tion,l and settle it right, without
any Interference by Congress.
Persecution is the best thing in
the world to propagate religious
error. We should avoid the ap-
pearance of it in this case. All
our statesmen in the past have
avoided any meddling with the
faith or the practices of this pecu-
liar people. This is poor time
to commence it, when the force of
natural laws is for the first time
being felt by the Mormons, and
when they are being brought
within the sphere of wholesome
influences. The best anti-polyga
my.law that was ever passed was
that authorizing the construction
of the Pacific Railroad. If the
measure before Congress passes
it will probably lead to an emigra,
ton of the Mormons to some
island in the far-off Pacific, where
they can make their imposture
mere permanent The hardest
blow we can strike them is to lei
them alone.-I ICincinnatti Enquir

LOVE AND LIFE

Life is ike stately temple
That is founded in the sea,
Whose uprising fair proportions
Penetrate immensity;
Love the architect who builds it,
Building it eternally. -.'."
To me, standing in the Present,
AS one waits beside a grave,
Up the aisles and to the altar
Rolls the Past its solemn wave,
With a murmur as of morning,
Undulating in the nave. o. r
Pallid phantoms glide around me .
In the wrecks of hope and home;
Voices moan among the waters,
Faces vanish in the foam;
Buta peace, divine, unfailing,
Writes its promise in the dome.
Cold the waters where my feet are,
But my heart is strung anew,
Tuned to Hopes profound vibration,
Pulsing all the ether through,
For the seeing souls that ripen
In patience strong and true.
Hark the all-inspiring Angel
OF the Future leads the choir;
All the shadows of the temple
Are all illumed with living fire,
And the bells above are waking
Chimes of indefinite desire.
For the strongest or the weakest
There is no eternal fall; ...
Many graves and many mourners,
But at last-the lifted pail
For the highest and the lowest
Blessed life cOntaineth all.
o thou fair unfinished templei
In unfathOmed sea begun,
Love, thy builder, shapes and lifts
thee
In the glory of the sun;
And the builder and the builded
To the pure in heart-are one.

The Salary Bill Passed.

, Congress was overwhelmed
with business towards the
close of the session. 1t had
so much work to do that it
had to holdsa Sunday session.
1t was SO busy that it hardly
knew what bills to take up
and what ones to lay over
But in the midst Of the be-
wildering rush of work, it
managed to maintain a clear
perception of the bill to in
crease its own pay. The
bill encountered many diff
culties. 1t seemed at one time
lost in the house, but Butler
dug it out of a mass of parlia-
mentary orders and drove it
through. Then it was lost in
the senate. 81 But a conference
committee adjusted the SEN
ate's objections to it, and
when the hurly-burly ended il
was found that the bill had
passed both houses. As il
puts 100000 in the presi,
dents pocket, it is not appre
hended that the president vii
have any stubborn constitu
tional objections to it. 1t
chief merit in the eyes Of rep
resentatives and senators il
that it dates back two year
Z and adds $4,000 to the pay 0
each of them. In this way
the Forty-second congress
avenges itself for the heroi
self-denial in abolishing tn
franking privilege.-[Missour

The following story is told of
the expedient by which a Florida
Judge obtained his confirmation
to Office. 1t was in the ''gOod old

hero was sent to the Senate for
confirmation, and was promptly
rejected. The defeated aspirant

Paorla Using the Boomerang.

Col. Fox, in his address be-,
fore the Anthrcpological Sub
section of the British Associa-
ton, refers to the use of the
boomerang in different coun-
tries, and remarks that he has
traced this primeval weapon of
the Australians to the Dra-
vidian races of the Indian
peninsula and to the ancient
Egyptians; and he states that
all these races have been refer
red by Professor Huxley to the
Australoid stock, and that a
connection between the Aus
tralian and Dravidian Ian
guages has been suggested by
various philologists. '
t. In reply to the objeetionthat
the Dravidian boomerang does
not return, like the Australian
weapon. he states that the re-
turn flights not a matterofsuch
primary Importance as to con-
stitute a generic difference the
utility of the return flight, dne
to the comparative thinness
and lightness of the Australian
weapon, having been greatly
exaggerated. The essential
principle of the boomerang
consists in its bent and fiat
form, by means Of which it can
be thrown with rotary move
ment, thereby increasing the
range and velocity of the ira
lJectory. -.lu GJnu #1li
|. In this connection the recent
discovery by DR.. Edward Palm
fer of the use of the boomerang
among the American Indians
possesses a high interest. This
gentleman, in the course of his
explorations, found this to be
the principal weapon among
the Moqui Indians of Northern
! Arizona and New Mexico,
replacing the gun and the bow
and arrow. 1t is used more
especially in killing rabbits,
the motion by which it is
, thrown for this purpose being
similar to that Of a stone made
+ to skim on the surface. of the
water. At adistance of twenty
five to thirty yards the rabbit is
7 rarely missed, however; rapidly
he may be moving. The ami.
