was brought out with force and bold
ness strongly suggestive of decided
talent. The exhibition was so inter-
esting throughout and so well attend
ed, as to merit the name rather of an
art reception. Mrs. Stuckey is an
artist of superior ability, and in the
work of her pupils is traced her thor

dance, and there is abundant evidence
that her scholars appreciate and merit
it as shown in their work; and it is
difficult to decide which should be
most congratulated, teacher or schol-
ars.

I'm notaddicted to publishing private
correspondence, but I'll make an ex-
ception and give you an extract from
letter written at Ogden City, Utah:
This is beautiful city and one of
the Mormon strongholds. All of the
citizens have from two to six wives,
and although many of them are in
deep trouble because of the "persecu-
ton" by the government, they are
arrogantly determined, and are every
day showing their contempt for the
government by marrying again, q sort

process. Utah is the only place in
America where man is King. Just
think, all the women here consider
man entirely too valuable and good
for one wife, and are willing that he
shall have as many wives as can sup
port him, while in the East a girl con-
siders herself entirely too good for any
little of the leveling off process, to

ought to thank her lucky stars mar.

as you could scarcely credit if you
were told. Mormonism finds its re-
cruits among the ignorant-intellect

with loathing, but the gentle who
wants to keep the peace, finds policy
to bury his opinions while in this
region of country. Don't come here
to write locals or the Mormon Sanhe-

services.
Lewis d. Gerhardt took in the col

Penn, this week. Lewis's "best girl"
lives at Gettysburg, and he had a love-

A Democratic Jailer is turning the

obvious reasons, be proper to state

One of the most novel and enjoy
