we re;o;ce 10 state that this is the FIRST OF Sc
&c sc;on,i6c works of like value which Mr.

Them great deal preferable to the 'Percival
Eeene.' and Jack Sheppards' of modern re-

A word here in illustration Of the Copyright
Question. Most of these cheap books are taken
without pay from the Foreign Author, but it is the
Nation and not the publisher that steals them In
the absence of Copyright Law, one man may
ius, as we'll publish them as another; aBd he who
declines from conscientious scrupleJ does the Au-
thor no service whatever An but says an OPP
nouent, these books would cost so much if we
bought ,hem-,herefore let US steal No, sir;
you mistake. Mr. Winchester prints oditiens of
10000 or so of his cheap works; and he could
richly afford to pay the author 5000 on work
BY charging sixpence more for it. In fact, he
could afford to, and doubtless would, sell it as
cheap as now-lhe Copyright at liberal price
being worth its cost to him merely as protection
against direct rivalry. In other words. if he
could have had this very work TO himself by pay
ing the author $500 for it, he could well have
Afforded it, and yet sold it at the same price as
ncw We do not believe Copyright would in
crease the price of standard works ten per cent.
MoRMoNIsM.--George w. Robinson, late n
Gssera1 in the Nnuyoo service has withdrawn
from the Mormon connection, as he cannot con:
sent longer to remain member of said church
while poygamy, losciyiousness and adultery are
prac,ced by some of its leading members He
Grating Benefits statements concerning the infa-
nous character and practices of Joe Smith.
The las, number of the Times and Seasons
published al Nauyoo, contains d letter from Joe
Smith, which was recently read to the Saints, an
nouncing his flight as follows:
r L. II
that nv enemies, both of Missouri aud this State,
were again on the pursuit OF me; ana lnasnsuch
as thew pursue me without cause, and have not the
least shadow or coloring of justice or right on
Their side in the getting up Of their prosecutions
sgsinst me; and inasmuch as tteir professions
az. all founded in falsebood of the blacklist die,
have thought it cxpedent and wisdom in me to
leave the place for short season, for my own
safety and the safety of this people When
learn that the storm is fully blown over, then /
will return 10 you again"
Then follow directions upon various church
matters, especially baptism for the dead.
The same paper contains an account of speech
in which Elder Rigdon declares his perfect faith
in Joe Smith and relates miraculous recovery OF
his daughter from sickness which, he says, con-
firms him in the Mormon belief. His daughter,
he says, was pronounced dead, but soon after rose
and addressed them al at great length and finally
said that, having been dead, the Lord had sent
herback in obedience 10 her fathers prayers.
