As it is, we aro under the necessity of crediting the Salt Lake Herald, which came to us this morning freighted with the ponderous news that San Francisco was to have a democratic organ, and that its editor Just why we have nent divine takes up the cudgel In defense of the Bishop, in the course of his comments, the reverend gentleman gives evidence of having a level head on his shoulders, in the following home thrust, he says: "I aa inclined to think that most of our; proposed reformers are onesided people people who not only have hobbies, but aro apt to ride them with cruel severity." While these people possessing but one idea, and who, it may reasonably be supposed, never prny at all, hold up their hands in holy horror when a good uiau like Bishop Tuttle utters an earnest prayer in a theatre, it will easily be believed that, in their own way, they are always ready to prey "instant in season and out of season." Ilad we access to that class of per sons, we would commend to their no tice a form of prayer given to the world by a good poet (perhaps not a model Christian.)

We do not believe it, but perhaps a key to unlock the rajstery may be found in the fact, that as the uew Governor, Kmory, has not put in an other old appearance, and, n sundry ladies have lately been nominated to fill the vacancy weeasioned by the removal to New Mexico, of Governor Axtell, the journalist referred to by the Mail may be out electioneering for the position, and went to Corinne as the only fountain of influence and information should he not succeed in becoming Governor of Utah, perhaps he will accept the vacant seat in the presidential chair, if Grant concludes to give it up. At all events we feel quite sure that "the lovers of good morals" will not fail to make ample provision for this able and vigorous individual who has mado such a close study of the festering system. MISSOURI. Although, as we announced a few days since, the grasshoppers seem to have left Missouri, it did not suit their purposes to go until much in jury had been done to fruits and grain. In a private letter received yesterday by a person in this city, occurs the following, which we are permitted to copy. The letter was written at Oregon, in Holt County: "We are having very doll times, the grasshoppers have devastated our country, and fanners are discouraged; all the fruit gone up." We hope, however, that, as the hoppers have left ai1 so early a day in theseason, the farmers may have planted corn in fields where their other grain was destroyed. Corn will mature in that country, if planted as late as this date, should the season be favorable. Of course the fruit cannot be replaced, and this fact may be of interest to our Utah fruit growers. research. What we wish, however, to refer lofis aa "eiodHS of gentiles from Salt Lake" to which our neighbors Montgomery Queen's Circus of the Corisno Mail frequently refers, and which causes so much uneasiness on their part.

A rich man, in answer to the question how he became so very successful, recited the fallowing btory: I will tell you how it was. One day when I was a lad, a party of girls and boys were going to pick blackberries. I wanted to go with them, but was afraid father would not let me. When I told him what was going on, and he at once gave me permission to go with them, I could hardly contain myself. I rushed into the kitchen, got a big basket, and I had asked mother for a luncheon. the basket on my arm, when my father called me back. He took my hand and said in a very gentle voice: 'Joseph, what are you going to do?' 'To pick berries,' I replied. 'Then, Joseph, I want to tell you one thing. It is this: When you find a pttty good bush do not leave it to seek a better one. The other boys and girls will run about,-- , picking a little here and a little there, wasting a great deal of time and getting few berries.' I went and had a capital time. Iut it was just as my father said. No sooner bad one found a good bush than he called all the rest, and they left their several places and ran off to the newly-foun- d treasure. Not content more than a minute or two in one place, they rambled all over the whole pasture, got very tired, aud at night had but few berries. My father's words kept ringing in my ears, and I 'stuck to my bush.' When I had done with one I found another, and finished that; then I took another. When night came I had a large basket full of berries, more than all the others pu together, and was not half so tired as they were. I went home very happy. But when I entered I found that my father had been taken ill. He looked at my basket fall of ripe blackberries and said: Was I not 'Well done, Joseph. told when to I right you always stick to your bush?' lie died in a few days after, and I had to make my way in the world as best I fcould. But my father's words sank deep into my mind, --and I nevei forgot the experience of the blackberry party; I 'stuck to my bush.' When I had a fair .place and was doing tolerably well, I did not leave it aod spend weeks and months seeking one a little better. When other young men said: 'Come with us, aud we will make a fortune in a few weeks, I shook my head, and 'stuck to iny bush.' Presently my employers oltered to take me into business with them. I stayed with the old house until the principals died, and then 1 had everything I wanted. The habits of sticking to my business led people to trust me, and gave me a character. I owe all I have and am to this motto: 'Stick to your bush.' In infant in Terre Haute, Indiana, strangled lately by a cat in bed.
