We are born into society, and we connot escape from it. It is God's ordination, and the human soul is fitted and adapted for society, which is necessary for it. The law, then, upon which society rests and is organized, is a Divine law, and this fact should never be lost sight of. While the eye is directed heavenward, divine inspiration may possess his soul and develope to perfection the Father's attributes that are within him, and thereby add glory and majesty to Him who is the great designer and organizer of all created things. TABERNACLE CONCERT. The appearance presented by the interior of the Tabernacle Feb. 27, was sublime. The vast sea of human faces which overspread the lower part of the great auditorium was an inspiring spectacle. The great choir with its 320 or more members, arranged with perfect regularity, was something to gladden the heart of the music lover. It is estimated that nearly 5000 people were present at the concert. Electric lights in profusion gave the place a midday brightness. In addition to this, the bright paint and fresh Kalsomining gave the scene a gala aspect. "The wife to the busband," another twelve apostles. A young man who piece by Evan Stephens was given by had commanded a regiment acted the Mrs. Maggie Hull. She sung it very role of Christ and, for the occasion, charmingly.

Mrs. Lizzie Thomas-Edwards sung "Thy Name" with splendid effect. The violin solo by W. E. Weihe, was something in the line of music that sent the audience into raptures of delight. He was accompanied by Prof. Krouse. He responded to the encore, and added to his laurels. Mrs. Agnes Olsen-Thomas gave a solo "Separation" with marked suc cess. The performance closed with "God of Israel" by Evan Stephens, when the vast audience filed its way out, to talk about the great musical treat it had, and to wish for a repetition of it in the near future. "THE HAND OF GOD." words was It was midnight, but peals of drunken laughter awoke the echoes in every nook and corner of the old house. Again and again the decanters were passed around, and the blasphemous mockery of the last supper went on. A Bibie was called for, and the young who officer impersonating the Savior turned to the New read Testament and aloud the solemn of Christ. The reading was interrupted now and then by some coarse jest or ribald laughter, while expressions like "Judas, pass the bottle," would excite the mirth of the drunken men to a point that completely drowned the voice of the reader. At the proper point in the reading, bread was passed around, and the wine was represented by glasses filled to the brim with brandy. "He that drinketh from the bottle A few days ago a man was found dead here in the gutter, writes the Birmingham (Ala.) correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Pronunciation of English. An awakening to the popular carelessness in the pronunciation of the native tongue is a recent phase of literary England that may well be appreciated by Americans accustomed to be puzzied over the tricks of speech of English lecturers, says the Boston Journal. The loss of the letter "h" from its proper position has long since been noticed. Now, the disappearance of the letter "r" is deplored. According to many good authorities, "in modern English the letter 'r' has become or is becoming, a silent sign, or at best a half vowel, in a large class of words." It is noticed that between "law" and "lore," "laud" and "lord" slowly throw the arms up in front and there is no difference of sound. The then at the sides.

Elder Andrew Jenson has handel us for publication the following clip ping from the Nauvoo Rustler of February 17, 1891: "Nauvoo's most widely known and distinguished citizen, Major L. C. Bidamon has gone to "that undiscovered world from whose bourne no traveler returns." Though expected, the announcement of his death cast a gloom over the face of our beautiful city. He died of old age at his residence, in the First Ward, last Wednesday morning (February 11, 1891). at 8 o'clock, after an illness of nearly three years. Deceased was a native of Virginia. He was born at Smithfield, that state, Jan. 16, 1806. He came to this city in 1846, and took part in the Mormon difficulties. He became widely known on account of his marriage to Emma Smith, the widow of Joseph Smith. They conducted the Mansion House, on the banks of the Mississippi, for a number of years, and it acquired quite a fame. His wife, Emma, whom he married December 23, 1847, died in 1879. A few years later he was married to Mrs. Abercrombie, whom he leaves with two children, Mrs. Gibson, of Chicago, and Chas. E. Bidamon, of this city, to mourn his death.

President Balmaceda surrounds himself with troops and the sentries around the municipal palace have been tripled, many additions having been made to the sentries elsewhere.

For the least indiscrete word a man may utter he is at once thrown into prison by the government. At present the prison is nearly full, there being over a hundred men of promin ence in jail. They are all charged with being partial to the insurrection. A DYNAMITE BOMB SANTIAGO, Chili, Jan. 19.-News for the first time has been received by the government that the three thousand men who had been sent from Valparaiso to Iquique and Santiago to fight the insurge ts at Coquimbo have been completely routed. The government lost in this engagement over two hundred men killed and as many more were wounded. The insurgents were all perfectly armed and had a plentiful supply of ammunition. The blockade of Iquique continues as strict as ever. The Admiral Cochrane is anchored with its broad side to the city while the Magallanes cruises outside of the harbor. No vessel is allowed to enter or leave and the inhabitants are beginning to grow uneasy about their food supply. SANTIAGO, Chili, Feb. 21.-The following dispatch from Coquimbo has been received at the department of war here: SANTIAGO, Jan. 23.-Alarming news has been received by telegraph from Iquique which the government will not make public, but it is understood the inhabitants are in very destitute circumstances. An attempt was made by the rebel troops to capture several of the land batteries which command the city but they were unsuccessful. As the several attempts made to break the blockade have been ineffectual, the government will now try to send water and food by land, protected by a strong guard. The rebels say they will stop all hazards, and therefore the government is still in doubt as to the possibility of this plan. this at The committee on permanent orga nization reported and recommended that the club have as officers a president, three vice-presidents, a secretary. treasurer and an executive committee to consist of the president and secretary and five other gentlemen. The report was adopted. Mr. Smith stated that in selecting a president a man should be chosen who had much experience in political campaigns. He named Judge H. P. Henderson. The vote was put and the gentleman elected. C. C. Richards was elected first vicepresident; J. D. Hurd second vicepresident; L. W. Shinn third vice president. H. H. Rolapp was elected secretary and J. M. Langsdorf treasurer. On motion of Mr Barton the chair named as a committee to select the executive committee, Messrs. J. B. Barton, D. D. Jones and H. H.

The Cochrane, Magallanes and Abato have come nearer town and at present are unloading powder and ammunition. The rebels have about two thousand well aimed men here and they are under the protection of the fleet's guns. Those guns which they have been unable to use they have spiked, removing all powder and ammunition on board the ships. A STRANGE FEATURE OF THE WAR is that the government is unable to obtain transports for its troops and ammunition as all the merchant ships are in favor of the rebels and refuse to serve the government.

He expressed himself vehemently on the situation, presenting some of the "villianies" of Republicanism and "virtues" of Democracy. He was frequently applauded. John Boyle was the last speaker, and the briefest, as well as one of the best. He gave a plain business-like exposi tion of his principles, giving his fealty in politics to the Democratic party.
