From the Utah Gospel. Mbs Laura Claire, the beautiful daughter ot Prof. Ignaz Claire, the astronomer, has, it lias b en well known for some time, been engaged to Mr. Alfred Vivian, the young writer, author of “Hell and Heaven Which Will You Have?” “Think and Be , ent, ’ “Prayers tor the Sinners,’’ and oth er beautiful tracts, which have given him quite a reputation; but for some reason or other it has been suspected there was a coolness between them. Still, Miss Claire loved him devotedly, and the preparations tor the wedding were going on. In the meanwhile Mr. Joseph Morton, a young gentleman of this city, had fallen desperately in love with Miss Claire, and refused to be denied admittance to the house, although Professor Claire had sev eral times ordered him out. He, when treated thus, declared mysteriouelv that he knew certain secrets about Miss Claire, and if she did not marry him he would re peat them. He demanded to see her alone. This she finally consented to, and, after a long interview- he departed, stating ho would return the next day. To this she .stailed and said: “Yes, I shall always be glad to see yon.” These words were repeated by one of the servants to Mr. Vivian when he came that evening, and h asked his affianced what they meant Sue said, “Nothing.” After a while he said. ‘ Do you love this Mortou?” Miss Claire laughed and said, “ Don’t be a fool, Alfred.” “Then you refuse to au swery he said. She frowned. “You know 1 love you,” she answered; “and if you ask me any more silly questions, I shall be angry.” Mr. Vivian left shortly after, ap pearing much displeased. The next morning Mr. Morton came.— The servants noticed that Miss Claire was deadly pale, but she received him quite cordially. “You must have some wine,” she said. “Of course,” he replied; “with you.” He took a glass and drank it. Soon after he departed, but before ho had walk ed three blocks he fell to the ground, and was picked up dead! A post-mortem exam ination revealed that he had been poisoned. Miss Claire was arrested. She sent tor Vivian. ‘Do you believe me guilty?” she linked. “I haw nothing to say,” he replied; “I am, and have been lor a month, engaged to be married to a gay lady in this city, and it is not right that I should be seen with you.” Iho young lady uttered a piercing scream. “Oh, Alfred,” she shrieked, “I did it for your sake—l loved you— he could have prevented our marriage. Oh, Alfred, do not desert me—save me—save me!” Mr. Vivian tore himself away, and would have quitted the ceil, when Miss Claire placed herself with her back against the door. “Look I’’ she said; and before ho could prevent it, she had drawn a dag ger. and stubbing herself, foil dying at his t ct. “I forgive you, Hove yon,” she mur mured, and her eyes closed forever.

The sea-otter hunters have th- ir favorite grounds, where the animals are found in greater numbers than it others. These are taken in tarn Irom time to time, in order that every one shall have an equal opportunity to profit by the chase in the favorite resorts of the animals which are so highly prized.

All'the members of one party join in the pursuit, and when an otter is captured, two of the oldest men xaar.ne it, and the hunter whose spear is tonnd nearest the animal’s eye is awarded .he prize; but when tho lucky owner disposes ct his In s.-are, he docs not forget to give some thing of value to each ot his comrades, and the old people and widows of the vil lage are remembered when he returns homo The whalemen put out from tho shore whenever a favorable time offers, while the old men and children watch in tently from the hills for the lance to be burled into some vital part of the animal, when a 1 who r.re able hasten in their boats to assist in towing it ashore.

EGYPT, Americans in the Service -Their Posi tion—The Kite dive-HU WbAilh, Habits and Vitus. Cairo Correspondents of t!.e New York Herald. We are pleasantly situated bere, and are tr ated by our noble Viceroy with great kindness and consideration, and are all busily engaged in our various departments organizing and giving tLem a system. Heretofore all has been confusion. Oar reports have been most favorably received, and doubtless will be adopted. We hope to be, and no doubt will ho, ot service to this country, and in a short time make the army of Egypt the beat little army in the world. I have never seen such material. The soldiers ae the finest looking men I have ever seen, well-behaved and subordinate. They would chaig* the gates of darkness. 1 am pleased to say the American officers are very popular with the soldiers and peo ple. Wo have had quite a hot summer. It we had come out in the tall instead of the spring, it would have been better, as the heat has greatly exhausted us. With regard to the American officers here. General C. I*. Stone is Chief of Stall, General A. W. Reynold-- is Quar termaster, Commissary, and I'.vymaster- General, General Luring is Inspector General of all the infantry. General Sibley is Inspector General of Artillery, Colonel Rhett is Chief of Ordnance. Colonel Keii nou is inchirgc of the coast defenses, Col. F. A. Reynolds is Colonel of light artillery, but at present is acting as Assistant In spector General; Zeniior is Inspector of Cavalry, Gt ncral Mott, who had that posi tion, having been tianstVrred to the staff of the Viceroy. While 1 am writing, a regiment of infantry is just pass ing. Their movements are like clock work. I have visited most of the places ol interest, and am much pleased with id I I have seen. There is always something going on which interests us in the way of fetes and amusements. lam told the winter here is tin most delightful. The Viceroy expends 1 irge sums of money to amuse his people. Wo have one ot the finest opera houses in the world. The Viceroy’ pays all < xperises, and has the best performers in Europe engaged. Ho will have none but the best and the prettiest women as performers. His balls are mag nificent. We are all excited just now on the war question in Europe. Tho Viceroy in a Prince ot gicat ability, and foresaw the trouble now existing in Europe. He had many French officers in his service, hut ho knew that when the Emperor wanted his subjects they would be demanded and would have to go. Such has been the case, and the I'leuch are now leaving Egypt. The Viceroy has employed American officers of distinction, on whom he can rely. Of cou.se, they are acting independently of the United States, though in their contract they are not required or expected to . erve in any way against tho United States. The kindness of the Vice roy and his ministers is very marked his American pets, while they, in turn,are exerting every nerve to de serve Lis good opinion. All the court have returned to Ca ro for the winter, which is expected to bo very gay and delightful. The Viceroy Is the richest Prince on this side of the water, and is more liberal than Princes generally are. He is beloved by his people, and rides out like a private gentleman, without tear. A.s he passes every one stops and salutes him, which he returns like an old soldier. Ho is about 45 years old, handsome, and speaks sev eral languages. He has given his Ameri cans several dinners, and is anxious they should bring out their families this fall. The Viceroy reads tho American news papers. He is one of tho most progressive men of the age. Peat. From tho Philadelphia Ledger. The day is not very distant when the manufacture ot p<jat will almost, if not in deed quite, rival the coal mining interests of the coumry. All the tests which have been made of peat confirm its great use fulness, and wherever pioperiy made, it must replace the wood, soon to be too scarce to burn, where people do not like coal dust and smoke. The deposits of peat seem to be as general and as exten sive as those of coal in the land, and much may be expected from them. A company called tho “Central” has begun to make peat in Connecticut, three miles north of Meriden, on the H rtford and New Haven Hail road. and the railroad, which has been paying nine dollars a ton for coal, contracts to take all the peat the works can make, paying sf G per ton, for a fuel which trial proves will do service ton for ton with coal. The Grand Trunk Railroad of Canada has long used peat in preference to coal, as cheaper, and as free from smoke and cinders. The Hartford and New Haven Road tested it thoroughly in their shops, tounderics, and locomotives, before adopting it. August 20, their engine Dragon made the run ot the road, with eighteen loaded freight cars in twenty minutes less than schedule time. The Pr sident of the Central Company is Edwin J. Halbert, a raining engineer, long known iu the Lake Superior copper re gions, and tho inventor of its peculiar ma chinery is Napoleon Aubin, Swiss, and editor ol Le Pays, a leading liberal paper of Montreal K ing William's Officers. From the Boston Journal. A banker of Berlin, who is connected with one of tho leading houses m New York, is now in this city. Ti a reeled an incident or two ol the King of Prussia his officers which may be interesting just now. He says that since tho battle ol Sadowa every officer has been kept under strict military rule, as if in camp. The highest officers live in plain quarters, and some of them occupy rooms m the third and fourth stones of the plainest buildings in Berlin. All extravagance and luxury were forbidden; no one allowed to run iu debt; every one required to live on his sal ary, which is quite limited, and all are under the eje of the King, ns if in camp. King William himself sets an example. The palace is occupied by officers ol state for the transaction ot business. The King’s quarters arc plain, humble, una dorned, and would hardly suit the ambi tion and pride o‘ a clerk iu Wall street. Moltkc’s habits and style of living are more simple than those of any officer iu the army. Like a professor in a college, he tramps his daily round of duty, visiting every department of tho army, and in structing the chief officers personally, and, through these everv private in the army is made perfect iu drill and discipline. By this Spartan mode of life tho entire army is kept iu a perfect state ot discipline, on a perpetual war footing, and ready to march at a moment's notice.

On the 15th of December, 1866, the re mains of Cardinal Richelieu were to be re interred with solemn ceremonies at the Church of the Sarbonne, in Paris. Some occasion occurred for opening the coffin, when jt Was lound that the head was miss ing. The fact was noised abroad; when, suddenly the missing head turned up at Biarritz, in the possession of one M. Annez an ex-deputy, who presented it to the Em peror-, enclosed in an elegant box covered and lined with velvet. This very head which once so proudly wore a cardinal’s scarlet hat, and which enclosed the won derful brain which had ruled both the king and the Regent of France, tyrannized over the queen, banished the queen mother, and which instigated a long series ol bloody wars and so ruthlessly persecuted the Protestants of France the very head rolled aside, unheeded, when in 17 ( J3 the the Jacobins desecrated the aristocratic tombs of (he church of the Sarbouue. But the quiek eye of a tradesman, who was upon the outskirts of the crowd, at 1 ;st spied it out in the corner into which it had rolled. Ho took it up. and by certain signs recognizing it—which was not diffi cult in view of the nalming process to which it had been subjected —be split it in two parts, the face being all thxt he cared for, and kept it as a curiosity for many yocrs, when he either sold or presented it to Armez. And 224 years after Richelieu’s death, the face was found to bo something of the color of Acazou wood. The point of the rn.se had been slightly flattened by pressure, < n d the half-open mouth showed two rows ol well-preserved and white teeth. The moustache and imperial were scanty but the historicprrffilei was m almost per fect preservation. The Eav V v, lr had tin-, remarkable head, or rather this remarka ble half bead, aput to keep company with the trunk, to which it rightfully belonged, and the remains were re-interred with great splendor. FniK an a Medicine. f lhe worst case of dyspepsia cau bo cured without the least particle ot medi cine, simply by eating nothing in which lard is an ingredient, using butter sparing ly, eating bread made ol unbolted Hour, and making free use of fruits, especially apples. In fact, most people would be much better off if they ate meat not more than once or twice a week, and used fruit and vegetables instead. Pork and lard are groat promoters of dyspepsia, and fevers and billions diseases are fed by keeping .up bodily heat of mid-winter through June and July, August and September, but never changing our diet from the heavy meats of January. An eminent French physician says that the decrease of dyspepsia and bilious affections in Puns is owing to tho increased consumption of apples; a fruit, ho main tains, which is an admirable preventive and tonic, as well as a very nourishing and easily digested article of food. The Pari ians devour one hundred millions of them every winter, and we do not doubt that these statements are perfectly correct. In fact, instances have come under our obser vation where fresh fruit had an immediate effect in checking bilious tendencies in in dividuals, and wo have heard of whole dis tricts where bilious diseases become preva lent upon the failure of tho fruit crop. Fruit growers may, therefore, count upon a constantly increasing demand for tho products of their orchards and gardens, as tho health-giving properties of fruit be come known. Kansas City has a vocal dog, and this is way he is described by a local reporter: “ll would be utterly impossible to express in words the force, the depth and variety of this canine vocalism. It expresses ail the modulation and modifications of human distress.

The girls must go to the French theatre, and he stared at by French debauchees, who laugh at them while they pretend they un derstand what, thank Heaven, they can not. Then we are to have series of French novels, caiefully translated, and puffed and praised even by the religions press, written by the corps of French female re formers, which will show them exactly how the naughty French women manage their cards; so {hat, by and by, we shall have the latest phase of eclecticism—the union of American and French manners.

This story of a spunky widow comes from a local journal: Mrs. Arnold is a widow in Malone, N.Y., who tills her farm with her own hands, w hose barn was accidentally burned, a; and who proposed to have anew one built. In consequence of the advice ol a friend, she vaiied from the usual custom. She sup plied coffee, tea, and good eatables to the who were to raise the frame—but no wuisKjr ( .or.wqufiico of which was that the men refused to go on r th the ‘ raising.” The circumstance was men tioned in three of the local churches on Sunday. Fifty men, women and children visited the widow on Monday; ministers and farmers became carpenters for the oc casion. Within a few hours the barn was complete, double-hoarded all around, and roofed in. A funny accident happened at a large wedding in a neighboring city Home time ago. The church wan crowded, and the brilliant bridal party had just begun to move up the aisle when suddenly every light in the building went out. The gas could not be lighted again, and the wed ding had to be performed by the light ot a solitary kerosene lamp placed on the lec tern. The illumination was resumed for tunately before the party left the church, so that the bride and her attendant maid ens were enabled to display th ir toilettes once down the aisle, and were thus saved from utter desperation. Drunkenness in Russia.—“A curious police regulation for the punishment of intoxication exists in Russia. Persons found drunk and incapable in the public thoroughfares are taken into custody and condemned to work tor a day at sweeping the streets; consequently, well-dressed of fenders are sometimes seen performing their task, broom in hand.” It is added to the above information that “This lesson s intended for individuals who have not ost all sense of shame.” It is not a hint or street-cleaning contractors to protit by ? —The New French coat of arms has made its appearance.

German Girls and the French Prisoners. Berlin Gorresponden o Boston Advertise r. It is worthy of remark that no distinc tion cun be observed betweeb the treat ment received by the wounded Germans and the wounded Frenchmen. Indeed, there has been considerable complaint that prisoners received the most sympathy. A recent editorial in the Madgeburg Dische ZeituQg, one of the most “respectable dailies” in Germany, which for the secrets it exposes, and tor the delicate ironj' ■with which it reproves some of the young Ger man ladies lor the excessive pity they have shown towards the gallant prisoners, is decidely racy, it tells the story of a young ■ lady at the railway station in X., who car ried six smoking cups ot coffee to a car containing only prisoners. The German guard who had helped capture them begg ed a cup for himself, saying that he iiad tasted nothing warm since he left Saarbrncken. But she replied that it was ordered only for the prisoners. Pre tending to open the car door for her, he knocked the waiter from her hand and dashed the six cups of coffee upon the pavement. The editor, evidently rejoic ing over this act of the guard, discusses the questions whether these young ladies may not be permitted to gratify their “false sentimentality,” the offspring of uovel-readmg, and if they are to have ho opportunity to display their little smatter ing ot French, which they have acquired with so much difficulty, and at the ex pense of so much hard-earned mom y. In answer to these questions the young ladies are counselled to attend, tirst, to the wounded, friend and foo alike; secondly, to the noble victorious Germans, who have put their own lives iu jeopardy in defense of the fatherland; thirdly, to the French prisoners not wounded; and, fourthly, il anything should be left, and m rhaps it would be unjust to say that ihe writer deem* it unimportant whether anything wav: !eli or not. “to the beastly i'urcos.” A ifAaei v T-Noyou'h ot Louisville was re cently very 0,. ih ••.-■old” by the matron of the Kentucky State Prison, in whose daughter he seemed to evince a very strong interest while travelling in a railroad car.

SouiPi medical men Insist that it is undignified to advertise a remedy, however valuable it may be. Queer reasoning this. It is like saying that an article which the world nae Is should be hid In a o.jrut r - that benefits and blessings may be (o wide ly diffused—that the means of protecting and restor ing health should be a close monopoly, and n> t accessible to all. The argument is bad. It is worse than that; it is inhuman. Suppose Hostet ler's Stomach Hitters—an absolute specific ior dys pepsia, biliousness and nervous debility ~ had never been known beyond the repertoire of (he faculty, what would have been the consequence ? Instead of curing and invigorating millions, the good effects of the preparation would have been confined to a comparative few. There is the highest authority for saying that light should not be hid uuder a bushel; that whatever is '•xcelleut should be placed as a city on a hill, whore all men can take cogni zance of it. It is upon this principle that the Hitters have been advertised and continue to be advertised iu every newspaper of any prominence iu the western hemisphere, and that the spon taneous testimonials in its favor have been trans lated into alt written languages. Thousands eui.y perfect health to-day who would be languishlngon beds of sickness if the newspapers had uot spread t’lf truth wi'h regard tn this unequalled intngnrant awl c reed're far and wide.
