ALVA MILTON KERR,
| POWERFUL STORY OF LIFE AND
SCENES AMONG THE LATTER
DAY SAINTS.

We shall shortly begin the publ
cation Of this Thrilling and Fascinat-
ing Work in these columns; every
one should read it. Mormonism is
to-day the Great Social Curse Of this
Nation, and "TREAN; or a NOR
MONS DAUGHTER" is to this
institution what "Uncie Toms
Cabin" was to Slavery.
Mr.. Kerr, its author, is writer OF
rare powers both in description and
in constructing plot, and in this
Story he has certainly far ecIipsed
all his previous efforts. He spent a
year in Utah studying Mormonism in
all its phases. Out Of the material
gathered he has constructed a
Grand Story.

He Was Respectable.

Many anecdotes are related about
the drOll sayings of the late Jonas
Hill, of Fayette. says the Lewiston
Jonrnal. He had peculiar way of
speaking. which those who heard him
will never forget but his pronunciation
can hardly be represented in print.
He was at one time sutton for the

did not favor him. Her fat er did not
think that the social standing of Jonas
was such as to render him fit match
for his daughter, but he told the young
man if he would bring him heightened
references he would consider his claim.
Jonas said nothing. but felt indignant
and resolved to have his revenge. So
he secured the best of Recommended
lions as to his character and standing
in society. The old man examined his
credentials and was satisfied. "All
right" said he. you are welcome.
Walk into my parlor, and your horse
shall be stabbed and fed" Not by
any means" replied Jonas. My 0h)
horse is neither hungry nor 0h dry.
and l shall never (th) darken your
(th) doors any more. Good-day. sir"

ssPolice" q New Word in 1853.

The word police has made many bold
attempts to get footing. 1 have seen
it more than once strongly recommended
in the papers, but as neither the word
nor the thing itself are Gs) much under
stood in London, fancy it will require
considerable time to bring it into
fashion; perhaps from an aversion to
the French, from whom this word is
borrowed; and something, under the
name of police, being already estab-
lShedin Scotland, English prejudice will
not soon be reconciled to it. Not long
ago at bagnio in Covent Garden, on
my complaining of some imposition. I
was told by q fair North Briton
that it was the regular estab-
lished police of the house. This, I own,
is the only time 1 have heard it used in
polite company; nor do 1 believe it has
yet made any considerable progress, ex-
cept in the newspapers, beyond the pur-
lieus of Covent Garden. Economy, pa
triotism, adequateness, privilege, and a
few other such like words, have lately
had their run, but now we hear no more
of them. I should not wonder, how

Anecdotes Abeut Powers.

The man who is to succeed does not
waste time in lAmenting his lack of OPP
rortunity or in Boosting what he would
do if ho had chance. When Hiram
Powers, who afterwards became a noted
sculptor, was young man, he travelled
- collector for q clock manufacturer
Of Cincinnati. Winter made the roads
impossible and the employer told Hi
ram to go into the factory and do there
what he could. The historian of Wood
stock, VT, where Hiram was born, tells
how the young man went, and stayed.
He made clocks after the old pat
terms, ard clocks after styles designed
by himself. A Snowman ordered an
organ which should play tunes when
turned by . crank. The foreman I'M
dertook the job, but failed. Hiram then
tried and succeeded.
A rival Snowman ordered an organ to
be run by clockwork, and to be decora-
ted with automaton figures. Hiram
made it. The figures represented six
girls and six boys. he made of wax; the
faces and hands he copied from living
children.
why, those heads must have been
brought from Europe; no one in Amer
ica could make them" said q French
man, on seeing them.
They were made by boy working
in this town." replied q bystander.
subsequently Hiram became the wax
figure maker, mechanician and inventor
for museum. He made q very accu-
rate figure of the proprietor, and an
swered critic who disparaged the fig
ure by a practical joke. He informed
the critic that he had modelled in wax
the figure of q popular comedian, and
wished to submit the work to his judg-
ment before exhibiting it. The flat
tered critic accompanied Hiram to the
museum loft, where the figure was
posed.
this is very like" said the critic,
after surveying the figure. Does you
credit, Powers; but I'm sorry to say
you've failed in the eyebrows-not
drawn down enough"
Look again, said Powers. The critic
held the lighted candle under the tip of
the figures nose ITO his horror the fig
ure exclaimed, take care! don't burn
my nose!" The candle was dropped, the
critic ran down stairs. He never after
wards criticised Powers wax figures.
When Hiram was twenty-five, q bust
in marble, Canova's Washington" was
exhibited in Cincinnati. He went to
see it, gazed on it in silence for a long
time, and then exclaimed, "That is what

Difficult Sight Seeing I'm Pekin.

A traveller who recently returned
from Pekin asserts that there is plenty
to smell in that city, but. very little to
see. Most of the show places such as
the Temple Of Haven and the Marble
Bridge have one by one been closed to
outside barbarian. who cannot even
bride their way. The houses are all
very low and mean, the streets are
wholly unpaved and are always very
muddy and dusty, and as there are no
sewers or cesspools the filthiness Of the
town is indescribable. He adds that
the public buildings are small, and in a
decayed and tumble-down condition,
and the nearest one can get to the EN-
peror's palace is to climb to the top Of
some building outside the sacred in
closure and surreptitiously peep over
the wall through an opera glass. Even
then he does not see much.
