sumed the same direction. lie hemmed
the wretch within wall of strong evi-
dence and mpregnable argument; cutting
off all hope of escape. He dug beneath
the murderer's feet bitches of diemmas.

80 then it was vision both glorious
and dreadful to behold the orator. His
action became as impetuous as the motion
of an oak in hurricane Ills voice be-
came a trumpet, filled with wild whirl-
pools, deaienlng the ears with crashes Of
power, and yet interminglcd all the while
with sweet undersong of the sottest
cadence. His forehead glowed like a
heated furnace, his countcnance was hac-
gard, like that Of maniac, and anon he
flung his long bony arm alolt, as if grasp
ing after thunderbots.
lie drew picture of murder in such
appalling colors that in comparison, hell
itself might seem beautiful; he painted
the slandcrer 50 black that the sun seemed
black at noonday, when shining on such
a monster. And then fixing both por-
traits on the shrinking Hopkins, fasten-
ed them there forever. The agitation Of
the audience amounted almost to madness.
All at once the speaker descended
from the perious height His voice
walled out for the murdered dead and
living-the beautiful Mary, more bcauti-
full every moment as tears flowed faster,
and, till men wept and sobbed like chill
dren.
He closed by a strange exhortaton to
the jury, and through them to the by
ISLANDERS; the panel, after they should
bring in verdict for the plaintiff not to
offer violence to the defendant, however
richly he might deserve tin other
words not to lynch the villain but to
leave his punishment to God. This was
the most artful trick of all. and the best
calculated to insure vengeance.
The jury rendered verdict of fifty
thousand dollars; and the night after
ward Hopkins was taken out Of his bed
by the lyuchers and beaten almost to
death.
AS the court adjourned the stranger

in the form of sublime words even ap-
proximating to the eloquence of John
Taylor, massive as mountain, and wild
ly rushing as a cataract of fire.

An Oriental Story.

An old Oriental story relates that one
day, Moolla Museerodeen, in a mosque,
assembled the desk, and thus addressed
his audience -
40, children of the Faithful, do you
know what l am going to say?" They
answered, "No." Well, then" replied
he, Il it is no use for me to waste my
time on so stupid set of people !! and
saying this, he came down and dismissed
them. Next. day he again mounted the
desk, and asked go, true Mussulmans,
do ye know what am going to say? y
" We do," said they. Then" replied
he, "tAere is uo need for me to tell you"
And again he let them go. The third
time his audience thought they would
catch hia, and on putting the usual ques-
tion, they answered, I" Some of us do,
and some of us. don't" Well, then,"
replied he, "let those who know tell
those who do not"

raising calves. Good, strong calves are
the first thing, Feed two or three weeks
on new milk, then put little oat meal in
and increase according to age. When
grass is good turn them out or cut grass
for them. Have usually weaned calve.

way which is to feed as long as VIC have

Dear Brother
Not having heard from you for many months;
I venture to write you again. have not mitch
news to write, Unless give tou little history
of the Silver Mines now beihg developed ahd
worked in Utah Territory.
Since last August the excitement has been in
creasing daily. I did not start out until late.
We have formed one Company, Of which am
President, and we are opening two Lodes, Z"
and preparing for operations in the spring. l
have visited the mining districts, and know
whereof speak, and can say that the precious
metals slumbering in the ground there is yond
conception; like the Diamond fields Of Africa, it
is ineIhaustible. Besides the Rawlns Mining
Company, I am interested in several other
claims. have Jared very rough since have
been in this scountry, and if I can make a raise"
now, think can stand til an willing to
chahoc II, anyway.
| still hold my position on the r. r., Assist
ant Sup't of Buildings and WaterworEs, and
my position gives me an opportunity to watch
the chances.
There is every indication, and predict there
will be the greatest emigration Of the
Gentle population to Utah Territory in the
spring there ever has been. People can now
make the trip from the States to the Territ,ry
in three or four days, whe ress in days past, in
bull team transportation times, it used to take
five and six months to make the trip.
The opening of the mines will "p'ay smash
with the Mormons, for the people operating in
them defy the Mormon usuages. In days gone
by when all other things failed, the unfortunate te
ones who incurred their displeasnre were turned
over to the "Danites destroying angels, -
but that day has past, and they dare not exert
their former application to subdue the more in
dependent spirits. There are thousands of the
Mormon apostatng monthly, the rising genera
tion cspeciallyi the female portion are opposed
to the system of polygamy. and many Of the
more intelligent ones declare they will never
marry until they can leave the T,rritory.-
Brigham, the old rcprobate! has lost his pres,
tige, his day has gone by and he can never again
recall his former ruling power.
Yours, A. IT, SEELEY.

The exercises of Wednesday evening
consisted OF orations and essays from stu
dents in both courses, including the men,
bers of the graduating class. Many of
the pieces were of a high ordca, and all
were listened to by large and highly ap,
prcciative audience. The certificates of
graduation we're presented by DR.. French
after brief, but very impressive address,
in which he spoke of the noblencss of the
teachers vocation, the desirabilty of
making it 4 paramount one, and urged the
members of the class not to rest satisfied
with present attainmsnts, but to press on
to those still higher, and thus the better
prepare themselves for their noble and re-
sponsible wo,k.
Excellent music was furnished for the
occasion by Davis Orcestra from Troy.
After the exercises the graduates OF
the Institution adopted measures for or.
ganizing an associated alumni, and for q
rennion at the close of the next Spring
Term.
The school has been very prosperous
during the past terms. The aggregate
attendance for the year has been 367,
representing ten counties, and about fifty
different towns in the State. That of the
Fall Term has been l75, representing
seven counties and nearly forty different
towns. The attendance for the past year
has been more than three times what ii
ha sduring the first year of its existence,
and for the past term, more than five
times what it WIS for the first fall term.
Of the eighty graduates of the institu.
ton large propotion will be employed
in teaching during the coming winter, and
of the number in attendance during the
Fall Term. about sixty will be engaged
in the same work.
OF the large number of patrons of the
school present on the occasion, from vari
GUS parts Of the Congressional District
we have yet to hear of one who is in favor
of the scheme Of consolidation but OF
the contrary we have heard many express
a most decided opposition to that plan.
The prospects for the winter term arc
very encouraging. There is no doubt bu
these schools will do their full share il
advancing the interests of education
throughout the State.
