ONE Of tie best and yet one OF the most
serious OF the admirable after-dinner
speeches that made Mr.. Lowell so popular
in England has only recently been published.
The speech was called out by some al
~lusions to the Christian religion made in
the tone Of genteel skepticism quite COM
mon among the literary men OF England OF
the present day. Mr.. Lowelltook occasion,
to remind those enemies OF the religion
which is at the very heart OF all there is
good in our civilization, that whatever
defects and imperfections may attach to
a few points OF the doctrinal system OF Cal
vin-the bulk of which was simply what all
Christians beleve-it will be found that
Calyinism, or any other ism which claims
an open Bible and proclaims a cruclfled
and risen Christ, is infinitely preferable to
any form OF polite and polished skepticism,
which gathers as it's votaries the degenerate.
sons of heroic ancestors, who, having been
trained in a society and educated in O
the foundations OF which were laid by men
of faith and piety, now turn and kick down
the ladder by which they have climbed up,
and persuade men TO live without God and
leave them to die without hope" And he
continued in his eloquent and beautiful
manner as follows: 1.-THE worst kind OF re-
ligion is no religion at all and these men,
living in ease and luxury, INDUCING them
selves in the amusement OF going without
religion, may be thankful that they live in
lands where the gospel they neglect has
tanned the beastliness and ferocity Of the
men who, but for Christianity, might long
ago have eaten their carcasses like the
South Sea Islanders, or cut off their heads
and tanned their hides like the monsters OF
the French revolution. When the micro
SCOPE search OF skepticism, which had
hunted the heavens and sounded the seas
to disprove the existence OF a creator, has
turned it's attention to human society. and
has found a place ON this planet ten miles
square where a decent man can live in de-
cency, comfort and security, supporting and
educating his children unspoiled and IN
polluted; a place where age is reverenced,
infancy respected, manhood respected,
womanhood honored, and human life held
in due regard; when skeptics a find such
a place Ten miles square On InS glODe,
where the gospel Of Christ has not gone and
cleared the way and laid the foundations
and made decency and security possible,
it will then be in order for the skepticaf
literati t o move thither and then ventilate
their views. But so long as these very men
are dependent upon the religion which they
discard for every privilege they enjoy, they
may well hesitate a little before they seek
to rob the Christian of his hope and hui
mainly ofitsf faith in that Saviour who alone
has given t O man that hope OF life eternal
which makes life tolerable and society pos
sible, and robs death OF it's terrors and the
grave of it's gloom"

IT is beginning to look very much as
though the Mormons were preparing for
ON open revolt against the Government.
The tone of their organs indicate this. A
recent edition OF the Deseret News avs:
The rule or ruin clique with whose
presence this city is afflicted, are still
fomenting an agitation for the purpose OF
producing a bloody elimination. They
have been the indirect means, by their foul
and slanderous misrepresentation, OF the
blood of innocence being shed at adistance
from here. Now they propose to consum-
mate their murderous work by seeking to
bring about a violent rupture in this city.
They are counting the aid, with this pur-
pose in view, OF the organization known as
the Grand Army OF the Republic. They
have set their hearts upon stealing the
Territory, and for the attainment OF that
purpose, according to their " statement,
as voiced by their organ, they would not
scruple at Wholesale murder. We do not
apprehend that a violent outbreak will oc-
cur. If it should, however, the 0nspiring
fends who seek it will not only have the
credit Of melting, but also of inaagurating
it. Therefore the responsibility OF what
might follow such an incalculable disaster
would have to be met by the instigatOrs,
in the event of their survival.
This is the tone that one would naturally
expect from a journal that is capable OF
defending an insult to the flag. The News
not only defended the ~half-masting OF the
American flag in Salt Lake on the Fourth,
but justified it, on the ground that in Utah
there was only "half-liberty." Because
the Jaws of the land forbid plural marriage
and because the laws are enforced and the
v~iolators are sent to the Penitentiary, the
emblem of the Government is spat and
trampled upon. The edicts of the highest
tribunal in the country-of the court
especially created to construe the Constitu'
tion-are derided and denounced. Because
some OF the people Of Utah are not per.
mitted to crafty their lust and passion
after their own way, there is mo liberty
in Utah" License and liberty are not
synonymous terms. If there is to be blood.
shed in Utah it will be easy to place the
responsibility; it will mark the end OF

place. We have thousands of acres of Govern
ment lands in this and adjoining Counties SUBJ
ject to homestead entries. The Fort Smith
branch of the st. Louis & San Francisco Rail
way runs through our town. We have some
very fine timber for manufacturing purposes
the best white oak | ever saw. Lead has been
discovered four miles from this town in small
quantities, what old miners call wool mineral.
Coal oil has also been discovered near here.
The place is extremely healthful. The worst
feature is the gravel and rock, but for stock and
fruit of all kinds we can beat the world. We
have been thinking it would be very pleasant
to have a soldiers REUNION about eight miles
