During the past week quite a gloom has been cast over the sisters here at Paris through the death of Bister Matilda Price, wife of Bishop a Robert Price of the 2d Ward of this place. On last she was in her usual health until Sunday the evening of that day, when she was suddenly taken sick, and in less than twenty-fou- r - houra expired, surrounded by her family and many friends who deeply feel her loss. The funeral took place on Tuesday, when Presidents C. C. Rich and Geo. Osmond gave some very encouraging and comforting words of instruction to the many friends who had to pay their last respects to the remains of Sister Price-a- nd also an infant son of Bro. John T. Rich of this town, who. was buried at the same time. Slater Price was born on the 25th of March 1833; embraced the Gospel in England about 1850; married in the fall of 1853, and in the same year emigrated to Utah.

Mr. Alan Greenwoll expressed his gratification at seeing so many present, and pointed out the necessity of women combining for mutual benefit the same as men. In case of being out of work, in case of sickness or death, by being members of that association they would have something to fall back upon in time of need. Benefit societies for females were calculated to do a vast amount of good. Co operating one with another would certainly tend to their advancement, and the indifference to union, heretofore displayed, was the greatest hindrance to woman's progress. Mr. Green-we- ll expressed his astonishment at the apathy or rather want of thought manifested by Trades Unionists and men belonging to Friendly "Societies," in not inducing, in greater numbers, their wives and sisters to partake of the advantages offered by the National Union of Working Women. L The Rev. W. Hargravo said it was the duty of working women to join associations for not only would their connection therewith tend to woman's social benefit, but create those grand feelings of and independence, nay, save her in many cases from great degradation tho parish workhouse. Ex. self-relian- ce WORKING WOMEN IN LONDON. To glvo our readers an Idea of tho condition of working women in London, we copy from tho ''English Woman's Review" an account of a crowded meeting of working women belonging to the Pimlico Army Clothing Factory, held on tho evening of April 1G, 1879, in the Portcullis Hall, Westminster, Mr. Hodgson Pratt, Chairman, who invited any of the women present to state all facts concerning the reduction of wages. Without giving full particulars of prices, etc., we will say the reduction was such that they determined to memorialize the Secretary of War for and see if any change could be made by which they could subsist by their hard work. In setting forth thoir grievances in the Memorial they state, that while they suffered irom a re duction of wages, and also from not being allowed to take work home as formerly, the salaries of certain officers of the establishment had been increased. Signed on behalf of a meeting of upwards of 700 women and at their unanimous request, by the Chairman, Hodgson Pratt, lato member of the Indian Cvil Service. "Nearly one thousand female machine workers assembled in tho vicinity of Westminster Palace the following afternoon, of the memprevious to tho bers of the House of Commons after the Easter recess, tho object of tho promoters being to represent their griovancca with respect to the recent reduction of wages, which affects about 1,500 persons. The proposed formation of a procession having been 'forbidden by the police, who were stationed in the street in extra force, it was necessary to hold a consultation as to the mode of procedure. Again the Portcullis Hall was hastily engaged, and at once fillect Tho general opinion of the meeting was that it would be well to appear at the House of Commons, with a view of enlightening the members of Parliament generally as to the large number of women affected by the reductions. It was accordingly agreed that the House should bo reached in irregular procession, the party separating and taking different streets on the route.
