The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1883-01-14

returns. The paper on our political
campaign of 1882 will be valuable
a quarter of a century hence. Sup
porting this. campaign article are
the biographies of Franklin S. Rich
ards, the constitutional young cham
plon Of the Peoples party, and of
the present delegate to Congress,
John I. Caine. with a magnificent
steel plate of that gentleman. A BIZ
ographlcal sketch of Judge r. K.
Williams follOws-the gentleman
who created some sensation as the
temporary chairman of the conven-
tlon of the Peoples party. OF the
same class is the Commissioners
report to the secretary of the inte-
rior: And it was to give to the
public, and to preserve for regular
history this sufficient and well
rounded record of our political cam
palgn OF 1882, with its actors
and connections, that has per
fierce detained the number
under review beyond its date,
but 1t is obvious that strict regular
ity of date in this instance, is of
little consequence, as we discover
that the real design of this Utah
| Magazine signifies a twenty years
series of volumes of histories, blen-
ded with a repository of home liter
aturs, to be furnished by Mr.. Tul
lidg@ before he throws down his
pen to rest.
We have dwelt upon the political
feature of the January number for
1883, though it is not first in order in
the makeup" The frontispiece of
the number is beautiful steel plate
Of the Apostle Lorenzo SnoW-a
gem of art-a capital presentation
too, Of the face of man of culture.
The biographical article that accom-
panies the plate, should be of gleat
value to the Mormon people, as a
part of their history. It oomposes
a sketch of the founding of the
great London Conference, of which
Lorenzo Snow was the first presi-
dent, and his Swiss and Italian
Missions historically described in
his own most beautiful and eloquent
letters. This paper is followed by
the history Of Box Elder County.
Next, we have a very worthy
touch Of the clasBics-"Odes of
Anacreon," the Greek linguist, Dit
eral translation by VIM. Gill MillSs
Following we have page or two
of interesting "Reminiscences of
Main Street" and then the
fourth and fifth acts of Tul-
lidge's play-Oliver Cromwell.
There is also another telling article
from the able, incisive pen of
George A. Meears, entitled, "Have
the Mormans any Rights ?" "The
Group in the Lonely Corner" is a
touching little poem from the pen
of Julia Bowring Maltese. "The
Men and the Mines of Park City,"
by the editor follows the literary
relief, and after 1.-THE Commission
ers' Report" comes quite an inter
esting sketch of Queen Victoria, by
Hannah I. King, which is followed
by TullIdge's novel Of "Terese, the
Hebrew Maiden" a legend of
Kilbride next. by the poet John
Lyon; and then we get the finale
of the number-"Dramatic Remin-
iscenses, with Biographical Sketches
of our Actors" This is a paper
which will be read with
great interest by many.
One fragment of this number
we have reserved to close our re-
view. 1t follows Mrs. Kings paper
and is headed "Cheer Words from
England" A gentleman from Eng
land writing to Mrs. Hannah T.. King,
says:"I am quite delighted with the
Magazine. L think it is great
credit to your Territory, and hope
it will continue to be supported
twenty years hence. 1t will be a
valuable history of your people.
1 think the plates most excellent
finely executed. l admire them
much, especially those of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jennings. 1t must altogether
be a most expensive affair to keep
up. 1 have had the first volume
bound in scarlet cloth and gold, to
lay on my table for general reading,
and it looks well. I feel proud Of it
and goodly volume that will COM
pare favorably with any English
magazine, but 1 intend writing a
little essay upon it, and will send it
to you to present to Mr.. Tullidge.'
