The Mormons had a grand celebration of their national jubilee on the 24th of July in Great Salt Lake City. They had a procession, odes, orations, speeches, &c. J. M. Grant gave the following "sentiment," which looks a little ironical: —
"Brigham Young is to the sons of earth, what Kolob is to the planets—a little ahead of them: I wonder if the planets give light to Kolob, or Kolob to them?
'Softly I crept down by the burn side, to view the small fishes, where the waters so gently did glide' up the hill. Halloo! ye rulers of the earth!! The world is wrong side up. Kolob is the Great Governing Planet."
