The Watertown (N.Y.) Reformer tells this story: "A few days since a small fine looking,1 bright boy came into, the cars and took a seat. Shortly after a minister came in and took a 6eat before and facing him, when thefollowing col-- v creation ensued: Well, my little lad, what is your name?' asked the minister. My name is James Foot. What is your name?" William Hand," was the answer. Where are you going?" asked the . . . minister. To Rome, sir; and where are you going?" was the response of the boy The minister could do no less than an- swer, Camden. IIow old are you? was tio next question of the minister. Eight years replied the boy. How old are you, sir? Thi minister hesitated but gate no s answer. Are you alon?" was the next question of the minister . Oh no sir replied the boy, pointing to the passengers, I- haje plenty of company." But have you no friends on board to look after you?" aaked the minister. No sir, have you? This was not answered, but was followed by a little history.

Some cynio thus writes about the sex: A woman ahe what says pleases without being knocked down for it. She can take a snooze after dinner 'While her husband goes to work. She can go into the street without being asked to stand kraal" at every saloon. She can stay at home in time of war, and get married again if her husband gets killed. She can wear clock. oorsets if too thick, and other fixings it The weather still continues clear and too thin. She can get .divorced from her husband if she sees one she likes betbeautiful; not a cloud to be seen. ter. She can get her husband in debt all over, until he warns the publio not to ' VIRGEN TERRITORY'. trust her on his account.

This for extent would give Virgen Territory an area equal to the State of Pennsylvania. Sir, we are boo far from Salt Lake for our convenience. We want a Dixie capital, we want a political government of our own. Wc can have it; let us organize, send a delegate to Congress, and obtain (which we can) that patronage that Utah and other Territory have from the parent Government. Then Our.

Thousands of young orchards and vineyards planted out every year and nurseries anualiy increasing in cum her and size. Still we hare only begun to supply tha grest demand for choice fruit even at home. The towns, cities and. colonies in Montana, Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona 'in a groat measure, depend upon us for ripe as well as dried and preserved frui s, and as these are generally- mining reigons the precious metal at large prices must necessarily be the result of marketing. As the list of our exports is small and that of im ports rather the reverse, does it not stand every one in hand to exert himself to inerease the area of his orchard and vineyard, as well as toim prove the quality- of the fruit by obtaining the yery best kinds and varieties to be found either at home or abroad, without regard to labor or expense. , We think so, and cannot understand how come . apparently thrifty and sensible men will pass year after year with but a small numbers of tree and vines and those of the most ordinary More anon.
