decent" place for post-office
The proposed new Post-ofiicc
building, "sepafate and indepen
dent" is a little rough, square box
Just back of the store that has a sa
loon in it, separated by an alley
or gangway, five or six feet wide
and most accessible through the
saloon; but If the gcntler sex OBJ
ject gong through the saloon, they
can go around and slip in the alley
and gam admittance "behind the
curtains !" as il were, where their
ears might be assailed with the
profanity and levity of the practl-
TONERS at the bar" without being
rudely gazed out of countenace.
Now Mr.. Editor, be candid and
give me your opinion of the new
building. Don't you think it was
appropriately namcdy Sexton told
Mr.. Smith in my presence that he
had nothing to do with his (Smiths)
trouble, but in the face Of this as
sertion, the U. s. Post Office inspec-
tor says that the late DR.. J. F.
Davies and T. P. Sexton were the
only ones that knew anything about
1t and bear in mind that T. p Sex
ton built the dog house, so ho says,
for the Post-ofilce, and that before
Mr.. Smith knew. or had any reason
to think, that there wero charges to
be preferred against him.
Yours Truly,

my getting up the petition. the gen

also in many other respects connec-
ted with this affair. Mr.. Smith
requested me to write up the peti.
tion, which l did. but at the same
time, | am perfectly willing for
Sexton to think that | did it on my
own vohtion, for when any one, or
set Of men, throws as much dirt as
this matter bears on its face, con-
slider it an honor for one friend to
vindicate another. The petition
was not misrepresented to ans one,
r. P. Sexton to the contrary, not
withstanding; and no gentlemen
whose name appears on that petit

one authority to sign the same, and

action that l have anything to do
with. regardless of public opinion.
A great many others, in my pres.

A Story about Garland.

While Oh the subject ef Senators,
and therefore also on the subject OF
rum, ! may as well tell new story
on Senator Garland, of Arkansas.
Make no mistake about him, Mr..
Editor. He is a great lawyer-one
OF the two or three real ysbig law
yers IN the Senate. He has always
been a modest man, but whatever
he has had to say he has kaid it as
we'll Us Edmunds, Thurmao ~ even
Don Cameron could say it. How.
ever, that has nothing 90 do with
the story. Garland has always been
a liberal drinker. That is why (or
at least one reason why) be is so
popular in Arkansas, where people
had rather drink with a man than
TO shoot HIM, although not averse
to the latter on certain occasions.
Coming to the Senate Garland kept
up his habits and becsme personal
ly one Of the most pop ular and low.
able mepuop the floor. Everybody
likes hi everybody respects
his integ 70 less than his great
ability. NC took his drinks with
Vest, Thurman, Edmunds, yoor.
hees, Bayard and tho others, and
became also famous as q story teller.
When he came to Washington last
fall he surprised the jolly Senators
by refusing to take drink in one
Of the committee rooms. At once
he had half dozen Senators upon
HIM, guying HIM and begging for
his reasons tor stopping. One ask
ed:" Kidneys, Garland 7" another
said: Had 'em, Garland ?" still
another: "Stomach gone back on
you, Garland 7" and Others asked il
the doctor had made him let up.
He finally answered theuo:
"No, gentlemen" said he, "there &
nothing the matter with me, but I've
stopped. You know we had pret-
ty hot canvass in Arkansas this
summer and ! went all over the
State stumping. Well / saw the

We have just received the pain
iul intelligence OF the death of that
estimable christian lady, Mrs. T. p.
Eskrldge, mother of Mrs. L. J. Nc
Gavock, and Mr.. Ben. Eskrldge, OF
our countt She died at tho resi-
dence of Mr.. John McGavock, at
Nashville, Tenn, on April 90, 1881,
in the list. yea of her age. After
o short and painful illness she fell
a victim to pneumonia, and her re.
mains were conveyed to Natchez,
Miss, there to be inferred by the
side of her husband, Judge 4. p.
Eskrioge, to await the summons OF
the resurrection morn.
Having known Mrs. Eskridge for
a number of years, we can but feel
that the hour of death, to her, was
an hour OF triumph, for "Ilow bless
cd are the righteous when they die" /"
Mrs. Eskridgo was permitted TO
lead long and useful lfe-she was
amiable, kind aad afiectIonate, and
beloved by all who knew her. She
loved the savior with all her heart,
and was deeply interested IN every
measure 0pesteaslnIIis rule upon
earth. 1ne Scriptsgeg were read
and std lsd BY her sssk delighs,
and the pirituatSeli of the
young was to Mer problem of great
significance, aud caused her the
deepest solicitude. A purer, ,rucr
life, a more unsullied character, a
more constant christian faith than
hers would be difficult to attain. A
largo circle of friends, while they
mourn her death as their loss, will
cherish with pleasure, lasting
memory of her life, and may tho
grace of God rest on the sorrowing
relatives, and may they all meet
again in our Fathers house of many
mansions. A FRIEND.

he devoted his life and his vast in
tellectUal powers and attachments
TO a Work,th truthfulneSS of which
he had become convinced in his
youth, and nowhere in a long, use
full and prominent career can
single instance be pointed to in
which he swerved from what he
deemed the path of duty. No de-
mand was too great, no duty too
onerOuS. UncOmplaining, and with
a heart full of noble aspirations. he
passed through a world which was
the brighter, the better and the wiser
for his presence. He was a man
among ten thousand, and while
there is no more truthful assertion
than that no place vacated by
man which cannot be filed, yet
If there is an exception,
that exception is to be found
in the case of the history of Mr..
Pratt. No man was more widely
known nor more universally re-
spected; his labOrs have engraYen
his memory so deeply in the hearts
of thiScommunity that all time can
not efface them, and his death has
created vacancy and loss to man
kind which many believe can never
be filed.
His funeral will take place from
the Tabernacle on Thursday next,
beginning at o'clock. The services
will be conducted by President w.
Woodruff, assisted by Bishop Ed
ward Hunter and his cOunselors.
His remains can be viewed by all
who desire it between the hours of
II am. and 1 pm, at the Taber-
nacle.

sea Of lee"

Last evening a large audience as
sembled to witness theFeproducti0n
of the "Sea of Ice" AS had been
anticipated, the piece was magHii-
Gently mounted, and was well rem
dered. The appearance Of the old
favorites was pleasure to the au-
dience, and it reminded one Of old
times. The scene in which the ice
breaks up was thrilling and effec-
tive in the extreme. Some idea Of
the scenic effects produced by the
painting and mechanical work on
the icebergs, and on the au-
rora borealis, was given on
Sunday morning, but it was tenfold
greater last night, when almost the
entire audience was brought to tears
in the thrilling and realistic rendi-
ton, both by the actors and in the
mechanical cOntriVances. The
whole piece was marked
success, and was received
with storms of applause. Miss
Claws0n, considering the difficult
part she assumed-Which is seldom
attempted except by stars like Char
lOtte Thompson-did remarkably
well, and with another appearance
will eclipse herself. She is to-day
one of the best lady artistes
that Salt Lake has yet produced.
Messrs. Mckenzie, Lindsay, Mar
gets and Graham, and the others,
all well known, maintained their
regulations.
The Sea Of Ice will be repeated
on Thursday night, when another
large audience will be present.
