PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
(COntinued)


We did not leave for our mis-
sions until some time in October
when we bid good bye to Slap-jack
Bar. Reaching Sacramento City
we hired rooms on j Street to
await the arrival of our President,
who was to join us. The cholera
was raging in the city. After wait
ing a few days for Elder Clark, VINO
had not put in an appearance, VIZ
left few things for him, also a
note, and went down to San Fran
cisco and awaited his arrival which
was not until the Sth day Of No
yember. In San Francisco the
cholera was taking off its score
daily. On the 9th of November
Elder Clark engaged our passage
on the ship 'Imaun of Muscat," an
English Vessel, with Mr.. Riches
as captain. She is bound for the
East Indies and will touch at the
Sandwich Islands. Elder Black
we'll, while walking the deck in
the dark of the evening, fell through
the latchway smashing his watch
to pieces and severely injuring
and bruising his shoulder. The
weather. being stormy the captain
will not sail for a few days. A
vessel that came floating and drag
ging her anchor, ran into the bow
of our ship tearing away the pilot
house and hooked anchors.
Thursday, November 81. The
weather keeps boisterous. Last
night Brother Cannon dreamed
that the prophet Joseph came on
board and told us that we must ex-
ercise faith and pray more. He
then went forward and kneeled
down on the bowsprit and prayed,
after which we took hold Of the
anchor-chain and with ease raised
the anchor up on deck.
On account of head winds the
captain did not sail until the 22nd
at 2 p. m. and in passing ont of
the harbor through the Golden
Gate into the Great Pacific Ocean,
it seemed to me the vessel would
capsize, and when night set in it
was cloudy and very dark. We
were among breakers and the waves
running high. All at once the
tiller rope broke and we were left
to the mercy of the rocks and
waves of the sea. The captain
was heard 10 say to his wife that
he did not know but their time
had come. His wife burst into
tears and said she was ready

DISEASES OF THE SKIN.

The intense itching and smarting inch
dent to eczema, letter, salt-rheum, and other
diseases of the skin is instantly allayed by
applying Chamberlain's Eye and Skin
Ointment. Many very bad cases have been
permanently cured by it. It is equally
efficient for itching piles and favorite rem
edy for sore nipples; chapped hands, chill
blains frost bites, and chronic sore eyes.

David III. cannon said in travelling
among the people we find many who are
trying to live their religion. Encouraged
the bishops in looking after those who
are dilatory in attending to their duties.
Advised all to pay their tithing. Said
that the Presidency of the Stake in tray
cling through the Stake had sought to
impress upon the people the necessity of
laboring with those who are careless in
performing their duties, not because OF
a benefit that would be received by those
who labor with the people but that those
who are delinquent in performing their
duties might be benefited thereby. The
duties of the Latterday Saints are of that
nature that we cannot affored to triffe
with the Holy Priesthood but it is the
Priesthood itself that God has given us
and we must sustain that Priesthood AS
we will not be held blameless but every
man that holds the Holy Priesthood If he
is careless and does not honor that Priest

The COLD Lace Colonrls.

A grave military and aesthetic response
bility rests upon and perplexes the Hon.
Roger Wolcott, acting governor and soon
to be governor of Massachusetts. He has
to select his staff, TO choose from the I'M
numbered colonies of Massachusetts the
flower and quintessence of colonies, the
very colonies of colonies, the elect and hal
lowed shapes which shall be stiff with gold
and illuminate with buttons during his ad-
ministration. There are no stats like the
staff of governor of Massachusetts. And
though there were, as there are, more
colonies in the United States than there
were soldiers in the Civil war, there are
no colonies like that governors colonies.
Other colonies may be terrible; his are
simply and compoundly sweet. Others
may bristle like the horsehair plumes of
war; his are as the gentle Furnished iris of
th e dove is. They are less active as war
ri ors than as missionaries of the beautiful.
They brighten the horses and fascinate the
ladies in hundred villages. They make
college commandments picture and cat
tie shows pageant. They are golden
dream. In the silent midnight watches
the acting governor PAGES the floor, and
wrinkles of anxiety begin to show on his
handsome features. Who shall his colonies
be?-Nel0 York Sun.

An Italian paper published at Newark

An Italian paper published at Newark,
n. j., says: "There are about 1000, 900
Italians in the United States. One-third
OF them are settled in the principal cities.
Half of these are laborers. Fifty per cent
are illiterate. They are hard and steady
workers, very saving, and anxious to i'm
prove themselves, When they have no
chance 10 work at their own trade, they
will accept any other kind Of work and
any wages. The Italians hate begging.
Has any reader of this ever been stopped
by an Italian and asked for "nickel?"
In the record Of charitable institutions
there are very few Italian names.
Chicago claims population of LII 900
on the basis of the vote cast at the presi-
dental election. This is counting five per-
sons to one voter, and there were 354 200
of the latter in the city proper, aside from
the 1881 women who voted for university
trustees. New York citizens turned out TO
vote as they never had before, but they
failed TO roll up such total as Chicago
did. Unless, therefore, il can be shown
that there was padding of the registration
lists at Chicago or fraud at the polls, the
western city is in fair way To demonstrate
the truth of its claim which would place
1t ahead of New York in population. In
1890 the western metropolis had only lit
tie over million population, while New
York had over 100000.
The Boston papers give an account of
the second annual reunion of the employees
of Joseph Breck & Sons, which was held
at Arcade hall, Nov. 81. All the members
OF the corporation and their wives were
present as guests and the evening was
made a delightful social occasion. A re-
ception preceded the interesting program
of music and readings which had been ar
ranged. After the reception came dance
in which hosts and guests joined in a
charming spirit of fraternity and good will
1t is fact worthy of note that the salts
faction which customers find in dealing
with this lOng-establshed firm of seedsmen
is no doubt largely due TO the friendly re-
lations and feeling of good-fellowship
which prevail between employees and EN-
ployed throughout the large concern.

pIekens,s Dummy Rooks.

Dickens was a well.spring of mirth, and
his humor affected the whole party. Often,
when came down to London, he would

When everything else failed the library was
an unending amusement. The room was
lined with books from floor TO ceiling, even
the backs Of the doors being bookcases;
but the books on the doors and along the
floor were bogus. Dummy backs had been
lettered with titles and pasted on the glass,
and titles had been selected by such wits
as Dickens, Yates, the Collins brothers,
Albert Smith and Mark Lemon, of Punch.
We used to sit on the floor to study this
mock library and roll over with delight at
some clever satire. | remember THE vir-

these books should have been preserved,
but nobody thought of writing 1t out; no.
body realized that Dickens would ever die.

BrOnIsIsw Huberman, the Latest Musi-
cal Wonder.


A blind man listening to Bronislaw
Huberman would sit entranced by the sub
lime music he produces from his violin,
says a New York correspondent, but to
see boy of Is playing with all the under
standing, the depth of feeling and the
technical skill of maturity, the master
pieces of the masters upon the greatest OF
all musical instruments, was not to me an
altogether pleasant sensation. l felt as
one might feel in the presence of some
supernatural manifestation. The playing
of this lad seems almost a miracle. He
stands among the three or four greatest
violnists of the world. No one can ex-
plain how this boy plays as he does, except
on the theory that he is an inspired
genius, to whom has been given that know
ledge and skill in music which others at
tain only after many years of patient
study and practice. Although he has the
body of boy, he has, when playing, the
face of man of 30. Think of a boy of l3
dressed in short trousers and white silk
blouse, with long jet black hair hanging
on his shoulders, standing calmly beside
Anton Seldi, Americas famous conductor,
the pupil and secretary of Wagner, and
drawing his bow across the strings of his
violin with the superb mastery of Sara
safe or a Sauret. The immense audience
that filed Carnegie Hall gave expression
to its delight by repeated cheers and cries
of "bravor' 1t endorsed the verdict that
Anton Rubinstein, Johannes Brahms, An
ton Dvorak and other Old World compos-
ers have rendered as to the playing of this
richly endowed boy.

or the result of the embalming operation.
