The captain, who bad been up to latitude

water beneath, and Ibat solid Ice exists be

glooi wbiob takrt a view of tbe caie thai
may not have occurred to tbe good people
of tbe Oil Regions. lie eayt: Tbe efforts
lately made In ibe oil regions lo itop ex
cesslve production, in order to srctire rv
muoeratlve pr cea, and in a fir way to
bring about al least one beneficial result.
Formerly ll wai vehemently urged that to
close tip the wells on Ibe Sabbath was high
ly Injurious, because of its tendency to
divert Ibe oil into other channels or to clese
up tbe little crevices, or in some way to
obeck tbe flow 00 otber days. But Ibe
proposal lo cease work and close up tbe
wells for tblrtw dsyi at once, li an admit
lion Ibat no evil reiulta of any Importance
can accrue to their prodooing power from
not being (worked. I noticed, by a llngie
tpeaker.or writer, that tbe wells would rt
ceive any barm from tbe course wbiob has
now been adapted. Therefore, It Is no fair
Insist 00 Ibe old argument lo behalf of the
continuance of labor on Ihe Sabbath.
Hut tbla is not all; the demand for a cat
sation of thirty daya la a confeMlon'of over
promotion. Now if Ihe oil men had reeled
on tbe Sabbath according to the Command'
menl,' Ibere would have been flftyelwo days
in ine year whltbout production, and con
sequently, acoording to tbe arguments now
used, there would have been no over pro.
duotloo, and al the same time remunerative
prices would bave been maintained. A
stoppsge of thirty day! is now required by
IDs necessities ot Ibe trade, because fifty
two dayi in Ibe year were waested from tbe
espeolal service ol God. In tbla. aa well aa
in an otber lostaoces, II Is no gain lo diso
bey God: lo disregard Hli authority la a
losing bailutss, even in in worldly aspect
we are glad lo learn Ibai a movement! is
now on root among the oil men lo enter into
an agreemenl that hereafter all well! ihall

hour. In thli way over production wil be
avoldedulhe operative! will bave lime for
rest aod moral aod religloui Improvement
and Ibe laws of Ihe couotry as well as the
lawi of God will be observed. All Christ
ians and philanthropists should exerl them
selves to give eocoarsgement to those who
are laboring to bring about Ibis charge which
wonld add, as events bave plainly ibowo,
to tbe pocuciiry advantage of tbe producera
and tbelr employee, and what is still vast
ly greater value, ll will do much lo maio
tain good order and lo induce Ida people lo
listen to tbe message of aalvatloo, aod to
become partakers of its blessedneri.

Women bave some rights In Utah though
Mormonim tendi to keep Ibem In drudgery.
In a ease at law between two women In a
Justice's Court held n few miles from Salt
Lake City a jury was demanded, and on
that jury were three women. Tbe Deseret
News says tbe deliberations and verdict or
mn jury women were meraea oy quite ir
much dignity and decorum and good sence
as ever were shown by a jury all men.
That Is not paying tbe women a very high
compliment, for tbe eonduot of juries often
is in no wsy credible to the judgment or
sound unco of the memben Iboreol. There
Ii 00 reason why women should net make
just as good jurors aa men, in fact, the
great essential in a juror Is patience, and In
thai virtue tbe femsle sex excel.

The Diamond Flnrr jr.
From tbe Denver Nsws of October 15th.
The exolWment with regard to the stones
whether precious or not, makes no differ
ence to the neneral public, who are ever
ready to gulp down lensstioos of New
Mexico. Ariiooa or ''down there," as tbe
returned diamond-eearobers mysteriously
put it, still keeps op, and each dsj'sadvioes

Yesterday Ibere was another arrival
precious stones In Denver, from tbe South
end tbey were rapluonsly admired by those
1 who souldu't tell a diamond from a 'turnip,
aod isrerely criticized by otben who koew
a "hawk from a baudaw." Mr. L. Spiegel
berg, or Santa Fe. came la yeiterday en
route East, snd brought along, just to All
up tbe cbtneks in bis baggage, a couple
of
small boxss or Arizona dlaraooda, garnets,
rubies, topsz, emeralds, etc. At least Ibe
diamonds were about al near to first water

that section. They were various in ilxe
fiom the ''little end of oothing" np ton lima
bean and-accounted worth moat fabulous
sums.a One party, bowivir, though that
ozen wagon loads of Ihe htm diamonds'
might be gathered anywhere about Denver
or in the mountains. Others were confident
that tbe garni were real, while experience
eye put them down al quartz oryitali
average order. Tbe otber Itooe warn
Ibe more common order, and probably of
more value Ibaa the diamond!. They will
be taken lo New Tork, where II li expected
tbey will be judged. Mr. Spiegelberg lays
there are about lour hundred men In tbe
diamond dlstriots, while many olheri are
about Santa Fe waiting for tbligi to turn
up. .
We expect to be able In a few days to
present some facts regarding tbla seoialioa
