TRE MORMON’S SUNDAY.
A SABBATH SCHOOL AMONG THE
FOLLOWERS OF JOSEPH SMITH.
Ceremony of lllesning the Kread and
Preparing the Sacrament for the Chil-
dr«*i>*"llleMAl og the Water—»Serlpture
Heading Bible Stories Etc
I hove been to church twice today—in the
moruiig to n Mormon Hal >ba th school and in
the afternoon to the services in that turtle
like structure which is called the talwnacle.
What I saw and heat'd impressed me most
favorably regarding the strange people who
have found Zi«»n among the Wasatch Hlh
and w hose mission is multiplication and the
replenishment of the earth. 1 shall say noth-
ing further however concerning my impres-
sions. It will l>e l>est to tell my readers what
was said and done and from this simple state-
ment they can then draw their own conclu-
sions.
The Sabbath school began at 10 o'clock. It
was held in a long rectangular one xtcry
adobe building with plastered exterior walls
and commodious wings built and finished
with the same material. This is the Thir-
teenth Ward school and there are twenty
other similar buildings in Salt Like City.
They are called ward assembly balls and ere
used for meetings and Sunday classes. The
word wan I must not t>e accepted in its po-
litical senses. Bishop Mellen Atwood sat on
a long bench on a platform at the north end
of the liall. On car b side of him were W il-
liani Ni ylor superintendent of the school;
Nelson Empy the bishop’s first councilor;
Hamilton G. Parks Missionary Lyons and
two teachers. Before them wax a pulpit and
besido tbo pulpit on tbo right and left were
high flat top])cd desks covered with table
cloths and carrying several pieces of glisten-
ing silverware two water pitchers two or
throe cake baskets and a half d< zen goblets.
In tbo cake baskets were tiny cubes of bread
each less than a toothful. The room prob-
ably 70x30 feet in dimensions with a good
high ceiling neatly frescoed and p. eventing
tbe symbols of the church—the all seeing eye
and the bee hive—was filled with benches
and th re were occupied in the mid Ue space
by women and girls while the met and boys
sat at tbe Rides of the ball.
Home of the children were toddle w; most of
them from 6to 8 years of age. Among the
little girls in the first line just under tbe pul-
pit were two grandchildren of Brigham
Young—one a flaxen haired and sweet faced
creature of about 8 the other younger anil
darker and saucier in features but also a girl
All tbe little folks were prettily ami plainly
dressed the health was on their cheeks and
the gleams of happy Lornes in their eyes. Yet
some of their fathers were in the penitentiary
serving terms for polygamy and tbe fathers
of others were underground perhaps. By
underground Ido not mean dead. The term
is in common use here and is applied to the
Mormons who have been indicted and are in
biding from tbe authorities. Some of the
women were very old but the young women
were fresh as flowers blooming in a garden
and their charming toilets seemed to partake
of the modesty and reserve of the wearers.
There were wee bits of boys in one class and
there were sensible sober looking young men
from 18 to 24 years in another. More than n
dozen of tbe occupants of side benches seemed
to have reached tbe age of 40. There were
evidences in the general appearance of the as-
semblage of the thrift order and neatness for
which the Mormon people are remarkable.
The exercises opened with a prayer by the
superintendent in which he thanked God for
the privilege of spending another Sabbath to-
gether and asked new blessings at bis bands.
Then there was a hymn. One of tbe gentle-
men on tbe platform next recited a prayer
and a second hymn followed. Then Bishop
Atwood took the pulpit and told the
school that he was about to bless tbe bread
and prepare the sacrament He explained
the meaning of the communion and said the
bread was blessed and broken in commemo-
ration of the body of Christ. It was a grand
privilege to be jiermitted to partake of the
sacrament—a privilege that was granted only
to the true children of God. The few words
spoken by the bishop were simple and to the
point. Tbo tenderest child could understand
them. This explanation of the sacrament
is made every Sunday and tbe children are
each time told to take tbe bread with their
right hand and to be sure that the hand is
uncovered.
Immediately after the bishop said this to-
day the little ones began pulling off their
gloves and mitts. The bread was blessed
in u few words the Lord Ixing called ui>on
to sanctify it and to extend his sanctification
to tbe iKslies of those who received it. After
the blowing two small boys came forward
and taking the cake baskets passed them
along tbe seats. Every person in the building
•zeept the correspondent took one of the
cubes of bread and ate it. Some little
ones grablied up a cube and clapped it
into their mouths with a grin. Others dipped
their left hands into the basket but were
quickly corrected. One or two of the old
folks used their left bands. The sacrament
though wan impressively administered and
I do not think tbestatement made by Gentiles
will hold that tbe Mormon’s method of deal-
ing with the viaticum is sacrilegious. It does
look rather foolish to allow 6 year-old chil-
dren to partake of it but nearly every one of
tbe old people present to-day began to eat
tbe bl. Tsed bread in such assemblages as this
when they were youngsters and they do not
ap]>ear to have allowed familiarity to blunt
tneir appreciation of tbe sacred quality of
the proceeding. While tbe bread was being
passed around a sacralnental hymn written
by Eliza R. Snow tbe Mormon poetess now
aged 83 years was sung.
The next thing in order was blessing the
water. Missionary Lyon did this using the
same formula as that spoken in blessing the
bread. Bisbop Atwood hail explained in his
talk to tbe children that water is used instead
of wine because Joseph Smith bad the fact
revealed to him that wine was adulterated
and it was better to use pure water than bad
wine; after awhile when the people became
richer wine would lie used in tbe sacrament.
The water that was blessed was contained in
the silver pit hers. Goblets were fillet! and
passed around each Individual taking a sip.
“Beautiful Zion” was sung and after that
twenty minutes were devoted to reading les-
sons. The children went into obe room with
teachers—the young men into another. Tbe
ladies sat in their seats and read where they
were. The youngsters were told Bible stories.
The old folks read tbe Scriptures and tbe
young men who constituted what was called
the theological class read from the Book of
Mormon. In twenty minutes they reassem-
bled and the school sang.
Missionary Lyon commended the progress
which tbe school was making and told his
hearers to fear God and dp no evil. Then
Mr. Parks who is I believe a high priest
spoke tbe benediction asking tbe Lord to
bless the church and its children and its
officials and to send wisdom qud the light of
tbe Gospel into the hearts of those who were
oppressing the Church of Jesus Christ. This
ended the school exercises.—Salt Cor.

Under the Old Pine Tree.
The old pine tree at Dartmouth college has
been struck by lightning. There is a tradi-
tion that the Indians the first students in the
institution were wont to hold a meeting
around the foot of the tree on their gradua-
tion and smoke a parting pipe of peace. The
custom has been preserved and it is one of
the most interesting exercises of class day to
watch the graduates smoking clay pipes-—
many using tobacco for th© first time—and
at a signal throwing them at the base of the
tree and scrambling after tbe fragments.—

PICKETTS CHARGE.
EXTRACTS FROM THE ACCOUNT
GIVEN BY GEN. DEVEREAUX.
How the Nlo.tronth Mauachusctta and
tbo Tammany Regiment Behaved In One
of tile Most Trying Contest of the
W.r—At the Apex.
Suddenly a single guu from tbe enemy'*
lines broke the oppressive stillness. It was
plainly a signal. No sooner had its report
roused Ibe attention than every gun on Sem-
inary ridge opened in one grand salvo with
concentric fire on Gibbon’s division. The
shot from that signal gun struck Lieut.
Sherman S. Robinson of the Nineteenth
Massachusetts cutting his body nearly in
two killing him instantly. From this time
on for two hours the roaring of tbe cannon
and bursting of shells from both sides was so
incessant that the ear could not distinguish
individual explosions. It was one grand
raging clash of ceaseless sound.
The tiring of cannon ceased almost as sud-
denly as it began and Pickett’s splendid
division moved out to cross the interval be-
tween tbe two low lying ridges occupied by
tbo opposing armies on that magnificent
charge winch has extorted the admiration
unqualified of their foes must be ever mem-
orable in history and which won the position
aimed for but could not hold it. The story
of this grand effort has beeu many times re-
peated and 1 shall limit myself to the rela-
tion of what occurred after Pickett had
crossed the Emmetsburg pike and came
sweeping up the slope still carrying every-
thing before him as if borne forward by all
ruling fate. The knoll bearing the historic
Little Oak grove slopes off well toward the
south and east. From the left ot my liue
(two detached regiments of Hall’s brigade)
Col. Mallou and myself had a view which
compared a good deal ot tbe ground even
directly in front of that elevation.
Standing there looking on the grand array
of that majestic charge was it mere impulse
that stirred me to move forward my men
nearer yet to that "Single Line cf Blue I” Or
was it prompting from a higher source that
determined the action! One can only tell
when all secrets are unveiled. However it
was done. Plain it was that we could not es-
cape some p rt of the tragedy to follow. It
might be a desperate one and what was tbe
material upon which reliance must be placed
to meet and perform the duty I The Nine-
teenth Massachusetts had been trained from
tbe start in a discipline as stern as that of
Cromwell’s “Ironsides.’’ Nevertheless it had
never come within the range of my experi-
ence to know a body of troops where mutual
confidence ot officers and men existed in
higher degree.
Today the Nineteenth Massachusetts bos
with it the Forty-second New York Tam-
many’s contribution to the country’s cause.
In them was all the traditional fun anil fight
Paddy’s heritage which centuries of oppres-
sion cannot rob him of nor repress. They
were in excellent condition uuder the firm
rule of Mallon.
Col. Mallon and rayself could view the
whole scene standing up as we were and
were probably the only [arsons close enough
readily to distinguish all which occurred and
so entirely free from personal participation as
to be able intelligently to judge it. We see
that Webb cannot firmly hold his men against
the shock of that fierce charge though he
may throw himself with reckless courage in
front to face the storm and beg threaten and
command. Hall’s right overlapped has to
sag back with sullen fury swaying to the
rear from the pressure but swaying forward
again like ocean surges against a rock. This
creates disorder heightened by the men of
Harrow's brigade surging also in that direc-
tion apparently without orders or concert
but guided by some instinct of hurrying to
the rescue. Everything was iu confusion
regimental organization was lost ranks were
eight or ten deep pushiug swaying strug-
gling refusing to yield but almost impotent
for good. A great gap yawns immediately
between Webb and Hall. The entire width
of the Oak grove and for some distance to the
right is stripped of defense on our line. Every
gun on our front there is silenced. Wood-
ruff Cushing Brown Rorty and every other
commissioned officer almost w ithout excep-
tion of tho respective batteries is dead or
disabled and Gibbon badly wounded. Was
this devoted Second corps whoso proud boast
it was that it “never lost a gun or a color” to
succumb at lost!
“Mallon wo must move.” Just then a
headlong rush of horses’ feet spurred to the
utmost camo up tho hollow behind from tbe
direction of the Baltimore pike. I turned.
There looking the very embodiment of the
the god of war rode Hancock tbe "Superb.’’
I shouted as lie nearly trampled on my men
still lying down and as yet unseen by him.
He threw bis horse on bis haunches. “See”
I cried “their colors; they have broken
through. Let me get in there.” His charac-
teristic answer fitted time and place and be
shot like an arrow past my left toward Hall’s
struggling lines receiving in a few seconds
tbe wound that swept him from his saddle
and so nearly cost him his life. Meanwhile
Mallon springing from myside was instantly
with bis men and both regiments on tbe
double quick moved side by side to fill that
fearful gup.
Tbe two lines came together with a shock
which stopped both and caused a slight re-
bound. For several minutes they faced and
fired into each other at a distance (which I
carefully measured after the fight) a little
short of fifteen paces. Everything seemed
trembling in the balance. Whichever side
could geta motion forward must surely win.
Gen. Al xander S. Webb I couldn’t see. Just
then I felt rather than saw Hull as he ap-
peared at myside. “We are steady now”
he said. "Sure but we must move” I re-
plied. At the instant a man broke
through my lines and thrust a rebel
battle flag into my hand. He never said a
word and dJrted back. It was Corporal
Joseph H. De Castro one of my color bearers.
He bad knocked down a color bearer in tbe
enemy’s line with the staff of tbe Massachu-
setts state colors seized tbe failing flag and
dashed with it to me. Mallon had by this
time wrapped round tbe right ot the grove a
little. The opposing lines were standing as if
rooted dealing death into each other how
long it is impossible to say with exactness.
There they stood and wouldn’t move.
All of a sudden a strange resistless impulse
seemed to urge tbe Union men. I can com-
pare it only to a Titan’s stride. Our lines
seemed to actually leap forward. There was
at once an indescribable rush of thick hurry-
ing scenes. I held tbe blunted a;>ex of tbe re-
entering angle which was tbe appearance
made by our lines. A yelL A shout. My
fine seemed to open as if by magic. It was
not flight however. A flood of unarmed
defenseless men poured through. They
almost ian over me. The remnant of Pick-
ett's gallant men abandon that nearly in-
vincible charge and Gettysburg translated
reads “A Nation Saved.”—Magazine of
American History.
Internal revenue "Mixed Drinks."
When whisky rum gin or any of the
stuff known as “hard liquors’*are now re
ceived they are all mixed together and poured
into barrels. This destroys tbe distinctive
quality of each and makes a compound that
tbe hardest drinker would turn from in dis-
gust and whose rnell alone would make a
sober man see snakes. When about ten bar-
rels of this has accumulated the collector of
interna 1 revenue is notified and be sends one
of his officers to gauge the liquor and certify
to the proof and amount. Tbe officer also
sees personally to its delivery to the distillery
where it has been sold. For after the stuff
has been made unfit tor its original purpose
it may be made salable again in the form of
alcohol by being distilled. The purchaser
pays for it at the highest market price in pro-
portion to tbe amount of alcohol which it
contains as shown by tho internal revenue of-
ficer's certificate and which averages ninety-
six cents per gallon. W ines are served in tbo
same way.—Boston Advertiser.
