ney Rigdon, who was engaged in the trans
latlon and in the subsequent spread of Nor
monlsm. Rigdon afterward became an
apostate, and died in Friendship, Allegheny
county, few years ago. The original
manuscript of Spaulding's work was lost for
many years; but in 1885 it was discovered in
In the Sandwich Islands, and it is now in
the library of Hiram College in Ohio.
But what became of the original manu-
script OF the Mormon Biblea This is where
David Whitmer becomes of interest. There
were, years ago, rumors that he had these
pages In his possession, and the writer sent
to him plain inquiry, which brought back
this answer:
RICHMOND, Mo, Dec %, 1879.
DEAR SIR: In reply to your inquiry can say
that am one Of the witnesses referred to and
am yet alive.
have in my possession the original manu-.
scripts referred to, and they are in a perfect
state of preservation and l know of what
speak. Yours truly, etc. DAVID WHIrMER.
Some months later the following came
from member of the family:
David Whitmer requests me to say to you that
It Is not wisdom in him to grant your request at
this time TO have page of the original manu-
script photographed, etc.
II granted he would be called upon by others,
perhaps in the same way, and it might lead to
much annoyance, If nothing more.
They are in his possession in good state OF
preservation, and have been seen by many OF
our citizens, including lawyers, doctors, profes
sors of learning, editors, and preachers of va
nous denominations He regards his as a sacred
trust, and we feel curious to know the import of
your article, well as the character of the
illustration, if any is intended. OF course he
could not comply under any circumstances
without knowing what would accompany the
insertion of the photograph.
1t is known that Mr. Whitmer was dared
by the Mormons to produce the manuscript;
also that he was threatened if he did not
produce it. To neither of these hostile &C
tions did he ever pay the slightest heed. 1t
is the universal opinion that only part Of
this manuscript ever found its way into
print as the Mormon Bible Therefore the
exposure of the whole manuscript to the
world is an event that is looked forward to
with the greatest interest by all those who
have made the Mormons and their doings
a matter of study and investigation. There
may be much in the pages now about to see
the light, which will explain some of the
early record of the Mormons by furnishing
links that are missing, and by reconciling
testimony that is conflicting. The result
of the exposure, therefore, cannot but be
beneficial all round,

INTERRUPTED BLISS.
A Bridegroom Dragged on His We'd
ding Day by Two Rivals.
From the Pitfsbtro Dispntcb

From the PittsburQ Dispatch
WILKEsBARRE, Feb. 26-Miss Hattie
Fenner is one of the bellies of West Pittston.
She is a daughter of a well-to-do merchant
and decidedly good looking. Beside, she is
an heireSs, and when she comes in posses
sion of her fathers property she will be
worth $50, 600 in her own name
The fact that she was heiress made her
the object of much sohcitude on the part of
many of the young men in town, and she
received many proposals of marriage, but
rejected them all but one. The fortunate
one was Robert Hotson, the son of a
wealth neighbor Miss Fenner agreed to
marry him, and the wedding day was set
for Thursday last.
Over 200 wedding invitations had been
issued. At o'clock in the evening the resi-
dence of the brides father was crowded
with the elite of Pittston and surroundings.
An archway had been erected in the parlor,
under which the nuptial knot was to be tied,
and two rooms in the rear were filed with
wedding presents. The minister was wait
ing, and all eyes turned to the hallway
where the bride and groom were to enter.
At the appointed hour for the ceremony,
the orchestra struck up the wedding
March, and the bridal couple descended the
stairs. AL at once Hotson threw up his
hands and fell over in faint. The bride,
who leaned on his arm, thought her in
tended was dying, and she, too, tainted.
For while there was great consterna-
ton. The young man was carried to a
room upstairs, and physicians summoned
They decided that Hotson had been drugged
and was very sick. The wedding was ac-
cordingly declared off, and all the guests
left for home.
HotSon has somewhat recovered, but the
affair has created so much talk that the
marriage will probably never take place
Two of Hotson's friends, who we're his rivals
for Miss Fenner's hand, are accused of drug

The Man Who Invented the Monitor.

Captain John Ericsson, the illustriou'
engineer and inventor, was born in
Wermland, Sweden, July 81, 1903, and
at the age of ten began, by the con-
struction of a windmill and pumping
engine the creative work, that at the
age of cighty-four, he risky continues.
His father was a mine proprietor, and
the boys earliest experience was with
mac thinery. At tw.lve he was made
cadet of mechanical engineers, and at
seventeen he entered the Swedish army
as an ensign. He rapidly reached a
lieutcna7cy il consequence of the
beauty OF his militlry maps, which
attracted the attention of King Charles
John (Bcrnadotte). In 1926, while in
London on leave of absence to introduce
a flame engine, he sent his resignation
home. 1t was accepted, after he had
first been promoted to the rank of
captain. He never returned to Sweden
but his native country has sent him
many honors and decoratio-s, and in
1868 a great granite monument was

Where the Heart Is.


Some day, at the sunset, the feet shall
rest
On the height whose rugged ascent
Hath flltd with heart-weary throbbings the
breast,
And the bloom of the cheek hath blent,
With the whiteness Of moon-kisaed SHOWS
Resting there then, in fames radiant
glow,
The traveller shall sadly look down,
Beholding the vale where loves blossoms
grow,
And longing to yield fame's crown
For one breath of loves tender rose
For, ever it seems, where the hill tops lie,
4 most glorious place to be,
With the white-capped clouds swift hurrying
by
And the break of griefs throbbing
sea
Far sounding as in misty dreams.
And the snow-touched blossoms that
crown the height
Seem the fairest of all that blow;
Yet tho feet that climb are weary at
night,
And the vale that lieth below
Sings Of home in the sunset CLEANS.
