ARTEMUs WARDS MORMON ENTER
TAINMENT.
WITH SOME CHEERFUL NEW STORIES.
PROGRAMME.
The festivities will be commenced by
the pianist, gentleman who used to
board in the same street with Mr.. Got
schalk. The man who kept the board
house remembers it distinctly. The
overture will consist of medley of
airs, including the touching new bal
lads, 'sDear Sister, is there any Pie in
the House?" "My Gentle Father,
have you any Fine Cut about youP"
''Mother is the battle o'er, and is it safe
for me to come Home from CanadaP''
and (by request of many families who
haven't heard it) "Tramp, Tramp,
Tramp, the Boys are marchingi''
While the enraptured ear drinks in
this sweet music 1--WE pay our pianist
nine dollars week and "find him''),
the eye will be enchanted by the magnif-
icent green baize covering Of the Pan
Drama. This green baize costs 40 cents
yard. We shall keep up with the
times, if we spend the last dollar our
friends have got.
Appearance of Artemus Ward, who
will be greeted with applause. ETThe
ushers are particularly requested to at
tend to this.-@a When quiet has been
restored, the lecturer will present a
rather frisky prologue, of about ten
minutes in length and of nearly the
same width 1t perhaps isn't necessary
to speak of the depth.
The pictures commences here, the
first one being view of the California
steamship. Large crowds of citizens on
the wharf, who appear to be entirely
willing that Artemus Ward shall go.
"Bless you STRIP they say, 'Don't hurry
about coming back. Stay away for
years, if you want to!'' 1t was very
touching.-At Panama. glance at
Mexico.-The health of Maximilian.
The Angry Pacific. Queer scenes on
shipboard. Storm at Sea, with the
best thunder in town.
The broadway of the Pacific; Mont
gomery street, San Francisco.-The
gold bricks.-Street scenes.-"The Or
phan Hackman or the Mule Drivers
Step Father. THE Chinese Theatre
Sixteen square yards of Chinese
Comic Song.
Virginia City, Nevada.-The thrifty
young metropolis of the new Silver
State.-They shoot great deal, here;
though not much more than they do
this way after all. 1t is unsafe now to
give even the Quietest young man a
pistol. The chances are that he will
shoot his grandfather before night.
The great desert at night. A dreary
waste of sand. The sand isn't worth
saving however. Verses on the lament
ed George Glover, stage driver. Indi-
ans occupying yonder mountains. Lit
tie Injuns seen in the distance truudling
their war whoops.

City, with some entirely serious descrip-
tive talk.
Main street east side. The Salt
House, etc. 1t is a temperance hotel,
in fact, the Main Law is rigidly enforc-
ed in Utah.
She's the most distressfll country that ever
They're imprisonin' men and women there
for sellin' OF the gin.
The Mormon Theatre. Romeo and
Juliet, with ten Juliets. 1t is confus-
ion to Romeo, and when Juliet asks,
'where art thou, Romep" Romy an
whereabouts he's gone to.
Main street, West side. The Coun-
Gil House of the Territorial Legislature
Can't think of anything funny to say
about this. In fact Legislatures never
are funny.
Brigham Young's Harem. Mr..
Young is an indulgent father, and a
numerous husband. For further par
ticulars call on the lecturer at City Hall
ON Tuesday evening, October 31,-This
paragraph is intended to unite business
| with amusement.
Heber G. Kimball's Harem. We
have only to repeat here the pleasant
remarks above in regard to Brigham.
INTERA1ssIoN.
EAn intermission of five minutes
will occur here, so that the lecturer can
go across the street to ''see man. -
The pianist, however, will meanwhile
practice some new music-8
The Tabernacle. The great Mormon
meeting-house, where the Elders and
Youngers mislead the congregations and
Mrs Smith leads the choir.
The Temple as it is: Not much of a
picture, though the audience can have
a carte de risite of it if they insist on
it.
The Endowment House. The Nor
mon is initiated into the mysteries OF
his faith here, which is pretty much all
we know about it.
Echo Canon. A sick looking picture
beside that of Mr.. Bierstadt, but per
haps it will do. 1t was the best they
had in the store.
The Desert again. A more cheerful
