ONE OF TIE PEOPLE,


MORMoNIsM IN ENGLAND.-IhcN New
York Tribune, at one time the organ
of Mormonism, rs it is of all the isn,s
of the day, has the following notice of
the progress Of MormonisIn, taken
from the Millcnal Star published i'll
London:
by letters from Elders Woodward
and Obray, says the Star, We learn
that the little lcaven set on the inter
csting Island of Malta is spreading and
fermcnting among the inhabitants OF
that portion of the globe. Six persons
have been baptized, natives Of five diff.
forcut countries. a spirit of opposi-
ton has been manifested by the clergy,
as u matter of course. The saints OF
Italy, also were firm in the faith and
rejoicing in the truth.
One of the Mormon French CON
vcrts, Francois Stoudcman, writing
from Lausanne, in Switzerland, gives
an account of Il visit to Geneva, during
which occurred couple of miracles.
brother Morcl frequently visits at
the house Of II lady who purposes to
bc baptized. This lady is the mother
of four or five children, one of whom is
weak minded, almost an idiot, and had
never walked; and its twisted, droop.
ing, powcrlcss limbs banishcd tho
hope of its walking for long time
Brother Morel, touched with compas-
sion at the fate of the poor child, put
his hand to its chin rs it sat on its
mothers knees, and regarding him
with attention, recommended him to
the grace of the Lord, that He might
have pity upon him. Well, dear
brother, the child walked next day!
The other case was that of girl
sick with intermittent fever. The wri,
ter says he was invited to administer
to her with holy oil, which he did
twice, asking our Heavenly Father,
&c., from which time the girl was quite
well
The Star confidently expects to see
many thousand saints depart from,
England for Dcscret when the next
spring opens

HE Book CoNCERN.-Thc following
extract from one of the New York
letters of an exchange, accounts for the
delay in adjusting the question of di-
viding the Methodist Book Concern
situated in New York:
"The long-pcnding difficulty be-
tween the Methodist Churches, North
and Sout'., i'll respect to the mammoth
Book Concern i'll this city, has not yet
been finally disposed of, although the
principle involved was decided by the
United States Circuit Court in favor of
the Church Southland the Church
North has determined not to appeal.
The cause of the delay il, said to be
the confused state of the accounts of
their concern, which the most skillful
book-kecpers find it difficult to uLrav-
ell; and, until these accounts are
Strengthened out, it will be impossible
to ascertain the value of the concern.
The fact is, the Book Concern has been
in the hands of the most stupid and
incompetent men that could have been
called from the whole field of the Me.
thodist denomination. They may have
been abundantly blessed with piety,
but they have not had the least modi-
cum of business fact, and have gone
on, heaping blundcr upon blundcr, un-
til the financial department is in al
most incXtricablc confusion. The best
way to settle the matter would he to
sell out the whole concern to the high

AMERICAN ORAT,nv L. has long
been conceded that Mr.. Webster
stands mt the head of American or
ators. In Ill his speeches, we re-
collect no passage more truly clo-
qucnt than his culogium OH Alexander
Hamilton, delivered in the course OF
his address to the citizens OF New
York, on the 10th Of March, 1881.
Speaking of that great mans con-
nection with the public finances, as
Secretary Of the Treasury under Gen.
Washington, Mr.. Webster said:
"llc smotc the rock of the national
resources, and abundant streams of
revenue gushcd forth. lie touched
the dead corpse of the public credit,
and it sprung upon its feet
When we first read Mr.. Wcbstcrs
New York speech, wo thought these
beautiful figures could not be i'm
proved upon. They arc surpassed,
however, in the following extract from
fourth of July oration, delivered
at Natchez, in 1889, by ono of the
present distinguished representatives
in Congress from Mississippi. Dwell
ling upon the great services Of the
immortal Washington, in our rev
olutionary struggle, the eloquent
speaker thus improves on Mr.. Web
stcr's felicitous conception:
