PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
HIGH ST. CHURCH.

HIGH ST. CHURCH.
Rev. Walter NJ Barrows of Salt Lake
spoke at High st. Church yesterday morning.
1t was expected, and he was advertised to ap-
pear. at the Second Parish. In the evening he
addressed large congregation at State st.
Church Mr.. Barrows is an earnest speaker,
with clear enunciation and good voice that
can be distinctly heard in any part of the
church Messrs. Hincks and Fem occupied
the platform with him.
Mr.. Barrows has been long resident of
Salt Lake and the Rocky Mountain region
lie said he han travelled throughout Eastern
Europe and Western Asia and had found that
colleges had materially assisted missionaries
In their work. He spoke of the valuable
work accomplished by Robert College in the
east, and America cannot fail to have voice
through that institution in the future in
regard to the Eastern question. His idea was
that Utah wanted assistance from the educated
East to establish the Christian church, and an
academy in which to educate the Mormon
children, who would in time be the men and
women of Utah, in the Christian religion and
thus overthrow Mormonism. He said Utah
was rich in mineral resources, but at present,
while paying money out of the territory for
industries supplied to the territory, it must
have outside help to establish and support
their academy. There is no danger in going
to Utah. Before the railroads the Mormons
were secure. They could defy the United
States. Now they are trying to gain their
point by legislation. They would bride Con-
gressmen and have Utah admitted as state,
then under state rights they can prevent
public schools. AS territory the National
Government appoints the principal officers and
the Mormons are powerless. Mormonism can
not be put down without better laws. Nor
mons should not sit on juries in cases where
the peculiar Mormon tenets are involved Laws
should be enforced by healthy local sentiment
and that can only be created through churches
and schools. The Mormon mothers see their
children must be educated to compete with
Gentle children. The beginning of the good
work at Salt Lake is in the academy there.
The principal is Prof Benner, a man peculiar
ly adapted to the work. He has two teachers
under him and 100 pupils, half of the latter
Mormons. Help is needed to pay his salary
He closed with a glowing appeal to the
women OF the land to help to lift their sisters
from their degradation through the latter's
children

Too Many Hogs and Too Little Corn.

Mr.. Ben Perley Poore, the CORE
spondent of the Boston Journal, in @
recent communication, gives the follow
ing fresh anecdote of President Lin
coin: "The pertinacity with which
offices are sought here was very annoy
ing to odd Abe One day a clerk in
the War Department, who had been
sent previously on errands to the White
House, availed himself of the oppor-
tunlty to ask n place in the Treasury
Department for brother who had been
in District volunteer regiment for
thirty days. Has your brother as good
clerical capacity as yourself?' inquired
Mr.. Lincoln. Yes, SIR I think your
father also holds an Officer Yes, sir
he is chief of the division of the War
Department in which I am clerk.
And haven't you another brother who
is clerk?' Yes, sir; he is in the De-
partment of the Interior 'Ah!' con-
tinued Mr.. Lincoln, three of one fam
lily already in office, and now you want
to get fourth in. Why, as we say out
in Sangamon county, Ill, there are too
many hogs and too little corn The
young man didn't wait for more elabor-
ate explanations.

How He EIuded the Highwaymen.

At a small Edinburgh theater where
the tastes of the patrons were kept
Agratified by the production of speci-
mems of the rip-roaring, blood-and-
thunder drama, play was one night
brought out with some considerable
scenic effect. A certain scene repre-
scented the flight of nobleman from a
band of robbers. According to the
story, his Lordship concealed himself in
a hollow log. AT the appointed time
the nobleman rushed from the wings
into the forest and crawled into the log.
The stage was very small, and the fugi-
tive very tall. He could not accommo-
date his proportions to the log, and the
result was his feet protruded nearly to
the footlights. Amid a great deal of
banging and shouting the highwaymen
came running on, the leader stumbling
oyer the exposed feet and falling to the
ground. Rising instantly, not at all
Disconnected, and duly oblivious as to
the actual cause of his fall, at which the
audience was in roar, he exclaimed, in
his most tragic style, with his eyes roll
ing and pistol in air: "By 'evings, e
AS heluded husl" A storm of applause
greeted the line.-LotisuiIe Courier.

A Dangerous Torpor.

Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys is serious
~ dangerous to those organs, since it is the
precedent of diseases which destroy their sub
stance and endanger life. This sluggishness
may be overcome by stimulating them, not ex-
cessively, but moderately, all effect produced
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a general invig-
GRANT and Alternative, possessing diuretic proper
ties OF no common order. The impetus which
this admirable medicine gives TO their evacu-
alive function counteracts any tendency to con-
gestion which may exist in their tissues Both
they and their associate organ the bladder, are
lnvigorated as well AZ gently stimulated by the
Bit,ers, which oxerts kindred influence upon
the stomach, liver and bowels, and, by strength
ening the system, enables il to withstand ma
larial epidemics, TO which when exposed il
might otherwise succumb.

THEOLOGICAL students reason that IL there he
counterfeit money, there muet be genuine: go,
if there be inlidels, there must also be Chris
tans. If this be true of money and religion,
will not the same rule apply to "put up" medi-
cines! Do not the cheap and worthless nos
trums prove that there are genuine and meri-
torious put mp medicines. The great popu-
laIity of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has resulted in the manufacture of many shoddy

vertise, success depends upon merit In South

There is always some one on the
train to make people feel happy. Fol
instance, there was gentleman who
] had a bottle of homemade wine, and he
couldn't get the cork out. We have
never seen n man in distress but there
were noble souls that would sacrifice
themselves to assist him. One man
offered a knife, and, after the blade had
been broken and left in the cork, he
subsidized. Everybody looked fora an Al
derman to get cork screw, but there were
few Alderman there, and they unfort-
unately had their sociable clothes on.
The conductor was appealed to, but he
only asked what they took him for, and
looked offended. 1t was noticed that
there was q bad crowd In the rear car,
and so boy, who desired to be a mes
senger, was given little practice. He
was told to go into the back car and
find Senator Hide, and borrow his cork
screw. Senator Hide is Methodist
deacon, and he was seated by the side
OF good Baptist lady, and they were
talking of prospective revival in the
good work to which they had both en-
listed for life When very much inter-
ested in each others remarks, the boy
pulled the elbow of Senator Hide, and
said "A gentleman in the other car
wants to borrow your cork-screw." If
an earthquake had quaked right there,
if the adjoining field through which the
train was running had opened and
swallowed up every man on the train
that had pass, Elder Hide could not
have appeared more thunderstruck.
The smile that is stereotyped on his
face, and which SO nearly resembles that
of Colfax, broke out in a new spot, and
looked ms though it was sick, and, though
he attempted to explain to the truly,
good lady that it was a joke, she looked
panied, as though she had lost all conf
dence in men. Elder Hide got up and
called the boy out on the platform, and
what he did is not known, though it is
rumored that the section hands found a
bob-tailed boys coat on the track, and
Il number of trinkets usually carried by
boys. And there was one boy less APP
plying for position this year.-Peck's
