Mrs. Ilagan presented the cane, and Judge Hagan made a few congratulatory remarks, to which Mr. Earll made a graceful and appropriate response. A collation was afterwards enjoyed by the party and kind sentiments were interchanged over Chapman & Scully's choicest Moselle. The cane was elaborately mounted with gold carvings, upon which was inscribed the name of "A. II. Eurll, presented by the ladies of the Catholic Fair, Salt Lake." It was Mr. Earll's intention to receive his friends at his resideuce, but owing to the illness of his wife, he was compelled to forego that privilege.

Indeed, have often noticed that when a Con- .Tessiiian is engaged in a big steal, or when he supports, in the supurbs of Washington, a private establishment not resided over by his wife, he seeks to withdraw suspicion from himself by furiously pitching nno Brigham Young or the delegate from Utah. But this has got to be pretty well played out. Utah has been represented in Congress many years, and the official aud personal conduct in Washington of her several delegates has been of such a character that not one of them has even been suspected of wrong doiug. They have never been charged with dishonesty, intemperance or licentiousness. They have never been connected with any ring or job, nor have they ever en deavored to procure the passage of bills to Eubserve tin ir personal purposes, but have invariably exhibited a devotion to the interests of their cous'itueuts which other representatives might copy to advantage.

She was loaded with 150 tons of gunpowder, and following the statement of the crew, as given in the Liverpool Daily J'ost with a general cargo, iu which a quantity of matches convenient-l- y figured. The ship was making a good passage, and all was going well till she had been about twenty days out, when symptoms of insanity began to appear in the conduct of the captain. The symptoms rapidly increased in intensity, and presently manifested themselves iu an exceedingly unmistakable manner. At midnight on the 7th of the present month the crew, sleeping in their berths, were aroused by shouting ' and the shuffling of feet, and rushing on deck they found tdieir captain with londed in his hand, gesticulate ing, raving, and threating to shoot the watch. This was not a pleasant situation, to be at sea with a captain prone to turn out of his cabin in the dead of. the night with loaded pistol", and au evident recklessness as to where their contents might go. But the sailors seemed to have taken the matter very coolly, aud soothing the madman iu their kind but. very clumsy manner. they iuduced him to turn in again, he promising, like a child who had been naughty, to "go to sleep" aud not make ' any fresh disturbance. llalf an hour passed away, the ship meanwhile pursuing her course over the darkened sea, and the sailors all asleep again save the watch. Suddenly theie was another alarm, and the crew crowded again on deck to find a sight more startling even than that of a madman ' armed with loaded piste's. The cap- tain had, in accordance with his prom- ise, gone dowu into his cabin aud fas- tened his door, but bo far from "gi'injj ' to sleep" be bad set the t place on fire, and, looking down through the skylight, the horrid crew could se the flames through the lurid cloud of smoke ' that filled the room. With 100 lous of gunpowder in the bole the case was plainly one that demanded instant treat, merit. The cabin door was shut, and so the men dashed iu the skylight uud tried to get dwn through that. Tut this course was found to be iinpracicHblc. and the second mate and the carpenter volunteers to go down, break open the cabin door, and secure the madman, who, still armed to the teeth, was pacing round the cabin uttering shouts of demoiiiac glee. The two men succeeded' in breaking down the door, and the second mate entering was shot thro igh " th head by the captain, and retreated, followed by the carpenter. The llames were threading with h rapidity which presently led to the discovery that, the captain bad carefully prepared for the fearful scene by soaking parts of the vessel m parathne oil. When the sailors learned this they gave up hopes of saving the ship, and a move was made for the boats. As the long boat was swung round ready to drop from the davits, the infuriate captain having now added a bayonet to his armory, appeared en the deck, and seeing the preparations for escape, rushed iu the crew gathered around the boat, fired at the bead of one aud stabbed another in the (shoulder with a bayonet, A sailor, picking up a handspike, smote down the madman's arm, aud the rent rushing upon hitn ho was overpowered aud disarmed.
