TEE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ent Lynn, of the penitentiary, has at
present under his jurisdiction, 1866
State convicts, the largest number that
ever were imprisoned there at one time.
While they are not all confined in the
penitentiary itself, Mr.. Lynn has there
about as many as he can accom-
modate. All convicts who were not
vaccinated during the last year or
two have been inocculated recently.
About fifty of them were yesterday laid
up with sore arms. At present there
are 50 convicts at the penitentiary farm,
but as soon ss spring opens that number
will be largely increased.

The white article is used for communi-

mourning correspondence, violet for
expressions of sympathy, chocolate for
invitations to dinner, red for business

gagged lovers, green for lovers not vet
affianced, and brown for refusals of

Blue symbolizes constancy, yellow

reproaches.
School girls seal their letters with
pink wax, and intimate friends use

the reign of King Louis XIII. of France
that it became the fashion among the
higher classes of Europe.
The Oldest known recipe for making
sealing wax was published in Augsf url

same ingredients as those now EN-

and asked for harmless beverage.

the evening they light their camp fires
and cook over the Goals, and then dance

They travel about in small tribes as
the Indians used to do, but they have a
queen instead or chief, whom they
love and obey as the mother of the
tribe. They dress i'll bright, rich colors
and are fine riders.
Not long ago heard a dear grand
father telling some little folks of his
visit to gypsy camp when he was
little boy, and of queer lunch he ate
with them. 1t was in July, when
the elder bushes were in bloom, with
their broad, snowy blossoms.
One of the gypsy mothers went round
the bush with dish of thin batter,
and bending down the branches dipped
the beautiful flowers in it, while
another woman came after her with a
pan of hot grease and held the flowe,

VIEWS OF MARRIAGE.
rt Consummates Life-NO Single Life IL
tho Parfacf One

10 Consummates Life-No Single Life IL
the Perfect One.
We hear young men say, Il am too
poor to get married, " and girls, 1.-THE
man marry must be rich. These re-
marks appear harmless, and they may
have a certain business shrewdness be-
hind them. Still the larger truth is that
the speakers most often do not take an
honest view of marriage, no matter how
honorable may be their purposes. Money
cannot insure happiness, and long ex.
perimenting in the countries Of Europe
has shown that mating for wealth is the
sure road to lax and immoral domes-
tic economy. 1t would seem that the
sensible view to take of marriage is
that it consummates life for the poor
and the rich, the vulgar and the refined;
that no single life is the perfect life.
The future of mankind depends almost
wholly upon happy marriages and
healthy offspring. And this suggests
that there should be no marrying of I'M
sound people. Greater selfishness cannot
be imagined than that which brings
children into the world doomed to life
of immitigable misery, the hereditament
of those who bear their parents burden
of disease. Shall we say that questions
arise in this connection too delicate for
discussion with young persons? Is it
better to leave the discussion to be
raised after it is too late?
The sensible view of marriage is the
view that comprehends every conse-
quence To the young people looking
forward to a long and happy wed ed
life it is of vital Importance that no e
ment of the subject shall be a myst ry;
that nothing connected with the ma RI
monial venture shall be left to the AZ
ard of chance Parents must unders nd
that their children are to be par IS;
that there is no escape from the RESPONSE
bility, and that education is incomplete
and training inadequate which does not
qualify for paternity and ~ternity.
The young man and the youns woman
who are fitted for marriage are fitted
for all that a healthy, courageous and
happy life demands or imposes. -Chau-

THE OGDEN CONVENTION.

There has never been q convention
held in Utah at which Utah county
has been so honored as on yesterday;
in feet Utah county got all her delega-
ton asked for, first A. o. Smoot
for temporary president and Mrs.
Electa Bullock first president and
Mrs. Jakeman assistant secretary of
the permanent organization.
Perhaps the most amusing incident
of the convention was.when Beaver the
first on the list, was called by the secre-
tary to make its nomination for candi-
dates for governor, 1T transferred its right
TO Salt Lake county, and called upon
Judge O. w. Powers to make its nom
mating speech. The judge was presi-
dent of the convention, and in re-
spouse to the call turned in his usual
confident manner to the FIRST vice-pres-
ldent to occupy the chair whilst he
made the speech, but on turning to
her he seemed hitherto to have for
gotten that lady was occupying that
position, and the iutrepidity Of the
fearless TGscaroTa chief became lost
sight of and swallowed up in the gal
lantry of the gentlemen, and for once
the ex-Grand Sachem, blushing like a
schoolboy, falteringly, asked Mrs. Bull
lock TO occupy the chair. She how
ever was equal to the emergency, and
with gracious, queenly dignity accepted
the unexpected, embarrassing situa-
tion, and honored Provo, and the
women of Utah by at once assuming
the role of president in manner
which caused every one present to feel
that she was master? (mistress?) of the
situation, and after the judge had, in
schoolboy fashion, addressed the chair,
he recovered from his embarrassment.
and nominated John T. Game for
governor in his usual ringing style.
The delegation from Utah county
are deserving of unstinted praise for
their uDbroken unity on every vote in
which this county was interested and
succeeded in getting two nominations
from Provo which are ticket strengthen

and the south at last is rretty fairly
