For writing on papyrus. reed pens about

AN ANGELS TOUCH.

One evening, not long ago, a little girl of
9 or 10 entered place in which is a bakery.
grocery and saloon in one, and asked for 5
cents worth of tea. "How's your
mother?" asked the boy who came
forward to wait upon her. lawful sick,
and amt had anything to eat all day. :"
The boy was just then called to wait upon
some men who entered the saloon, and the
girl sat down. In five minutes she was
nodding, and in seven she was sound asleep
she held the poor old nickel In tight grip
between her thumb and finger. One OF the
men saw her as he came from the bar, and,
after asking who she was, said Say,
you drunkards, see here! Here we've
been pouring down whisky when this
poor child and her mother want bread.
Here's a g bill; that says I've
got some feeling lefs." And l
can add dollar" observed another.
s'And I'll give another" They made mp a
purse of an even SIS, and the spokesman
carefully put the bill between two of the
sleeper's fingers, drew the nickel away, and
whispered to his comrades, "Jist look
there-the gals dreaming!" So she was.
a big tear had rolled ont from her closed
eyelid, but her face was covered with a
smile The men tip.toed out, and the clerk
walked over and touched the sleeping child.
She awoke with laugh, and cried out :
What beautiful dream Ma wasn't
sick any more, and we had lots to eat and
to wear, and my hand burns yet where an
angel touched itr' When she discovered
that her nickel had been replaced by a bill,
dollar of which loaded her down with all
she could carry, she innocently said: "Well,
now, but ma won't hardly believe that you
sent up to heaven and got an angel to come
down and clerk in your grocery. 81 San

A son of the late Orsop Pratt, one of the
original Mormon apostles, is in Washing
ton, and he is an ardent anti Mormon. He
says We have been waiting twenty
years, thinking that each succeeding Con-
gress would do something for Utah, but it
has never been done. When the Poland
bill was passed we hoped something from
it, but the vital parts were taken from it,
so that it amounted to nothing. You ask
how it happens l am not Mormon. I'll
tell you. | am the son of my fathers first
wife, and had mother who taught me the
evil Of the system. There are many such
persons in Utah, and the tendency Of their
education being opposed to Mormonism,
they grow up hostile to the Institution, and
more than half apt to be disgusted with all
forms of religion. Some of the older and
more fanatical Mormons have an idea that
the Government cannot deal with them.
They think they are more powerful than
the United States. OF course this is not
true. Those of the more intelligent class,
Mr.. Cannon for example, know better.
What we want is blow struck at polyg.
amy. We want it wiped out don't caro-
straw for the unseating of Mr.. Cannon on
tecbnicality, If nothing is to be done to
put down polygamy. would as soon have
Mr.. Cannon in Congress as Mr.. Campbell,
and perhaps rather. It is not Mr.. Cannon
we are fighting, but polygemy."
PERsoEATING A HUSBAND. Money was
sent by Detroit woman to her daughter
in England to bring her, with her husband
and two children, to this country. When
the remittance was received the husband
was i'll in a hospital, and the wife was in
love with another man. The bold plan of
having the latter persenate the husband,
whom the mother had never seen, was i'm.
mediately carried oat. The elopement
party were cordially reeeived by the rela-
tives in Detroit, and the fraud might not
have been discovered if one of the children
had not made casual remark about liking
its old papa better than the new one. That
led to an exposure of the truth.
