Mrs. Eleanor Sherman Thackara, daughter of General Sherman, makes her first literary appearance in the Cos-mopolitan for Jtilv, in a discussion of "Three Groat Philadelphia Training Schools." Mrs. Alice Shaw has signed a eon-tra-to go to St. Petersburg and whistle for the, czar and nobles. The inference is that the czar has done so much whist-ling himself to keep up Ids courage that he lias got tired and is willing to pay some one else to do it for him. The handsome American will do it most charmingly. J. W. Powers, the cotton king of Webster count v, Ga., proposes to grind up 700 bushels'of peas, the balauce of a great crop fed to his stock, and use the material as a fertilizer for his cotton crop. Tho peas are worth from 85 cents to $1 per bushel, but ho expects to get a belter return from them in tho man-ner indicated. Ix New Brunswick two young men had a prize fight, the prize being a girl. She slood by to sec fair play. When tho light was over, both being well pun-ished, she dismissed them with the instructions never to come fooling around her again. If they did she would whip them both. Sensible girl. ECHO SONG. Who can aay where Echo dwells? In some mountain cave, methlnks. Where the white owl sits and blink Or in deep sequestered dells. Where the fox glove hangs its bells, Echo dwells, Echo! Echo rhantom of the crystal air, Daugh ter of sweet mystery Here is one has need of thee; him to thy secret lair, Myrtle brings he for thy hair; Hear his prayer, Echo! Echo! Echo, lift thy drowsy bead, And repeat each charmed word Thou must needs have overheard Yestere'on ere, rosy red, Daphne down the valley fled; Words unsaid, Echo: Echo! Breathe the vows she since denies! She hath broken every vow; What she would she would not now; Thou didst hear her perjuries. Whisper while I shut my eyes Those sweet lies, Echo! Echo!

The Louisana lottery bill has passed the Louisana house by a large majority. It will also pass tho senate with an amendment increasing the annual bribe from 91,01)0,000 to $1,125,000. The bill provides for a submission to a vote of the p eople of a constitutional amend-ment. Money talks, and tho bribe givers are happy in having sueeecded at last in puttiug upon tho state of Louisana an everlasting disgrace. It is a sure thing that the constitutional amendment will carry, as the lottery peoplo can buy the necessary number of votes. ARRIVALS AND CLOSE OF MAILS.

Several Kinds of Mothers. The mother represented the family wyereignty; the father was seldom seen, and he counted for little or nothing among the outside boys. It was tho mother who could say whether a boy might go flailing or in swimming, and she was held a good mother or not ac-cording as she habitually said yes or no. There was no other standard of goodness for mothers in the boy's world, and could be none; and a bad mother might be outwitted by any device that the other boys could suggewt to her boy. Such a boy was always willing to listen to any suggestion, and no boy took it hard if the other fellows made fun when their plan got him into trouble at home. If a boy came out after some such ex-perience with his face wet, and his eyes red, and his lips swollen, of course you had to laugh; he expected it, and you expected him to stone you for laughing. When a boy's mother had company, he went nnd hid till the guests were gone, or only came out of concealment to get some sort of shy lunch. If the other fellows' mothers were there, he might be a little bolder, and bring out cake from the second table. But he had to be pretty careful how he conformed to any of the usages of grown np society. A fellow who brushed his hair, and put on shoes, and came into the parlor when there was company, was not well seen among tho fellows; he was regarded in some degree as a girl boy; a boy who wished to stand well with other boys kept in the wood shed, and only went in as far as the kitchen to get things for his guests in the back yard. Yet there were mothers who would make a boy put on a collar when they had company, and disgrace him before the world y mak-ing him stand round and help; they acted as though they had no sense and no pity; but such mothers were rare. W. D. Howells in Harper's Young Peo-ple. The street sales of The Times last evening amounted to 940 copies. Ballots for the Goddess of Liberty can be obtained at The Times office. Twenty-tw- o new subscribers were enrolled upon The Times' subscription list since yesterday. Don't fail to vote for the Salt Lake Fourth of July Goddess of Liberty. May the prettiest girl win. HOME CENSUS FIGURES. The population of New York city, as estimated by Superintendent Murray, is 1,700,000. In 1880 the population was 1.206,209, and that of Brooklyn was 5li0,0U3. The present combined popu-lation of the two cities will be over 2,500,000. Philadelphia shows 1,040,449 people, an iucreaso of 11)3,270 over 1880. It will be a close race between Philadel-phia and Chicago for second place. Tho chances are in favor of Chicago. Brooklyn will rank fourth. Boston has had as slow a growth as Philadelphia. Its population is 418,000, a gain of only 55,000 in ten year?. St. Louis has about 430,000. Iu 1880 it had 350,518. Kansas City proper has about 150.000. In 1880 it had 55,785. lis immediate suburbs have about 100,000 people. Omaha has 132,000. In 1880 it had 80,518. South Omaha, joining tho southern city limits, has about 15,000. The population of the two cities is about 147,000. Denver has 120,000 people. Iu 1880 it had 35,620. Salt Lake has 53,732. In 1880 it had 20,708. The Liberals should not fail to nom-inate the very best men for school trus-tees at the Saturday conventions. The Kansas City Globe says that it requires the great acuteness of a Phila-delphia lawyer to tell just bow the sil-ver bill stands. Now that the board of public works has been appointed, it is hoped that there will be no more delay in be-ginning the work of street paving. The Times has the largest city circu-lation, and is therefore the best adver-tising medium in Salt Lake. Adver-tisers are beginning to appreciate this fact. Some One Swallowed the Tooth, I heard a rather amusing story of a number of young people who assembled a few days ago at the home of a charm-ing yonng lady somewhere in the eastern part of the city for a quiet little game at cards. During the progress of the even-iu- g one of the girls produced ber which passed in succession around the merry circle until its tiny lid closed only on an aching void and the delicate flavor of Italian mint. When the pretty box was returned empty to its owner, the delicate suffusion of hor flushed brow faded to a ghastly pallor as she cried, "Where's my shark's tooth? I had it in this bonbonniere." Then the pallor went aroun l as visions of the gas-tronomic impossibilities of the situation dawned on those who had partaken of the contents of the box somebody had swallowed the wisdom molar of a man-eatin- g carchariaa vulgaris, but who? Nobody knows to this day, but there was a sense of uneasiness about the little gathering thereafter that fell like a pall over the general jollity. Louisville Post. Whenever you go to Ogden take The Times' special llycr, either on tho Kio Grande Western or Union Pacific. Tho former leaves at 4:30 and the latter at 5 p. m. That great fake journal, tho New York World, is about to publish a novel written by different authors. Tho au-thor of one of tho chapters is John L. ' Sullivan. It must be it very striking chapter. People are warned to be careful in crossing the railroad tracks between Salt Lake and Ogden dining the period that so many Salt Lako special news-paper trains are being run between tho two cities. PRECAUTION AGAINST HUE. An ordinance in relation to fireworks and other highly combustible and ex-plosive substances was introduced iu tho city council on Tuesday evening, but for sonto reason was laid on the table, much to the disappointment of the insurance agents. It is too late now to have this ordinance passed with reference to the Fourth of July, but tho insurance men proposo to have it brought up again, and if possible, have it passed, so that it will apply the year round. This proposed ordinance pro-hibits the erection or maintenance of any building for the storage or manufacture of fireworks within tho city limits. The storage or sale of bombs or double-header- s is prohibited, and crackers, rockets, blue lights, candles, colored pots, lance wheels, or any other kind of fireworks aro not to be permitted to bo kept or sold in any wooden building. Au-thority "to sell fireworks at retail must bo obtained in writing from the chief of the fire department, tho sales to be made under very stringent regulations, all being intended to provent lircs. The quantity of fireworks to be kept in any one building is limited to $200 worth. The wholesale trade in fireworks is also put under stringent regulations. Tho object of the ordinance is a commendable one, and with some few changes tho council will probably pass it. We think it is a little too strict in some particulars, and tho price of a permit $10 per year for retailers and $50 for wholesalers is too high. The proposed ordinance is printed in full in another column. Matt Quay ought to be happy. His "matchless services" during tholast re-publican campaign have been endorsed by tho Pennsylvania republican con-vention. Quay is a matchless wire-puller, sure enough. The city council will receive the s thanks of tho community if it will make a few improvements in tho parks, es-pecially Liberty park. With an expenditure of a Bmall sum of money Liberty park can bo considerably im-proved. CRISP CONDENSATIONS. Tho value of a pack of hounds is re-vealed by tho sale of one recognized as among the finest in England for 3,000 guineas. The Japanese government has sent two engineers to Berlin to study the telephone system, with a view of establishing a line in Japan. At the recent annual Prussian Festival of Orders 1,496 medals, crosses, stars and the like were given out. Court Preacher Stocker received the order of the Red Eagle of the third class. Amendicament more powerful than quinine in counteracting fevers is said to have been discovered in Mexico. It is a plant called the pombolano, the root of which contains a substance analogous'to quinine. A vegetable flannel is made in Ger-many of fine leaves which are woven into undergarments and clothing of various kinds. One great advantage is no ver-min will lodge in clothes made from the material. A Bible has just been rediscovered in the Vatican library which is in Hebrew. It is supposed to be the oldest in the world and is valued at $100,000. It is so weighty that it requires two men to lift it, tho binding being in heavy metal. The vast extent of the rabbit plague in Australia is indicated by the fact that the government of New South Wales es-timates the expense of erecting rabbit proof wire fencing in the western and cen-tral districts of the colony at $15,000,000. It is a well known fact that ladies sel-dom trust their finest handkerchiefs to the tender mercies of u laundress. These pretty trifles are washtd at home and spread upon a window pane to dry. They peel off easily and look as fresh as if just from the shop. Some experiments made with a mixed fuel of coal and petroloum, on the Italian man of war Messnggiero, at Spezzia, are well worth attention. The Messaggiero, which never before surpassed fifteen knots an hour, reached almost seventeen with the new combustion. The engi- neers complain that the immense heat generated injures the boilers, but that, of course, can be met. The time required for a journey around the earth by a man walking day iuul night, without resting, would be 428 days; an express train, forty days; sound, at a medium temperature, thirty-tw- o and a half hours; a cannon bah, twenty-on- e and three-quart-er hours; light, a little more than one-tent- h of a second; and electricity, passing over a copper wire, a little less than one-tent- h of a second, The office seekers will have a great picnic in Kansas this year. All the state oflicers aro to be elected this fall, and seven mombers of congress and members of the legislature, and the legislature is to elect a United States senator.

The Pacific Insurance union has is-sued a letter of caution to the dealers iu fireworks, which we publish in an-other column. If the suggestions are acted upon, the danger of lire from tho explosion of fireworks will be greatly lessened. The Saturday Times will consist of twelve pages, and will be filled with in-teresting matter. It is a splendid ad-vertising medium, as it is the popular paper of this city. All advertisements for this issue should be handed in as early as possible on Friday. There is a great deal of money wasted in advertising dodgers which are distributed upon the street. People pay little or no attention to them. The advertising that brings the most returns for the least money is that which is done through the newspapers. A young Teepiug Tom, who was iined $10 for boring a hole in a Garfield Ueach' bathing house, occupied by a lady, complains to The Times that he didn't get justice. We agree with him. He ought to have been lined $100 and given forty days on bread and water. CLIPPED ASD CONDENSED. According to the latest reports of the minister of education, there are 40,000 primary schools iu Russia. A vessel sailed into the port of Odessa tho other day manned by mouks. Cap-tain, mate, boatswain, cook and sailors, all wore the dress of the monastery of Mont Athos. The name of the ship is the Prophele-Elie- . The rat plague continues in the feu district of Lincolnshire, England, and a good deal of damage is being done. Thousands have been killed, but there is no appreciable diminution. When in close quarters the rodeuts are verv vicious and attack people. A large number of chickens and ducks have been killed by them. i ! |
