WHAT [ SAW OUT WEST.
BY DAVID HILL.

The next morning l started for the
Tabernacle and gained admittance to
the grounds through one of the prin-
cipal gates on the north west side Of
the building. The grounds are artisti-
cany arranged, supporting gravel
walks, fountains, flower beds green
grass plots closely cut and divided
into squares, angles and different de-
signs, while around and throughout
the whole the walks were intersected
with beautiful trees of symmetrical
shape and the leaves upon which were
as green as the leaves upon our trees
in June. South west of the Tabernacle
in one corner of the ground, half
well kept shrubbery, stood the chapel;
and over toward the east, enclosed by
a separate fence inside of which the
flowers and trees were lacking, was
the magnificent Temple with it's many
lofty towers pointing heavenward. 1t
took forty years to erect that noble
structure, and not until April 1898 did
the contamination dedication take
place. The building is constructed
principally out of white granite quar-
ried near the city, and is 1856 feet long
by 80 feet in width. At the base the
foundation is nearly 10 feet thick; but
from story to story the walls draw in
until, at the square, 100 feet from the
ground, the thickness of the wall is
only feet. copy the following taken
from a card that was handed me at
the door
ssIts architecture is symbolic
throughout and consequently unique.
Three towers adorn each end, the
center ones bein-y highest and the
eastern three higher than the western
The east center one is 22O feet high,
surmounted by the angelic figure Of
Moronis, Is feet in hight, made of
hammered copper, gilded. The figure
is a majestic one. He is represented
as in the act of delivering his trumpet
message of warning, yetof tsGlad It'd
ings'' to all the nations of the earth.

FARM LIFE IN ARKANSAS.

About the 1st of Sept. the cotton har-
vest of the South begins. Every man,
woman and child, four yearsaol and
upward, picks cotton. Each picker
is expected to furnish his own sack.
A good "pick sack' is made Of heavy
drilling Or light duck and will hold
six Or eight bushels by measure. 1t
has strap to 60 over the shoulder
and one around the waist to hold it in
place. Each picker expects to be
furnished a large basket to empty his
sack into TO be Weighed. Ittakes a
common picker all day to pick 100
lbs. The price for picking ranges
from 40 to rs cents per 100 pounds,
aud unless there is contractto board,
the picker has to board himself. The
cotton grows in "bolls", the size
size and about the shape of a small
hens egg. AS they get ripe the shell
bursts open, in from three to five
pieces and the cotton loosens and
hangs out of the boil, and the cotton
for each piece of the boil as it opens
picking is to get hold of the whole of
each lock with one motion of the
hand, and to be able to pick with both
hands. When the cotton is picked, it
is put in pen, built usually of rails,
one length of rail square each way
and a rail floor. 1t requires about L.
500 lbs. as it is picked to make bale.
Seed cotton is 3 seed by weight, so
1900 lbs. as picked and taken to the
gin makes 500 lbs. of lint or ginned
cotton and 80 bushels of seed. The
gin separates the cotton fiber from
the seed and then bales it. The bales
are as large as two, 200 Id bales of hay.
A coarse, heavy cloth made of jute
and called bagging is put around the
bale. The hoop iron with which they
are bound is called ties. The toll for
ginning is one fourteenth part of the
cotton as it is taken to the gin. The
most of the ginning is done by steam
power. You can drive up to the gin
machine for separating seed and very
soon after your load is off you can
have your cotton seed and can take
your bale home or to the market. For
two years cotton has averaged 615 cts.
per pound in the bale, giving very
small returns for the work required to
raise it, On the uplands from two to
four acres are required to raise bail;
in the bottoms, IL to 8. An extra
good crop will make a bale per acre.
Cotton is almost the only thing that
the merchants willlpay cash for. All
other farm produce is trade here.
Butter, eggs, chickens, etc., you can
swap for goods at the stores some
times, and sometimes not. A mer-
chant here is is like what the Indian
said of the white man, "mighty un-
certain 5C
If you take bale of cotton you can
get some price for it. If you take a
bushel of potatoes, perhaps you can
sell them, perhaps not. Thus there is
a kind of cotton slavery here that
does not reach all over the state.

none of the graves situated in close
proximity to his did the slabs stand
at the head; they rested upon the
the graves lengthwise with the in
scriptions written on top. Outside
from the fence around Brigham
| Young's grave, and around the whole
plot, which was without flowers, but
was kept green and divided. with
gravel walks, was thick stone wall,
upon the top of which was another
picket fence similar in construction
but heavier than the first. Beside this
wall at intervals was Lombard poplar
and cotton wood trees, still green in
their foliage, and which gave the place
pretty appearance. The gate-to the
plot, which was less than a quarter of
locked with heavy paddock. Nothing
daunted, however, I managed to
climb up over those tall pickets and
vaulted in we'll knowing that at any
moment [ was liable to be ordered
out. I wanted to pick up a stray leaf
that had fallen upon Brigham's grave,
and I did it; but I concluded to
leave the body behind. To the north
of the Presidents grave, and close
beside it outside of the fence, was the
grave of Lucy d. Young, marked by
single board resting along the top,
with name theron. Beside this was
the grave of A. A. Young marked,
ditto; next Susan S. Young, ditto;
then the grave of Marie Annibal
Young. This was marked with a
marble slab, as was also the grave of
Eliza r. Smith. Near these graves was
another, the slab of which contained
the following: SIN memory of Mary
V. Young, wife of President Brigham
Young, daughter of John and Lucy
Van Colt, born Feb. 3D., 1874, died
Jan. 5th., 1885," AS this grave and that
of Eliza's were kept in the best con-
dition, with pots of fresh flowers rest
ing upon the slabs, I was led to believe
that they must have been Brigham's
favorite wives. Possibly, however, the
graves we're daily decorated by some
of the children of these women. Only
one other grave was in the plot and
that was marked "Mother." Noticing
at this point that I was attracting
some attention from the people in the
adjacent houses by my presence
in the Enclosure I concluded it was
time to make myself scarce; and as [
had accomplished my object ac-
cordingly did SO without meeting with
any accident. 80 s'4eF9+ 20 ''11'i,+4- Pc

WASHINGTON LETTER.
is scIAL oORRBsPoN DENcE OF THE MONITOR
Washington, dag. -, 1894.

SCIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR
Washington, dug. -, 1894.
Mr.. G. III. Taylor, the [colored citi-
zen of Kansas, who was by Mr.. Cleve-
land made recorder of deeds for the
District of Columbia, after the senate
had refused to confirm his nomina-
ton to a diplomatic position, is in
bad odor with the civil service COM
mission because of his having violated
the law in soliciting and receiving
money for political purposes from en-
ployes of the government. The COM
bined cheek and egotism of this fel :
low Taylor may be judged from the
following explanation given by him:
"Mr. Cleveland no doubt thinks there
are plenty of white democratic poll
ticians out of Office to take care of
the politics of the party, without the
office holders taking hand, but with
the negroes it is altogether different.
There are so few men amOng them
possessed of sufficient ability to lead
that if all the recognized leaders are
put into Office and are told to shut up
and keep out of politics, there would
be absolutely no one left to direct af-
fairs among the colored democrats.
1t is necessary that the men who have
the ability should continue in politics"
Perpaps a court sentence would re-
duce the size of Taylor's head.
Speaker Crisp hasn't always been a
cuckoo, but there is no discount on
his cuckooism at this time. He even
carried it to the extent of making
ruling that literally taken would mean
that any member of the House would
be out of order the moment he utter
ed criticism of a member of the cab
met. This ruling was made when
Representative Boutelle of Maine was
making few remarks concerning the
cowardly smothering in the House
Foreign committee of his resolution
for the recognition of Hawaii, and the
sneaking manner in which the admin
istration went about announcing it's
formal recognition of the new repub-
lie, after it had been unnecessarily
delayed for several weeks.
Secretary Carlisle has issued an or
der that will certainlymake trouble for
him if it be strictly enforced 1t pro-
hibits the giving out of any informa-
tion concerning matters pending be-
fore congress without the express
permission of the Secretary or one Of
the assistant secretaries of the treas
urys and the prohibition extends to |
everybody including members sof |
congress and other government Off
ficials. To no other department is it
necessary to go so often for informa-
ton, and the first time some congress
man of prominence stops atthe treas
ury in hurry to get some informa-
ton and runs up against that order
Secretary Carlisle may expect storm
in his immediate vicinity.
