Especial Telegram to the Glohe.l


CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Capt. Moylan, who is
perhaps one of the most entertaining of the
witnesses thus far examined in the Reno case,
was again on the stand to-day. Amongst the
questions asked him were whether the command
of Reno could have been so formed when the at
tack was first made as to protect itself. He did
not think it could have been so disposed as to
hold the position and protect itself under the
circumstances. The object Of getting out of
the timber was, In his opinion, to save the
command. The witness believed that in view
OF the uncertainty regarding support the re-
treat was less in furious than it would have
been to remain in the timber, for he did not
believe the command could have remained there
thirty minutes longer without loosing MANY
more men than it did, of course pursued. He
thought further that if the Indians had fol-
lowed up the troops, and closed in upon them
on the hill, the command could not have held
out against them until relief came, for its
ammunition would have g iven out. He did
not know how many men were killed at the
river crossing, and did not think the crossing
was covered bya organized body of men to
protect the rest in getting over. It was about
an hour after Reno got into position on the hill
that the witness heard firing in the direction
OF what afterwards proved to be Clusters bat
tleteld. The firing was faint, and Captain
AlcDougall, whose attention was called to it,
said he supposed it was Custer fighting at the
end of the village, down the bottom. As to
Renos conduct in the bottom, whether brave
or cowardly, the witness said: sat times Major
Reno rode at the head of the column, at other
times at the center, and again at the rear. In
all the orders which he gave to witness he man
ifested as much self-possession as any man
would under the circumstances, and he saw
nothing in Major Reno's conduct Indicative of
Tn had tbo
remained in the timber it would have been
annihilated.

Winter and Spring butter is often very
much injured in flavor by allowing COWS
to eat the litter from horse stables. Cows
are NOT unfrequently very fond Of this
litter, though it is impregnated with IL
quid manure from the horses, and if al
lowed they eat greedily and the effect Is
that their milk and butter will be tainted
with the taste Of this kind of food. in the
same way that the flavor is injured by eat
ing turnips, but to = more disa%recable
degree. If litter is allowed 10 he eaten,
it should he given 10 cattle not in milk,
and on no account should milch cows be
allowed 10 consume other than the sweet
est and purcst food Very nice butter
makers are sometimes at a loss to account
for stable taint, in butter, especially when
extraordinary precautions have been
taken to have the milking done III the
most perfect manner. and SO on in all the
processes of handling the milk until the
butter is packed for market. Still the
butter has a dySagrccable taiut, and the
cause often comes from allowing the
cows, when turned ont to water and eXcr-
else, to feed ahout the borse stable. where
they consume all the litter which, on az

In finishing q long editorial article on
the Mormons in Utah, the London Times
says:


Yankee shrewdness in adapting means
to ends is the great secret of their success.
Not satisfied with exciting enthusiasm,
the Mormon leaders have organized it.
If they get rid of Polygamy, which many
of their number assert to be not an essen
tial part of their creed, the Mormons may
possibly long continue to prosper and
populate the vast region which might
have remained a desert had they
not converted it into garden by
the exercise of patient toll and unre-
mitting industry. Not only are they
innoyators in religion, but they are also
reformers in social customs. They are
strictly temperate as Sir Wilfrid Lawson
could desire any man to be; good Nor
mons neither drink intoxicants nor smoke
tobacco. Brigham Young even abstained
from tea and coffee on the ground that
they were stimulants. Female suffrage
has been introduced into the Territory of
Utah. Cooperative associations have
long existed among the Mormons. In
deed, the stranger who walks along the
streets of their capital is struck with sign
boards on which is painted the Afl-seeing
Eye, the motto, Holiness to the Lord
and the intimation "Zion's Cooperative
Mercantile Institution" 1t is the boast
OF the Mormons that drunkenness and the
sin of great cities were unknown in Salt
Lake City, till the mines of the Territory
caused an influx of the Gentiles, and till
the strict regulations of the church
authorities were disregarded by the
authorities of the United States. The
education of the young is conducted with
care, and the Deseret university is as use
ful an institution as any one of its kind
in the Western States. Degrees are given
in it for proficiency in one of the three
courses of study-the classical, the scien-
tific and the commercial. As might
be expected, the commercial course
is preferred by students. The work
OF the classroom is representa-
tion of the work done in merchants
counting house; and the student is
taught not only how to carry on mercan-
tile correspondence, how to dispatch tele-
grams, insure property, recover compensa-
tion for injury or loss, but also how to
manage postal and telegraphic, bank
ing and an insurance Office. Mormonism
Is, in fact, curious mixture of discredita-
BILE and praiseworthy elements. That it
would not survive the death of Brigham
Young was confidently predicted by
many persons who had studied it on the
spot. Yet the death of its unscrupulous
leader has not had any apparent effect
upon it. A body which will soon number
10000 may not easily be got rid of or
dissolved.

The steamship England reached New
York from Liverpool after rough pas
sage. When a 'longshoreman descended
into the fore hold, which was slowed
full of barrels, packed so closely as to
leave only a space of about three feet
between them and the deck, he heard
talking, and suddenly touched something
that his lantern showed to be a human
body. Soon aiterward the sailors
dragged to the light man, still alive and
conscious, but so reduced by starvation
that lie was only living skeleton, with
skinllike shriveledparchment drawn over
his bones. The ships physician trie to
force nourishment down the stowaway's
throat; but he was too far gone, and
in half an hour he died. 1t was evident
that he was a foreigner, and when he
was first taken on deck an Austrian girl
from among the steerage passengers sue
ceeded in understanding few words
that he was able to murmur. He begged
for water, said that he had tasted neither
food nor drink since the day the ship
sailed and that his name was Harry"
That was all he was able to say. His
body was sent to the morgue. In the
narrow space into which the stowaway
had squeezed himself just before the
steamship sailed, he could only lie down


or crawl around over the heads OF tt g


barrels; but could not stand nor. cou q


he sit upright. His clothing show q


that in his terrible hunger ne had


gnawed it, as he had also gnawed blts OF

What is the remedy for the drawn
face, torpid liver and dead stomach of
the man at the desk, at the counter and
pulpit A little play would be good for
him perhaps, also "A little blue pill at
first, but less and less pill and more play
play pure and simple. We want less
of Wall street, more of seaside and
mountain. Let the man OF many cares,
and slave to them, strike for freedom,
shake off his cares and return to nature.
It is a chance between losing time in the
grave and losing time in play, which is
fitly named recreation. Many man
thinks he has no love for fishing, but he
has. 1t is latent in all men. The whiz
of a reel and the bend of pole will
wake it. 1t will wake the dead. What
is the loss of day to the landing of q
bass, or even pickerelp "The thoughts
of youth are long, long thoughts" We
have used them vilely, but they survive
even in the time of gray hair and the
evil days when we say we have no pleas
ure in them. A days play is days
"ourney toward youth; it takes the
black out OF the blood, it jogs the liver.
If the man Freeman had gone fishing all
day and had a fisherman's luck, he
would not have killed his daughter; he
would have been too sleepy to think ol
it. With boys weariness comes also
the boys sleep. Men need to touch


earth, to breathe air, and air that has


not been breathed. Man is an animal


whatever else and more he is, and must


observe the conditions of animal lite.-

A merchant doing business near the
foot of Jefferson avenue used to spend
about half his time in explaining to
callers why he could not sign petitions,
lend small sums, buy books or invest in
moonshine enterprises, but that time
has passed, and it now takes him only
two minutes to get rid of the most per-
sistent case. The other day a man
called to sell him map of Michigan.
He had scarcely made known his errand
when the merchant put on his hat and
said:


Come, and I'll see about it.


He led the way to boiler shop, two
blocks distant, wherein hundred ham
mers were pounding at iron, and walk
ing to the centre of the shop and into
the midst of the deafening racket he
turned to the agent and kindly shouted

rived. Frank is fond of a joke, so when
the time came for sending the first dis
patch he loudly sounded on the machine,
How are YOU, Spicer?n The profess
sional ear of Spicer instantly caught
the words, and, wondering who it was,
Strengthened up and stared at the stage
as if he would give two dollars and
half to know something more.


"Spicer, how's your mammaW quickly
followed from the instrument, and the
mystified Spicer confidingly turned to
his fair partner to express his astonish-
ment at the most singular circumstance.
AS luck had it the auditorium held quite
a delegation of operators, who knowing
Spicer and his great characteristic of
bashfulness, with one accord began to
look around the theater for him.


Spicer had hardly began telling the
young lady about it when there came
another message:


"Aha! old Spicerl Don't fool that
confiding creature with any of your non
sense"


This aroused thsrtelegraphers to a
pitch of curiosity, and many of them
stood gazing about them as if their only
object in life was to discover Spicer.
And he felt that they saw him, and the
confusion which bad been gradually
covering his features grew into mortiti-
cation when he saw so many eyes leveled
at him, and at last eliminated in his
hasty withdrawal from the theater.


But Frank sent a parting shot, for as
he faded from view he heard


Goodbye, Spicer; but don't forget
her tendency for ice cream"


When it is considered that this scene
forms the climax of an exceedingly
thrilling point of the play, and Mr..
Byron IS dramatically explaining with
wild gesticulations to the audience what
the instrument is supposed to be saying,
the modest Spicer's embarrassment can
be understood.


Hastily as we have glanced at the
brighter and cheerful side, there is now
room for the dark one. But messages
of sorrow and death burden the lonG
slender wires and trip through the click
ing instruments. Living dramas ar
constantly wrought through their mutt
agency, and of this perhaps they ar
speaking when at the quiet of midnigh
we hear from them that strange Hollal
music like voices from spirit land, tina
deep within us finds responsive chord
thrilling and saddening us.-Clnc6n'aat

A chute is laid from the rivers brink
UP the steep mountain to the railroad,
and while we are telling it the monster
logs are rushing, laundering. flying,
leaping down the declivity. They come
with the speed of thunderbolt, and
somewhat of its roar. A track of fire
and smoke follows them-fire struck by
their friction with the chute logs. They
descend the 100 feet of the chute in
fourteen seconds. In doing so they drop
700 feet perpendicular. They strike the
deep water of the pond with report
that can be heard mile distant.


Logs fired from a cannon could scarcely
have greater velocity than they have at
the foot of the chute. The average
velocity is over 100 feet in q second
throughout the entire distance, and at
the instant they leap from the mouth
their speed must be fully 200 per second.
A sugar pine log sometimes weighs ten
tons. What missile! How the water
is dashed into the air! Like a grand
plume of diamonds and rainbows, the
feathery spray is hurled into the air to
the height of 100 feet. 1t forms the

the waters of the pond foam and seethe
and lash against the shore.

Ex-Gov Myron IL. Clark of New York
for nearly quartery of century has

was made Governor a> long ago as 1851 by
the votes Of temperance men, and was
known as the prohibition governor. Since
that time he has ON several occasions given
his support to the Prohibition party and is
regarded by the believers in that principle
As one of their staunchest associates. Hav-
ing been invited TO preside at a ratification
meeting OF the nominations of the Prohibi
ton party in Cooper Institute, the week
before election, Gov. Clark responds in
fraok letter declining the honor rendered
him. in which he says:


Until we can make sure that We are Il
nation, and not confederacy, and get
back to that position, and shall firmly es-
tAblish freedom of speech and vote amongst
all our citizens in all the States, | think it
wise and best to hold the prohibition ques-
ton in abeyapce. Notwithstanding the ad-
dition of the thirteenth, fourteenth and If
teenth amendments to the National Con-
stitution, they are now generally nullited,
ignored or evaded by the Southland it
was, perhaps, blunder in the ruling pow
er OF the Government that some of the lead
ing and head men of the rebellion were not
prosecuted, tried and hung for treason
that those VINO had llited muruerous hanuS
against the Republic were, in the kindness
OF the Northern heart, not only forgiven
their personal transgressions, but re-en-
dowed with the privilege of participating
in the Government aud administering the
heritage Of future generations, while still
in disposition and intention enemies to the
nation; and another mistake in allowing
the rebeliOuS States to ceme back into the
Union until sufficient time had elapsed
for probation and repentance, as terrific
ries, and an assurance of good behavior
hereafter.


deem it now the first duty of all good
citizens to use their vote and influence to
establish freedom in all parts of our coun-

importance that the Republican principles

A writer in London Land and Water
saws: Perhaps the reader has never
considered how all birds obtain the
gloss on their feathers which makes
them proof against water. Waterfowl
are, OF course, supplied with a thicker
coating OF feathers than land birds, but
all have the faculty of procuring the oily
matter to cover their feathers and resist
water getting in between. Have you
ever noticed, when bird was plucked,
small protruberance above the tail,
furnished with pencil-like tuft OF
feathers 1t is here that the ointment
is hidden; and the bird has the power to
raise the thicker feathers that cover
this spot, and, passing its head over 1T,
obtains enough matter at time to COM
municate it to the rest of its plumage.
And it is truly interesting to watch a
duck pluning itself and covering its
feathers with the oil that is required for
keeping out the water. AS this part OF
the body is liable to give an unpleasant
flavor to the flesh, it ought to be cut of
before cooking"
