DR.. s. H. Siddall returned from COIum-
bus few days ago with his Kings Sus-
pension Engine, all covered over with
victory. He also brought along with
him an elegant stock of dental goods
for his patrons, purchased at wholesale
prices. The following is what the Ohio
State Journal has to say in connection
with the DT.'s visit to Columbus: "In
the evening the first half hour was TAX
en- up by DIR. j. II. Siddall of Cantor, who
read paper on old and new engines,
at the conclusion of which he exhibited
four new hand pieces, and a dental en-
gine which he has invented himself"
This elegant engine is now on exhibit
ti0n at the Dr.'s Office, and will be shown
to any one who may call. No dentists
apartments in the world contain more
rare, costly or useful things for use on
patients than does the Doctors, most of
which are made from patents by him
self Why then not send our wives,
sons and daughters to him and have
theiI tretb aarcf fOr and looked after
by such careful DaHds As his, who never,

Governor Murray.

The Argus, Of Louisville, KY,
speaking of our absent but not for
gotten Governor. says: Gas far as
possible under the circumstances,
he has made an efficient Governor
of tbs Territory, but, in agreement
with him, It must be admitted that
no effort has been made by the
government to suppress the crime
against public decency and morality
since the Johnson expedition in
1859. When Congress meets, Pres
ident Arthur will call attention to
the necessity of doing something to
wipe out the crime against nature,
buF, after a little buncombe, it is
expected nothing will be done, and
Mormcnism Will continue to prosper
and thrive and defy the govern
ment."
From this it would seem that the
ArgltS knows exactly what the
government is going to do, and that
his excellency is likely to return to
Utah with bis hands strengthened.
There is a vague hope, however,
that the paper quoted may be mis-
taken az regards at least one feature
OF its proposition.

IN Evening with Dickens

An Evening with Dickens.
1t is a rare treat that is in store
for those who will 60 to the Con-
gregational church on Tuesday
evening, for on that occasion Miss
Kate Field, the gifted correspond
ent, critic aud traveller, will repeat
her famous reading on Charles
Dickens. Of this reading, in an
eastern city, a contemporary said
Charles Dickens was the novelist
of humanity, and Kate Field is to-
day his most sympathetic and in
telligent interpreter. Those who
were so fortunate as to attend her
reading on last evening will not
soon forget the intellectual pleas
ure they enjoyed. We saw slight
built, medlum-sized woman, dressed
in creamy white, with soft folds of
lace falling around her arms and
waist, with low, broad brow, and
earnest sympathetic eyes, who,
with q rich, full voice of ofremarkable
power Of expression, for two hours
held her audience spellbound by the
magical powers of the genius of
the dead writer. Besides possessing
a most thorough knowledge of
his books, Miss Field enjoyed for
several years, an intimate personal
acquaintance with Charles Dickens,
and she brought before our mental
vision not only Dickens the novel
