States against any other part of Christen
dom in, that particular line of business.
Whatever may be the merits of the erneials
of railways and steamer lines, and all other
modes of travel in all other portions or the
civilized globe, we are quite sure that they
can be beat to death in thelariggitge smash
ing
art by the same gentlemen of this free
and enlightened republic. The fact is, that
a traveler on our highways seems to have
no property in his trunk or any other thing '
that contains his clothes end 'other value-
bles, which baggage-masters and their sub- J
ordinates are bound to respect. American
violence, which comes out strong enough in
nny case, comes out extravagantly strong
in the handling of our valises and portman
teaux. The bandbox of a woman, with a
delicate head-dress inside, and all such like
frail depositaries of precious female ettire,
has no chance of escape forcrushiug, if put
in charge of those ruthless vandals who at
tend to the baggage ears had who think
that they have no other office to perform
than to bruise and batter and - break every
thing that comes within their reach. If any
lover oramiability and gentleness wants to
- witness an exhibition of that blind and
went= destructiveness which is said to be
the natural instinct ofan American freeman
in the lowest or highesi positipn of authori
ty, let him stand for an hour at any one of
our railway stations when a train is start
ing or has come in. If he don't see
enough in that little interval or observation
to convince him that the devils which went
into the herd of swine in the country of Ger
geseues, have been translated into the
brutes who handle the baggage at our rail
way depots, then he will be proof against
visual evidence. We never could under
stand why this outrageous abuse of private
property could go on, as it does, with im
punity, from year to year. Is there no law
to protect a 1111111'S or woman's trunk frdm
being knocked into smithereens and all its
contents poured out upon the street by a
brutal raggamullin in the employ of a co.c
poratioa ? Won't some victim of this bru
tality raise the question iu One of our
Courts? We have sometimes thought that
there is a conspiracy among the baggage
smashers and the trunk-makers. If not,
the trunk-makers have very, good friends
in the baggage-smasher, and titer ought,to'
pay them a coin mission for the service they
render in fostering the trunk man olacture.
Arneriean trunks may be fra?l, but we un
dertake to say that the stoutest English or
French article could not stand usage on
American railways. Seriously speaking,
this matter of lat„ige-smashing on our
lines of travel is a gross and growing out
rage, which out to be stopped. The initia
tive in the reform should be taken by our
railway Directors, and if they will not act,
then the Courts should give all sufferers ex
emplary damages.
Vast Italia:l)nd Time.
Ono of the greatest railroad feats on our
'Western roads, says the Chicago Republican
of the Bth Instant, was yesterday by a spec
ial train that brought an excursion party
from Council Bluffs to Chicago. The train
consisted of the elegant directors' car of
the Chicago and Northwestern railway, two
coaches, the tender and engine, and left
Council Bluffs at :2:11A. M., Tuesday morn
ing, bringing General Baxter and P. P.
Morgan, of Now York., Rev. Dr. Canfield,
of Brooklyn ; Clinton Briggs;-W. P. Cool
bough, General Superintendent Dunlap
and others. The party arrived in the city
Tuesday afternoon at 5:05, only fourteen
hours and fifty-four minutes from Council
Bluffs. After deducting the time that was
occupied in stopping for melds, changing
engines. etc., the actual time occupied in
making the run of foul-hundred and eighty
eight miles was just thirteen hours and
twenty minutes.

Ill' SIDNEY DYER
The, White PhiC Region—To All
Whom It kitty. Concern.
On an average, we receive at least twenty
icier% a week from all In its of the Union,
asking all manner of questions about the
White Pine District, in general, and the
chances to make a sudden raid on a for
idiso. Some wish to know "if a mill would
pay?" others "if good mines can be bought
cheap?" If a bookkeeper, a hotel clerk, a
salesman, or mechanic, could find profita
ble employment; or, if a wet nurse, or a
chambermaid, could obtain t situation at
fair wages ; or a physician a lucrative prac
tice? Some are anxious to know what
kind of a climate we have; others wish to
know the locality, date of location, charac
teristics and present and prospective value
of the "fforned Toad Mine," or the "Skin
flint Combination Company," or what dis
tancethe tunnel projected by the Will-0-
The-Wisp Consolidated Tunneling and
Mining Company" will have to penetrate
the mountain to tap living water and pay
ore; or what chance there is to collect a
board bill from Slim Jim or Poker Bill that
they forgot to pay before leaving White
Pine. These and a thousand other ques
tions arc asked and answers expected. .It
being our general rule to answer all snub
letters, and to give all the information re-
quested by the several writers, our many
duties necessitates this mode of answering
them—so we adopt it, and 'for answer say :
A quartz mill, welt built, in a good ItTa
tion, managed by experienced and industri-
ous men, would be furnished with all the
ore necessary to keep it in steady work for
years, at prices which would have to be
agreed upon between the various mine and
mill owners. A. good mine is worth money
Isere. A mine showing good pay cannot be
had for a song, nor can it be purchased on
time. For coin, in sums to suit, the very
best mines can be bought; hut a man who
buys a mine without coming , here and ex
:ming it, and investigating . the title, de
serves to lie swindled, as he generally is.
We have atl. kinds of mines here—the good,
bad and inditThrent—at prices varying from
ten million dollars down to one hundred
dollars. Book-keepers, hotel clerks, and
salesmen are not in demand, and what few
have come hero searching such situations
have generally failed to find employment,
and are now amongst our most aristocratic
hummers—without money or friends, and
never will have either unless they go to
work and earn nn honest living. Mechan
ics can find steady and profitable employ
ment in this district, yet a mechanic who
has steady work in his present home would
be foolish to come here simply for the ad
vance he would receive on his wages—the
differences being small mind the hardships
many. A. wet nurse could not find a situa-
Lion for - about eight months to come; the
prospects are favorable at tbe expiration of
that period. Chambermaids, if good look
ing-, not old nor eross, elm iind plenty of
good places to live, mid a good chance to
marry. Physicians coining here will find
the profession well represented by the very
bestphysielans, who are well educated and
have, —
it.T.G9 Veating -,thq
.souses whichprevail 1-These p hy
-
0118
aro'fOpiar find competent; a new
arrival would have to lake his chances with
them in the practice, and might not make
it pay—poor place for doctors.
Lawyers are hero thicker than hypocrites
at a camp-meeting or thieves at a horse
race. A very smart lawyer might do well
here; hut medium stock will find the stalls
full, and will remain brietiess in the
future—office rent and board being cash iu
advance, clients scarce, and fees payable in
luture, is What as legal adventurer may look
for on his arrival in this place.
Climate here is of every kind represented
by the torrid, temperate and frigid zones—
snow, hull, rain, sunshine, (butt, cold wind,
hot wind, gentle breeze, perfect hurricane,
conic as they wish, goverened by no natur
al laws, they come us they will, one at a
time or in groups, as the case may be—any
way and any shape to make new comers

Tice Mormon Exodus Eroae Utah.
The Corinne, Utah, Daily Deportee, says :
Since the commencement of the work of
building the great Pacific railway high
hopes have been entertained and cherished
by a large 'number or men and women in
Utah, known as dissenters and apostates
from Mornionista as inculcated by Brig
ham Young, that on its completion en eve
one of escape would be open fur them and
they could make their way, undisturbed
by the hirs;lings and cut-throats of Brigham
Young to the State., 7 4. The dissenters and
apostates, we are assured, are by no means
- fewrattd it- is openly stated that all who can
rid themselves of what little property they
still possess will flee the Territory and re
turn to the States. Yesterday a party of
dissenters and apostates, numbering, about
fuurty souls, all funilies, under the leader
ship of Mr. Warren Walling, late Presi
dent of the .Tosepliite wing of the Mormon
Church in Suit Lake City, arrived at the
depot, opposite the city, the greater portion
of them coining from iNfalnd Valley, and
the balance from Salt Lake City and vi
cinity. They chartered sear from the com
pany, for which they paid :51,400, and have
provided themselves with all the necessa
ries required on the trip. They propose
settling in Nebraska on the Missouri river,
near Omaha. From personal. acquaintance
with Mr. Walling and several others of the
party, we can safely say that they will make
good, honest and industrious citizens of Ne
braska, albeit they strongly adhear to their
Peculiar religion. This, we believe, is the
first party of " discontented Mormons"
taking their departure from Utah who go
all the way by rail.
♦Vaatcr a Luxury.
The scarcity of water at Treasure City, in

costly luxury, in which none but the most

denizen of Treasure City to " kick the
bucket." The following appears in the

Crete—Sufferings of the, Peoyde—
How they were Cheated of their
Freedom.
The following extracts were taken from
an interesting letter written to Dr. S. G.
.1 - I . OWO, by Elias Stekouli, and published in
the Boston Cretan.:
" ATRENS, Greece, January 21,—As soon
as I landed in Crete (June 20, M), I heard
the fiat of European diplomacy was that
Crete should be annexed to Greece, butthat
in order to reach this result, it was held to
be necessary, as a preliminary condition,
that the island should submit to Turkish
rule. The surrender of the insurgents
(they said) would pave the way for the ful
fillment of the desires of civilization. ,This
rumor was craftily disseminated over the
island by the agents of some of the Great
Powers, and thereby produced results
which the government of the Sultan could
never have gained by cruelty and force.
"Leaving Ajia Roumeli (where I had
landed and remained four days), I pene
trated to the mountains of Volakia, through
by way of the steep precipices of Ajia Ron
melt and St. Maria. On may way I saw
hundreds of the insurgents, with their
wives and children, and saved them front
nakedness and starvation by the contribu
tions of the American people.
"I shall never forget the terrible scenes I
have witnessed since I landed on the strug
gling island. I saw matrons and maidens
peer out like phantoms from the caves in
which they dwelt, and then hastily glide in
again, in order to conceal their nakedness
from my sight.
" r heard the groans of children and old
men, who were miserably perishing from
famine.
"How can I describe the ferocities which
the hordes of the Ottoman empire have
; committed in the village of Patsonou ?
Corpses were dragged from their graves
and mutilated, or cut into pieces, and
strewed through the streets. Jlow eau I
report to you in detail the horrid crimes
committed by them agaillSt the
the maidens and the tender youths of both
sexes? How can I find language to lenient
the innumerable victims of hunger and
cold, whom I saw everywhere itt the island,
and especially in the tune ntai ns of Ape
coronas, Retyttmos, Mylopotamos, where
masses of bones are heaped up as trophies
of the suffering Cretan people's perset•e

"Such being the suffering of the eratto

how much good was done by the contribu

Grasshopper Ravages in Utah.
CountlesS myriads of grasshoppers have
lately made their appearance on the north
and. eastern shore of Salt Lake, and are
marching or hopping toward the City of the
Desert. The ground around Promontory
„Point, is, pterally : Mack ,with the. you
and rapacious insects. They are now about
Three-foUrths of an Wolf hi length, black in
color, and more resembling a cricket than a
grasshopper. But ea they increase in size
their color changes to brown. About two
weeks since these pests made their first ap
pearance in the section, being then about
an eighth of an inch in length, and having
the appearance of sand crickets. They grow
very rapidly, and are very voracious, de
stroying everything in their Wily. For
miles the track of the railroad is black with
these destroying insects, the ties and rails
being hidden from view by the thousands
perched thereon. Salt Lake City 11118 been
cleared of vegetation before by these pests,
and in each case the countless hosts have
made their first appearance to the not th and
west of the city, devastating their fields and
gardens when passing through on their
way to the south and westward. Two years
since such a scourge swept over the eity,de
stroying every green thing, ea,•en to the
growth of wood and vine of the previous
sesson. Millions of the insects perished in
the lake, for it seems nothing turns them
when on their destroying march. In a day
the beautiful gardens and orchards of the
city were left as bare of verdure us though
a tire had swept over them. From the ac
count given us, it appears that the city will
again be visited by this scourge. We learn
that the scourge, which passed over Salt
Lake two years since, continued its march,
and the following season made an appear
ance in the lower end of the Great Basin,
where the scenes of the previous year were
re-enacted. This season the hordes have ap
peared in the extreme southern Mormon
settlement, where they are destroying
everything before them. They are now
some five hundred miles from Salt Lake,
the localities of which they passed haying
had one year's respite from their ravages.
It seems that when these insects reach ma
turity they deposit their eggs in the soli
and die. The following season the eggs are
Latched by the warmth of the spring, and a
new army follows on its march.

The 'West Chester Republican of a recent
date says: On Saturday last a horse owned
by Sewall Chambers, a colored num. living
in Thornbury township, was seized with
hydrophobia, The animal had been con.
fined in a field near Darlington's Corner,
but by some means got out of the enclosure '
into the public road. It attacked a tram
belonging to Win. Farrell, who was en
gaged in hauling stone to the railroad. The
driver of the team succeeded in driving off
the mad animal, and it is not believed that
it injured any of the horses attached to the
team. When the fit was off the poor brute
would become very weak—stagger and fall.
When the spasms returiWd it would again
rise and attack everything in its road. Sev
eral persons were chased on to the tavern
porch, and one indi yid ual narrowly escaped
being bitten. In its rage to bite, its own
tongue was nearly bitten off. The animal
was finally secured in a tot, where it died
during the uigbt, in pout agony. It was a
valuable horse, and was used by Mr. Cham
bers in threshing grain with a Machine,
through the neighborhood. What is still
more terrible to contem plate,is the fact that
this horse is supposed to have been bitten
by a dog belonging to Mr. Elias Baker, that
was thought to be mad, and bit two persons
some three weeks since—an account of
which was published in this paper. This
supposition . is strengthened by the fact that
Mr. Baker's dog bit two other dogs on the
farm of Mr. George Faucet; where the horse
was kept. The dogs of Mr. Faucett were
killed immediately after. The two young
men who were bitten, as well as their Im
mediate friends, are much distressed over
these facts.

Mitchell Once More.
A Philadelphia correspondent of a Now
York paper, signing himself " Vidoeq," re
lines the following concerning tine late Geo.
S. Twitebell, Jr. That Twitchel was a West,
consummate knave and hypocrite, and a
villain to the last, is shown in the remark
made to a visitor: "I would as leave go to
—as submit to these pious exhortations
every day; but I must stomach them."
This was said immediately after the inno
cent youth, who merely helped to throw the
body of the old woman out of the window,
bad shown such deep contrition as ;minced
the worthy clergyman to believe that his
charge had already caught a glimpse of
Paradise.
Such was the vileness and hypocrisy of
the man. We may know some day how
Mrs. 11111 was murdered. One who had the
confidence of George tells me the poker was
not uscc!...- Then the story of the slung-shot
made in Camden, and found in the house, is
strengthened. .The public should know all
about the murder.
[We understand that .Ifr. John 013 yr nu
has now in his possession the instrument
with which the murder was committed; that
Twitchell directed him to the spot in which
it was concealed ; and that the murderer
also made a confession to him, which if it
was made public, would entirely relieve
Mrs. Twitchell of odium. Why dosen't Mr.
O'Ryrne come out ?]—Philadelphia Stor.
Our Crinainations Against England
What are the sources of our crim Mations
against England? They are twofold—moral
and legal. The American people complain
that when a formidable rebellion was or
ganized against their government, the rul
ing classes of England showed eager sym
pathy with the rebels, encouraged and sup
ported them with their Godspeed, and in
every form and mode of speech vindicated
their cause; that they did this after haring
for mere than a quarter of a century stimu
lated the agitation upon the subject of sla
very which brought on the tremendous
contest between the North and the South ;
arid that thee, false to their professed princi
ples, and only solicitous for the disruption
of a friendly power, they rejoiced at and
applauded the probable establishment of a
great slave-holding confederacy. This com
plaint of the American people is undoubt
edly well Jimmied: it is the source of much
of the ill-feeling that exists in this country
against England ; anti should teach us that
it is vain to rely on the professed friendship
of a kindred people in those great enter- I
gencies which, as they come on all nations,
ace likely, in the future as in the past, to
come on us also.—From Gun, Itsi.Artoxs

greens.
There are advocates of three theories,
namely, planting in the full, in early spring
and late spring, and again others have se
rious objections to any or all of these plants;
one grower says he would not plant any
kind of a tree in the fall, on heavy soil, for
the trees will often be thrown out by the
frost ; another says that if he were to re
ceive a lot of evergreens this very day, in
early spring he would immediately put
them out.
We have had a personal experience with
all these plants. We transplanted a tine lot
of evergreens (Norway spruce) in the month
of August, as recommended by the n ursery-•
men, did what wo could to protect them,
hut when spring came they were all dead.
We tried ea rly spring for planting them.but
had the iunne result ; at Ina[ tried the first
o weeks of the month of June, and suc
ceeded admirably. We transplanted some
hemlock spruce in the month of September
or Ist of October, taking care to mulch the
roots of the trees, after the earth was fitted
in ; these too have kept well.
Hence, from our own personal experience,
we can safely say that the best .time fin
transplanting evergreen trees is between the
15th of May and the 15th of Juno ; for the
hardy evergreens, the month of September
or October is good, taking care in each case
to mulch the ground well, and particularly
to see that the trees are well packed and the
roots kept moist and unexposed. If the
distance of transportation is quite short,
evergreens may be safely transplanted as
21te as thel3th of .! olio; but if transporta
tion is distant, it is better to place thorn in
the ground a little earlier. Choose a wet,
unlit day for digging, and also for plant

Wh i t e wash.
A little whitewash, says the Boston
Journal of Nenzistrz,f, will do a great
amount of good ; but a full supply, enough
to cover the inside of burns, stables, etc.,
with two good coatings, is much better.
"The lime which enters into this composi
tion is a purifying agent, and the wash
serves as a disinfectant. The benefits con
ferred in this regard compensate for alt the
labor and expense involved in whitewash
ing; but the clean, tidy appearance which
it gives to farm premises is most pleasing
and salutary. In no way can a farmer
maize so imposing and even elegant show
for trifling expenditure as by a free use of
whitewash_ Even old buildings glow and
glisten under the whitewash-brush, and a,
suma a new appearance. Buildings, in the
eye of the owner, as wellas those of his
neighbors have a higher money value after
the process is completed."
To Ci.v.:Ax PAmT.---There is a very sim
ple method to clean paint that has become
dirty, and if our housewives should adopt
it, it would save them a great deal of trou
ble, Provide a plate, with some of the best
whiting to he bad, and have ready some
clean, warm water and a piece of flannel,
which dip into the water and squeeze near
ly dry; then take as much whiting as will
adhere to it, ripply it to the painted surface,
when a little rubbing wilt instantly remove
any dirt or grease. After which, wash the
part well with clean water, robbing it dry
with a soft chamois. Paint thus cleaned
leeb, as well as when first laid on, without
any initu y to the most delicate colors. It is
far better than using soap, and does not ro-
quire more them half the time and labor.—
