THE ORGAN.
Its Peculiar Fitness For the Form of Com
 position Known as the Fuxue.

position Known as the Fuxue.
 The organ as it existed in Bach's day, and as in most essentials it exists now, is an instrument peculiarly suggestive in regard to the realization of the finest and most complete effects of harmony, of modulation and of that simultaneous progression of melodies in polyphonic combination which is most completely illustrated in the form of composition known as the fugue. It is so for two or three reasons. In the first place it is the only instrument in which the sounds are sustained with the same intensity for any required length of time after they are first emitted. However long a note is there till the moment the finger quits the key, quality which is invaluable when we are dealing with long suspen- sions and chains of sound. Secondly, the opportunity of playing the bass with the feet on the pedals, leaving the left hand free for the inner parts, puts within the grasp of single player full and ex- tended harmony and & freedom in manip- ulation such as no other instrument af- lords. Thirdly, and in the case especial ly of fugue compositions, the immense volume and power of the pedal notes i'm part grandeur to the entry of the bass part in the composition such as no other medium for producing music can give us. In the time of Bach this splendid source of musical effect was confined to the great organs of Germany.
 The English organs of the day had in general no pedal board, and it is prob ably owing to this fact more than to any thing else that Handel's published organ music is so light, and even ephemeral in style as compared with Bach's; that he treated the organ, as Spitta truly ob- serves, merely like larger and more powerful harpsichord. Without the aid of the pedal it would be rather difficult to do otherwise, and the English organ of the day was in every respect much lighter and thinner affair than the "huge house of the sounds" the thun- der of which was stored in the organ gallery of many Lutheran church.

A Substitute For Gold.

A French technical paper, The Jour nal de l'Horlogerie, declares that new amalgam has been discovered which is wonderful substitute for gold. It con- sists of 94 parts of copper to six parts of antimony. The copper is melted and the antimony is then added. Once the two metals are sufficiently fused together a little magnesium and carbonate of lime are added to increase the density of the material The product can be drawn, wrought and soldered just like gold, which it almost exactly resembles on be- ing polished Even when exposed to the action of ammoniacal salts of nitrous vapors it preserves it's color. The cost of making it is about shilling pound ayoirdupois.

To Walk Chalk.

To "walk chalk' is phrase borrowed from the times when royalty travelled on horseback or in carriages with consider. able retinue. Before arriving in a town herald or court officer would precede the cortege, select the best houses for the use of royalty and mark their doors with chalk. Immediately after this was done the residents in these houses were supposed instantly to vacate them; hence the pro- priety of the expression.

The oleomargarine factory of the Earl of Jersey, near London, turns out 5000 pounds of oleomargarine- every week. It was the London Saturday Review which once called oleomargarine ''that .Ameri can crime against humanity and the cow," but it would probably regard "Jersey" oleomargarine as the proper thing.

A Lost Wanderer.

A cold Christmas night in farm house. Father comes in from the barn,
 knocks the snow from his shoes and sits down by the fire. The mother sits at the stand knitting. She says to him, ''Do you remember it is the anniversary to- niaht?" The father is angered He neY-

this is being remembered by those who
knew him in the long ago
George NJ. Cannon is not making any
Roadway with his candidacy for the
lower house. His connection with the
territorial committee handicaps him,
and although he has declared to the
contrary, he is suspected of being in
cahoots with the Tribune on the quiet.
And the motto viii be, TPut none but
true men on guard" It is the inten-
ton. of the anti-Tribune men to
wreck that paper and it's supporters
politically if it destroys the party's
chances. There viii be no harmony
this fall in this connection.
Harry Cushing. of the Denver &
Rio Grande is a candidate for the
lower house.
Tom Ferguson, of Farmers ward, is
another candidate. He is the man who
carries around with him the ear which
was chewed by General G. P. Jackson.
This will initiate against him.
Bruce Johnson is a candidate also.
He represents the colored population.
They are patting Bruce on the Shout
der and telling him what a good man
he is now, but on the day of conven-
ton, after the results are announced,
the story will be told in different
meter While he is as deserving as
any other Republican mentioned, he
will not come within a mile of getting
there.
Now that the fight is being made on
the Tribune, up comes NJ. x. Parsons
with a desire for nomination. 1t does
appear as if all the old-time enemies of
that paper were going to line up and
give it a chance to bolt the ticket.

The Odd Fellows are particularly
busy, considering it is the season for
taking summer outings to the country
to escape the city's heat and recuperate
for fall and winters business. Ger
tainly in most of the lodges it is only
routine and is not reported in a news
paper, but it is important, neverthe-
less, to the fraternity and keeps the
lodges reporting good attendances and
has much bearing, not only on the
lodges themselves, but on society
everywhere.
o. general interest. the only lodge
which seems to be forging ahead at
present is the youngest, Mystic No. %.
which reported an addition week or
so ago of five members, and tonight
expects to initiate seven more. A great
many Odd Fellows will be out, as the
degree staff is a model one and it is a
pleasure to witness the ceremonies.
The other six lodges have consider
able work in sight, as soon as they can
again settle down to active business.

If the parents of Salt Lake City de-
sire to give their children a nice outing

the Odd Fellows will see to it that the
children have the jolliest kind of a
time, and the special committee on
amusements are making every prepar-
alton for the entertainment of their
juvenile guests. 1t will be with many,
a basket picnic day; so the fraternity

and proper parties will be on hand to
take care of you and see the young
sters are taken care of and, when
night comes, are sent home happy.
All the residents of the city know
what a fine beach there is at Garfield
and the pleasure there is to be had in
a dip in the briny at that place, and
while it costs no more to go with the
Odd Fellows than at any other time all
Will be we'll entertained, properly cared
for, and while enjoying nice day of
pleasure will a t the same time be doing
a share in building UP an institution
that will be a credit to the people of
the state of Utah-the Odd Fellows
Home.

one, and considerable time was de-
voted to sociability.
Zion lodge No. II met on Friday
evening with good attendance and a
good time was reported.
Owing to circumstances over which
Brother C. A. Locke had no control

Colorado the early part of next month
for the purpose of strengthening the

Political Notes.

Hon. Frank ]. Cannon was in the
city yesterday.
Nephi Times Rep): The day in
Utah has passed when the Tribune is
always right and the people and all
the rest of the newspapers are always
wrong. Rotten political bosses gen
orally die hard, but they die just the
same.
Nephi Times: All that this paper
demands now is a fair deal. The
Times is for clean campaign and a
fair field for everyone. But again, 'for
the last time the Times says enphat-
ically and unequivocally, it is bound
by no pledges or agreements with Col
onel Isaac Trumbo of Salt Lake City.
From Utah county comes the informa-
ton ton that the Republicans there are en-
deavoring to make a compromise on the
gubernatorial nomination. 1t appears
that neither Thomas or Crane have a
cinch on the party in that locality. al
though Trumbo seems TO be more than
holding his own. In other parts of the
territory. however, Crane, from all ac-
counts. has a walkover

Masonic.

The twenty-sixth triennial conclave
of the Knights Templar, which con-
venes in Boston on Aug. %, and the
Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine,
which convenes at Nantasket Beach
on Sept. 4, are the principal topics of
consideration in the Masonic order at
the present time. 1t was intended to
send large delegations from Utah to
both of these assemblages, but for
some reason a sufficiently large party
to take private car could not be got
together and the fraternity contented
themselves with sending one delegate
each. j. III. Woodman will represent
Utah Commandry No. in the K. T.
conclave and e. P. Newell will repre-
sent Ell Kalah Temple of the Mystic
Shrine at the Imperial Council. They
will leave on Wednesday next and will
join the Wyoming delegates, who are
quite numerous, and travel together to
Boston.
