By JOAQUIN MILLER. author o?? ???soyas or thr sierras," ???the DUIW,??? ???HIHOR1R AND BISIE,??? RTO. CHAPTER V. THE GRAVES OF THR DEAD SEA. The book of Mormon is of prodigious size Rod unexampled silliness One marvels that RDy one ever bad the persistence to write down its endless round of repetitions of bib lical words and phrases. Professing to give, in the style and language of tbe Bible, the history of tbe tribes trom the time of their disaffection till they possessed America and became tbe mound-builders, it is simply in tolerable aa a piece of artistic work. Yet it was found in dll mining camps, where in the snowy fastnesses we often nad nothing else left to read, and thus fell to my lot to read ittbrougnnotnnfrequently. From title- page to colophon there is not one lofty or in spired or inspiring tbongbt, like those tilling the volume it affects to follow. A dreary, weary book it is. And yet it answers tbe Mormon's purpose in this: that where he cannot hud an excuse for bis actions in the real book, be can surely find it in tbe forged one. After this bags man with the book and tbe deep hollow eyes bad exhorted and preached and read for honrs and hours, baiting now and then as he read, devouring the whole camp and all the circle about him with hia hungry eyes, tbe girl drawn even nearest of all, and right under hia eyes and right by the side of her ignorant and fanatical execution ers, be calmly and with earnest exhortation begged to baptize his listeners in the faitn of tbe Latter Day Saints. ho one answered or moved. Many a long breath was drawn, many n deep sigh was smothered, but iio one apoke. The mission ary, as he announced himself, looked straight and hard and earnestly at tbe girl. She lifted her weary black eyes to his once more, and tried hard to read if there waa any help or any hope at all in them. Dot she did not apeak. The man arose, went down to the bank, drank a cupful of water, came back and began to read and exhort and explain and endeavor to proselyte once more. And so this strange man kept on till the day was spent No one had spoken save himself. No one had tasted food Some of the children had slept, their beads in their weary mothers' laps, as they sat in circle and listened and listened in silence, that long, long day, under tbe vast blue eky, by the dark and desolate lake of death, Andnowmarkl When that man was done reading and tbe sun was going down, there was nota weary and overcome man or woman there who was not awed or terrified or fasci nated into some sort of half belief I Again the man rose np and pleaded for converts to his singnlar faith. He etretcbed hia hands over the darkening lake as tbe sun went down; he lifted his long arms to ???the mountains of snow beyond the youDg city; he appealed to nothing low, to nothing bad, bat to mnch that was noble in man anu sab- lime in nature. Hia lips were dry, his eyes were deep and hollow and wild, bat be kept on till the sun had fallen behind tbe eteep hill that roBe in our road before ns. Surely tbe man was mad. And yet. as typical, aa true a Mormon elder was he, as photograph could print. He made a last appeal to tbe weak and now prostrate girl. Some one of dark, sad eyes, looked up again, and again tried to answer. The suspense wss terrible. Every one leaned forward. Tbe very stars up in heaven ???topped l heir merry twinkle. The moon leaned low and large, and looked with a patient, sympathizing fare down Into her sister's face upon earth. Tbe man was anger ed at her hesitation. He asked her again and savagely. At last the whispered, ???Yea*' What eat oor horror to bear him calmly, almost bitterly, answer: "Then God he praised I You shall die in the faith, my wife. And so we shall meet again."

Whether tbe Mormon missionary impro vised his brief ceremony and action, or fol lowed tbe prescribed forms, it is not impor tant to say. But be led her back soon to where all stood waiting, respectful, silent aa before. The girl seemed a bit refreshed, hopeful What bad he said to ber? What would be do now? Hand her over ta one of the blood; men there as a bride? Keep her himsetl? No, not tbia last. There was not a shadow of interest in her in any one of the hard and very deep lines of that massive and monk- like face. He stopped still a moment and prayed. How new, strange, awfni, weird all this waa in tho dim twilight by the darkening lake of death I Some birds flew into camp from the hills. It was a strange thing, and the first time in a thousand years, that man had come to pitch tent in their resting-place. The moon, round-faced and full, leaned ontof heaven and looked straight down, close down, calm and pitying, like the sorrowful face of a nnn at prayer. Surely in a scene like this, now at last, after ail this suffering, this suspense???surely, sure ly after prayer and baptism in the name of the moat high O ld???ahe would be saved; saved in body and in mind; saved in all her purity, and peace of mind, and love, and sympathy, and sad memories ol her dear dead who lay bnritd out yonder in the lake in chains. Tbe horsemen stood waiting orders. They had not tasted food or water all that time they waited'here in tbe grass. These poor, deluded men believed they were listening to tbe voice of God. They were men who could not read tbeir names. Never had Mahomeat such blind, faitbfnl, devoted following os these bloody men here waiting to do the work of death. It is notable that all false religions, all re- ligions save the one religion of Chriat, have bad their corner stones laid and cemented down in blood. They have been built up by ignorance and maintained in imparity. Tbe giant missionary came forward up the bank, leading >lre girl by the hand. He waa evidently worn and weak, but be was aa full of mad zeal for his work as ever bef >re. He again sppesl.d for proselytes. No one came forward. Then hia farrowed brow grew dark and revengeful. He beckoned for hfs followers to get ready. In a moment more they were ready to spring into the saddle. In the mean time he bad mentioned to our party to lay iu a keg of water, rouse up the retting cattle, yoke tnem and cimb tbe bill ou our Journey lo the west. Our party obeyed this last injunction with alacrity. They could hardly conceal their pleasure. Yet a night???s persistent travel and a day???s dreadful anxiety following on its heels are hardly calculated to cherge any one with a superabundance of spirit*. In a little time tbe cattle were once more in line under tbe yoke and etanding with noee lifted to the hill before them. The horsemen held tightly to their borees, one frot in the stirrup The poor bones pawed tbe g-onnd in impatience to reach tbe water that gargled and talked on eait glided to the eee in the fall faced moon.

Nlvrl???a argument in favor of Mr. Hammond may be included in three propostrious. 1. Mr Hammond has remained in congress just lug enough to become familiar with all of its udnoe routine. 2 lie has obtained high rank in Washington t y. 3 Ho should be retained In congress until promo* tion nr death may remove him. Them two first propositions are _ot in acoord. If Mr. Hammoud baa "Just become familiar with business routine," how is it possible that he has obtained high rank 7 Tbe fact Is, that no man who used six years to learu (he ???oU'IneM routine" o* afterwards in wlnuing teaches ns that (be gre??t "Jff _ first term.

Gentlemen with yean less of congres sional experience than Mr. Hammond have pasted bus, and do occupy positions as chairman. Tbe custom ban been to make chalimeu of each committee that member of tbe speaker party whose name stood first of those who served upon tho prior Committee during the previous session. Pro motion and other chaugHi, left Mr. Hammond the first democrat on the judiciary committee. Usage ???mtitiea him to the chairmanship, but tbe speaker did not appoint hJm. His claims by position were superior to those of all other. He had been Mr. Carlisle's warm supporter, but Mr. Tucker, from another committee, was brought to the judiciary committee, and placed over Mr. Hammond It most have been that Mr. Carlisle's friend did Dot thiokhla rank sufficient to appoint him r hair- indulge in detailed ppedficadons of Mr. Hammond???s wora. but L showed from the re* cord mat batons bill Introduced by Mr Hammoad during hie entlr service, passed both houses Tho bill wax the one which provided for a sep arate United States court for the northern district of Georgia.

But be has already received* third term. He has no claim upon a fourth. ct vis hts called attention to the bills introduced by Mr. Hammond which have not passed. Among the number he mentions tbe bil providing for tnrec vice presidents. This poor bill has bten to com* 8 1etely cursed by congress and by the press that Ms should have allowed It to be forgoateu The barracks bill was ldtroduced by Mr Hammond, but, as Clvia says, i* required the purchase of a par ticular plsoe, ana there were difficulties connectac with that place.

Civls falls to appreciate the argument It 1 not that such bills are beneath notice. It is .that Mr. Hammoud failed to pass any of them. It ii nothing to introduce a bill, but au effio*eut cou gresamau should be able to pass a bill afier lutro- during Mr. Hammond's failure to pass any of these bills but proves the position taken by those who feel that the rule of rotatlou should HHlorcsd He is an able lawyer and a man unquestionable integrity. But his life has been a told one. His Intercourse wbh hi* clients has b en solely an Intercourse of businem. Employed aud feed, he did hia duty and collected .his fee witbout practicing tho power of drawing men to him. of making them hia friends, of obtaining the influence of a leader over them Those qualities necessary for local leadership, are the same as those required in Washington city. Mr. Hammond lacks them to a marked degree, l-horeforo, the failure of bis bills, Clvia then undertakes to mention several moas urea which Ur. Hammond opposed. The first it known sa tbe Day claim. It was made by Day for money which be had paid to the government for the Benjamin property. Tho property waa confis cated by tho government aud sold to Day. I he confiscation was not sustained. The governmont held Day???s money and he lost the laud He ap?? ??? d for the money Mr Hammond objected to payment of Day's claim, and called to his tho rule of caveat cm t. tor.

Mr. Ham mond's friends even bave not claimed for him more than a participation in a few cils- missions of a private character. Upon no groat auesiion of party policy or of government has Mr. Hammoud taken part. Can It be inristod that Mr H??mmoud has made a word which removes him from tho rule of rotation?
