stated that the change in the super-
intendoncy of the bureau of engraving
and printing under which Childu , of
Ohio , will succeed Col. Irish , of No-
braeka , will occur on October 1st. It
now appeared that an error crept into
the wording on the back of the new
three per cent , refunding bonda which
was not discovered until nearly the
whole lot was worked off on ono aide.
This error was in relation to the per
son before whom the transfer shall bo
made , and will necessitate the throw
ing away of the work on the bonds
that has been done in tha way of :
printing , &o. , and the substitution of
the corrected plate. Of course , the
other engravings and dies are not in
terfered with by this miatako. Some
slight delay nnd an expenditure of
about $30,000 are the principal consequences
quences arising from it.

THE STAR UOUTE TRIAL.
Mr. McSweonoy criticized the evidence -
donco for the prosecution in a sarcastic
manner , and concluded his argument
as follows : "And now ho launched
the little bark of his client , n , man
with n noble soul , the tongue of truth ,
the hand of charity. At thn age of
nineteen ho had gone ragged and
barefooted into the rank a of liis coun
try's defenders , and at twenty-one
had been breveted for bravery on the
field. Did the jury think that man ,
wounded from head to foot in
the aorvico of country , was a thief
who would rob the treasury of
that country whoso foundation hohad
helped to comcntwith his blood ? Ho
had risen up until ho provoked enmity ,
until envy and jealousy made their
&tab at him. Dorsoy had found the
lines of the poet to bo true :
"lie who iiBceni'tt ' to mountain tops
filial 1 find
The loftiest tminimt crowned with fco and
mow ,
And who surp.vtM ntul mibdiics niau-
hind
Must look down upon tbo hate of thoao
below. "
Court adjourned until to-morrow ,
when Mr. Merrick will begin argu
ment for the prosecution.

CHEMNITZ dOODU.
J. J. Flynn , United States consul
it Chemnitz , notes that the goods
purchased in that great manufacturing

which would indicate to the purohaaor
Lheir pluco of manufacture , All the
rodit goes to ci'iea and towns which
Imvo nothing to do with the manu

the list of Chemnitz made goods are
included hosiery Bold in the United
States for French , English and Irish ,
French kid gloves , Hamburg odginua
nid insertiona , Nottingham lace cur-

lirussels and Axminstor carpets , Paris
irtificial flowers and other French

md French under clothing , Irish pop-
ins in all colors and shades , some
with the "Harp of Erin" brand upon
liom , Iriah linona , French mofllora ,
funis muslins , and Swiss embroidery
md Dutch toys , Mr. Flynn does not
enow why it Is that Chemnitz manu-
'acturora do not claim the credit
ehioh belongs to them , but they

Fred Kline , a well-to-do farmer ,
WIOHO | estate in nituuted within n mile
f Footer's Crossing , Ohio , has come
o grief to a cunoidorublo extent.
His confidence in bunks was badly
huken some years ugo , owing to the
not that ho was a Iit-avy loser in a
Cincinnati concern that went dim-
nering , and Fred concluded right
liero and then that ho should never
isk another dollar in ona of them ,
> ut concluded thereafter to do his own
n his own way.
About three weeks ago ho placed
800 in gold and bills , also deeds and
ther valuable papers in a tin box
liat he had made to order. After so-
uroly sealing and locking the box ho
laced it in a barrel and put the latter
n a shed clone to his residence ,
OH top of the barrel ho placed a
wooden box , partially filled with straw ,
n which lie put a dozen eggs and an >
Id setting hen , In this he had two
bjects , one of which was to cast off
uspicion that there was anything of
aluo underneath , and another was
lial in case the old hen was disturbed
A
ho would raise a racket.
Fred visited the box every morning
bout 5 o'clock and took a poop to see
liat all was right Saturday morning
ast on making his usual rounds , he
ound the old hen unusually cross ,
wing to the fact that eho had boon
oughly handled during the night ,
nd on a closer inspection discovered
tat the tin box containing his valua-
les hud disappeared.
Fred refuses all .overtures made by
iis friends to bo comforted. About
ireo years ago ho lost a fine gold
watch and $100 in a similar myste-
ous way. No clew to the thief.

SALT LAKK , August 23. Uon. G.A , ,
Tucker , an English gentleman from
Now South Wales , with letters of in
troduction to the governors of states
and territories asking permission to
visit insane asylums nnd jails , pub
lishes a letter in The Tribune giving a
description of his visit to Utah insane
asylum , located three miles east of
Salt Lake City , yesterday , accom
panied by United States MarshalIro-
land and Mr. No.il , of Louisville , Ky. ,
father-in-law of Qov. Murray. Mr.
Tucker visited this asylum , which is
under the charge of Dr. Seymour B.
Young , nophowof Brigham \ oung , and
three Mormon commissioners. Mr.
Tucker Buys ho found 21 patients , ! )
females and 12 males , in the most
liilthy condition imaginable. Some
were in iron cages outside iif the main
building , while others were in irons
bound hand and foot. Of those pa
tients 2 were perfectly sane , and have
no idea why they are cnniied. One of
these aano persons is a man by the
name of Sherman , who has been con-
ltn ; d for 10 years. lie was robbed of
liis wife by a Mormon pol > gamiota
and has been confined in this place
over nlnee. Ho appears to bo
a gentleman who lias scon bot-
.er days and is from thr.
cast. ThiK man is in one of thi >
cages in the yard , which ho has fixed
ip in a tasty ni.iunur , with crude too .a
if his own make. A daughter of
lolm Taylor wan formerly confined in
this asylum , but she has been ro-
novod to a private house in the city.
Her insanity was caused by her father
endeavoring to force her into poly
gamy. The inmates of the institution
ire puniuhed with n olub and strap
the olub is used for men , the strap for
women. Mr. Tucker closed by saying ,
"I have during the last four m-mcns
visited four asylums in Now South
Wales , three in Victoria , i wo in Ad
elaide , two in Tasmania , three in
New Xtiuland , ono in Honolulu , three
n California , one in Nevada , and the
ono in Utah , and no inin&tanco'havo I
scon sights so horrible as those of to
day. "

Economy In Dairy Cowa.
No person thinks of running two
nachinea'to do the work of one , nero
o occupy valuable space with two ob-
ects whim a single one will answer.
As with material so with cows for
dairy purposes , and why farmers in
sist by practice on keeping two CIWB
o give the milk of one is a matter
hut demands thought. Two cows in
stead of one require a double amount
if food , to say nothing of the care
and attention needed in their manago-
nent , and hence all the work , devoted
o them above that actually necessary
or the production of a given quantity
of milk , butter or choose is an extrav-
gance and waste. Ono of the princi-
ul causes of this lack of foresight in
airy matters is carelessness in brood-
ng. It may bo expensive matter
on the part of dairymen to change
heir stock from an inferior to a bet-
er kind , but this need note
o done suddenly unless ,
ho means guarantee it.
iy a selection of first-class bulls from
uur principal butter and milking
trains much benefit can bo gained in
few seasons. If butter is the prin-
ipal object in view , the use of a Jpr-
ey or Guernsey bull will not only in
crease the yield and quantity of but-
er , but , owing to the rapidity with
which these broods mature , the whole
lord can bo completely changed in
wo years. A second cross results in
an increased benefit. The sum ox-
) ondoi for u bull need not necessarily
jo considered as an outlay , for the
> ull will possess a monetary value out-
ide of his usefulness for stock pur-
losrs. As this principle ia applicable
o all dairies , so may the breeders for
nilking qualities resort to bulls of
ho Holstein and Ayrshire breeds for
mprovemont , and our beef can bo
nado much better by the use of the
Shorthorns and. Uolstoms ,
