Show MRS. STENHOUSE. Mrs. Stenhouse, who has just died in Los An-jjeles, An-jjeles, possessed one of the most superb minds and as lofty a character as ever cried out for the right in Utah. She was persecuted until she had to leave here, but with grand courage she maintained the dignity of her womanhood and retired from the field with her standard full high advanced and trumpets sounding. She had the brain of a statesman states-man and the courage of a trained soldier; she had a literary style that was as incisive as one of the Philippics of Domosthones and yet that had a rhythm, like lofty music. She was a Harriet Beecher Stowe and Julia Ward Howe combined. Under happier auspices she would have been one of the most distinguished women of her age. She lived to almost four-score, and for several years before her death was blind. L'et us think of her as having new light in her eyes and with all the infirmities of age and the hate of enemies forgotten. |
