in commenting on the question, says:
 The time has come when Mormon ism finds itself arrayed against the General Government, and naturally there can be but one outcome to the struggle. An agitation against pc lygamy has been drnmmed up throughout the land and public feel ing and opinion against the Mor, mons manufactured with remarkable success by long range philanthrop ists in each of the great cities, and yet the anti polygamy crusade had it's origin, not in outraged morality, but in keen business sense of the situation Tn Utah. The Mormons hold the best lands in the Territory, and the Mormons have nearly all the trade in their hands. It was these facts which struck the Gentle settlers with horror and filled them with shame anent the twin relic rath- CT than the twin relic itself. If there was no money in it, it is highly probable that the Mormons would be let alone for years to come, but spoliaticn is now the order of the day. Their business must slip away while they arc fighting the law Their lands will be wrested from them Tn time.

The Garfield Vault Photograph
 ed by Moonlight.
ClnYcland Lendcl


 MT. Richard Jahr, young Ger man chemist and photographer, has accomplished great feat among photographers; he has succeeded in taking the first picture by moonlight. When he determined to attempt pho. toglaphy by moonlight, he selected q subject of sad national interest," the vault in Lake View Cemetery which contains Garfield's body. MT. Jahr one moonlight night about two weeks ago took his camera to Lake View and made an attempt to photo graph the vault. He says q moon- light photograph Is impossible only with the new .gelatine bromide plates, winch are very sensitive, and will take q picture fifteen times quicker than with the old process. The first night the plate was exposed three and a half hours, but no picture was obtained. On the evening of March 3d the young German made his third scientific pilgrimage to Lake View. Tie night was clear and very beauti ful. He set up his camera few minutes before s o'clock, and exposed his sensitive plate for seven hours to tile moonlight. During that time he paced up and down the silent ceme- tery, with no companion but the equally silent soldier on guard. He contracted severe cold and neural gia, but at 3 0 clock in the morning he closed his camera, aud behold! there was shadow picture on his plate. The neuralgia was nothing then. He trampcd back to town with his precious picture under hls arm, developed his negative and SC. cured an excellent print. The pho tograbh is peculiar. The sky is very white, the trees black. The vault is , well taken, but the fact that the DIG. ture was taken by moonlight is made evident because She shadows fall in two directions. Mir. Jahr expects to send a copy of his success to Mrs. Garfield, and other copies to the members royal family of Germany.

Last Hours ot John Quincy Ad-


 amS.
 I never witnessed so impressive q scence as that in the old hall of the House of Representatives on the 2lst of February, IS4S, when Mr. Adams was stricken down by death at his seat He had partially risen as if te speak, then grasped the desk with a Convulsive motion, and would have fallen had not his neIghbor, David Fisher, of Ohio, caught him Tn his arms. The Representatives and those of us correspondents who had seats on the floor hastened to the spot, and there were cries of Stand back" ''Give hIm airr' "Carry him to the windowm Nearly ali seemed panic struck and confused, but MT. Speaker Winthrop maintained his elf-possession and adjourned the House. Ready hands brought a settee, on which Mir. Adams was carried into the rotunda. The fresh air, however, did not revive him, and, by invitation of Mr. Winthrop he was taken into the Speakers room, where a bed was soon made on a large old fashioned sofa. Five physicians, who were members of the House, held a hurried consuta tion, and by their direction mustard poultices were applied to his feet, producing, however. but little effect. Meanwhile Mrs. Adams, with some female friends, and 3he family phy, sician had arrived. Cupping was then res0rted to, and about an hour after he lad fallen the dying patriot opened his eyes and said to Dr. Pey ton: "This is the last of earth, but l am composed"
 These were the last words spoken by John Quincy Adams. The re- mainder of that day and through the two following days did he finger on the verge of existence.
 His history closing Is life seldom ends
 He had outliyed all foes, till the world were his friends.
 Statesmen of all parties, including Henry Clay, called upon him, but he knew them not, as he lay with closed eyes, apparently inanimate. He lin. gered until the afternoon of the 23d of February. His spirit quietly took it's flight, and Burlng, Healy, Pal frey and others who stood at his bed. side might have exclaimed, in the language of Beaumont:
 How sweetly Even death embraces thee The peace of Heaven,
 The fellowship cf all great souls go with thee.
 A few days later the remains of Mr. Adams were escorted to their last resting place at Quincy by a large Congressional committee, who were hospitably entertained at Bos. ton after the funeral. The old Speakers room Tn which he died is now in the room of the House Com mittee on Banking and Currency, and when Mr. Sam Hooper was chairman of that committee Ee had bust of Mir. Adams placed there, with slab beneath bearing an ap- propriate commemorative inscription written by Charles Sumner.-Ben Perley Poore.
