A swEET.sCENTED LETTER.
An Ogden Journalist Who Is Evil
IDENTIFY Aspiring to be an Editor
on the ssDeseret Nexvs.D

A letter purporting to be written from
the Utah penitentiary is published in
yesterdays Ogden Herald, relative to
Utah Federal officials and other cognate
subjects, and as a sample of
dirty and contemplate journalistic work
the author is entitled to whatever pre-
MUM the Church is paying for this kind
OF literature. A few extracts from this
spurious epistle will show the base calum-
niator up in his lying charges, and would
If he had not the cowardice to hide be-
meath nom de plume, entitle the cur to
well-deserved kicking from the first
Gentle citizen who comes across him:
The delectable menu of vile Federal office
holders now cursing this great Territory
with their malarial presence.
One of the "trustys', brought word inside
that two of the local officials had been visit
ing the city consorting with some of its i'm
ported monogamic harlots, outside the
marriage relation, and that they had brought
back with them the biting fruitage of their
unlawful liasons. This occurred some time
ago.
II Is said that large percentum of the
jurors of the three judicial districts over
which the immaculate judges-Zane, Bore
man and Powers-preside with SO much
fairness (?) and dignity %; who have been
indicting and convicting Mormons for low
ing their families, are lechers. bastard-get-
ters,. Sodomites, who're masters, defaulters,
gamblers, drunkards and the like and it is
well-known that many of the crusaders are
unclean and leprous men, whose many vile
examples are too outrageous to detail.
1t Is understood in town among "vigil-
antics" that Judge IS son is n chronic
patronizer of questionable establishments,
and it may be that his name is on the black
list so much referred to nowadays. If this
Is true his name should be put with Wander
cooks. Lewis, Sprague's Parsons Miller's
Yearian's ct al; and if the true inwardness
OF these mems lives was known there might
be no question as to their entire fitness to
become the herein associates of Jump off
the Fence Thorn and other such worthless
characters as he is.

CARLETON's HIT IN "NANON.o
His New Troupe VIII Open In the
Opera House I'm This Delight.
sul French opera.

The Carleton Opera Company will open
their engagement in this city at the
Walker Opera House next Monday night
with the new opera of "Nanon," Garlic
toms pet piece, and, as may be expected,
he has spared no expense in its produc-
ton. The San Francisco Wasp describes
it as follows:
While much had been promised and
expected, the full measure OF complete
ness and merit of Carleton's new troupe
exceeded anything that has been claimed
in its favor. The opera itself is musically
very attractive, being full of melody and
possessing French flavor and verve new
to Genee's compositions. The dialogue
is infinitely cleverer and more sparkling
than anything in the same line we have
yet had, and in this particular the marked
advantage OF artistic treatment by high
class company was APPARENT. In the
hands OF what is technically called a
Scrub" or "beer-garden" company,
"Nanon" must necessarily lose its piqu
antly delicate treatment. Carleton is as
handsome and fresh-voiced as ever, and
those who remembered Louise Paullin
were astonished at the increased style
and chic with which our charming little
townswoman returns to u.s. That accom-
plished artist, Mr.. Drew, as the "Mar-
9uis de Marsillac," repeated his New
York hit in the same part. Miss Vincent
is beauty of the voluptuous type and n
thorough actress, while Miss Wisdom's
dual part fitted her like glove, and she
was especially effective as the drum
major. In fact, anything better than the
entire cast would be almost impossible,
added to which the scenery is most adj
mirable and the chorus large, excellently
drilled, and containing u sufficiently
strong contigent OF pretty faces and figures
to satisfy the most fastidious In fact,
the chorus is quite revelation as to what
may be accomplished in that line by ex-
perience, thorough training and disci-
pline, and both in the quality ofits voices
and the exactness of its maneuvers is
most creditable to the executive ability of
the stage management. A more effective
picture of what is most beautiful in the
theatric art could not be conceived than
the second act with its superb setting and
ensemble. and the perfectly costumed
"Ninon" Miss Vincent) as central
point in the fascinating scene. To sum
up, "Nanon" merits the seldom attained
verdict of an absolute success.

NEVADA AT HER OLD HOME.
Saturday She VIII sing In the Lite
tie Mining Camp of Austin,
Where Happy Girlhood's
Days Were spent.

The concert season OF Emma Nevada
on the Pacific Coast has been the most
successful since the days OF Parepa Rosa
and De Murska. She has given four
concerts in San Francisco. and notwith-
standing the rainy weather the receipts
were over $4,000; in Los Angeles two
concerts cleared 5000; in Sacramento,
81 500; in San Jose, 81 800; in Oakland,
in the Presbyterian Church, 1880; in
Stockton, $1,000. In. Virginia City the
first day of the sale, last Thursday, tick
cts for over 81 200 were sold-the concert
10 take place on December 3d-and the
gross receipts will he about $4,000.
Emma Nevada will sing in Austin next
Saturday, the Nevada mining camp
where she was raised, and no doubt the
Methodist Church, where the concert will
be given, will be over-crowded. A COM
mittee, headed by Mr.. Farrell, the ex-
Senator, will receive her with band
and torch procession on her arrival there
on Friday.

The Grau Company Tonight.

The first performance OF the Grau Eng
glish Opera Company will be given in the
Walker Opera House tonight, and for
the opening performance the celebrated
"Mikado" is to be presented. Several
good voices as well as clever actors are
numbered in the company, and it is need
less to say, after the discussion and crit
icism The Mikado" has received in this
city, that the company will do their
best to present it in excellent
style. Amy Gordon as Yum Yum, Mr..
tigman as Ko Ko, and Mr.. Kent as Pooh
Bah--the latter said to be fine baritone
are their best soloists, but undoubtedly
every member of the company will feel
constrained to excel himself or herself to-
night, as on the merits of their first per-
Torrance will surely depend the success
or failure of the entire engagement.

Brains and Character.

Our esteemed intellectual contemporary,

on the whole, an instructive leader on
the public influence Of the press. What, I"
saws the Herald, sis the cause for the de-
cline of the editorial page as controlling
power?" Our contemporary answers
this question with variety of reasons,
but the great reason it omits; That
reason is the lack OF brains and character
When brains and character appear in an

when brains and character are absent,
there is no power.-NetC York Sun.
