portant events at salt lake city every thing which throws light upon the ways and manners of mormondom is of pecu liar interest all hough much has been written about the church of jesus christ of liitter day saints but very little information has b-en heretofore de rived from it of the manner in which the followers of brigham young worship in their immense world-renowned taberna cle ; and hence if is tlint the follow ing well written skefch by a correspon dent of the boston journal will be read wi'h interest : as llic sunday was spent in suit lake city was intensely warm we contented ouiself with one visit to the tabernable we went in the afternoon and hoped to hear a discourse from br'gham young for it was confidently expected that he would take ihal occasion to address the people upon his return after an absence of some weeks in au adjoining territory but this i was merely a matter of conjecture and 1 as it proved a false one it can never be known positively who is to be the speaker 1 at any one of the meetings till the person appointed takes his place iu the pulpit and as there is no established priesthood among them and any man is liable at any . lime to be called upon by the powers thai be to edify the congregation it mav hap pen tube the president of the church himself the vice president one of the twelve apostles or elders or a member ol the seventy lhat council of prominent men who are appointed to assist the high er authorities in their temporal aud spir itual labors of the external appearance of the build ing as shown in photographs and describ ed by travellers my readers are probably familiar this great egg shaped edifice wiih neither tower nor steeple to relieve its broad rounded roof stands within a large square and is shut in from the sur rounding streets by a high wall the same enclosure contains also the granite foundations of the temple and theie on week days we beheld men and oxen busily al work hauling in tlie massive stones and setting ihem iu their appointed plaees — these foundations hardly raised above the ground as \ et though they have been begun for eighteen years and there can in no lm k of resources for such purposes iiiiiniig a people ivhere the tenth of every man's income goes to the church for tith ing ii is expected that many years more will he consumed in its completion and t'taf it will far eclipse in solidity and splendor any other building in utah hul the work is never pushed forward wiih much vigor and often ceases altogether some of tin ir peoplo assert that whenever work is resumed upon lhe temple they are always sure to get into trouble and such will no doubt attribute ihe late spas modic ac:ion of llie u states authori ties in their midst to this cause i inquir ed of an intelligent jtlormou in what re spect the temple differed from the taber nacle and was told lhat while lhe latter serves lor a general assemb'y of the peo ple at their ordinary religious meetings the temple is intended for the convocation of elders bishops and other dignitaries iu tin ir church councils and is to be the plaee win re the " sealing ' of wives is to be solemnized and other special ceremo nies performed it stands on the same line as the tabernable and directly back of it so that the buildings will be up preached from opposite sides of the same square the tibcrnacle building may be a mar vel of architectural skill but both without and within it is wholly wanting in beauty ot finish or grace of proportion the roof we are told is tlie largest unsupported roof on lhe continent but it cannot satisfy the eye for it is neither oval nor round and lhe spring of its arch is not bold nor lofty enough to be majestic not a pillar breaks the vast concave space wii liin but it is studded with small wood en rings or knobs which fail utterly of edict and at lhe time we saw it it lacked all timing of paint or frescoes it covers however a vast number of people and this is the chief use which it was intend ed to serve the building was full when we entered it at three o'clock though the services had not yet begun we were led to a seat directly in front of the siage and looking back our eye swept the largest audience we had ever seen except that at our coliseum building during the height ofthe peace jubilee i'he seats rose at the farther end in a sort of sloping balco ny and tln-si were thronged with people and gay with the yellow and scarlet rib bons of mormon wives and daughters — judging by lhe display of cheap flashy millinery which that coup il nil revealed there is some reason for the frequent ti rades which brigham young is said to deliver to the mormon women ou their extravagance in dress and love of finery each individual woman as we passed her in ihe street on weeks days was arrayed in the sorriest and plainest of garbs ; lu that assemblage at the tabernacle certain ly looked like a vast flower bed in the i'riiii part of the houee where we sat the audience was composed mostly of men many of whom were evidently gentile b come like ouiself from motives of curi o.-it v the end of the building just before us was occupied by a stage live feet high ami extending across iis whole width — this was covered with men seated on ei ther side wiih their faces toward the three semi-circular pulpits or reading desks which rose one behind the other in the centre of the stage we had before us lhe elders the bishops the seventy and oilier leading members of the mormon church behind this elevated throng 1 towered the tall glittering pipes of the organ and at their base was grouped a choir of about thirty young men and wo men who led iu the singing the three desks were unoccupied and upon the middle one lay a large book supposed to be the mormon bible upou one side near the organ two bright looking young ladies were seated at a table and through out the services they were kepi busily a work reporting both prayer and discourse ; for every extemporaneous word spoken here must be taken down and preserved i i the church archives these are kept at the historians office where is to be seen also a large scrap bonk containing every known article that has been written upon their people and their customs in any land or language these are si n to ihem by their agents and missionaries both from this country aud emope and are retained for purposes best known to themselves one of these young ladies we saw wielding her pencil so rapidly at lhe tabernacle was a daughter of brigham young the services were opened by singing from the choir ; then lhe e was a prayer by an elder from the first pulpit not iid ticeable from those we hear at a metho prayer meeting except that it lacked fer vor and spirituality this was follow eil by another hymn meanwhile five of the bishops had taken their placi s behind a long table which stood before the stage and on which were set out ten silver tankards in a shining row exactly similar in pattern to any straight two ban lied sugar bowl on our gentile tables aud these were hanked on each end by five common porcelain water pitchers plates heaped up with bread were arranged be hind these they were making ready to distribute the sacred bread and water to llie thousands of devoted worshippers before them while the singing was iu progress these five bishops stood tearing ihe bread into small bits with their pudgy fingers but speaking no word until the work was accomplished then one lifted up his hands and blessed it and several young men came forward and bore it down through the long aisles this was followed by a similar blessing of the wa ter pitchers and a similar distribution of their contents from the gleaming tank ards and now the preacher had taken his place iu the middle desk aud he proved to be not brigham young as we had ex pected but george q gannon editor of deserct news the official church organ and a man who has probably no equal among ihem for scholarship and general intelligence he posseses a fine physical presence and speaks with distinct aud cultivated enunciation and ready delivery he had no text and the discourse was extemporaneous made up like most ol their sermons of the mormon people their cruel oppressions and the promises given them by their prophets that they should spread and multiply iill ihey absorbed all churches and ill peoples and their city become the centre ofthe whole world — then he spoke of pologamy and at the litis point lhe whole emigration mormons as well as strangers bent forward o lis ten with increased interest it was plain ly a theme vital enough with them to awaken them all horn their semi-somno lent state and to make the perky little elders before us withdraw their eyes irom the congregation und prick up their ears in expectation he related the way by which he first came to believe iu this doctrine as a just and proper one and the relation was in this w ise : the new doctrine of polygamy which was enforced upon the faithful in the year 18-13 by iheir special prophet joseph smith struck him at first singu lar for he was then living in the east and had not fully embraced the faith of the saints but this reflection came to him to relieve his doubts : brigham young had one wife who had died leaving him children and after her death he had mar ried again now we know f oin the bible he continued that families are to be reunited iu heaven and live happily together there i reflected that if his whole family were to meet again there and he was to have all his children about him he must of course have their moth ers also ; and if it is right for him to have two w ives at the same time in heaven it must certainly be right for him to have them upon earth just where this re-es tablishment relation is promised in the scriptures he did not inform us ; neither did he mention christ's declaration that in heaven there shall be neither marrying nor giving iu marriage as soon as this sermon or address was concluded a blessing was pronounced and the great audience dispersed just then brigham young was pointed out to us for the first time and wo saw a stout giant looking man rising from a seat in ihe middle of the stage where he had been hidden from our view during tbe service and disappeared in the crowd around him the square and streets were soon thronged with the crowd wending homeward sunday in salt lake city is by no means puritanical in i'.s strictness there is a great deal of riding about the streets and chatting on the sidewalks and in the

and stone by means of a jet of quartz sand blown through a pipe by steam at a pressure of 300 pounds to the square inch he can cut a hole in a solid block of corundum — only inferior to the diamond in hardness - in a few min utes the new process is now exciting great interest in europe an english journal thus speaks of it : this ameri can engineer just turns upon corundum a pipe which discharges silted sand mixed wiih a furious squirting of s earn and he 1'n ■ shower of panicles thus hung cuts a hole equal t.i the diameter of the jet the same effect is produced iu any thing else submitted to the process here has the world been grinding hammering chisel ing and whirling drills for centuries lo make holes and channels in obdurate sub stances when suddenly the friend of our youth the squirt — in a new lonn no doubt — comes io the rescue and for the future we shall see the work done by this irresistible jet of dust beating in ten mil lions of fairy raps upon the object thus effecting what is wished iu a tenth oflhe previous tin e and with exquisite precis ion but the clever discoverer of this new agent has found that so great a forire of steam is not necessary for liner work such as grinding or engraving glass — one may employ a blast of air for this purpose by means ol a rotary fan the tube is fed with sifted sand which the air-blast takes up and whirls against the glass it will thus completely dejiolish a surface moving past at the rate of five inches in a minute and the spent sand and i glass-dust can be perpetually returned and re-employed moreover by cover ing parts ot the glass with a stmielastie material such as_.a paper lace ca touch e or oil-paint designs nf any sort maybe engraved the panicles which eat off lhe hard lass or stone beat in vain upon the interposed medium ; and so curious is this resistance that even a green fern leaf miy be used and the sand shower wili consume all but the pans thus covered leaving a delicate pattern of the frond again in that kind of glass-work while a in et of one color is superimposed upon another ihe upper sheet may be partially protected by a paper stencil while the pans lift exposed are eaten or bitten away into lhe desired figures the film of bichromatized gelatine used for pho tograph negatives may also be thus uti lized lor producing an engraving ou glass or steel ; and hy a very simple arrange ment the jet can be rendered movable and be handled with an absolutely ar tistic freedom so effective indeed is this principle of minute myriad tappings upon any exposed surface that small leaden shot driven in the s nne manner wear a hole iu hardest quarts rock the exhibitor ol the new a^ent showed a sheet of glass which had been perforated by a sand jet under a covering of wire o-ause the glass was turned as it were into delicate squares of blond lace with meshes of one twelfth of an inch and threads of one-sixteenth a result unat tainable by any other process it may be added that lhe latest adaptation of ibis new invention is to a peculiar process ol replacing the art of wood engraving it eonsits in bringing upon a suitable mat rix a photograph copy of the drawing or engraving to be reproduced this is then passed beneath the sand-blast and the cutting is thus obtained the reverse en graving is then subjected to the electro type process and any desired number ol copies are

which a peculiar strength and odor is imparted to the product highly injurious to the health oflhe con sumtrs and certainly not creditable t those engaged iu its sale neither the noxious ingredients themselves nor the process of manufacture are known to many outside ibe ring but sufficient has leaked out to show the character of the men and their business sulphuric acid is blended with the mash or applied directly to the product of the stills which itupartsa disagreeable odor to the whisky and so powerlul is its effect upon it that it corrodes and eats up the inside of the barrels in which the fool compound w fcept another feature of this rot-gut sold under the name of whisky is that it can not by any way he extracted by any pro cess of distillation or rectification this fact has caused its presence to be traced in highwines purchased from the west by respectable distillers here and prompted them to shut down on the nefarious traf fic as injurious to life aud the interests of the trade by experiment it has becu tested that if a small piece of iron or copper is inserted into a barrel of whisky adulterated wiih this acid the entire mass will be instantly blackened and if lefl iu
