Two train loads, or twcnty-three
cars loaded with Mormons and their
ba ggage passed through the city to-
day enroute to Salt Lake. They were
principally Danes, with, a liberal
sprinkling of Swedes, Welch, few
Germans and some French. They
not fully up to the average in intelli-
gcncc and personal appearance. The
women were either past middle age,
orvery homely, generally, and but
few good looking girls were with the
crowd. The men were a hard look
ing lot, and with but few exceptions
were of that class who could be driv-
en- about as tractablea as dogs. They
were under the charge ola dignitary
of the Mormon church, who directed
matters with as much authority as
tltongh lie owned the whole batch.
They were packed in the cars like
sartlines in box, and had stopped to
rest only one day since they left the
old country. They seemed to be a
l.spiritlcss, worried class of humanity.

Circunacision Day.


Saturday was in mere than ono sense q
notable occasion, as in addition to the cee.
bration of the New Yssr's Day, It also holst
a high rank In the calendar of the Roman
Catholic Church. Eight days after the

in Holy Writ, he was taken TO the temple,
and there ctrcumcissd according to the. rites
and usages of the Jewish law. The festival
is celebrated in the Roman Catholic Church
es under the title, |" Circsn,sisco Dspdns;'
1t is ALSO a day of indulgence, the priest
wearing white vestment in the mass. 80
ON Saturday last the Catholic Churches
throughout the city, also few of the Epis-
copal ones, we're opened for Divine service,
and many of them largely attended by
their respective congregations, to partici
pate In the sacred observance of the days
ritual festival, which should be thought by
all TO be one of obligation.
On this day were born seven saints, mslo
and female, who have especial mention and
honor given to them In the Roman calendar.
The ca'lect of the Blessed Virgin, Mary,
with these words, "Ol God, who be the
fruit full" was sung in the churches on Sat
u.day morning, as q mark Of reverence to
her who bore in her womb, the future Sa-
vior Of the world.

deteeted below, and the family rushed up

ened away was diamond studded gold
