with a practical farmer before at

Greenfelds Bend, Maury Co.,
Tenn. August 26, 1896.
To the Editor of the Union.
When day dawned, we were on
the desolate water-lands of Wyom-
ing, and it appeared to me to be
the most forsaken region my eye
haze ever rested upon. About
noon, we passed the Ames mon
ument, erected by the Ames Bros,
Of Boston, marking the highest
point on the u. P. road in crossing
the r o c ky Mountain divide.
About 3 p. m. we reached Chey-
enne, a dessolate, dirty looking
city, and at 6 p. m, we reached
Denver, on the other hand one of
the cleanest cities in the q. S.
In an hour or two, we passed from
the region of perpetual snow to
where summer reigned, and the
people were dressed in their sum-
mer clothes.
The stay in Denver was about
three hours, so most of the Elders
took a street car to the park,
which is a delightful place.
The second night l was SO worn
out that / had no difficulty in
sleeping soundly until the dawn of
day. On opening my eyes they
rested on the plains of Kansas.
The Vegetation of awakening
spring had just emerged from a
refreshing bath of rain, and the
sight was pleasing to gaze upon In
contrast with the dreary landscape
which met our eyes all the live
long day before. All that day we
were speeding eastward through
the state of Kansas and arrived at
Kansas City, just across the Mis-
souri, State line about six o'clock.
The Union. [volume] (St. George, Utah) 1882-1898, 1896-09-19

Notwithstanding it was raining
when we arrived there, a few of
the Elders took car to Independ-
ence to visit the Temple site, and
although [ would have wished
longer stay than they had, I should
have accompanied them, had |
known of their intentions. But |
promised myself a visit to that
historic spot on my return trip, if
circumstances would permit of it.
At Kansas City, we took the
Chicago and Alton r. r. to East
st. Louis, III, and thence to st.
Louis, Mo. Leaving Kansas City
about 9 p. m. Sunday, we were all
night speeding across the state of
missouri toward the rising sun.
Before day break we had crossed
the mighty father of waters and
my waking eyes rested for the
first time upon the lovely landscape
Of South Western Illinois, the
mere mention of which will no
doubt bring tears to the eyes Of
many of your readers when they
recall that the soil of that queen
State of the Uuion is stained with
a prophets blood. Turning south
to E. st. Louis, we again crossed
the Mississippi, and were at Old
st. Louis, where we took the L.
and N. r. r. to Nashville, Tenn.
Twice that Tuesday, morning we
crossed that immense suspension
bridge, spanning the mississippi at
st. Louis, which but few days
latter was twisted out of shape by
cyclone that did such damage to
the two last named cities. Our
course on this day was east ward,
across the southern part Of Illinois
and Indiana, and thence south
through Kentucky to capital Of
Tenn. Every station along the
line that day was thronged with
people, most of whom were colored,
who had, no doubt, heard of the
company of Mormon Elders on
board, which was large enough to
compel the conductor to attach an
extra car, the two Squads of Elders
having joined ranks at Kansas
City. We arrived at Nashville,
Tenn, about 8 p. m. on the 10Th of
May, when we were met by Jos.
d. G. Young of Salt Lake City,
Pres. Of the middle Tenn. Confer
ence and an other Elder. We
soon continued our course south
across Tenn. thence east through
northern Alabama, and then north
east to Chattanooga, Tenn, the
headquarters Of til mission,
arriving at the Union depot about
2 a. m. the next morning. We
went TO the Rossmore hotel, re-
gisterd, and retired to our rooms
for the remainder of the night.
Kneeling in prayer we then retired
were soon lost to the hustle of the

Stephen Cranes new novel, Georges
Mother, abou't to appear, was written
more than year ago.
From Ellen Burns Sherman's essay on
The New Man we are able to give the
closing portion:
Here we may note one Of the differ
ences between the new man and the new
woman. So far as we can learn, she
hasn't been heard to sigh for the dear
old boys-the revered contemporaries of
the dear old girls, and for the simple
reason that she believes that there has
been great Improvement In everything
even in men. 1t would be a bad case
of pessimism, indeed, that could find no
antidote in following the work, for in
stance, of the army of new men enrolled
in the Young Mems Christian associa-
tion, the Epworth league and the Broth
erhood of Saint Andrew (whose total
membership reaches 642 000) not to men,
ton the thousand and one other socie-
ties whose creed is written large over
the lives of suffering humanity. In ad-
dition to all that the world knows of the
new mans achievements, there is q vast
unwritten record of his Samaritanisms,
known only to his most intimate friends,
and perhaps not even to them. Is there
one of us who cannot call to mind some
silent, patient, unknown man whose life
is continual rebuke to the blind accu-
sations against our age? 1t sometimes
seems as though the world were so taken
up with exposing the vices of our gen.
Grafton that it had no time left to eX-
pose its virtues. AS consequence, the
public comes to believe that there aren't
any to speak of-because they aren't
spoken of. But even while the world
points with shamefaced comparisons to
the past or with beseeching entreaties
to the future, it repeats the old-time
blunder of neglecting its own prophets"
NORA PERRY. In the death of Miss
Nora Perry literature has lost sincere
and devout disciple. Few American
writer's have done more faithful and en-
during work. She represented clear
ness and conscience in everything she
wrote in her whole busy career While
she wrote largely for young people her
books have been in all keys and for all
ages and times. She was born in the
little village of Webster, Mass, in 1S41.
and was. therefore, So years old at the
date of her death, which occurred last
month.
Stevenson's Weir of Hermiston was

Winnow the keen sea wind. And here afar,
Intent on my own race and place wrote.

GYPSY, THE PRIEST BY George
Borrow Macmillan & Co, New
York
This is a wonderful book, by q Won
derful man; but the most wonderful
thing about both is that they are 50
little known. Scarcely any among this
generation of novel readers ever heard
of George Borrow, the wandering, we'll
nigh vagrant literary genius, who was
British born in 1903 and died in 1881
Lavepgro was written forty-five years
ago, and shared with many other tales
and sketches great popularity. Per-
haps the most famous, that is, the most
wideiy known of all Borrow's writings
is The Romany Rye, out of which
the beautiful drama of Gypsy life, bear
ing that name, was cast. He who cares
to read sketch of Borrow's career will
find in addition to other sources, much
that is interesting in the preface to the
present volume, written by Augustine
Birrell, M. p. There is also a short
mention of him in a recent number of
The Bookman. The present edition of
Layengro is a fine volume of nearly
600 pages, and the illustrations by Mr..
