HENRY HART AS A COMPOSER
Henry Hart. the sound of whose VIC
lin is well known and highly appre-
ciated in this city, is about to make
his debut in the musical world as a
composer. He has composed two
song and dance pieces. one of which
is dedicated to Andy Mckee, of
Manning's Minstrels, now in Chi
oago. copy of which is now on its
way to st. Louis to be published.
Those who have heard the music of
this piece. declare that it can not fail
to become immensely popular at once,
the music having all of Henry's humor
and peculiar sweetness for which his
playing is so remarkable.
Henry is believed to be the first
colored man who has attempted mu-
steal composition in this country, and
his efforts will undoubtedly be emf
nently successful.

A CASE OF LocKJAw.-A Mrs.
Rosenthal, who is now stopping
with a family on Main Street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth, is suffering
from lockjaw. From what can be
learned of her case. it appears that
about three weeks ago she trod upon
nail which, going through the sole
of her shoe, pierced her foot, causing
it to swell considerably at the time /;
but as it healed over and the swelling
subsidized, nothing more was thought
of it until last Friday, when she be-
gan to experience pains in the back
and side, which were followed by a
gradual closing of the jaws, and ina
bility to open them. DIR. Mageniss
was called to see her yesterday, but
her case, it is feared. has gone too far
to be remedied, and she will probably
be removed to the Asylum to-day.
Her husband, who was formerly a
peddler, is now in hospital in Gin
cinnati. undergoing treatment for an
affection of the eyes that has rendered
him blind, or nearly so, on which ac-
count she, with her two children, are
dependent on the charity of friends.
She is not ex pected to recover.

Gotham is excited to a more than fever
heat over the tyranny of a wealthy monop-
oily, who, in addition to the increased tar
iff of last Summer, propose to greatly adj
vance the price of their frozen commodity,
ice Tee sudden advent of warm weather
has given the dealers an excellent oppor-
tunity to profit on the necessities Of the
people, and right readily have they set
about it. Last year the price of ice in
Gotham was 80 cents per one hundred
pounds. AT the present time the price
charged is 81 per one hundred pounds,
and the dealers have resolved to make an.
other advance, announcing that they pro-
prose hereafter to ask from 81 30 to 81 So
per one hundred pounds. This extortion
naturally creates indignation among con-
sumers, who not only pronounce the sys-
tenn a barefaced fraud but complain that
they do not receive full weight on theil
orders a third part of the time, producing
proof of the most damaging character tt
sustain their allegations. In brief, every
body is determined to dispense with tn,
use of ice to an extent sufficient to teacl
the monopolists that their impositions will
return to plague them by heavy pecuni
ry loss.

After returning from Middlctown he con

at night when the horse fell in the road
about three and half miles from Smyrna,
and expired The horse was valued at
about $3.50, which Mr. W. will probably
lose, as Milburn has nothing either in
money or property. The Indignation a

"I.ife in Utah; or the Mysteries and Grimes Of
Mormonism being an expose of their secret
rites and ceremonies, with full and authentic |
history of Polygamy and the Mormon sect, |
from its origin TO the sresent time;'' by J. II.
Beadle, editor of the Salt Lake Reporter, is the
title Of valuable work just issued by the
National Publishing Co. Philadelphia, Pa.
For more than thirty years the world
has been Mortified, startled and perplexed
by the audacity and success of sect call
ing themselves Mormons. Though found
ed in fraud, this sect has succeeded in
spite of all opposition, until it is to-day
the standing reproach of our country.
The Authors long residence in Utah
and his position as Editor of the leading
journal of that Territory, peculiarly quail
fed him to write this work Mormonism
has been productive of SO many dark and
strange mysterics-so many terrible
crimes that few can comprehend, without
an intimate knowledge of it, how much
wickedness it has to answer for, and what
n standing menace to order and society it
is.
The work shows how Joe Smith and
Brigham Young have been enabled to de-
ceive and cheat their followers how by
leading them on from crime to crime, and
enticing them with licentious bats, they
have succeeded in maintaining their inhu
ence over them and treats of the Mormon
religion, its famous and heathenish char
acter, its multitude of gods, its abominabl'
doctrines and practices, revealing many
strange and outrageous ceremonies. O
the Eadopn,ent or initiation ceremonies
showing how obscene and disgusting the,
are; how female modesty is outraged il
them, and how RIGHTEOUSNESS is taught a
part Of their religious creed.
1t is important that the public shoul
know what manner of people are GROWN
up in our very midst. This work gives
fall and authentic account of their degrad
ed social condition, their blasphemou
rites and ceremonies, their sacrilegiou
doctrines and practices, and the mo-
thrilling and startling account of licer
tiousness and crime ever published. 1t
calculated to do great good by giving

TIE GREAT FIRE IN CoNsTANTINoPLE.- -
The most graphic accounts thus far receiv-
ed of the great confagration at CONSTANT
nople fail to convey an adequate idea of
its horrors and destructiveness. The lat
est reports chronicle the fact that more
than 7 900 houses were completely des-
troyed, and property to the value of $40,
900, 900 was sacrificed. Upwards of one
thousand dead bodies have already been
recovered and there are still fifteen hun
dred missing persons unaccounted for.
Seven fire companies, engines and men,
perished in the flames. The staff of the
English journal published in the city, tho
Levant Herald, including editors, compos
itors and clerks, barely escaped with theil
lives The horrible incidents are too nu
merous to detail. Mothers, fathers ant
friends were to be seen in every direction
vainly searching among the ashes for chill
dren, brothers and sisters. In one di
rection lay some twenty dead bodies, clos
ed matter, while near by were many 9th
ers who could scarcely be recognized a
having ever been living men and women
The wind was so violent and the fame
? spread with such rapidity that the peopl
knew not where to fly for safety; a
around them nothing appeared but certai
death in IFS most frightful form, and it
e only surprising that so few became its VII

Three ships have arrived at New York,
with the small pox on board, and there is
some excitement in consequence in the
city. The World says The small pox
which has been committing almost unpre-
cedent ravages in Paris, has also begun
to manifest itself in England and some
parts of Ireland, despite the general en-
forcment of compulsory vaccination. In
fact, there seems to exist an epidemic
wave of this terrible disease, threatening
to beat over the most rigid barriers Of
quarantine. Should it become once fairly
started here, in the absence of any power
to compel reyaccination, and in the filthy
condition of the most crowded quarters Of
the city, there is every reason to apprc
hend most disastrous results.
