that tn y might meet with this
bitter disappointment. II was ad-
mitted that it was a hard pull to
raise money enough to finish the
Temple, but Joseph F. said that
the poor man who willingly gave a
cent, rsgrsttlng that he c,uld Iot
give thousand times more, will have
a greater reward than he who gave
his thousands with grudging
heart. This looks as though grass
is getting pretty short IN the rItn-
ing house. That dismal view of
things ia strengthened by the
whoop.up which A. A Cannon
gave the Saints ON tishs paying,
declaring that any one who dis
obsys this law Injuries no one else
as much as himself.
Apostle Lyman told the Saints
why there would be no unusual
manifestations at the dsdica tion ot
the Temple, and it was simply be-
cause they wssa pack OF unworthy
sinners. There wasn't much gall
in that, was thsre? Had he said

THE EVOLUTION OF MINES.
Denver Ores aud Metals.
Two thousand years ago the
mines at LAurim. Greece, were
worked tor silver, and judging
from the richness OF the old alag
found in the sea, which has been
worked .ovsr, and millions OF dol
lars in silver extracted, the ors was
quite rich in this metal. To-day
those same mines are being worked
again, but the product Is pripoi-
pslly sine. Some Of the old opss-
lag. OF the mines arc on ths Asa

THE UTAH SAINTS.

Clipped from Salt Lake City paper and
sent 10 THE ADVOCATE by Ars. John
Dsnshso.
The Saints have just closed the
ssmi-annual conference for this
state. That the interest was great
is shown by the large attendance,
while tho sermons plainly disclosed
the fact that the church fences
are not in an entirely satisfactory
condition, and that they fail to
meet the Missouri standard. which
is horss-high, hog-tight aud bull
strong. A whole lot OF fault was
found With the conduct of the
S.i=.s generally, sHd hedging on
promi,es mads by the leaders in
former days was very conspicuous.
Bishep Preston chidsd the holy
priesthood for its negligence in the
discharge Of its duties, and declared
that many Of the Saints are break
ing the holy covenants entered
into with God. Joseph L. Taylor
dsplored the fact that many of the
younger members OF tho church
are .trsying away from the true
faith, and that the teachers are not
40 zsalsus at home as abroad. He
rsmind bishops Of their duties to
relieve such lazy workmen in the
Lords vineyard. After those two
luEubrious addresses, the choir
very properly sung the anthem,
"Lstths Mountains Shout for JOY"
But one of the most significant
utterancss was square bsckdown
on the promise made for 80 many
years, that on the completion of
this Temple the Lord would come
to earth again and reign in person
rhs promise was n ade many years

Now Joseph +. Smith knockr thu

OUR FROZEN ANCESTORS.
Primeval Man May Yet BE Discovered
CONCEALED In a Glacier.


"Was the primeval man arboreal,
and did he live upon fruit?' 1t has
been suggested that he was driven
from these mild ways by the cold OF
that unpleasant time when glaciers
covered the earth, answers the Gentle,
mans Magazine. The trees died and
the fruits perished, and the ancestor,
climbing down, began with rats and
mice, and finished with cannibalism,
to avoid perishing likewise. Also, he
invented fire. Also, the cold made
him use language. But this is
rather an unsubstantial speculation
since Prof, Prestwitch, for in
stance, believes that there were men
before the glaciers. At any rate, he
tells us that at Sevenoaks, in the very
old pre-glacial plateau drift" above
the downs, he has found instruments
of flint.
1t is not impossible that those beetle.
browed persons, the poleolithic men,
the remote men who Clipped out
weapons of unpublished stone and knew
the uses of neither cattle, clay nor
corn, were less human looking than
their skeletons would lead us to fancy.
There is hint in one rude scratch ing
on bone that they were thickly hairy.
There is a remote chance yet-at least
it is pleasant fancy to entertain-that
we with our own eyes may yet see this
hairy ancestor of ours in the flesh.
Every one has heard of the entire mann
moth, skin and flesh complete, frozen
up inside of Siberian river and endur-
ing to our days. The flesh was so fresh
that the dogs fell upon it and ate it
without i'll results.
Now, these pre-glacial men of Prof.
Prestwitch must have been contempo-
raries with those mammoths and they
may have vertured, too, since they
hunted the mammoth, into high lati-
tudes The discovery of a refrigerated
ancestor is by no means impossible.
1t is necessary for anyone who has
read 1.-THE Frozen Pirate to curb his
imagina tion here In all humanity we
must hope the ancestors, when thawed,
will be dead.
Fancy the shock of Rip Van Wrinkle
intensified by ten thousand genera
tions. If he is dead he must, of course,
be promptly stuffed by all the best tax
idermists in council, and placed in a
commanding position in the museum
in Cromwell road, relic and true por-
trait combined.

IN A DOLDRUM.
A Ship Held for Four Months in a Dead
Sea Calm.

A Ship Held for Four Months in Dead
Sea Calm.
Held for nearly four months in an
equatorial doldrum or dead sea calm
until her provisions were exhausted
and her crew on the verge of starva-
ton was the terrible experience of the
American ship Edward O'Brien, which
had long ago been given up for lost.
The ship is owned partly in this city,
says the Philadelphia Record, and the
news of her safety has just reached the
owners.
The ship left Victoria, B. c., early
in December last for London with a
large cargo of wheat, and nothing was
heard CT her until June 22, when she
was sighted by the steamer Galileo in
latitude 46.31, longitude 25.16, flying
signals telling that she was short of
food. She was supplied by the steam
er, and Capt Whitton brought to New
York news of the safety to the under
writers, who were demanding heavy
premiums for reinsuring the vessel and
cargo.
1t was learned that the ship had
made fine run down the Pacific coast
and around the Horn, but when near
the equator she had been caught in
one of the dreaded calms that prevail
in that latitude. For three months
she remained within distance of half
mile from where she struck the
calm, and during that time there was
not enough wind to fill even the light
est of her sails. Finally small cur
rent, probably made bya storm many
miles away, appeared and served to
send her slowly out of the locality,
which threatened at one time to be-
come place of death for all on board.
On this current the ship drifted for al
most another month. Then welcome
wind carried her back into the paths
of navigation.
When the Calico was encountered
the water supply of the Edward
O'Brien was exhausted, food was al
most down to the last ration, and in a
few more hours the men on board
would have been beyond help. After
being supplied with food and water
the ship proceeded on her way to Lon
