Wli CHttlSTJUS TRUCE,
BY J. T. BUBOKSI.
Out on the keen and crispy air
In tones of gladness and or cheer
The Uhrlotmas bells are ringing clear
A truce to hate, and strife, and care.
The sword is thrust within its sheath
The deadly dogs of war are dumb
And friend and foe together ooma
And twine a friendly laurel wreath.
The old forget that they are old
The young forget that life Is brief
And they who grieve forget their'irrM
And laugh at tales again retold? 8
And angel voices sing again,
As sung they on that Eastern plain
Ho long ago, the glad refrain
Of 1 "Peace on earth, good will to men.”
AmUhat good will, that Christly love,
Which since its birth has conquered much
To-day is felt with keener touch c ’’
And more secure the heavenly dove
Of pence rests on our loved shore
And near and nearer to the tree
The world is pressing silently
And nearer to the cross He boro'.

A Suer ess In Every Particular-Fifteen Hundred
Dollars ltcnlizod.
The fhir for the benefltof the Jewish synagogue
closed last night. The fair was a perteet success
in every way. Financially it exceeded th 0 ox-
pcclatious of the moat sanguine.
It is a delight to the whole congregation that
the fair moved along smoothly, and all who at
tended were satisfied and passed the time moM
pleasantly. In behalf of the entire membership
of the synagogue the committee desires to return
thanks to all those who assisted them
with their presence and services; to
the community at large, ’ ailli
those friends in particular to whose generous aid
so much of the success ol the venture is attributa
ble. Thanks are also due to the EaQuimsa-sun
And Ledger for the interest evinced in their col-
umns. The committee says: ‘‘Aside from any
feeling of pride whicu we have in our success, u
is to us a matter of sincere delight that the lair
has given prominence and emphasis to the non-
sectarianism and tlic broad-minded spirit of our
citizens.”
The net proceeds were about $1500.
Miss Julia Greenwood won tnc share of Eagle
& Pticiux stock.
Mr. Will Peabody won the diamond ring.
Messrs. M. Joseph and George Estes won the
silver service.
Mr. E. Lazarus won the music box.
Mr. B. A. Uursou won the gold watch.
The Action of the House of UeiiroNcntAtlvcs.
To remove any misapprehension as to the re
cent action of the house of representatives in re
fusing to adopt the resolution passed in the sen
ate to send commissioners from Georgia to Eu
rope, who would pay their own expenses, it
should be staled that the commissioners proposed
were not to be sent specially to the American ex
hibition to be held in Loudon next year. It was
intended that they should visit Europe and re
port to the next legislature upon commerce,man
ufactures, agriculture, etc. The American ex
hibition would all'ord a most favorable opportu
nity for these proposed commissioners to get the
fullest information as to the best means for the
southern producer to reach the consumers of the
■old w orld. Tne request fur the appointment of
commissioners was simply equivalent to giving
the gentlemen so appointed letters of introduc
tion, so as to place them in accord with conven
tional forms, considered abroad as absolutely
necessary in such cases. Thos. P. Stovall,
Commissioner for Georgia.

now traversvs t„ u south, as in the aspect
o the construction of road bud, track ami
Idges and in passenger cars, and the
menns provided ior transportation for
[leignc iis those of the north. The roads
branch m such valleys ns arc known to he
specially rich, not in iron alone but in
other minerals, some of which are found
in such profusion and jnxtoposition as to
seem to duly geologic laws as elsewhere
illustrated. Prior to the war,” Judge
Kelly writes, ‘ the south neither had nor
desired to have great cities, it is nls > true
that her statesmen preferred that their
workshops should he in foreign lands and
that the ships that exported their pro
ducts and brought them commodities
in exchange, should lie built and owned
by foreigners. In this respect, the con
trast is most striking. Nashville ho found
to be a beautiful city, which surprised him
by flic extent and variety of its manufact
ures and the magniOeauce of its buildings,
(Juattanooga ana Birmingham are each a
marvel in its own way. In the former hu
visited the great industrial ent erprises that
are in operation there, and it was hero that
his attention was first attracted to the
neat, commodious and well-painted homes
of the negro laborers. In mining, smelting
and mechanical pursuits, the mechanical
skill of the colored labor, rs in some of
these enterprises surprised him, and con-
vmced him that with an industrial art
school they would soon produce gratifying
evidence of the adaption of negro labor
to mechanical pursuits requiring a high
degree of skill. Referring to the proximi
ty to coal, iron ore and limestone at Birm
ingham, ho says that it is not surprising
that an over sanguine man of that city
really believes that they will be able to
make iron so cheaply as to soon close up
the works of Pennsylvania, and force her
iron masters and their employes to re-es
tablish themselves at Birmingham. This,
he states, has produced a speculation in
town lots that may retard the immediate
growth of Birmingham, and time by va
rious processes will determine the actual
value of corner lots in a
city whose success is to ex
tinguish the furnace fires of
Pittsburg, Braddocks, Johnstown, Beth
lehem, and generally throughout Pennsyl
vania.
At Anniston, he spent ten days, making
a thorough investigation of the resources
of the country tributary to that place.
Here he found extensive iron works, ma
chine shops, rolling milis, car works and
other industries, besides a large cotton
mill, which ships a considerable part of its
product direct to China. The company
which planned and built Anniston owns
50,000 acres of land, in which are immense
deposits of brown and red hematite, fossil-
liferous, specular and magnetic ore, moun
tains of limestone and seemingly in-
exhaustable supplies of wood and
coking and gas coal. They have
just completed a sixty-mile railroad
and will build another, sixteen miles in
length, besides two other enterprises. He
predicts that though Anniston has never
had a boom, and though its planting and
development have been managed so quiet
ly that its name is hardly recognized by
the popular ear, it will, before two decades
shall have passed, bo

of iron, steel and kindred industries to be
found in those wonderfully endowed
states of Georgia, Alabama and
Tennessee. The growth of Atlanta
surprised him. In 1857 he found it in
ruins and ashes. Now it has over 50,000
inhabitants, whose prosperity is attested
by everything seen there. In closing, he
“I have given bat taint illustrations of
the resources of the mineral regions of the
south; of the impulses that now animate
her controlling people and of the rapid
strides with which the spirit of the nine
teenth century is changing not only the
aspect of the country, but the purposes
and aspirations of the people of the new
south. ”

POLYGAMY IN UTAH.
Iiirilr.tion. I’nlnltng lo tlie Piiwiifnll of Ihf
“twin llrllc"—Sirr«*lon of From I nr at l.viirier.
Wriikrus the Futlli of the Mmshch.
Ooden, Utah, December 21.—Tho Utah
problem appears to be slowly approaching
a solution, and tho indications point to
ward the gradual collapse of the institution
of polygamy. Last spring Lester Herrick,
a wealthy bishop in the church, owning a
large amount of real estate, residing here,
suddenly went on a trip to the coast.
Spring and summer passed, but Bisbop
llerrick Btill tarried, and as lie had four
wives, it began to he suspected that not
having “the fear of tho Lord” before him.
and greatly dreading tho fcinited States
marshal, he had taken to the “under
ground.” Recently the bishop returned
to Ogden, and at once made prepara
tions for the removal of bis legal wife mid
bis household goods to California. A very
shore sojourn in Ogden sufficed to complete
his arrangements, and he has now depart
ed for his new home, leaving' behind him
three separate families, for whom, how
ever, he 1ms liberally provided.
Those of the church profess to believe
that Herrick will return to his old homo
when tilings are mure settled; but the
facts have become known that lie has left
his property in the hands ol an agent to
be disposed of; that a sale of one city lot
has been effected and that the gentleman
has become an owner of estates in South
ern California. There is no doubt that
Herrick has permanently left Utah and
the church, and that if any deception has
been practiced, the church is the object of
it.
Bishop Herrick was well liked by his
gentile fellow citizens and possessed their
confidence. Ho is a man of more than
average ability, shrewd ami honorable 111
bis dealings, it was a daugnlcr of Bishop
Herrick’s whom members of bis own
church endeavored to compromise with
Judge Powers, in order tuaa U10 judge’s
character might be blackened; but tho
plan reacted upon the head of one ol their
witnesses, who was convicted of perjury
and is now serving out a live-yeurs’ sen
tence. The lady has since been happily
married to a gentile.
Another bishop .11 Salt Lake City, John
Sharp, who is also superintendent of tue
Utah Central railway, declined about a
year ago to “live bis religion” on the occa
sion of his having to pieud to au indict
ment charging unlawful cohabitation.
"Guilty,” said Mr. Ubarp, “and 1 promise
to obey the law in lulure, and to urge
others to do likewise,” vvnereupon sent
ence was suspended, and so was Bishop
Sharp from his bishopric iu the Mormon
church.
A few more such examples as these, and
the crumbling edifice will totter to its fall.
The hiding away of John Taylor to escape
trial under indictment, and tne bail-jump
ing of George Q. Cannon, first and second
presidents of the church, respectively, are
causing much unfavorable comment
among the more intelligent Mormons.
A gentleman who has passed three years
in Utah expresses his view of tho exiting
situation us follows: “Polygamy is the
least of the evils which the government
has to contend with in its struggle with
Moruouism. No endowment-house cere
mony of marriage is complete without the
taking of the blood-curdling oath to obey
the priesthood in all things, religious and
secular. Tile oath pledges those who take
it to regard the United htates government
us their worst enemy. The climax of trea
son would seem to nave been reached by
these bigoted law-breakers; hence, while
the present law majr be sufficient to event
ually put un end to polygamous practices,
something of a more radical nature is
hoped for by the loyal people of this ter
ritory to effectually divorce church and
state, even if it go to the extent of govern
ing Utah by a commission.”

Some years ago my mother’s health be

could not sleep, and without strength of
course could not walk without experienc

remedies, but without any permanent re
sults. Stimulants would refresh for the
time being, but did not build up the sy i-
! tern. We heard of Ewift’s Specific and its
! tonic effects. We secured several packages
of the dry form—the powdered roots and
I herbs—and after using some half dozen
'packages my mother has regained her

Green A Co., in their report on cotton futures,
says : The demand proved active along the en
tire line of contracts, developing largely an over
sold market and anxiety of shorts to cover their
deals and gave a whirl to the prices that resulted
in a 15 to 10 points advance, closing with a firm
tone with aooui the highest prices 01 the day.
lteally new demand was rather checked by con
tinued full port receipts.
