THE MESSAGE.

The first message of Governor Wells
to the legislature was well received in
this city yesterday except in so far as
it referred to bounties, and that por-
ton does not meet the approval OF
many of the governors party men.
With this exception the document is
considered an able business like state
paper, and it is the hope of the peo-
pie generally that with the exception of
the bounty proposition the legislature
will follow the communications of the
chief executive.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Ogden, Jan 10.

Republicans in this city continue to
take a lively interest in the senatorial
contest now in progress at the capital.
So far as is known every prominent
Republican and the rank and file of the
party as well favors the election of
Hon. Frank J. Cannon to the senate.
One leader of the Republican hosts
said yesterday that the north was GER
tainly entitled to one of the senators
and that Weber county was in a posi-
ton 10 ask some favors of this Repub-
lican legislature, and that Mr. Can
non s election was one of the favors
which Weber county asked for, or
rather Weber county Republicans were
asking it.
There is still some doubt existing in
the minds of some Republicans as to
the attitude of Hon. George Q. Can
non, yet a gentleman Who claims 10
know something of the inner circle Sc
crats declared yesterday that he had
positive proof that Mr.. Cannon, ST.,
would not be in the fight against his
son. This evidence, it was claimed,
was visible on occasion, but The Her
aid representative could not get a peep
at it, because of what was claimed to
be good and sufficient reasons.
Weber county Republicans have come
to the conclusion to press the election
of T. ]. Cannon as against the world,
no matter who may enter the field
against him.
1t was learned yesterday on pretty
good authority that the Weber county
members of the legislature would not
go into caucus and agree to be bound
by the action unless assured of F. j.
Cannon's election beforehand.

VALUABLE SEEDS.

The cultivation of plants for seeds
has assumed such enormous proper
tions in recent years that, as practiced
under the intense systems of the pres
ent day, the occupation combines both
an art and science.
The original individuals of almost
every garden vegetable and every gar
den flower have been trained from a
wild state, improved through cultiva-
tion and patient selection
The garden cabbage serves as a good
illustration in this respect, for here we
have the highest cultivated type of a
useless plant that is still found growing
in wild state upon the Kentish cliffs,
and yet, if this pedigree form were not
carefully guarded whilst in the hands
Of the expert,it would be only too ready
to revert back to its original condition.
Any amateur gardener can be con-
WINGED on this point if he will save his
own seeds for two or three years in
succession.
Among flowers the most recent
triumph in reselection is that of the
beautiful Shirley poppies, which owe
their beginning to the wild red poppy
of the cornfields and waysides.
AS al example of the operation of
crossbreeding which has had so much
to do with the improvement Of the OF
dinary species, we will take the garden
pea. The operator, we will say, is anx-
ious to obtain a variety with pods as
long rs that popular sort called "Tele-
phone" only that he wants it = feet
shorter in the haulm and to bear its
pods three weeks earlier
His first course is to grow a row of
two kinds side by side-sorts which, in
his opinion, give the desired result
At the proper time he fertilizes the
, flowers of one with the other. As soon
rs the pods are ripe, and the peas come
to be shelled out, it is sometimes found
that they are composed of a regular
mixture of round seeds in various
shades of blue and white, and wrinkled
seed bearing similar distinctive charac-
teristics; and this in face of the fact
that the seeds of the parents were al
most identical.
The progeny is sorted and sown the
following season in rows side by side,
and the outcome is astonishing. One
row will, perhaps, be quite fortnight
earlier than its ncighbor; another will
only grow one foot high; third will
he six feet, and to such an extent does
this variation exist that it quite mega
tives the old saying, AS like rs peas
in pod"
Sowings are repeated each season
always retaining those showing the
points aimed at in the greatest degree:
and it ultimately occupies six years be
| fore the selected variety is ready fol

Up n a bleak and barren moor
She dwelt,-th woman old and poor.
Half starved, and always scantly clad,
With naught on earth to make her glad.
RebelIious oft, yet knowing not
How to improve her dreary lot.
But, as her life drew near its ehd,
A longing came for some amend.
A fierce desire possessed her soul
To reach, ere death. certain goal.
Then from her C ,bin mean and bare
She stole forth in the chill dark air.
A night and day she hobbled or,
Rocked not of darkness or of sun. :. -. :,
A gleam within her sunk.n eyes,
Like lightning from the shrouded skies,
Flashed wild, as her uncertain pace
Swift on her course she sought to tr.ce.
At length, the sun, all glowing red.
Sank to its rest in oceans bed,
Its lurid CLEANS her keen glance caught
This was the goal the wan1erer sought.
"The sea! the seal" she sllrieked aloud,
These fossil waves shall be my shrOud."
No more, no more to starve and freeze,
But just to rock ON billowy seas"
She cast her down on the sandy shore,
And listened with glee to the oceans roar.
Then DER its limitless expanse
She swept her wild, ecstatic glance.

But tits so good to see enough

From this drear world of want aid woe
The voice ceased; low droppe ed the head;
The tide c-ept up, and found her-dead.

A DRAMATIC MEETING AT THE WA
TER HOLE NEAR OLD CAMP RENO.

Captain Coverdale who was dismissed
from her Majesty's service for card
sharping, and at present wanted for
check-raising done some two years pre-
vious.
Coverdale wanted the last redeem
ing virtue of a scoundrel-personal
courage. He saw all was lost, and in
the confusion skunk away, just missing
the detective who was making for the
platform and was seen no more in Eng
land. An investigation Of the books
showed that much of the stock afloat
was fraudulent, and the captain was
badly wanted by the police.
Nor was Aurania in much better
condition at home No British capi-
tai had come to the camp, and expert
enced miners began to suspect that the
deposits ofore were dipping and not
likely to be permanent. But new
sensation that Overshodowed all others
now came to Aurania.
Coverdale had left an agent behind
him with whom he secretly cOmmuni-
Gated a man named Kelley, who had
tailor shop in the place for some
time This man had received no word
nor assistance from the captain, and he
became angry, and one day, while
drunk, spoke freely of his employers
record. That night party of men
seized Kelley and questioned him, and
the truth came out. He had served in
Coverdale's regiment and knew him
for years. He was bigamist with
two wives in England, a forger and
thief The taylor tried to make excu-
ses for keeping all this secret at the
time of Miss Emslie's marriage, but
the crowd were not in the mood.
Some wanted to shoot him, but one
suggested that he be branded and war
ned out of camp, and this brutal sug-
gested was carried out with savage
cruelty. An old cattle brand was
heated and half circle bar and cross
burned into the wretched mans fore
head. Half mad with pain he got into
the mountains, and was never heard of
again.
Lucy's health had been visibly fail
ing for some months, and her white
face and piteous look almost drove her
father mad. BY morning kelley's
story was all over camp, and some
blunderiug friend brought it to Emslie.
Through the thin partition it came to
Lucy's ears. and when she was found
life was almost extinct, and by morning
in the pangs of premature childbirth,
it ended. A grave was dug in the
rugged mountain-side, and here mother
and child were laid to rest.

stare the old man knocked his pick
from the handle, and with the agility
of boy struck Billet blow on the
head that knocked him senseless. White
with terror Coverdale sprang to his
feet, but in an infant was in grasp
that fairly crushed him down.
Sweeping the hair from his face, the
old man looked at him, his light, faded
eyes cleaning with the fire of mad
ness.
aye don't know me, Coverdale? For
three long and weary years I've looked
for you. knew we would meet. I've
dreamed it, waited for it, prayed for it.
My daughter and her little babe lie
1000 miles north of this in the noun
tains, lost to me forever. With them
my life went out, and am now a home
less, friendless outcast, do We hear? and
this is your work, you william
The wretched Englishman was para
lyzed with fear. He recognized his
assailant, but could not speak. Sudden
ly, with frightful yell, Emslie grasp
ed his throat and wrung it with dis
perate violenc. the william was hurled
to the ground, and in moment tramp
led into a shapaless mass. The wretch
ed father now in fit of madness howl
ing like a wild beast.
When Billet came too he was alone
One look at the horrible sight in the
road was enough, and he staggered
away, only to run into a party headed
by Red Bailey, Yuma Sheriff, who
was ,aking some prisoners to Tucson.
He told his story, and the men eau
tiously approached the spot, but, save
the spattered remains of Coverdale,
nothing was seen.
One of the party was Colorado
miner, and he said:
'This must be old Tom Emslie's son
in-law. / heard of the old fellow over
on the Gila river three months ago.
He's caught the scoundrel at last"
The remains were cast into ravine
as food for the coyotes and the sheriff
passed on. Tragedies were too common
in those days to excite more than
passing interest.
Nothing was ever heard of the old
man. He no doubt died in some noun
tain canyon, far from the haunts of
man.

AURANIA CITY'S STORY.
THE TALE OF
PARSON EMSLIE'S SON
IN-LAW.

HOW CoNERDALE WAS CAUGIIT-THE
DEEDS OF A sCoUNDREL WHO SWUNG
| BETWEEN LONDON AND THE SIERRA
A DRAMATIC MEETING AT THE WA
I TER HOLE NEAR OLD CAMP RENO.
"We will camp at Aurania City"
said the guide, as we left the Sierras
and entered a narrow valley that is
part of John Days Pass" about l20
miles northwest of Denver. Some one
asked about the hotel accommodations
at Aurania.
"Wall, thar amt much to bet on, but
we'll hustle around and get some grub
was the reply.
The valley was growing narrower
until we struck deserted cabin and
then came row oflog and frame shant--
les, nearly filling the space between the
hills. Fallen derricks and rotting shaft
houses told the story-an old run-out
mining settlement, silent as the grave
Here and there lay engines and hoist
ing apparatus, over-grown with twitch
grass, but save ourselves no human be-
ing was in sight. We were all seeking
fortunes and these evidences of failure
and ruin had rather depressing effect
on our spirits. This gave way to sur
prise when the guide said:
.'Pardners, this is Aurania City. and
yers our camp.
We made our fire with lumber from
the decaying houses, only one of which
retained Il roof, and this had been the
saloon and still had sign over the
door. "Mountain Rose" the gilt let
tiers almost oblitcrated by the wintry
storms. Everything indicating sud
den flight by the old residentcrs years
before, and while smoking around the
! fire that night We We're told the history
of the ruined city.
In the early days of Denver guant
giant of Il Missourian known rs Parson
| Emslic lived there He was a religious
c.ank and although total v uneducatcd
preached with a fire and ttrvor that
made him an oracle to a little flock of
midllc-aged miners. One day in the
kites he announced from the st ore box
that served for 4 pulpit that the prom
is. made by Godto the righteous was
about to he fulfilled. He had seen in
a vision sign that would make them
all rich. and in the morning he would
start ont to claim and locate the new
Ellorado. SO on the morrow, with
one coihpanion, he left Deliver and in
side ofa month returned bringing speci-
mems of silver cllorides of incredible
richness. 'EmSlie WAS an expert miner
and in money matters knew perfectly
well what he was about. and was more
over a man who would stand no bull
doing, so deaf to all threats and en-
treaties to give way the location of his
find he started off with Il party of his
followers. and acted so promptly that
by the time the rush came his location
was made, all the best claims Staked
of, and like a meteor Aurania City
arose. 81. -
1t was about the first of the chloride
discoveries, and the prospects were i'm
mense. Inside Of two weeks 5, 900 peo
pie were camped in and around the new
city,! Emslie's party helped one ahoth

And now it was accepted rs certainty
that the chlorid deposit was lost, and
nothing but removing the adjacent
mountains could regain it, and so the
camp broke up. All supplies were
purchased over the mountains and
living was enormously high, so a
perfect stampede set in. Some of the
old mans friends tried in vain to per-
suade him to leave, but he seemed
dazed, and so they divided their sup
plies of food with him and left for a
new Eldorado 100 miles north.
How long after this the desolate old
father fingered is not known, but the
coyotes were the only living things in
Aurania by the time snow fell.
For sae next two years prospectors
occasionally came across Emslie, with
a pack mule, always in the widest
recesses of the Sierras. He was in
rags, wore his beard and hair long, and
was generally blieved to be mad.
Coverdale had escaped from English
Justice and reached Mexico, and in
1867, penniless and in bad health, he
came to Tucson, Arizona. Here he
met a country-man, and in company
they started north. Billet soon found
that his partner was cur, who fatty
refused to take to the road as means
of living. He wanted to get to Cali
fornia, where he would find country
men, and then his old luck would re-
yive. He told his associate the story
of Aurania and was proud Of his skill
with which he had got rid of his Ameri-
can WIFE

After days tramp in the burning
sun, footsore and weary they came to
a water hold near "Old Camp Reno"
Billet was desperate and swore he
would kill the first man he met if only
for the price of a drink, and cursed his
companion as cowardly sneak whose
only weapon was Il lying tongue.
The well-matched pair We're wrang-
ling and blashpheming, when sudden
ly through the mesquit brush came Il
tall old man. He was clad partly in
skins and his face was hidden by his
long hair and beard. \ burro not
much bigger than dog followed him,
bearing few pans and miners
tools.
He stepped into the road but gave
no answer to Billet's query:
"Where are We from, pardner?'
"Curse the old beggar, he amt worth
robbing," said Coverdale, as Billet laid
his hand on his knife. After long
