Brigham Young Turns corner.

Brigham Young often had to ex-
ert the whole of his wonderfully
quick wit in order to preserve the
faith that his followers had in him,
but he was generally equal to the
occasion. A certain elder while
chopping wood, had cut his leg so
badly that it had TO be amputated.
As soon as he was able he came to
Young and stated his case to him
somewhat as follows: II have al
ways been a good Mormon; I have
several wives and good mahy
children, and in my present MAIN
cd condition | do not know how /
am to provide for them. believe
truly that you are Christs repre-
sentative on earth, and that you
have all the power that he had. If
yon like, You can work miracles;
ifyou like, you can give me a new
leg, and now I ask you y do it"
Young assented to all the hattoring
propositions as they were laid
down, and when the elder had fin.
ished speaking he said: Il can
give you a new leg, and l will, but
I want you to think about it little
at first. When the day Of judg-
ment comes, wherever you are
buried, your old leg will find you
out and join itselfto you, but if l
give you new one that will rise
with you too, and the question is
whether you would rather suffer
the inconvenience Of getting along
with one for a few years here OF

legs" The choice was quickly
made, and Brigham Young's repu.

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. July 2. lsss.

AN Nv NNANAANNtA" W. 80
action in nominating Benjamin
Harrison and Lew P. Norton vir-
tually removed all the elements of
uncertainty from the campaign.
The general sentiment of the Dem
ocrats in Congress is that the Re
publieans could not have put mp a
weaker ticket if they had tried.
Harrison has been defeated time
after time in his own State and
Morton is only an old money
bags" Both of them are about as
far removed from the people as it
is possible for them to be.
Henry George was in this city
on Saturday last. He predicts
that Cleveland will be reelected,
and that he will carry California
and Michigan.
There we're never so many Dem
ocratic clubs in existence as at
present, and yet hardlya night pass
es that new one is not organized.
Washington will send thousands to
Baltimore on the 4th TO take part
in the great convention and parade
of clubs.
Last week was a very important
one politically. First, the Repub-
licans nominated their ticket to be
defeated; next, Mr. Cleveland was
officially notified Of his re-nomina-
ton, also Judge Thurman; the Ma
tional Democratic committee or
gained for the campaign by re-
electing ex-senator VIM. II. Bar
mum chairman, and he, after con-
sultation with Mr.. Cleveland and
other influential members OF the
party has announced the executive
committee; quarters in New York
city have been secured for the per-
manent headquarters of the Nation
al committee, and from this time
on work of the hardest kind is to
be the watchword.
Representative Matson, who is
the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Indiana, was asked what
chance Harrison had of carrying
that State. He said: 81 don't see
how he is going to do it. Gray's
majority in 1884 was ,392 and
Cleveland's 6,531. Where Harri-
son is to get the votes to overcome
this majority, I cannot imagine.
He is distasteful to the Greenback
and Labor element who hold the
balance of power.
Owing to the obstructive tactics
of the Republicans in the House
and the slowness ofthe Republican
Senate it became necessary to pass
joint resolution extending the old
appropriations for 30 days into the
new fiscal year.
Mr.. Mills says that his tariff bill
will be passed by the House before
the first Of August. He says fur
Their that he has received hundreds
of letters from Republicans in all
sections Of the country commend.

The Charming stephanie.


At this time we in Frauzensbad have one
common object-to stare at the Crown Prin-
cess Stephanie who has been taking the cure
here for some weeks, and who is charming
looking enough to make the staring very
agreeable. She goes through all the routine
of the day as faithfully as everybody else, and
begins it as early. You may know at the
Franzensque lie when she is coming by the
little stir and rustic among the crowd, every
head turned in one direction, and she is so
tall that she has no chance of approaching UNI
perceived. Without being exactly beautiful,
she has many beauties-you th, pretty color
ing, a good figure and a very pleasant smil G..
All round you hear the words $50 hubsch, so
freundlichln Franzenshad is exceedingly
proud of having her as visitor, and has done
its utmost to welcome her. The little town
streams with flags, the yellow and black Of
Austria, and the red, black and yellow of
Belgium; arches are erected, and the fir
branches Of which they are composed are con-
stantly renewed a sort of bower-made of
oleanders and other towering shrubs has
been formed for her In the park, and there
are Stephanie gavottes and Stephanie hand
kerchiefs, and Stephanie tarts, and all manner
of ingenious adaptations.

In Pure Water and leo.
Baltimore sun.


ait is very hard, says Professor Tonry "to
convince some people that a glass of perfectly
clear, colorless water, with no odor or taste,
may DO more impure than water coming from
the kitchen sink which has been used to wash
cooking utensils, yet in many cases / have
found such water" This is u striking state
ment, but Mr.. Tonry is able TO demonstrate
that It is based on multitude Of well-studied
facts There is no absolutely pure water in
nature but there are limits beyond which the
contamination of drinking or cooking water
cannot be safely allowed to go. The presence
of chlorine IN water indicates the kind Of or
ganic impurity dangerous to health drop
Of solution of nitrate of silver is a convenient
test. II 1t produces in tumbler of the water
in question a white cloud, chlorine and its
related impurities are present to a probably
dangerous extent. Boiling will as rule, de-
stroy disease germs. The popular theory that
freezing purihes water Mr., Tonry thinks is in
correct. "Pure ice, he says, sis almost AZ
hard to obtain as pure water" lie mentions
a case where typhoid fever was traced directly
TO the use Of impure ice

MARY ANpERsON'S GOWNS.



Ne3g York Herald
Miss Anderson's handsome manager,
Mr. Abud, and the mistress Of the ward
robe spent most Of Sunday twisting
and tying up and steaming our Mary's
gowns to make them appear artistic
They are all made la Gree and are de-
signed by Alma Tadema, who, according
to Miss Anderson, is far ahead of Worth
in artistic gownlng. Always speak of
gowns when you speak to Miss Anderson
about clothes. She hates befriled and
trimmed-up dresses, and she would not
wear Paris dress for anything.
Well, these Greek gowns are made out
of liberty materials. They were mostly
cut out and draped by the fair actress
herself, although some one else did the
sewing. AS Hermione in the first act of
"a Winters Tale she Is to be In white
with n long crimson cloak embroidered
in silver key pattern. In the trial scene
she is TO wear white entirely.
This dress is remarkably beautiful in
material, and shows best as the Queen
sits dropping before the court A be-
witching salmon colored dress, with sill
yer clasps, and flowers in her unbound
hair, is TO be worn when she first appears
as Perditd, and then as the statue she is
all in pure marble white. This last has
been crumpled the most, and with it is
to be worn white wig.
Miss Anderson never wears wig eX-
cept when she cannot help it. Her own
hair is luXuriant and reaches her waist.

at has always seemed to me-" the
philosopher observed the other morning,
"that fair test OF feminine character
and intelligence is afforded at the thea
ter whenever Romeo and Juliet Is
played"
"And in what way?" the editor asked,
languidly following up the conversation,
because it had happened that he had
been able now and then to appropriate
an idea from the philosopher, and hoped
that this might be case in point.
Haven't you ever noticed" the other
replied, that there are always some
women--about half of those in the
theater-who laugh at the balcony scene2
They either find it silly or suggestive

eyes. If man is in love with a
woman, let him take her to see Romeo
and Juliet, and if she laughs at the
balcony scene he will abandon her
straightway If he has any sense"
(Which men in love so proverbially do
have. However, your idea" the Editor
assented, patronizingly, isn't wholly a
bad one. The woman who laughs at
sentiment lacks both sense and sensibil-
ity, and perhaps your test will do quite
as well as any other. 1t is, after all, an
impossibility to tell anything about most
women by ordinary means, but take
them off their guard in this fashion and
one may learn something"

BALLOONINa IS HARD WORK.


London saturday Rerisw.
We do not hear Of ignorant people
flying up in balloons, but that is because
these vehicles are more difficult to OBJ
tain than gigs or boats, also, because
ballooning is not nearly such good fun
as riding, driving or boating. Neither is
it necessary that the ballooner--a much
better word than qeronaut--should be
ignorant to put his actions on the level
with those we have described However
expert he may be, he is as much at the
mercy of accidents as the merest bungler
in boat. The wind blows him about.
He gets freezing cold and cannot help
himself.
His machine bumps against trees and
things when he is coming down, because
1t is whirling helplessly about, and, as
his ballast has been already thrown out
to smash the Conservatives and hats of
the lieges, he cannot go up again. The
bump throws him out and he breaks his
nose and his snuff-box. Every now and
then he is dipped in salt water and
dragged out by the passing smack. The
crew revives him with salt horse and
Hamburg gin bought from North sea
cooper, which gives him bad headache.
Why he goes through all this nobody
knows.
He sees nothing when he is up, and
when he Is down he sees what the rest of
us do who trust to our legs. At times
he does a little science of the kind which
proves the already proved and entirely
unimportant for the hundredth and
tiftieth time. He is immensely proud Of
this, and the scientific papers mention
him. 1t is very right to him to make
the most of his luck, but whether it was
worth while to go through so much to
obtain so little is question. To be sure,
it is no use arguing the point with him.
The true ballooner thinks it credita-
BILE thing to show over and over again that
he will risk broken bones and drowning
to show that Montgolfier had found out
all about the machine a long time ago,
If he likes the occupation he must be al
lowed to follow 1t, since we live in a
time of freedom. The only course open
to those who do not share his faith is to
keep on telling him he is q silly fellow,
and to make him pay damages for the
things he breaks with his ballast, his
grapnel and his chr
