SALT LAKE, March 24.-The Aea0s.
in regard to the passage of the Gull
lom bill By the House, says: The
striking out of FIVE sections rid it
Of its several most repulsive features; /;
that they were too strong for Con-
gross to swallow, and adds that many
thought the House would never pass
this bill In any form, and that it is
a clear evasion of the Constitution,
and an indirect contradiction Of It's
principles. It says: We cannot say
what the Senate will do with
1t, but this we can say: If
it passes and then should receive the
signature of the President and become
q law, it will not meet its wishes and
answer expectations. Its authors say
personally: We care not what action
be taken on the question. Persecu-
tions drive US from township 10 town
ship, and soon to a territory. 1t has
made US strong, thrifty, and fearless.
The most valuable experience we pos
sess to day we gained through perse-
cution. and do not dread It's effects.
He said that if men wish to push
Mormonism ahead, let them persecute
it, pass Cullom's bill, and then raise
armies and attempt to fight, drive and
exterminate it. and then it will result.
He adds: IF it should pass the SEN
ate and be signed by the chief Execu-
tive, we may then discuss its merits
and its probable effect.

A Mystery Solved.

A Methodist minister who was
quaint in his manner, had a son who
vas attending public school. Though
by no means deficient In natural abil-
ity, this son returned from school a
few months since with report OF
scholarship below the average.
Well, said his father. won We
fallen behind this month, have you? ?''
"Yes, sir.
How did that happen?"
Don't know, sir"
The father knew, if the son did not.
He had observed a number of dime
novels scattered about the house, but
had not thought it worth while to say
anything until g fitting opportunity
should offer itself.
A basket of apples stood on the
floor, and he said, Empty out these
apples, and take the basket and bring
it to me half full of chips" Suspect
ing nothing, he obeyed. Put these
apples back In the basket"
Put 'em in, l tell you"
But, father | can't"
DO you expect to fill basket half
full of chips and then fill it with
apples? You said you didn't know
why you fell behind at school, and l
will tell you. Your mind is like that
basket. It will not hold more than
so much. And there you've been the
past month filling it with dirt-dime
novelist The boy turned on his heel,
whistled, and said:
"Whew | see the point"
Not dime novel has been seen in
the house from that day to this.

City Hall and in the different depart
ments over the crisis at Albany con-
tinues. Mr.. Tweed'8 letter denying
having resigned the position Of Dep
uty Street Commissioner, created
! considerable surprise. Sharp words
are said to have passed to-day be-
/ tween Mr.. Tweed and Mr.. Gennett,
and the former declared he was on
the war path to the bitter end.
The World Of to-day claims that the
ring has smashed, and says that
Sweeney, Tweed & Co., as a power in
the Democratic party are utterly de-
stroyed, and that the Young Democ-
racy are consolidated and inspirited,
as nothing but treachery could have
united them, and concludes its arti-
Gle as follows: War to the knife, and
knife to the hilt. Per contra, others
declare the Tammany ring never so
strong as since Tuesdays work
in-the Assembly. A petition for the
removal of Sweeney from the city
Chamberlainship is In circulation,
but no further changes have been
made since the removal of Tweed.
