An interesting occurrence transpired IN
Kentucky recently. While the Old Hun
dred Concert troupe were at Lexington, they
visited the grave of Clay accompanied by
several carriage loads of citizens. On tha
hallowed spot they sang dirge. The ladies'
of the troupe at first stood in the snow; but
the Kentucky gentlemen dotted their coats,
and casting them upon the frigid earth form
ed carpet upon witch the women might
stand in comfort No refusal could be taken
and the daintiIy covered feet of the fair wo-

Mormon Idea of Heaven.

Elder Mddlemas, one of the Saints OF Nor
mondom, in recent sermon at Salt Lake
City, thus gave his idea of Heaven:
do not believe that Heaven is that fairy,
airy place of fancy that mo:t people think it
is. 1t is a bona .fde place of ,nateriality,
much resembling the earth, only, of course,
it is thousands Of times larger, and every.
thing there exists in greater perfection than
on the earth. 1t is globe just like this
planet we inhabit 1t is a home of God and
the angels That passage in the Scripture
which reads: "A day with the Lord is a thou
sand years, and II thousand years as "a day,
clearly establishes the fact, that Heaven is a
planet, notable globe, governed 10y the
same natural laws and astronomical princi
piles that this earth is governed by; but it is
so much larger than our little star, that it
takes 365 900 times longer to make a revo-
see that it is fact, that one OF Gods days,
or day in Heaven, is thousand years.
They eat, and drink, and sleep in Heaven
the same as we do here. Earth is emphati-
caily miniature of Heaven. believe they
have a printing office in Heaven and electric
telegraph and reporters. Why not? Are
they not greater than we on earthe l believe
there is a channel of communication extend.
ing from my mouth to the home Of the an
gels, and probably an angel at the telegraph
office in Heaven is now waiting for the news
from here, and as soon AS he gets it ne will
take it right up to the hands Of the printers;
they will set it up in type and print it in
newspapers, and then boys or men will jump
on horses and ride around, giving the inhab-
itaats Of Heaven the latest news concerning
the Kingdom of God on earth. There are
more than two reporters here--more than
brother Long and brother Watt: ! believe
there is reporter here from Heaven to find
out who is speaking, what he is speaking
about, and everything else OF interest. He
sends the items as fast as he gets them, right
up to Heaven, and they are printed.

Washington on Currency.

At meeting of the New York Board Of
Currency, held recently, Mr.. John V. Vat
man presented a letter written by General
Washington upon the subject of the then
existing continental rags" which had sue

credit" issued by the several colonies The
soundness Of his views are tie more remark
able when we remember that he had not

them by. The letter we record rs curio-
sity:
MOUNT VERNON, Feb. 27, 1887.
DEAR SIR:-Your favor of the 3Oth ult.
came duly to hand. To give an opinion in
a case of SO much importance as that which
has warmly agitated the two branches of
your Legislature, land which, from the ap.
peal that is made, is likely to create great
and perhaps dangerous divisions, is rather a
delicate matter; but as this diversity Of OPT
MON is on subject which has, believe, oc-
cupied the minds of most men, and as my
sentiments thereon have been fllly and deci-
dedly expressed long before the Assembly
either of Maryland or this State, was con
vened l do not scruple to declare that if
had voice in your Legislature it would be
given decidedly against paper emission
upon the general principle of its utility as
a representative and the necessity of it as a
medium. TO assign reason for this opinion
would be as unnecessary as tedious-the
ground has been SO often rod that place
hardly remains untouched; in a word, the
necessity arising from a want Of specie is
represented as greater than it really is. |
contend that it is by the substance and not
the shadow of a thing that we are to be
benefited.
The wisdom of man, in my humble OPT
Mon, cannot at this time devise Il plan by
which the credit of paper money would be
long supported consequently, depreciation
keeps pace with the quantity of emission,
and articles for which it is exchanged rise
to greater ratio than the sinking value Of
the money. Wherein, then, is the farmer,
the planter, and artisan benef,ede The
debtor may be, because, as have observed,
he gives the shadow in lieu of the substance,
and in proportion to his gain the creditor or
body polite suffer. Whether a legal tender
or not, it will, as has been observed very
truly leave no alternative. 1t must be that
or nothing. An evil equally great is the
door it Immediately opens for speculation,
by which the least designing and perhaps
most valuable part of the community are
preyed upon by the more knowing and Graf
ty spectators. But, contrary to my inten
ton and declaration, am otfering reasons
in support ofmy opinion; reasons, too, which
of all others are the least pleasing to the ad
vocates for paper money. shall therefore
only observe, generally, that so many peo-
pie have suffered by former emissions, that,
like burnt child that breads the fire, no
person will touch it who can possibly avoid
it, the natural consequence Of which will be,
that the specie which remains unsupported
will be instantly locked up.
With great esteem and regard, am, dear
sir, etc, GEO. WAsHNGToN.

MEMORY.
BY WILLIAM NJ. PRAUD.

BY WILLIAM NJ. PRAUD.
Stand on funeral mound,
Far from all that love thee,
With a barren heath around
And a cypress bower above thee:
And think. while the sad wind frtts,
And the night in cold gloom closes,
OF spring, and springs sweet violets,
OF summer, and summers roses.
Sleep where the thunders fly,
Across the tossing billow,
Thy canopy the sky,
And the lone deck thy pillow;
And dream, when the chill sea-foam
In mockery dashes DER thee,
OF the cheerful hearth and the quiet home,
And the kiss of her that bore thee.
Watch in the deepest cell
OF the foemans dungeon tower,
Till Hopes most cherished spell
Has lost its cheering power;
And sing, while the CALLING chain
On every stiff limb freezes,
OF the huntsman hurrying Ger the plain,
OF the breath of the mountain breezes.
Talk of the minstrel's lutte,
The warriors high endeavor,
And the honeyed lips now mute,
And the strong arm crushed for ever;
Look back to the summer sun,
From the mist of dark December;
Then say to the broken hearted one,
.''Ts pleasant to remember"

Our INDrANs.-From the report of the
Secretary Of the Interior, we take the fol-
lowing: efforts have been made during the
past year, to ascertain, with some approach
TO accuracy, the number of our Indian popu-
lation. So far as the annuity Indians are
concerned, the required information is easily
obtained, but it is almost impossible to ascer-
tain, with any certainty. the numbers Of the
migratory and rowing tribes of the far West.
In respect to these, the estimates must be
regarded as merely approximate. The num-
Der of Indians within our borders may be
set down down in round numbers, at three
hundred and fifty thousand.

yards on an instrument of this kind, and
speed of 24O might be obtained without any

miles in thirty five minutes, on the Boulve.

offered to keep it up alternate hours, day as
