Show Black is not White. Tooele City, U. T., Aug. 31, 1S71. Editors Sell Lake Herat J: Tilings are getting into a pretty state out here in the banner county. The other day, wishing to take a horseback ride, I called, my servant: 1 " Pat.," said I. "Hallo!" said he. I "Saddle up the black horse; I wish to take a ride." "Yes, sir!" said ho. Presidency be brought the white horse. " Do you call that tho black horse," said I. " Yes, sir 1" said he. I ''Are you crazy?" said I. "Xo, sir ! Only my reason and judgment , are gene." "Gonewhere?" "Gone to Salt Lake City, sir." "How did that happen ?" And he told his story thus : "Sometime ago Judge MeKill'em issued an alternative mandamus, requesting re-questing me to believe that black was white, and if I didn't I was to appear before bim to show the reason why. I appeared and showed the reason why, but it was not satisfactory to the Judge, so he fined me $400, and issued is-sued a peremptory mandamus compelling com-pelling me to believe that black is white." Of course I discharged Pat. I had no use for a servant who was the victim vic-tim of conspiracy, and whose reason and judgment in regard to his duties were under the control of Judge Mc-KiU'eni.
