HEAT IN UTAH AND IN THE EAST.

Meteorologists tell US that the average
annual temperature of any place never
varies. Thus in Greenwich, where obser-
vations have been made for several CEN
turtles without interruption, the difference
from one year to another is but fraction
of degree and that is probably due to the
inequalities Of the thermometers used.
Hence it follows that if one season is un-
usually severe the opposite season must
make up the difference, and in this fact Is
founded the popular belief that very hot
summer must necessarily bring with 1t a
very cold winter. This of course does not
necessarily follow, though often 1t does,
because protracted spring or autumn
may gradually reduce the average tempera-
ture without the help of a severe winter.
In the east the present summer has been
an exceptionally temperate one until three
or four days ago. Then hot wave passed
over the country which by contrast is al
the more intense. We hear of sunstrokes
and prostrations causing deaths while the
temperature is only 9S degrees in the shade.
In this climate a temperature of IS degrees
creates no such casualties. We have had
y
succumbed to the heat That is because
the altitude is in our favor, and the absence
OF that humidity which, surcharging the AIR.
penetrates every pore of the human
anatomy and renders life mockery and
motion a burden.
Thus take it all the year round. the
climate of Utah is after all the most agree
able in the United States. While we are
on the fiftieth isSterm which encircles The
most favored part of the earth, our aver
age is not maintained by sudden and rad
ical changes, and what extreme we do have
is tempered largely by local causes, OF
which we have already named two, but
which might be multiplied by others, such
as the absence of violent storms, the rapid
radiation of heat at night and the influence
of the mountain ranges surrounding US on
ali sides.

THE UTAH COMaIS SION.

II is not a minute too soon for the Demo
Gratis OF Utah TO move in the matter of the
abolition Of the Utah commission. They
should start petitions to Congress for that
purpose at once, setting forth the partisan
character Of the majority of the commits
sion, its unwarranIed interference with
the freedom of elections, its coGutenance
of fraud and chicanery. If the division
movement means anything, 1t means that
we shall hereafter govern ourselves and be
governed by American methods A CARPET
bag commission with arbitrary power to
dwarf the will Of the people in The interest
OF pet faction, is not one of those
methods.
We believe Congress would act upon such
petition, backed by our Delee ate, and rein
forced as he should be by q committee of
leading citizens. Indeed we cannot imagine
how Congress could avoid it. Last winter
1t made fight against just such an in
iquity, and won. When it was proposed to
foist q counterpart of the Utah commission
upon some other states Of the Union, under
the disguise Of an election bill, the Demo
Gratis, though in minority, faced and
fought and crushed the enemy 1t was
another battle of Sempach, with GoRMAN
rs the WINKEL RIED. The Democrats then
took the issue before the people and when
thu people had settled il, they had likewise
settled the advocates Of the force bill.

In the scrimnage dead or disfigured.
With this precedent in view we cannot
see why Congress should not abolish the
Utah commission, this AGGREGATION of
supernumaries and cormorants, composed
mostly Of playedout political hacks who
could not be elected in their own homes to
6 constabulary if they tried. and who main
tain their distant residences for the mile

plumage and the verdure of the fields,

passes all others in charms and graces,
as the day doth the night in luster. For

that much as | endeavor to give a COM
plete account of it to your majesties, my
tongue cannot express the whole truth,

how to relate it"
The transparency of the water, which
Columbus attributed to the purity of the
rivers, is the property of the ocean in
these ATTITUDES So clear is the sea in
the neighborhood of some of these is
lands that in still weather the bottom
may be seen, as in crystal fountain,
and the inhabitants dive down four or
five fathoms in search of conchs and
other shellfsh, which are visible from
the surface The delicate air and pure
waters of these islands are among their
greatest charms.
AS a proof of the gigantic vegetation,
Columbus mentions the enormous size
of the canoes formed from single trunks
of trees. One that he saw was capable
of containing 1870 persons Among other
articles found in the Indian dwellings
was cake Of wax. which he took to
present to the Castilian sovereigns. For

thousand other good things" 1t is since
supposed to have been brought from
Yucatan, as the inhabitants of Cuba
We're not accustomed 10 gather wax.
On the 9Th of December he reached the
eastern end of Cuba, which he supposed
to be the eastern extremity of Asia. He
gave it, therefore, the name of Alpha and
Omega-the beginning and the end. He
was now greatly perplezed what course
| to take. If he kept along the coast as it
bent to the southwest it might bring him
to the more civilized and opulent part:
of India; but if he took this course he
must abandon al hope of finding the is
land of BabeQue, which the Indians now
said lay to the northeast, and of which
they still continued to give the mos'
marvellous accounts. 1t was a state 81
embarrassment characteristic OF this ex
traordinary voyage to have a new an(
unknown world thus spread out to the
choice of the explorer, where wonder:
aud beauties invited him on every side
but where, whichever way he turned, he
might leave the true region of profit ant
delight behind.

gwen in return. ii all these islands it
appears to me that the men are all con-
tent with one wife, but they give twenty
to their chieftain or king. The women
seem to work more than the men, and
have not been able to understand wheth-
er they possess individual property, but
rather think that whatever one has all
the rest share, especially in all articles
Of provisions"
One of the most pleasing descriptions
Of the inhabitants of this island is given
by old Peter Martyr, who gathered it, as
he says, from tho conversations of the
admiral himself. at is CERTAIN" says
he, "that the land among these people is
as common as the sun and water, and
that mine and thine the seeds of all
mischief, have no place with them.
They are content with so little that In so
large a country they have rather super
fluffy than scarceness, SO that they seem
to live in the golden world without toll,
living in open gardens, not intrenched
with bikes, divided with hedges or de-
Tended with walls. They deal truly one
with another, without laws, without
books and without judges. They take
him for an evil and mischievous man
who taketh pleasure in doing hurt to an
other, and albeit they delight not in super
huities, yet they make provision for the
increase of such roots whereof they
make their bread, contented with such
simple diet whereby health is preserved
and disease avoided"
Much Of this picture may be overcol-
ored by the imagination, but it is gener-
orally confirmed by contemporary his
torians, They all concur in representing
the life of these islanders az approach
ing to the golden state of poetical felici-
ty; living under the absolute but patri-
archal and easy rule of their caciques,
free from pride, with few wants, an
abundant country, a happily tempered
climate and natural disposition to care
less and indolent enjoyment.

ONE OF BARNum's JOKES.

George o. Starr, who is in this city,
has fund of "reminiscences about P.
T. Barnum. He had been "off and
on for the past fifteen years an agent
for the great Snowman.
"Barnum was an inimitable story
teller" remarked Mr.. Starr last night,
and he was full of humor. Practi-
cal jokes he would continually play
upon his friends, and liked to have
them played upon himself. Once a
friend went into the museum and after
some sightseeing found his way to
Mr.. Barnum's Office. Barnum, I've
been looking all over your place. said
he, but bless me if | can find the club
with which the Fiji Islanders killed
Captain Cook. You ought to get it,
Mr.. Barnum answered it would be a
good scheme to hunt it up. A few
days later the Snowman sent for his
friend, saying he had found the MUIR
derous club. 1tappears that he had
got one of his employees to procure a
big club, sprinkle it with blood, and
then paste card on it telling its his
tory. " Well, got that club" ex-
claimed Mr.. Barnum as his friend en-
tered the office; !" there it is." The
friend laughed and, looking the great
Snowman in the eyes, said: So /
see. and every other show in the
country exhibits that club So the
laugh was on Barnum.
"Several weeks after the friend
dropped in the Office again. Say,

Snowman impatientIy. "Here is q
