CALIFORNIA PIONEER MORMONs.-
The Trinity Journal gives the following
reminiscence
"We have journal kept by a lady
of the Mormon expedition which left
New York for California in 1916, and in
it some funny things are recorded, and
all in that quaint, semi-religious style
peculiar to Puritan narrative. The expe-
rience of the saint sisters shows that
women, like cats, must not be packed too
close, if hair-pulling and scratching be
not expected. 1t is related that during
hail storm, couple of months out, sew
eral of the women went on deck to catch
water. Sister Joice had caught tub
half full, when Sister Marshal appeared,
claimed the tub and water too, and Sister
J. refusing to give up what she had OBJ
tanned at the expense of a ducking, Sis
ter NJ. doubled up her fist and rubbed it
under the others nose, kicked over the
tub, split the water, and behaved in a
manner so unsaint-like, that the mate
threatened to put her. in irons. It all
came, as the journalist says, of Bro.
Atherton tattling propensities.
Elder Sparks, also got into scrape.
and fell into disgrace, because he huoged
the girls, kissed the married women. and
said naughty things to them. The women
that didn't get hugged and kissed, raised
a fuss about the Elders indecorous con-
duet, and put stop to the ungodIy man. S
jew-larking with the women folks The
sisters appear to have been wonderfully
perverse, grumhled because their hus.
bands preferred single beds during hot
weather. One was cut off from the
church for speaking evil of Elder Branan :
another pined to death because the faith
required her husband to 90 forth and re-
plenish the earth faster than suited her
convenience, and without her immediate
presence.

which gave name to Mormon Island"

The LONDON TINES CORRESPONDENT

The LONDON TINES CORRESPONDENT
IN INDIA-The Calcutta correspondent
of the Madras Examiner concludes his
letter with the following paragraph:
was near closing this letter without
mentioning the arrival and departure of
Russell, the great gun of the London
Times. He was received here with great
distinction by the big wigs, and Lord
Canning fastened to invite him to dinner,
and show him every politeness in his pow
er. He has been fawned upon and ca
ressed by the higher grades of civilians,
and an immense parade of candor has
been shown on all sides; and, what is
still more odd, he has been allowed access
to documents which have been kept relig-
iously hidden from all other eyes. Every
facility was given him to reach Allahabad
in safety and comfort, and it was really
delightful to see the terror he inspires
wherever he goes.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. In an
other column we publish the proceedings
of the Democratic Convention held at
Murphy's, on Tuesday last. The con-
ventlon was not very largely attended,
A few members attempted to exercise
despotlc control over the masses, but they
soon settled down into the regular routine
OF business; not, however, until after
they had driven all those delegates who
differed from them as to the interpreta-
ton OF the Cincinnati Platform, from the
convention, and purged it of such as re-
fused or could not take the "test" of
Democratic Faith. We consider that
test quite broad enough for any democrat
to stand on. The Convention decided
that "any person who voted majority of
the regular democratic State ticket last
election, and intended to do the same the
coming election, was democrat" Had
the primary elections, in most of the pre-
cincts been equally as liberal, the con-
yention would have shown a different
vote on the main Resolutions. In San
Andreas, and in many other precincts,
none were allowed to vote except those
who voted for James Buchanan, two
years ago; which narrowed the faithful
down to very small number, and made
all who came into the democratic ranks
since, or then failed to vote through in
clination, business or sickness, or had be-
came of age since that time, ineligible
to vote.
Under the head of popular Sove-
reignty Democratic Meeting" published
in another column, will be found the pro-
ceedings of the Withdrawing branch of
the Democratic County Convention. 1t
will be perceived that they have appoint
ed full list of delegates to the State
Convention, adopted series Of resolu-
tions indorsing Senator Bnoderick and
Hon. Jos. C. McKibbin, and designa-
ting the 10th of August next, as the day
upon which Popular Sovereignty Con-
vention should assemble at Angels Camp
to make nominations for State Senator,
Assemblymen and County officers. 1t
was also resolved to support the nominees
of the Democratic State Convention.
