Generosity to the Poor.

good story is told by the Arkansaw Traveller,
confirming the not uncommon belief that it is bet
ter to find work for people in need of assistance
than to give them money. The story is by Mis-
sourian, who said: 'Some time ago powerful
poor family came to our town. There was a
widow and three daughters. two of them about
grown. They took up their quarters in an old.
deserted house. and 1t wasn't long until we heard
that they hadn't anything to eat Well, lot of
us went out to the old house, and. sure enough,
there they were, mighty nigh starved to death.
Right there, sir, we raised SO and told the widow
we'd see that she didn't go hungry. The grateful
woman gave the money to her daughter and said:
Lou, you and the children run right away down
town and get something with this money Well,
off the girls put, and we waited to enjoy the
pleasure of seeing them satisfy their hunger.
They came back after awhile. and what do you
reckon they had bought?' Il have idea"
well, sir. they bought four finger rings and a
quart of molasses-" 1.-The miserable fools. The
poor mother must have been indignant "You
bet she was" land what did she say?' why.
she said: Lou, I'd like to know what in common
sense made you get so many of these here blamed
mOlasses?''

Crows VS.. BandicOOt Rat.

saw, early one morning, says a writer
about India. very curious contest between
a number of crows and bandicOOt rat.
The rat had obviously been out all night,
and was making his way home along
shallow open drain. when the crows caught
sight of him. He was sorry specimen of
his kind; NANCY and decrepit. so the crows
''went tor him." A bandicoOts teeth are
long and sharp. and the birds were not in
clined to come to close quarters in the open;
they formed up in single file on either edge
of the drain, and escorted the now hurrying
rat till he reached his hole. Then they be-
gan operations; the instant the bandicoOt's
head disappeared they fell upon him peIl.
NELL, and drove their iron bills into every
tender spot they could reach, while one of
the flock held on to his tail. seemingly bent
on dragging the owner out. Whether the
strain on his caudal appendage overcame
him. or whether prompted by motives of
vengeance. l cannot say. but after a few
seconds struggle. the bandicOot backed out
and snapped fiercely at his foes. who re-
treated step or two and waited. The
crow at his tail was the first to retire; and
giving it a defiant waggle, to make sure it
was free. the rat made another rush for his
burrow. The very moment his head was
out of sight, crow pOunced upon his tail
again, and the others resumed the attack,
drawing blood at every peck. l began to
understand the modus operandi. and grew
interested; the crows plan of action. in de.
tail. was to assault only when the rat could
not bite back; and the general idea to worry
him until he succumbed to exhaustion and
weakness. 1t took the birds just twelve
minutes to achieve victory; the bandicoot
grew weary and presently the crows con-
fined themselves to simply dragging him
out whenever he got half way into his hole.
AS soon as it appeared safe. they pounced
upon him en- masse. pecked out his eyes,
and literally stabbed him to death. Then,
in half the time it had taken to kill him,
they ate him and flew away happY.-The

nenth of Colonel Rarratt.

Many citizens of Ogden were panied to
hear of the death of Colonel Percival j.
Barratt at his home in this city early yes
terday morning after an illness of eight
weeks.
For the past three years Colonel Barratt
has been troubled with some unaccountaole
internal trouble, and although the best
medical advice obtaInable was consulted,
the doctors were unable to agree at any
time what the ailment truly was. His
wife has been MS constant attendant night
and day from tina time he was taken to his
bed eight weeks ago until his death.
He was born in Australia and was 90
wears of age He has resided in Ogden for
fifteen years, during which time he has
won the respect of all who knew him
Colonel Barratt was a great admirer Of
secret societies and was member in good
standing of the Knights Of Pythias, Masons,
Odd Fellows, Sons of St.George and several
other orders. At one time he was COM
mander Of a company of the Utah national
guards of this city. The only relatives in
this country left to mourn his loss is his
wife and daughter.
The funeral services will be held at the
family residence on Adams avenue to day
at o'clock under the auspices of the ODD
Fellows and knights of Pythias. The re-
mains will be inferred in Mountain View
cemetery.
The members of the bar issued the fol-
lowing request yesterday: All members

The RELIGION of Humanity.

But. on the other hand, though Augusta
Comte is to US one of the great teachers Of
mankind, having no indisputable authority
such as we shrink from giving to other
great teachers, he is no mere philosopher,
head of a school of science and intellec-
tual reformer. He is the founder of q re-
ligion-but there again not the inventor
of a religiou-much less the revealer
or prophet of a new religion. The re-
hgion of humanity is not new; it was not
discovery of Auguste Comte; he was not
the first even to introduce it to our age.
The religion of humanity is as old as hu-
manity; all other kinds of religions are
merely parts OF it, germs of II, strivelings
after 1t, forecasts and types of it. The re-
ligion of humanity began with civiliza-
ton and with human nature. 1t has been
q constant living fOrCe-disguised now as
the worship of nature, or of many gods,
now as the WORKSHOP of one God, or of the
Infinite and the Unknowable. 1t was always
and everywhere the living bond which
held together the family, which formed ma
| lions, and stirred men to ali that was good
and great We meet here to-day, not to
acknowledge our faith IN new religion;
we meet to submit our consciences
| to the oldest religion known to
this planet; to go back to human nature

religious faith of which the Judaisms,
| the Buddhisms, the RomanismS of east and
west are but late perVersions.
| OF this religion-the essential and print
tive bond Of human nature-Auguste Comte
Lever was and never professed TO be the
| inventor. But he professed to be-and he
waste use his own word, the ''institutor'
or founder. That is to say, he put on a
solid foundation, made Ineligible, plain,
coherent forms of belief and feeling which
for ages had been living and working in
deed, put were indistinctly seen, vague,
misunderstood, without any scientific
ground, perpetually covered by mass Of
accumulated and superincum bent debris.
Comte did not discover the religion OF love
aud of faith in human nature which was
there already. He did discover that it was the
real religion, and that il was ample in
itself without supernatural and Superior
restrial ideas about religion. And by his
wonderful sketch of sociology as a science
(ebaucne he loved to call it), Comte gave
this religion OF human nature basis Of de-
mOnstrative reality, and this closed the
long warfare between science and religion,
philosophy and devotion. This was not To
invent a new religion can hardly say
how much the idea of such a new tower OF
Babel disgusts me-but it was TO found the
old religion, which arrogance and vanity

so many dreams,-FTedeTicb Harrison.

kAYSYILLE CLICKS.
The Municipal Elechon-A Creamery-Mar-
rage Chimes.

rage tnlneB.
Since the municipal election on Monday
last political matters here have settled
back to their accustomed quietude, and
now we are anxiously awaiting the out
come of the Salt Lake election, and hoping
it will be as successful for the Democracy
as our own. The result OF our election has
demonstrated two important facts. First,
that Kaysville is safely Democratic, and
second, that her people will not sanction
any movement tending to re-establish the
old political feuds that have existed in this
territory in the past. The avalanche of
votes which completely showed under the
"Citzens' Popular ticket On Monday was
sufficient evidence that our citizens were
sincere in allying themselves with the ma
tlonal parties, and that they favor political
advancement
The persons elected on the Democratic
ticket are all men of honor and intelli-
gence; men who were chosen for their
business ability, and who have the inter-
ests of the community at heart. This be-
ing the case, we believe the first Demo
cratic administration will be such as will
reflect credit upon the city and the party
electng them.
TO ESTABLISH CREAMERY.
\. Mr. Davis representing the Davis g.
Rankin Manufacturing company, of Chi
cago, has been negotiating with parties
here for a week past with a view of
organizing company and establishing a
creamery and cheese factory in this local
! ity. The business mon aud stockmen held
meeting last Saturday and another on
| Wednesday at p. m, at which the FEAST
bility of the project was discussed. A
committee was appointed to solicit the CO.
operation of the farmers, if it should be
decided to proceed in the matter. The
building and the machinery necessary for
! the successful operation of the factory will
cost between $1,000 and $4,000.
MARRIAGE CHIMES.
There has been lull of business in mat
tiers of hymeneal nature in this vicinity
for several weeks past, but the spell was
broken this week by the ceremonies being
performed which united two happy couples
for life.
On Wednesday, Mr.. Richard Stevenson
and Miss Nettie Watt. both of Layton,
were married at Logan. They arrived
home yesterday, and last evening the
Second ward Westinghouse was the scene
of happy gathering in honor of the event
On Thursday evening Judge Phillips
oficiated in performing the ceremony
which made Mr.. William Wallace and Miss
Mary Ellison man and wife. We ioir
friends of both couples in extending hearty
congratulations.

question was, "Resolved, That protective
tariff is conducive to the wealth and pros

O. R. Miller, the principal promoter Of
the Boise-Butte railroad, has gone east in
the interest of that project. Mr.. Miller
has been untiring in his efforts to show
the feasibility and advantages of this
enterprise, and the people of Boise have
literally seconded his efforts. The
people of Butte should be equally
interested in the building of this road,
and the capitalists of both Montana
and Idaho ought to unlOosen their purse
strings and make it an assured fact Rocky

upon this subject the Clayton Messenger
saws: eft is our desire that thir road will
sood be commenced, and the people of Gus

it is an assured fact that no county
in Idaho, or perhaps in the
United States, needs railway shipping
facilities more than Custer county
When we axe into consideration the vast
number of mines that are idle to-day that
would be in operation If q railroad traver-
sed our county, is amazing. This il
one reason of the closing down
of our mines as soon as winter
comes We cannot get in supplies or
ship out ores and bullion. 1t is safe to say
that 200 mines now idle in this county
could be worked at a profit if we had

y turailst the merchant and the mechanic

and were as fine as any ever seen in Ogden.
The ladies did themselves proud in their
