TIE MASS MEETINGS.

Whatever may be its result, the Nor
mons may well be proud of their work
on Saturday. At various places in the
Territory they assembled in vast
gatherings, and exercising their rights
asfreemen and citizens of the Republic,
formulated statement of their griev-
anoes and upon this declaration of I'M
deniable facts, solemnly protested
against a continuance af the persecu-
tons to which they have been and are
subjected, earnestly appealing to the
National Administration to come to
their relief. They did not assume the
mean attitude of suppliants for
mercy, but as honest men and
women simply and manfully asked for
their rights-for what they could de-
mand as LOYAL members of the national
commonwealth, devoted to their coun-
try and its institutions. The "Deciara-
tion," which appears in full in this issue
of THE HERALD, is paper that Will
commend itself for its fairness, honesty
and truthfulness; it is plain statement
of the case, and so careful has been the
committee in its preparation, that no
part of the presentation, no assertion
in if can be gainsaid or dlsproven. The
speeches also in the Tabernacle, this
city, were able, earnest and effec-
tive; they we're what might
be called telling addresses.
They we're devoid of everything of a
sensational character, there having been
no stralning for effect. no attempt to
tickle the ears and excite the clamor
of the populace. While the speakers
showed by their manner and words that
they were in deep earnest, filed full of
the matter, their language was temperate
and their speech modest and truthful.
No one can say what will come from
this popular appeal to the nation for
rights that have been denied,
for relief from this wicked, this
malicious oppression. Nothing or
good may result from this
honest effort 10 obtain relief from the
persecution and outrages which are
bringing so much distress upon the
afflicted people. Whatever may be the
outcome. the people have done wisely
and well. THE HERALD believes that
their appeal will be needed, and that
the nation will soon demand that Nor
mons be accorded their rights as citi-
zens.

UNPRECEDENTED DISASTER to railroad
property in this country is what the
Raitardy Age predicts for 1885. Itpoints
out that last year thlrty-seven roads
went into the hands of receivers, the ag-
gregate capital stock being Sis, OO0, 900.
During the first three months of this
year twenty-three roads failed, their
total value amounting to 1915 900 900.
The Age attributes most of the trouble
to building the roads before they were
needed.

speech, in the course of which he
savagely attacked the Republican party.
saying that in the late campaign it had
ceased to DE the party of great moral
ideas, and had sought victory on
grounds far below its ordinary level. 1t
had made national pelf more important
than the national party. He praised
President Cleveland, declaring that
the words of his inaugural we're
equal to those of Lincoln. Just how
deeply rooted are Douglass political
principles will be understood when it is

Last evening quite little scrap occurred on
East Front street between Mrs. Morton and
Mrs. Woods two well-known colored res
idents OF that thoroughiare. Mrs. Morton's
liule girl WAS playing about the gate OF the
Woods mansion and the rickety affair

telling back-hauded compliments and were
soon engaged in regular eye-scratchirg G,

At 2:4o this friday morning, Valentine
Wagner was hanged In the Ohio Penitentisry,
for murder. A special to the Commercial Ga
zette says: az
He died without a struggle, his neck bsing
broken, and being pronounced dead by the
physician in about two minutes.
His last hours were those OF agony, since
he took but little comfort in anything, and
kept constant moaning. About half-past
s o'clock he slept little, and aftsr awaken
ing, spent nearly his whole time talking in
coherently with bis son Frank. who remained
with him until after o'clock. His last re-
ligious consolstou was given him about
o'clock by the Revs. Jacob Rothweiler and
John @. Reber, two German Lutheran min
listers, who remained with him until bis exc
cutiou.
Alta quarter after o'clock the persons who
witnessed the hanging, nineteen in number,
filed back to his cell, and, after Sheriff Daw-
son, of Morrow county, had read the death
warrant, they proceeded Immediately to carry
out the sentence.
When brought out OF his cell he cried pit
eously not to hang him, and when on the
scaffold it required three men to hold him up.
His body will be claimed by his relatives to-
day, and taken to their home for burial.

A New Chinese Wonder.

A child who can see what is going
on hundreds of miles off is a very use
full acquisition, and if the boy at Pekin.
alleged to be thus gifted, is only half
as clever as he is described, he certain
ly deserves all the sensation he is Great
ing. He was brought to Pekin from .
distant province, and presented to
Prince Chun, the father Of the youthful
emperor, who Immediately took him
under his protection. His hand serves
him as q wonderful mirror. it appears.
On the palm of it he secs reflected
what is going forward at IN enormous
distance. One day, for instance, it is
related that the child was asked at the
palace what was taking place in Anam.
He consulted his hand. and replied:
IL see fighting; the imperial dragon is
victorious; the tri-colored flag is trod-
den down in the dust" And. OF course,
three days later dispatch brought to
Pekin the news Of Chinese victory in
Tonquin. To be quite sure the boy
was not an impostor, Prince Chun, at
the first interview he had with him, in
quired what the family of . mandarin
were doing whose residence was .
couple of leagues distant from the pal
ace. They are all eating macaroni,
replied this remarkable child. Imme-
diately the prince sent one Of his at
tendants to the house in question, and
on his return he corro borated the boys
statement, the family being, as he
said, engaged in the interesting occu-
patton Of eating macaroni in honor Of
the mandarin's birthday. Since then
Prince Chun has been q firm believer
in the boys gift Of second sight, and
makes much Of him accordingly.-Lon-
don Standard.

known courtezans, got on a high yesterday
afternoon and tried to paint the town. Hiring
a buggy and mule a, Campbell's livery sta
BILE they took on board good cargo of bulge
aud started out. About 5 o'clock they were
arrested on Columbia street, near Market, by
Officer Wilson. They had been beating the
life out of the mule, driving him up and
down Columbia street. on the sidewalk
against tree boxes and every place
but up the Court House steps. The
damsels were sent to the Station House in
the patrol wagon, creating furore along the
route by their antics and loud talk in the
wagon. The rig was returned by the officer
to the livery stable. They pleaded guilty be-
fore the Mayor this afternoon, and were fined
81 and costs each. ... ...#..

Kicked by q Mule.

Martin Carey, the corpuleut colored black
smith OF West Main street, met with a serious
mishsp last evening while busying himself
about the dynamite end OF a mule. He was
sboeing one OF the mules belonging in
the West End street car stables when the ar
imal kicked him in the abdomen and laid
him out cold for a few minutes. 1t was
thought at first that the blow was fatal, but he
was finally revived with the aid Of physi-
an and removed in a spring wagon to bis
home in East Springfield. He is thought to
be very seriously injured internally.

A Popular Mexican Resort.

Santa Anita, the first village on the
viga beyond the city of Mexico, writes
a correspondent to the San Francisco
Chronicie. Is the universal rallying
point on Sundays for both natives and
sight-seers from the capital. There Is
always q fiesta at Santa Anita, and
there the Indians are eternally dancing,
singing, and pulque- drinking On ar
irving At this village the first business
of everybody Is to secure wreath OF
poppics and corn-fowers, which the
women wear upon their tangled hair
and the men upon their sombreros-
though perhaps the human form divine
thus beautifully crowned may be but
partially covered with scant and dirty
rags. Lovely wreaths sell for mddeo
(6 cents) apiece, and the woman, young
or old, who Is not wreathed before the
the day is over Is either deep in dis
grace or hopelessly out Of fashion. This
native love Of flowers is a direct herit-
age from the swarthy founder OF these
floating gardens. History tells us that
the most valuable gift which Montezu-
ma presented to the Spanish ambassa-
dor Of his court was accompanied by a
boquet; and q strange anomaly it must
have seemed. this love of the beautiful
combined with their blood-curdling re-
ligion. Baron Won Humboldt remark
ed upon it centuries afterward. To-
day those who sit in the market places
must embower themselves in green
branches garlanded with flowers, while
even prosaic pulque barrels are wreath.
ed with roses, and mugs and pitchers
similarly bcdecked. The poorest vii
iage church has its floor strewn with
blossoms. and fresh boquets are ar.
ranged upon all the affairs before SER
vice begins. The babe at Its christen-
ing, the child at its confirmation, the
bride at her wedding. the corpse in Its
cofiin, are alike adorned.

Narrow Escape of Beat on a Railroad
Train.

The Ninth Batt-lion, o. n. G., including
