Jensen, (oigensen and M. Christiansen had been appointed to make the necessary airangeinents, and had succeeded 111 getting the use of the ground and thtee skirls on the lake lor a mere nominal consideration. At half past seven the excursionists commenced gather mg on the public square, but it it took a full hour before the company started out of our city. The national flags of our.nations sway-ed prominently to the breeze, to, viz: America, Denmark, Norway and the Union Jrck of Great Britain. Why this should be instead of the Swedish, that was not there, your coriespondent is nol able to tell, neither way so lew Swedes had joined 111 the Scandinavian out. Tlie two prominent brothers, Bp. C. Dorius and Pies. John V. F. Donus weie among ths party, as was also Bp. Chiistianseu fioin Mayfield and an old veteran, Ole Svendsen, from Manti. Tlie time was pleasantly spent, while at ihe lake, in dancing, rowing 011 tlie lake, fishing and 111 several Scandinavian games on tne green and shady grounds provided for the visitors; and the well provided luncheon-ba- r keis weie by no means hiiimpi.rtant factors in the ar-rangements lot the comfort and enjoy-.inei- il of the excuisionists. Tho' lhecotrtpany as greatly com-- , posed of young people, it must be said to their cred.t, that they conducted themselves on this occasion w;lh great decorum and in no way gave any cause for dissatisfaction to the elder people that were piesent, et theie vas placed no other than moral restraint upon them, that makes geiitlenitu and ladies of young ns well as aged people, w iten put in practice. While upon this topic, Mr. Editor, allow me to throw out an idea, Ih it this and similar occasions has repcatidlv suggested to my .m.nd Tho' Funk's Lake and pleasure grounds are the results of a veiy commendable enterprise for a private party, and a great credit to the late Mr. Funk, thus providing a place for summer enjoy- - CLIMAX ROLLER MILLS.

Mr Peabudy smiled. "The idea is absurd;" lie said. "The Rio Grairl Western is not for tale. No oilier railway company owns a share of usstuck. lnd.vidual members mav own some, and if so. tlu--y that bought it knowing it sure to rise the moment the road was bioad gauged, but that is all," 'And as to the work of broad-guage- ?

"About tie Thistle extension? How far will the line run?'' "At least one hundred and seventy-fiv- e milesat present, That will biing us to belo Alarysvale, passing a ricli couiitrv, cutting ihe asphalt beds, siohe quarries,' and leaching one ol the finest belts of timber in the west, and undoubt-edly the best in Utah.

Yes, I know bow rich the southern couuttv is," he said, as the Herald pro-ceeded to euhchteu him. ."I have ridden over the most of it in company with our engineer, and am perlectly stultified with the out look."

"I tindeisiand Ihe coke is giving very good satisfaction," suirtrested The Iltr-aJ- " "Well the demand is greater than the the supply; that speaks for ilsell. There ate laige numbeis of industries that will eventually spring up along the line of our road, and we shall take considera-ble pleasure in fostering them." Air. Poabody did not say so in those many words, but from what he did say it would be fair to assume that It would not be long before the Rio Grand West-ern is running into the rich Tintic dis-trict. Mr. Peabudy will leave this mottling for home, over the Union Pacific. Col-onel Dodge goes with him. THE V. P'S.

Another Arctic Expedition. This Time From Norway. A Horrible Murder and Sui-- : cide in Copenhagen. TO TI1K NORTH POLE. Late advice from Norway, states that Diet (Storthing) has granted 200,000 crowns to lit out an expedition under l)r Nausen to reach the Northpole. Thus, the financial part of this great undertaking may Oe accomplished, but how the other parts will succeed tune only can tell us. Already a lung list ul il Ins. iriotis names are connected with the dreadful tales of the sufi'crinns aad dis-asters of foimer exdiditions of this kind. Shall the Norwegian, Dr. Nausen, who but a few years ago, crossed the icy regions of the interior Greenland, suc-ceed better than his predecessors, or shall he ami his brave followers only follow to share a similar fate? ' Dr. Nausen will at any rate adopt a diffeier.t plan of operations from all Artie explorers. He will not attempt to break through the ice, but will lake advantage of this apparently barrier, and make the ice c iny him to the goal of his ambition the Pole. It has been demonstrated, that a very strong current is continually rushing Noith, which is supposed to pass through, or at least very near, the Polar point of our globe. Calculating on this, lie will embatk n the ice when his ship will carry him no farther, and let the ice carry hint and his followers fur-ther. That stich a Hip is not going to be peiioimed at lihtening-exprcs- s speed, he is well aware ol; and iheief ne he will be provisioned tor thn-- ye ns II his siiip or boais are crushed bv t lie ice, he will use dogs and sle.ls, as he did while crossing Hie glaciers of Green-land. It is evidently a niand scheme; and should he succed in his hazaidutis undertaking, the name of Dr.Nausen and the Nor will be indelibly written on history's pages, as among the great men of Scaiid.uavia, and of the earth.

The House silver bill was amended almost out of exisience by the Senate committee on finance this morning. All of the membets of the commitee eie piesent except, Senator Allison, of loua, Republican Senator Vooihees, of Indiana, Democrat, leaving the party division the same as in full committee. Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky, in accordance with the Dem-ocratic theory of the constitutional powers of Congress, moved to strike out the treasury notes le'.il tender in payment ol ail debts public ami r rivale This was agreed to, 7 to 2 All the Democrats for the amendment, 'and Senators Morrill, Aldiich and H;ss ck ol the Re-publicans. Seiutois Siiciman and Jones voted in he negative Senator Harris, of Tennessee, moved-t- o strike out the feature providing for bullion ledeinpiiim. This was carried bva vote of 6 to 3, so die - minority consisted of Sherman, Morrell and Mc Phearson. The next portion striken out was the entire sixth section, which provides for free coinage when silver reaches a parity with gold. This was cariied by the vote of four Republicans, with McPhearson, ol New Jersey, agair.st tlievtte of three Democrats and Senator Jones, cf Nevada. A provision was then njopled by the same vote, providing that the BCt shall terminate at the expiutiai of ten its passage. The bill as thus modified was reported to the Senate soon after it wet by Sena tot Morrill. Tiie Senate & not likely to concur with all of the amend;henis made bv the committee. That wikinL' out th 4ntl,ii -- rlii ...(wiun ieafrie v('I 'i. -- cepted. but the silver men will make a hard fight against tlie other three-changes- , The legal tender pnvision cannot be kept in the bill, howevei.if the Democrat in the Senate vote wilk their colleajnes of the committee; for thev will have enough Republican asiislance to keep it out. The silver men w;ll probably suc-ceed in putting back ihe provision for free coinage when sver reaches as parity with gold, for this is wot seriously objected to by tha eastern Senators and by Secretary Wind m. The ten year limit makes the silver men very angry, and they will probably succeed iustriking it otit nlo. In any event die bill will pass, ihe Senate in a very different form from that in which it passed the House. ' ' A HORRIBLE MURDER. A horrible murder and suicide was Committed in a part of Copenhagen, called Christians!! ion. On Ihe 23rd of May, a man, w ho works as blacksmith in the navy yards, relum-ed as usu.il about 6 p. m. expecting to find his wile and children bidding him welcome; but rinding ihe door hastened, and xettrug 110 response to his repeated knocks, he buitt it open, and was horrifi-ed at the signt that met him when he entered the bed room There be found his tour or five year rid boy hang.ng in "TSTiete tif TdptCMnt-nt-t mar bed Ciy bis! wife, dead, with her throat cut;' white j the b.tbv had been smothered to death. As the family is said to have lived on the best of leans, and the Unfortunate mini was very ord;ily and industrious, and! agoo'l provider for his l.untly, the cause j of this dreadful catastiophe can only be sought iua le.npjrary fit of insanity; i winch also was the opinion of the the inquest. Millenial festivities in Iceland, in con-nection with an exposition of its local iudustties, will be held this summer in that far oft' island, as it is just one thou-sand years since Heli;e, the lean man, fiist seltled there. Tiie festivities will commence in June, and will lust for several days. An aged woman 140 vears old, cele-brated her last birth-da- y surrounded by a numerous host of relatives and friends, and was even able to keep them com-pany till an hour alter midnight. Her memory seems to be unimpaired and she generally takes a walk in her garden daily. . King George 1 of Greece, who is a son of the king of Denmark, will likely soon abdicate in iavor of his son, the Duke of Spatta who is married 10 a sister of the present emperor of Germany. The crown-princ- e was born in Greece and is about 27 years ol age; and thus the obiectional feature of a foreign rulerd jes not exist in his case. London, June the graves', questions of imperial leg si tion, which ars ptessing for consideration, and which must be dealt witli in the near future, is that of infant marriages and polygamy in India. A peculiarly revolting case of juvenile polygamy has just been brought to the attention ol the govern-ment, in which an eminent Brahiiiinliving in Bengal, compelled his s;x aunts, eight sisters and four daughters all to be mar-ried together to a boy nine years of age. The eldest of the eighteen brides was more than filty years old, and the young-is- t was scarcely three months old, aud was brought to the wedding wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a brass salver. It is allirmed that this case is by no nivalis extraordinary, and that hun dreds of mariiages eqully outrageous are oceurring every year among tiie Kulin Brahmins. The chief difficulty is that the mat riage customs are pan cf the Brah-mins' religious system; and that to inteifere with them would therefore be most bittetly resented; still it is delieved that moral consideration will soon com-pel lCngland to take the matter up. That a boy nine years old should be married Hi eighteen wives.nH of one fami-ly, in three generations and ranging from three months lo lift v years in age, is an a n iziug state of affiirs for the British empiie in the year 1S90, 1 DAHO POLYGAMISTS.
