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'. TUli JKW1S1I K\ H. 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.

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 ONE OK TUB MOST RUMAllKABLE CENTRES 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. ” ON CHANGE.

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.” Words of tlm Wise.
