It was necessary to entertain the
Imperial Musoovy ducks in an im
pressive and gorgeous manner, and,
as this means a dinner was resolved
upon.—But Mrs. Hayes, who belongs
to the advanced school of social re
form, not only-in dress bnt drinks,
put her little foot down in a way to
indicate a holding of the fort, as a
woman only can, and said: “No in
toxicating liquors at may table, Ruth
erford B.” Now Rutherford B. is
not averse to a quiet drink. He is
not yet educated up to the “ Teetotal
Ebeuezer Lane Association’’ of hot
gospelers for cold drinks, but he is
trained since marriage to obey the
behest seen on Western steamers,
that reads, “ No interference with
the officess of the boat .’’ Mrs. Hayes
and her children are the officers of
the high-pleasure kick-up-behind
steamer, warranted" to run in a dew,
and called tfee Rntherford B. Hayes.
And yet it was embarrassing.—As
Governor of Ohio, with dinner at
noon, with all the food placed on the
table at once, with a stout servant
girl called a help sailing around and
shouting, u Bread,sir— meat, sir,” in
the most startling manner in one’s
ears, wine was unknown, and of course
uncalled for.—The guest, if there
happened to be one, fortified himself
whith “ whisky cocktail” at the bar
of the Neil House before he started
for the Goffe^nor/s mansion, and teok
what is known as a “ snorter ’’ in
Ohio immediately after. Here a
snorter is known as a rt water repel-
lant’’ or “ moth exterminator,’’ or a
“ hot Newman.”—Here, however,
the affairs is quite different. A din
ner at the White House, a State din
ner at that, or a dinner at any civil
ized habitation, without wine, is un
known.
Scientists tell us that while excess
in wine drinking is bad, very bad, a
hot dinner washed down with ice
water is death. And a most painful
death at that. Why spinal mening
itis is nothing to it. A debate hi the
Senate is not tvorse. A case before a
department involving millions, when
the Secretary will not study snd is
afraid to act, is mild agony to ice
Mater and hot meats. The belter
M r ay is to dispense M’ith the dinner.
If people have to be killed in being
entertained, it were M'ell to do with
out the entertaining. Life is sM*eet,
even in a Muscovy duck or an Amer-
can official. The Hon. William M.
Evavts was consulted. He mildly
suggested, in a short paragraph of
half an hour in one sentence, that to
throw cold water on or in the imperi
al representative of our good friend,
the Government of Russia, u’ould be
considerod a diplomatic affront, and
might lead to the most disastrous
complications. But Mrs. Rutherford
B. was not to be moved by the heavy
sentences of the learned and eloquent
State Department. She kept her lit
tle foot down firmly, while an expres
sion stole over her fair face that made
the State Department look around
uneasily for its hat. The Hon. Wil
liam M. has but one disinterested af
fection in this world, and that is for
his hat. It is amusing to witness his
extreme anxiety in behalf of his tile
when Z. Chandler or Jndge Black is
near. The propensity of the first to
sit on things, and of the last to mis
take, in his absent mindedneps, a hat
for a spittoon, makes them danger
ous.
The State Department subsided,
and Rutherfoi'd B., sorely puzzled,
called his Cabinet together. Mrs.
Hayes took her knitting, and, seating
herself near the council board, brought
to bear the moral influence of the
Teetotal Temperance movement. The
Secretary of State threw off a brief
opinion in one sentence that lasted
half an hour, and left the Cabinet
looking as if peering into the dim dis
tance in search of the Unknown. The
Secretary of the Treasury thought
that it should be left to each one to
fetch his ou’n drink and pay for the
same. The Attorney-General said
that Neu f Jersey cider, sold as cham
pagne, M’ould b,e a good substitute.
It made people ill and sometimes
killed, but he never heard of any one
getting intoxicated upon it. The
Postmaster-General said it did not
intoxicate but caused insanity, and
people treated to that broke things*
The Secretary of War remarked that
if guests were not satisfied with a
good square meal of hog and hominy
it Mas not worth M’hile bothering
about them. As for his part, he
drankrcold water udien thirsty, and
thought that good enough for any
“ Grand Dook” on earth.
1! '
The naviri hero of the Wah-bosh
stated that his practice trs to have a
brown jug with some good old uliis-
ky, and if a fellow was a little weakly
or very thirsty he gave him a nip.
For his part—and here he shivered
his limbers and reefed his etack-pipe
and ship-ahoyed considerably—he be
lieved in grog. At this Mrs. Hayes
gave the aid jack-ass—we beg par
don, jack tar—a look tjjat silenced

in’,” ordered the chasseur.
And sure enough, the most dismal
groans, interspersed with yells, came
from the carriages. Reaching the
legation, Doctors Garnett and Yar
row M'ere hastily called in. The im
perial diplomatic party M as covered
with mustard plasters and dosed with
brandy and opium. These , learned
physicians soon diagnosed the* dis
order. Ice M*atrr to a Russian stora<-
ach is death. It is a most paiuful
death. Between paroxoisms of pain
our imperial friend, Alexis said : “ I
saw in New York a droll play. It
M r as a feast of raM r turnips and u’ater.
I thought it very droll. I laughed.
I shall never laugh at it again. It is
not droll. Good heavens, it is pain.”
The next day the imperial party hast
ily retreated. The Muscovy ducks
left on the first train. They feared
being invited to another dinner. Ta

Brigham Young’s Infamy.
THE TEAMS TEUS OF ’53 WHO WE UK FORK-
WARNED AND FOREARMED.—?HE STORY ,
OF A SURVIVOR.
Mr. George Lowery, of Haverhill,
Mass., is-one of the few survivors of
the body of teamsters, for the mur
der of whom, while under Mormon
escort, Brigham Young is alleged to
have issued an order on the 19th of
April, 1858. Mr. Lowery is very
positive that the order had reference
to the party of which he was one, and
not the party so brutally murdered
at Mountain Meadows, the September
rm „ .. v . . „ , . previous. The survivor states that
The Mephistopheles. of the Ihtenor L „.**,**,*
suggested substituting lager beer
and pretzles for M ine, and Said that
our German fellow-citizens would be
well pleased with the change.
At this moment the Hon. Stanley
Matthews entering, suggested a com
mission. And failing to carry it, for
[ack of time, as some one said, offered
a compromise. First, that this being
a dinner to foreigners, in all dinners
hereafter it should be understood
that it M’as not proper to go behind
the returns. And in all dinners to
nativec strong drinks M'ere to be ex
cluded. Mrs. Hayes accepted the
proposition M’ith an amendment to
the effect that she, her husband, the
Administration and the guests of the
White House should not be called on
to partake, but have each one a gob
let and an ice pitcher at the plate as
an example.
In this issue our B. Y. M. gives a
glowing occount of that dinner. But
he says nothing of the result of the
experiment in wine. It pains us to
put it to record. It nearly proved
fatal to two members of the imperial
family and a plenipo. Observing that
the head of the table drank no wine,
nor the fair lady, but swallou ed huge
goblets of iced water, these polished
gentlemen, wishing to live up to the
customs of the country, also declined
wine, and su'allowed u’ater. In a
short time the calm face of the Rus
sian diplomate began to twitch as if
suffering from heat lightning. Soon
Alexis and Constantine gave evidence
of facial conv nlsions. It was observed
that while they lifted their goblets
with one hand the other was pressed
upon their digestive apparatus. This
continued until the dinner was ended,
and the leave taking was of the most
hasty sort. It was rs much as they
could do to get au r ay politely. Once
in the carriages, the minister gave an
order to the chassenr in the Russian
dialect that sounded like a bnnch of
Chinese crackers exploding in an
empty barrel. “Say you, drive-
drive like a bull; dey is all—all dy-
expedition against Utah, in 1857.
He and eight other teamsters sepa
rated from that command and started
for California. They got lost in the
mountains, wandering about for a
month, finally coming out iu Molada
Valley, u’here they M'ere captured
by a Mormon Sergeant and taken to
Box Elder City. Fr- ra thence, they
were taken to Salt Lake -ity. At
that point, a party of forty-tM o team
sters M’ere gathered, who wanted to
go to California, and Colonel Lee,
then in command there, gave permis
sion for their departure, turning them
over to Captain Smith, M'ith an es
cort of seventy-two men, proposing
to accompany them to Castle Rocks,
a distance of 150 miles., Befoie
starting, they accidentally heard of
the order from Y oung for their mas
sacre at a point 100 miles away, but
concluded to arm themselves and
take the risk. They purchased guns
and ammunition from ffpostate Mor
mons, the guns being taken apart
and secreted M'ith their ammunition
in sacks of flour, constituting part of
their supplier. The party of forty-
tM*o M’ere only allou’ed to take one
double-barrelled gun and a revolver.
The teamsters and their escort had
separate camps, and at the .end of
the first day’s inarch, on entering
camp for the night, the teamsters
prepared their guns and M'ere ready
by morning to give one hundred and
tM'enty-one shots M’ithout reloading.
In the morning, the Mormons M ere
astonished to find an arraed party iu
charge, but moved ou in another
day’s march, which took them 50
miles au’ay. On the morning of the
third day, the Mormons announced
their determination to leave thejparty
there, instead of accompanying them
to Castle Rocks, and did so, return
ing to Salt Lake City. Had the
teamsters been unarmed, they would
doubtless have been slaughtered in
obedience of Brigham Young’s order.
They proceeded in safety, reaching
California in June, 1858.
