arrest, the object of which one de-
scribes az q drunken soldier; the other
describes as q FeILOlO harangueing q
crowd upon the corner OF street
Now If either OF these statemen is
we're absolutely true there would be
no further need of an Explanation;
bot as neither is inislibly correct,

vidual referred to: you will pub

vas 1T the time OF arrest Tor even in

nounce as a slan1erous misrepresen-
tsuon. That by the lnclemency OF
the weather, l had been induced to

peared to appreciate my remarks, /

We were discussing the source Of
blessing1 and 1 maintain that all
people, & peoples; who are dependent
on priests & patriarchs for blessings,
are absolutely cursed, and referred
to the people of England, Ireland,
Italy, Spain, Germany. Russia, India,
China, & Turkey, not forgetting
the people of Utah, and the
world at large, wherever the
people are unhappily favoured With a
superabundsnce OF priests and their
blessings. And l maintain that WheL-
ever people are really and supremely
blessed, ii is where Iationley they have
commenced TO seek their blessings
from the fountain head by due oo-
serv-nce of the laws of nature in
cir relation TO humanity. And 1
referred to the people OF America at
large to confirm tbis proposition.
And disp:te the wheather the people
we're disposed to listen to Ine; but the

larly the police were very uniavor-
able; And this felIo,o (of what Royal

In ONE Of the almanscs for 1881 the
Utah governorship is given to one
John B. Neil. This is piling it on
just 8 triAe too much. 1t is bad
enough to have a governor without
brains, but to have one without
beauty or brains is deplorsble catss-
trophe. At least that is how our
Idaho friends regard the infliction.
