Says writer in the Scientific Amerl-
can: II you had been passing a certain
busting and smoke-begrlmed railroad
depot, in city not far from New York
during the pleasant summer days, you
would have noticed an Industrious
blind man whiting away at 81 piece
of wood, which when he had laid his
knife aside, he dexterously twisted IN
to g. fan, much to the delight OF the
numerous small boys and other pass
ers-by who were attracted by his pc
c,,liar occupation.

AT THE ORGAN,
BY CHESTER WOOD.

In summer, when through the windows
The moonlight dreamily falls,
Or when red CLEANS of the freight
Play over the floor and walls,
Then in the shadowy silence
l finger the unseen keys,
And bring from the glorious organ
For myself strange melodies.
And it's then seem in spirit
To be borne away afar,
Till | reach enchanted regions
Where the realms of Dreamland are.
For then Of the grand and noble
dream, and the good and fair,
And friends, the beloved and absent,
seem to behold them there.
And thrilled by each mystic influence
The quiet gladness expands,
Filling thoughts of hope and sadness
Even as then by my hands
The organ is touched, and music
Floats in the air of the room,
Filling the moonlight and freight
And filling the shade and gloom.

THE population of London now ex-

modern, in the world. New York and
all it's adjacent cities combined are
not equal to two-thirds of it. Scot

while Norway, servia, Greece, and
Denmark have scarcely half so many.

the senselessness of the proceeding has

is unfit to hold his Office; he is too
much of coward to be Marshal, and
too ignorant of the chief characteristics
of the people of Utah to perform the
duties of his position in an intelligent
and respectful manner. But ireland
experienced no such fear; he enter
tanned no such doubt. He knew
that he would not be dis

himself could and would have quieted
any disturbance and thwarted any at

q moment lost control of their judg-

Ireland knew all this. and yet he made
the dramatic demonstration or permit
ted it to be made in his name, so as to
reflect upon the Mormon people, to
help to create the impression abroad
that the latter were desperate and law
less. and thus bring down upon them
more persecution.
The Mormons are good subjects upon
which the vicious and heartless may
practice; outrages of the grossest char
acter may be perpetrated on the Nor
nous with impunity; such men as Ire
land and those worse than he who use
him as a tool, can do these things with
out remorse, putting stain upon the far
name OF an inoffensive community, for
the poor people can appeal to no power
with the hope of getting redress. That
these unprincipled officials can do these
things against the Mormons because
the latter are unable 20 get their wrongs
righted, makes the act the more odious
in the eyes of decent folks; it is the
more cowardly and the more repIehen
sible.

Is POWERS ONE OF THEM?

1t Is said that Associate Justice
Powers is one of the chief conspirators
in the scheme to send a company of
United States soldiers to the Promon-
tory, ostensibly to prevent the rescue by
the people from the Marshal, of Presi-
dent George Q. Cannon. Powers course
and utterances since he has been in Utah
lend probability to the suggestion that
he took leading hand ii the contemp-
tible business. That he is equal to it
no one who is at all familiar with him
will deny. At the same time, we do
not care to accuse him falsely, and at
present only mention a wide spread
rumor to the effect that it was largely
upon his representations that the troops
were ordered ou:. If it should trans
pire that Powers took any part
in the wicked scheme to blacken
the reputation of the people of
Utah, and bring upon them further OPP
preston, it will furnish another good
cause for his removal from the bench on
which he has made himself SO heartily
disliked by the bar and public. The
sending of soldiers was not to as
sist the Marshal in holding his
prisoner, but in order that the
fact might be telegraphed to Wash
ington and the country that the soldiers
had to be called out to aid the Marshal
in maintaining his authority. As there
was not the slightest occasion for EN-
ploying troops, their use was infamous
and those conspirators who took part
IN carrying the scheme into effect are
enemies to the public. There should
be no such enemies on the bench.
