and those of homemade articles increase
million. The home products sold
should be 80 per cent. and the imports
10 per cent. The farmers of Utah were
practising a false economy; they were
eXtravagant; had bought much expen-
siye machinery they could have done
without, and were paying an aggregate
of $500 900 in interest to their enemies.
Thousand of dollars were being wasted
annually in this way. He would ascertain
how many were without remunerative
employment; furnish them work, and
increase the output of home-manufac-
lures to 30 per cent, instead of only 10
per cent, as at present. As the rivers
flowed to the east and the west, so the
merchants were draining the mercan-
tile men of Utah. If the people of Utah
continued to live in the future as they
have in the past, their existence would
be from hand to mouth. Had they fol-
lowed the advice given years ago they
would now be TENDERS and not borrow
ers. Those who supported foreign
merchants instead of home industry
were not financiering correctly.
APOSTLE ALBERT CARRISGToN followed.
He had been interested in the theme of
Elder Thatcher for many years. Many
who had arrived here in 1S47 had be-
come well-to-do; but he had been occu-
pied otherwise than in amassing wealth
He did not believe in the motto of the
world, Live" whether others lived or
not This has been bettered by some,
who had added "and let live" to it;
live, let live and help to live" was his
idea. He said the Saints should build
each other up in every way, in faith, by
example, and with might, mind and
strength. How long would the Saints
be learning these few simple lessons.
How many are building each other up
in their most holy faith as well as tenn
porarily? Are they improving as rap
idly as they should? They were pro-
crossing, but not enough. 1t should be
their aim to seek the kingdom of God
and His righteousness. to attain to unity
and obtain salvation and eXaltation.
Are they all striving to learn this lesson
of unity? Babylon with her institu-
tons had creptinto Utah, and especially
into Salt Lake City, because this was the
headquarters of the church. Would he
root them out? No. That would be
interfering with the agency of man; it
was not yet time to Danish wickedneSs
from the earth When he left Nauvoo
for the west he did not think he would
ever see dollar again; but money did
not trouble him; he had come to build
up the kingdom of God and plant the
nucleus thereof in Utah; from that time
he had been trying to learn the mind
and will of God, and to live in accor-
dance Herewith. If those who had ac-
cumulated wealth were not disposed to
assist in building up the kingdom of God
and help their brethren and sisters, he
pit.ed them; but felt no envy or jeal-
ousy to any. The riches of the world
are the Lords they did not belong to any
human. He cIosed by hoping all would
live so as to secure immortality and
eternal lives.

what they may. The work or God IN
these DAYS was a marvellous work and a
wonder. Had it not triumphed over
human wisdom and knowledge? 1t had,
and would continue to DO so until every
word of God had been fulfilled. When
these things were contemplated, the
Lords hand could be seen with his peo-
pie. The land here had been prepared
for them and they were well calculated
to develop and cultivate II. These val
leYS and mountains are ours, said the
speaker, by right of the blessing of God,
by right of possession, by right of cult
waiting them. and by right of purchase.
Shall we be uprOoted and eXtirpated?
Shall we maintain our fOOthold here and
grow? That depended upon the people
themselves, entirely; they should so live
as to secure fulfilment of the promises
of God toward them. Do this, and no
power would be sufficient to array itself
against them to their hurt or to retard
the progress of Gods work, until the
full contamination of its purposes. Let
the Saints live pure lives, obeying the
commandments of God, and their homes
in the mountains would be assured to
them. He was glad in being connected
with this great work. Those connected
with it would have their trials. What
would be the fate of individuals? He
spoke for himself; his salvation de
pended upon his own faithful
ness, and he prayed that he
might remain faithful TO the end.
He would rather die now than prove
recreant to his trust. God would
test and try all to the uttermost; but
the promises sealed upon the heads of
all when made members of the church
would be realized, if faithfulness was
observed. Every temple reared by the
Saints had stirred up opposition from
the very depths of hell, and Satan and
his miniOns were striving to overthrow
the church and kingdom of God; but
God would not forget Zion-ZiOn was
written on the palm OF his hand. Tenn
pies were being built. Who would en-
ter them? Not the whoremonger, BIAS
phemer, adulterer nor Sabbath breaker.
Woe unto such, if among the Latter
day Saints, unless they repent OF their
sinfulneSS. He eXhOrted presidents of
stakes and bishops to be watchful Of
that class, cleanse the impurities in
their districts, and not give recOmmen-
dationS out of sympathy to unworthy
persons. The adulterer who had re-
ceiVed his endOWmentS could not be re-
baptized, and President Cannon desired
this information to be proclaimed in
every camp of Israel. This land must
be a land of Zion, and would be so to all
who kept the commandments of God.
He counseled all to live so that the
spirit of God would be in their hearts
and homes.
The choir sang the anthem "Song of
the Redeemed" and Apostle Moses
Thatcher pronounced the benediction.

pated appearance, was brought into the First
Precinct Station House this morning charged
with having stolen dress and other articles
from Mrs. Sarah Hawkins, OF Ninth street,
near d. She gave her name as Mary Norbeck,
and said that ehe was Id years old. II seems
that about two weeks ago, when Mrs. Hawkins
was absent from the house, Mary watched nor
opportunity and entered. She was seen, how
ever, by one OF the Hawkins children, who
told about her, and warrant was procured.
The girl bears bad reputation.

owens and Jesse Platter.
A dispatch TO the Baltimore Sun from An
napolie, Md, gives the following additional
particulars OF tho clipping couple, Helen
owens and jesse Platter:
1.-THE elopement created great deal OF OK.
element In Anne Arundel County and In An.
napolia, whero the family OF Miss owens was
well known. Platter had been living with DR..
Henry Richardson at Bristol, q village In the
eighth district OF Anne Arundel County, about
year. DR.. Richardson's sister.in-law, Miss
Helen owens, resided in the same house.
CDR. Richardson, 1t was stated, had his sus.
going on right at home, and the absence of
both the colored man and Miss owens, and
subsequent discovery that oil their clothing
was missing, were indications that disclosed
the elopement.
at was stated that the runaway couple took
with them two well-fllled eatcheis. They
walked to Mitchelville, a short distance from
home, resting short time on their trip at
colored quarter, and afterward proceeded TO
Mullikin's Station, on the Baltimore h Poto.
mac Railroads, where they TOOK a train this
morning for washington.
"Several farmers living in the neighborhood
were at Annapolis to-day and stated that DR..
Richardson, upon learning OF the elopement,
had dispatched messenger TO the conductor
on the Baltimore Potomac Railroad to inter-
cept the couple. The conductor, II is said, de.
clined 10 interfere, but suggested that the au.
thorities at Washington might prevent tho
ceremony from taking place.
'Several acquaintenceso OF Miss owens recog.
nized her on the train. She was closely yelled
and endeavored TO evado them. Platter was
beside her trembling like a leaf. Tho nervous
manner OF the man first led to the discovery
OF her Identity. The men, II Is said, admon-
ished the conductor TO leave the couple behind,
but he replied that he could not Interfere, as
they had paid their fare. Governor Odon
Bowie, who was on the train, was also advised
as 10 the intention OF the couple.
smiles Owens has respectable family connec.
lions. Her father, the late DR.. Thomas owens,
was well.known farmer OF the district where
his family now reside. Platter, with whom
che ran on, is said to be a worthless fellow.
Miss owens is thought by many In the neigh.
borhood to DO demented. 1t is stated she told
party on the train that Platter was her serv-
ant.
"when the family OF DR.. Richardson discov.
cred that Miss owens had left the place a
search OF her room revealed a note, In which
ehe stated that she had gone away TO Kill
herself. The mother OF the Misguided woman
caught her talking to Platter some weeks ago,
and rebuked her for 1t, which, It is stated,
the daughter did not receive kindly. When the
two were fleeing together on the train Miss
owens paid the fare OF both Platter and
herself. She took with her considerable sum
OF money which belonged to her, aud also a
bank.book which contained the entries OF
several hundred dollars deposited to her credit
in Washington bank"

DEFENDING DARLINGTON
Against the Assaults of General
HAZqn.

In the absence Of Lieutenant Darlington Mr..
Linden Kent, who represented him before the
Proteus court, has written very severe letter
TO Chief Signal oflcer Hazen In reference to
the Iatters published comments on CARING
toms failure to leave more stores at Cape So.
bine. Mr.. Kent discusses at length the ques.
tion of whose fault II was that there was not a
sufficient deposit Of stores at the cape, and re.
views the evidence as given before tho court
OF inquiry. He condemns General Hazen by
the lstter's own testimony, and quotes from
Greely's letter, dated at Lady Franklin Bay,
foreehadowing the possible retreat TO Cape Ba.
blne, the very course that he subsequently
pursued with such terrible results, and for
which no provision had been made. AS a SOL
der, Lieutenant Darlington was compelled to
obey orders-the highest duty OF soldier.
Mr.. Kent says he may be pardoned II he ex-
presses his surprise that General Hazen
should shift the responsibility OF Garlington's
instructions from himself to Greedy. He adds:
"Does II not occur TO you that the country may
think II Greedy is to be held responsible for
the orders that issue from your ONCE that he
should also enjoy Its emoluments and digni-
tiee?" Mr.. Kent closes by saying that the
criticism from his chief will be an unexpected
greeting to Greedy emerging from the Arctic
night OF suffering and starvation.

WHY HE SUPPORTS BLAINE.
An Irish Democrats Reply 10 n
Friends Argument.

Hugh Waldron is prominent Irishman
Of New York city. He is a large dealer in
cigars and tobacco. He has always been an
ardent Democrat, but ever since the Repub-
lican nomination he has been outspoken
and enthusiastic in his support of Blaine.
To use his own words, he thinks Blaine
zone Of the biggest and ablest men in the
country" The other day one of his former
political associates having heard Of Hugh's
detection from the Democratic party hunted
him up and attempted to take him to task
for it. Among other arguments he used
was:
"How can you, an Irishman, vote the
Republican ticket, when the Republican
papers have been for years caricaturing and
cartooniDg the Irishmen in tho most shame
full manner?"
Hugh listened to him and answered him :
Eyes, that is so. 1t was Hdrper'S Weekly
and Puck that did it, and now they have
gone over to the Democratic party. 1t is
time for all self-respecting Irlshmen to got
over to the Republican party. / opposed
those papers then and oppose them now.
/ am gong to vote for Jim Blaine, and he
is going to DO elected, and-don't-you--
forget-it."
The Democratic missionary work came to
an end then and there.

he Done I'm the way or Improve
ment ana Repair this Summer.
"There will be very little done to the
White House this summer In the way Of
improvements and repairs" said work
man at the Executive Mansion to Critic
reporter. "Tho house has gone through
last winters constant gaieties-afternoon
and evening receptions, banquets and din
ners-with very little damage, and is in q
far better condition now than ever before
at the close Of season. There is no me-
cessity for frescos or repapering or any
thing Of that kind, and as yet very little
has been determined upon except reniov-
ing, cleaning and replacing everything
that can DO removed and relieved of tho
accumulated dust The East Room chan.
deliers, with their thousands of crystal
prisms, are being polished and repaired in
Philadelphia. All the curtains and lam
brequins and furniture covers will be
cleaned and new ones substituted in some
cases. The President is opposed to any
material change in the arrangements OF
the East Red, Blue or Green rooms. The
improvements Of a year ago were in ac-
cordance with his taste, and he does not
want any of the effects marred or modified.
The Red Parlor and the library upstairs
are SAID to DO
In Exact Accordance with the
Presidents Taste.
There is a rich, subducd tone about these
apartments that corresponds with his ideas.
The President takes great pleasure In his
surroundings and pays much attention in
a quiet way to the details Of the furnish
ings Of a room, and he would not tolerate
disregard for the harmonies by combining
furniture Of two different periods in the
same apartment or anything Of that kind.
If anybody undertook to put Queen Anne
desk and German renaissance chair in the
same room the President would soon have
it changed. There is scarcely room in
the house that does not show some tasteful
arrangement which he has suggested. The
White House will be put in splendid con-
dition for the winter but will BIO very
much the same in appearance as during the
past season."

The Delaware and Maryland Peach
CrOD.

The crop report for July OF the Department
OF Agriculture says In reference to the peach
crops OF Delaware and Maryland:
s'rhe peach orchards OF Delaware and Mary
land promise an abundant harvest. Various
estimates are given OF the Peninsular crop,
our correspondents varying from 900, 900 70
5000, 900 baskets. Both frost and wind have
visited the orchards, damaging prospects
more In some localities than others. While
the crop will not be excessive, the fruit will
be OF excellent quality, and 1t is now 30 far
advanced that nothing but cyclone can
seriously affect tho result. Tho estimates for
Delaware alone vary from 100000 TO A.
100000 baskets.
Correspondents say the yield Will not be as
large as In 1876, some assert not half as large,
and some place II on an equality OF that OF
1870. A correspondent states that the yellow
fruit 'is not showing 30 we'll as the red and
white. MIR. Henry Ridgely, OF Dover, Del,
who has q single orchard covering 116 acres,
at 10S trees to the acre, estimates the crop OF
the peninsula Delaware and Maryland) nc
100000 baskets. He says that full crop
averages about two baskets per tree, though
he has picked fifteen and twenty, and in one
instance twenty.six and a'half bushels from q
single tree"

Editor was Introduced To.

EDITOR was EnirOuuced roe
Mr.. Beirne, editor Of tho Richmond
State, was in the city the other day. He
had no acquaintance hore that he know Of
and was very lonesome, having no bust
ness other than to wait for train he
wanted TO take TO go to West Virginia.
Finally, Judge Riley came along. Mr..
Beirne knew him. He was very glad to
seehim, and at once asked the Judge In to
take drink. The Judge, who was with
three other gentlemen, excused himself by
saying he was with friends and II would
be impolite to leave them. Beirno re-
piled by saying, Bring your friends
along"
The Judge invited them and they went
in. The Judge proceeded to introduce his
friends 10 Mr.. Beirne. The first no intro
duced as Colonel Gill, the second as Col
onel Washington and the third as Colonel
somebody else.
They all took it straight and passed out.
