WHAT rs DEATH 2
RY REV. c. ]. FEITT, A. N,

What Is death The answer, brother,
All depends 10 whom addressed
Whether maid with stricken lover,
Or a slave with chain oppressed.
If the former, like Clemantha,
In the legend sweet and old,
She may look beyond the shadows,
OF this life so dark and cold.
Far beyond the orient meadows,
In his march Of life sublime,
She may there behold her lover,
As he triumphs over time;
If the latter-then the fetters
That have bound his spirit fast,
Like soft cords are snapped asunder,
And his soul is free at last
What is death? Oh. ask the weary,
And for rest he longs and slghs.
For the green fields and the fountains,
OF his home beyond the skies;
And like John on PatmOs Island,
He beho!ds the skies agleam,
As he climbs the shining mountains
Far beyond deaths sullen stream.
What is death? Go ask the mourner,
With her heart so crushed and sad,
Turning from the grave with sorrow,
Where she buried all she had.
Holy wOman What an answer,
Throbhing with your burning breath,
Would you give In such an hour,
To our questiOn-what is deathP
What is DEATH Oh, chlldless mother,
BE your answer just and true,
Look Into your empty cradle,
Kiss the little tootless shoe;
Gather all the tender playthings
That the baby loved so WELL
And your answer give me, mother
What is deathf I pray you, tell.
Ahl Too well l know your answer,
As you sit and fondly dream
or the angel up In heaven,
Sale across the bridgeless stream.
Death is but the mystic gardener,
Who with kindest heart of love,
Took the little bud to blossom
In the garden up above.
Death Is gain; and in our living,
Faith may hold all doubts at bay;
Knowing, we may know much better,
When the mists have cleared away.
On the mountain summit standing,
Morn shall break upon our night,
Opening wide the gates of splendor,
Shutting death from human sight!

WORDS OF WISDOM.


No man can ever rise above that at which he
aims.
There can be no true pleasantly without dis.

The greatest homage we can pay TO truth Is to
use It.

Nothing gives more sympathy to the voice

The more honesty man has, the less he affects

|. DECENT REAppORTIONMENT.

1t is expected that the. incoming Leg
islature of the State Of New York
will set to rights some gross and
unseemly gerrymandering tricks OF the
Republican bodies that preceded it.
That this will be done in a spirit of fair
ness and business is confidently expected.
The State is to be reapportioned for rep
resentatives in Congress according to
the census Of 1880. Though the census
tables were not then completed, the Re-
publican Legislature of last Winterwould
have strained a point, and redistricted
the State for Congress, had they not got
into a quarrel over the election of the
successors of Conkling and Platt. If
the State had been apportioned. last
Spring according to the rule of our
friends, the measure would have been
grossly partisan. In the a~pportionment
of 1879 by the Republican Legislature,
New York and Kings Counties were al
lowed but one-fourth of the members
when they compose one-third of the popu-
lation. The Constitution having been
violated in depriving these counties of
two Senators and seven Assemblymen, it
becomes the duty Of the Democrats to
rectify the great wrong done them by q
Republican Legislature.

GUITEAu,S

The scenes which occurred in the
Courtroom at Washington during the
trial Of Guiteau are of an extraordinary
and most unseemly character, and judg-
ing from the reports, they seem to have
been tolerated by the Bench with an I'M
due degree Of forbearance. Guiteau's
mind may be unhinged, but he is not so
insane that he cannot be made to under.
stand that in a court of law decorum
must be maintained. He ought to be
taught by the exercise of all the stern
ness that may be necessary that it is for
him in his position to be silent until at
the proper time the Court gives him per-
mission to speak. 1t looks very much as
though he were feigning madness. He
is straining too much in his ~endeavor to
prove himself insane. His constant in
terruptions in Court, his continual at
tempts to thrust forth his vagaries, seem
rather the acts of a man who has delib-
erately planned his line Of action than
the insane ramblings Of a monomaniac.
The more this wretch attempts to make
the public believe him insane the more
firmly he succeeds in establishing his
sanity.

LACKmAILINs

This is a vice not native to American
soil. It shows its vile shape here, how
ever, occasionally. 1t is gratifying to
feel assured that the last notable black
mailer who has come to the surface is
going to get all that the law can intiict
ON such scoundrels. Jay Gould is not a
pleasant person to trifie with under any
circumstances; he has a practical way OF
looking at things which concern his in
terests, and therefore it is likely that
Colonel Welles, as he calls himself, may
find that his threats of assassination I'M
der inspiration will lead to serious con-
sequences, so far as his personal liberty
and comfort are concerned. For the
welfare of the community at large, it is
fortunate that this latest specimen OF the
inspired crank selected as his object a
man who does not, in the language OF
the street, scare worth a cent, since it is
important that somebody should begin
to bear down heavily on this self-delusion
mania and thus prevent it from becoming
epidemic. Mr.. Gould is understood to
have said that he will use his utmost
eldeayors to secure the punishment Of
his epistolary assailant, and he is en-
phatically a man of his word. There is
sound probability hat the case of
Colonel Welles will be a terror to
the assassination l~unatics of the period.

A
A Syndicate TO Control 'the Com.
stOek Mines.

n syndicate TO C0mtr0i the com.
stock Mines.
A C~arsonite who had been spending some
time in San Francisco returned home with
an astounding bit of intelligence. He stated
to the Appeal reporter that n evening last
week, while a guest at the Union Club at a
time when champagne corks were popping
at a lively rate, a noted heavy capitalist for
whom one cork too many had p~opped-but
just enough to put him in a confidential
frame Of mind-told him that the most
powerful syndicate ever formed in modern
times is now being formed in New York to
control most of the Comstock mines from
Utah to Silver Hill. In connection with
which it was asserted hat Mackay returned
from Europe for no other purpose than to
assist in furthering the scheme. The
amount to be subscribed by the syndicate
is fixed at $500, 600, 900, and such men as
Belmont, the Lorillards, Astors, W. a..
Vanderbilt, Cyrus w: Field, and others Of
q like financial caliber, are mentioned as
being interested in the venture. The
| funds are not to be devoted to the further
development Of the Comstock lode, but
rather to the manipulation Of the bulk
Of the stock that is now afioat,
which is evidently to be thrown upon the
London, Partisan, Berlin and Vienna
markets, and bulled until it is clear out Of
sight. A part Of this syndicate's pro-
gramms is said to be to get control OF as
much Of the stock of the north end and
middle mines as possible, for which pur-
pose, it is intimated, values are being de-
pressed by the aid of the Nevada Bank.
When all the stock required by this powerful
syndicate is purchased and securely locked
up, then the uncovering Of large bodies Of
ore, which could have been done q year
ago, will be the next step to allure the
European gudgeons, who will, by proper
Misrepresentation, be induced in most
instances to pay the par value of the
~veriest wild cats. II this scheme proves
successful the chances are that within a
twelvemonth the large European capitals
will be drained OF their specie and the
New York syndicate will control the fnan-
ces Of the world.
This is possibly one of the pleasing ro-
mances Of our ~sprightly bohemian friend
Otto Greenwood Of the Carson Appeal. But
who can say that he has not found the key
to the situation on the Comstock

THE LAWS DELAY.

We are reminded by the pending trial
Of Lieutenant Flipper, for official mall
feasance, of the fact that the decision
reached by the court-martial which sat
in Judgment upon Whitaker has not yet
been published, although it is six months,
more or less, since the Court adjourned.
1t is perhaps of no great consequence,
but the trial Of Whitaker consumed a
great deal of time and cost a relatively
large sun Of money. The public might
as well be put in possession of the re-
suits. Besides, if the court-martial has
found, after hearing thousands OF pages
of evidence, that Whitaker cut his own
ears, we ought to know it, if only in
justice to the West Point boys.

INVENTION.
A Protection to the Crowns of Thos
I'm Missionary Work.

A Protection to the Crowns OF Those
I'm Missionary Work.
For some weeks past a young man in
Salt Lake has been ct work, says Sam Davis,
on an invention which will prove very USE
full for Mormon missionaries who are COM
PEELED to preach in foreign countries. It
consists Of a helmet, which is 90 arranged
that it protects the wearer from Stops, rot
ten eggs and blows from canes. The he'll
met is similar to the head gear worn by
the fire jakeys OF New York, with some de-
cided improvements. Around the bottom
OF 1t is a sort OF gutter ending in a pipe,
which collects and carries away the slops
thrown upon the head. With this protec.
ton a missionary can keep right on preach
ing even though the windows above him
were filed with people emptying Stops on
his head. Instead OF the slops wetting the
preacher. they are carried behind him by
the pipe, where they eventually fall on the
wrong person. The helmet Is also provid-
ed with q visor which can be lowered when
rotten eggs are coming too thickly from
the front; there Is also q cape to protect the
shoulders from showers Of garbage from
behind. The upper part Of the helmet is
OF steel, padded inside, and warranted to
protect the head from sticks, bricks and
other weapons, so much in vogue where
Mormon missionaries attempt to preach.
A few days ago q model OF the invention
was shown to John Taylor, who expressed
his unqualified admiration Of its merits.
He ordered g dozen for the tramps who
started out yesterday and gave the young
inventor an idea Of a complete suit Of
armor which he thought would be an abso.
