Show the Jews jui outside of the walls of, Jerusalem. There is rapt, earn-- 1 estness, and lofty dignity in the countenance of the speaker, while the crowd who lounge about, carry- - ing in their various faces, the scof-fing or worldly indifference that be- - longs to their class and prejudices. No. 2. Leaving Jerusalem, is an exquisite piece of landscape paint-ing, while the figures are in every respect in harmony with their race, and the age in which they lived. Nephi walks in front with his bow and arrow. Sam walks by his side leading the camels; and father Lehi is seen a little to one side prepar-ing to wade oyer the brook; while I .gin an and Lemuel ride behind. On the back of the camel led by Sam is a curious hurdle and through the opening in it, are seen Sari and her children. I No. 3 Has been changed since j the set of pictures were painted, and will appear in the scries of charts as Nephi coming out of Jerusalem clad in I.aban's armor, and followed by Zorum who carries the precious plates. Just there he meets his prethren and their mutual misappre-hensions and fear, will give room for some interesting painting, j No. 4 Is a very etherial scene, (representing Nephi's Vision of the Virgin Mary and the Savior-Chil-sunounded with a halo of light, and shown him by the angel, who is seen standing by his side. No. 5. Is another charming square of oriental desert landscape. The figures represent the rinding of the j compass by Lehi, and Nephi as if drawn by the great importance of the discovery coming toward him. The river Lemual and the Red Sea are seen in the background. No. 6. Represents the "building of the ship, the bare ribs of which are to be seen in the background. Marks of age on the prominent char-acters, increased numbers of the pil-grims and other signs show the elapse of time, most harmoniously. The turbulent spirit of the fault finder who afterwards plants such discord is here plainly shown in the attitude of Laban. No. 7. Shows the first sacrifice or burnt offering after landing in the new Country. The whole company kneel about a rude stone altar on which the sacrfice is burning. The smoke rolls through the green boughs of the trees near them, mingling its upper stratas of dimness with the grandeur of the Andes Mountains. One touch of humali nature in the solemn scene is a half naked cherub making frantic efforts to escape from its mother's detaining hand. No. 8. Shows Lehi bent with age, blessing his posterity, in the midst of his assembled kindred- - Their surroundings are rude and quaint in design, making a very in- - this sketch is most excellent and the likeness between the various faces and what they were in the other pictures, are carried out with re-markable fidelity, and due regard for the passage of time. No. q. (After Lehi's death) Shows the separation. The follow-ers of Nephi winding around by lake Titecaca, and traveling by moonlight. Nephi girded with the sword of Laban, and his hand on it ready for defense, leads the cara-van. In front is, a stout guard, next gome the women and children, and large droves of Lamas, laden with luggage; following these are the rest of the men, who form the rear guard. The pale moonlight and spectral shadows are admirably portrayed. No. 10. The travelers at their journey's end, The beginning of the building of the Temple is to be seen, and workmen at work upon raw material. Nephi grown to mid-dle age is superintending the build-ing. The Andes in the background of this picture are magnificent. No. 11. Nephi making the plates on which he afterward engraved the interesting records which bears his name in the Book of Mormon. The great prophet and colonizer is here seen in the humble occupation of using hammer and anvil in forging the golden plates, that thousands of years afterward should form such an important part in the last dispensa-tion. His ever true and faithful brother Sam is standing by watch-ing the work going on, seemingly with great interest; while a mother siting outside her r!ottage, has all she can do to, keep her child from get-ting hold of the glittering plates, that are ready and standing against the anvil. The landscape is a lovely Temple on the scene of rural tran-quility, and the hill in the back-ground gives to tho beholder at a glance an insight into the civilization and progressive spirit possessed by the ancient Nephites. SAN PETE TAKES THE PRIZE. The Register takes great pleasure in announcing to the many friends ofC. C. A. Christensen that that gentleman's set of pictures illustra-tiv- j of the Book of Mormon, have been accepted. This talented artist was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov., 28th 13.31. His parents were very poor, and his mother who was a remark-able gifted woman, although un-educated, was of a refined nature, and desiring to keep her children from seeking the companionship of dow and vicious children with whom their poor home was surrounded) she used her artistic gifts to occupy and amuse them. Before the lad could draw a line, or name a tint he could fashion with a pair of scissors a wonderful number of life-lik- e outlines of beast, bird, and fish; as well as inanimate objects. During the winter festivities, when in his 14th year, he cut a nunber of these objects as Christmas-tre- e They attracted a great deal of att-ention, going from circle to circle pf society, and meeting more appre-ciation from the cultivated, if pos-sible, than was elicited from his friend-;- . Finally the pastboards were plac-ed in the hands of no less a person-age than the widow of Admiral Brown, of the Danish Navy. One of her ladies in waiting, who was her.;elf an artist, was so enthu-siastic in her praise of the talent displayed in the objects, that the no-ble lady determines! that he aliould have all the advantages, that a col-legiate education, and a higher walk ' in life would give him. Jie was accordingly placed at school, where he did justice to the expectations of his wealthy friends. When the drudgery of perliminary education had been mastered, and the boy had reached his 19th year the gospel found him, and on the , altar, of a pure conviction be aid his ' brilliant worldly prospects. For several years he preached the gospel, coming to Utah in 1857. He has known the privation, and hardships of a new country the heartsick longings for the artistic Xorjc and beauty for which he was. adapted both by nature and educa-tion, but he has never faltered in his devotion to the cause of Christ, or regretted the sacrifice he had made. The hand that can roll back the curtain of heaven, and make the human countenance speak the lan-guage of the passions, was put. to the a,x and pluw. It was years after he came-- into. Utah before he again saw paint and brushes, and then as a sign painter at Camp Douglass, he pick-ed up the broken threads of his art. He also painted scenery for the famp theatricales, and was variously employed in the line of his profes-sic- n for about two years; but find-ing thi life at the barracks one he could not endnrCjhe left it, removing some time after to Ml. Pleasant, later he spent several winters paint-ing scenery for the Salt Lake Theatre mder William Morris, and has since taken lvo medals at our Territorial fairs. ,': For ten years a, resident of Mt. Pleasant, and twenty yeajrs, a citi-zen of Ephraim, San Pete County can very justly claim this talented ni?ii as herojwn. The series 0 pictures which call forth this brief sketch are the. same that have once before been mention-ed in the columns of the Register a,s Jubilee decorations. j In this neyir and untried field re-quiring deep research into ancient history, costume, habits, customs and surroundings, Mr. Christensen ha acheived a grand success, and ill San Pete with the Register at its scad warmly congratulates.

Frantzen, Ephraim, lah. lowed to vote at the polls, it would have a tendency to refine those places just as woman's influence elevates aud refines every sphere of life with which she comes in con-tact. And it is safe to say there would not be so much corruption among them as exists today among the voting population, for they are more conscientious then men. If the places of trust throughout the country were filled by women, there would not be so many Amer-icans on the other side of the Cana-dian line with their pockets full of stolen caih. "l!ut," says one, "suppose a wo-man should be elected to an office for which she was not qualified physically or intellectually, would not that be a folly for which we would all be responsible." Certainly, to the same extent that we are responsible for the many fol-lies around us at pre-n- t. Look on Lvery side of you and see men holding positions in all the affairs of life, political, ecclesiastical, financial, and social positions, who are no more fit for them than their wife and daughters. But aside from what women are permitted to do, is the great question of what God intended them to do. I have heard men say, "Cod intend-ed man to be first because he creat-ed him first." Did Hod intend the animals to have dominion over man because he created them first?" No. Woman was God's last and most glorious work, created to be the crowning glory of man's life, his companion, his helpmate, to be his equal, to stand by his side; therefore was she taken from his side. Not to be trampled upon, else she hail been taken from his feet. Nor did Cod endow her with less intellect than man. If they are so, it is be-cause of the barbarons notions and traditions of this and preceding ages, fiom which I regret to say we are not yet free, that women had no need of education. Why should not the daughter be given an equal chance in life with the son? Why should she not be given the same wages for doing the same work? Why not prepare the girl to bat-tle with the world, and open to her all theaenues of livlihood, that she may maintain herself and children should she become a widow. It seems strange that the statesman should think that his mother, sister, or wife should not have sense enough to vote intelligently, but that all the brains of the family are car-ried about under his own hat; and that the most accomplished and refined of the gentler sex cannot be trusted with the franchise, while the most degraded of the opposite sex "Boss" that will put up the most whiskey. She is just as amenablt to the law as he, she may have property worth millions of dollars, and is obliged to pay the taxes thereon, but can have no voice as to who shall handle those taxes. But he, although he may not pay more than a nominal tax, designates by his vote who shall make the laws, and who enforce them; and the wo-men are made to pay the burden of the expenses. In savage tribes, the woman are the drudges, doing U the manual labor, th-- j men doing the hunting and fishing. I hold that the degree of civilza-tio- n a nation has attained is deter-mined by the estimation in which it holds a woman. When we make woman our equal in all the functions of life, we will have reached that point in civiliza-tion where we can consistently ask to give more thought to the culti-vation of the mind and less to the adorning of the body. Napoleon, when asked when the training of a child should begin, answered "A hundred years before it is born." Is it not time then to accord woman the place so long and wrong-fully denied her, that future gener-ators may be brought up to that standard of civilization that shall mark a new epoch in the; history of the world? Whenever woman is given the franchise we will get a purer class of voters. When she is made the equal of man politically she will have something to stir her ambition to become his equal intel-lectually, and when we get a purer and more intelligent class of voters we will have a cleaner and more efficient class of officials. W. D. Candland. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. Written for the Rkoistbk. This is one of the important questions that government will have V meet and adjust in the near future. The wave seems to have struck San Pete at last, and the bat-tle cry of the female population of the County is Woman's Rights. There are some, doubtless, who if asked what rights they want other than those they have, would answer, "We don't know what they are ex-actly, but we want them, just the same." So there are men who do not know whether they favor Democracy or Republicanism because they cannot distinguish the differance. But the great majority of the women cf this County are as in'ei-lk;en- t and worthy of the franchise 'as the men; and if women were al- - The Two Tickets.
