WHEN SAINTS ENTERED UTAH
July 24 Has Been Known as “Pioneat :
Day” Since the Founding of
Salt Lake City.
Brigham Young, leading a company
of Mormons numbering 147, of whom
all, excepting two women and the same
number of children, were men, entered
Great Salt Lake valley and founded
Utah, at Salt Lake City, July 24, 1847.
On the previous day the founder, re
clining in Apostle Woodruff’s carriage,
sick with mountain fever, caught the :
first glimpse of the valley from the !
summit of the mountain.
“Enough,” he said, “this is the right
place; drive on.”
Since this entry into the promised
land the day has been called Pioneer
day. Under the control and guidance
of Brigham Young the work was begun
that converted a wilderness, where it
was predicted that not an ear of corn
could grow, into one of the most fruit-
ful garden places of the world. About
three years after this the territory of
Utah was organized, with Young as
governor. Some feeling of ill-will grew
up between the non-Mormon members
of the government and the Mormons.
Outside of Utah. opposition to Mor- |
monism was greatly increased by
Young’s publication in 1852 of Smith's
“revelation” on the eternity of the
marriage covenant, including plurality
of wives.
According to official estimates there
are about 400,000 Latter Day Saints,
mostly in Utah. .
SHOULD REFER TO THE PAST
Word “Experience” ls One That Is Fre-
quently Misused Even by
Writers of Note.
The meaning and uses of the word
experience is discussed in this man-
ner by Archbishop Whately in his well-
known work, “Elements of Logic”:
“This word (experience), in its strict
sense applies to what has occurred
within a person’s own knowledge. Ex-
perience in this sense, of course, re-
lates to the past alone. Thus it is
that a man knows by experience what
sufferings he has undergone in some
disease; or, what height the tide reach-
ed at a certain time and place.
“More frequently the word is used
to denote judgment which is derived
from experience in the primary sense,
by reasoning from that, in combina-
tion. Thus a man may assert, on the
ground of experience, that the tide
may always be expected, under such
circumstances, to rise to such a height.
Strictly speaking, this cannot be
known by experience. but is a con-
clusion derived from experience and
other data. It is in this sense only
that experience can be applied to the
future, or, which comes to the same
thing, to any general fact.”
Queer Burial Custor.
Among the Indians of Alaska liv- |
ing along the rock-bound coast of the
Bering sea many old customs prevail,
and it is still believed that when a
man dies he must pass forward
through four successive stages before
he reaches heaven. Thus his mourn-
ers and family must spend four days
and nights in chanting songs or tell
ing of his virtues and must eat only
the foods of which he was fond. At’
the end of that time the body of the
dead man is wrapped into a bundle
and is hauled up through the roof
by strong ropes that the corpse may
not pass through any door used by
the living. Gremation follows and the
ashes are put into a bag and stored in
the great wooden chests which fill
the family “grave house.”
In the old days these ceremonies of
those four days were very elaborate,
and the songs and chants used strik-
ing in their solemnity. Now, how-
ever, much has been modernized, but
they still dislike the thought of en-
tering a door through which a body
has been carried.
Great American Tragedienne.
One of the greatest tragediennes of
the last century, Charlotte Saunders
Cushman, died in Boston nearly half
a century ago, leaving behind her one
of the most inspiring and splendid
memories in all the history of the
stage. Miss Cushman was born in
Boston July 23, 1816. Her early am-
bition was musical, and she was just
at the beginning of a successful oper-
atic career when her voice failed. Her
loss to music was a gain to the drama.
She first appeared as Lady Macbeth in
New Orleans, and soon gained rank in
England and America as the foremost
actress of the English-speaking world.
Forty-five years ago the great actress
began her farewell tour of America,
and on a day in May, 1875, an audi-
ence that filled the Globe theater in
Bosfon saw Charlotte Cushman’s last
appearance on the stage. She died in
less than a year afterward.
Palmerston.
In the first place, it was always as-
serted, with emphasis and even with
acrimony, that he (Palmerston) was
not a whig. Gladstone, who did not
much like whiggery, though he often
used whigsp laid it down’ that “to be a
whig a man must be a bern whig”
and I believe that the doctrine is abso-
lutely sound. But Palmerston was
born and bred a tory, and from 1807
to, 1830 held office in tory administra-
tions. The remaining 35 years of his
life he spent, for the most part; in
whig administrations, but a whig he
was not. The one thing in the world
which he loved supremely was power,
and, as long as this was se-
cared, he did not trouble hilnself much
about the political complexion of his
associates.~—G. W. E: Russell.
