LYING UP TO HIS PRIVILEGES.

In ante-bellum days it was the custom
of good many gentlemen of Danville,
KY, to wait "for the mail to open, -
and while away the waiting by loafng
in the bank of Mr.. Rice, which adjoined
the postofice. Here Rev. Drs. Robert
j. Breckenridge, E. P. Humphrey and
John G. Young, and such citizens as
Gen. Boyle, Josh Bell (who was so per-
sonally popular in Kentucky that a
county was named Josh Bell, so that
there might be no mistake as to which
Bell it was named after), Gen. Fry,
Will Anderson, and others, congregated
and talked theology, politics, farming,
finance and gossip, and many rare
jest and sparkling repartee was made.
Among others who gathered there was a
farmer who was great Methodist, and
from whom DR.. Breckenridge bought
hay, oats, corn and meat, and whose
weights the old doctor sometimes
thought were larger than his loads.
One day, in the bank, when there was
quite party present, this farmer pre-
sented his bill for late and rather un-
usually small load of hay, and the
doctor turned to desk to write check
for the amount, but was hesitating,
holding his pen in his hand. The con-
versation somehow had drifted on to
David and the wife of Uriah, and to the
subject of falling from grace. And as
the doctor held his pen, and seemed to
inspect the account, the farmer said:
You know, doctor, believe in fall
ing from grace"

those sudden upliftings of his eyebrows
and flashes of his eyes which those who

THE FUTURE OF THE MORMON
SYSTEM.
In the Century, the "Legal Aspects
OF the Mormon Problem" are discussed
by Arthur G, Sedgwick, who concludes
as follows.
The failure of the attempt to break
up the Mormon system by Congressional
Legislation does not, by any means, show
that the Mormon system will ultimately
prevail in Utah. The operation of nat
ural causes is certain, in the long run,
to sap the foundations Of polygamy.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS,

The many changes incident toI
the increased population Of our
territory, and the development Of
our mineral and agricultural re
sources render a session Of our leg
islaturc imperative.
From Il wholly pastoral country
New Mexico has taken rank among
the bullion producers Of the land,
and the native population, speak
ing Il different language, has been,
to large extent, and in many sec
tions, outnumbercd by the Anglo
Saxon race, bringing with it differ
cnt institutions. habits and indus
tries requiring changed legislation
and the accompanying advantages.
Laws which were applicable to the
old order of things, and which are
now ineffective. and in many cases
injurious, should be supplantcd by
Legislation more fitted to our wants
and better capable Of aftording
protection to our interests. The
mining interests need protection
and Development which can be i'll
Il great measure aided by suitable
laws. Our cattle men demand the
recognition required by Their large
and valuable investments. Public
education languishcs for the want
Of a proper school system. Our
criminal jurisprudence, under the
present order Of Things, is a farce.
Each county Should have the ser
vices Of a Siilliul attorney, a public
prosecutor to bring the lawIcss to
justice and to compel an honest
accounting from ourcounty officials.
In short, Legislation modelled upon
the system Of our more advanced

LOCAL JEALOUSY.

Some people are only happy
when feeling miserable. This may
sound paradoXical, but it is as true
as holy writ. 1t is the nature Of
some men, and some women, to
foster jealousy, to weep when they
hear Of a ncighbol's good fortune,
and to rcpinc when they see their
fellows scaling high the ladder Of
fortune or fame. Instead OF busy
ing their feet to advance the inter
csts of those with whom they come
in contact every day, they employ
them in efforts to trip them, to
thwart those who are not in their
way, but are honestly and earnest
ly striving to attain financial or So
cial status. When they succeed,
after Il period Of heart-burning, and
an outlay Of mental agony, they
retire within their miserable souls
and. gIoat as Dante pictures the
gloating Of the imps OF he'll when
new recruits are ushercd in.

Mr.. BEECHKR in the course Of his re-

had baptized the eunuch, the spirit coming
took away Philip, and the eunuch saw him
10 more. You will notice that both Philip
and the eunnch went into the water, and
that Philip taking water in his hand bap-
tized his companion. We are bound to
believe in the truth, but we are not bound
to believe in and practice the little technic-
alities with which it is surrounded. The
Lord snd his disciples in partaking of the
last supper reclined upon couches. But we
are not bound to follow that example. The
Quakers believe that baptism by the Spirit
superseded the baptism by water. If a
man wishes to be baptized let him be bap-
tized by all means. But if he does not
want to be baptized, let him not be. There
are brothers and sisters in the church who
have never been baptized, and they are
