clear, ringing voice that every
passenger could hear; "Why, how do you do,
Tom, Dick and Harryl Whom did you get out
Of jaill Who went bail for you ALT" The
car started up amid a storm OF applause,
while the dudes on the corner smiled sickly
grins at each other.-Chicago Journal

AS the Bows Saw"

One day u learned clergyman, conversing
In the waiting room of a Boston railway sta
ton, made the remark: "And they got
away, as the boys say, by the skin of their
teeth
At this small boy who was standing near
stepped up to the clergyman, and, taking of
his hat politely, asked: did l understand
you to say, sir, that the boys say that"
why, yes, said the clergyman, little
puzzled, they do, don't they, sometimesl"
MAY be, SIR said the boy; but they had
TO read it in the Bible first"
why, so they did, really ~ said the clergy
man, laughing.
He had remembered, all at once, that the
phrase, with the skin of my teeth, >" is found
in the book Of Job.
"As the boys say" is very common phrase,
but those who use it generally forget that the
boys learu most of their sayings from their
elders. Youths COMPANION

A correspondent George Pycroft, OF
Richmos d, surry) says, in the pslI Mall
Gazette, that the story of the old Water
loo veteran that the heart OF tue First
Napoleon was carried oil by rat Is true.
lie tells OF his authority for the state.
ment as follows: Lieutenant Colonel
Stevens, formerly of the 20th Regiment,
was my uncle. He left the service before
his regiment went TO st. Helena to guard
Napoleon, but in the regiment remained
his great personal friend, DR.. Arnot'.
About ifty years ago Lieutenant Colonel
Stevens told me the following strange
story, as related to him by DR.. Arnott.
After the pos norton examination the
heart of the dead Emperor was placed in
n basin, with tho intention of It's bsing
preserved aud placed in vase. During
the night the doctor heard noise, and on
going into the room he discovered that
the rats had attacked the heart, aud, TO
the best Of my recollection, had actually
1t out of the basin. My uncle
added that DR.. Arnott was remarkably
truthful man. ] think that when the
coiiiu Of tho Emperor was opeaed pre-
vIous TO the body being removed to France
the heart was found IN vase, A son OF
the late Lieutenant Colonel Stevens Il
living, and 1t ia very probable that he
may have heard this story from his
father.
