He maintain- ed that the Lord took away the fulness of the priesthood when he established a law of car- nal commandwent under Aaron. | This con- tinued until Christ’scoming, Even John the Baptist had not authority to lay on hands for the reception of the Holy ‘Ghost. Christ vives this priesthood to the aposties. | They had the keys of the kingdom of God. They had power to seal on earth and in heaven.

The water (they do pot use wine in the ordi nance) was then arranged in cans, when the preacher paused, and the Grarid Patriarch— whose ehief functions is to pronounce biess- ings—uttered the consecration prayer, and the speakér proceeded while the water was being distributed, At the close of the sermon the preacher said ‘ Amen’ and ail the people answered “Amen.” The congre- gation, seemed stohd and heavy, The larger proportion were Women. many et thom vl0 aud taded, looking sad and careworn, patient- iy enduring the cross of one-third, or one-fourth, or one fifth of a husband in view of the ampler recorapense that awaits them ‘as the reward oftheir self-denial. There were few faces of beauty, and a representative of everything made in the shape of a hat or bonnet, from the days of Elizabeth, down, could be tound on the heads of these fanatics celiected together from every part of Chris- tendom. :

kt is most refreshing to turn trom the gos- pel of Jve Smith and Bagham Young to the gospel of Jésus Christ. In the evening the Rey. W.M. Panshon preached in Faust's Hall. ‘he house was densely packed. The eloguent preacher had discoursed to listening audieaces gathered from all classes, but I question whether he ever addressed so motley an assembly. There were men of all landg and climes, of all shades ard colour, of all creeds, Protestauts, Mormons, Mormonesses, excommunicated saints and infidels, Young- ites, God be-ites. Jews and proselytes, judges, officers, sdldiers, miners, traders, travellers, What conflicting emotions and experiences, what contending passions and impulses, throb- bed through the bosoms of such an audience ! Among t' em was the first of Orsou Pratt, the Mormon .dignitary whom we heard in the afternoon, once happy in her witehood and im her husband's affection; new heart-broken and degraded, carryimg upon her heart the burden.of- blighted affection aud preferring to live alone than to share an adulterous life with the four riva!s in her husband's love.

INTERESTING DETAILS OF THE NEW ARTIC EX-

PEDITION,

From the Washington Hepublican of the 6th inst., we glean tke following interesting particulars of the above expedition.

Captain Hall is about five feet eight inches bigh, with a firmly kuit, compact frame, in dicative of great vigor aud strength, and weighs probably 190 pounds. His head is large, with a profusion of thick, brown hair, and heavy brown beard, inclining to curl His forehead is broad and massive, with a full development of the temporal and corogal re- gious. His eyes are blue, and the whole ex- pression of the countenance firm, but very agreeable, kind and pleasant. Captain Hal hails from Cincinnati, where he wae once en-

delivered into the hands of Joseph Sauith. | gaged in the ne wspeper business, publishing These records were eng:aven cn plates, which | the Occasional, and afterwards the Daily Pen- had the appearance of gold, and were bound ny Press.

When open water is reached the order of things is exactly reversed —the boat ie unpacked and spread out, and the sledge and its contents taken on board, dog team and all.

The aeemmodations tor crew and officers are perfect, The cabin is neatly fitted up,and has m it an drgan presented to Captain Hull by the Smith Organ Company, and aft she carries a small brass howitzer.

GOD SPEED THEM.

Captain Hall and bis boat will sail to mor- row at noon. From captain to deck hand the crew of the Polaris is composed of heroes worthy to be sung with Zetes and Ur pheus

aud Jason and all the other A ts,. Brave, dauntless and enthusiastic, if they can- not command success they deserve it. “And

in their hazardous undertsking it is to be hoped they may be imbued wi:h the spirit of that dauntleses old exyJorer, Sir Humphey Gilbert, whese voice was heard fer the last time crying to his men “Courage my lads} We are as near heavea by sea as by land!

REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATION.

ENGRAFTING RAT SKIN ON A MAN'S IP.

(From the Louisville Ledger, Alay 26} ©

We hear of a somewhat novel surgical oper- ation recently performed by Dr, E. B. awe, of Leaveaworth, Ivdiana, A youtg Maa named Murchison, living in Meade County, Ky., met with a terrible accident while work- ing io a saw-mill, by means of which a piece of skin as large as the bottom of a tin eup wae torn from ms hip. Dr. Hawn was ecailed te the case. Knowing the extreme difficulty 'ex- perienced by surgeons in vetting injuries ofthe kind to heal properly, the doctor was at a loss how to proceed, Ii is well known that where a large surface of skin has been removed, the cure 18 tedious and diffieult to accomplish, Nothing but skin will prodace new skin, and the exposed surface wiil not beal farthet than an inch from the margin, after which the edges must be trimmed again and a new growth started, the operation being repeated as often as necessary, until the entire surface is covered and the cure effected; Not wish- ing to subjeet his patient to thie tedious and painful process, Mr. H. resolved to try the experiment of engraftation, His first idea was to take small] bits of live skin from gari- ous other parte of the body and graft themamon the exposed surface, bat the patient objected on account of the pain attending the skinning process, and the anultitude of small: which would be left. The doetor thew sug- gested that the ekio of some inferior animal might be uscd, and th? patiemt readily consent- ed. A rat about two-thirds 0 Wao Caught, killed, and quickly ekinned, alter which ihe doctor cut a piece of the required size, trim- med ut to suit the exposed surface, clapped it on and fastened it with strape of adaésive plaster after which the whole surface was | covered with a coating of col:dion. Thevex- periment sueceeded beyond his most expectations, The gratt took by first inten- tion, and in ten days the cur was ¢com-

lete.

The surface of the wound is covered with a fine growth of hair, aud the rat skin seems to answer every purpose. The only inoonveni- ence to which Mr. Murchison is subjeesed és on aceourtof the cats. On several occasions, when sitting down reading, he bas been put to co litle alarm and some inconvewience ‘by havirg the house eat spring suddenly on him and fasten ber teeth in that portion of hw pantaloons which immediately covers «the transplanted rat skin.
