A COURSE OF READINGS.
The Series of Books Published by
the Contributor

There have just been published by
the Contributor, a series of five books as
reading matter recommended to the
Young Mems Mutual Improvement
Associations, for time course of read
ing. They are 1.-The Gospel" by Elder
B II. Roberts: life of NeDhi," by
Apostle George Q. Cannon; First book
of Nature" by PROBES ,or j. E. Tai
mage: Dickens History of England"
and Readings from Washington Try
ing" OF the last two works nothing
need to be said. The names of the
authors are world wide and their
styles and merits known wherever the
English language is spoken. Ger
tainly no better selection of gen
eral works could nave been
made for an introductory course
OF reading than these two, since they
combine lIghtness with matter that all
should be familiar with. As to the other
works, these are of purely local pro-
ductioD. The mere announcement that
Apostle George @. Cannon had written
book is sufficient to recommend it to
all in the inter mountains, not only as
handled in a masterful style, but as
containing matter that all should make
themselves acquainted with. When
this work is on the life of so noted
O laracter in Book of Mormon historv,
naturally the interest IS increased :,
since no one is more fitted to write upon
the subject, and perhaps no one has
given to that subj c. more thought or
intelligent investigation than Apostle
Cannon. It will undoubtedly form q
valuable acquisition to the literature of
its class, and will prove both
pleasant and instructive reading. 1.-The
Gospel" of Mr.. Roberts shows that
gentleman in theme that is of the Ut
most Importance to him, aud he has
done consistent and persistent work in
forcing il to the attention of others.
This work clearly and distinctly brings
before the mind of the reader the sub
ject which the title of the work sug-
gests, and will be found to g We all VINO

taught by the LatteI-Iay Saints. 1t is

first work as an author and certainly
it gives promise of many more works in

UNABLE TOMAKE SETTLEMENT
The Danger of Deferring Action-The

age-SOme GOOD Suggestions

WASHINGTON, December 1.-The gov
eminent directors of the Union Pacific
Railroad, in their annual report to the
-acretary of the Interior, say they have
assumed as promise now beyond the
scope of discussion, the necessity OF the
adjustment between the government
and the railroad company For the pay
ment of funds heretofore advanced as
subsidy for building the road. The
money becomes due, says the report, by
the terms of the agreement between the
parties, in few years, and 1t is mani
fest the road is not now, aud will not
then be, in condition to satisfy its
obligation. 1t is equally manifest that
should such adjustment not be effected,
the government would be compelled to
take possession of the road and operate
| it, a result so
FELL, OF DANGEROUS EMBARRAssMENTs
and difficulties that it should not be al
lowed to enter into discussion except
as a last and unavoidable solution OF
the problem not otherwise to be solved
The government directors are still of
the opinion that it would be better for
the United States to lose every dollar of
its debt and execute release to the
company than undertake the duties OF
a c mmon carrier of goods and pas
sengers, thereby establishing precs-
dent which would surely create mis-
chief far beyond the benefits to be
reaped from so hazardous an expert
ment. Thrust be clear, too, says the
report, that every year that is allowed
to pass without liquidation and settle
ment of the debt increases to a serious
extent the difficulties of the situation.

A Universal Postage Stamp.

At tho first blush the idea appeared
excellant; but unfortun ately the Postal
Union convention itself was the first to
interpose an insurmountable obstacle.
As already stated, one of the vital prin-
ciples OF tho original convention is
that each country shalt retain the
postage which it collects. If n univer-
sal stamp were used, then, what guar
antee would there be that the country
who sold the stamps and got the profit
had done the work for which it had
been paid? None whatever; and more
over, it was found on closer examina-
ton that the monetary system in force
in some of the countries of the Postal
Union would not lend themselves to a
universal stamp. Thus, for example,
the 25- cent-time stamp which prepays
half ounce Tor fifteen grammos) letter
from Franco to Italy to England. is
represented in Germany by 20 pfen-
ming stamp; but 20 pfenning are. in
reality. worth quarter of q centimo
less than Is confines; and so with the
ten Krenzer Austrian stamp which,
although it does duty in Austria
Hungary for Is confines in preparing
a letter. is actually four confines less
in value. The idea, therefore. of the
universal postage stamp. to which the
originator chung fondly to the last had
after all. to be abandoned. At the
various postal congresses. which have
from time to time been held ii has al
ways been agreed among several ad-
ministrations concerned that three
special exceptions should be made to
the system Of accounting for foreign
mails at the ordinary fixed rate and by
periodical statistics. These exceptions
| are: For the conveyance Of British
and other mails across the Isthmus
railway between Panama and Colon.
for the transmission Of foreign mails
across the continent of America by ex'
press service from San Francisco to
New York, and from the overland
Indian mail via Brindisi. All these are
paid for by net weight-Natsonal Re

Champagne Cup and Birds.

Champagne cup is the fashionable cup
after the theatre, and, like Cowper's
famous line to tea, st cheers but not
inebriates." 1t is made in tall glass
pitcher of the tankard shape. The in
gradients are quart of champagne, q
bottle of English soda, slices of lemon,
pineapple, few strawberries and the
rinds of cucumbers, which are cut the
full length of the cucumbers. This
gives a delightful flavor and looks at
tractive through the pitcher. 1t must,
of course, be real cut glass. And on top
oh, that is the browning glory-a
boquet of mint, through which the
liquid percolates as it is poured into each
glass, carrying with it the delicious
taste. The whole concoction is fit for
the gods. It is the beau ideal of a
beverage. Everybody eats birds at Del
monico's, at night-that is, everybody
who amounts to anything-and cham

Mr.. Kelley,s Thirty thousand Dollars.
Pittston Pa) Gazette, May %,
So much interest has been shown in
various ways in Mr. NJ. A. Kelleys for
tunate investments in the monthly
schemes of the Louisiana State lottery
that it has been deemed of sufficient
public interest to find out what Mr..
Kelley thinks about it. Learning that
Mr.. Kelley had received the $50, 900
through the Miners Savings bank,
Gazette reporter interviewed him yes
terday He said he simply bought one
fifth of ticket No. 55,315, which drew
the first capital prize of $780, 900, for
which he paid So, just as he would have
nut up margin upon a bit of stock
from Gould & Co.'S Wall street list, and
he was surprised to learn that there
were men in town who knew OF the
value of the ticket week before he was
advised. There was, therefore, no pos
sible chance of collision through any
one here with the Louisiana company,
indicating that the lottery as game OF
chance was conducted honestly. AS Mr..
Kelley is one of the steady young bnsl-
ness men of the town who understands the
value of money. and has the intelligence
to use it proftably, there is no question
that the $780, so suddenly dropped
into his purse will be of benefit to him
self and the public. That Mr.. Kelley
has the appreciative interest of the pub
lie is indicated in the fact that he has
been Pittston's borough tax receiver for
two successive terms and has done the
work to the entire satisfaction OF the
several departments of the borough gov
eminent to which he had to make an ac-
counting. He has been engaged IN the
grocery business for the past few years,
on Pine street, and has driven success
full trade. As Mr. Kelley informs the
reporter that with a needed proportion
of the $50, 900 he means to push the in
terests of much needed household ap-
pliance, and will establish agencies all
over the United States. And in this
way he thinks the Louisiana Lottery
company will be able to do great deal
of appreciable missionary work. What
some other people would do with $50, 0OC
was detailed in the Gazette few days
ago. Mr.. Kelley's determination to put
it into business has merit and may prove
profitable.

By one of those unexpected turns OF

dozen years ago was hod carrier, had
become comparatively wealthy. This

be the latest styles. She has, also, not
withstanding, an utter disability to read,
affected fine literary taste, which she
ostentatiously announces whenever pos
sible. Calling upon lady whom she
had been trying to make herself ac-
auainted with, she picked up book
from the table, and innocent of any
knowledge that it was a copy OF the
Bible, asked the loan of it for q little
time, as ''she had not the book in hen
