A ComicaI Wedding.

A queer marriage ceremony was that
in Queen Elizabeth's reign, before the
deaf and dumb alphabet vas invented
between Thomas Filshy and Ursula
Bridget. Ursula could talk fast enough
but Thomas was a deaf mute, and If
was required that promises should be
exchanged in spoken words, nobody
knew how to manage the thing. FINALLY
the Bishop of London helped devise a
service by signs, and Thomas proceed
Ell thus: Having first embraced Ursula
with his arms, he took her by the hand
and put the nuptial ring on her finger.
He then laid his right hand Signifc antly
upon his heart, and afterwards putting
their palms together, extended both
their hands 20 heaven. Having thus
sued for the divine blessing, he declared
his purpose to dwell with Ursula till
death should separated them. By closing
his eyelids with his fingers. digging the
earth with his feet, as though he wished
to make.a hole in the ground, and then
moving his arms and. body as though he
were tolling a funeral bell.

must prove gratifying to others than
those who are directly interested in the
concern. There are many things in the
report which are full of interest to the
general public. OF course the chief con-
Germ of the shareholders is as to the
financial condition of the institution,
which IS all that could be desired, and
much better than might have been ex
pected considering local commercial af
fairs generally Of the past six months.
This has been regarded as one of the
most trying periods in the commercial
history of the country. Money has
been scarce and trade dull in all de-
partments; no enterprise OF note or inn
.portance has been. carried on and
there has been a long season of al
most unprecedented business stag
nation; yet this solid old institution has
moved along with its accustomed steady
pace and rounds up the half year in
shape that cannot fail TO excite adj
miratioR for those. at the helm and con-
graduation for the members OF the
corporation. SO immense and far
reaching in its operations is 2. C. III. 1:
that the institution may be regarded as
a part of Utah, and its condition as
shown by the periodical reports of its
officers, very clearly represents the
status OF the Territory with regard TO
its internal commerce. The Coop"
being healthy and prosperous, the PEG
pie of Utah are necessarily in thriv-
ing condition.
An interesting feature of the Pres
ident's report, and one which wilt ats!
tract favorable attention, is the great
progress here marked in local man
ufacturing industries. The sales OF
home manufactured articles during the
six months aggregated $4,000. These
goods, including boots and shoes,
weOlens,- soaps. trunks and brooms,
all staple articles. Nearly tWo-thirds the
boots and shoes sold by the institution
are made in its own factory and other
home manufactures are largely super
ceding imported articles. This is the
best recommendation that homemade
goods could receive; it tells that local
are not only equal or |
better ia quality, but of no higher price; |
that they have. found their way into |
use by honest. fair competition. The
Development of home industries here !
indicated will be something of revela-
ton to large portion of the COM
nunity.
THE HERALD congratulates the GO
'p." upon the showing made. and the
Utah community upon the evidence of
substantial prosperity here presented.

ADJUSTMENTS.

THEATRE.-Lulu Hurst concluded her
engagement at the Salt Lake Theatre
last evening, to house about as large
as on Friday evening. The same pro-
gramTne was gone through with, with
the exception that person represent
ing morning paper desired to have
some tests made in which the conditions
were to be arranged by himself. This
was of course denied, and a
lengthy discussion ensued, participated
in by the person referred to-,
Joe Russell, Mr.. Hurst and some others.
After this the performance went. ahead
and concluded about $50 o'clock: The
feats performed by Miss Hurst may be
70 some extent, but not fully necesSitat-
ed by slight of hand and muscular pres
sure; there Is something above and
beyond this, however, as any reasoner
will say when he considers the matter
at length.
OPERA HoUsE.-Nellie Boyd and her
company appeared for the first time
this season in the Opera House yester-
day afternoon in piece theprOper name
OF which is Queens Evidence. II has
been previously rendered here by the
Home Dramatic Club, and and COM
parison of the two performances is
nothing to the latter's disadvantage.
Miss Boyd plays carefully and dresses
appropriately, and at times elected APP
plause. The company is a reasonably
fair one, most of the characters being
well sustained, and the performance as
a whole giving satisfaction.
Monday night, Forget Me Not will
be presented.

Real Estate.

One of the most encouraging symp-
toms of an improvement in business is
the increased activity in real estate
during the past week or two. Messrs.
Boekholt IL Cummings. the popular
real estate agents in THE HERALD Block,
report that sales, applications and
general business have been remarkably
better of late, and that the prospects for
active transactions for the fall are really
encouraging. A similar showing has
been made by White & Smith, success
ors to White, McAllister & Co., the
Second South street agents, who repre-.
sent that transactionS in real estate
within the past ten days have largely
exceeded the business of any month
during this season, and that every day
develops Improvement.

''Old HOss Sale"

The Union Pacific Express Company
have had before the public in the col
umns of the HERALD for some time past
a long list of uncalled for articles which
they will offer at auction, beginning
Monday morning at ten O'Clock and
continuing till everything is disposed
OF. The list is long enough, it would
seem, to contain something suitable for
everybody, and there will doubtless be
some excellent bargains. The sale takes
place in the Hooper & Eldredge Block.

THE IDAHO CAMPAIGN.

The Deiegateship contest in Idaho
has fairly opened, and 80 far as the pol
itician of the free, wild west is able Il
create lively campaign, they are hav
ing it warm throughout our northern
neighbor. The newspapers up there are
full-freighted in every issue with the
virtues OF one candidate and the bad
record of the ether, and the cities
towns and mining camps are disturb ed
nightly by the lusty lungs of the paid
or volunteer orator endeavoring to en-
tice men from their respective parties
into the fold of the opposition. The
Singiser managers seem to be more &C
tive than the Democrats, show
ing that the former regard their
cause as more desperate than
that OF Honest John HALEY,
who appears TO be q faYorite in the Ter
ritory, enjoying the confidence, respect
and esteem of his fellow-citizens with
out regard to party. The writings OF
Democratic editors and the utterances
of Democratic speakers all indicate a
feeling of perfect confidence in the
success of HALEY, while doubt is noted
in al that the Republicans do
or say. This Is about as il
should be. The reelection of Singiger
would be disgrace to the fiourishing
Territory with its many intelligent. pro-
greSsjye people and rapidly increasing
population. He is carpet-bagger in
the rankest and most offensive sense OF
the term, is man of extremely narrow
capacity. and has been constantly
under cloud as regards his honesty
and integrity. An honest young Terri
tory, anxious to retain good name.
cannot afford to be represented in
the national legislature by man
Of his character and capacity. On the
other hand the Democratic candidate
John HALEY, is-recognized not only as |
an able man, but one whose honesty |
has never been impugned and whose in
-egrity is OF the rock-rooted kind. Be-
sides, being an old and permanent citi-
zen OF the Territory, he knows T
IS wants and thoroughly under
stands the needs in i legislative

tain that was put upon Idaho two

The KIND of civil service reform we
might expect should Blaine be elected
is illustrated in the case of Commissioner
of Pensions Dudley. The other day he
sent in his resignation to take effect
November 10th, and Immediately set
himself to work to manage the campaign
for Blaine in Ohio and Indiana. He is
still drawing salary from government
but has abandoned the service of the
public for the service of the party. In
other words the national treasury is
paying him for neglecting his duties as
an official, and performing labor as
rank. partisan. Hundreds of Repub-
lican officials have deserted their posts
and are working for the success of the
Republican party, but they are drawing
pay from the national treasury all the
same.
INA speech the other day John B.
Cough declared that the ProhibitiOnists
have nothing to hope for from the
Republican party, and for that reason
he would stand by the Prohibition can
didates all the time. That insures two
votes for st. John, assuming that the
Prohibition nominee will vote for him.

Mr.. Blaine 80 disgusts Mr.. George Vii.
liam Curtis and Harper's Weekly that they
can't support him. They make no point
on bis record since 1876. They do not fnd
that he has been robbing or cutting threats
since President Garfield thought him
worthy to hold the first place in his csbi-
net. Therefore, il they have any point to
make on him it must run back Of lS7G-at
which time as now Mr.. Blaine wss made g
target Of abuse by members Of his own
party, who were determined to break him
down in the public estimation.
From Mr.. Curtis article in Harper's
Weekly Of May 18th, 1876, printed on an
other page, it will be seen what view Mr..
Curtis took when the charges were fresh.
Since that time the only fact that has come
to light is that Mr.. Blaine out OF his own
pocket made good the losses OF certain
friends whom he had induced to invest in
securities which he thought would be pro-
titable, and which did not turn out we'll.
Nobody hes been heard to urge that waa
lie act Of diahonorable man. Whatever
Mr.. Curtis fluids Of dishonor in Mr.. Blaine
be must find in those transactions which
he has already declared to be without sin,
Mr.. Curtis has declared that Mr.. Blaine'f
statement was supported by uuquestion.
