MOrmOns in Pennsylvania.

New York, ga Times hyde Park,
Pa., special says: Not content with the
wholesale importation Of Scandinavian
proselytes, the Mormons are working
vigorously among the miners of the
anthracite region for converts to the
alleged religion of Joseph Smith. Their
efforts are principally directed to the
proselyting of the Welsh people. Their
progress. however, is exceeding slow of
late, although about decade ago they
managed to gather mp about 200 converts
to Mormondom in this valley. Two in
telligent missionaries are now in this
place, and we have among US branch
of the church. of which Elder Esdras
Howell is head. This section is to some
extent considered saved in Utah, as some
of the APOSTLES" Iabored years ago in
Su:quehaRna County, ouly few miles
distant, where Joseph Smith hourished
for time and where Orson Pratt figured
in 1881.

A Plague Spot.

New York, 2l.- Worlds London:
Private advices FROM st. Petersburg re-
port that nihilits are everywhere active,
and that General Ignatieff's efforts TO de-
stroy the organization meet with no
success. The Gar is still immured in
the castle at Heterhoff. He visits St.
Peters burg occasionally, but the press is
forbidden to record his movements in
advance. As expected, Hessy Hef-
msnn's sentence has been commuted 10

was delivered is not dead as reported.

ports that a rich old bachelor of that

when young, has written to st. Peters.
burg for the purpose of taking the neces-
ssry steps towards adopting the child,
but the mother refuses to part with it. It
is probable, however, that she will sur
render it to her relatives. Police regula-
tions forbid prisoners from taking their
children into exile. The condition OF the
provinces is appalling. The Siberian
plague is ravishing western and southern
districts, and peasants everywhere are in
despair. Nihilists are working in rural
districts with great 81 cess, and before
long the peasantry will be as ripe for in

Composition of the Next House

New York, 21.-Speaking of the pos
sibility of democratic organization oil
the next House, the Tunes Was hington
says: Election returns show there were
elected to the Forty-seventh Congress as
distinctive republicans Isl members,
democrats 13l, greenbackers 9 and read
justers 2. Since the election republicans
have lost. including Lspham, five mem
bers, namely, Conger, of Michigan;
Frye, of Maine; and Morton, Miller and
Lspham, of New York; and gained one
in the election Of a successor 20 Conger,
thus leaving the republican net loss four.
This would leave the present repu blicsn
membership 147, or the exact number
necessary TO constitute quorum over a
full house of 293 mem bers. Since the
election democrats have lost two mem.
bers by desth-Wood, of New York,
and O'Connor, Of South Carolina.
OConLor's election is disputed By his
republican competitor, Msckey, and
all the testimony in the contest
was completed before o Conner's death.
deducting these two vacancies, Wood and
OConnor, from the democratic mem
bers, leaves their number 129. The nine
members classified as greenbsckers are
Murch and Ladd, Of Maine; Hazeltine.
Rice, Burrows and Ford, Of Missouri:
Hyatt and Smith, of New York:
Brumm, of Pennsylvania; and Jones, of
Texas. Ofthese nine Hazeltine, Rice.
Burrows and Brumm were elected as
neutrality-suspicious., each of them de-
feating the regular democratic candidates.
Ladd, Murch, Ford and Jones were
members of the last Congress and may
be regarded as distinctive greenhackers,
with democratic inclinations, Smith was
chosen as democratic greenbacker, but
cannot with any degree of accuracy be
classified as between the two great par.
ties. The two resdjusters are also IN
certain, as to their political identity but
it is very probable, that they will not be
induced to act with the democrats.

BURN OR BURY.

Two or three years ago when DR.
Lemoyne built his furnace for Gre
mating the dead, people were at
first inclined to resent this shock to
their sensitive feelings in breaking
in on the ancient custom OF our
fathers. But as month after month
we read of various persons being
cremated, thus we have little by lit
tie grown accustomed to it, and
were not therefore surprised to read
that a large meeting had been held
in New York on last week at which
time a Cremation Society was estab-
lished, with the following declara-
ton of principles:
eve, the undersigned, regarding
burial as an Objectionable mode of
disposing of the dead, do hereby
until ourselves into an association
for the purpose of providing facili-
ties for carrying cremation into
operation"
Officers were elected and peculiar
advantages are offered to those that
take stock. Thus one by one the
old customs dear to the hearts of
many, are put away and crowded
from sight in the rapid march of
this utilitarian age.
No longer will we indulge in SUCH
continental expressions as, "See that
my graves kept green" but the
practical demand at death will be,
Keep the tin box containing my
incinerated remains tightly locked,
and see that it is labelel properly"
Nor need we any more wander to
the city of the dead, and run the risk
of losing our own life at the grave of a
deceased relative, but quietly 60
up stairs and take down the box
containing the dust of the friend
over whom:we wish to shed tear,
and having.unburdened our grief, re
tern the box to its proper place aud
feel relieved, Besides, in frequent
removal of families from place to
place, it is so convenient to take the
Ancestral Dust" along with you,
as can readily be done when reduced
to this convenient size and form.
Then instead of expensive OUTLAWS
in tombstones, it would hold out in
centive to the young ladies of the
family, who are fond OF Decorative
Art, by painting panels on the afore-
said boxes suggestive Of the peculiar
virtues of the deceased.
But if we say more, we fear some
will intimate that we are stockhOld-
ers already in the Cremation Society
Of New work.

From Nature,

The following story was told me
by the mistress of the dog herself.
The event occurred iE small vii.
iiEge in Essex some years ago: "A
little black-and- white King
Charles, beloved by it's mistress,
but not by its master, was one day
lying on a rug in the drawing
room when the master came in,
saving just paid it's tax. He said,
II have just paid that dogs tax"
and looking at it with q severe
expression, added, and he's not
worth his tax" The little dog inn
mSdiately got up. and with a crest
fallen appearance, put its tail be-
tween its legs and left the room.
Ut was never seen afterward, nor
was it ever heard of again. al
though Inquiries were made vt
the nme in every direction.
