From Dr. Mary. J. Safford Blake, of Boston, who is now on her way to the Pacific coast. This lady is an active worker in Woman's Cause, is an earnest advocate of hygienic dress reform, which she not only preaches, 1 but practices, and is interested also in suffrage and all subjects which tend to the equality of : f:1 ?3 woman with man. She expressed herself pleased with our city and its surroundings and in particular with the efforts being made for the development and elevation of woman, but like all others of the outside world was unable from her standpoint .. to take the same views that we do of our pecc-.a evafom nf marrlacre: vet she was most char-n- -. itable, believing u$ to be truly earnest and si cere. She is certainly a most intelligent and attractive person, and we very truly regretted her not being able to stay longer in our city. Several It. S.

These sisters who lately visited the settlements as far South as Sanpete, meeting with the Relief Societies, and also attending meetings appointed by President Young and the brethren who accompanied him, have returned home filled with the testimony of the Holy Spirit, the Power of God unto Salvation., We would rejoice in giving to those who were not Saturday, permitted to attend the meeting .onflowed from as Truth they the words of Living the lips of the sisters mentioned; but had we time, space and ability to put them on paper, they would thus seem too tame and weak, wanting the influence, the potency, with which they were uttered. The day for the next i- regular meeting being the "Twenty Fourth,1' meeting was adjourned for one week only, inl stead of two. The Editorial Excursion party who are making a tour across the continent, reached : Salt Lake City by the evening train Saturday evening July 10th, and took rooms at the "Townsend House." They visited the Tabernacle in the morning when all the Sunday Schools from the different wards were assembled to practice for the coming Jubilee. In the afternoon they attended the regular service there. Elder Orson Pratt occupied, the stand. Monday morning they went by train up American Fork Canyon, and left the city Tuesday afternoon for the West. The party is composed mostly of editors correspondents etc. from New York and the East- rn States, and some from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington. They expect to reach San Francisco pn the 12th of August. No doubt their short visit in Salt Lake will furnish them some items of interest, as Mormons and fall-iseem to be a popular and never present theme, for journalists etcatof the our surus, time. We hope they,will speak and roundings and our institutions truthfully,of an not according to the rcpreprescutatioiis outside element which delights In scandal, misrepresentation and untruthfulness. i , ; The latter is published as its name indicates, In the Interest of education.
