WAYS OF THE DRUMMER.
Expert Opinion by One who Evident
ly Knows the Species.

The gentleman who is called the
drummer is frequently the whole band
and Il brass band at that. There is
cons equently music in the air when
he is around. After he is gone the
music is OF another brand, for the
man who has bought bill of goods
that he didn't want frequently says
things.
The drummer is a great builder.
Som etimes he makes as many as
three towns in a day. One would
think while he was at II that he
would make few hotels, for he Is
never satisfied with the ones that
he finds along the way.
Let us be kind to the drummer, re-
membering that he is human and fire.

The only stone "One Who Knows"
could find TO fling at Moore, the
founder OF this paper and one OF the
present firm OF Moore & Turner, is
that he lis transient who hit this
country some two or three years ago
sockless and penniless. 1t is abso-
lutely certain that the writer OF that
came into Utah less than forty years
ago not only Sockless, but hatless,
painless, even without a britch.cloth,
and certainly brainless. We have
no evidence al tins time that he has
yet made the raise OF pair of socks.
and the articles this writer has diShed
up in Truth" is proof that he has
added nothing to his mental capacity
in these forty years As TO Moore's
increase IL can be proved by the laun-
dryman That he sent to him at one
single time less than two weeks ago
exactly nineteen pair of socks. That
isn't bad raise, and TO this il NAV be
added that during the three years
since he dropped into Logan "penni-
less" Moore has lived and had being.
that THE REPUBLICAN which he
founded while "pcnnileSS" and which
he and Mr.. Fred Turner have operat-
ed under a lease for two years, has to-
day circulation not eclipsed by any
paper in the state outside OF Salt Lake
city and Ogden; that the prospects
look bright enough TO lead Moore to
believe that though he came into
Logan both sockless and pennilesS he
need not go out that way. Will zone

pEPYs AT AN EXECUTION.
Punishment Of MaIefactors in England
in Year 1868.


In the early days Of public execu-
tions. II was no uncommon thing for
the condemned man to be hanged on
the scene Of the crime, or even at his
home. Mr. Pepys attended such a
spectacle on Jan. 81, 1868, for we read
the following entry in his diary
up, and after sending my wife to
my Aunt Wrigbt's to get a place to
see Turner hanged, I to the Change.
and. seeing people flock in the city,
inquired and found that Turner was
not yet hanged; so | went among
them to Leadenhall street, at the end
of Lyme street, near where the rob
berry was done. and to st. Mary Axe,
where he lived. And there ! got for
shilling. to stand upon the wheel Of
cart. in great pain, above an hour be-
fore the execution was done, he delay
ing the time by long discourses and
prayers. one after another, in hopes
of a reprieve; but none came, and at
last was flung off the ladder in his
cloak. A comely looking man he was.
