THE USES OF TROUBLE.
'Sermon by Rev. T. DeWitt Tal
rage, D. D.
Trouble Is Designed to Keep the World
From Being Too Attractive-How
Human Beings are Fitted for
Heaven by Their Suf
ferings on Earth.
I The text of Dr. Talmage's recent ser
mon at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
was: "God shall -wipe all tArs from
their eyes"-Rev. vii., 17. The eloquent
divine spoke as follows:
. Riding across a Western prairie, wild
flowers up to the hub of the carriage
wheel, and while a long distance from
any shelter, there came a sudden shower,
ani while the rain was falling in tor
rena, the sun was shining as bright
as I .ever saw it shine; and I thought
what a beautiful spectacle .this is!
So the tears of the Biblo are not
midnight storm, but rain on pnsied
- o swet and goden sun
ight. You remember that bottle which
David labeled as containing tears, and
Mar-y's tears, and Paul's tears, and
Christ's tears, and the harvest of joy
thatis to spring from the sowing of tears.
God mixes theiii. God rounds them. God
shows them where to fall. God exhales
them. A census is taken of them. and
there is a record as to the nioment when
they are born, and as to the place of their
grave. Tears of bad men are not kept.
!Alexander, in his sorrow, had the hair
clipped from his horses and mules. and
made a great ado-about his grief; but in
all the vases of heaven there is not one
of Alexander's tears. I speak of the
tears of the good. Alas! me! they are
falling all the time. In summer. you
sometimes hear the growling thunder,
and you see there is a storm miles away:
but you know from the drift of the clouds
that it will not come anywhere near you.
So, though it may be all bright around
about us.there is a shower of trouble
sonewhere all the time. Tears! Tears!
What is the use of them anyhow?
Why not substitute laughter? Why not
make this a world where all the people
are well and eternal strangers to pain
and aches? What is the use of an east
ern storm when we might have a per
petual nor'wester. Why, when a family
is put together, not have them all stay,
or if they must be transplanted to make
other homes, then have them all alive?
the family record telling a story of mar
riages and births, but of no deaths.
Why not have-the harvests chase each
other without fatiguing toil? Why the
hard pillow, the hard crust, the hard
strungle? It is easy enough to explain
a smile, or a success, or a congratula
tion: but, come now, and bring all your
dictionaries and all your philosophies
and all your religions, and help me ex
blain a tear. A chemist will tell you
that it is made up of salt and lime and
other component parts; but he misses
the chief ingredients-the acid of a
soured lies, the viperine sting of a bitter
memory, the fragments of a broken
heart. I will tell you what a tear is; it
is agony in solution.
Hear me, then, while I discourse to
you of the uses of trouble.
- First-It is the design of trouble to
iceep this world from being too attrac
tive. Something must be done to make
us willing to quit this existence. If it
were not for trouble this world would
--e-gonnougn eaven for me. You
and I would be willing to take a lease of
life for a hundred million years if there
were no trouble. The earth cushioned
and upholstered and pillared and chan
deliered with such expense, no 'story of
other worlds could enchant us. We
would say: "Let well enough alone. If
you want to die and have your body dis
integrated in the dust, and your soul go
out on a celestial adventure, then you
can go: but this world is good enough
for me." You might as well go to a man
who has just entered the Louvre at
Paris, and tell him to haste n off to the
picture galleries of Venie or Florence.
"Why," he would say. "what is the use
of my going there? There are Rem
brandts and Rubenses and Raphaels here
that I haven't lookedeat yet."____
No man wants to go out of this worw,
or out of any house, until he has a bet
ter house. To cure this wish .to stay
here God must somehow create a dis
gust for our surroundings. How shall
He do it? Hie can not afford to deface
His horizon, or to tear off a fiery panel
from the sunset, or to substract an an
ther from the water lily, or to banish
the pungent aroma from the umignonette,
or to drag the robes of the morning in
mire. You can not expect a Christopher
Wren to mar his own St. Paul's cathe
dral, or a 3Michael Angblo to dash out his
owxi "Last Judgment," or a Handel to
discard his "Israel in Egypt;" and you
can not expect God to spoil the archi
tecture and music of his own world.
How then are we to be made willing to
leave? Here is where trouble comes in.
After a man has a good deal of trouble
he says: "Well, I am ready to go. If
there is a house somewhere whose roof
doesn't leak, I would like to live there.
If there is an atmosphere somewhere
that does not distress the lungs I would
like to breathe it. If there is a society
where there is no tittle-tattle, I would
like to live there. If there is a home
circle somewhere where I can find my
lost friends, I would like to go there."
He used to read the first part of the Bible
chiefly, now he reads the last part of the
Bible chiefly. Why has he changed
Genesis for Revelation? Ah! he used to
be anxious chiefly to know how this
world was made, and all about its geolog
ical construction. Now he is chiefly
anxious to know how the next wc rld was
made, and how it looks, and who live
there, and how they dress. He reads
Revelation ten times now where lhe
reads Genesis once. The old story, "In
the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth," does not thrill him half
as much as the other story, "I saw a new
heaven and, a new earth." The old
man's hand 'trembles as he turns over
this apoclytic leaf, and he has to take
out his handkerehief to wipe his spec
tacles. That book of Revelation is a
prospectus now'of the country into which
he is to soon immigrate; the country in
which he has lots already laid out, and.
avenues opened, and trees planted, and
mansions built.
The thought of the blessed place
that if this house were one great ship.
and you all were passengers en hoard it,
and one hand Qould launch that ship
into the glories of heaven, I should' be
tempted to take the responsibility and
launch you all into glory with one
stroke, holding on to the side of the boat
until I could get in myself. And yet
there are people here to whom this
world is brighter than heaven. Well,
dear souls, I do not blame you. It is
patural. But after a while you will be
ready to go. It was not unitil Job had
been worn out wita bereav'ements and'
carbuncles and a pest of a wifo that lhe
wanted to see God. It was not until the
prodigal got tired of living ;mong the
hogs that ho wanted to go to his father's
house. It is the ministry of trouble to
make this world worth less and heaven
worth more.
Again, it is the use of trouble to make
us feel our oompleto dependence upon
God. King Alphonso said that if he had
been present at the creation he could
have made a better world than this.
What a pity he was not present! I do
not know what God will do when some
men die. ' Men think they can do any
thing until God shows them they can do
nothing at all. We lay our great plans
and we like to execute them. It looks
big. God comes and takes us down. As
Prometheus was assaulted by _his enemy,
when the lance struck him it opened'a
a o~amethat had threatened his
Leath, anu tie cot well-. >o it is the ar
row of trouble that lets out great swol
lings of pride. We never feel our de
pendence upon God until we get into
troubl-'. I 4-:. riding with my little

r the reins to her. an' I
had to : .the glee with which she
drove. Bur. after awhile we meta team,
and we had to turn out. The road was
narrow. and it was sheer down on both
sides. She handed the reins over tome,
and said: "I think you had better take
charge of the horse." So we are all
children; and on this road of life we
like to drive. It gives one such an ap
pearance of superiority and power. It
looks big. But after a while we meet
some obstacle, and we have to turn out,
and the road is narrow. and it is sheer
down on both sides: and then we are
willing that God should take the reins
and drive. Ah! my friends. we get upset
so often because we do not hand over the
reins soon enough.
Can you not tell when you hear a man
pray. 'whether he has ever had any
trouble? I can. The cadence, the
phraseology indicate it. Why do women
pray-etter than men? Because they
have had more trouble. Before a man
has had any trouble, his prayers are
poetic, and he begins away up among
the sun, moon and stars, and gives the
Lord a great deal of astronomical in
formation that must be highly gratify
inp He then comes downgradually over
beautiful tablelands to "forever and ever
amen." But after a man has had trouble,
prayer is with him a taking hold of the
arm of God and crying out for help. I
have heard earnest prayers on two or
three occasions that I remember.
Once, on the Cincinnati express train.
going at forty miles the hour, and the
train jumped the track, and we were
near a chasm eighty feet deep: and the
men who, a few minutes before. had been
swearing and blaspheming God, began
to pull and jerk at the bell rope. and got
up on the back of the seats and cried
out, "0 God, save us!" There was an
other time, about eight hundred miles
out at sea, on a foundering steamer,
after the last lifeboat had been split
finer than kindling wood. They prayed
then. Why is it you so often hear peo
ple, in reciting the last experience of
some friend, say: "He made the most
beautiful prayer I ever heard?" What
makes it beautiful? It is the earnest
ness of it. Oh. I tell you a man is ir
earnest when his stripped and naked
soul wades out in the soundless, shore
less, bottomless ocean of eternity.
It is trouble, my friends, that makes
us feel our dependence upon God. We
do not know our own weakness or God's
strength until the last plank breaks. It
is contemptible in us when there is
nothing else to take hol'd of, that we
catch hold of God only. A man is unfor
tunate in business. lie has to rraise a
good deal of money, and raise it quickly.
He borrows on word and note all he can
borrow. After awhile he ruts a mort
gage on his house. After awhile he puts
a second mortgage on his house. Then
he puts a lien on his furniture. Then he
makes over his life insuranc.e. Then he
assigns all his property. Then he goes
to his father-in-law and asks for help:
Well, having failed everywhere, com
pletely failed, he gets down on his knees
and says: "O, Lord. I have tried every
body and every thing, now help me out
of this financial trouble." IHe makes
God the last resort instead of the first
resort. There are men who have paid
ten cents on a dollar who could have'
paid a hundred cents on a dollar if they
had gone to God i time. Why, you do
not know who the Lord is. lie is not
an autocrat seated far up in a palace,
from which He merges once a year, pre
ceded by heralds swinging swords to
clear the way. No. But a Father, will
ing at our call. to stand by us in every
crisis and predicament of life.
I tell you what some of you business
men make me thisk of. A young man
goes off from home to earn his fortune.
He goes with his mother's consent and
benediction. She has large wealth but
he wants to make his own fortune. i~e
goes far away, falls sick, gets out of
money. He sends for the .hotel keeper
where he is staying. asking for lenience.
and. the answer he gets is: "If ,you don't
pay us Saturday night you will be re
moved to the hospital." The youing man
sends to a corpirade in the same biuilding.
No help. He writes to a banker who
was a friend of his deceased father. No
relief.. He writes to an old schoolmate.
bu tts no help. Saturday nightcomes,
and'eo-is moved to the hospital.
Getting there he is frenzied with grief.
and he borrows a sheet of paper and a
postage stamp and he sits down and he
writes home, saying: "D~ear mother, 1
am sick unto death. Come." It is ten
minutes of ten o'clock when she gets
the letter. At ten o'ilock the train
starts. She is five minutes from the
depot. She gets there in time to have
five minutes to spare. She wonders why
a train that can go thirty miles an hour
can not go sixty miles an hour. She
rushes into the hospital: She says: "My
so, wns' Qoes au? tas mean: i fly
didn't you send for me? You sent to
everybody but me. You knew I could
and wouldl help you. is this the reward
I get for my kindness to you always?"
She bundles him up. takes him home,
and gets him well very soon.
Now, some of you treat God just as
that young man treated his mother.
When you get into a financial perplex
ity, you call on the banker, you call on
the broker, you call on your creditors,
you call on your lawyer for legal coun
sel; you call upon everybody, and whern
you can not get any help, then you go to
God. You say:
"0 Lord, I come to Thee, Help me
now out of my perplexity." And the
Lord comes, though it is the ele'vent-h
hour. He says: "Why did you not send
for me before? As one whom his moth
er comforteth, so will I comfort you." It
is to throw us back up~on an all comfort
ing God that we have this ministry of
tears.
Again, it is the use of trouble to
capcitate us for the office of sympathy.
The priests under the old dispensation.
were set apart by having wate~ sprinkled
on their hands, feet aud head; and by
the sprinkling of tears people are now
set apart to the ottice of sympathy.
When we are in prosper'ity we like to
have a great many young people around
,and we laugh when they laugh, and
we romp when they romp, and we sing
when they sing; but when we have
trouble we like plenty bf old folks
around. Why? They know how to talk,
Take an aged mother, seventy years of
age, and she is almost o:onipotent in
comfort. Why? She has been through
it all. At seven o'clock in the morning
she goes over to comfort a young mother
who has just lost her babe.
Grandmother knows all about that
trouble. Fifty years ago she felt it. At
twelve o'clock cf t'nat day she goes over
to comfort a widowed soul. She has been
walking in that dark valley twenty
years. At four o'clock in the afternoon
some one knocks at the door wanting
bread. She knows all about that. Trwo
or three times~ in her life she came to
her last leaf. At ten o'clock that night
she goes ever to sit up with sonie one so
verely sick. She knows all about it.
She knows all about fevers and pleurl
sies and broke~n bones. She has been
doctoring all her life, spreading plasters
and pouring out bitter drops, and shak
ing up hot pillows, and contriving thinigs
to tempt a poor appetite. IDoctors Aber
nethy and Rush and Hlosack and H arvey
were great doctors. but the greatest doc
tor the world ever saw is an old Chris
tian woman. Dear me! Do we not re
member her about the room when we
wvere sick in our boyhood? Was there
any one who could ever so touch a sore
without hurting it?
And when sihe lifted her spectacles
against her wrinkled forehead, so she
could lonok closer at tha wound, it was
Lord took her home. although you may c
have been men and women thirty. forty, u
fifty years of age, you lay on the collin a
lid and sobbed as though you were only i
five or ten years of age. 0, man, praise u
God if you have in your memory the u
picture of an honest, sympathetic, kind, t
self-saciflcing. Christian mother. 0. '1
it .takes these people who have had t
trouble to comfort others in trouble. t:
Where did Paul get the ink with which e
to write his comforting epistle? Where I:
did David get the ink to write his com
forting Psalms? Where did John get the
ink to write his comforting Revelations? u
They got it out of their own tears. When n
a m:an has gone through the curriculum, b
and has taken a course of dungeons anid p
imprisonments and shipwrecks, he is a
qualified for the work of sympathy. to
When I began to preach, my sermns u
on the subject of trculble were all poetic p
and in semi-blank verse: but God s
knocked the blank verse out of me long i
ago. and 1 have found that I can not
comfort people except as I myself have y
been troubled. God make me the son of u
consolation to the people. I would o
rather be the means of soothing one per- so
turbed spirit to-day. than to play a tune c
that would set all the sons of mirth u
reelina in the dance. I am a herb doc- e
tor. I put into the caldron the Root out
of dry ground without form or comeli
ness. Then I put in the Rose of Sharon
and the Lily of the Valley. Then I put
into the caldron some of the leaves of 'r
the Tree of Life, and the Uranch that
was thrown into the wilderness Marah.
Then I pour in the tears of Rethany and
Golgotha: then T stir them up. Then I a
kindle under the caldron a fire made out
of the wood of the cross. and one drop u
of that potion will cure the worst sick
ness that ever afflicted a human soul.
Mary and Martha shall receive their
Lazarus from the tomb. The damsel
shall rise. And on the darkness shall U
break the morning, and God will wipe l
all tears from their eyes. r
You know on a well spread table the
food becomes more delicate at the last.
I have fed you to-day with the bread of a
consolation. Let the table now be
cleared, and let us set on the chalice of
Heaven. Let the King's cup bearers
come in. Good morning. Heaven! ", n
says some critic in the audience, "the 0
Bible contradicts itself. It intimates h
again and again that there are to be no h
tears in Heaven, and if there be no tears 0
in Heaven how is it possible that God
will wipe any away?" I answer have
you never seen a child crying one no
ment and laughing the next: and while r
she was laughing you saw the tears still a
on her face? And perhaps you stopped y
her in the very midst of her resumed F
glee, and wiped off those delayed tears.
So, I think, after the heavenly raptures
have come upon us, there may be the a,
mark of some earthly grief, and while
those tears are glittering in the light of g
n
the jasper sea, God will wipe them away.
How well He can do that. a
Jesus had enough trial to make Him u
sympathetic with all trial. The shortest i
verse in the Bible tells the story: "Jesus r
wept." The scar on the back of eiiCher
hand, the scar on the arch of either foot h
the row of scars along the line of the 0
hair, will keep all Heaven thinking. 0. K
that great weeper is just the one to si
lence all earthly trouble, wipe out all
stains of earthly grief. Gentle: Why.
His step is softer than the step of the
dew. It will not be a tyrant bidding q
you to hush up your crying. It will be p
a father who will take you on His l',. it
arm, his face gleaming into yours, while a
with the soft tips of the fingers of the n
right hand He shall wipe away all tears p
from your eyes. I have noticed when the ti
children get hurt, and their mother is a
away from home, they always come to
me for comfort and sympathy: but I t<
have noticed that when the children get v,
hurt and their mother is at home they i
;o right past me and to her; I am of no se
account. k
So, wlhn the soul comes up into ,
Heaven out of the wounds of this life, it ~
will not stop to look for Paul. or NIoses- rn
or David, or John. These did very well a
once. hut now the soul shall rush past,.3
rying: "Where is Jestis? Whereisy
Jesus?" Dear Lord, what a magnificenty
thing to die if 'Thou shalt thus wipe away
our tears. Methinks it will take us some
time to get used to lleaven; the fruits of w
God without one speck: the fresh pas- ft
tures without one nettle; the orchestra al
without one snapped string; the river of oj
gladness without one torn bank; the V
solferinos and the saffron of sunrise and w~
sunset swallowed up the eternal day be
that beams from God's countenance. it
Why should I wish to linger in the wild.

Still, if we could get any appreciation o
of what God has in reserve for us, it
would make us so homesick we would be
unfit for our every day work. Professor h)
Leonard. formerly of Iowa University, y

stone thro'wn oRi from some other world

And I have to tell you the best repre

Together!
I never appreciated that thought so
much as when we laid away in her last
slumber my sister Rrah. Standing
there in the village cemetery. I looked t4
around and said: "There is father, u
there is mnother, there is grandfather, v
there is grandmiother, there are whole il:
circles of kindred:" and I thought to my- ~
self. "Together in the grave-together
in glory." I am so impressed with the
thought that I do not think it is any
fanatiim when some one is going from
this world to the next if you make them C
the bearer of dispatches to your friends a~
who are gone. saying: "Give my love to 14
my parents. giveu my love to my chil- C
dren. give my love to my old comrades :d
who are in glory and tell them I am try-.
ing to light the good fight of faith, and I
will join thiem after a while." : 1
I believe the message will be deliv-I

adnt as of thuose who are beforce the I

calendar wvhen all the years of your
e'arthiy existence are swallowed tip inthie
eternal year of God!
My friends, take this good cheer home C
with you. These tears of bereavement I
that course your cheek, and of persecu- 1b
tion, and of trial. are not always to be e
there. The motherly hand of God will d

he Almost Universaml Disposition to Ap
propriate Umbrellas.
In my opinion there is no moral phe
oienon in the universe more inscrut
>e than the disposition-I had almost
id the universal disposition-to steal
mnlbrellas. If I should say that the
ost honest person that ever lived, or,
>r that matter, the most devoutly pious
arson that ever lived would steal an
mbrella if he had a good chance, I would,
erhaps. put it too strongly. But, just
"t me give one instance from a full
,pertoire of adventures with my um
rella. A week ago I came into my
nctum with my umbrella, which was
good one, in my hand, and set it
p in the corner of the room. An
our later a very respectable gentle
in. who brought no umbrella called
1 me, and. after transacting his
uiness, took his departure. A
alf hour later he came back somewhat
it of breath and remarked: "Oh! Ileft
v umbrella," and, snatching my um
ella from the corner, was making his
ay rapidly toward the door, when I ar
isted hini by calling out: "Are you
ire you left your umbrella here?" "Oh!
es, yes," he said, still going. "But are
iu sure that that one is yours?" I added,
ith much an:iety. "Oh! my, yes," he
Lid, glancing at it carelessly, and still
aproaching the door. "But," I said,
are you sure that that is your name en
raved on the handle?" Never was a
an more abashed. He glanced timidly
the metal plate on the handle of the
mbrella, with my name engraved on it
full, and then, putting it down hur
edly in the first place he came to where
would stand up, disappeared int.> the
all. I am still waiting for his al-ology
explanation, but not with any h ipe of
?tting it. Such is human nat ire.

A BLOODY ENCOUNTER.
Between Two Colored Men, in Which One
is Killed.
A bloody encounter took place last
Friday morning at the farm of HI. L.
Allen's, two and one-half miks from
Langley. between two colored men, In
which a pocket knife and pistol played
important parts, and both got in some
effectual work. A gentleman from
Langley has given us the following in
formation:
It appears that there was a corn
shucking at Mr. Allen's on Wednesday
night which Henry Williams (or Toole)
and Jim Smith attebded, and during
the evening they got into a difficulty
while under the influence of whiskey.
After they were separated, so our in
formant states, Smith told Williams
that he would see him again and
he prepared for him. They met
the next morning and made friends.
The following morning, Friday, the
1st, when Williams went out to the sta
ble to feed the horses, he found Smith
waiting at the stable door for him. As
he (Williams) walked up, emithi said:
"Now, I anm ready for you," and com
mened tirin~g, shooting four times. The
first shot missed, but the other three
took effect, two in Williams's abdomen
and the third struck a tinger of one of
his hands. Williams closed in on Smith,
and jamming him up against the stable.
cut him with a pocket knife about thet
nek and stabbed him in thie side. Mr.
Allen, who had not yet got ou. of bed,
on hearing of the difficulty ran out, uin
dressed, and separated the combatants.
Williams sank down while Mr. Allen
held on to Smith, and after dressing
himself had him sent to jail, where he
now lies. His wounds, although seri
ous, are not necessarily fatal. Williams
lingred until Sunday, when he died.

A Notable Trio.
A trio of noted Confederate Briga
diers, says the New York Sun, walked
up Pennsylvania avenue this afternoon.
They attracted much attention, even
from passers-by who did not recognmze
them. Three finer physical specimens
have seldom, if ever been seen on the
avenue, famous for its promnenade-rs.
Th~se three handsome men were Senator
Butler, General Rosser of Virginia, the
friend and classmate of the picturesque
Custer, and General Field, the ex-door
keeper of the House of Representatives,
now a resident of Washington. General
Butler, although a large man, was the
smallest of the distinguished party.
Rosser was head and shoulders above
him, and Field could easily look over
the top of the fiery Senator's hat. Each
of these noted men is an Apollo, straight
as an arrow, and with features as at
tracive as his form. Rosser anid Field
are free from wounds or physical ail
ment of any sort, and Butler so artfully
concealed the loss o. a leg that, as the
party strolled along lhe appeared as
sound in wind and limb as his compan
i ms. General Rosser has been here for
two days and has not yet given rein to
his nimble tongue.

BRIGHAM YOUNG'S WIDOWS.
Ann Eliza Recounts Recollections of the
Household of Which She Was Formerly
the Nineteenth Fraction.
A reporter of the Chicago 2Ymes re
cently made the acquaintance of the one
tiime famous "-Ann Eliza," the nine
teenth wife of Brigham Young. She is
now happily married and living in a
pleasant home in Chicago. In conver
sation with the reporter she displayed
photographs of several of the Mesdhimes
Young and chatted familiarly about
them.
The original of one picture-Miss
Amelia Folsom--was his favorite wife.
She was quite a beauty, with light hair
and blue eves and a sweet and kissable
mouth. She refused to marry Young at
first, but yielded when he promised to
make her a queen in heaven. She was
married to him on the 23rd of January,
1863, six months after the anti-poly
gamy law had boen passed by Congress,
and she did it openly and in (lefiance of
the law.
"She has a temper of her own," said
Ann Eliza, "and gave Brigham the ben
efit of it, too. I once heard her threaten
to 'thrash' Brigham if he did not do a
certain thing, and it may be recorded
that he did it. She never had any chil
dren.
"Miss Eliza R. Snow, the Mormon
poetess, was at one time the most noted
of all Brigham's wives. She wrote hymns
for all occasions, and nearly all of her
poetry was of a deep religious sentiment.
She was rather plain looking, but was
perhaps the most intellectual of theta
all. 1 think she was the sixteenth wife
that Brigham had scaled to him. She
was only a "proxy" wife, and will be
long to Joseph Smith in eternity.
"What is a 'proxy' wife? Why, the
Mormon religion teaches that the more
children a man has tne higher he and his
wives and children will be in the next
world. So a Mormon will have a wife
for 'time and eternity' as well as one
who is his simply 'for time.' The latter
will become the wife of some one else
when the next world is reached. Thus
Miss Snow wall be Joseph Smith's wife
in heaven, and all of her children will
go to increase his kingdom and help to
cover him with honor.
"The only other picture I have of any
Mrs. Young is that of Zina D. Hunting
ton, formerly the wife of a man named
Henry Jacobs, who was at ore time a
Mormon. She was not handsome, but
she was a very noble woman, and spent
her life in the service of her ungrateful
husband and ;her ;still more ungrateful
Church. She was for a long time the
physician and nurse for the household.
She was a devout believer. She was
large and line looking, but her face had
an exoression of sadness about it that
shoved she was weary of the world.
"Among the more interesting facts
connected with Brigham's wives I might
mention that almost all of them were
dark and they were all Americans but
two.
'-The oddest of his marriages? Well,
to tell the truth, they were all odd
enough. but perhaps the queerest was
his marriage with Mrs. Lewis. She
owned a piece of land through which
Brigham wanted to run a watercourse
to supply one of his mills. She refused
to allow him the privilege, so be mar
ried her and thus secured passession of
the whole property. She was the last
one that he married, and he did not
openly acknowledge her, but requzted
her to keep it a secret, probably for the
reason that he was ashamed of her.

years ago, I have become quite domestic

commercial tourist of the tirst water and
has traveled for W. R. Belknap & Co.
of Leadvilie for many years. He has
just resigned to become general man
ager, secretary and treasurer of an Ari
zona mining company in which a syndi
ate of prominent Ken tuckians are in
terested. Joe is a wonderfully energetic
fellow, of diminutive figure, black beard
and hair and bristly eyebrows that meet
above a prominent nose. He always
wears a Prince Albert coat' and does not
look like a traveling man. He is a very
qmuek talker, with a familiar, jerky way
of bringing out his syllables that once
heard is never forgotten. He is, with
all his romancing, a hard working mem
ier of the Baptist Church and a clevet*

"Doing" Europe.
A story that would be ludicrous but
for the disgust that an American must
feel unon readling it, is going the rounds
of two young men from a Western State
who are doing Europe. Not that they
had the remotest idea of gaining any
benefit from the trip or that they really
saw aiiythimg worth looking at the
secod time, for the paintings in the
Louvre and the galleries of the Luxem
botrg wvere3 no more to them than
ehromos given awvay with packages of
por tea. They cotild not understand
even "y'he Last Supper."
An intelligent New Yorker took them
in hand and every nmorning arose early
andl laidl out a route for the day, but the
expoition made them tired and they
saw in the Champs Elysees only a place
in which to sit do sn and talk oser
their comrades at home. The New
Yrker finally lost pa~tientce and said
that lie was tired of hurling the glories
of France agaLinst the "jellyv-fish souls

EURDERED BY INDIAN CONVICTS. J r
How Sheriff Reynolds and His Two
Assistants Were Killed.
FLORENCE. An., Nov. 3.-The follow
ing details have been received of the a
killing of Sheriff Reynolds and two as
sistants by convicts, whom they were
taking to Yama penitentiary yesterday.
The prisoners con.sited of eight Apache
Indians and one Mexicau. The Sheriff
had removed the shackles from the legs
of six of the Indians, before they
started to walk up the grade near River
side, but they were handcuffed together !
in sets of two. Sheriff Reynolds was in 1
front of the column and Deputy Holmes f
and the Mexican prisoner were in the 1
rear.
At a signal from one of the Indians
the Sneriff was seized by the two im- C
mediately back of him, while the two
immediately in front or the deputy S
wheeled about and secured his gun, with I
which, after killing him, they shot the
Sheriff, who was being held by their I
companions. During the melee the
Mexican prisoner ran forward to the
stage, which was about forty yards to
the front, and warned the driver, Mid
dleton. The latter drew his pistol, but t
was shot twice by the Indians.
After securing the keys to the shackles
and removing them the Indians muti
lated the body of Reynolds by crushing 3
in the skull in a horrible manner. They
then disappeared. Middleton, after
recovering sufficiently, walked back to
Riverside and gave the alarm. The
Mexican prisoner, after he had warned
Middleton, ran towards the hills. He I
was fired at several times, but not hit. C
After the Indians had left he secured a
horse and rode into Florence and g:c
himself up.
It is thought that as the Sheriff of
Pinal County and his Florence posse are
nine hours behind the murderers, there
is but little prospect of capturing them. I
A dispatch from Tucson says troops
have been ordered out from Apache,
San Carlos, Fort McDowell and Lowell
to intercept the murderers if possible.
Secretary Rusk's Report.
The annual report of the Secretary of
Agriculture, the first issued under the
newly-constructed department, reviews
the past work and suggests new features
in connection with the reorganization f
of the department. The new division,
which furnishes promptly to the press a
synopsis of the main points of every
bulletin and report, virtually covers the
whole field, "for," the Secretary adds, t
"the farmer who does not need some
paper devoted to his calling is beyond .
the reach of intelligent effort in his be
half." The result of the investigations
of the rapid development of agriculture
in the Rocky Mountain districts will
surorise the Eastern States with new
views of the wealth and progress of the f
great American desert of the recent b
past. The sugar industry has in some b
cases yielded well and in other cases
proved disappointing. Sorghum is a sue- h
cess in Central Kansas. Experimental
ork devoted to the development of a t
productive grass for the Southern States. a
Special investigations re being made
into 't6e ' t: i ' ...ir -
ramie and other fibres. The Secretary
recommends that three hundred acres
of the Arlington estate be set apart for
the testing of new varieties of fruits and
other experimental work. A supply of Ii
fine varieties of Mediterranean wheat a
and also of Bermuda grass seed have
been ordered from Europe, the latter ,
being designed specially for the South
ern States. The Secretary says the h
brary aind museum of the dlepartment u
could be put on a creditable footing.
The department received and answered n
nearly 40,000 letters of inquiry in the
ine months ended October 30. Agri- t
cultural organizations, and pa.ticularly
farmers' institutes, are referred to as
strong evidences of the growth of the
spirit of self-help among farmers, and
the Secretary is in favor of aiding them.
Pleuro-pnmonia is under control, being C
restricted to King's and Queen's Counties g
in New York State, to New Jersey, h
and a limited section in each of t
the States of Pennsylvania and Ma
ryland, and the Secretary has the i
most sanguine hopes of the proximate ~
omplete eradication of the disease.
Texas fever is generally spread through ri
the channels of Inter-State Commerce,
and therefore, can only be controlled by a
the Federal government, for wvhich leg- b
islation is necessary. The Secretary tI
pointedly and vigorously advocates a
national meat inspection law. The dis- c
ease experiment station should be moved n
to the Arlington estate and thoroughly a
quipped. A geries ot wvorks on anmmal
iseases is promised. The dairy inter
est is to have a special division devoted
to -it. Poultry is also to receive more
attention from the department. As to
wool-growing,' the Secretary deplores
the reduction of the tariff in 1883. To
it is attributed the great reduction in
the number of sheep, which has since
then fallen off by about seven million tI
ead, while the importation of wool tI
has increased from 78,350,671 pounds 0
in 1864 to 126,487,729 pounds 0
the past year. "On behalf of thisY
industry," says the Secretary, "I b
recommend these facts to you, and 1
should they be submitted to Congress I 1'
ask for them intelligent and eareful con- ti
deration." In conclusion the Secre- cl
tary shows that agriculture in this coun- 1
try produces an annual yield of nearly n
four thousand million dollars, employ- 1
ing on the five million farms ten ~million S
persons, representing a population of tI
thirty million people, while the value of 0
ie stock alone is estimated at $-2,507, -si
000,000. Referring to agricultural de- a
pression, the Seer'tary insists that the y
farmer is entitled to the fullest cnjoy- P
men, compatible with the rights of his 0
fellow-citizens, of the benefit of his pro- ~
tective system. For all such articles as 2
our own'soil can produce, the farmecr b
justly asks the protection which w-ill a
insure to hita all the benefits of our
oe market. The report concludes: ~
"The great nations of Europe strain ti
every nerve to make science the hanud- P
maid of war. Let it b2 the glory of the "
American peop~le to make scienes the
handmaid of agriculture."
