history as family, charging him 10
write In bold hard 20 that she would
enjoy reading e her self. This
tender regard and thOughtfulness
for his old mother was char
aeteristic Of the man. It speaks
volumes in his praise; disclosing the
great heart Of love that beat within bis
bosom and that still beats there, gOn
der on the Mount OF TRANSPORTATION
with Moses and Elias and Jesus.
And now, In closing, Il is proper 10
publicly read the action taken by the
Session In references % the loss OF
their associate member OF 90 many
years standing;
WHEREAS: Several months have
passed since the sudden disappear
ance Of Elder ID. J.. Phillips, member
Of this session, from The train near Fl.
Yuma, on the Southern Pacific r.. r.,
and no intelligence hae come from
him since. &c a. establishes the fact that
be has persisted, beyond the possibility
Of doubt. Therefore,
Resolved, That, while we. as CO
members cfthis church session, bow
with humble resignation % this mys-
FERROUS OVefuliug Of Divine providence
10 the removal 0fouF brother from ns,
we feel e a duty Of affection 10 regis-
ter In the permanent records Of the
church, onr esteem and regard for orr
fellOw-Ofncer, IN which we viii ever
cherish his memory.
End. That through the long period
In which he has continuously served
this church a. Elder, viz: from its ORR
gin until his departure from ,us q term
M mnuWNE = wHnm NJ = rlrrrHnrrrT 30
was ever faithful and devoted 10 his
trust a. an Ofiice-bearer in the church.
Modest and reiiring, In his natural
disposition, he was ever ready 10
yield and sacrifice much for the peace
and prosperity Of Zion. Still when
principle was &C stake, or occasion de-
manded Il, he stood firm TO his cOn-
ylctiOns Of right and duty; and In thus
losing our brother; we feel that we
have lost q safe and judieiOus eoun-
eillOr from the government OF the
Church.
8. But our sorrow is relieved by the
reflection that what Il our loss Is his
unspeakable gain. and also by our firm
belief that Though God buFios his
WOFkmen" sometimes IN an unknown
grave, like that of Moses and our
brother, still"he carries on their
work" God and his church survive
though the WOrkmen fall and we
humbly pray that He will speedily
bestoW the mantle Of our brother upon
another TO Oh his place.
4. That the clerk record these resO-
lutions In the records Of the church,
and also send = copy Of them to the
famiiy OF our departed brother.

HOW JUNGLE TOMS CABIN" WAS
PUBLISHED.

John J. Jewett, the original pub
Usher OF "Uncle HOin's Cabin,n said:
Prof Stowe was in favor OF selling
the manuscript for sum down. Il
tell my wife, said he W me, that IL
she can get a good black silk dress or
fifty dollars In money for the story
she had better take it,"
"DO you believe that you could
have bought the story for Sj0?"
81 believe l could have bought Il
for $25."
$50 large were the orders for the
book that from the day | first began
Ia print Il the eight presses never
stopped, day or night, save Sundays,
for six months, and even then there
were complaints that the volume did
not appear fast enough. In a little
while / was able to inform Prof. and
Mrs. Stowe that their percentage
already amounted 10 $4,000, and, al
though my contract with them re
quired me 10 give a note only, /
would pay them that sum i'm cash.
How did they receive that In
formation ~
"They seemed a little dazed by the
news. The sum was so vastly be-
yOnd any thing they expected or had
hitherto possessed that Il appeared To
them like a great fortune. When
they called Rt my Office I handed
Prof. Stowe my check for $4,000,
payable To his order. Neither the
Professor nor Mrs. Stowe had ever be-
fore received q check. they told me.
and they did not know what to do
with Il or how 10 get the money il
represented. explained TO the Pro-
lessor that he must indOrse the
check and present it for payment.
advised him 10 deposit the money In
the same bank. We went thither TO-
gether. / introduced him to the
President, and the Professor opened
an account After instruciing him
how 10 keep his eheek-eOOk and 50
on. and cautiOning him and his wife
never 10 go about with more than s.
In their pockets, l babe them good
day, and they went on their way re-
jOieing. When / gave them a second
check for Sl0, 900 found they needed
no further Instructions.
How many coples Of Uncle Tom
did you publish ?"
More than $50, 900 sets OF two vol
ames each were published In the first
year. Amer that the demand fell !

BELDENs GUIDE TO NATURAL SCI.
ENCE, HISTORY, BIOGRAPHY
AND GENERAL llTERATURE

This large volume, issued by the
we'll known publishing house &c. b.
Beach 4 Co, Chicago, may justly be
regarded as one OF the most import
ant publications OF recent years. The
subjects considered are those which
lie at the foundations Of knowledge;
subjects with regard to which Il Is "A
Disgrace 10 be Ignorant, and yet so vast
are they that 10 COMPASS them in de-
tails Is impossible 10 n great majority
OF people OF this busy age. RectE-
MIXING these facts, the author has done
the people great service In here pre-
Benting In vivid outline, a striking
progressive view Of what we most
want 10 know and remember I'm
these most essential fields Of knOwl-
edge. IL is not hasty, partial view
aifeW facts In each department hastily
thrown tOgether-but q complete and
orderly survey OF each field, giving a
clear summary Of all that Is most inn
pOrtant 10 be known.
The results Of Scientific discovery
are given without the methods and
technical details which make other
books dry and tedious. The admIra.
Die narratives OF general and United
States history are accompanied by a
series Of colOred charts, In which the
progress % history from the earliest
times % the present, Is pictured 10 the
eye. We see how and when changes
take place the rise and fall Of ma
lions, and the contemporary history
OF each century. Too much praise
cannot be given IN this unique aud ef-
ieetive method Of aiding the e0mpre-
nenslon and the memory. Il Il OBJ
jet teaching, and the most effective
application Of that principle that we
have ever seen.
The biographical compendium gives
the lives Of about q hundred and flftv Of
the most famous men Of the time. We
Know OF no volume In which there are
grouped 50 grand a list Of the worlds

As a whole. we are thoroughly Inn |
