Mrs. St. Clair,s Lecture on tho Mormon
Women = The Mormon Murders DE:
fended-An Infamous Justification Of
Polygamy.
Last evening Mrs. st. Clair delivered
q lecture on the Mormon women. She
started with saying that she intended to
tell the truth = to represent things as
she saw them that a mendacious press
had vilifed the Mormons, who were the
most honest people on the face
of the earth. She denounced Vice
President Colfax and Mr.. Bowles for
their attack on the Mormons, and
thought it was their bounden duty to
praise them after the hospitable recep-
ton they had received. She claimed
that the Mormon women were a cheer
full, happy set, who accepted polygamy
as a revelation from God. She charac.
terized them as almost angels. The
children were the most orderly, quiet,
III .behaved set that she ever saw.
Both of these statements are directly
the reverse of those made by every wri-
ter who has visited the Mormons. Moth.
ing is better authenticated than the fact
that polygamy has a sad and depressing
effect on the women, and that 1t is spo-
ken of by them as o grierous burden.
Brigham himself has berated them in the
Tabernacle for their dissatisfaction. In
speaking of the crimes in Utah, she
made the astonishing assertion that
there were only three charged to them
the Mountain Meadow massacre, the
murder Of Dr.. Robinson, and the as
s~assination of Brass6eld. Tho PEG
pie murdered at the Mountain Meadows
were e%migrants from Missouri pass
ing through the Territory to settle In
Arizona or California, and they had
boosted that they had run the Mormons
out Of Missouri. There is not a particle
of truth in this statement. The emil
grants were from Arkansas; and John
ID. Lee, the head Mormon in that part
of the Territory, was the leader of the
band that committed the murder. It
was perpetrated for the plumber TO DO
obtained. The emigrants had with them
q quantity Of fine stock and much valu-
able property. Her account Of the muir
der of DR.. Robinson showed either Fer
ignorance of the facts or q willful per-
version of them. That Of Brassield
was equally incorrect. The whole lee
ture was a rehask Of %Brigham's stale
arguments in favor Of polygamy, and
was the subject Of severe comment and
derision by every person present who
had ever been in Utah. Her justification
of polygamy was an insult to the intel
ligence Of the audience. II It were
worth the space, its falsity in every
assertion, from the beginning to the
end, could be easily shown. At the
close the audience were presented with
some pinchbeck trinkets rs tawdry as
the discourse. Sho announced this as
her last lecture. II 10 to be hoped co.
San Francisco Chronicle, August IL.
Mrs. St. Clair and her husband are
two rs big bilks as ever tried to draw
an audience, bu. failed, In Washos.
Southwest Missouri or Arkansas is their
proper field of labor-as the people
there are very ignorant.

DEAD MASON.
The q sl R:s Ms:ssls E%r : : Z f. siill,ssssla

Tho First NIsseaie FaueraI In California
"A Remarkable Masonic Incident.
The first Masonic funeral that ever
occurred in CALIFORNIA; took place In the
year ls49, and was performed over the
body Of a brother found in the bay Of
San Francisco. An account of the
ceremonies states that on the body Of
the deceased was found a silver mark
Of q Mason, upon which were engraved
the initials Of his name. A little fur.
Their investigation revealed TO the be-
holder the most singular exhibition Of
Masonic emblems that was ever drawn
by the ingenuity Of man on the human
skin. There is nothing in the history
Of the traditions of Freemasonry to
equal Il. Beautifully dotted on his
left arm in red aud blue ink, which
time could not %efface, appeared all the
emblems Of the Entered Apprentice
ship. There were the Holy Bible, the
square and compass, the twenty-four
inch gauge and common. gayel. There
were also the Masonic pavement, repre-.
senting the ground floor of King
Solomou's Temple, the indented tessel
which surrounds it, and the blazing
star in the centre. On his right arm,
and artistically executed in the same
indelible liquid, were the emblems per-
tanning to the Fellow Graft degree, viz:
the square, the level, and the plumb.
There were also the Eve orders Of arch.
itecture-the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic,
Corinthian and Composite.
In removing the garments from his
body the trowel presented itself, with
all the other tools of operative masonry.
Over his heart was the pot Of incense.
On the other parts Of his body were the
beehive, the "Book Of Constitutions
guarded by the Tyler's sword, the sword
pointing to a naked heart; the All-sesing
Eye, the anchor and ark, the hour.glasa,
the scythe, the forty.seventh problem OF
Euclid, the sun, moon, stars aud comets,
the three steps e~mblematical Of youth,
manhood and age. Admirably executed
was the weeping virgin, reclining on a
broken column, upon which lay The
"Book of Constitutions" In her left
hand she held a pot of incense, the
Masonic emblem of immortality of the
soul.
Immediately behind her stood winged
Time, with his ssythe by his side, which
cuts the brittle thread of life, and the
hour.glass at his feet, which is ever
reminding US that our lives are wither-
ing away. The withered and attenuated
fingers Of the Destroyer were placed
amid Sthe long and gracefully flowing
ringlets Of the diseonsolste mourner.
Thus were the striking emblems Of
mortality beautifully blended in one
pictorial representation. II was n spec
tacle such US Masons never saw before,
aud, in all probability, such as the
fraternity will never witness again.
The brothers name was never known,

The Cabinet selected by Gen. Grant
is a singular compound of men of
small abilities aud unknown. At its
head, as the premier member, stands
E. B. Washburne, the head of the
Washhurne family, who, 1t is said,
controls Gen. Grant.
E. B. Washburne, the Secretary of
Stite, is-a New Englander-Liver'

He was n member of the SD Congress
from the G4lena District, and re elee.

Congress. He was again elected to
the 36th and 87th Congress, and con:
tinued in that body until the present
ent Congress met. r.
A. T. STEWART, of New York, Is d
native of Ireland. His riches are said
to be immense, being a ship owner,

in 1861, when he heard the news #

JOHN A.. J. CRISwELL, born in &c

Postmaster General. He was for a
short lime a Senator f o Maryland,
and for one term a member of the
House of Representatives. So little is
known OF him. hat even a guess as 10
the kind of a Cabinet officer he would
m Ike, cannot be given.
AS Secretary OF the Interior, Gov
J. D. Cox, of Ohio, Is the gentleman
named. He has a fair reputation as
n business man, and when Governor
OF Ohio, was eminently respectable"
when compared with his immediate
predecessors, Brough and Tod,
Mr.. a. L. BoRIE is Secretary of the
Navy, and Mr.. L. B. HoARE is tn
Attorney General. They are great
men of whom we never before heard
mention, 1t is not impossible that
the Hoare named is Charles b. Hoare,
of Vermont. If so, he was once a
member OF Congress, end was once a
Justice of the Peace at Antwerp, N,
Y, and represented his county in the
Legislature. OF the man Borie we
have no information only he lives in
Phila., Pa.
The Secretary of War is not named.
Gen. Schofeld will probably be retain
ed.
The Cabinet is not strong. Not a sin
gle man, of even mediocre talents as a
statesman, except Cox, IS on the list,
and with General Grant as President,
statesmen ought to have been selected.
