A Spiders Reasoning.

Globe Democrat.
J.P. Wilkins an amateur en- tomolo.
gist says L saw the other day an ex-
ample of genuine reasoning and bit
ter resentment exhibited by spider.
In one corner of my yard protected by
an overhanging cornice and porch,
there are several spider webs, and in
particular two. one directly above the
other at distance of about inches,
and each tenanted by large spider.
1 was seated in chair in the shade
on Sunday afternoon, when 1 noticed
them, and plcKea up bit of chip and
tossed it into the upper web to see
what the splder would do. He ran
out ard examined the chip, but quick
ly deciding that it was of no earthly
value to a spider, set about getting
rid of it. He was very methodical
and went regularly round the chip,
cutting the threads on every side,
until the chip finally hung by one
strand, which he severed, and it drop
ped into the web Of the spider who
was keeping house on the lower
story. Out came the latter, thinking
he had caught something, but when
he found the chip, his rage seemed
Unbounded. 1t evidently wasn't the
first time his upper-story neighbor
had dumped his refuse into the lower
web, and he was determined TO stand
it no longer. He went up the ropes
like an athlete. leaving the chip
where it fell, and In an instant was
in the upper web and engaged in a
deadly battle with its occupant. Thew
had a terrible fight, and rolled over
and over each other, biting and hug
ging with the utmost ferocity. At
last in their tumbles they fell through
the hole where the chip had been
cut out, and down into the lower
web, which seemed to trighten the
upper spider, who was little larger,
and after few more tumbles he got
loose and escaped up rope to his
own quarters, minus the whole of one
leg and the half of another. The
lower spider climbed half way up in
pursuit, then stopped and seemed to
reflect. He waited a moment, then
concluded he, too, had enough, so he
went back and cleared out the chip
and mended his web. I dropped two
or three bits of straw into the upper
web, but the big spider paid no at
tention. The other had given him a
lesson; had in spider language, set up
a sign, mo Dumping, Under Penalty
of the Law" and ne was not slow TO
take hint.

An Icy Cloud.

From the Patoka Qll.) Enterprise
The little town of Ransom's Ford
lying six miles south of Paris, ILL.,, is
much alarmed and puzzled over q
natural phenomenon which is Just
now being exhibited there. On Fri
day last, a short time after sunrise, a
cloud, coming from u northeasterly
direction and descending from a great
height, moving with rapidity, settled
down upon the place, and has re-
NAMED undispelled ever since. The
atmosphere il so dense with the
moisture from the cloud that objects
are wholly indiscernible at a distance
OF less than two feet, but the re-
markable feature of the fog is its in
tense cold, which is such as to rem
der fires necessary to prevent
the people and animals from freezing
to death, while all vegetation in the
town and country about for a quarter
of mile around, and, indeed, where
ever the fog rests, has been killed.
Singular as it appears, the atmos-
phere about seems to be unaffected
by the presence of the icy cloud and
remains very near it's normal temper
allure, but to enter the dense area of
the fog is to step at once into cold
in which the thermometer remains
steadily at 100 below zero. The sun
is so nearly Obscured by it as to ap-
pear only as ball of half-extin-
guished fire even at monday, and
seems totally unable to warm or dis
pei the fog. 1t is thought, however,
that this will be done by the first
strong wind, which is anXiously
looked for by the Inhabitants of the
little town, who prefer a natural
summer, no matter how sultry, to
being thus cut off from the rest of the
world by so unreasonable winter.

The Louisiana's Eventfui Voyage.

The Louisiana's Eventfui Voyage.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
One of the longest and most event.
full voyages on record between Phila-
delphia and San Francisco Is that of
the ship IIouisiana, about which some
anxiety has been felt. She left this
port seventy-two days ago with a
general cargo. She was commanded
by Captain Oliver, and crossed the
equator twenty-four days after hav-
ing reached the capes.
Dispatches received yesterday say
that on April IA, she encountered a
terrific hurricane. The storm came
on very suddenly, and it was only by
hard work that the vessel was snug
ged down In time. The wind blew
from outh.southwest to nOrth-north-
west and the sea was terrific. The
after-house was stove in, port quar-
ter boat washed away and the lower
main and fore-top-sails blown clean
out of the bolt ropes.
The most serious part of the bust
ness was the shifting of the cargo,
which necessitated getting the ship
on the other tack, very ticklish OPP
GRAFTON in the heavy sea. Capt. Oil
yer gave orders to "wear ship" At
first she refused to pay of, but finally
fell away before the wind and was
braced up on the other tack.
The cargo was then retrimmed, and
the crew, who had been on deck do.
ing the most exhaustive work for
thirty-six hours without sleep, given
a needful rest.
Rounding Cape Horn the Louisiana
passed through most extraordinary
electrical storm. The lightning play
ed up and down the rigging, and fire
balls burst with explosions like hand
grenades all around the ship. This
was followed by thick snow storms
and heavy gales from the northwest.
In one of these the maintopmast was
carried away, and Chief Officer Mar
tin had his arm injured by being
flung violently against the lee bull
warks by sea which swept over the
weatherbow of the vessel.

Teutonic Was a Lazy Tub.
New York Sun.
Among the passengers who made
the fastest voyage OH record on the
Teutonic, was Miss Elizabeth Pitt
man, of Chetnole Dorset, England.
She came to this country to marry
William Francis Sparkle oliver, an
agent of the Equitable Life Assurance
company. who was her playmate
when they were boy and girl together
in England. Mr.. oliver has been
nearly over the world since then. He
went to Egypt when in his teens, and
from the northwest corner of the
dark continent drifted to the south
end. He was miner in South Africa
during the Zulu war, and took part in
it. After visiting other parts of the
globe, he finally found his way to
this country about two years ago, and
became an insurance agent. He had
kept up correspondence with his
former playmate during his wander
ings, and they became engaged by
letter. They consequently had not
seen each other since their engage
ment when they met on the White
Star dock. They went almost Imme-
diately to Calvary p. E. Church at
Fourth avenue and Twenty-first
street, where the Rev. James Good
win, who is in charge in DR.. Satter-
lees absence on vacation, made them
man and wife.

THE HERALD's Denver correspondent
sends an interesting rumor prevalent in
that city concerning the Union Pacific.
The story is that there is dissatisfaction
with President ADAMS management of the
company and an effort will be made at the
meeting in Boston today to transfer the
control to New York men, JAY GOULD,
RUSSELL SAGE and SIDNEY DILLON being
named as the gen tlemen wanted in this con-
nection. 1t cannot be denied that Mr..
ADAMS is not satisfactory to good many
persons interested in the Union Pacific,
but it is doubted that he can be ousted by
the influence working against him. Unless
there has lately been considerable
transfer of stock the Boston parties
can defy the New Workers. And why
should JAY GOULD be named! His interests
and operations all lie in another direction,
and his Union Pacific holdings are very
small DILLON has never felt right since
he lost the presidency, and SAGE would like
his stock to be getting dividends, whether
or not the road earned them; but the men
who overcame the old crowd are to-day
actuated by the same motive which in
duced them to retire that crowd. We take
little stock in the Denver story, and will
be surprised if the Hubites do not have
things their own way at to-day's meeting.

THE CHAMBER AND THE HERALD.

Our unesteemed morning contemporary,
being unable to defend the governor for
taking the money of the chamber of COM
merce and while ostensibly representing
the association at Washington, secretly
working to bring about the disfranchise-
ment of three fourths of the people of
Utah, including many gentlemen who con-
tributed to the five hundred dollar fund
placed in his hands, falls back upon its
stock argument-abuse of and lying about
The HERALD. Instead of denouncing its
double-faced sneak as itwould do if it were
honest and decent, it says because this
paper exposed the doings of the governor,
The HERALD is endeavoring to injure the
chamber of commerce by inducing the
withdrawal of the Mormon members. Such
twaddle will be taken for all its worth,
and no more, which is nothing, in the
chamber and out of it. The HERALD has
been the staunch friend of the chamber,
and is so today. This papers money has
not only been paid promptly but literally
into the chambers Golfers, which our
morning contemporary cannot say of itself.
THE HERALD's business manager never
protested against admitting Mormons to
the chambers membership; he never de-
faulted In his dues; he never said that il
the Mormons were kept out he would
pay into the treasury as much
money as their dues would amount
to, and he never let his membership
lapse. When the advertising car was sent
abroad to attract attention and induce cap
italists hither The HERALD cheerfully bore
its share of the expense: what was the
color Of the Tribltne's money which aided
that exposition? THE HERALD's record
with the chamber is something that should
make its disreputable contemporary envi-
GUS Whenever the Tribune or any of its
gang has endeavored to destroy the cham
Der of commerce by making it partisan
organization, sort of tail to the Alta club
kite, THE HERALD has protested and on
such occasions will continue to protest.
just as it does now that Governor THOMAS.
as the paid agent of the association, hired
with Mormon as well as Gentle money. is
lobbying for the passage of the infamous
disfranchisement bill. When the chamber
shall cease to be non-partisan and fair, and
shall become political machine, THE HER
AID will have no further use for it. and the
well-wishers of Utah without regard to poll
tics or religion, will withdraw So long as the
chamber of commerce shall continue in its
own legitimate field it will have no better
friend and no more earnest supporter than
The HERALD.
The organ of disunion and misrule can
not distract attention from the sneaking
conduct of its Insignificant tool, the gov
ernor. by assailing THE HERALD.

THE MANAGERS of the Baltimore & Ohio
railway have yielded to the demands of
their men both as to an increase of paw and
shorter hours. A day is to be ten hours,
the rule heretofore being from eleven to
thirteen, and the pay has been increased 10
per cent. This action is confession that
the company has not been treating its en-
ployees right. 1t is an admission that it
has been putting too much work upon
them and has not been paying fair wages.
1t is also an evidence of wisdom on the part
of the managers. A strike by any consider
able number of the B. & o. employees
would cost the company more money, even
if the men were finally conquered, than
will be paid out by reason of the increased
pay and shorter hours. A very short strike
consumes years net earnings.

THERE ARE some croakers in Salt Lake
city. Happily they are not numerous, and
also happily they are not influential. They
do not belong to the city and we are glad to
say the city does not belong to them. They
are not old residents; indeed, they are not
residents at all in the true sense of the
word; they are merely temporary sojourn-
ers, and are not at all attached to the
place. They may have brought
some money with them, but if SC
they have spent none of it it in ways bene
fetal to the town. They came as spectators
and boomers, and having ascertained, il
may be and probably is, to their cost, that
this is not speculative or boom city, they
croak. You don't hear complaints from
anyone who is interested in Salt Lake
Nobody who has invested money here in
building is growing with the present
condition of things. None of the
old timers is finding fault The men who
came here because ti.ey thought this was a
good place for legitimate enterprise are
better pleased than they were when the
spectators were making things hum and
driving people out of their wits by their
booming operations. They find the
reality is beyond the expectation,
enterprise being satisfactorily rewarded
and legitimate business sufficiently
remunerative. Nor are the bona fide buy
ers of real estate in the least degree discon-
certed. We have heard of no lot that can
be purchased for the price that the last
buyer paid for it, the present owners being
content in every instance with their bar
gains. THE HERALD has no use for the
croakers, and will be glad when they all
seek other fe $ for their operations.
