Show THURSDAY AUQUST2Mgj - J I 4 THE SALT LAKE TIMES, ton. It would have been a great adver-tisement for Salt Lake City. Denver thinks well of its Zouave Jruin corps. Well, Denver never saw or heard tho Salt Lake Liberal drum corps, and hence naturally centers its affection on its own organization. By the way, the people of Salt Lake made a great mistake in not sending our boys to the meeting of the G. A. R. at Bos- - bis cheapness. He wants you to think he is addicted to the Pullman habit, and that it costs him upwards of $87 a month to induce the porter to treat him like a white man. He is a liar, a hypocrite and a jay. He wouldn't know how to go to bed in a Pullman. He is the man who would try to climb into the netting, mistaking it for a hammock. He is the individual who would sit on the edge of his berth and remove hi3 shoes, the while a panting and eager crowd choked up the aisle, wondering when the shin-bon- e toll-gat- e would be pulled in. Ho is not the man who knows what a treasure the porter is, and who thinks the quarter he offers up is but a small measure of appreciation. Oh, no. This man, the decent personage, remembers how the porter stole lemons from the dining-roo- car that ho, tho humble passenger, might enjoy the genial hand-shake of the morning cocktail; he rec-ollects who it was who brought him the oranges with which he ushered .lis ap. petite into the history of tho day as he lay in his berth; he thinks of the camp chairs which the porter found in some mysterious place and set on the rear platform for him and the glorious girl who forms the other section of the bridal journey; his mind reverts to the porter's efforts to place him on terms of intimacy with all the scenery on the route. And the polished shoes, the well-mad- beds, the dusting down in tbo morning aro the least of tho good works of the patient black man. A quartorl What is peace of mind, con-tentment, a jaunt which would other-wise have been a pilgrimage, a tlower which would otherwise havo been a weed what are these to a twenty-fiv- e centtipf Go to the porter is all right A M'ORll FOB THE PORTER. It is about time to stop it. The men who startod it woro not of much force, anyhow, and it is the only habit which prevails of a Hock of sheep following one r which prompted tho people to tako up the cudgel against the Pullman porter and his apocryphal bank account. If the quip of the jester is really as generally believed as the evidence seems to show, tho 09 of 100 have a collective idea that the hundredth man is a slooping car porter, and that he Is a pirate and a villain. From the bench of the scoffer the porter has beeu denounced as ono who preys upon passengers and robs them of quarters enough to make lifo a waste for all but hiiu. He has beeu and is spoken of us a brunette harpy with a beak that can pull a fee out of tbe pockets of a book agent. All manner of indignity and odium, together with a job lot of opprobinm and calumny have been heaped on the woolly pate of the porter, and it has gone far enough. Who is it that objects to tipping the porter a quarter that makes life seem happier to him? Is it the man who travels in a Pullman? Not much! The personage who goes to sleep curled up in the smoker to save his berth fee is the kicker, and he kicks loudest be-cause he wants to conceal the fact o The complete collapse of De Lesseps' Panama canal enterprise is shown by the sale of tho company's dredging machines, tugboats and other equip-ments to tho Nicaragua canal company, of which Warner Miller is president. The latter company is largely mado up of United States capitalists, and tho work is being vigorously pushed. LOST LOVE- - From the French. ; Through the wood I wandered, away, away, And the forest green and grand Was bo full of the flowers of yesterday I could feel my expand. I questioned the shy May lilies so: Have you seen her, ray sweet, my own. And 1 cried to the rin doves, cooing low. Oh, tell me which tray she has gone : But the ring doves all were silent above, And silent the dowers of Spring, So I search for the path where my false, false love One Love went Oh Love ! Oh Love : Whon love is so great Tis like climbing a mountain steep, When all the way up your heart is elate. And when you go down, you weep ! , SOME PRECIOUS METALS. A Description of Hare Ores and Their At-tributes. The metallic minerals comprehend all the mineral bodies that are composed either entirely of metals or of which metals constitute the most considerable and important part. It is from the minerals of this class that all metals are extracted. The ores are found in a Dative state, either simple, consisting of only one substance, or compound, when composed of two or more substances. Of the metals, the first is platina, which is the heaviest. Platina is found among the gold ores of South America, in the form of small grains of scales. Its color is between steel gray and silver white, and its ductility and malleability are very great, says a writer in the Chicago Journal of Commerce. (iold is never found in a mineralized state, Tiut it occurs native in many parts of the world, generally alloyed with a little silver or copper, and commonly in the form of grains. It is the heaviest metal of all metals except platina, and, although its tenacity is such that a wire of one-tent- of an inch in diameter will support a weight of 500 pounds without breaking, yet it possesses less tenacity than iron, copper, platina or silver. It is ductile and malleable beyond any known limits. Tho gold beaters extend it by hammering a num-ber of thin rolled plates between skins of animal membranes upon blocks of marble fixed in wooden frames. A grain of gold has been extended to more than forty-tw- o square inches of leaf, and an ounce, which in the form of a cube is not half an inch either high, broad or long, is beaten under the ham-mer into a surface of 14(i square feet. There are gold leaves not thicker in some parts than the three hundred and sixty thousandth part of an inch; but on wire used by lacemakers it is still thinner. An inorot of silver, usually about thirty pounds weight, is rounded into 1 inches in diameter, and twenty-tw- o inches long. Two ounces of gold leaf are sufficient to cover this cylinder, and it frequently is effected with a little more than one. The ingot is repeatedly drawn through the holes of several irons, each smaller than the other, till it becomes liner than a hair, and yet the gold covers it, and docs not leave the minutest part of the silver bare, even to the microscope. It has been calculated that it would take 14,000,000 of filings of gold, such as are on some gilt wire, to make up the thickness of one inch. The ductility of it is such that one ounce is sufficient to gild a silver wire more than 1300 miles long. Gold may be dissolved in c acid, and it thus becomes muriate of gold, which is obtained in small crys-tals and is very soluble in water. If white satin ribbon or silk be moistened with a diluted solution of goid, and while moist bo exposed to hydrogen or sulphuric acid gas the metal will be im-mediately reduced and tho silk be-comes gilt with a regular coat of gold. The potters dissolve gold to bo applied to tho common porcelain; and it is used in a state of solution for attaining ivory and ornamental feathers. It gives a beautiful purple red; even marble may be stu'tieu with it. Silver is the most brilliant of metals. ' You may know when silver is pure by heating it in a common tire or in the Hamo of a candle; if it is alloyed, it will become tarnished, but if it be pure sil-ver it will remain perfectly white. It is exceedingly ductile, of great malle-ability and tenacity. Of the salts of silver tho nitrates is best known, and when melted and run into moulds it forms the lunar caustic of the apothecary. '. The Colorado land schemers are still at work for the passage of the bill to remove the southern Utes to Utah. The friends of Utah at the national capital should spare no efforts to block the gamo of the schemers. According to a Washington dispatch to the Denver Re-publican "there has been a strong pres-sure brought to bear on the committee to have the southern Ute bill given a place among the first measures to bo called up, and as it is an important bill the committee Is disposed to do so. So far as can be learned there is no oppo-sition to the Uncompahgro, bill, and it is expected that it will be passed in the house without difliculty and without wailing for tho special day to be given to the committee. Its passage at any rate is almost assured, for if not passed enrller it will be called up under the special order." THE SALT LAKE TIMES, By T. A.. DAVIS.

The president ' has refused to send troops to Now Mexico to suppress the white caps until It has been shown that tho sheriff or United (States marshal is unablo to preserve peace. That is the correct position undoubtedly. Had tho New York Central acted upon this principle it would havo called upon tho civil authorities for protection instead of employing the Pinkerton thugs, The civil tiuthoriticBWoulrt havo endeavored to protect tho Central's property and to suppress riots, and if unablo to do so, then tbo United States troops could have been called out. The railroad company, however, preferred to at once employ the Pinkertons and pay no attention to tho regular methods in such cases. The result is that several innocent persons have been shot down by tho Finkerton thugs, and the rail-road company has been placed In an unenviable position. DYING- - Koden Noel.

CLIPPED AND CONDENSED- - At Key West a day or two ago, as a Cuban with a goat-car- t was going up Duval street, the cart broke down. J he Cuban went into a yard, and, cutting off a portion of the tire alarm wire, pro-ceeded to repair his cart, after which he went on his way rejoicing. Mauderville Wiggins of New Brigh-ton, Staten Island, suggests drowning as a humane form of "capital punish-ment. Ho savs he came near being drowned not long ago himself. He went far enough to discover that death by that method would be painless. Among the passengers of the Iron Mountain train which left lit. Louis for Texas the other day was the family of Hans Brinkman, from Bremen, Ger-many.

J The camphor tree flourishes at Tampa, Fla., and its cultivation is said to be more profitable than any other business in the stale. Camphor can be distilled at any season of the year and the tree if notaffected bv heat or cold. It grows very rapidly. The process of distillation is very simple. Besides fruits and vegetables, Florida raises rattlesnakes in great abundance. A farmer who lives near Tampa says be has killed thirty laige rattlesnakes in his neighborhood within a few months. The last one was seven feet inches in length. The Tampa Tribune vouches for the veracity of the farmer. Flounders repleuish the ocean at a very rapd rate.. In a season one fionder produces many millions of eggs, scattering them broadcast through tho water. The sole produces 1,000,000 eggs, a plaico not less than 2,000,000, while a turbot has been credited with the deposition of 11,000,000 or 12,000,000 Careful observations and compari-sons made by scientific- Americans prove that the hottest region on the earth is on tho soutliwesteru coast of Persia, where Persia borders the gulf of the ,j6ame name.

The Bismarck monument fund; which is being collected despite the prejudice against monuments of himself, now amounts to some $130,000. The members of the reading-roo- of the Society of German students in Pra-gue recently resolved to subscribe $250 to the fund, but were prevented by the chief of police, who threatened to dis-solve their organization in case the con-tribution should.be made. In answer to correspondents in an English paper for ladies intending travelers to this country are warned not to try to wear out their old clothes while in America. "Ill-mad- e gowns in the modes of a past season are not to be thought of in America, where women dress well. Not only do they buy good, suitable and fashionable clothes, but they understand exactly how to put them on and make it a matter of consequence to do so well." Charleston, S. C, is noted for its flower gardens, and the News and Courier says they are now in their glory. "From White Point to Noi-sette's field of roses the recent rains, after the long drought, havo forced everything into liuuriant bloom. The roses, hybiscus, plumtago, geramium, fouro'clocks, clematis, etc., are covered with flowers, and Charleston's pride, the oleanders, pink, red, variegated and white, seem to be vying with each other as to which can put on the most beautiful robe." It is predicted that potatoes will go to 1.20 along with silver. The new stato of Washington has a population of 843,504. In 1S80 it had only 75,710.

THE 1'AVIMO QIJKSTJON. Much valuable timo is being lost in tho matter of paving our business streets. Tho work should have been begun several weeks ago. It is now getting late in tho season, and unless something is done to start the work im-mediately there will be no paving done this year. Some people are afraid that the expense of this much needed public Improvement will bo too heavy, and hence they would rather wallow through tho mud for years to come. This is a groat mistake, us the s will hava ten years iu which to pay for the street paving. As wo understand it, the taxpayer has the op-tion of paying tho whole cost at once and thus saving the interest, or paying it In ton equal annual installments. The money to defray tho expense will be raised by tho sale of teu-yoa- r district paving bonds, the payment of which is to be guaranteed by the city. This is tho method adopted lu other cities, and it has been found to work admirably. The increased value of property that will result from street paving will more than pay for tho cost of the improve-ment. We hope that at the next meeting of tho council somo member will take it upon himself to inquire into the causes of delay in paving, and also endeavor to stir up tho council so that it will tako immediate action towards inaugurating a work that will prove of incalculable benefit to the city. .

A l.lno er lee trio Railway to Link ihe Principal Points. Mr. C. iV. Haskell, one of the patri-archal pencil pushers of Colorado, whose genius now pervades the columns of tho American Fork Independent, re-turned to his thriving camp this morn-ing. Since his arrival In this country "Chollie" has put himself to some very lofty rustling in its behalf, and has been instrumental in the formulation of a number of Important projects. Con-spicuous among thoin there is a pro-jected line of electrio railway, by which it is intended to link the three impor-tant points of the locality, consisting of American Fork, Lehi and the bathing resort, which latter place is steadily growing in popularity. This line will extend over a picturesque route of eighteen miles, and will greatly promote the welfare of the district. Among the various im-provements that have been incepted at American Fork is a new hotel to be erected at a cost of $18,000, over which Mr. Pomeroy, of Montrose hotel fame, will preside. Mr. Robert Brewer, a well-know-resident of this oity, is now inquiring into tho deposits in the canyon, and will likely capture a good thing before returning. There has never beeu so much activity in and around the camp, which is rapidly developing into a prominent rival among Utah's sister-hood. THE GENTLER SEX.

It is announced that in the death of Margaret Solomon, near Sandusky, Ohio, tho last of tho onoo powerful tribo of Wyandotte Indians passed, away. Tho Wyandottos were a branch of the Iroquois family, or tho Hurons, as the French writers called them. Thoso Indians called themselves Wendats or Zendats, and wore first known at Mon-treal, where in the middle of the seven-teenth century they became Roman Catholics under the instructions of the French missionaries. Having, as allies of other tribes, become involved in a war with the Iroquois, they were nearly exterminated, and the remnant emi-grated to the country around Lake Superior. In 1070 they were gathered at Mackinaw, under the care of F'ather Marquette. Thonce they went to Detroit, whore they furnished 400 war-riors to tho ICnirlish in 1812. In 1820 they were settled, to the number of 000, near the headwaters of the Sandusky rivor in Ohio, and in 1832, by a treaty with the United States government, they romoved to Kansas, where tho few remaining members of the tribo even-tually acquired the rights of citizenship and oaoh became the owner of a farm of forty acres. We doubt if Margaret Solomon was tho last of tho tribe, as there are in all probability some of the j members yet living in Kansas. Ella Wheeler Wilcox advises poetically against looking for flaws as you go through life. Ella is all right as an occasional contributor, out she would make a poor city editor. The Kansas City papers hail with joy a recent train robbery because it gives them the opportunity of printing the names of the James and Younger boys in small capitals in tho editorial col-umns. The census returns show that demo-crats multiply more rapidly in Missouri than do tho republicans. Thus is tho calumny regarding alleged illiteracy as a primary consideration to domocracy exploded. Denver has at last decided in favor of asphalt for paving some of its princi-pal streets. If it takes as long to lay the asphalt as it has to come to a deci-sion in regard to material, Denver will go two years more without street pave-ments. COLORADO NOTES.
