A special dispatch frsm Salt Lake
City, Utah, ssys: Since the reception
here Of the substance OF President
Hayes's message there has naturally
been free expression Of opinion on the
recommendation therein contained Tor
the extinction Of polygamy, but up to
last Sunday afternoon, during the Nor
mon conference held at Provo, near
Lake Utah, 80 miles from thiscity, no au-
thoritativs declaration Of the Io'icy OF
the Mormon Church could be heard.
One, however, was then proclaimed, and,
that there may be no cavil from Nor
mon sources about misreprese I. lon OF
1t, | quote the language used on that
occasion by Apostle John Taylor, the
actual head OF the Mormon Church,
from i,s Official organ, the Deseret
News" which reports that "he then
touched upon the political rights Of the
people In their connection With the gov
eminent Of the nation, the laws Of which
should b. obsyed and its officers re-
speoted; yet there was a principle IL
connection with our social life-one OF
the greatest principles advanced bv the
Lord for the COED OF the human family
with which one Of the laws OF the land
was at variance.
We know that the Lord has trans
mitted the law Of plural marriages
through His holy priesthood. ! know
n and all the decrees and edicts of the
world cannot change my mind. de
contrasted the course OF certain King
when Daniel was cast into the den OF
lions and that Of President Hayes when
asked to pardon one ofour brethren, but
then that King was q heather and the
latter a Christian. This question re-
garding our religious belief has been
decided by the courts, and the laws OF
God are at variance with them, which
shall We obeyi Here the speaker called
upon the congregation to manifest BY
raising their right hands II they were
iu favor Of obsying the laws Of God IN
this respect, which call was unani-
mously responded to by the congrega'
ton" From this expression Of the
Apostle President Of the church (and 1t
certainly wishes the world to believe
him) he unquestionably talks hg ut.
This controversy now is simply reduced
to the point, which shall prevail, the
laws OF the United States or alleged
revelations Of God to the Mormon priest
hcoi.
II NAV be well in this connection
to remind the readers OF the her
aid" that in July, 1850, at Bou-
! logns, Franc, John Taylor publicly d.
MED that polygamy existed among the
Mormons. In pamphlet printed by
TAYLOR and his associates, giving a re-
port Of the discussion at Boulogne, Tay-
ior uses the following words 1--WE are
accused here Of polygamy and actions
the most indicate, obscene and dls-
gushing. These things are too out
rsgeous to admit Of belief, and there
fore | shall content myself by reading
our views Of chastity and marriage from
work published by US containing
some of the articles Of our faith" lie
thereupon read an extract from the
"Book Of Doctrine" as follows: I'm
asmuch as this church has been re-
preached with the crime Of fornicat,or
and polvgamy, we declare that we be-

The shrewdness and business ca
pacity that have made the Yankee
the first of traders, and promise to
turn this country into the work
shop of the world, received a hap
~ and striking illustration the
other day. The scene was here
abouts, the characters a rising
young merchant and pretty wom-
an. He bad an affection for her,
she a liking for him, so they be-
came betrothed. After a while she
found ont that she didn't love him
well enough to marry him, and the
match was broken off. 1t was a
severe blow, and he staggered I'M
der it; but he fought well for him
self, protested that his life was ru-
ined, asked if she could not learn
to love him, and in all ways did the
proper thing. She was immovable,
however, and he sadly and reluct-
antly took his leave. While his
eyes were full of gathering tears he
babe his faltering farewells, then
closed the door upon his hopes. A
moment later he opened it, stepped
back into the room, and, with tears
in his voice, brokenly murmured,
IL hope this will make 10 differ
ence about you coming to the store,
Miss -; and that your mother
will continue to trade with us. II
shall be happy to give the usual
discount. Our stock is large and
varied, our aim to please" And
he door shut finally, leaving him
ilone with his grief.

The Mysteries Of n Lump Of
COaI.

For years no one supposed that a
lump of soft coal, dug from its
mine or bed in the earth, possessed
any other purpose than that of fuel.
1t was next found that it would af-
ford gas which was combustible.
Chemical analysis proved it to be
made of hydrogen. In process of
time mechanical and chemical in
genuity devised mode of manu-
featuring this gas, and applying it
to the lighting of buildings and
cities on large scale. In doing
this, other products of destillation
were developed, until, step by step,
the following ingredients are ex-
tracted from it:
l. An excellent oil to supply
lighthouses, equal to the best sperm
oil, at lower cost.
2. Benzole-a light sort of ethe-
real fluid. which evaporates easily,
and, combined with vapor or moist
air, is used for the purpose of port
able-gas lamps, so-called.
3. Naptha-a heavy fluid, useful
to dissolve gutta-percha, India rub
Der, etc.
4. An excellent oil for lubricat-
ing purposes.
5. Asphaltum, which is a black
solid substance, used in making
varnishes, covering roofs, and COW
ering over vaults.
6. Paraffine-a white crystalline
substance, resembling white wax,
which can be made into beautiful
wax candles it melts at temper
ature of 10 degree, and affords an
excellent light. All these sub
stances are made from soft coal.

Mineral Wax.

The most wonderful mineral dis.
covery yet made is that of immense
beds of mineral wax in southern
Utah and Arizona, and in the Sier-
ra Madre mountains, about fifty
miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Cal. 1t is the same as the Zietris-
kisite, or the Romanian mineral
wax. 1t differs from parafine, by
being insoluble in ether, and in
other respects. 1t is a snow white,
resinous substance, softer and light
er than chalk, and burns with great
brilliancy till consumed, leaving no
ashes. In European countries this
curious and valuable mineral is
found in small quantities; but in
America it is found in beds said
to be as much as twenty feet in
thickness, and extending over many
square miles.
