In 1879 iiadinthe showyard an Ayrshire cow milk produced 5 1-2 per cent of pure ff fat, while that of a Dutch cow gave itile as little as 2 1-2 per cent.

Though not in Log- an on this eventful ocoasion. I have obtained some important facts from Saints who were. To begin with the editors ot L3gan's own newspapers, the Utah Journal worked like beavers en the day preceding the dedication collecting statistics of the temple, the num- ber of donors and their names, the cost of ths edifice, eta. These enterprising breth- ren had their type set up, and were atwut to prini*-, when orders came from the prophet John Taylor that die reanU of their lleanA labor was to be "knocked fatto pie I" Tell the world that Ltgan temp'.e cost $500.000 1 Pat the Doited Ssates Government In poss- ession of such important information, when the law limit) every church to $50,000 worth of p-operty in any given looality I It wouldn't do. So the foued journalists labor- ed all night to fill the aching void, and the Latterday saints again proved their astute DOSS. On the night braore the dedication John Taylor received a revelation direct from Ood that he acceptsd the temple, the ground and sacrifice of the saints. AU was pro- nounced '-good," as at the creation of the world, and ibe uf xt morning it took the "Almighty's mouthpiece" thirty minutes to bless every stone, oh^, window, door, pane of glass, etc, pertaing to the holy edmoe. This prayer was "so complete and perfect," declares a good aaint, a^ to "seem to com- prise everything en earth and in Heaven pertaining to the offering of the temple." There's no doubting this statement. I doubt whether a bolt or a bar was forgotten. In leading the prayer I wondtr what a deity of supreme intcUigenoe thought of this mass of verbiage, provided He thought of it at alL Only Mormon patience oould endure such a Niagara of words.

An arrest quickly fol- lowed and the whole oooununity wen much agitated over the tragedy, as 'old nun Bob- inson' (my father) was respectably cotinect- ed. At first I concluded to al»ndon my. husband and leave him to his fate. But his constant pleading caused me to nlcnt, and I called to see him at the jail where be was incarcerated awaiting his triaL After seve ral ineffectual attempts in procuring bail I was at laat succesaf ul in inducing Capt.

I cemented to share with him the hardships and perili of such a course, knowing that in doing so I would incur the hatnd of sll my former friends. Bat, woman like, I clung to him, for which I am now repentant. Indian Ter- ritory was the firrt platoe in which we con- cluded to stop, as we felt secun from fur- ther pursuit, and in that wild region my child was bom. My husband becoming dis- satisfied with the ]^»ce, at last concluded to start for Cincinnati, where we arrived a short time since. The relatives and friends of my husband live here, and he is protected in his eztnme cruelty towards me. I know be will kOl or take my innocent babe to his mother's home, and they will send it away." Tne poor woman, after she had concluded the tale of the wrong she bed suffered under such trying and peculiar oironmstanceo, started out.of the station in quest of her Bt(den child.

Barlin was treated to another pageant n- centty in the shape of a gra id historical pr oeesion, organized' by the Guild of Suoe- maken, in celebntion of the sexcentenary of its existence. Toe prooession, whioh at- tracted enormous numbers of spectators, was viewed from the balcony of the palaoa by the emperor and the cro^n prince, and also^ Prinoe Bistnarjk. as it pissed along the Wilhelm strasae. One of the historioal groups delineated Hans Sichs and his sur- roundings, while another showed the de- velopment of the shoemaking art.

A sub-lieutenan took'/ick leave, and spent his leisunin the step^^preltminary to getting married. The co'onel heard of the indiscretion, and peremptorily telegraph- ed. "Jo^n at onoe." Witn the fatal order in his hand, the yonth proceeded to say fare* well to his betrothed. But tltf ,;iady was mon intelligent in military maimers. "I am glad that the colonel approves the mateli," she said; "but why is he in such a hurry?' Toe snb-Ueatenant was still tx literal for tne fair cn9, who had former to explain that to "join at once" meant "marry immediate- ly." The result was that in forty eight honn the colonel racaived the following re- ply, per telegnph: "Yourorden are obey, ed. We'were married at once." M, Louis Maiohe, a well-known French engiaeer, has made a diicovery of a hardly less startling character than tbat of a maans |o set the Sdiae on fin.

Un- rtnuately, it would take just double that amoimt to exttaot it, and it is. mon than probable tba; the French proverb about the game and the bandle will be equidly ap- olicable to the pebble i at the bottom of the Seine. A Waikiag Stick That Has TrareUed. Co\ William ESrneston, a bronzad veteran of the British India eervice, who passed thvpagh Poiladalphia a few days ago, car* riad a cane that is a momento of gnat events. It is mnde of nine longitadinal strips of wood the head is a highly-polished bit of bone from- tha river' Arift depoaiita in Devonshire, B^i^d, and /the fcrole is a fragment of a gun used' the battle of Mdegnaaio. One aroodenaitrip is from die Mount of Olives, at Jerufeum, and of the other eight one is frona.Jiailson's ship, the Victory, or from tha Ji^wicau sloop-of • war Cumberland, and cm from the Ala* baooa, out be'on she leftSitird's ship-yard one from the BeUerophne^ Napoleon's pri- son ship, one from war^ole de Paris, Ad- miral de Graaae'a flsg^i^' in our 'revolu* tionary avar one from •ha" floor of the black hole at Calcutta one lirom the grove sur* rounding Taj Mabad. and the last from the wreck of the Royal Goorte.
