ton. 1t has tendency to become that
mere mouth.honor and breath which
the heart, as Macbeth says, would fain
deny; q game Of words, dress coat, q
shadow Of amiability, a sesame never to
be forgotten before the doors OF society,
but out of mind and repeated to no pur-
pose when one is at home. ''Too polite
to be honest" is q well.known Norman
proverb, which may have affected the
expression of welcome to Belmont given
by Portia to Antonio:
1t must appear in other ways than words.
Therefore scant this breathing courtesy.
The courtesy of all times has been,
perhaps, in this sense more than half
unreal. The story Of the Spaniard Oft:
ering his watch to friend who admired
it is no new one. The friend promptly
accepted the hidalgo's offer, and held out
his hand to receive the golden git.
"Where," then said the Castilan, with
extreme hauteur, replacing bis watch in
his waistcoat pocket, "where, Senior,
is your politeness3 That which l in
courtesy offered to you, you were bound ,ua
BY that same courtesy to refuse" This
kind of civility may be called the beau
ty of the tongue, as Voltaire called true
courtesy the beauty Of the heart. 1t Is
p,nchbeck generosity, which, however
false, has q certain social value. II
conceals unpleasant moral deformities.
When ably assumed, it palliates selfish
ness, IS paint judiciously put on palli-
ates wrinkles. 1t is the polish OF oal
conversational furniture. This i
the kind Of courtesy which DR.. johnson
with his accustomed moroseness OF dis
position, called cant, the noxious weet
which he advised Boswell to eradicate
with all diligence, if not from his speech
at least from his understanding. Ever
the term "compliments," which origin
ally meant all those minor deGcacies o
behavior that may be said to complet'
the virtue Of courtesy, now means YER,

The custom of drinking liquors on
New Years Day has grown into
barbsrism, as it is construed into
license for gentlemen to get drunk on
that day, to indulge in riotous
actions, and to an extent countenances
the idiotic expressions OF beiuddled
intellect. This practice should be
frowned down by ladies', and not
smiled upon. when il would, in time,
be altogether dropped. The youth
who takes a drink little knows to
what extent he will 60, and little
dreams that while he takes the wine

The Concert.

On Monday evening the frat con-
ceit of the series by the Careless
Orchestral Combination, will be given
at the Theatre. Throughout all the
past summer this combination has
kept up a constant practice of the
finest oVertures, and other classical
music, until now. without any pre-.
paratiop, were they called upon, they
could give first class entertainment
upon a moments notice, go to speak.
But since determining to give these
concerts a still more vigorous and
systemic training has been undergone,
the results of which will manifest
themselves on Monday evening. In this
mornings HERALD appears the pro-
grsmme, and upon reference, it will be
found to contain selections from
Well-knoTn and popular composers
such as Balte, Mozart, List, Rossini,
Mendelssohn, Riviere, etc. In order
that any possibility of monotony may
be ohviated, the programme has been
carefully arranged SO that vocal and
instrumental, and solo and concerted
selections will succeed each in a man
ner calculated to produce the most
pleasing effect. a quintelte by Misses
E. OlaWson and NJ. Horne and Messrs.
81. Gardner, II. G. Whitney and B.
F. Chandler; a cornet solo by Marx
Croznn; a piano solo by Miss Belle
Anderson; duet by Misses Clawson snd
Horne; violin solo by Mr.. w. E.
Weihe; a ballad by Mrs. Jos. Siegel,
six orchestral selections and a grand
finale by Croxall's Brass Band, ought
to be sufficient to fill any house. The
performance can conscientiously be
recommended, as the knowledge we
have of those interested in it insures
first-clsss performance, aud the
patrons of the Theatre seldom have an
opportunity of getting 80 good return
for the money invested as is here pre-
scented.
The box Office will be open
this morning for the sale o.
tickets for single nights and fol
the series, and We sincerely hope thu
orchestra will receive the encourage.
ment it deserves. To prevent th'
possibility of the Theatre being colo
the warming commences today ant
will be kept up until after the per
formance, so that those who value
their comfort need have no hesitenc.
in attending.

THE SALIVA SHOOTING.
A Remarkable Case.

DR.. ]. NJ. Benedict, returned from
Saliva on the Sewer, on Thursda.
evening, after visiting the young maj
Taylor who was shot in the head
mention of which was made day o.
two ago. The doctor ststss that th.
ball entered the forehead as near tht
centre as it could possibly, and pass
ing through, entered the brain. The
doctor took out ten pieces of the
skull in the forehead, leaving an
opening about as large az the first
joint of the thumb; he still left loose
piece in il. He did not take the ball
out; in fact he did not attempt to, as
he could not tell in What portion of
the brain It was located, and he did
not think il advisable to attempt to
extract it. The ball was one from a
Coils dragon revolver, and the affair
occurred a week ago last night He
was brought to Provo, where he will
remain under the care of DR.. Pike.
The cause Of the affair is not known.

had done it purposely. but his state

A Brakeman Killed on the C. P.

A terrible accident occurred on the
Central Pacific read near PromontorY
station on Thursday, whereby Mr..
Joseph A. Kelly, q brakeman on the
road, and resident of this city, lost
his life. 1t appears that while walk
ing over a tain of fiat cars, he missed
his footing and fell between the cars,
but as no one saw the accident, il is
impossible to say just how it occurred.
Five cars passed over his body, which
was mangled in q frightful manner,
the head being almost entirely severed
and otherwise horribly mutilated. The
unfortunate man was not missed until
the train reached Promonotory, when
party was sent back to look for
him. The body was at once sent to
this city and taken to Preshsw's

remained until this afternoon, when
the funeral took place. The deceased

STAKE QUARTERLY CON-
FERENCE.
The Salt Lake Assembly Hall.

This morning, at 10 O'Clock, the
quarterly conference of this stake
will convene in the Salt Lake
Assembly Hall. Toe conference
will continues through Sunday, and
meetings will be held in the Hall this
evening, Sunday evening and
perhaps Monday evening This will
be the first opening of the Hall, which,
though still unfinished, is much better
than any other place that could be
had. Fesrs seem to have been enter
tanned that the building would be too
damp, but d visit there yesterday
showed that it was as comfortable as
anyone could desire. A constant fire
has been kept up for a month, until
1t is as warm and dry as well
can be, and even now would be much
healthier ID sleep in than many brick
houses that have been built for ten
years. Therefore, all can rest easy
on this head. The scafoldipg is still
up, and though it attracts from the
appearance, does not render the Hall
less convenient. Benches were being
put in yesterday, while seats have
been arranged in the gallery, SO that
ample accommodation will be al
forded. The furnace and heaters put
in by Mr.. James are in active opera
ton, and the warmth will be evenly
distributed through the building by
mesns of the radiated heaters. Though
by no means completed. some idea of
the great beauty, internally, of the
structure can be conceived, and as it
can be used for many purposes,
ii will be found Just such
a one as has been long needed. When
the building will be exceed
ingly beautiful and convenient.
There is every prospect that the !
conference will be largely attended,
and there will be no Sabbath school |
nor ward meetings on Sun.

in the morning a new Geo. Woods
reed and pipe organ was placed in the
Tenth Ward Meeting House, it having
been raid for by donations of the ward
folks assisted some by proceeds of
parties and a concert-all gotten up
By the choir. The organ, which cost
$275, is one of the few pipe organs IN
use in the territory. and gave the
donors great satisfaction; it was manip-
ulated on the occasion by Mrs. S. a.

man.
In the afternoon the Sunday School
children assembled and enjoyed them
selves in a festive manner-not the
least attraction of which was a free
distribution of candy and buns al
around; there we're nearly 300 children
present. At carly lamplight the
prizes, which the little folks had
earned during the past year by good
attendance, study and behavior, were
given them and every one went home
happy, owing to the generous dispos-
ition of the people living there IL
making up the necessary amount o
funds for the committees.
