A National Revival.

Editor san Antonio Light.
There are ssigns OF great national re-
yival of religion. Vast quantities OF
seed have been sown, from pulpit and
Sunday school from the press in tracts
and books and newspapers; from Jealous
labors in countless forms.
The whole people are shocked by the
frequency and startling enOrmity Of
crime. 1t Is but too evident that only
mighty divine power can save US from a
sad catastrophe.
A divine energy ia at work in the
Army of the Saints of the Most
High. The power Of the High
est gives signs Of being about
to be revealed In glorious triumph,
raising up the fallen and despised ;
setting the imprisoned in sinful chains.
free in the liberty of sons OF God. The
holy volume Is radiant with promises.
The world never had friend like the
Lord Jesus; they shall look, in the latter
day, upon Him "whOm they pierced,
and shall mourn for Him as for an only
child" There is time to come when
men shall cease to learn war; when love
and good works, and justice, and moral
purity, and truth and knowledge shall
over all prevail. The revivalist, now in
San Antonio, is helping to roll on the
wheels. Could our eyes be opened, who
knows but the whole mountain as in
Elijah's day would be seen full OF bright
angelic inlellige0ces In the cause Of
salvation. CHRISTIAN.

The Mormons,

SALT LAKE, February l6.-The Mormon,
Elder Morris, pleaded guilty to unlaw-
full cohabitation and was sentenced yes
terday to six months imprisonment and
$50 fine. The wife of George Q. Can
non, Martha Sully, was before the Grand
Jury in the afternoon. She refused to
answer question as TO whether she WAS
pregnant with child by George Q. Can
non, whereupOn, in view of her delicate
condition, she was given until this af
ternoon to consider. Her bonds were
S2500 additional, or 5000 in all. The
city has been much stirred all day
over the Cannon case. A telegram from
the Marshal said that he jumped the
train at Promontory, but was recap
tured in half an hour. He telegraphed
his Mormon friends that he fell off the
train accidentally and was coming on
after it as fast as he could. A special
train, with 20 soldiers, started at $50
this evening for PrOmontOry to bring in
officers and prisoner. The troops have
been sent on the requisitiOn of the Mar
shall, endorsed by the Governor. II.

Alleged Cure for HydrOphobi a.

Postmaster Howard received the fol-
lowing letter which explains itself, and
which he has kindly given to the LIGHT
FOR publication:
"a correspondent of Philadelphia
paper writes that for 30 years past far
mer named Fry, residing near Allen
town, Pa, has treated hydrophObia with
unyarying success by the following sim
pie method:
The patient is to be kept free from
excitement of every sort, especially
from that caused by the visits from sym
pathizing friends. The medicine Is to
be prepared by taking one ounce OF
elecampane root, powdered 4; one
tablespoonful of madden, and one quart
of new sweet milk, and boiling
them all together slowly lin a water
bath, If possibie), until reduced to n
pint. The dose is one wineglassful once
day. for three days, then intermit
three days, then repeat, and intermit
again, and again repeat; that is, nine
wine glassfuls are taken in all, and there
are in!ermssions of three days after
every three days that the medicine ID
given.
In support of the efficacy of this treat
Mr.. Reed and Daniel .Mershon were
bitten at Germantown by rabid
dog; that Mr.. Reed was treated
by an eminent physician and died of n.y.
drophobia, while Mershon, under Fry 3
treatment, never suffered at all. A
young man named Jacoby, and daugh-
ter-in-law of John Boyer, at the corner
of Mill street and Shelton Avenue, under
similar treatment recovered from the
dreadful disease about 20 years ago, and
in 1858 q police man so far gone with ny
drophobia as to be held in the carriage
in which he was driven through Ger
mantown to Mr.. Fry's residence, was al
so treated with entire success. A num-
Der of additional cases are quoted, in all
of which the remedy described is claimed
to have effected complete cures.
Dear Sir: l see in the Richmond
Dispatch an account of little boy..hav.
ing been bitten by a rabid fox in the
vicinity of San Antonio, and felt called

opportunity to test the remedy, but GER
tainly would have done so If one had
been afforded me. The little boy re.

Chicago. February l6.-The great Nc
Cormick reaper works closed down at Q
this morning. Not wheel is turning
and l4,000 employees have begun to un-
dergo siege Of enforced idleness. The
threat Of certain employees to precipitate
a strike unless the non-union men work
ing in the moulding department were
dismissed, appears to be the cause OF the
suspension. At meeting OF dissatisfied
employees last night. committee was
appointed to wait upon Mccormick to-
day and insist upon their demand. Mr..
Mccormick had limited at Yesterdays
conference that If this condition was in
sisted on, he would shut down indeii-
nitely. To-day he declined to meet the
committee, saying that his time was
otherwise fully taken up and ordered
the suspension of operations. Very few
of the employees are in good circum-
stances, and If the lockout is long main
tanned, many families will suffer for the
bare necessities Of life.

Simple and EASY.

The tariff, my son? Oh, it's a simple
thing, II yeu'll only give it about five
minutes study. There is a great deal
Of talk made over IL, but so there is al
ways much talk about everything. The
true principle OF protection and free
trade, for they must ever go together, is
this: Whatever you have to buy should
be admitted entirely free Of any duty,
away down to bottom prices and what
ever you have to sell should be protect
ed away up TO 100 in the shade. All men
OF all parties are agreed on that. "Then
why do they wrangle and quarrel so
loudly about tariff reform?" Oh, that's
quite another matter. That is because
they are not agreed on what to buy and
SELL Burdette.
