There are in tho collec-tion u number of eases containing beau-tiful specimens of Utah's mineral wealth; and there are also soveral large pieces of petrified wood from Weber county, in the north, and Washington couuty in the south of Utah. Numer-ous exhibits of fossil remains arc also made, among them tho roof of the mouth of a sauriau monster, with the teeth still sticking in the jaw bone, supposed to be antediluvian. Conspicuous near the entrance to the museum is the last tic laid at Salt Lake which connected the northern and southern sections of the Utah Central ham's to dissuade others from entering upon gold mining? Mr. Scholield pointed out an ambro-typ- e of the late Hriglmui Young, taken in 1850, at tho time- - he became- - presi-dent of the church; and tho visitor can also see photographs of tho first man convicted in Utah of polygamy and of his plural wife. The man's nauic is George Reynold, and he was lirsfc im-prisoned at Detroit, but subsequently removed to the Utah penitentiary. His wife was Amelia Jane Scholield, and she gave evidence against Reynolds at tho instigation of Hrigham Young, who wished to make it a tesi case. Miss Scholield is tho daughter of tho curator of tho museum. There is also a photograph of a young and I (MOT ...SHOP. listory of a ?enplit as Traced Through the Relics They Leave Behind Them. T THE MUSEUM CONTAINS.' us and Instructive Lessons that Can Be Learned From a Visit to the Institution into our city, what can here be seen cannot fail of both interest and in-struction. The museum is in charge of Mr. John Scholield, who acts as curator, guide and instructor to all visitors. He was born in Manchester, Eng., in 1827, and has been a member of the Mormon church for over forty years. He was formerly an agnostic, and has often presided at meetings when tho attrac-tion was a spoech from Hon. Charles Bradlaugh or some equally distin-guished gentleman of England's liberal party. Mr. Scholield came to Utah in 18S2, and three yours ago succeeded the late Robert Ford in the position he now occupies. The Deseret museum was in-stituted by John W. Young in Decem- - boat to navigate tho waters of (ireat Salt Lake is exhibited in this room. It was buiit by Kit Carson from u log, and is now in a half-burne- con-dition. Ensign Peak is one of tho famous heights just north of the city, and the eircumstanco to which it owes its name is as follows: At the close of the Mex-ican war, when the cession of Mexican territory to the United Slates had been completed, Krighain Young ordered a United Slates ensign to be hoisted on this peak of the Wasatch, In commem-oration of tho event, and, It is said, to show the loyally of the Mormons to the government. For many a long day the flag waved from the summit, of this height, until at last it became evident thai, unless lescued. it would soon go to pieees and be lost. It was taken down und placed in tho Deseret mus-eum, where its tattered remnants can now be seen. Such Is an outline of what this Old Curiosity Shop contains. That it is well worthy a visit from tourists and visitors to Salt Lake goei without saying, and the quaint talk of Mr. Scholield will be found very en tcrl, lining. pretty lady, now Mrs. EniinaChlsholm, for whom the celebrated Emma mine was named. Mrs. Chisholm is now a resident of Elgin, III. Another photo-graph shows the first log cabin built in Utah, at the old fort, iu 1847. The cabin is still standing, in a good state of preservation, at the rear of the resi-dence of Zebulon Jacobs, in the Seven-teenth ward. A model of the first adobe house built in Salt Lake City is also to be seen; and there are specimens in the same case of the first Utah straw weaving in the shape of ladies' hats. Hero can also be seen the first hair-brus- h manufactured iu Utah; tho first porcelain pitcher, the first set of false teeth; the fast toilet soaps, the first printing types, cast at the Deseret. type foundry, the fir.it re-volver, an imitation of an old pattern of Colt's navy of 4Vcalibor, made by John M. Kay; tbo first raw silk from cocoons spun by Utah worms; the first ribbons aud silk tassels for hulies' opera cloaks made from Utah silk, aud the first cot-ton grown in Utah, at St. George, 350 miles south of Salt Lake. Among the rare curiosities to be seen is a cloak made of dogs' hair, which was spun, woven and made up by a lady of Ulah when clothing was scarce. The garment is well preserved. In a little wooden box with glass top and bottom is the first honeycomb raised in Utah; and thero is also a lady's muff made from the pelt of the first goal kidded in Utah; there are also numer-ous specimens of Utah woods. In the rpar room of the museum may be seen the wooden door of the old fort, which was erected as a protection against the Indians; and here isalo ex-hibited the first sewing machine brought across tho plains by team to Utah. It is a Howe of ancient pat-tern and make, and must have cost a small fortune laid down iu Salt Lake city in those early days. There is a small parlor stove in this room which was presented to Louisa Beaman. the first plural wife of Joseph Smith. The stove was given him by his first wife, Emma, by whose advice he married Louisa Beaman. Here is preserved the brake of the first wagon that entered this valley with the pioneers, and with it are the whips with which the oxen were driven. Of the personal effects of Joseph Smith there remains, iu god order, a plain wooden armed ro king chair, which be was especially at arlnd to, it j having been his mother's favorite chair. ! It fell into th'3 poscreion' of Wilford Woodruff, by whom it was presented to the museum. The first while man's ji railroad, and in the tie are the spikes which held the rails in place and whicli wero driven by Brigham Young, January 10, 1870. The spikes were driven by an ordinary steel spike hammer made for the occa-sion, the casting showing the usual "Holiness to the Lord," with tho g eye and the beehive. Fifteen thousand spectators witnessed the cere-mony and celebrated tho completion of the first Mormon railroad in Utah. A framed copy of the Boston News Letter, "published by authority, Monday, April 17 to Monday, April 24, 1704," decor-ates the west wall of the museum; and near it is a United States bayonet res-cued from the destruction of 8000 guns by tire at Camp Floyd by order of Gen-eral Albert Sydney Johnson in 1857, to prevent thcin failing into the hands of Mormons Among the birds of Utah is a stuffed sea-gul- presented as a memento of Di-vine providence, so the legend runs, in providing for the destruction of swarms of grasshoppers and locusts which came down upon the growing crops in 1854 or 1855, threatening their entire destruction and consequent famine. Mr. Scholield takes delight in dilating upon this event, declaring that iu their ex-tremity the people prayed to God for deliverance and their prayers were an-swered by tho coming of sea-gull- s in immense numbers, and who ate up aud destroyed the grasshoppers andlocu.ns. Be this story as it may, it is certain that sea-gull- s arc ever present about the Great Salt Lake, and that a statute of Utah forbids their being molested. Here is also to be seen a copy of the proclamation of Brigham Young for-bidding the entrance of Johnson's array into Utah, dated August 5, 1857; and hauging near it is a musical instrument ailed a bassoon, aud which is said toe be 100 years old. Iu a case there arc specimens of Utah co'us, all of gold from California. One is a S3 piece of pure gold coined in Utah in 1848, and-ther-are W, $5 and 10 gold pieces! alloyed with copper. These coins, are of very primitive appearance, and all bear the inevitable "Holiness j to the Lord." In the same case j is a silver brick, inscribed in raised j letter "Germania S. and E. works, fine H.985," which shows it to be within a j small fraction of pure silver. A curious idea is suggested by a quartcr-oiiac- c nugget of gold seen here, worth about $4. and which was found in Brigham canvon. The inscription states that it cost about 500 to mine it. Is it pos-sible that this was a device of Brig- - bcr, 1809, and since that date it has been the repository of the choicest curios and most ancient relics possessed by a peo-ple who have as surely passed through trial and tribulation to a haven of se-cure rest, as that they have emerged to a brighter future than could.', have been predicted for . them when Nauvoo entered upon its decline, and Carthage witnessed tho dying struggles of the man who founded a church which has caused a world to wonder. Here am be seen the cloak and sword of Joseph Smith when general of tho Nauvoo leg-ion. Besting upon a shelf close by is the brass bugle, by whose notes the pio-neers were called together as they wan-dered across the plains in J847, on their long and tedious journey to the valley of the Great Salt Lake. Conspicuous in a cabinet is a good sized photograph of the Carthage jail, in which Joseph and Hyrum Smith, Willard Richards and John Taylor were confined when the mob overtook them. Joseph aud Hyrum met their death thero shortly after their arrest; Willard Richards es-caped unhurt, and he afterwards be-came the founder of the celebrated Richards family in Utah; aud John Taylor received four bullets in his body, one of which, but for becoming im-bedded in his watch, would have killed him. In the same case are to be seen three hats, each showing bullet hole. These are connected with the later history of the church, having been worn by mis-sionaries to the southern states. Jo-seph Standing was killed iu Georgia, Julv, 1869; John H. Gibbs wajs killed hi Tennessee, August. 1884. aud John T. Alesander was shot at aud his hat pierced, he receiving no bodily injury, in Georgia, about the same date as wit-nessed the killing of Gibbs. Close be-side the hats arc bank notes of various denominations, kept as specimens of the money used by the Mormons at Nauvoo; and in a little glass-covere-box are a few small silver coins, mostly of English mintage, the last money paid out bv Joseph Smith previous to his death. "There is also in the case a bound copy of a small Hebrew bible used by bo'th Joseph and Hyrum; and near by is a printed copy of the revela-tion on celestial marriages, given through Joseph Smith at Nauvoo.
