A FAVORABLE VIEW BY BOSTON LADY-HE IS AD-
MITTRD TO BE SUPERIOR TO BEEcHER. 10


The Utah correspondent Of the Boston Traveller,
who IL understood TO be . lady, says: Brigham
Young we saw at the tabernacle the first Sunday
sitter our arrival. When be rose to deliver his
sermon, saw man apparently 40 years Of age
lhe IL really 7o,) Of light complexion and hgnt
well moduIated and clear. His style Of orstory
seems more Of conversational style, but i was
characterized BY gentle dignity. l Was dieapr

svsggerer in the pulpit. was also sstoni.heo 70
hear the success Of the prophet-s man OF equal
talent a. orator to Beecher, but with an easier
style, and more graceful flow Of language; pat
in almost every sentence reminding one strongly
Of the Plymouth church divine; while IN magne-
spite of prejudice, saw in Brigham Young the
orator that surpassed all that ever listened to.
"No trade with GentIles," was the burden of his
sermon, on the ground Of selfdefense For.
said he, (" II We encourage these outsiders, there
and then We must pack up and leave" He even
stated to his congregation Of Thousands. that II
they did trade with outsiders they must expect 10

The tabernacle Is an immense building, and Il
with fine organ and choir that would do credit
to metropolitan church. The ladies occupy the
center rows Of seats, while the gentlemen are IN
the side row Of slips. The dignitaries and oncials
occupy semicircular sort Of low gallery ct the
end opposite the orchestra IN tha center OF which
is the pulpit The communion begins each Sun
day afternoon, after the opening prayer and hymn.

and then perhaps score of persons each take q
basket of bread, and 1t is passed over the Assem-.

Is made over the water flor its cohsecration--no

Mormons.) While the water il being carried
around the sermon is takep up and finished. With
the exception Of using water at communion the
form of worship is almost identical with that OF
New England Congregationalists. OF course, all
this is new and strange to me. The day, the ser.
vices the speeches, and the people, were all sub

part of the elobe. ,.-.--,r rs .r

SALT WITH NuTs.-One time, while enjoying
visit from an EDglishman, hickory nuts were
served in the evening, when my English friend
called for salt, stating that he knew 8 case Of q
woman eating heartily OF nuts In the evening who
was violently taken III. The celebrated DR.. Abb
ernsthy was sent for, but it was after he had be-
come too fond of his cup, and was not in the con.
dition to 20. He muttered salt, salt 20 of which
no notice was taken. Next morning be went to
the place and she was o corpse. He said that
had they given her salt IL would have relieved
her; If they would allow him to make an exani.
stomach the nuts were found in 0 mass. he
sprinkled salt on this and 1t immediately dissolv
ed. have known Of sudden death myself
which appeared 70 have been the effect Of the
same cause. generally cot salt with nuts, and
consider that Il improves them. - (.

DIcKENs's NEW PRoGRAMNE.-Mr. Dickens In
troduced Fsgin, Bill Sykes and Nancy to an Eng
lish audience on the night Of January 5th. In an
ticpation Of the event every seat IN the large st.
James Hall was occupied. A still more signif-
noticed in the effort made by the audience to be 10
the hall early. The papers had stated that this
was Mr.. Dickenss wish, and the holders Of seats
came early in such throngs that the entrances were
The London Daily News again notices the faults
of Mr.. Dickens as reader, and remarks that his
qualities, both the excellent and the reverse, were
observable In the new selection which he then
read in public for the first time. Perhaps we can
not do better than give the description Of the
News 30 far 90 it relates particularly to the read
ing from Oliver Twist, In full: ~ aelao ]
N" The character of Fagin he acted throughout I;
and except that the London fence had too near
o resemblance to the moneylender Of the Rialto,
acted most admirably. The benevolent young lady
ard her guardian were by no means 80 completely
individualized; and even Nancy herself, fallen,
degraded, brutalized, but with still one spark Of
human feeling, with one redeeming quality-her
love for Bill, and the hope that she may rescue
him ss well as herself from their life Of crime,
and save them both from its inevitable conse-
quences- had justice done to her. Mr..
Dickens seemed afraid to display the full force Of
her passionate, halfsavage, but still wonan's ma
ture. In the portrayal Of the Vulgar, suspicious
and crnging charity boy, Noah Claypole. he wss
more successful; and there was no want Of ruff
anism, of thorough coarse, reckless brutality, In
the picture he presented Of Bill Sykes. Tho best
parts Of the reading were, undoubtedly, the inter
view between Sykes and Fsgin, where the Jew
discloses Nancy's treachery, and urges-suggest'
ing only, but certainly urges-his confederate TO
her murder, the description Of that cruel and COW
ardy deed, and the passage which records the
death Of the burglar, hanged in the moose Of his
own making. Mr.. Dickens had, evidently, re-
served himself Q good deal IN the earlier part Of
the re ding and worked M TO the climax 40 ekll-
fully and effectively as to bring down the house.
The applause was 30 loud and continuous that he
was compelled to return TO the platform and bow

We are glad TO notice that Senator Conkllng's

gress, which authorizes the Secretary OF the
Treasury and the Postmaster General to exchange
the ground at the southern end OF our City Han
Park, lately purchased Post once site, for an
other plot somewhere up town, has been adopted by
site for the new Post onDe. We want that enlirc
square for breathing and turning spot for The null
ttudes who crowd our great thorougnfares either
side. We desire to see the space between our new
City Han aud the HERALD building kept intact

let the new Post ONCE 20 further up, ns proposed.
could be concentrated to purchase all the low ground
OF Centre street 10 the Five Points, &c, including
the Tonbs, for the purpose OF raising the grade to
level with Broadway, and the appreciation OF pro-
perty increased BY such an elevation OF the grade

a habitual patron of an institution,
whose pathway is marked with the
footprints of the destroyer of the
bodies and souls Of men? Is it any
thing but the species of the most
unaccountable recklessness
In conclusion, can.we, who are
not patrons Of those manufactures
of woe and misery, innocently look
on and hear the wall Of widows and
orphans, while we have sons and
daughters, who may at any time, be
drawn into this vortex of ruin and
death, or if not this, can we remain
indifferently, when these victims of
misery and misfortune imploringly
stretch out their hands and beg for
help, and we not make an effort fol
their relief. May not these voices
rise up in judgment, and condemn
us for not having put forth an effort
for their deliverance. God holds
us responsible far our conduct.

LETTER FROM IOWA.
ALGoNA, Iowa, June 4, 1869.

ALGONA, IOWA, June 4, 1869.
L. A. GoRMLET, ESQ, -a.
DEAR Sir: Your favor of May
4th has been at hand for some time,
but protracted absence from home
has prevened my answering it until
now.
This part of the country has su-
perior soil, there being no land to
speak of, which is not Of a rich
black loan. -#s t.'
Where water is not found in
springs and streams, it is easily Oh
tained by digging about thirty feet.
The climate is healthy, fever and
ague being of rare occurrence.
1t is mainly a prairie country, the
timber being found only along the
streams and rivers, and worth from
$40 to $50 per acre, according to
quality and location, and prairie
from 50 so to SO. rasJ
Homesteads may still be found at
some distance from the towns
They are, of course, without timber
but are being taken-very rapidly.
We have good clay for brick, and
brick yards are being started in
nearly every important village.
Coal abounds in various parts OF
the State, so that fuel will always be
abundant.
Railroads are building in ever J
direction through the State, so thai
every township in the newer and
unsettled parts of it will soon have {
market within few hours drive
The McGregar and Iowa City rail
road will soon traverse the entire
northern portion of the State. .
Any person, twenty one years o.
age, or the head of a family, who is
an American citizen, or has declared
his intentions to become such, anC
has not aided the late rebellion, OF
any one who has served in the army
of the United States for a period o.
not less than fifteen days, may take
a homestead; and if he compile.
with the requisition of the law, il
regard to settlement and cultivation
will receive his, or her, patent at thu
end Of five days, no matter how
much land he or she may own else
where; but no person can take {
homestead but once.
I shall be glad to welcome you
and any number of your friends, te
our beautiful, fertile, and rapidly
growing State. sS.
Very truly yours,
ASA G. CALL.
