While we sat In the church four AIexicans
entered, wearing their tail sombrero hats,
and bearing on their shoulders a coffin,
covered with coarse black cloth. This
they deposited on the noor and departed,
and although we remained for perhaps
fifteen minutes longer they did not return,
nor did the priest make his ap-
pearance, and il there we've any
mourners they failed to present
themselves after our departure. Entering
the belfry tower, which is square without
and round in the interior, we assembled the
long stairs to nave a closer look at the two
old bells, which may be seen from below
through the arched openings of The fiat
rooted and turreted tower. They hang
from n beam built into the walls, and are
rung by pulling short pieces Of wire at
tached to the choppers. Both clappers and
bells are well worn by much banging
through the centuries past, but the
log stairs are not perceptibly worn,
and although exposed to the
rain, when it occasionally does rain,
(Which has not happened, however, with
In the past ten months), are as sound to-
day as when originally built into the wall.
The logs are OF bois d. arc ("bo-darkH-
known as Usage orange with u.s. about
twelve inches in diameter, and slightly
hattened on their upper and lower sur
faces. One end Of each is built into the
wall, and the other end, which extends to
the center Of the tower, is secured in place
upon the log beneath by a wooden pin
three inches in diameter. Strange to say,

Life in Other Spheres.

Proctor argues that every celestial body
must at some time pass through life
supporting period which must be very
short compared with the duration OF the
worlds own existence. Concerning the
date of the life era in other words than
ours he remarks: ''In the presence of
time intervals seen to be at once infinitely
great and infinitely little - infinitely
great compared with the duration OF our
earth, infinitely little by comparison with
the eternities amid which they are lost
what reason can we have, when viewing
any orb in space from our little earth, for
saving now is the time when that orb is,
like our earth, the abode of life? Why
should life on that orb synchronize with
life on the earth? Are not, on the con-
trary, the chances infinitely great against
such a coincidence? If, as Holmholtz
has we'll said, the duration of life on our
earth is but the minutest ripples in the
infinite ocean of time, and the duration
of life on any other planet of like minute
ness, what reason can we have for sup
posing that those remote, minute, and no
way associated waves of life must needs
be abreast of each other on the infinite
ocean whose surface they scarcely ripple?
1t is more probable that life is wanting
than that life exists at this present time.
Nevertheless, it is at least as probable
that every member of every order-planet,
sun, galaxy, and so onward to higher and
higher orders endlessly-has been, is
now, or will hereafter be, life-supporting
after its kind

1 horrible affair at Portempedocl

A horrible affair at Portempedocle,
near Girgenti, Italy, gives an illustration
of the use of the knife in the island of
Sicily. Two butchers, father and son, of
the name of Indelicato, who kept shop
in that town, not long since took two
brothers named Alfonso and Giovanni
Cannetoni into partnership, to enable
them the better to compete with rival
establishments. At first there was great
show of friendship between the partners,
but before long the Cannetonis began to
trade in lambs carcasses separately on
their own account, and disagreements
arose, which ultimately led to collision
between Baldassare Indelicato and AL
fonso Cannetoni. They drew their
butchers knives from their belts on each
other. Alfonso aimed well-directed
blow at Baldassare. He parried it with
his left arm, which was cut to the bone,
and at the same instant drove his knife
into the heart of Alfonso, who fell dead
on the spot. At that moment young
son of Alfonso, aged nineteen, came up
with bludgeon to his fathers assistance.
Baldassare struck him to the ground, and
then cut his throat across, Gas ne would
have slaughtered a sheep" Mad with
rage, Baldassare then rushed into the
shop, and taking Giovanni, the brother
of Alfonso, by surprise, "killed him with
a slash across the abdomen before he had
even time to cry God help me'" Turn
ing then to leave the shop, he inflicted
serious wound on person just entering.
sAll this occurred within the space of
four minutes, the result of the collision
being three persons killed and two
wounded,

The Zoarites are a very peculiar peo-
ple, who live in Ohio and hold the prop
erty in common. They are as odd as the
Shakers or the Oneida community. Their
views of property are much the same as
those bodies hold, but their practices as
to married life are different. The COM
munity had its origin about seventy-five
years ago in Wurtemburg, Germany. For
a good while after the colony came to
this country marriage was considered an
irregularity. The cholera of 1882 made
frightful ravages among them. They
then began to consider the propriety OF
marriage. They esteemed it wrong to
to 90 outside and contract marriages
among the worlds people, and so they
married among themselves. They are
now the largest and most prosperous COM
munistic society in the United States, and
are exceedingly thrifty in their business
affairs. They own ten or twelve thou
sand acres of land, and are superior far
mers and millers. They believe in mil
lcnium of peace and glory, prior to which
the gospel will be preached all ~over the
world. Their religious services are much
the same as those of the leading Protest.

The subject of badness is once more

The subject of badness is once moro
under discussion, and We are etold, remarks
the Boston Courier, that one-halfof all
American men, above the age of thirty,
are partially bald; and, as this charac-
teristic is one of those most likely to be
transmitted from father to son, it is fair
to suppose that few generations hence
adult Americans with hair on their pates
will be rare. There are, of course, the
usual speculations to the effect that the
excessive mental activity of our people is
believed to be the chief cause of this
badness, while it is added that amedi-
cal authority advises against wearing the
hat so continuously, as many men 90,
and the wearing at any time of an un-
ventilated hat All of which is most i'm
proving and instructive, and all of which
will have no possible effect upon the
course we are pursuing. The idea OF a
bald-headed race of men is not an espec-
tally attractive one; but it may be that
with the change will come taste for it,
so that man with hair on his scalp will
be regarded as only fit for the dime mu-
scum.

ELEVEN LIVES LOST.

Three Life-Savers and Eight Sailors
Drowned of. .Barnegat.
The Austrian bark Kraljcica, bound for
New York with cargo Of salt from Porto
Re, was driven ashore at Barnegat shoals on
the New Jersey coast during the recent heavy
storm. The shock damaged her to such an
extent that Captain Mateveservlue and
the crew Of thirteen seamen aban-
doned it and started out in
the long boat in the fog for shore. Captain
Ridgway. Of Life Saving station II, discov-
cred the wrecked bark at daylight and
manned the large surf boat with a
crew of six life savers. He pulled out
through the fierce breakers to the wreck.
He turned the boat back, however,
when he found the bark deserted. There was
terrific sea and every moment was perllous TO
the life savers The crew rowed desperately TO
make their way to shore, but just as they got
within hundred yards of the beach wave
struck the boat broadside, overturned IL III all
instant and flung the life savers into the sea.
They clung to the boat for long time III
the desperate hope that it might be carried
upon the beach by the breakers. BUT 1t KEPT

at last they let 60 and started to swim TO the
beach. Captain Ridgway and three OF the
Soper, John I. Soper and Foreman Perlne
were drowned
The long boat of the bark had drifted with
the current southwark eleven miles, and then
it, too, was capsized by the tremendous seas.
CAPTAIN Mateveservlue and five seamen were
the only ones that got to shore alive. ElShV
seamen were drowned.

appear to have lost any of their faith in
the efficacy of vaccination for the small

law on the subject, for, beside ordinary
vaccination in the first year of infancy, it
provides for at least two subsequent re-
Vaccinations at intervals of from five to
seven years, so that by the time the child
has reached it's fifteenth year it will have
been vaccinated three times. Beside,

LEAP FOR FREEDOM.
Prominent Mormon Prisoner


A Prominent Mormon Prisoner
Jumps from Moving Train.
Ex-Delegate George @. Cannon, the Nor
mon leader who was arrested in Nevada and
was being brought back to Salt Lake City
by Unitee States Marshal Ireland and three
deputies for prosecution under the Ed
munds law, jumped from the overland
train near Promontory, Utah, on the 18th,
in an attempt to escape, and was severely
bruised. Cannon had given the officers MS
word of honor not to make any effort TO ge5
away, and, though pretty close watch was
kept on him, he was not treated as prisoner
Early in the morn ng when the train was
running at high rate OF speed, ne
passed through the sleeping car where
be was riding with the officers into the closet,
and thence to the platform, where pc sprang
from the train. His escape was discovered
in few minutes, and the train was stopped.
The officers went back and found cannon
sitting beside the track, bruised and too much
injured to walk. He was taken to Promon-
tory, where his injuries, which are not dah-
gerous, were attended to.
At Ogden, where the prisoner was to have
been transferred to q Salt Lake train. great
crowd of Mormons gathered with the hopeof
catching q glimpse of their leader. Wheh
the news OF Cannon's desperate effort to es-
cape arrived there was great excitement
Women ran up and down the streets CRYING
and wringing their hands out of sympathy
for Cannon. and would not believe that he
was not still alive. The Federal authorities
did not. think it wise to bring Cannon to Salt
Lake on a regular train, and in the
evening sent Special carrying twenty-six
soldiers and more deputy marshals to escort
him from Ogden to Salt Lake City. Can
hons arrest is looked upon by the Morlnons
as one of the most serious blows yet dealt
them, and conversely by the Gentiles as a
most effective stroke in support or the req
elal laws His desperation is pretty clcarly
shown by his daring effort to escape IRON h's
