"reminiscences of the Prophets
Martyrdom.
County Recorder Daniels Distinctly Re-
calls to Mind the Excitement Attend
ing the Crime.

Forty-seven years ago yesterday oc-
curreu the martyrdom of Joseph and
Hyrum Smith, at Carthage jail, Han
cock county, Ill. Our county recorder,
James E. Daniels, was at that time at
Quincy, ILL.,, distance Of about forty
miles from the scene of the terrible
tragedy. He was then a boy of seven
teen summers, but distinctly recollects
the occasion. The news flashed to
Quincy and was announced by the toll
ing of firebells and the blowing OF fog
horns on the ferry boats. One young
fellow, who had just arrived from Car
thage, ran to the public square where
the people We're gathered, and, throw
ing his hat into the air, shouted at the
top of his voice, "Hurrah, 10 Smith is
killedp
The late President John Taylor, who
was present and wounded on the occa-
sion. says: 81 was sitting at one OF the
front windows of the jail when saw
a number of men, with painted faces,
coming around the corner of the jail,
and aiming toward the stairs. The
other brethren had seen the same, for,
as | went to the door, found Brother
Hyrum Smith and Dr.. Richards al
ready leaning against it. They both
pressed against the door. with their

on the left side of the nose, entering
his face and head. At the same in

entered his back passing through his
body and striking his watch. The ball

window, opposite the door, and must,

A Model Domestic Ouarre1

PUEBLO, Colo, June 27.-Mrs. Har-
rington and Mrs. Cassell had heated
quarrel tonight. There was a time
when they exchanged neighborly con-
tidences, but that time seems to have
passed. Yesterday they INDUCED in a
scrap, and common report says that
frills, embroidery, hair. stove lifters
and other feminine belongings were
numerous in the atmosphere at that
particular time. The ARRAY created a
tremendous sensation in the neighbOr-
hood, as both ladies are eminently re-
spectacle. and there must have been a
dreadful lot of womanly heartburnings
before they came into actual personal
conflict. Mrs. Harrington claims that

Heavy HaiIstones .

DENVER, Colo, June 27.-The hail
storm which accompanied the down
pour of rain and electrical disturb
ance yesterday afternoon Was one of
the most severe this city has ever ex-
perienced, the stones being of unusu-
ally large size, some of them measur-
ing two and one-half inches in diane

pound. In the vicinity of Highlands,
the hail was exceedingly heavy. Mr..
s. l.. Phillips, resident of Highlands.
picked up number OF hailStones dur
ing the storm which were slightly
larger than hens eggs. They were al
most as hard as rocks, and ten of them
weighed pound. They did not, sin

recover and be able to give the weight
of his experience in the councils of the
Liberals, he is not expected to really
lead his party again. The more one

more convinced one must be that, COM
ing as it does now and withdrawing
him from the chief place in the ranks,
it is a particularly disastrous and heavy
blow to the Liberals. Naturally every

Can Talk with tho Monkeys.

a mysterious individual haunts Wood.
wards Gardens to whom is attributed
the gift of conycrsing with monkeys in
their own language. He is n little old
man who has seen about three score
years and ten, but rs he is always alone
and speaks to no one very little is known
about him. For nearly year past the
old gentleman has daily visited that for
mer popular resort, deposits the entrance
fee, and, us quickly as his feeble strength
will allow, and with eagerness depicted
on his scanned and weather. beaten
countenance, proceeds at once to the
monkey cage.
The monkeys recognize him aud set
up chattering aud bowling that would
CRATE on sensitive persons nerves, but
the old man does not mind it y bit. He
enjoys it, ano beams on the quedrumana
that make every effort to reach him
through the iron bars, with an express
sion that would lead one to think that
his soul was wrapped up in them.
Finally the noise subsidies and the old
man gazes into dozen comical expec-
tant faces pressed against the bars, with
twen.y-four pairs of bright eyes looking
at him, and utters few gutteral sounds
that astonish and please the MONKEYS.
He perfectly initiates the sounds of most
of them, and all arrange themselves in
semicircle aud with great seriousness
listen to all he has to say. Sometimes
his tone is serious, when all the monkeys
put on very abject expression and look
as sorrowful as n monkey can. Then
again, when the tones are different, the
monkeys will dance about with every evil
dcnce OF delight, and all begin to jab-
Der at once, until the old man points his
finger at one of the largest. All remain
silent while he seemingly CARRIES on a
conversation with one of the oldest ones,
initiating all the grimaces and actions of
a monkey US we'll rs any human being
could.
Sometimes the conversation lasts an
hour or more, when the little man bids
his friends adieu until the morrow.
1t is SAID by some that the little man
was once sea Captain, whose crew were
murdered by the natives on the coast Of
Brazil, and he made his escape to the
forests of the interior with no com
panioas but the monkeys for many
months, and subsistcd entirely on the
wild fruits and other food berries that
he could gather. It's supposed that he
obtained some knowledge of their
method of communication during the
months of his enforced residence in tho
wilderness that enables him to engage
the attention of the monkeys at Wood
wards Gardens.
When accosted the old man will not
reply, and his mysterious behavior is a
source of much comment. sen Francisco
Examiner.

photograpIling the Deal.

1t appears that somewhat morbid
custom exists among the Viennese of
having the dead bodies of children and
other persons dear to them photo
graphed, and for this purpose the corpse
used to be taken to the photographer S
studio.
The attention of the sanitary authors
ties having been drawn to the danger of
dissemination of infectious disease by
this practice, a decree has been issued
by the Austrian Minister of the Interior
absolutely forbidding the photograph
ing of corpses in studios open to the
public, and the photographing of bodies
of persons who have died of any infecti-
Gus disease by professional photograph
ers, even in private houses. Exception
is made OF cases in which such photo
graphs may be required for police or
medico-legal purposes.
In the case of persons who have died
of nopJinfectious disease, the corpses
may be photographed at the private resi-
dence OF the deceased, subject to the ap-
prevail and on To responsibility of the
medical official whose duty it is to
verify deaths.-British Medical Journal.

Curious pecp.sea Products.

Fishes have been found, it it said,
three miles below the sureac, of the
ocean, and when speciality has been
made OF deep-sea sonndings, as in the
voyage of II. NJ. s. Challenger and
others, the very greatest ocean depths
have been found to be very populous.
Plants, on tie contrary, do not live in
the very deepest waters, and it it sup
posed, therefore, that the deep-sea ami
mails either p-ey upon each other or get
their food from dead organisms and
plants which sink to the bottom. The
phosphorescent fishes, those which light
up the waves about them so brilliantly,
are found rs far rs q mile below the sur
face. The most of the fishes found in
what are called the "abyssal zones" have
only rudimentary eyes. Some have only
long feelers, but these enable them to
grope their way about at the bottom of
the sea. On the other hand, there are
several "abyssal" species of fishes which
have eyes SO large that they are wholly
out of proportion to the rest of their
bodies. These are supposed to follow
their pAosphorescent brethren, which act

which have been brought to the surface
by dcep-sea dredgers, are SO bright that

though the night be one of "Egyptian
darkness" The reason that fishes and
mollusks living even three miles under
water are able to bear the pressure of the
waves above them, which is one ton to
the square inch at the depth of only one
mile, is because they have exceedingly
loose tissues, which allow the water to
iiow through every intcrstice like it
would through the pores OF sponge,
thus equalizing the weight. Indeed, it
IS asserted, the main cause of their dying
