mostly of yellow Japanese kimona. After
raising the window shades to let in some
sunlight her first words were to the effect
that she was dreadfully sorry to have kept
her callers waiting-which was not the
truth-and the callers answered that they
had not minded waiting in the least-which
was another big whopper. They were not
very well acquainted, the hostess and her
visitors. and they had a hard time OF it

SURRENDER OF LEE.
1.-THE news of the surrender of General
Lees army was received here last night
about II o'clock. 1t spread like wildfire.
The bells were rung, large bonfires were
kindled at the street corners and a great
crowd of citizens collected about the tele-
graph Office to whom the dispatches were
read. Artillery was brought out and the
thunders of 100 guns aroused drowsy citi-
zens who had slept through the previous
uproar. Brass bands played the national
airs. speeches were made from boxes and
barrel heads, and groups of citizens peram-
bulated the streets cheering. shouting and
singing patriotic songs. indianapolis never

a picket fence, which shut out the public
entirely.
The first important jubilation in the Cir
Gle was an impromptu glorification in cele-
bration of the laying of the Atlantic cable
in August, 1857. This was followed later
by more elaborate one at which Governor
Wallace made the last public address of

PLEDGES.

There has been much said by
some writer's os this state about
the pledges the Mormon people
made at the time statehood was
given Utah. Bat what those
pledges were no one seems to
know, or il they do, they fail to
tell the people. The thing
which appears to hurt some
writer's the most is because the
Mormons are not quite willing to
sit supinely by and let men who
come to this state for the avowed
purpose of running the political
machinery of the state in their
own interest, so they can capture
all the fat offices. III the much
talked of pledges indicate any
thing of this kind then be as
sured that somebody is going to
be badly fooled, for the Nor
mons are not that kind of citi-
zens. They have political rights
like other citizens and they are
going to exercise those rights
according to the spirit and the
genius of the constitution which
gives the right to all American
citizens to vote for whom they
please.
