Witty Toasts.

Good after dinner speakers are among
the most popular of men amor people
who cultivate the art of dining. The
flashes of wit which draw forth roars of
laughter and applause are sometimes un-
premeditated, But probably they are
more frequently thought out and re-
hearsed in advance. Impromptu or not,
we ell like a witty speech and d witty
toast. Chambers journal has collected
some witty and amusing toasts given at
banquets, and, in reading them, n "a
only SIGH, Would l had been therel'
A rather cynical toast ran thus: "Wo-
Dan-she requires no eulogy: she speaks
for herself"
A gallant young man. under the same
festal circumstances, referred to one
member of the sex he eulogized as ga
delectable dear, SO sweet that honey
would blush in her presence, and treacle
stand appalled,"
At the marriage supper of q deaf and
dumb couple, guest, in the speech
of the evening, wished them 'unspeak-
able bliss"
A writer of comedies was given a
banquet in honor of his latest work, at
which q jovial guest gavo the toast:
"The authors very good healtht May

;sThe bench and the bar: If it Were not
for the bar, there would be little use for

As pithy was the following toast, pro-
posed at a shoemaker's dinner: sMay

shoe, and all the men to boot"

DEFENDING MORMONS.
AN ADDRESS FROM THE LArreR-
DAY SAINTS.

They Represent Themselves ~ Q Much.
Mallgncd Community OF P~eaceahlo and
Law AbtLing Citizens, Denying that
Their Church Usurps Temporal Power.
MILFORD Woodruff, George Q. Cannon,
and Joseph F. Smith, president and apostles
Of the Mormon church, have issued q long
address to the people of the Unitsd States
in defense OF the church against the
charres Of disloyalty TO government and
resulted in the disfranchisement Of its
members They solemnly declare that the
church views with adherence the shielding
of human blood except IN pursuance Of
the mandate of Q legally constituted court
of law: they deny that apostates have ever
heen murdered by Mormons OF that the
church either counsols or c~ountenances
such vengeance.
The church, they say, neither exercises
nor claims the right to exercise civil or
judicial functions. The church does not
claim the right to interfere with citizens
rights in u way. Free agency and in
dividual accountability to God are among
the essential Of the church doctrine. They
declare hat nothing is done in the en-
dowment ceremonies, nor Is there in any
doctrine or injunction of the church, pub.
lie or private, anything hostile or intended
to lie hostile to the government of tho
United States.
ihey deciare the church does not claim
to be an independent temporal kingdom
of God arising to overthrow the United
States or any other governments. It has
been organized by divine revelation pre-
paratory to the second advent of the
Redeemer, and ''the kingdom of God is at
hand" Its members are commanded
of God to be subject unto the
powers that he until Christ comes, whose
right it is 10 reign, as they contend
that the church and civil government
IRE distinct and separate in theory and
practice, regarding it as part Of their
destiny to aid in the maintenance and
perpetuity of the institutions Of our
country. They claim no religious liberty
they are unwilling to accord to others, and
ask no civil rights not granted and
guaranteed to citizens in general, desiring
to he in harmony with the government
and the people of the United States as an
integral part Of the nation.

last vestige of color left his face, aud for
an instant those watching him feared
that he would collapse in faint. At the
words mot guilty" the color in his cheeks
responded slowly. but he was partially

panlons in crime was pronounced-E before
he could realize his situation. Attorney
Foster reached over to him. and, giving
his hand a friendly grasp, assured him
That he was once more q free man.

You have been discharged" repeated
his lawyer. Then it was that the suspect
attorney rallied and realized his position.
His face beamed with u joy aud gratitude
that only the impatient, anxious prisoner
can feel at hearing words of liberty
spoken to him. Tears lenpcd to his blue
eyes, but he held them back, and at the
bidding of his lawyer walked over to the
retiring jurymen and thanked them for
their verdict in his behalf. His release
was, 10 say the least, a pleasant surprise.
He expected a worse fate.
1t was some seconds before Kunze,
who sat at the other end of the dock,
realized his fate. When he did he filed
up like a whipped child, and at once
commanded the sympathy of tho large
a~ssemblage, including court, jury and
lawyers. He could not long restrain the
sobs that rolled up from his bleeding
heart, and quickly gave vent to his grief
in cries and complaints. kunze has been
the happy-go-lucky, playful occupant of
the dock all through the trial. BY his
attitude he convinced all that he expect

his face in his hands and cried bitterly
over his three years sentence, the people
responded with smothered expressions of
compassion.
With the other three it was vastly diff
ferent. They were unconcerned until
they heard the verdict read, and then
they, one and oil, gave n sigh of relief,
and their faces were at once mantled in
smiles of satisfaction. They had no
doubt expected the death sentence, but,

in unexpected luck. In short. Burke,

the subject of smokeless powder for

John Gallagher died at Butte, Mont,
from the effects of injuries received from
G. III. Ward III the most brutal fist fight on
record. which took place there on the
Sunday before. The cause of the fight
was a dispute between the men over a
tritiing account connected with a house
which Gallagher had built for Ward. Only
The principals and n dozen others were
present. One hundred and five rounds were
fought, all fiendish in brutality, the men
fighting like tigers. Gallagher's loft arm
was broken by a blow in the forty eighth
round, but he fought on. In the ninety
eighth round Ward caught Gallagher off
under the chin, knocking him senseless. He
partially recovered and fought seven more
rounds i'll q dazed condition, receiving
horrible punishment until knocked out in
the ll5th.

Forrest entered his motion for a new

The verdict of the cronin jury has sent a

three of the men on trial who were shown
by the evidence to have been directly con-

trial, with more moderate sentences or

verdict of the Chicago public. There
