In a recent sermon Bishop Potter de-
clared beauty IN women TO be a cause OF
sin. This classification of woman ;
beauty leads TO reflection of the relis-
ious teaching that an almighty power
made man and woman. Adam and Eve
are popularity supposed to have been the
most perfect specimens Of the human
creation. beautiful beyond comparison.
If the bishops theory Is correct, beauty
must have been original sin. but IS
Adam and Eve did not bestow ia on
themselves, the bishops argument leads
on TO conclusions that II would offend
Christians to affirm.

Heroes of the Nations.

Speaking of the history, it is matter
not to be passed over without some
bordering, that in history, we have the
foundation for all we have. That is,
that in the history of any generation,
studied closely enough and looked into
deeply, the civic, the life and romance
of the whole world. To study deeply
the divine ordering of events as
Carlyle has done in his French
Revolution, should be our true
purpose. Is not history, then, a great
training to any man, as citizen, ruler
or an ecclesiastic or student? For the
greatest testimony that there is a God is
it not the history of this self-same world?
Mark as the history turns page after page
before you, the sowing; mark with
equal insight, with that unmistakable
finale of each period in an epoch or
life, the reaping. All history is lesson
of justice and retribution; justice and
retribution, the true dispensations of a
Divinity. That is history's lesson on
morals. That also is law, if law is
meant to subserve history: a romance,
not of human erring hand, but of the
all-judging Masterhand; not from the
pen of a gliding authors fingers, but the
romance Of life, a living breathing ex-
istence, where death is more than pen
and ink; where love is more than poets
dreams: and wrong and injustice more
than mere inventions whose harrow can
be drowned in sleep or buried with
dinner.
There are lessons, then, to be learned
from history. Who has not felt the
benefcient influence of the story of
noble mans life? Is there anything
that so quickly stirs aspiration from
dormancy or makes us enIulous of bet
ter men?
In the life of Philip Sidney, II. R.
Fax Bourne has told the story in a
happy vein. And a happy vein only
would suit the memories of that virtu-
Gus and valorous man, whom even the
dullest school boys remember, when
with his last breath he put away the
water he craved, and handed it to a
parched dying foot-soldier with a voice
that still softly rings "Thy necessity Is
yet greater than mine"
The volume is very handsome one.

Recent publications show that on last
Saturday there was more money in the
associated banks Of New York than ever
before in the history of the country.
This money does not represent the
'hoarded wealth but the deposits Of
the business men of the country who
utilize the banks of New York as Gus

certainly unmistakable evidence that
money IN actual circulation Is much
more abundant than it was few
months ago. Evidences of the return Of

John Peter, the saint, is still on it, and
as unrelenting in his warfare upon every
thing that fails to bow the knee to his lido
syncrankism as ever. Taking advantage
of the presence in Topeka Of two or three
state assemblages he announced public
address for Wednesday night and had a
fair sized audience to harangue, and his
effort was a trife facetiouS as well as
sarcastic. He said that in Pennsylvania
last year the keynote was Gin, gin, gin,
gin, Tom goes out and Jack goes in. But
in '92 the keynote will be Tin, TIN, tin,
tin, Ben goes out and Jim goes in" He
said that the only essential difference be-
tween the two old parties and the Peo-
pies party is the sub-treasury scheme
and that was enough to kill any party.
There is but one st. John; all others are
mere imitatorS.

Hill has spoken. He pronounces en-
phahcally against free coinage and for a
tariff for revenue only. In a word. he
echoes Cleveland's declarations on those

president. Until Cleveland speaks again

With the whole state machinery given

News from Many Utah
Properties.

Business in Salt Lake has not improved
during the week just closed, and may justly
be considered as only fair. Reports re-
ceived from New York are very encourag-
ing, and the south is reported as dull.
Reports from other eastern cities are as
follows: At Boston the dry goods iobbing
trade is quite good, the demand for wool
steady with sales of 3, 427, 200 pounds and
more orders for wooden goods, the cotton
mills well employed, while the boot and
shoe factories are quite busy. At Hartford,
larger sales Of wool and fair trade in dry
goods are reported, with hardware quiet,
but groceries quite active At Philadel-
phia more orders are seen for manufactured
iron and increased business in dry goods,
especially in staples, dress goods being sold
far in advance, while wool is quiet
with a fair volume OF sales. The
cigar manufacturers are busy, and
trade in groceries and chemicals un-
changed. At Cincinnati tobacco is active
al eOod prices, dry goods orders are brisk,
ard building prospects fattering. Cleve-
land reports improved trade with rolled
products in larger demand. Detroit re-
ports January trade fully up to last years.
AT Chicago sales OF merchandise show a
fair increase over last year, and collections
are satisfactory; receipts of flour, oats,
rye, barley, lard, and cheese show some in
crease, while wheat and corn have doubled
and receipts of dressed beef are four times
last years, but some decrease appears in
cured meats, hides, wool and cattle. Open
weather retards collections at Milwaukee,
but trade is ia If. AT St. Louis business is
not quite as strong, distribution being
checked in the cotton region. At Kansas
City, Denver and Omaha trade is fair with
good prospects; at st. Paul the spring job
bling trade opens well, and at Minneapolis
largely exceeds that OF last year. at New
Orleans business is somewhat dull, cotton
being lower with heavy receipts, but sugar
firm and rice in fair demand. AT Savannah
business is better and money easier
