realized to our mind the perfection of youthful
grace and dignity. This feature is one that is
very noticeable in all of St. Joseph's exercises

Another graceful popularity of this distribu-

A few years ago it came into the head of some one to utilize the cutting power of sand, as shown in it's effects where it is blown against the glass of light houses. The sand-blast- instrument by means of which fine, sharp sand is thrown against the surface to be cut was the result, and its practical value has now been demonstrated in such variety of methods and applications as to admit of no doubt in regard to. it's permanent place in operative mechan- isms. It reproduces on glass the finest steel engravings; it carves the most delicate designs on cut glass 1t en- graves cameos, and it does in five min utes that which takes the most industrl- ous stone-cutter hours to accomplish, solid granite and marble dissolving be- fore it quicker than snow melts in hot sun. And all this is the result of the simple principle that sand will act upon the surface of glass and other minerals, but not upon any vegetable or animal substance so when surface of glass or stone is partially covered with paper, cloth, leather, grease, or ink, the sand will fall harmlessly away from the paper, etc., but will eat into the mineral as certain as acids eat into steel.

A correspondent of the Providence R. T.

A woman came, met her husband, and they seated themselves on the greensward, and spread on the grass the dinner, he giving the wife some of the edibles. After drinking from the pail he gave it to her, gave her a kiss, and went. to his work, and she to her happy home. On one of the benches sat man and wife; she had brought his dinner. After gobbling it down he took up the pail, and, after tasting it, dashed the contents into her face and went to his work.

thirty years ago q friend lost by bots a
very fine horse. He took from the
stomach of the dead horse about a gill

rations of every remedy he had heard
of, and put some of them into each.-
Most had no effect, few affected them
slightly, but sage-tea more than any
thing else; that killed them in fifteen
hours. He concluded he would kill
them by putting them into nitric acid /;

water; the third day they were as live

put some in; they were dead in one
minute. Since then have had it given

other horse effected with bots, several
years later. He gave him the tansy in

evening; the next morning he took up

The REYNOLDS case in Utah, in
which a Mormon Of that name was
convicted Of bigamy for practicing.
polygamy is important, in the first
place, as being the only case brought
to trial under the law Of 'G2, denoun-
cling it as crime. Chief Justice
White charged the jury ably, but
temperately, holding it to be consti-
tutionally unlawful to practice plural
marriage in the name of religion.
The jury recommended Mr.. Reynolds
to the mercy Of the court. 1t is no.
ticeable that he was convicted by
jury composed partly of Mormons.-
Appeal has beon taken, and it is|hopcd
this case will be carried by common
consent to the supreme court Of the
United States. 1t is due to Judge
White to say that he is the only man
so far as we know who has had the
courage to pronounce the act Of 1862
good law.


We remember that during the cx-
citement about the Mormons several
years ago two clcrgymcn in Chicago
openly defended the right Of the Nor
mon people to enjoy this odious in
stitution Of plural marriage as right
grounded in the sacred principal Of
religious liberty. But this does not
prove the nconstitutionality of the
Of the law. 1t only shows that there
is wholesome jealously Of that kind
of liberty among all rcligionists, and
that the question is "a serious one. II
was SO regarded when the law under
Reynolds was convicted was passed
by congress, and, as we remember, its
doubtful observation-disclosures silad-
owed forth in an ambiguous wording
of the statute itself, or rather in a
proviso which implied such doubt.
The Mormon people have always
profcsscd desire to test the validi-
Ety Of that law, "and we hope the
Reynolds case will furnish them the
coveted opportunity. If Chief Justice
Whites judgment of it is consistent
with the federal constitution, and this
shall be affirmed by the United States
