Mormon ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS KIM
BALL ON "HEALING."-In recent discourse
President Kimball said 1.-THE rough oak
boxes in which the bodies of Joseph and Hy-
rum were brought from Carthage were made
into canes and other articles. have cane
made from the plank of one of these boxes,
so has Brother Brigham, and great many
others, and VIC prize them highly and esteem
them n great blessing. / want to carefully
preserve my cane, and when am done with
il here | shall hand it down to my heir with
instructions to him to do the same. And the
day will como when there will be multitudes
who will be be healed and blessed through
the instrumentaty Of those canes, and the
devil cannot overcome those who have them,
in consequence Of their faith and confidence
in the virtues connected with them. Often
when called upon to visit the sick, and when
not in situation to 90, have blessed my
handkerchief and asked God to sanctify it and
fill it with life and power, and sent it to the
sick, and hundreds have been healed by it;
in like manner have sent my cane. DR..
Richards used to lay his old black cane on a
persons head, and that person has ben hea!
ed through its instrumentality by the power
of God. / have known Joseph, hundreds of
times, send his handkerchief to the sick and
they have been healed There are persons in
this congregation who have been healed by
throwing my old cloak on their beds"

KILLED by A SKY.RocKET AT CnIoAeo.-
The Democrat of yesterday relates a sad ac-
cident which took place in that city on the
evening of tho Fourth. A Mrs. Smith was
standing at the open window with her hus-
band. looking at some houses on fire at the
corner Of Lake and Clark streets, when n
case of fireworks in one Of the burning build
ings exploded, and one Of the rockets camc
Into the window, striking Mrs. Smith in the
ferehead penetrating into her brain, and xii.
ling her instantly. 1t happened so suddenly
that her husband did not know she was in
the room until he turned about and saw her
lreless body on the floor. From the terrible
manner in which her head was manged il
was evident that the rocket must have explod-
ed after il had entered.

DEFINITION OF ADMTTANoE.--In Lynch
bnrgh, Va, there is n lad proverbial as being
bad spcllcr. The school that he attends
has, among its many rules and regulations,
one that requires the scholars to spell col
umn in the Dictionary, and 'give the meav-
ing" just as the school opens. Well, this
:, "" ~ " -: - m .' -
the first word was "admittance." This lad
had been walking around sight seeing, when
his eye lit upon circus bill which, among
other inducements to draw crowd, hfd "ad-
mittance twenty-five cents-niggers and chill
dren half price" Our young friend spelled
tho word, and learned it ''bv heart" Next
day, strange to say, the head boy missed,
and the next, and the next and so on, until
it came to our particular friend, who was, in
the meantime, all excitement with the hope
Of getting "head," being sanguine that he
was right. Here is the result:
TEAoHER-Boy at the foot, spell 'admit-
tance."
BoY-Ad-mit-tance, admittance.
T-Give the definition.

From the N. " Evening Post
Gov. Marcy's last Hours--ExhiIirati0n of
Spirits..His B0oks-.The Book He was
Reading when He Died.


1t was in social and domestic life that Mr..
Marcy appeared in his most inviting aspect.
He loved his family, his children, his friends,
and was never so happy as, when away from
the burden of official care, he could freely
enter into the pleasures which their presence
afforded.
Hence, during the last few weeks of his
life, when he had worldwide reputation,
when his circumstances were such as to allow
him to rest upon tho honors which he had
adquired, he was in his happiest condition.
His old book and his old friends were his
constant solace, and when he stopped at the
antique, shaded hotel at Ballston, where he
died. 1t was noticed how he would take his
chair out under the wide spreading elms and
entertain his landlord and the plain, old-fash-
ioned people who gathered around him de-
lighted with the pleasant stories which he
told and the philosophic humor and shrewd-
ness, and social feeling which twinkled in his
keen, bright eye.
At another time he would return to his
room, as his custom was, and taking up some
favorte old author, (he rarely read modern
literature,) Milton, Shakespeare, Hervey, a.
mong the poets, South, Barrow, or Robert
Hall, among the divines; his French edition
of Machiavel, IA favorite work, by the way,
of Senator Seward,) or Bacon among philo-
sophie writings, and would read until he fell
asleep. And this, indeed, was the way in
which he fell asleep on the noon of Indepen-
dence Day. He had retired to his room, put
his boots in the usual corner, put on his dres-
sing gown, and laying down with Knights
edition of Bacon's Essays small red quar-
to volume, with illustrations.
When he was found he was still on his
bed, his eyes were quietly closed, on one side
were the spectacles, on the other the well
remembered snuff. box, and open on his breast
lay the book he so much lovcd--that immor-
tai epitome of human wisdom-the Essays of
Bacon, and over it were clasped his hands,
hugging it to his heart. Such was his final
sleep-peaceful, serene and worthy Of so
great life-in the midst of the thunder
which commemorated the birth day of the
nation whose famc and power he had done so
much to uphold and extend.
What page it was on which the volume
was opened know not Perhaps it was on
that most appropriate passage where the
great philosopher thus discourses con Death: :"
"a mind fixed and bent on somewhat that
is good, doth avert the doors of death; but
above all, believe it, the sweetest cautice is
'nunc dimmiHis,' when man hath obtaiacd
worthy ends and expectations"

CHANGING CLoTHEs.-The Synod Of Ken
lucky was in session. The subject Of raising
tho salaries of certain Professors was under
discussion. The Rev. Ro t. J. Breckenridge,
ID. d., (of whom his nephew, the new Vice
President said, eff Uncle Robert had been
appointed to a command in Mexico, they
would have been fighting till this time")
was on the floor making speech in opposi
tion to the measure. 1t had been said Of
ministers Of high standing and large means,
clothed in fine linen and faring sumptuously
every day, did not sympathze with those
whose salaries are small. To this DR.. Breck-
enridgo was replying. He secuted the idea
luxuries of the world. AS for himself, he
challenged any man to say he lived more fru
gally than himself Drawing himself up to
his full height, and standing six feet at least,
he displayed his proportions and said: Gas to
fine linen, if there is man on this floor who
dresses more plain than do, l offer to ex-
change clothes with him at this moment"
Directly in front Of the Moderator, and in
sight of most Of the members, sat tho Rev.
Mr.. Hopkins, one Of the planting cIergy-a
short tbickset rotund brother, whose circum-
ference exceeded his alttude-and in this re-
spect no man in the house presented so strong
and striking a contrast with tho tall and
courtly Kentuckian. But the proposition to
swap clothes had hardly escaped the lips Of
the speaker, before Hopkins wriggled himself
out of his seat and on his feet, and cried out,
"Mr. Moderator, TN HIS MANw
The effect was instant and tremendous
The image Of Breckenridge, with his long
arms and legs protruding from Hopkins tog-
gerry, was up before the eyes Of the Synod.
They could see nothing else, think of moth
ing else; and for while they gave way to
uncomfortable laughter, in which no ono
Joined so heartily as the aiscomftcd speaker.

TIE POPULATION OF CHINA.-The ac-
counts of the population Of the Chinces en-
pire, as given in school biographies and sta
tistical hand books, are usually gathered from
tho census Of 1915, the eighteenth year OF
liking, which gave China population OF
81, ,0o0,O 900 Inhabitants, so that at present
making all due allowance for civil war and
cmgra,ion-wc may safely set down the
population Of China at 4oo,0oO,oo0 Many Of
the provincial capitals have n population
ranging from 100000 TO 100000.
