AS TO RAIN-MAkING.

We do not hear much nowadays
about the rain fakirs. The experiments
tried in various places did not seem to
pan out very well. They might deceive
people in regions which are in the rain
belt, and where showers coincident with
the operations of the "rain-maker"
might pass for effect and cause; but in
the arid sections of the country they
made a very poor showing, and people
who took any stock in them, particu-
larry if that meant the investment of
money, do not relish any allusion to
that kind of irrigation.
It is well known that some expert
ments in rain making were conducted
under the auspices of the government
the agricultural department having au-
thorized the trial Of explosives for the
purpose. A number of people, being

suit of those official experiments. made

thing more encouraging comes in view:
Replying to your letter as to rain
making experiments, / have to inform

THE INVADING HOST.

The Southern Pacific Railroad has
played a shabby trick on the people of
Ogden and on Utah territory Against
the protest of the Governor. horde of
men without means of self-support
have been quartered in this territory
and are a menace to the public peace.
True, the men are placed on grounds
belonging to the railroad company. but
if it had not been for the prompt ac-
ton of the Governor they would have
been turned loose upon the city, and
there is no telling what might have
been the consequence.
AS it is. they are closely guarded by
the forces under Executive orders, and
the Southern Pacific will either have
to take them back whence they came
or arrange with the Union Pacific to
take them forward The latter COM
pany has the right to impose its own
terms, so long as they are within the
rules in relation to other passengers,
and the Southern Pacific viii be held
responsible. for the results, also for all
expenses incurred in this disgraceful
affair.
We say disgraeeful advisedly, The
term is applicable to the authorities of
the State of California and the railroad
company which has conspired with
them to relieve that State of large
body of paupers and dump them upon
this territory.
The people of Ogden have shown wis
dom in the hospitality extended to the
men quartered within the city limits,
and it is to be hoped that some ar
rangement will be effected which will
save conflict between the so-called
army and the forces mustered to pro-
tect the city
The Governor and those whom ne
has called to his aid have acted
promptly. firmly and wisely in this
emergency, and will receive all the
backing that is necessary from the en-
tire people of the territory in any fur
Their action that may become necessary.

following incident, characteristic of the
great Generals quick kindness of
heart:
In one hard-fought battle in Vir-
GINA, in which my regiment lost heav
lily in killed and wounded, / was taken
prisoner with lot of others of our
regiment. We were placed under guard
at the rear, and all were searched. l
had in my pocketbook my Masonic de-
NIT. Next morning the guard came
and told me that | was wanted at Cen
eral Grants headquarters. l thought
my time to die had surely come, and
that l would not see Sallie and the
children any more. | was sure the
General was going to have me shot. |
was the only one of our boys who was
wanted at the headquarters, and the
guard told me to move on. | soon
reached the tent and was told 10 so in
side. l was frightened almost to death.
My teeth ratified, my knees shook, and
the perspiration was streaming from
my face, although the day was cold.
However, / entered and the tent was
closed, and l was alone with the COM
mander-in-chief of the United States
forces. He saw that / was SO fright
ened l could hardly speak, and arising
from his camp stool, he shook hands
with me and asked me to be seated.
He was so kind and good that l soon
felt at home. After talking pleasantly
for while, he asked ne to what regi
ment | belonged and where my home
was. He then picked up my demit
from table, and asked me if it was
mine. l replied that it was. He then
asked me if I was a Mason, and 1 soon
convinced him of that. He then went
to the table and wrote my parole, gave
me some money. and told ME to go
home to Sallie and the children. The
guard was called, and with hearty
good bye" l departed from General
Grants headquarters the happie5t man
in the army. General Grant was a
mighty fine gentleman, whom 1 always
remembered in my prayers.

the Life of Napoleon" which is soon
to begin in that magazine. and articles
on THE Look from Above Downward

inging a description of a recent inven-
ton designed to circumvent cheating
at elections Among the "Open Let
ters" in the same magazine, is a timely
resume of the Forestry Legislation in

Blue and Cry Is a title, which
smacks of battlefelds and gunpowder.
For this reason, no doubt, many people
imagine that the popular magazine
bearing this name belongs to the class
of publications devoted to the rehash-
ing of threadbare stories of blood and
carnage AS a matter of fact it is
nothing OF the sort. Blue and Gray"
is devoted to pure Americanism, and
the development Of a higher grade of
national patriotism. The April num-
Der just received, is a gem, both in
matter and illustration, and the reduc-
ed price ought to win it a place in
every American household. patriotic
