' Farmers iu Utah are not so contracted in their views that they cannot appreciate the advantages accruing from the use of improved agricultural implements. Nor is there such condition of affairs here umong the laboring classes as would preclude the possibility of using any kind of labor and machinery without loss to the We are certainly blessed in this respect. In many sections even of thw country the most primitive methods of tilling the soil are still in do not Togue, because realize the situation. While in many other parts where agriculturists have endeavored to learn and practice the true ncienee of their work, and perby form the necessary labor utilizing the inventions of the age, the working classes prompted and aided by those who thrive through lawlessness, have destroyed the obnoxious property, have threatened personal vengennce on persons who machinery, employed labor-savinand have, defended themselves by aying that they cannot see the bread' taken from their families by allowing any system to obtain a foothold, the adoption of which would deprive them of employ hienf. This U in thickly-settlelocalities, where many families are dependent Upon the products of every farm. In the central and eastern states of the Union, there is not an opportunity for every man to h.ive all the land ho may wish to cultivate; no that people trained only to till the oil of other and wealthy men feel a dread when they see their only avenue for employment being closed. But in this Territory such a state of jtiEiirs is far from being realized. all the land they wish, and 3k?n they buy whatever machinery they ctioone without being molested therefor. Even the poorest man if he find that the work ho once performed is being done by the skillful contrivances of inventors", has still a fresonrce and one worth more to him thnn ntnadv emnlovment under nm time-savin- pos-eso- r. land-holder- s g d maslrr. Thousands of acres of valuable country aro open for settlement. Any industrious man can break in the virgin .soil and win for himself a sustenance without being dependent upon any other person's whim. The trouble here is not that land is scarce or machinery too plentiful, T)ut rather the opposite. When we watch the manner of ploughing and harrowing, of reaping, mowing and threshing, as conducted bv somo of our extensive fanners, we seem to think that we have attained perfecin these departments al tion But the most complete ready. complete piece of agricultural machinery now in Utah is a toy compared with some gigantic implements how in general use. It seems as though having the best field for such artieles here, we aro somewhat careless about availing ourselves of their benefits. The system of ploughing, for instance, as practiced here U with infantile, compared the ' English manner of making furrows in the earth. Ploughs propelled by steam and having from ix to twelve blades aro used almost exclusively in England; while here In Utah, situued in the country which is the very paradise of inventors, a mm is content to work up a farm of three hundred acres by means single-bladeof the horse plow. In numerous other An immediate general war in Europe is no longer imminent. People who delight in the clash of arms, when the scene of a battle is far distant, have decided to possess their souls in patience and await the inevitable. The universal belief is, however, that any reprieve of this present nature will be but for a short time. The fact is that cverv body, and esp cially the citizens of thfs country, have decided that a long and bloody conflict between the great powers of the eastern world must occur. Nobody would feel satisfied to believe that a perma nent peace has been established; so a salvo to their wound of temporary disappointment is found in the thought that in a few months or years Europe will be convulsed by one of the world's greatest struggles. A particular reason for this belief is found in the disposition of Russia. People who are conversant with the past history of this warlike nation, and who have watched with exceeding interest her manifestly forced politic action in the present troubles, are not slow to as sert that she is only preparing her self, by the accumulation of resources, for a powerful blow against England, and to reach after that power which she hopes will culminate in her universal sway. Of course the two prominent figures now are the enemies England and inveterato Ilussia; but the other and minor powers attract some attention. They at present are engaged in watching with fearful eyes the conduct of the two principals, knowing well that their prosperity and even national existence depend upon the turn of a diplomatic wheel. But notwithstanding all the complexities of situation, matters are likely to remain in their present condition for a time. When warlike perfection is reached by one of the two great powers, some excuse will certainly bo found for an attack. The present generation are likely to see and hear all they wish to of bloodshed. , Tim mama for grave robbing has not entirely died out. The latest occurrence of this kind happened recently in Chicago. The body of a young woman named Matilda Strib-linwho had died of typhoid fever, was taken from a vuult in the Bohemian Catholic cemetery. A day or two afterwards, prof. Fratt, of the Chicago Homeopathic college, upon reading a report of the death, called upon the police, and statod that such a body as the ono described had been left at his college: it had arrived in his nhsennn. and be did nrt. V .mu uu leCoivcu it. Jlo said he had instructed his janitor to receive "subjects," but expected they would come in the right way always. Three detectives were put on the case, and some relatives of deceased being communicated with, camo and recognized the body. The police have got a slight clue to the perpetrators, but as yet no arrests have been made. MSTCICT OF COLUMBIA: W. to-tla- y MERCHANDISE. RECEIVED !

The quicksilver mines of California are valued at about $2,500,000. From 1876 to 1878 they produced 168,682 flasks of quicksilver. Times are very hard. Thousands of people are out of employment in San Francisco, and hundreds in every other city of importance throughout the State. A valuable deposit of onyx has been found in Sonoma county, and it is the more valuable because it is small. Some specimens exhibited in San Francisco aro pronounced superior to anything of the kind yet discov ered on the Pacific Coast.

KEENEY, PUBLIC informs dispatch received us that Patterson, of Colorado, has written letter to Teller, emphatically denying the charge made by the Litter in the Senate that the Democrats of the Stata had spent more money in the late' elections than had been spent by nil of the political parties there for the past fifteen year:. Patterson also intimates, in a polite manner, that Teller is a falsifier in general, and respectfully asks that ft of Teller's own committee be, appointed to investigate the charges made by their chairman against the Democrats of Colorado, which, no doubt, will be granted.
