Show v ' residence of Mrt.' Marian It. Pratt, ; The after noon was spent In cheerful social converse, and, about sir o'clockApostle Orson Pratt and seventeen ladies sat down to dinner. The conversation at the table was' a spiritual feast. Brother Pratt referred to his early History in the Church nti to many wonderful events of that period, with which several of the elderly ladies were conversant. After dinner the conversation continued in much the same strain. Later in the evening Bister E. A- - Whitney ang a song of Zion, and Sister Zina D. Young gave the interr , pretation. It was a psalm of praise and rejoicing. Miss Kintha Pratt sang one or two charming little melodies, and Willard Weihe and several other; musicians played a few choice pieces in a lively manner. There were six instruments, and the effect of the music was inspiring. The musicians went out upon the lawn, and the effect was .more delightful still. Some of the young people were dancing on the lawn, by moonlight. It was indeed quite a temptation to one fond of this beautiful recreation.

And of the 'people are yet, Mr. President, one-ha- lf taxed without representation and governed Without consent. This goverumentis not a democracy, nor a republic. It is a government of one-haof the people by the other lialf, instead. It is an aristocracy of sex, wherein "one half of the citizens enjoy a monopoly bf the right and immunities which are denied to the other half. It is rot necessary, for me to insult the intelligence of an august Sehatq like thisitaimakei the explanation that the generic term mpij as applied to the inalienable rights of the. human family, includes women. rMen' are always willing to admit this fact when women's taxes are due, or when a woman breaks a law that all persons of her sex are denied a voice in making.
