WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... MAY 5, 1877. SALT LAKE JOURNALISM. Journalism in Salt Lake is of a very vigorous kind. A spade is called a spade; no circumlocution or unnecessary waste of words is indulged in. The wild-eyed editor hits out straight from the shoulder, caring not if the force of the blow causes pain and sadness to the recipient. These remarks occur to us as we peruse the Salt Lake Daily Tribune, a Gentile organ; and by way of illustrating its manner of paying compliments, we clip with our trusty scissors the following item from the local columns in reference to a neighboring journal: "In her daily wailings, Grandmother says: 'We know that the Mormon men honestly marry women according to their views of the marital relation, and protect and provide for them and their children.' We know they do, Granny; but when they are brought up before a court of justice to prove it, they invariably swear to the contrary. We know further, that when the women are too old to go out washing for the benefit of the lecherous old scoundrels, they are turned out homeless upon the world. Tell us something about these Latter-day Thugs we don't know, Granny." The writer of that elegant paragraph exhibits a commendable desire for information, which we hope "Grandmother" will see fit to impart. If the old lady does make up her mind to convey the desired intelligence, it may be set down as probable that her language will be as vigorous, terse and pointed as that of her interrogator. Another choice morceaux from the same paper has just fallen under our eagle eye, and again we plunge our shining weapon into its columns and resurrect the following: The Ogden Junction wants all the Gentiles cleaned out of Utah. That's what Brigham Young wanted when he exterminated the Arkansas emigrants. When that dirty English polygamist editor who left his country between two days to escape transportation at the expense of the Government, talks about cleaning Americans out of Utah, it is about time a square Yankee boot was placed where it would do him the most good. Certainly it is. We hope that by this time the needed poultice has been applied. In such an emergency procrastination is a crime. INFORMATION FOR IMMIGRANTS. We are in receipt of a letter and circular from the Immigrant Bureau in connection with the State Grange, in which they state, among other things, that, in two days of one week in April, 23 car loads of immigrants arrived at San Francisco. This is good evidence that the tide of immigration has once more set in steadily from the East for the season. The Bureau is anxious to have all the information possible to aid them in directing these would be settlers to the most desirable locations for homes, and so ask us to give them a variety of information through the medium of our columns. Believing that we cannot better serve the true interests of our subscribers than by doing all in our power to encourage the right sort of immigration, and discouraging that class of people from coming here of whom we have already an excess, we venture to make use of our columns to-day to give a brief statement of the condition, prospects, resources, &c., of our district, though the facts therein recited may be better understood to many of our readers, and may prove to them rather stale reading. The first question is, "What does land sell for?" We answer—Uncultivated land ranges from $25 per acre for fair lands all the way to $75 for prime lots, and improved lands vary from $50 upwards to almost any sum; but excellent improved lands are purchasable at from $75 to $150. The character of the soil and climate is the next question. The character of the soil in our district is so varied that its general character is difficult to define. It changes so often within a small area that we can find no better way of giving an idea of its character than by referring to the nature of our products, recited further on. Sandy loam and meaa, swampy and grazing—all kinds of lands abound; and no matter what particular branch of industry the new comer desires to engage in, he can be sure of finding the soil to suit him. Of our climate we can only say that so much has been written in its favor that anything more would be surplusage. Our average annual temperature is 55°, ranging from 30° to 85°—these figures giving the average wages run about the same as the State—$20 to $40 a month unskilled labor, and $3 to $8 annie. In this connection we draw the attention of East this fact. Workmen East owe than eight months in the year can work the year round; and rate of wages than they compare their yearly earnings would are in brief the answers put, and we shall take occasion to prove beneficial to intending Westminster FROM OUR REGULAR COUNTRY On Tuesday ele colonists to celebrate May Day at the town doubt that moving-time has kept passing all the forenoon fifty-five teams at the beach tics were off driving and other we counted. Probably there less than seventy teams and of saddle-horses. There many persons there—the largest met at Bolaa Chica. The All of Westminster played which was enjoyed by the crew them. Some fine plays were occupied the time and attent others bathed in the surf, beach, chatted, read, or cried in other ways. Lunch was after eating everyone had. We took an extra allowance to find a representative present. After visiting different county and noting the crops this season than with ley can not be found than here. Corn looks well, as Water is plenty and Westturn out large crops this Friday. We shall visit the north this week, and can then juices compare well with with the coast. The Building Committeearian Church will receive plans for the new church edifice May 5th, and the congregation meeting in the Hall Saturday 12th, to consider the various ideas upon what action they Rev. A. M. Hough, Preacher. The Ogden Junction wants all the Gentiles cleaned out of Utah. That's what Brigham Young wanted when he exterminated the Arkansas emigrants. When that dirty English polygamist editor who left his country between two days to escape transportation at the expense of the Government, talks about cleaning Americans out of Utah, it is about time a square Yankee boot was placed where it would do him the most good. Certainly it is. We hope that by this time the needed poulence has been applied. In such an emergency procrastination is a crime. And we hope that no mistake will be made, neither in regard to the strength of the poulice nor the locality where it should be applied. Once more our keen-edged assistant is brought into requisition, and this is the result: Salt Lake polygamists speak of their "heifers' hoofs," when negotiating for shoes for wives. An exchange says: "Gov. Young, of Ohio, is a twin." We are happy to say he is not a twin of Mountain Meadow Young. These extracts from one issue of the Tribune will convey to our readers the general scope, aim and purpose of Salt Lake journalism. The medical examiner of a prominent life insurance company says that he always examines with unusual care all applicants who say that they have been gymnasts, and that he is compelled to turn away nearly three-fourths of those who excel in athletic exercises, because they have dangerously strained the organs of the heart. A WASHINGTON letter says: A $35 coupon of Union Pacific Railroad bond was received at the Treasury to-day from Albany, on account of conscience. This is the fifth installment of this character from the same person, who sends a coupon every quarter with the assertion that the money belongs to the Government. The hobby of a Boston professor is to reconstruct the week, giving it only five days called Oweday, Twoday, Threeday, Fourday, and Godday, or the Sabbath. The shortening is intended to give more days of rest, and the change of names is for the purpose of discarding those of heathen origin. To have a Godday every five days would indeed be glorious. A very useful head-dress is worn by the inhabitants of the tract of country between Mercara and Mangalore, in the Madras Presidency. A skull cap is made of a leaf of the arca nut, which is so hard that any weight can be carried on it without injuring the head while it effectually protects the wearer from the sun. Inside the cap the owner keeps a store of hotel leaf and arca nuts, and when hungry shakes his head and lets his larder drop into his hand. In the evening the treasured head-piece fans the fire for cooking, makes an excellent drinking-bowl, and is finally used as a tureen. Of our climate we can only say that so much has been written in its favor that anything more would be surplusage. Our average annual temperature is 55°F ranging from 30°F to 85°F—these figures giving the average annual extremes. Indeed, for a climate to live in and enjoy we know no superior. Much has been said and sung of the glorious Italian climate. We are in receipt of letters from Italy which prove beyond doubt that our climate is the preferable of the two. At no season of the year does one need to dispense with blankets at night; at no time is one inconvenienced by snow and its attendant discomforts. The only unpleasantness we have from climatic sources is caused from the so-called Santa Ana winds, but they are of such seldom occurrence as to be insignificant under any circumstances, and are totally outweighed by the other great advantages. Distance from market comes next. San Francisco is the only real market at present existing in California, though Los Angeles, with its railroad communications and the opening up of Arizona, is destined at no distant day to become a good market. San Francisco is distant from our section some 470 miles. We have ample communication, both by water and rail. But the producer has no need to become also a shipper. Commission men abound, and almost all our storekeepers are willing and anxious to receive produce for consignment. In Anaheim we have two large storehouses capable of containing a good quantity of produce, and farmers can easily dispose of their produce delivered at the Landing or at the railroad depot. As to kind and quality of crops raised, we answer that in our immediate vicinity the following list of crops raised occurs to us at once: barley, wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, beets, grapes, hops, alfalfa, limes, lemons and oranges, castor beans, and an infinity of fruits and vegetables, such as peaches, plums, tomatoes, etc., etc. Our crops are a fair average all round; some, as for instance hops and corn, yield enormously; but all maintain a good, high average for excellence and quantity. Is the rain usually sufficient to ensure crops? and what are the irrigation facilities? In such a year as the last, the rainfall is ample to ensure crops; but this year crops not irrigable will be largely lost. Our section, however, is very far advanced in irrigating facilities, and when the so-called big ditch is completed, which it inevitably must be in short order, no one need fear drought in our section. As it is at present, with the ditches already made and the numerous wells in operation, it is only isolated portions of our county that suffer in a dry year. And much of the often within a small area that we can find no better way of giving an idea of its character than by referring to the nature of our products, recited further on.

Brunet, a writer in La Nature, who asserts that, going into his garden one day, just before a storm, he observed the bees crowding into their hives. Near one of the hives was a toad which every now and then rose on his forelegs and made a dart, with surprising quickness, towards blades of grass. He was found to be devouring bees which were resting on the grass blades awaiting their chance to enter the hive. M. Brunet waited until twelve victims had been devoured, expecting to see the toad's voracity punished by a sting, but no such result occurred. The toad was twice removed to quite a distance from the hive, but both times he returned to the spot in a few hours. Brigham Young preached in the Tabernacle at Salt Lake, on Saturday, a sermon justifying the Mountain Meadow Massacre on the ground that the Gentiles had killed the original Mormon Prophet, Joe Smith, and had driven the Mormons from Missouri and other States by force of arms. He concluded by defying any power on earth or in hell to overthrow his church, and assured his hearers that the Mormons would continue their practices and dot the whole of Utah with their temples. The New York Herald's correspondent writes: The conviction is general among diplomats that a secret treaty exists between Germany and Russia. It is admitted in all quarters that Russia would never have dared to move if she did not hold the most solemn guarantees from Germany that the latter would not interfere with her operations. Whether the war is to extend or be isolated, remains in the hands of Germany, not of Austria, for all the latter's mobilizing and protesting. With the Czar and his Uncle Kaiser Wilhelm united, the course of Austria may be predicted as never opposing their desires. Is the rain usually sufficient to ensure crops? and what are the irrigation facilities? In such a year as the last, the rainfall is ample to ensure crops; but this year crops not irrigable will be largely lost. Our section, however, is very far advanced in irrigating facilities, and when the so-called big ditch is completed, which it inevitably must be in short order, no one need fear drought in our section. As it is at present, with the ditches already made and the numerous wells in operation, it is only isolated portions of our county that suffer in a dry year. And much of the suffering that now occurs in a dry season might be obviated by pursuing the plan of Winter irrigation. The Santa Ana river, which traverses our valley, contains ample water year in and year out to irrigate all the crops the valley can raise, and the ditch system will soon be in condition to deliver it whenever and wherever needed. As to public lands, all we have to say is that there are none of any consequence in our district. Land can be rented on shares occasionally; but experience, we think, will show the desirability of each man paddling his own canoe. In school facilities, we venture to say that no district, we care not where it is, can surpass ours. They are ample for all purposes. No one need keep his children at home in Los Angeles county for the want of a school within a stone's throw to send them to. Our teachers will compare favorably with any, and our entire educational system is good. So also in regard to churches. They abound, and we need give but one illustration—Anaheim, with a population of 1200, has three churches. The chances for employment depend entirely upon the character of the people seeking it. Firstly, then, we would say with all earnestness, charity and good-feeling to doctors, lawyers, clerks, book-keepers and all that class of people, stay away. The market is glutted with them, and unless they wish to become experts in the art of herding sheep, we say keep away. Men skilled in farm-life and work can always find employment; so with mechanics of all kinds. The market for ordinary unskilled labor is not so good, because we have Chinese and Indian labor to contend with; but a steady, soler man can always find employment; laborers of any other stripe had better stay away. Orange was almost deserted. Our informant tells us that only 27 recitations at the were not near through.

Another race or two would moralize the moral chaps stated that one young gentleman sleep, while another "Hate goes."

They will visit their stock their boat with these pelts, and propose returning so, when we expect to learn concerning these old and tainted.

Mr. Meyers, of Elizabethtown many friends a visit on May to his school, near San Bernardino. Mr. Rowell, of the Trail Taustin; Mr. Wileox, of others visited our city of Lansing. The water question was brought before the public. Mr. Barricklow has resided with the water company since his place as superintendent van Zanjoero. Santa Ana can find enidlers in a civil suit where in State cases they draw out of Orange to decide their difficulties. This possibly we have heard men that from their work express even in a formable and conducive manner. Mr. Anderson Sr. has taken hotel and the travelling part a more genial host, did the ever. Mr. Anderson and Wages run about the same as in other parts of the State—$20 to $40 a month and board for unskilled labor, and $3 to $4 a day for mechanics. In this connection we would like to draw the attention of Eastern workmen to this fact. Workmen East cannot work more than eight months in the year. Here they can work the year round; so at even a lower rate of wages than they could get in the East, their yearly earnings would be larger. These are in brief the answers to the questions put, and we shall take occasion hereafter to give such hints and advice as we think will prove beneficial to intending immigrants. Westminster Items. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. On Tuesday the colonists turned out on mase to celebrate May Day at the Bola Chica beach. No one living near the main roads would doubt that moving-time had arrived. Early in the morning teams commenced passing and kept passing all the foremoon. We counted fifty-five teams at the beach and several parties were off driving and others had left before we counted. Probably there were in all not less than seventy teams and a large number of saddle-horseas. There must have been 350 persons there—the largest gathering that ever met at Bola Chica. The Alert base ball club of Westminster played a practice game, which was enjoyed by the crowd who watched them. Some fine plays were made. Croquet occupied the time and attention of some; others bathed in the surf, strolled along the beach, chatted, read, or enjoyed themselves in other ways. Lunch was not neglected, and after eating everyone had a satisfied look. We took an extra allowance with us, expecting to find a representative of the GAZETTE present. After visiting different sections in this county and noting the crop prospects, we feel that nowhere are the chances better for crops this season than with us. Better barley can not be found than some to be seen here. Corn looks well, as also do potatoes. Water is plenty and Westminster ought to turn out large crops this Fall. We shall visit the north part of the State this week, and can then judge whether our crops compare well with what they have up the coast. The Building Committee of the Presbyterian Church will receive plans and estimates for the new church edifice up to Saturday, May 5th, and the congregation will hold a meeting in the Hall Saturday afternoon, May 12th, to consider the various plans, and decide upon what action they will take. Rev. A. M. Hough, Presiding Elder for BY TELEGRAPH. The President's Views on Various Matters. Chicago, May 2. The Tribune's Washington special says: The President to-day said to Dr. Loring, Member-elect to the present House, that he did not anticipate that the extra session would have a disturbing influence upon the country, nor did he believe a Republican candidate would be elected Speaker. He does not expect that his Southern policy will integrate either party, but that it will have a softening influence upon the Southern people and modify their political action. The Journal's Washington special says, "Some Southern men, who have lately talked with the President, say that he will favor the passage of the Texas Pacific Railroad bill. He has lately given considerable attention to the subject and to the collection of official information regarding the country through which the road will pass. Friends of the project assert very positively that the President, in his message to Congress at the extra session, will indorse and recommend necessary legislation to enable the road to be built. Southern men say that the endorsement of this road is to be a part of the President's Southern policy, and is indicative of further evidence that he desires that the people of the South may enjoy the same commercial advantages as those living North." A Tragedy in Mississippi. Jackson, Miss., May 1. On Thursday evening John W. Galley, a prominent citizen of Emporia, was assassinated by an unknown party. The excitement was intense and every means was taken to discover the murderer: On Saturday, two negroes made affidavit that Benjamin Rush, a white man, did the deed, and that Judge Chisholm, a Republican candidate for Congress from the third district, his son and Gilmer Rosenbaum instigated the crime. Chisholm and his son were arrested and with the women of the family, who wished to share the imprisonment, were put in jail. On Sunday Gilmer came to the jail to see Chisholm. A warrant was ready for him, but when he got to the jail a mob set upon him killed him overpowered in jail and above all useful and malicious Ward Lamble any one I article in this related only condescendence when I find nails, and at that brave trimmpham whom are no scandal undicted.

Rev. A. M. Hough, Presiding Elder for this district, delivers a lecture in the Methodist church Saturday evening. Subject "Among the modern Institutions and Ancient Monuments of Egypt." Admission, 50 cents. Mr. Hough is a fluent and pleasant speaker and will give a most interesting lecture. Quarterly meeting services will be held in the Methodist church Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and Sunday at 11:45 A.M., and 7:30 P.M. Caldwell & Chase, who are boring Mr. Gates' well, have obtained 1½ inch flow at 180 feet and expect to finish the well to-morrow. By piercing they think the flow will be increased to at least 2 inches and probably 2½. As this well is on the highest land aboundhere, NW. of Mr. Bessonett's brick house, where well boring has been deemed risky, it is considered a success of no small importance. It will create a demand for lands in that section still unsold. Mr. Hensler has purchased 20 acres north of Mr. Lawson and west of the cemetery. We shall be absent next week, but will arrange with some one to send you a letter if enough items can be gathered to furnish material. The Alerts of Westminster will play a match game with the Santa Ana base ball club at the school house, on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. J. T. May lst. Orange items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The Orange picnic ground in Santiago Canyon, is one of the finest natural parks, we venture to say, in the State. R. L. Crowder is exceedingly "white," that is, his barn and, other buildings have whitewashed, and his store refilled and he is now ready to whitewash the people." The health restoring atmosphere of the Santiago Canyon, and its beautiful scenery together with its many bachelor ranchers, is becoming famous for the health seeking invalids, especially ladies, 9,999 vehicles, more or less passed through town on May day bound for the picnic. Dr. Chase should publish a book entitled "What he knows concerning things in Southern California." Cold climate recipes in many cases prove a failure in this climate. Orange was almost deserted on May-day. Our informant tells us that he listened to only 27 recitations at the pic-nic, and they were not near through. Pic-nics are a glorious place for one horse orators, as no one of judgment listens long enough to criticise, and only elocutionists are deeply interested. Speech-making is well enough in its place, but we never thought pic-nics was the place. Another race or two would completely demoralize the moral chaps of Orange. It is stated that one young gent sells pools in his sleep, while another "Hasany." And so it goes. John Morrissey's Saratoga gambling house, the Argyle rooms on Sixth avenue, and the Alhambra, with its fifty waiter girls, in London, all crowded into one. The building is perhaps 50 by 130 feet, and two stories high. On the ground floor is a theatre stage, room for 300 cow boys, soldiers, raachmen, and waiter girls and just out of it are the gambling tables and bars. At the tables every known game is played. Among the dealers are several French women dressed in silks and diamonds. Utterly devoid of delicacy they shuffle and deal the cards and handle the chips for the swearing, drinking crowd which throng around the table. On the stage there is a constant variety show going on. Skillful variety actors are employed, and there the tight-rope walkers, the song and dance women in tights, the low-necked ballad singer, the clog dancer, the negro ministrel, the model artists, and the female bathers come out in a continuous stream from ten at night till morning. On the first floor every drink is 25 cents, and about thirty English. French, and American waiter girls keep the crowd constantly drinking. About this motley of cow boys, ranch men, Black Hills freighters, miners, and soldiers, is a row of private boxes filled with rich ranch men, officers, tourists, and fellows who have come down with gold dust from the Black Hills. These boxesall communicate with the stage. Twenty- or thirty waiter girls supply the boxes with champagne; the price of which is $5 for pint bottles. All drinks in the boxes are 50 cents. It is a common thing for a rich ranch man, after selling a thousand cattle, to come here and spend $1,000 on a spree. A Colonel in the army, who had been fighting up in the Big Horn country, came in the other evening and spent $1,000,and finally left his watch on the road, and lost that too. The proprietor of this gambling and variety saloon is a very generous man. Everybody likes him, and he is considered a good citizen in Cheyenne. Clergymen shake him by the hand, and bankers chum with him like an old schoolmate. The profits in this one building are $1,000 per day. I suppose there are a dozen houses on one block where gambling goes on day and night with open doors. Sometimes the marshal and the policeman take a hand. The Judge goes out and "bucks the tiger" while the jury are agreeing on a verdict. You will see Colonels in the army standing by private soldiers, and see cow boys in buckskin dividing the chips with a Cheyenne Indian—all in the most enterprising border town in America and the wickedest city in the world. ELI PERKINS. Our readers may like to know what is etiquette in Paris. Lucy Hooper treats the subject in Appleton's Journal. According to her showing, the rules of matrimonial courtship are rigorous. The suitor gets the formal permission of the parents, and bargains with them as to dowry and other financial matters before he begins to woo the woman. His first meeting with her after the settlement of the preliminaries is by exact appointment. He is carefully but not too elaborately dressed, and she is attired simply but as effectively as possible. They are then formally presented to each other. Subsequently they meet with less restraint; but before every visit he sends her a bouquet as a token that he is coming, and he invariably wears full evening dress. Miss Hooper asserts that this sort of thing continues until the marriage. She gives the following social rules that are binding in the highest Parisian society: The visiting hours are from three to six. Men wear dark gloves, and carry their hats into the drawing rooms. Visits of condolence are conducted with careful mournfulness of manner. What is considered good behavior at balls is not much different from usage in this country, except that gambling tables are adored with care and every means was taken to discover the murderer: On Saturday, two negroes made affidavit that Benjamin Rush,a white man, did the deed, and that Judge Chisholm,a Republican candidate for Congress from the third district,his son and Gilmer Rosenbaum instigated the crime. Chisholm and his son were arrested and with the women of the family,who wished to share the imprisonment,都 were put in jail.On Sunday Gilmer came to the jail to see Chisholm.A warrant was ready for himbut when he got to the jail a mob set uponand killed him overpoweredthe jailorand attacked Chisholm,mortally wounding himand killing his son.Dr Rossen and Mrs.Cisholm were severely wounded by a son of Galley,the man who was assassinated.Miss Chisholm was also seriously wounded.Rosenbaum and Hopper ,another，alleged conspirator，were carried to the woodsbythe mob to extort from them whereabounds of Rush,the alleged assassinof Galley。When last heard from some weeks ago,Rush was in Arkansas.At is supposed that Rosenbaum and Hopper were hanged.Its reported that a horrible state of affairsis existingin that section;the people are wildwith excitementand other hangingswill probably follow. Excitement over the Murders. WASHINGTON,May 2.

The Herald publishes reports from several counties in Nebraskaand western Iowa concerning grasshoppersand crop prospects.The reportsare unexpectedly favorable，onlythreeoftheplacesheardfromreportinggrasshoppersbadThereisan unusuallyfine prospectfora largelyincreasedacreage Orange was almost deserted on May-day. Our informant tells us that he listened to only 27 recitations at the picnic, and they were not near through. Pic-nics are a glorious place for one-horse orators, as no one of judgment listens long enough to criticise, and only eloquenceists are deeply interested. Speech-making is well enough in its place, but we never thought pic-nics was the place. Another race or two would completely demoralize the moral chaps of Orange. It is stated that one young gent sells pools in his sleep, while another "Hasany." And so it goes. A letter from Captains Hayward and Harris, now at Santa Catalina Island, gives a glowing account of their exploits. They lay on the water one night between mainland and the Island, owing to rough weather. They had slaughtered seven goats, and with a good supply of fish, alap-jack, turn-over, abalones and other "grub" do not intend to starve. They will visit Clementina Island, stock their boat with the finest of sheep pelts, and propose returning in ten days or so, when we expect to learn the particulars concerning these old and tried navigators. Sam'l Shrewsbury's residence is a favorite resort for pleasure and health seekers, and many there be who find their way to Sam's hospitable mansion. Aleck Caldwell visited town last week for the first time since the last. He reports everything lovely, but old bachelors at a discount. Mr. Meyers, of Elizabeth Lake, paid his many friends a visit on Mayday. Mr. Meyers is not large for his size, therefore we feel free to make these remarks. Mr. J. Manlsbury Wright was in town during the festivities of Mayday. He returns to his school, near San Bernardino, this week. Mr. Rowell, of the Trabuco; Mr. Sallee, of Tustin; Mr. Wilcox, of the suburbs, and others visited our city of late. The water question will be vigorously brought before the public to-morrow. Mr. Barricklow has resigned all connection with the water company, Mr. Isbell taking his place as superintendent, and Mr. Woods zanjero. Santa Ana can find enough bummers and idlers in a civil suit, where the fee pays, but in State cases they draw on the laboring men of Orange to decide their one-hour drinking difficulties. This possibility is all right, but we have heard men that were taken away from their work express a different opinion, even in a forcible and conclusive manner. Mr. Anderson Sn has taken charge of the hotel and the marvelling public could not find a more genial host, did they travel the world over. Mr. Anderson and his amiable lady He is carefully not too seriously treated, and she is attired simply but effectively as possible. They are then formally presented to each other. Subsequently they meet with les restraint; but before every visit he sends her a bouquet as a token that he is coming, and he invariably wears full evening dress. Miss Hooper asserts that this sort of thing continues until the marriage. She gives the following social rules that are binding in the highest Parisian society: The visiting hours are from three to six. Men wear dark gloves, and carry their hats into the drawing rooms. Visits of condolence are conducted with careful mournfulness of manner. What is considered good behavior at balls is not much different from usage in this country, except that gambling tables are adjuncts of fashionable entertainments, and may be played at without insuring censure. Reception days are an institution, both for men and women, and at such receptions refreshments are not essential. As to dinners: "At dinner the host and hostess occupy each end of the table. Should the host be a widower, he would insult his guests did he place a young woman at the other end of his table. If a gentleman be placed next to a young unmarried girl at a dinner party, he must converse with her very little, and only upon the most trivial subjects. It is very rude for a lady to pretend at a dinner party to be a small eater and to boast of her lack of appetite—such a proceeding is an insult to her entertainers. If fruits are served at dessert, and you wish to peel a pear or peach, you must cut it into quarters and pare it horizontally; to peel it round and round is considered extremely countred and in bad taste. Never tell a story at a dinner unless requested to do so by the master or mistress of the house." It is announced that 97 battalions of Turkish infantry are near Dobrindescho, besides the eight gun-boats which the Russians brought down in sections and put together on the Danube or Purth. The Russian fleet is at Nicolaiief, and will come down to the mouth of the Danube to assist the Russian army in its passage over the river. St. Louis Republican: The Duchess of Marlborough, wife of the English Viceroy in Ireland, is amiably endeavoring to cultivate Irish manufactures. She is about to give a ball, at which all the guests will be requested to wear articles exclusively manufactured in Ireland. The ladies' dresses are to be of Irish poplin. One wonders if even the real stone of the walls will not be simulated by shamrock. A bad of yellowish colored paint, covering an area of at least two acres, and having a thickness of four feet, has bee discovered near Cullman, Ala. The paint is found to be superior to ochre, as it can be worked without adding white-lead, and cannot be surpassed for water colors. Crop Prospects in Europe and America. Omaha, May 3. The Herald publishes reports from several counties in Nebraska and western Iowa concerning grasshoppers and crop prospects. The reports are unexpectedly favorable, only three of the places heard from reporting grasshoppers bad. There is an unusually fine prospect for a largely increased acreage being sown, especially of corn. Farmers have been delayed somewhat on account of the recent heavy rains. The fruit prospects are only fair. Toledo, O., May 2. The Blade has extensive crop reports from the Northwest, showing gratifying prospects, that in wheat regions being better than for years. Corn will be sown more generally than usual but the sowing of oats will be restricted. London, May 3. The Mark Lane Express says advices from the rural districts continue to express satisfaction with the prospects of winter sown cereals, except that on some heavy lands the plant has recently changed from a healthy green to sickly yellow. In the north of Scotland farm work is still backward. Defying the Revenue Officers. Chicago, May 3. The Tribune's Washington special says the Internal Revenue officers in Georgia, report that renewed illicit distilling there, and an open defiance of the revenue officers who attempt to collect the tax. They declare that collection is impossible without military aid. Another Epistle from Ben Wade. Cleveland, May 3. B.F.Wade writes to the Leader concerning a letter in Monday's Leader from Ward Lamon, of Washington, stating that the Republicans in Washington formed, during President Lincoln's administration, a plan to ost Lincoln and put in Wade or Fremont as Dictator; and that the compact was written out and was shown by Mr. Chase to Lincoln. He says of this letter: "I desire to brand Next morning Lynch, which they return from plowed willows nor $40 in was greatly used effortful visual belief that men were Mason in... DEATH OF PARSON BROWN-LOW. A Sketch of his Public and Private Career. A telegram from Knoxville, Tennessee, informs us of the sudden death of ex-Senator Cannaway Brownlow at that place yesterday. Parson Brownlow, as he was more familiarly known, has had a checkered career, and has been, perhaps, as cordially hated by his political opponents as any man who ever attained prominence in political life. He was born in Wythe county, Virginia, on the 29th of August, 1805, and being left an orphan at the age of 11 years was compelled to labor upon a farm until he was 18. He then learned the trade of a carpenter and devoted himself to that until he had obtained the means to go to school, and obtained a tolerable education. At the age of 21 he entered the Methodist ministry and for ten years he was an itinerant preacher. Having removed to Tennessee he was sent, in 1852, as a delegate The bottom facts of Senator Davis' chair are said to be that when he sits down he covers nearly 800 square inches. At North Wear, N. H., on Monday, the insane wife of James H. Hard killed their son, aged 10 years, and then hanged herself. The Monitor says that the faithful of this Diocese will send the Pope more than $75,000 in honor of his approaching jails. Leaky Pio Nino! An itinerant photographer down in Maine held a woman's baby as security while she went out to raise fifty cents to pay for its picture. Newburyport, Mass., has thirteen hundred more women than men. It is small, and a welding there creates almost as much sadness as a funeral. A remarkable phenomenon is reported from Naples, Italy. It is that for three whole days in one week there were no births out of a population of 500,000 souls. Capt. Kimberly, while riding a horse in Denver, was thrown. One of his feet caught in a stirrup and he was dragged. In that terrible plight he saved himself by drawing a knife and stabbing the beast to death. The remnant of the Modoca are said to be getting along very well upon their reservation. They do not have as much excitement as when in their lava beds, but they are healthier. A Wisconsin man has parted from his wife because she wouldn't hold still and let him shoot an apple off her head. Wives should do everything to make it pleasant for the family. The St. Petersburg Gazette announces that all war news must be submitted for the approval of the special Commissioners at the Central Staff office before publication in the Russian papers. General and Mrs. Grant, with their son Joe, will sail for Liverpool from Philadelphia May 10th, in the India. President Hayes and his Cabinet offered him passage on a Government vessel, but the General preferred going as a private citizen. An Illinois youth invested $150 in a New York firm to discover "How to appear well in society." The recipe which he received by return mail was short, simple and easily understood: "Always keep your nose clean, and don't suck more than one finger at a time." The People, a paper published at Indianapolis Ind., says: It is the intention of Mr. Lewis C. and Annie Underwood, who recently lost an interesting child, to send the remains to Washington, Pa., for cremation. The ashes will be carefully preserved in a vase and deposited in some sacred spot, in which will be planted sweet flowers and vines to breathe their sweet fragrance over all that remains of the loved and lost.

It having been charged that General Sherman recommended General Joe Johnson for Secretary of War, Sherman answered, with his usual sharpness, that he declared, as a fundamental proposition, that Johnson was an accomplished soldier and a faultless gentleman, and is astonished that such a compliment should have been misconstrued into a recommendation for office.

POND'S EXTRACT—We have heard, as well as experienced many instances of the marvellous virtues of this proprietary remedy, but none more remarkable than the one we are now about to relate. On the evening of Sunday, October 11th, Mr. John Ross well known to the whole billiard public as member of the leading firm of Win. H. Galifith & Co., Billard Table Manufacturers of New York—retired to rest, seemingly in its usual good health. About 1 o'clock A.M. he woke and found his pillow and a portion of his bed-clothing saturated with blood, which was still being discharged from his nose. He arose and expended some time in his endcars to check the hemorrhage, but was finally forced to arouse his family (he is a wilder) to his assistance. When all the means at hand were ineffectually exhausted the family physician was sent for, and in turn brought to his aid two other medical prescriptions one of them an English surgeon of called reputation. During Monroe Tunguski and a large portion of Wednesday, not hour slapped without some new efforts in behalf of the sufferer. Nothing that ability, skill or experience could august was spared—refrigerant change heavy facing strong stimulants, etc., were externally applied while plugging infections and scores of interval renses were tested—all in vain; and medical skill admitted that it was successfully baffled, and there was no hope. At this time a sister of the sufferer (Mrs. Griffith) suggested her favorite family remedy—Pond's EXTRACT. "Try anything you think might help him," responded the attending physician, but is a tone of voice convincing to all that heard it that the patient was far beyond human aid. The extract was procured, a little injected into the sick man's nostrils, while a cloth saturated with it covered his face from the upper lip to the forehead. The effect was truly astounding. This man had been bleeding for over fifty nouns, and had completely exhausted the best medical skill available; but, when Pond's Extract was applied, the hemorrhage was completely stopped in a space of time not exceeding three minutes, and the man, as it were, raised from the grave. Although confined to his house for a couple of weeks, nor scarcely yet recovered his usual robust health life he is comparatively a well man again, and there has been no return of the hemorrhage. Himself and family feel that for the apprentice simulation of Pond's Extract he could scarcely survive the night through, as he had already lost over a gallon of blood before the hemorrhage was successfully abated. Vineyard for Sale or Rent. I desire either to rent or sell the Cincinnati Star: There is a coolness and audacity about the way President Hayes refuses to accept presents or to establish the Summer Capitol at Long Branch; and recently he has defied the Nebraska Senators who told him they should oppose the confirmation of Indian Agents for stations in that State, if the selections were not made from Nebraska. He immediately went to work and didn’t do it, but appointed three Agents, non-residents, two of whom are Quakers. Such a series of Executive blunders are really calculated, you know, to create the most painful satisfaction in the public mind. A dispatch from Santa Cruz says: On Saturday evening between 8 and 9 o’clock, Henry Deforest, aged 62 years, a carpenter working at the Powder Mills, was murdered and robbed back of the Old Mission orchard, half a mile from this place. He was shot back of the right shoulder, the ball passed through the body. The shooting was heard by different parties. The body was dragged across the road and behind some willows, where the pockets were emptied. Next morning the body was found by Mr. Lynch, the owner of the house in front of which the murder was committed, on his return from the powder mill, he being employed there as night watchman. In the willows near the body a number of papers and $40 in paper money were found. There was great excitement yesterday, and continued efforts on the part of officers and individual to arrest the perpetrators, it being believed that there are two. Special police men were out last night. Deforest was a Mason in good standing. Queen Victoria has issued a proclamation stating that she is determined to maintain strict and impartial neutrality in the war between Russia and Turkey and commanding her subjects to abstain from violating the laws relating thereto. Then follows the English statutes, instituted to regulate Her Majesty’s subjects during the existence of hostilities. The proclamation concludes with an admonition to British subjects not to disobey the command at their peril.
