A MMsMppl paper fays: "Should
this IS.-O10 of our paper fall in the way of
the villain who defneed Admiral Sem.
wee's book, the propeity of a citizen
of this town, we say tlint no one but a
liar and a Eticak would pronounce that
gentleman, distinguished pallor and
boldlcr 'a scoundrel,' or that Ills book
was 'the blackest of lies uver utteicd by
man or devil.' These are the words
that deface the book,: and we say
again, be who wrote them is himseff
a liar, a scoundrel, and sneak, and,
if lie is not to cowardly to give his name,
will receive the reward lie so Justly
merits."
Oregon has wisely resolved to protect
by law the game remaining in its val
leys. For years past it has been the
custom to make extensive raids upon
the elk, moose, and deer to get their
bklns, the bodies being left on the
ground. An act of the Legislature
makes It unlawful to kill or offer for
sale any deer moose, or elk during the
months of February, March, April,
Jfuy, and June, and making it unlaw
ful to take or kill, at any time elk or
deer for the sole purpose of obtaining
their horns and skins.
The proprietors of a hotel in Iowa
brought an action against the editor
of their villages paper to recover a
certain amount for meals and cigars.
The editor contests the suit, inasmuch
as In rtturh for the said dinners and
chars he had set forth the virtues of
the proprietors and the excellence of
their viands all worth a thousand dol
lars, for which he should have claimed
no compensation had he not been
charged tor the dinners. The editor
pleaded his own case, and the jury re
turned a verdict throwing the costs on
the hotel keepers.
A Paris physician relates the particu
lar! of a curious case he has under his
charge. It is that of a young girl,
eighteen years of age, who Is afflicted
with what Is termed nychatopla, that is
to say, she Joses the faculty of bight in
daylight and recovers it in darnness.
Although her cyts do not present any
special morbid character, she is forcd
to keep her eyelids closed during the
day and to cover her head with a thick
veil. On the other hand, when the
thutttrs of a momarehermetically fast
ened she reads and writes perfectly In
the deepest darkness. She feels no pain
beyond a slight lassitude when the bolar
light stiike her visual organs.
Some time since the steamer Dhoolla
was wrecked In the Red Sea. Among
the wreckage, sold for a mere song,
was a bos, supposing to contain noth
ing valuable, but afterward discovered
Dy Egyptians to contain aamageil In
dian i ostace stamps to the value of (10,
000) The stamps had been maufactured
in England: for tne Indian rust uince
and sent out as cargo with uo proper
description or declaration ot value
These stamps are finding their way to
India through various channels: they
would be no loss to the country if at
the bottom ot the ocean, but, being
found and eold, aro likely to cost the
Government ot India little short of 10.
000.
A daring and successful robbery was
perpetrated on the First National Bank
of Qulncy 111., Thursday night of last
week. Uurslars cut through the noor
ot the second scory over the vault, cut
the rivets oft the sheet-iron boiler an
inch thick, anddecended Into the vault.
Thev charged the monev safes with
powder, carrying the train to the top
by a small rubber tube. They fastened
a pistol thereto, to which they attached
a fctring In the street and fired It, blowing
open the saro. Tiiey men carried on
about $100,000 currency, besides valua
ble papers and special deposits. One
McCoy has been arrested on suspicion.
The officers, of the bank say the loss
wlll.not affect the the bank's responsi
bility. A reward of $20,000 has been
offered for the restoration of the stolen
property and the capture of the thieves.
Among the bonds stolen were $100,000
ot A&zms county bonds, numbered
from 221 to 400 Inclusive.
Gift Enterprises. As a general
thing we do not, and cannot commend
gift enterprises, lotteries, and all tuch
schemes. But there aro some cases
where evn gift schemes to raise funds
are permissible, and tbe school fund
advertised iu the News is one of that
class. It is well-known that In Utah .
the Gentiles are under the law of Mor
moodom, and no measures calculated to
break the mental shackles ot that
detestable monstrosity are for a moment
tolerated by the powers that be.

from men who have been there to see
for themselves the condition ot allilrs;
