FAIRS CAUCUS.


Last night after the Fair caucus met there
was O large crowd in the lobby anxiously
waiting for the result. The members we're
carefully counted as they went in, and after
the door was closed the word was passed
along the hall that the caucus had been
broken.
For once Fair was short on stock, and the
men who were scurrying around trying to
fill met with no encouraging results. In
about an hour one man, Ballinger, was
found, and soon afterwards it was an
nounced that Fair had been elected unani-
mously.
WASH QUOTATION.
Fair was sent for and was escorted to the
room by six henchmen As soon as he got
inside the rail careful count was made
and but 80 mon were present. After the
caucus here was scramble to Fairs, snd
the wine flowed freely. After the caucus
all sorts of rumors were atioat, and the eau

The First Mormon, Marriage.

The first "celestial marriage"
occurred by stealth on the bank Of
the Mississippi river, near Nauvoo,
Ill. Joseph Smith "sesled" to
James Noble a second wife. No
ble's first wife soon died OF broken
heart, and the second wife went
insane and. also died. When
Smith married Noble the latter al
so married Smith to second wife.
The first Mrs. Smith clung to the
prophet until mob killed him,
and then married a Gentle, and
at last accounts was still living at
Nauvoo. In defense of polygamy
the examples OF Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David and
Solomon are cited. In corrobora-
ton of the Boot Of Mormon we
are pointed to the buried cities OF
Palenvue and Uxmal in Central
America F; to the mounds in the Mis-
sissippi valley, and to other WELL
known vestiges Of a prehistoric
race. When a good Mormon dies
who has "lived up TO his religion"
and has had a dozen or two wives
and fifty or sixty children, he does
not become a mere angel, like an
ordinary Christian; he becomes a
god, with a world of his own to
reign over. A Mormon wife who
opposes the polygamous marriage
of hel husband goes to hell and is
destroyed" A Mormon who
obeyS the mandates Of the Church
in most respects but neglects to 20
into polygamy becomes a mere an
gel, who must BE- a kind Of celes-
tial servant 10 the gods Of other
angels. His wife must share in
the same humiliating fate. The
doctrine OF "blood atonement" is
simply this: That III an apostate' S
throat is cut, the spilling of his
blood upon the ground will save
his soul. II he is left TO die Il ma
tural death his soul will go 10 hell.
A great many apostate souls have
been saved in Utah. This, in sub
stance, is the Mormon religion.

Looking Domn the Chimney.


1t is said that a man who looked
down his neighbor's chimney to
see what he was cooking Tor sup
per, not only did not find out. but
was nearly blinded by smoke.
When you hear men say, ~ have
watched those who profess so much
religion, and | don't see that they
are any better than those who do
not make such a high profession, "
depend upon il they have got
smoke in their eyes, and those
whose eyes are full Of smoke can
not see very clearly. Denomina-
tional smoke is about the most
binding smoke We know OF. and
prevents the gospel from taking
hold Of the masses more than any
other agency. Were we to sit
down by our neighbor's fire occa-
sionally, instead Of looking down
his chimney, we should see many
good points in his character thai
smoke wilINsurely obscure.

II is just the easiest thing in the
world. but like most things, there
is a right and wrong way TO do IL.
The right way to stop your paper
is to send the amount due for the
time you have taken It, and ask
the publisher to discontinue IL.
The wrong way Is to take the pa
per from one TO five years and
then get your postmaster to return
Il. before you have paid for Il. Al
ways pay for your paper before
you decline taking 4 out Of The
posiofiice. II looks much more

NATURES UNDERTAKES.

How often do We hear the query,
"What becomes of all the dead
birds" The secret Of their mys-
terious disappearance was but Just
now half told by the buzz Of those
brown wings, and the other half is
welcome TO any one who will take
the trouble to follow their lead.
This beetle is one of mans incal-
culable benefactors. II is his mis-
sion to keep fresh and pure the air
we breathe. He is the sexton that
takes beneath the mould not only
the fallen sparrow, but the mice,
the squirrels, and even much larg-
er creatures that die in our woods
and fields.
Beneath that clump of yarrow /
found just what ! had expected
a small dead bird-and the grave
diggers were in the midst OF their
work. Already the rampant OF
fresh earth was raised around the
body, and the cavity was growing
deeper with every moment, as the
busy diggers cxcavated the turf be-
meath.
Now and then one would emerge
on a tour Of inspection, even rum
maging among the feathers of that
silent throat, and climbing upon
the plumy breast to press down the
little body into the deepening
grave.
These nature-burials are by no
means rare, and where the listless
eye fails to discover them the nos
tril will often indicate the way,
and to any one desirous Of witness
ing the operation, without the
trouble Of search, it is only neces-
sary to place in some convenient
spot Of loose earth the carcass OF
some small animal. The most
casual observer could not fail soon
to be attracted by the orange
spotted beetles. Entomologists
assert that these insects are attract.
ed by the odor Of decay; but from
my own humble Investigations
have never been able TO fully re.
concile myself to this theory.
II il were the question of odol
alone in this dead bird, for in.
stance, il would be difficult TO ex.
plain the bee-line flight Of these
humming beetles, two Of whicl
came swiftly toward me even from
the direction ofthe wind, and drop
ped quickly upon these feather
hidden from sight among the grass
Perhaps in such an instance W,
might imagine that they had beef
theie before, and knew the way
that they had noted this clump o
yarrow, maybe but have observ
ed the fact before when there wa
every reason to believe that n
such previous visit had been made
] am always glad Of the oppor
tunity to watch the progress o
these meadow burials. And ha'
you accompanied me on tina, morn
ing walk, you would have locke
with interest at those little under
takers--scen that feathery bod
toss and heaYe with strang
mockery oflife as the busy sexton
worked beneath il, digging wit
their spiked thighs, shovelling OF
the loose earth with their brda
heads, and pulling down the bod
into the deepened cavity.-Wn

Here is how a brother journalist
puts it: We presume that some
people think that newspaper men
are persistent 'duns let a farmer
place himself in a similar business
position and see il he would not do
the same. Suppose that he raises
one thousand bushels Of wheat,
and his neighbor should come and
buy a bushel, and the price was
only the small sum Of two dollars
or less, and the neighbor says, III
will pay you the amount in a few
days" As the farmer did not
waat to be small about .he matter,
he says "all right" Another
comes in the same way, until the
whole of the thousand bushels Of
wheati. trusted out to one thou
sand different persons, and not one
Of the purchasers concerns himself
about 1t, Tor II Is a small amount
that he owes the farmer. and OF
course that would not help him
any. lie does not realize that the
farmer has trifcd away his large
crop Of wheat, and its value Is due
him In a thousand little driblets
asd that he is seriously embarrass.
ed in his business because his debt.
ors treat II as a little matter. But
If oil would pay him promptly
which they could do as well as not
1t would be a very large amour
to the farmer and enable him 4
carry on his business without dif
ficulty. The above comparison !,
too true OF the difficulties thai IN
newspaper man has to conien,
with.
