Geo. Q. Cannon he considered as a
willy, long-headed politician, who has
had 10 years experience in congress,
and who now wields an immense pOlit-
zeal power, dangerous and deadly to
our free institutions. Civilization, the
Gospel, railroads, and free schools
which the mormons detest, are, he said
doing a good work, aided only slight
ly by our laws but the surest and
best of all weapons with which to fight
this monster of the 10Th century is, and
must be, the church the religion of
Jesus Christ and to its workers there,
all must lend helping hand to insure
great and glorious success.

Music Hall.

There is talk of calling II meeting of
subscribers to the Music Hall fund to
see if the plan of the building cannot
be modified. The more people think
it over the more they are impressed
with the belief that the present plan of
the hall will he unsatisfactory. These
skeptical ones may be in the wrong,
but their belief is all the same, and
they feel that it will he great mistake

A good many people who know or
have heard Robert j. Burdette, the
popular lecturer and humorist, will be
saddened to learn of his bereavement
in the death of his wife, which occurred
at their home at Ardmore, Penn, last
week. They were married in 1870
when Mrs. Burdette was thought to be
at the point of death, and when she
was so feeble that her responses could
be made only by slight movement of
of the eyes aud faint pressure of the
hand. She rallied, however, and re-
covered in some degree her health, but
in 1873 she was broken completely
down by an attack of rheumatic fever,
and has since been a helpless invalid.
This helpless, suffering, brave and
CHEEKY little woman, cher serene little
highness," as Mr.. Burdette loved to
call her, was the inspiration, as he him

A Woman,s Sixth sen.s.

Here is a singular instance Of the working
Of that subtle, fine, sixth sense, which is apt
TO affect women more than men, and which ID
so mysterious in character that we often in
cline TO deny its existence at all. A lady sal
sewing quietly in her sitting-room and in ar
inner chamber the nurse had just put the baby
70 sleep and laid her in her basinette As the
nurse came out of the chamber she said to her
mistress:
"The little thing is asleep for three hours,
ma'am, I'll warrant.
TIE nurse went down stairs, and for about
minute the mother sewed on. Suddenly a
desire seized her to 60 aud take the sleeping
child from its crib
"What nonsensei' she said TO herself.
'Baby is sound asleep. Nurse has just put
her down. shall not go"
Instantly, however, some power, stronger
even than the last, urged the mother to 60 to
her baby; and, after a moment, she rose, hall
vexed with herself, and went TO her chamber.
The baby was asleep in her little bed safely
tucked in the soft white and pink blankets.
One small hand was thrown above the little
brown head. 1t was half open, the exquisite
fingers slightly curved, and the palms as rosy
as the depths Of lovely shell.
Ny baby" whispered the mother, adoring
the little sleeper as mothers will. "My own
little baby !" %
She bent over suddenly the third time, i'm
PEELED by that mysterious force which was
controlling her, and, for no apparent reason,
took the sleeping baby in her arms and went
swiftly in the other room. She had scarcely
crossed the threshold, when a startling sound
caused her to look back. Through sitting
cloud Of thick clay dust she saw that the
ceiling above the baby's cradle had fallen,
burying the heaps of rosy blankets, and lying
heaviest Of all upon that spot where, but for
her mystic warning, her little child would
even now be lying.-Bosiot Courier.
