Even in tho fiercest uproar of

Birds have wonderful appetites.
It hss been calculated that a red*
breast requires dki^y an amount of
food qqual to an earthworm four
teen feet long. Assuming a saus
age nine inches in circumference to
be a fair equivalent for man, of
the earthworm for the bird, Pro
fessor Woods finds that a man
would bare to consume slxty-sevsn
feet of such sausage in every twen
ty .four hours, m order to eit aa
much, in proportion to his bulk, as
the .red-breast Professor Woods
offers Ibis as an illustration of the
work which U done by insect eating
birds.
An exchange says it is not un
likely that the custom of burning
the dead will become universal in
all civilised-countries. The trouble
now Is that the custom of burning
the living is becoming altogether
too prevalent. The railroad cars,
the steamboats and the hoUla are
doing ten times se- much of the
incineration business at the creme*
tones.

CHAPTER VI.
Bailed in the Lake,
The Danite leader now beckoned
our party to move on, bidding us
leave the heaviest log-obaiu be
hind. The horsemen merely glano
ed at each other. They knew
what was to be done, and swung
into the saddle as one man. No
Cromwell ever had troopers obedi
ent as were these ignorant and
desperate followers of the false
religion of America.
If you who have this question to
settle, soonor or later, will only
atop to consider a moment, you
will observe that all such mon
atrocities that poor human nature
has brought forth on the earth
have two elemeuts for their estab-
lishmegf: one, tho father of them,
a learnod mau, a superficially learn
ed man, a 11 orank ;” aud the other
element, a densely ignorant mass
of mankiud to sow his doctrines
among, to mature and muiutain
them when they take root. And
those two elements are never want
ing in recruits. They never will
be w hile ignorance is so general
upon tho earth. Of courso you
cannot destroy the leaders, the
“ cranks,” men crazy over their
book* and about religion. But
you can utterly destroy thoir fol
lowing. Plough up tho field, eul-
tivatc it, and tho tares will peril'll
in timo. This is the remedy. Cul
tivation, intelligence, education,
association with others, havo nl
roady done much, broken off the
hard corners of this rock iu the
But let ignorance prevail there oh
it did thirty years ago, aud you
will set renewed all the ferocity,
cruelty, and crime iu the name of
the ns# religieo which we know
then.
D*stroy these people by war!
No, you cannot destroy them, by
war, even though you pour in
■uilion of men with guns and all
the treasure of this universe. You-
might kill them every one and con
fiscate their homes. And yet in
Europe—anywhere,. everywhere
where there is ignorance to follow
and fascination to lead—you might
seo a EZormon Church.
Our train moved on. The horse
men galloped alongside for a Iittlo
way aft* r having had romo- silent
orders from their giant anil iron-
hearted leader. Then they rode
back. Then they galloped up the
bill alongside again, and' so re*'
mained until we bad reached the
lop of the steep hill, Here we
were ordered to stop and wait, till
we were permitted sgain to move
No one i%d spoken to the girl
to say good-by. Hope likd been
kindled In her heart. Bha bad
even taken a step forward to fall
in with the moving train and fol
low us as we started. A heavy
band fell on her ihsulder. She
lifted hor eyes to tho missionary V*
let them fall, and slopped ss still
ss the desd.
When we turned about in the
full white moonlight on the bill,
and looked after the horsemen
while they dashed down the hill in
a cloud of dust, tfe could seo but
dimly. But a man who professed
to see clearly, said the giant was
leading the girl down toward bis
own camp, and the ugly coffin hid
ing away there in the shadows.
One of the horsemen rodo down
to the mouth of the little stream
where it fell into tho lake, and
drew a boat that was bidden there
up into a little cove formed by the
waters of tho brook. We could
not see the girl 1 now. What was
being done?
As said before, we could see but
indisttortlfnow. By and by some
one saw the monstrous giant once
more poshing his long black box
before him down toward the lake,*
and pointed out the dark object to
others*. The bortemen rode some
dfotam* leisurely behind, with
their bats in their bonds. The girl
•till could not be seed.
At length a dreadful atopictoft
creptovW a **jbofri fit*'
one of the women. She wrung her
hands* and cried hysterically that
the girl was in the coffin and they
were going to bury her in the lake.
The woman wfce silenced with
effort,' and all stood still as death,
waiting, waiting The moon seem
ed only a little way above ns, only
a little higher on the hill, and ob,
eo pale and pitiful and sorrowing
she seemed 1 The far white moun*
tains of snow shone like silver in
this whitest and brightest of silver
moons this side of Arabia.
Why were wo compelled to stand
hero and see all this ? Surely they
meant to muider this girl and make
us witness it, in order to spread
terror and fear of their power to
“judge** fcnd to execute judgment
through the land. Here was a
murder to which the murderers
demanded witnesses and compelled
the presence of witnesses. But
still, as I said before, wo could see
but dimly. The moon was sinking
fast now. How slow and delibe
rate they were I The barrow evi
dently had a heavier load than
over before. The heavy chain and
tho chained girl ? ! It moved heav
ily, slowly,‘through the great white
girdle of gleaming salt; slowly and
sadly, like a funeral march.
At last it touched the ed go of
the dark waters. All was still, as
silent as death. It seemed that
somo one of these men—-two of
them, three of them, all of them-
must disobey thi* giant and moi
ster, kill him if necessary, and save
this beautiful girl. Even if they
had uo sense of chivalry or virtue
or valor in them to help the help-
less, it did set m ss if somo one,
any one, all, might do almost any
thing to protect her, save her.
Two men rodo up, dismounted,
held their horses by the long teth
ers as they stood there fretful and
knoe-deep in tho gleaming girdle
of salt, and so hastily lifted the
long black coffin into tho boat.
The giant solemnly and silently
took his place at the oar and bo-
gnu to move slowly aud certainly
toward the dark and dcsolato rock
in Ibe deeps ot tho lake.
The horsemen remounted, drew
back, ball iu hand, and so vat
with the others looking out at the
colossal and silent boatman with
his singular freight. Was he row
ing to reach thi* rock where tbs
corpse bad been seen loadod down
in the water with chains ? Would
he not go on, on, on, anywhere,
and csoape these brutal and hliud
follower*, who believed him
saint engaged in maintaining tho
Church of Jeans Clhrint?
But these men did not doubt
for a moment. They safe their
horses in a- crosent about the hoad
of tho lake and looked on, tran
quil, silent, revurential, wailing
with certainly the signal of death.
Never fall there suob- a silence,
Never was thero such a murder as
this* For away above tho gleam
ing towers of snow the stars stood
trembling. The moon began to
hasten away and slide swiftly down
Id the wost behind the bill on
which we stood, as if terrified) and
refining: to be » witness.
The man saw thafe tho moon was
going away, and be dipped his osr*
with rapid and heavy stroke. The
water shone, sparkled, flaahod in
the moon. The oars dug into the
heavy water as it dipping into a
sea of molten silver.
The boat struck tho rock t You
oonld hear it grate and grind, all
was so still.
The giant stood np In thr boat
a second, then with his broad right
hand slowly drew bacWtbe cover
ing and looked down as if into s
face iu the coffin. He was so tail,
his farm seemed*like a tree. He
cast a black and frightful shadow
far out over the sea of silver in the
fading moonlight. The mounted
Danites loomed up in tho mirage
larger than heroic statues. At
last the colossal figure in tbd- boat
leaned over, caught up something
long and heavy from the coffin,
stood np tall and terrible with it
poised in the air, high aboVo his
head in bis twomighty hands. He
poised it there a moment, dallied
witfit, heaved his great heavy
shoulders, arched Kfa- long strong
back, surged to and fro In the Wh
ing silvery moonlight, and ttien
with vehement force threat fo*
ward into ilia depths of the dark
water with all the tremendodfe
power that was in him.
The waters dashed np,' gleamed'
liktf a sunriAe^doeed over,'and' dll
was ttill again iu the heart of the
great dark waters of death.
A hand was lifted to us from the
nearest horseman, and wo passed
on over the bill right in the face
of the great round moon now set
tling down to rest in the far off
Sierras, and I never saw the place
again for twenty years or more.
And when I did return I came
from London to write up the trial
of(Brigham Young, who was then
being tried for his life for com
plicity in murders like this.
By good fortune I found an old
friend of mino was then Governor
of the Territory. We soarched
this spot for the skeletons; but, as
before observed, the lake had so
filled that, while we fouud the
buried rock and little island, we
found nothing more.
I told a Mormon elder this
story, and ho earnestly assured me
that all we had seen of the end
was (he mirage—a delusion; that
tho missionary did not drown the
girl, but bad taken this course to
save hsr from the Lanites; that ho
bad left the girl iu the willows, to
fall in with tho next train that
came by, while ho had thrown only
his bag of bread or something of
that sort with tho chain about it
into the black waters of tho great
lake. Let us hopo so at least.
A Simplo Remedy,
There is no remedy of such gen-
oral implication, and noue so oasi
ly attainable, as water; and yet
nine persons in ten will pns9 by it
ia an emergoncy to seek for some
thing of far less efficiency.
There are but few cases of ill
ness where water should not occu
py the highest place as a remedial
agent.
A strip of ffanuel or a napkin
folded leuglhwiso, and dipped in
bot water and wrung out, and tbeu
applied around the neck of a child
that hae croup, will usually briug
relief in 10 mfuuie*.
A towel folded several times,
and dipped iu hot water and quick
ly wrung and applied over the
seat of the pain iu toothache or
ueuralgia, will generally afford
prompt relief. This treatment in
colic works aim out like msgio. 1
have seen cases that have resisted
other irsrftmmQt for hours yield to
this in 10 minutes. There is ooth<
ing that will so promptly cut short
acougestiou of the lungs, sore
throat, or rheumatism, as bot wn
tsr when applied promptly and
thoroughly.
Pieces of cotton haMiag dipped
iu hot water, aud applied to old
sores or new, outs, bnrfecs or
sprains, is the treatment now gen
erally adopted in hospitals. I
have seen a sprained ankle cured
in an hour by showering H with
bot water, poured from a height of
throe feet.
Tepid water acta promptly an an
emetio and hot water taksn freely
half an hour before bed time is
the best of cathartics in casra of
constipation, while ife has » moat
soothiog effect on the stomach and
bowels. This treatment continued
for a few months, with proper at
tention to the diet, will cure any
curable case of dyspepsia.
Headache almost always yields
to the simultaneous application of
hot water to the feet and to the
baek of the neckv
It it aa excellent plan to record
facta like these in a note book,
which should be alwejs at hand
when wanted. In the anxiety
caused by accidents or sudden Ill
ness in* tho family r ono became*
confused aud la not afit to rtafetn-
i>«r quickly what should be done;
hence there may be prolonged add
unnecessary suffering before proper
remedies are applied.

explorer, Is quoted as raying that
camels will cross a desert with a
load of 400 pounds at the rate of
thirty mile* a day, in the burning
heal' of Manner, and require water

the cooler months the animal will

water, and if grasin^on green foil*

enlist, has shown that a flash of
lightning lasts lees thaa a millionth
Jsrtof a '
Served, hit Just.
The following is an extract from
editorial in the Cincinnati Com*
inertial Gazette on the late riots
in that city. It is crushing, with
ering, but severely just.
“The time has come for taking
an account for salvago for three
days 1 destruction and terror. First,
we haro saved onr jailful of mur
derers. We have killed forty-five
innocent men and wounded and
maimed 145 more, all to savo one
jailful of murderers. We havo burn
ed our new court house, with the
records of three quarters of a cen
tury, creating confusion whioh a
whole generation will not suffice
to settle. But what is that by the
side of a jailful of murderers sav*
ed from popular excitement T We
have converted a just, popular
impulse against the prostration of
law beforo crime into u war be
tween an unorganized people, in**
censed to acts of blind vengeance
against tho authorities who killed
them to protect tho murderers.
We havo planted in the people's
minds a cause of innocent blood
crying from tho ground; bnt we
have saved our jailtul of murder
ers. We have lost all, but Hot our
jailful of murderers, not having
saved even our honor. The relgu
of law and order is restored in Cin
cinnati—that law and order which
makes murder the safest trade, and
which has made impotent the ad
ministration of low againct crimes
cf atrocity. NVo have vindicated
all practical forms and rules, and
trap* and tricks which make the
trial of a murderer a farce, and
degrade the judiciary to tho sole
end of having known aud proved
murderers saved from couviction,
and of promoting the trade of
criminal lawyers. Is any citizen
of Cincinnati content with this sal
vage except? the jailful of murder
and tho criminal class, and the
trado of the criminal lawyers ? Is
there a decent citizen who feels
that these slain citizens should be
infamously buried as malefactors,
while the jailful of murderers are
to bo held innocent until after an
exhaustion of all means to put wit'
nesses out of tho way, nod to fix
juries, and of every trick of law,
they shall have been convicted ?
Bowever unfortunate their action
the mass of mon that moved from
the meeting at Musio hall to the
jail and began attack upon it wero
moved by an hnpulse of justice
and law against tho crime before
which tho law had become impo<
tent. Unthinking persons speak
of such popular impulso as a crime,
forgetting that tho right to pro%
tect itself against crime is a right
of society and is eonfetrsd by it
on its agents, and that' rociety does
not lose its right because its agents
have become impotent. The
movement was a terrible mistake,
because it was made By a sudden
impulse without organization or
plau or material. Let the judg
ment of the public keep a just dis
crimination between the first im
pulse of the people and*th*" sub
sequent acts of Blidfl vengeance of
a crowd maddened by bloodshed.
This affair Is wholly different from
any sneb conflict betwefcn rioters
and authorities in this country, aad
must not be judged by any of
them. It was not of workmen
•gainst workmen and nihilist the
property of corporation which
wero trying to get along without
them, nor was it like the riots
against the draft. Those, were
riots against law, justice, pnblie
sentiment and property. Bnt this
began m an uprisiog of the people
on the lido of justice and law aud
order where the administration of
the law bad failed tO serve the pnb
lie safety.
