The. Mentions ami their Temple.
A Salt Lake correspondent of
the l'rovidencc Journal gives the
following account of a personal
peep at Marmonism and a visit
to the Temple:
Your readers will doubtless be
interested in a brief account of the
Mormon services in the tabernacle
in Halt Lake City, which I attend
ed to-day, as showing the temper
of mind ot tho Latter Day Saints,
with reference to eff orts now being
made to enforce the Edmunds law
against polygamy.
I reached this city from Ogden
about 11 o'clock. The general ap
pcaracc of the city was a little dis
appointing. The mountains, with
here and there patches of snow,
arc grand, the sky bright, the
streets are wide, the trees are pret
ty, and some of the door yards are
beautiful. Hut the streets are not
clean, the houses seem dilapidated
and neglected the ditches by the
road-side are grass-grown weeds
abound, and the place seems pro
maturely old. The streets are
very dusty and the sun verj hot.
Near the tabernacle 1 met an
old man from England who has
been here for twenty years. lie
told mo that “this is the true
church Them as haccepts the
gospel with a honest ‘cart knows
it’s true.’ He believes polygamy
right “because God is the same
yesterday, to day and forever; He
never changes. He allowed poly
gamy in the old times, and ho does
so now.” He do*-s not have two
wives himself, “hceause lie is old,
and not like these ’ere .young fei
lows.”
A buxom widow from Norway,
who stood waiting for the gate to
open; avowed her belief in tins as
the ‘‘true kirk” because she never
felt happy till she was baptized.
8ho knew by the way she felt that
this is the only kirk. She thought
polygamy right ‘‘because Joe
Smith allowed it lie would not
leave allowed polygamy i! it was
not right.”
Services in the Tabernacle be
gan at 2 and closed at i o’clock.
About •1,000 people were present,
A Well trained choir ot about fifty
male and female voices sang <he
hymns, led by the great organ.
The people d. d not sing The sec
ond at uiza of till) opening hymn
was this:
Should per-entt'oti rage unii flume,
Still trust in tl h U 'diN'merb nutno,
In (tori tiiiils thou shnlt siv,
Thut, ns thy day, thy strength shall be.
The opening prayer was made by
‘•one of the temporal bishops. ! as
I was told by one ot the elders
who shewed me to a seat and sat
beside me. I learned from him
that they have no stated preacher,
but that some one is chosen to
speak after the audience assem
bles. Tie knows nothing of it un
til asked to rise and preach. “Kv
ery Mormon ” he said, *‘ir expect
ed to live his religion, and bo so
tilled with the Holy Spirit as to be
always ready to preach,”
After another hymn, the break
ing of break,the invocation of bless
ir.g was offered and the deacons
began the distribution of the ele
ments, The passing of the bread
occupied half an hour. \\ hen this
was done the preacher was inter
rupted by one of the deacons ask
ing in inaudible tones a blessing
on the cup—of water,
The water was then passed to all,
including little children.
When the deacons began dis
tributing the bread, a Mr. Stray
ner, a good-looking man and very
graceful speaker, was designated
to preach. He took tor his text,
I Cor. 3:10 1"), and spoke for one
hour in a rambling sort of manner
on the degrees in heaven. The
third heaven, typified by the cun,
is reserved for the truo saints, es
pecially the followers of Joe Smith,
those who at the end of IO00 years
are to rise and reign with Christ
on this earth during the sabbatie
1000 years. The second heaven,
typified by the moon, is for those
who accept the true gospel, and
during the millennium are admit
ted to resurrection. The lowest
heaven, where there are many
grades, typified by the stars, is lor
all the rest of mankind, except tlie
sons of perdition, those that com
mitted the unpardonable sin, and
cuu be entered only at tbe end of
Ihetnilleuuium. Iv.itranco to heav
<iii is not, as is commonly thought,
based on faith, bat on works.
Joe Smith was a true prophet,
who not only called attention to
the true meaning of the Scriptures,
but supplemented them by a full-,
er revelation. The preacher him
self claimed to be inspired. He
would give us, not “ideas," but
truths, revelations. If at any
time lie should wish to give his
own ideas or speculations, he
would tell us that they were his
own, likewise all he said would be
revelation which we were lnmud
to accept. The true believers ac
cepts not ideas that address the
reason, but revelation which is
known by immediate intuition. It
is not a matter of argument; it lias
risen wholly above that. lie closed
by an allusion to Gen. Grant as a
man universally honored, not tor
his faith, but for his works.
The flight of so many prominent
polygamists to escape the oilicers
of the law is a sore trial to the
faith of many of the laity. Tho
crises of this matter is evidently
upon us. The leaders have appar
ently committed themselves irrevo- ;
cably to uncompromising resis
tance. The appeals, such as made i
to day, will kindle tho fanaticism
of the people. Should the govern
ment stop proceeding or falter till
the vile system is extirpated the j
poor deluded wretches who have
been gathered from all Kurope will
regard the victory as a direct in
terposition of God in behalf of
their divinely inspired leaders.
Rebellion will be exalted to a vir- j
tuc, lust consecrated as religion,
criminals will he canouued, the
government contemned, and this
valley he given over for centuries
to ho tho foul breeding place of
error and corruption.
Should the government adhere
kindly, but sternly, to its present
policy, adopting whatever means
may he necessary for the complete
accomplishment of its righteous
purpose, it will secure its own pros
perity, advance tho cause of a true
Christian civilization, and will by
and by receive the blessing of the
children whose lathers it now pun
ishes.

several counties that gave majori

Democracy of the Third district
have redeemed their promises and
are worthy of all praise. With sin
gular unanimity and great enthusi

dimes K. Jones to tho United

mocracy of Arkansas to elect a
Democrat as his successor. Right
nobly have they kept that pledge.
They did well to urge the election
of Jouc8 to the Senate; they have
done well to give tiieir votes to
McRae. Ho will prove a worthy
successor to Jones. Young, ambi
tious, well informed, a hard student

Money mentis bread and every
good thing. Money sets the spend
thrift at the top of the hill without
climbing, and enables him to coast
i down to the bottom. l>ut some
body lias toiled to the top for him;
for money means somebody’s
sweat; money is the product ol
somebody’s carefulness and self
denial. Kvery nieklo stands for so
much toil and so much pain. The
money in your hands is, t here tore,
a sacred trust. If you got it by
the outlay of your strength, yon
may haye a right to use it for your
own good, but you have no right
to waste or misuse it. If it came
to you as a gift or an inheritan ce,
then you are entrusted with
the result of another’s labors and
painstaking, and if you waste it
you wrong the living or the dead
hand that provided it for you.—

Wheeling Letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer: There is now in Wheel
ing the only native Circassian who
ever became a naturalized Ainori
38ii. Born in tho Caucasus, lie
was at a tender age torn from his
loiae and people by their ll.issiau
3oquorers, baptised into the Greek i
Church and educated for a military |
career- At his baptism he receiv- j
ad the name of Paul Nicholadse, i
which he still uses, because his ;
Uicassian name is scarcely pro- !
uounceahlo for English tongues. !
lie is iifty years old though ho,
looks scarcely forty. He is a dis- j
tinguishod and striking looking
gentleman. Ho speaks English
well, but with some traces of fa
miliarity with guttural tones.
I asked Mr. Nicholadse the other
day about the Circussian women:
“Arc they as beautiful as wo aro
leu to suppose.”
Said lie: Yes sir nearly all are
They have creamy complexions,
with delicate red tints on their
checks ; rounded shoulders and
beautiful necks; faultless forms.—
You should seo tlioir arms which
are “hare in houso costume.—
You never saw such arms in a pic- |
ture. Their hair is worn long, and ;
and is always black or very dark,
and blue, eytis. Just think of that
picture.”
“Then the Circassian beauties
we see in the dime museums are
all impostors.”
“Sure. There are ho women in
this country like thorn. They
have the fresh beauty of childhood j
with a woman’s form. You know ;
they develop quickly. Mothers 12
years old are common in my couu- |
try. A girl is as old there at I t as j
she is here au 20. Most women are j
grandmothers at dO. Then they j
decay as quickly; they live long j
lives, but they lose their rounded !
forms. Stil they are sometimes ui
tractive m old age.
“When a girl is horn a soft leath
er corset is sewed around her
waist, and that stays there till she
is married. Then it is cut off, and
her waist remains small and in a
beautiful shape. They have small
pretty feet and beautiful hands,
too. That is looked after as they ,
grow up. They do no hard work
and their feet are only shod in
loose sandals with covers and tlexi
ble soles.”
“How do they dress.”
“Tueir costumers very pictur
esque. They wear loose silk i »u
tulloons which reach the knee, and
tinely wrought stockings. Their
ouly upper garment is a close tit
ting, sleeveless vest, with e kills
behind like a long coat, snd cut
away in front, leaving a small trU
angular space above the corsage
| without clothing. Underclothing
| is unknown there and in all other
eastern countries. The women,
when in the presence of any but
their husbands, are closely veiled.
That is true in all Mohammedan
countries. The reason is, the
Koran teaches, we can sin with the
eyes. A Mohammedan woman—
at least a Circassian woman—
would welcome death as an alterna
I tive to life among Christians and
i to lw exhibited with bare lace to
Christians; you have no women
who live half as degraded a life as
that would bo regarded.”
“It was once so,” Mr. Nichol
adsc continued, ‘‘that many Circas
sian girls were kept in harems in
Constantinople and other cities.
They were sold virtually by their
parnets to rich Turks. The Koran
allows that, liven in Circassian
marriages the bride was in a man'
ncr sold by her parents. That was
an old custom but did not pre
clude tender love for the girl by
her parents, nor prevent marriages
of choice. Now there arc few Cir
cassian girls. Most of tho white
beauties in the harems are Georgi
ans who arc much like the Circas
sians and Armenians. An Armen
ian would sell his soul for gold.
“The very education that girls
receive who are intended for the
harem would send a man to the
state prison in this country for the
teaching, and ought to end him to
eternal punishment. They arc
taught to regard the worst things
as virtues.”

Small Things. •
Hill Arp, of Georgia, thus chats:
‘‘The whole economy of life is in
little things. The farmer thinks1
his cotton hales a big thing, and (
struts around them with pride, but;
the profit that, is in them don’t
amount to much. Uis wife Inis
saved him much more money by 1
her year's unpretending work. A
long time ago, w hen f was a bov, !
my mother experimented in a small
way with some silk worms and
made a little sum of money, and 1
she was very proud of her success. 1
It cost my father nothing and not
much of my mother's time—she!
reeled a few pounds of siik and i
sold it for six dollars a pound. And :
so my father thought the silk hus- ,
inesH a hig thing and he sent oil
and got cuttings from the Morns
Multi Caulis mulberry and in a
year or two they were all ready
tor the silk worms, and he built j
him a two story house and tilled it
full of racks and luidles, and it
took my brother and me and all
hands to attend to them. It was a
nasty business and wore ns all out,
tor when the worms got hungry and
began to cruise around tor break
fast they had to he fed all over. So
after awlnle the mulberries were
stripped and the worms wero still
hungry, and my brother and my
sett had to get up before day ev
ery morning and go five miles to
another orchard utter leaves ana
i get back by sunrise, and it wore;
I us ont, but wo worried through
with it and then when the cucoqus
j were all make, we hud another til- |
thy job reeling off Hie silk in hot
weather, and we made one hun
dred and forty pounds and sold it
at *5 a pound ami quit the business.
It was too big a business; and so it
is with many things. They arc too ;

cus and turkeys and selling eggs,
but these lionncvries don't do
much. Common folks can attend,

Dallas Herald- According to Mr;
Iteagan, there are three classes in
the east who demand the cessation
of silver coinage—the hankers, the
bondholders and those people with
fixed incomes- Silver stricken

Jlew York Sun: The prohibition

forbidding tho manufacture And
' sale of alcoholic beverages, and if
they cannot get that they want
' none at all with respect to the liq

rum seems to be tlicir cry. Either
crush out tho evil or lot it do its
worst, until the public rise up

language of sensible and practical

legislation which can ho carried

prohibition has never done and
will never do that.
