A South Carolina gentleman recog-
nized in person who sat with him at
the hotel table the alms-taking deaf and
dumb individual whom he had seen a
few days before Mt neighboring town.
After observing that the lately afflicted
man could both hear and speak. he con-
graduated him with genuine sincerity on
his miraculous recovery. The miracu-
lously-recovered regarded the exhibition
of kindly interest as an expose OF du-
plicity. and thereupon thumped the
aforesaid gentleman numerically. This
may possibly demonstrate the workings
of n guilty conscience; it certainly has
taught one man To be less mindful of
the worldly affairs Of his fellow men,

a Mormon yFifc's Death.


The discipline Of the Mormon
Church was never better exempli-
than in the death of the legal wife
Of George @. Cannon which took
place on Wednesday last. Cannon
knew she was dying, but he stayed
in Washington to fight to keep a
polygamist IL Congress, that the
Mormon Church might be fully
represented in that body. Mrs.
Cannon knew she was dying, but
telegraphed him to remain at his
post. The poor woman, the moth
er of eleven children, died at the
age of forty-six. TIE Mormon
journals tell usshe was consistent
Mormon, and was willing to suffer
ANYTHING for her church. She has
suffered very much. As hercharms
began to fade she saw the man to
whom in her youth she had devot-
ed herself, take one woman after an
other to fill her place, and to share
not only her husband, but the prop
erty she had helped to accumulate.
and found at last t.aat her life and
suffefings only resulted in her hav-
ing fourth place in the mans
heart which she thought, in the
long ago, she had entirely won.
Come to think, we do not Won
der that She telegraphed him to
remain in Washington. The poor
woman is described as being
thoroughly womanlv woman. If
that be true. We do not wonder that
she desired to be alone as she ap-
preached her final release. SaltLake

life in the Polar Regions.

1t is impossible TO form an idea
OF a tempest in polar seas. The
icebergs are like floating rocks
whirled along a rapid current.
The huge crystal mountains dash
against each other, backward and
forward, bursting with a roar like
thunder, and returning to the charge
until losing their equilibrium they
tumble over in cloud of spray, up
heaving the ice-felds, which fall af-
forwards like the crack ola whip
lash on the boiling sea. The sea
gulls fly away screaming, and often
black shining whale comes for an
instant putting to the surface.
When the midnight sun grazes the
horizon, the floating mountains and
the rocks seem immersed in wave
of beautiful purple light. The cold
is by no means so insupportable as
supposed. We passed from a heat
ed cabin at 80 degrees above zero to
AZ degrees below zero in the open
air without inconvenience. Amuch
higher degree of cold becomes, how
ever, insufferable if there is wind.
At Is degrees below zero a steam,
as from a boiling kettle rises from
the water. At once frozen by the
wind, it falls in a fine powder.
This phenomenon is called ice
smoke. At 40 degrees the snow
and human bodies also smoke.
which smoke changes at once into
millions Of tiny particles, like nee
dies Office, which fill the air with
a tight continuous noise, like the
rustic of a stiff silk. At this tenn
perature the trunks of trees burst
with loud report, the rocks break
up and the earth opens and vomi;s
smoking water. Knives break in
cutting butter. Cigars go out by
contact with the ice on the beard.
To talk is fatiguing. At night the
eyelids are covered with a crust of
ice that must be carefully removed
before one can open them.

a Miners Ingenuity.

James McGlynn, a miner IN the
Hallenbaek Colliery, at Wilkesbarre
in this State, has found recreation
and amusements during the spare
time of the past nine years in the
construction of an elaborate clock.
As described by the reporter Of the
New York Times, the clock stands
about nine feet high, and is incased
in an elaborately carved case of
black walnut, consist Of 405 pieces
of finish. Each of the pieces was
turned in the mine by the enthu-
siastic miner with a tool that would
make a cabinet maker smile, being
nothing less than q broken saw file.
In addition to the 400 turned
pieces in black walnut, which COM
prise the frame work of the clock,
it has 63moving figures, actuated by
machinery, so deity arranged as TO
produce interesting historical and
Biblical scenes. 1t is the intention
Of the miner-mechanic to make the
number of figures hundred assoon
as his means, which are rather linn
tied, shall AFFORD such an additional
outlay.
The front of tho clock shows three
balconies, rising above massive
and elegant carved elestal, and up
on these the moving ;igures appear.
The lower balcony slows process
sion Monumental soldiers headed
by mounted general aud march

proclaims its welcome notes of free
dom. A sentinel salutes the Conti-
nentals as they pass, and just at the
moment the door is opened from
an upper balcony and reveals Mol
" Pitcher, with her cannon, which
fires with startling and realistic ef-
feet.
To show how well the maker Of
the clock has considered the details
of his handiwork, he has placed a
small revolving fan in the clock, to
be actuated after the firing Of Mol-
ly's cannon, for the purpose Of clear
ing out the powder smoke. Siinul-
taneous with this the portraits Of the
twenty Presidents OF the United
States pass in panoramic view Oh i

pendence. The apostolic procession
is similar to those hitherto seen III
such clocks. The Twelve Apostles
file past, Satan appears, and the
cock crows in warning 10 Peter.
a figure of justice raises her scales
as the form OF Christ appears,
and during the scene a large repre-
sentation of Death tells off the min
utes upon the bell.
When one sees the clock, the
tools with which it was made, and
hears the miners story of how he
bought the wood for it bit by bit as
he could afford from his spare
change, he is sensihly impressed
with human possibilities. The fig-
ures used in the biblical and histori-
cal Illustrations were cast by Me
Glynn in moulds of his own design
and there is very title in the entire
clock that did not come from his
hands. Now that it is finished, he
scarcely knows what TO do with it,
