News of the passage Of the Edmund's bill
by the house was received without any unusual
demonstration at Salt Lake City. Many of tho

lieve that it means ultimately the confscation
Of their property.
They appear to be badly hit, but hope the
bill on trial may be declared unconstitutional.
II not they believe it will unto the Mormons
and result in their advantage. There is al ele-

which is quietly content. and only asks that
men OF the territory and of substance may
promptly be appointed on the committee. The
Gentiles can hardly rest ain their qualification,
and would hold q mass meeting to express their
friends in the country and in congress their
gratitude, but that they fear it might be mis-
construed by tho Mormon people into a sort of
a triumphing over them. They hope that con-
gress will yet pass the Willets bill, believ-
ing 1t to be more effective than this.

Jasper, The Negro Preacher.
rom the Boston Congregationalist

I regret that have forgotten the preach
er's text, which was, however, from the
early part IF the Book of Acts, and, by
most remarkable exegetical process, Was
converted into an argument III favor of an
uneducated ministry. But, though his
text did little to establish Jasper's right to
preach, his sermon did much. He had the
faults Of negro oratory, exaggerated action,
a painful intensity, together with sort of
gasp as if for breath to keep SO hot a fire
burning; butthe absorbed attention of his
hearers, together with suppressed excite
ment which is difficult not to feel, proved
that the speaker had IL real power. The
fire, moreover, seemed truly kindled from
above, the impression being that of great
sincerity and earnestness.
l will attempt to give an account of one
passage which may convey some idea of
his peculiar manner. The passage was a
description of Christ's coming to this earth
to procure his bride. He began with these
words: 1.-The Lord came to the earth in
the Year One. He then recounted, in
wonderful vivid language, how He sought
out his bride, called her to Himself, separ-
ated her from the world, conquered her
enemies, exalted her in honor. At last He
has finished the work; has clothed her in
white, has brought her down to the rivers
edge, and has got her coming over. Ascend
Father. and addresses Him in these words:
Father I've done been to earth and died,
and now I've obtained my bride and I've
got her coming over" an aware that
what am saying conveys but faint i'm
preston of this remar kable passage of ora
tory: but that word got, with it's emphasis
of joyful sympathy and triumph, rings in
nv ears to this day, climax of eloquent
feeling which have seldom heard
equalled.
Long before the sermon was through we
all understood that it was Jasper who was
speakinq. Where another man says I, or
uses the more impersonal we, this man said
JASPER. He was not afraid to talk a great
deal about Jasper. and kept himself con-
stantly on terms with his hearers. Toward
the close, in q scarcely less familiar, though
reverent way, he had conversation with
God. az friend with friend. 1 remember
his reminding the Lord that he had not
stunned his battles, and that the enemy
had sometimes smitten him. Whereupon
he struck his breast with sudden emphasir
and cried out: Here! Lord, here! He
had turned no towards back to the foe.
When the service was over, l chanceC
upon citizen of Richmond, almost the
only white man beside myself whom I saw
at the service, who told me some things
was interested to know about the colored
preachers. In the most of them he had
little confidence. Jasper was the bright ex>
ception, q man not only Of ability, but OF
genuine piety. Afterward, introduced by
this gentleman, had conve ton with
Jasper, at the close of which he uttered
over me some words Of benediction, spoken
with real dignity and grace, which | shall
carry with me to the end in pleasant men,
ory Of q remarkable man, and very supe'
rior representative Of his race.

that buckwheat and griddle cakes made in this

Various preparations and mixtures have been
put on the market from time to time to take the
