Felter's Glorious Trip to Germany.

Once upon time a German Amer
lean named Felter was keeper of the
senate restaurant. During congress
sional vacation he concluded to visit
his relatives in Germany, and naturally
applied to Jim Christy, the deputy
sergeant-at-arms, for transportation
across the ocean. In due time the de-
sired passes were forthcoming, and
Felter pocleted them in high glee. A
few weeks later he packed his trunks
and started for Hoboken, where he en-
parked on board of one of the German
line steamers. Felter showed his pa
pers to the captain, and was at once
received with open arms. He was as
signed to the best stateroom on the
vessel, and his cabin was loaded with
flowers. He had the post of honor at
the table, and the finest casks in the
stewards larder were cracked for his
benefit.
In fact, he was treated as if he was
some great hero, or man of prominence,
instead of an ordinary restaurateur.
Of course, Felter could not understand,
but he took all that was offered, and
made the best of the situation. Finally
the destination of the vessel was
reached, and the passengers were
landed. Our friend from the senate res
taurant found q delegation of the prin
cipal citizens and municipal authorities
on hand to meet him. The mayor
seized him cordially by the hand and
insisted that Felter mast make his
home with him during his stay. His
establishment increased, but he &C
ceptcd all without asking questions,
but not without some trepidation. On

GERS searched in vain for the records OF
the marriages of those known to be liv-
ing in polygamy. am told by apostate
Mormons that the reason was that in
marrying each person was given Bib
'lical name, such as Jonah and Rebccca,
for instance, and that these only were
written in the church book
So, II the book were produced in
court it would not prove that John
Smith was Jonah, or that Sally Jones
was Rebecca, or that she was the
seventh wife of Jonah, which she IN
reality was. John Smith may be liv-
ing in a seven-compartment house,
but it is difficult, almost impos-
siblc, to get evidence that he is living
IN polygamous state, yet it is known
to be the case as well as common re-
port and circumstantial evidence can
prove anything.
Put these women on the witness
stand, and each of them will swear,
with her hand upon the Bible, that
she is not married to the accused, John
Smith. j have heard such testimony in
court, and, in one instance, when a
polygamous wife was asked who was
the father of the baby she then held in
her lap, she unblushingly replied: II
don't know"
There have been very few convic-
tions for polygamy under the Ed
munds act of 1889, and comparatively
few have been DISTINGUISHED. They
still hold the balance of political
power.
Mormon apostates are authority for
the statement that marriages are cele-
brated in n room in the temple, dark
ened and made to appear as the garden
Of Eden is represented. The elders,
scribes and apostles are seated around
the altar, at which the groom and bride
and his first wife lSneel. The first wife
always gives away the bride, which she
does by ineeling at her side and placing
her right hand in that of her own hus-
band, saying: "Sister ---, / give thee
to my husband to be his wife, in this
life and in the life TO Gomez She re-
peats n similar formula Co her hus-
band. The bridal couple wear an ZEN
dowment suit" made into continuous
garment, like small boys pantaloons.
Over this is q ''temple robe" q long
flowing garment, usually of white
linen. Symbolic figures are worked in
red over the breast, upon which each
places the right hand swearing loyalty
to the hierarchy, eternal enmity to the
murderers of the Prophet Joseph Smith
and the Gentle world, and forfeiting
their lives If they reveal what there
takes place. Thus it may be under
stood why convicting evidence is so
difficult to get.

Grafton. Five hundred delegates, di-
delegates, constitute what is called
the National Council of the Congre
gational Churches of the United
States" This body remains in session
six days, its sole purpose being the fos-
tering of closer relations between the
churches in different parts of the coun-
try. 1T has no Legislative functions
whatever, as the comforting of such
power on any body would be contrary
to the principle of Congregationalism
The rock upon which the denomina-
ton considers itself founded is the
complete independence of each and
every congregation. Amy associa-
ton of believers, united by formal
covenant for the maintenance of Divine
worship, the observance of Christian
rites and combined efforts to promote
the kingdom of God, constitutes
church society, and as such is compe-
tent to elect and ordain its own officers,
admit or reject applicants for member
ship, exclude unworthy commandments
and transact its own business. The
pastor holds the office OF bishop or
elder. The deacons are not technically
ministers, but they are helpers of the
pastor, and have special charge of re-
ceiving and disbursing the charities Of
the church. In no way does the denom-
ination recognize any rule of ecclesias-
teal -,polity except the Bible, but it
specifically repudiates all claims of SUI
perior bodies to exercise legislative or
judicial authority.
For several hundred years the Con-
gregationalists of America declined to
hold what was now called national"
meetings; but in 1852 a number of dele
gates from various parts of the country
met at Albany, N. Y, for the purpose
of discussing important problems. In
1s65a meeting, known in church history
as the Boston council, met at Boston.
In 1870 the Pilgrim convention, held in
Chicago to commemorate the s50th an
niversary of Congregationalism in
America, suggested to many influential
men the ACCESSIBILITY of holding regular
meetings for the interchange of opinion
and the discussion of questions of inter-
state Importance. The agitation re-
suited in delegate convention, which
met in 'Oberlin, o., in November, 1871,
and formally organized the National
Council" which has met regularly ever
since. The second session of the coun-
Gil was held at New Haven, Conn, in

Hatod wbis,,v Worse Than Poison.

Ex-senator Kellogg, of Louisiana,
who knows all about recent history of
public affairs, says that when John R.,
French was sergeant at arms of the
senate, during the closing hours of
session of congress he prepared an
elaborate lunch in his private Office for
the convenience of the senators who
were much fatigued by the long night
session. Among those who came in
were Zack Chandler, Matt Carpenter,
''rare old McCreary," Roscoe Conkling
and q dozen others, to whom glass of
wine was not at all disagreeable. After
the senators had been helping them
selves to this lunch for an hour or SO,
Chandler suddenly remarked to French:
''The president is in his room, and /
don't believe he has had anything to
eat tonight. How would it do to ask
him in here?" Mr.. French said he would
hardly dare to ask the president to be
his guest, although he would very
much like to send him lunch. sob,
pshaw" said old Zach; ''go ask him in;
he will come" So the sergeant-at-
arms went to the presidents room and
invited him to step in and have little
lunch. Chandler met Grant at the door
and escorted him into the room. The
invitation to the president included
the members of the cabinet, all of
whom came in. The last to come was
Marshall Jewell. Jewell was thirsty
and first wanted glass of water. SO he
stepped up to the water tank which
stood near the marble wash basin, and,
picking up glass he found there, sud
denly exclaimed: There's been whisky
in this glass;" and proceeded to rinse it
again and again, and then, as he
turned the ice-cold water into it, re-
marked: II hate whisky, and l might
also say that l hate any man who
drinks it."
Grant had drunk from that glass, and
this may be one of the incidents which
gradually formed in President Grants
mind prejudice against Gen.
Jewell, the outcome of which was
his peremptory dismissal from
the cabinet. The postmaster gen.
eral had what most men would
regard as profound reason and
right to say what he did in regard to
the use of Intoxicating liquor; for, al
though he never u led it himself in any
form, it was the cause of great domes-
tic sorrow and misfortune to him, as
those familiar with the history of the
household well know.

In the Office of an official of the coast

seeking an item of public interest, a

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
DR.. Paul Paquin's Blood Serum For
mula to be Made Public.

ST. LOUIS, May 22.-The for
mula for DR.. Paul Paquin's blood
serum cure for consumption is to
be given to the world within a
short time, together with a descrip-
ton of all the details necessary for
it's preparation and use.
When the discovery was first an
nounced to the st. Louis Medical
Society by the investigator, who
devoted two years to it's practical
test, he withheld the formula be-
cause he had not yet fully satisfied
himself as to it's efficacy.
DR.. Paquin has begun the prepar-
alton of exhaustive directions for
preparing and administering the
new cure, which he intends for
warding to the Academy of Sci
ences of New York. Before DR..
Paquin's departure it was an
nounced that he would take
with him three of his pa
TENTS, who, from the verge
of the grave, had been brought
to such condition of health that
they have resumed their former
employments.
The patients were John Hopkins,
a blacksmith William Buckley, a
nurse at the Poorhouse, and George
Dolson. All were treated at the
City Hospital.
Among the prominent practi-
TONERS who have taken the matter
up are Professors Wyath and
Shrady of New York and Professor
Welsh of John Hopkins University,
Baltimore.
