The Passing Of Mormonism.

E shop D. S. Tuttle of the Episcopal
church in Montana and Utah, for nine
teen years before 1880, and who is now
in this city, says that Mormonism is
decaying even more rapidly than it APP
pears to be He dates the beginning of
the end from the day that the railroad
was built through to Salt Lake City.
That was in 1862. 1t was then that the
Mormons abandoned their offensive war
fare against the GENTLE and took on
defensive attitude. That position it has
maintained ever since
"Thereare veryfew. cases of polygamous
marriages at this time,no said DR.. futile
to the reporter. All relations of that
sort maintained in Salt Lake City are at
least hidden, covered up and kept out
of sight of the government. The Gentiles
are insauthrioty in. the cities of the State
Salt Lake City and Ogden. The public
schools are in excellent condition all
over the State, and in my opinion Nor
monism is taking its place among the
wonders of the world, the ancient won
ders. Yes, Momonism is decaying I
think, and though 1T has considerable
force still it seems to me that it is
doomed For years and years the Profess
tant churches have worked with the
young, the young have become the
strength of the community, and the
politics of the Mormon localities has
become divided into the church and anti
church parties, with he victory on the
side of the right. "-Des Moines State

coNFUclUs, THE SAGE OF CHINA,
DR.. Blanchard's Second Lecture on the
Religions of the World.

Rev. DR.. Blanchard lectured last eve
ming in the vestry Of Congress square
church on Confucius, the Sage of China.
He began by saying that when Confucius
had finished his revision of the Sacred
Books of China-The Five Books of the
Kings-he placed his work upon the
altar and then, surrounded by his dis
ciples, kneeled down and gave thanks to
heaven that he had been permitted to
finish his task. We are to regard Con-
fucius as the great sage, using books
written by others, the prophet Of common
sense, the preacher of the kingdom of
God on earth. DR.. Blanchard then gave
an outline of Confucius's life and showed
that China's condition today is large Iy
the result of his teaching. There are
two other religions in China besides Con-
fucianism or the state religion, viz:
Taoism and Buddhism. But these exist
in degraded form. Confucius found d
state religion in existence Before
Athens or Rome had begun to be; before
Solomon reigned at Jeruaslem, China
had a developed civilization-am en-
peror, feudal lords, cosmology, history,
ritual, music. 1t was Confucius' S. task
to make the precepts of the Books the
Kings operative among his countrymen.
His great services were, first, to lead
men from useless speculation con-
corning an inscrutable God to the doing
of present duty. He believed that he
had divine mission, but h felt that
this was to make men do right rather
than know much about God or another
life.
1o 10,
of this life. Brahmanism had made
men dwell too much on the eternal and
the future Buddhism had looked on
this world with aversion. Confucius
made men feel that this might be a
beautiful world and might be enjoyed.
Thirdly, he taught men that the king
dom OF God was among men and not
among angels. He found religion
sacrificing to heaven and to ancestors.
He made it turn to living men that they
might be good husbands, brothers, sub
jects, friends. He gave golden rule,
Whatsoever ye would not that men
should do to you, do We not to them"
But why is China not kingdom of
God today? First, because Confucius
tried to depend upon morality to the too
great disregard of fought sof God;
secondly, because he made men observe
law instead of Glove; thereby, because he
did not elevate woman; r,fourthly, because
he made men too contemplating of them
selves instead of loving all.
DR.. Blanchard in conclusion, dwelt on
the "Chinese Question" referred to re-
cent conversation" with Hon. SIG. Hill
born, member of Congress from California
and his classmate at Tufts college in the
class of 1859, and euloglzed the great
legacy of Confucius bequeathed to
Europe and America, the teaching that
the kingdom of heaven islto be realized
by the state.

THE BIG HORSE SALE.
Storm Necessitates an Adjournment to
Friday, December Sth.


The big sale of valuable horses that
was arranged for at the Hart Farm in
Deering, under the auspices of the Bar
rett Brothers, j. E. Conant & Co.. of
Lowell, auctioneers, had to be adjourned
by reason of the furious autumnal
storm.
The attendance scarcely outnumbered
the horses for public sale. There were
present a number of gentlemen promi
nent in the horse breeding industry of
Maine, representing various sections of
the state, who had come to see this great
SALE Among them was Mr.. G. H. Mel
son of Waterville, Names fore
most horse breeder at the present time,
and the most successful in speed.
AS to the great Maine stallion Nelson,
2.09 who sustained an accident during
the latter part of the season, Mr.. Nelson
stated that he was all right, that the cut
foot had grown an inch and half and
would be in perfect form in good time.
As the hour approached for the sale
the storm seemed to increase. 1t blew
great guns and the rain fell in torrents.
A crew of men had all they could do to
keep the big three centre pole tent down.
The spectators took shelter in the spac-
ious stables or beside the fire in the har-
ness room.
Then there was a consultation. It was
quite impossible to attempt the sale in
such storm. An adjournment to Sat
urday would not do it was thought, on
account of Thanksgiving, such general
holiday, and there would be a,dearth of
time to fully circulate the postponement.
So Friday, December Sth, was the date
fixed upon, and Mr.. Conant, the eminent
horse auctioneer of Lowell, Mass, an
nounced the decision in his usual pleas
ant way.
Mr.. Conant was interrupted by some
one who might have been over-anxious
to take advantage of the situation, with
the query:
sBut this sale was advertised to take
place rain or shine"
Precisely said Mr.. Conant, ''but
nothing was said about furious storm.
You see in this wind and rain we cannot
even show horses to say nothing about
selling them.''
''But you might give them away" said
the persistent kicker.
"That's just what we expect to do"
responded the ready and reliable Conant,
'but we propose to select our day for
it,
And SO the great sale goes over. 1t
promises to be an event of Importance in
the breeding and selling of fine horses
in Maine. There are 81 individuals
enumerated in the catalogue and their
breeding warranted as stated, as we'll as
several others that were consigned after
the catalogue was in print, some go head
in all.
These horses represent in a near de-
gree about all the fashionable equine
blood Of the country, and it seemed to
be the common opinion among all inter-
ested that the breeders should have fair
chance with the weather lsince they had
to take SO many chances themselves.

Many Homeless Men.

There were thirteen dodgers at the
police station at ten o'clock last night
A few were tramps but the larger portion
were evidently honest men looking for
work. Some of these are all worn out
when they arrive at the station, so lame
they can hardly walk. A few days ago a
poor fellow came into the station at
O'Clock in the morning and asked for a
bed, He had walked all night to keep
warm and finally was forced to go to the
station. Monday night the applicants
were eleven. A large portion of these
men come from out of the state They
have been thrown out of work by the
hard times; and found themselves de-
pendent on the tender mercies of the
world.

Union Mutual Life Insurance Company

Union Mutual Life Insurance Company.
At meeting of tie directors of the
Union Mutual Life Insurance company
held yesterday afternoon, Hon. Henry G.
HuJchins of Boston, on account of long
continued ill health, resigned his position
as member of the board, and thereupon
a series of resolutions was adopted, COM
mending his devotion to the interests of
the company and expressing most
earnest wish for his restoration to heath.
Mr.. Hutchins was a director of the
company before it's removal to Portland,
and he made a point of attending it's
meetings; in fact, until prevented by ill
health, he was present at almost every
meeting of the board, and was very
active and interested in all measures for
the welfare of the company. The board
made unanimous choice of J. Frank
Lang to I'll the vacancy.
