Soma minutes went by, and tbe lady be-gan to think tbat tbe mission was quite a failure, when tbe door opened and a trap-ping colored girl came la with tbe Maltese cat at ber heels. Tbe girl bad hardly got in wben she broke out: "Mammy, did you send tbat 'ar Malty to fetch mel" "Co'seldid." "Wal, now, I'm tired o' hibln1 dat cat follerin' me up wherever I go. Seems like I can't go nowhere but you tend her after me ! bre I wus in de pra'ar meetin' sittln' quiet in de pew listenin' to Hutildy John-son relatin' her 'sperienoes wid grace, an' all 't once is walks dat cat right up de aisle, an' begins mewm an' yowlin' at de pew door! Oh.dey wus all lookin' an' laugtun', and notbin' fer me ter do, o' co'se, but tor went right out X hope ye'll 'scuse me, ma'am, but I reckon yon wouldn't like ter be fotched borne way from de pra'ar meetin' by a screechiu' Maltese cat, neither." The visitor could not help Inwardly reck-oning tbat she wouldn't. But ber ad-miration for the cat was so great tbat she msde a point afterward to get one of ber kittens. The stiimal, however, was a sreat disappointment. Mot that he seemed to bo lacking particularly Id intelligence be was Intelligent enough, on tbe contrary, to get himself lodged and fed and retted without rendering any return whatsoever.

WJS'IT'A MURDEK? Horrible" Experience) of a Famoua English Burgeon. Why Sir Oora-- MaDonald One Upoa a Time Cave I'p the Frantic of His Profoaatoa for Five Yaars Dta-atla- s; a LlTflns; Hu, When the Duke of Sutherland was on hit way to Florida last fall he had with him a medical gentleman who, besides his great knowledge of medicine, was a llrst-cla-raconteur. He amused the Duke's party with many anecdotes of English celebrities, says the Atlanta Constitution. One day he told the following story to' explain why Sir George McDonald, the celebrated surgeoo, had given up the practice ot his profession for Ave years just when five years1 practice was most valuable to him. "When Sir George McDonald," he said, "began his medical career the fates seemed to smile ou him. From the time be entered Edinburgh University he was recognized as a man of genius, and the great eminence U which he has raised himself waa confident-ly predicted both by bis professors and his fellow studeuts. He knew that a few years after he graduated a professor's chair would be waiting for him, and in the still more distant future were visions of wealth and honor Incalculable. Suddenly it Was reported through Edinburgh thst McDonald, the promising young surgeon, was suffer-n- g from nervous prostration, and then tbe news followed that he hod thrown aside his brilliant career and would practice the pro-fession no more. Tbe news waa true. One night McDonald went home an enthusiastic surgeon, and when next seen he waa evt dently born down by some great secret grlet, and tbe mention of a surgical opera-tion seemed to fill him with horror. He went abroad and for five years he remained a wandtsrer without occupation. Then he was persuaded to return to Edinburgh snd resume his profession. "One afternoon as Dr. McDonald was leaving the lecture hall of the university he was approached by a well known purveyor of subjects aud told that a man had died suddenly the day before of what was sup-posed to be heart disease, and for a certain consideration the body might be obtained. After a few minutes' conversation Mc- Donald walked on and the purveyor hurried oil to attend to bis ghastly business. . "Tbat night, just as the moon was rising ovor the top of the Edinburgh bouses, an apparently empty wagon, with two men on the seat, drove up to Dr. McDonald'e house. After a careful look about one of the men gave a low whistle, and almost immediately a window on the ground floor was opened. Against this window the wagon was backed, and the two men lifted a long, heavy object, wrapped in a sheet, and passed It into the house. The sound of money chang-ing hands followed; then the window was closed and the wagon was driven hastily sway. .t .,. "In lifting the heavy bundle the wrap-ping had been disturbed, and when Dr. McDonald turned from closing the window the moonlight was shining on tbe pallid face of a corpse, gulcklyhe lit s number of lights sud then drew a heavy curtain. From one side of the room he pushed long table, on which were dark stains, showing that it had been used many times before. On this he lifted his purchase and carefully examined It. It was tbs body of a man in the prime of life, and except that 'rigor mortis' had set in, snd that every joint was like a bar of iron, the man looked as though he were asleep. There were no signs of wasting dis-ease. His face was full, and, except for Its ghastly pallor, looked as it did in life. It waa evident the man had dlod suddenly, and heart disease was the doctor's specialty. From MsDould brought tmatm. terms and glasses, CIS ntuo basins an- - sponges, and laid them out in order by the ide of the corpse. The ubject died of heart disease, and so the heart was the part to be examined. Just as the knife touched the man's breast Dr. McDonald sprang back with a startled look. Was it possible that the eyelids bad quivered! No; it was only some passing draft which had made the light flicker over the dead face, but still he would make ure. There was no pulse, evory thing proved the man was dead be-yond perudventure. Then he proceeded with his dissection, Blowly snd carefully he removed the outer skin. Then two ribs and a part of the breast bone were taken out and laid aside. At last the diseased heart, which bad been the cause of death, lay rovealod. All this bad taken time and the doctor was hungry. He put bis instru-ments aside and from eloset produced s lunch which be ate, throwing occasional glanoes at the body on tbe table. When he had finished he resumed his work. The heart to be properly examined must be re-moved, and tbis he proceeded to do. He cut round the great organ of life and was about to take it from the body when he chanced to look up. Then slowly and as if evory movement was a physical torture he straightened himself. The hair on his head began to rise and his eyes were riveted on the face of the subject The last time be noticed that face the eyos were olosed, and lt was tho expressionless face of tbe dead; now all was changed. The eyes wore open and were glaring at him with a horrid expres-sion of reproach. At the same Instant the body on the table rose slowly to a sitting posture, and the perfect stillness of the room seemed broken by a single whisperer' word, 'murderer.' With his eves glued to the mutilated form Or. McDonald staggered back until he felt the wail behind him ant. oould retreat no further. For full two s those eyts glared at the doctor, and tbe air seemed to resound with that awful accusation. In that time be realized tbat the man never bad been dead, and had known snd felt every tvent of that horrible night. Then the mutilated bady fall back Shriek after shriek filled the house. The sleeping family, awakened by tbis dreadful noise, rushed down. They found Dr. just outside his office door, with his arms stretched out, barring the passage 'Don't go in I Don't go in!' he shrieked and then fell Insensible. Before daylight the same two men backed their wagon against tbe doctor's wiudow, and the bun-dle, wrapped in a sheet, was passed out U them, but Dr. McDonald was doiiriou un stairs." Now the effect of the passage of Cullom's Bill would be to take away the vote of the people, so that they couldn't have a voice in the selection of the men to govern and control their loeal afiairand over-se- e the ex-penditure of the money collected from them. Kdmunds,by his bill.says this is wrong. It is an infringment of the Constitution. You would be depriving them of the franchise on account of their belief, and I cannot lend myself to any scheme that will for a moment violate that charter of human rights. I will remedy the evil. I am in sympathy with you in the result you want to accomplish and for this reason I will introduce my own measure. That which Cullom wished to do directly, Edmunds does indirectly. He leaves the people their votes. That vote which is of account only at the ballot box for the purpose of saying who shall be their local otP.cer.s and lawmakers, but he leaves them nothing to do with it. He will not violate the constitution directly, but lawyer as he is he will do it indirectly, lie has a great deal of charity for this people when the constitution of his conntry is in question but it is of that kind of charity that "vultures show to lambs". Well doe3 he deserve the cognomen of the "Icicle". THE LETTER OFTHE LAW. Senator Edmonds in all his legis-lation against the "Mormons" has always had an inclination to do what he aimed to do, in the way of legislation in a constitu-tional manner, and whatever rights he has sought to deprive them of he has first had to reconcile to his own mind was not in violation of any constitutional right, as this in-strument he has a great reverence for, and prides himself upon the fact that he is what is called a con-stitutional lawyer. That he looks upon the Cullom Sill as an infringement of this right, there can be no question, from the fact that he has introduced a bill making all Count and Territorial offices in this Territory appointive. . , If he did not look upon the Cullom Bill as being unconstitutional what would be the use of introducing this Other, nil he would have to do would be to give his aid to the disfranchis-- - ing bill and the people, at least a ma-jority of them, would be robbed of a voice in their selection, and it would be left to those who would select such persons to fill those offices who would be in as much accord with the Sena- -' tor's views as those selected by one Ijnan would, either president or gover- - RLGRET. In beginning its career as a news-paper the Register made a resolve, and gave it utterance, that in pur- - suing the even tenor of its way, it would not forget that it owed a duty to its readers to keep the tone of the paper up to such a standard which would forbid it to step out of its onward course for the purpose of chastising every Ulnatured cur that might' snurl at it, because curs fol- - ' low the bent of their nature and can not help it, and it is a source of 1; ratification to them to be noticed. It makes them believe that their . snarls are of consequence in the world, and though when turned up-c- j they may take flight and escape under some shelter of such a char-acter that the chatiser could not stoop to follow, there they will con-tinue to snarl, and lay the flattering unction to their souls, if they have any; that they are keeping the other :it bay. That we even depar cd from our m, ik-- i wcfk. evpri hv a rcfrr- - "- - r - J ence as tg what we might, do if the snarling should be kept up, we now regret, when in our moments of re-flection we come to the only con-clusion we can legitimately come to, and that is they cannot help it, and their snarls don't hurt anyone but only exhausts the little vitality in the . animal's organism. A newspaper,that is worthy of the name, is a frainer of public opinion, and that opinion should be of the highest grade. It .should be an educator and a civil-ize- r and not an organ for the dissem-ination of filth and abuse. When it descends to this, it is prostituting its high calling, ami shows conclu-sively that it is engineered by the wrong mind and public opinion con-demns it. Such a course as this may meet with the approval of a few, but they are not the minds that sway men and make them think, but of that calibre that laugh because others do, and then wonder why they did so. Again the Register declares its stand. It is called forth to fill a want, San Tete is in need of a news-paper, and the object of the promo-ters of this enterprise is to fill this want, and no other. It intends to act as a medium for the conveying of thought, and that upon subjects ,of interest to the community: wherein it can by diffusing infor-malio- n build up the business or use-fulness of the county it will do so, but it is not a character destroyer or a puller down of the reputations ',bt fnrrtJ01frmrfm-"'l- t V?nT ti'ot'Tje- - '" "l7Caif!r;"rf may and has the opportu-nity, say smart (?) things for the purpose of flattering its own vanity ,,and making the rabble laugh. In conclusion we say to all those having no higher aim in life, if you have nothing to heap upon us but personal abuse get it all off at one good rally. We have no answer for it. We do not intend to supply any of the slirue that reptiles fatten upon. We have matters of more importance to occupy our minds and life is too short to be frittered away in investigating an echo. We may be charged with cowardice, but we can stand it, when we bear in mind the sourse, and if we don't cry .put the curs won't know whether we are hurt or not. We will go on, try-ing at least, to honor our calling and perhaps succeed, while the curs keeping at our heels may wake up some fine day and find that even the bone that was in their kennel has disappeared and they are minus power . or patronage as they were before of honor or reputation. Adieu, scandal-monger- reputa-tion sniirchers, and character de-stroyers, you will never hear from us again personally, because our course is upward and onward and hence we will soon, very soon, leave ' you grovelling among your native elements and be as much above jou as we will be above your reach and understanding.

The following is a correspondence to the Sentinel: Cheiter, June oih i8o. Mr. Editor: I er from the fust num-ber of Hie comity Kki.istlr, now before me, you have a worthy competitor in the field, one lhat beards the HeiUtntl an guard ul the county seat. One who que Uion your right to wear the laurel t.1 exclusiver.es so far as the onlv paper in the county is concerned. In their "To the Public," justice de-mands me to say they have struck the key note siquarely." It is saidcompelilion is the life of trade, it has been sometimes ihe death of some trades. Whether San Pete can atloid two papeis remains to be seen. You have the inside track as the initial papei, the seat of county news is yours, from county and probate sources, the known enterprise of your people should make your paper the true county paper. Look well to your laurels. True CtNTRK. We agree with the correspondent in the fact that we "struck the key note squarely," we aimed to, and ac-cording to "True Centre" have suc-ceeded. In all our aims we expect to hit the nail squarely on the head, and we expect to adhere to the line of policy laid down in our salutatory, "To the public" "as close as the needle to the pole." We agree that while competition is the life of trade, sometimes it is the "death," also, but we see no reason for this in our case. San Pete is a county of 15,000 inhabi-tants; very often in the East wefiiid t nimormA eirWi o more ttin one-tent- h that number supporting a news-paper, and very often we find towns of 3,000 or 4,000 inhabitants sup-porting two and three papers. Right here in Utah, we find Utah county supporting one daily, one one semi-weekl- and three we.-kl-papers, six in all; and our neighbor is not three times our size. Of course we believe in the "survival of fittest," if one must fail, but see no reason why either should fail. We do not agree with "True Cen-tre" when he says the Sentinel has the "inside track" on account of being the initial paper, or the loca-tion of the paper, as we consider that we are the only county paper there is in San Pete, hence have the inside track, if there is any inside track to it; but we would rather take a straight race, each one even, with even chances, hence we give up our claim and right to the inside track which will be plainly demonstrated in u shbrt time and we have started even, breast to breast. We are county, truely and sincerely San Pete. Speaking of "laurels," we think there is little doubt in San Pete where they rightly belong, and the Register which, with its broad views and liberal policy, has so gallantly carriedthem off, intends to wear them from now on. No country manufactnres so many artificial pearls as France.

I Goes to Praycr-Martl- Bring noma Miss Ellia OraDgeMossoui. Over at the West End, aays the Boston Transcript, there Uvea a colored family which is noted for possessing a breed of -cats which it seems to have a monopoly of remarkably intelligent animals they are If not always sleek and handsome. Not long ago a lady on Beacon Hill who was In need of a servant, and to whom a daughter of this colored household had been recom mended, called one evening at tbe little house up an alley where the people lived. A stout, black woman came to the door. "Does Eliia Orangblossom live heret" the lady asked. "Yes, she do, ma'am ; but she ain't In Jes' dis minute," said tbe stout, colored woman "Butef you'U step to, I'll sen' out arter her." She led the way in and seated the lady to the living-roo- of the house. There were several cats present, one of which, a scrawny but alert-lookin- Maltese with green eyes, rubbed np amiably and In-quiringly against ths visitor's dress. "You come 'way from dar, you Malty!" exclaimed the colored woman to the cat. "You hyah mel Now you go ober t da chu'chandgit'Lliy, and bring her home. You go fetch 'Liry I" .he repeated, holding the door open. The cat, after sidling and wavaring on the threshold a moment, as cats always do in ordernot to appear too obedlent,disapnewd through tbe door. .
