A correspondent Of the Ncics, from
Ohio, thus endorses Governor Young and
the Mormons in general
"Whether Governor Young, or any
other Mormon, has sixteen or sixteen
hundred wives, | know not and care
less. ! suppose he has no more than he
makes tolerable provisions for; "a thing
many Of his slanderers do not do;) not
withstanding the shamsfully outrageous
conduct Of the general government in
refusing to pay him his salary and dis
honoring his paper, yet do know, that
to all outward appearances, at least, a
more orderly and decent people | have
never seen; and during the few days |
have remained in your city, have had
frequent cause to blush at the contrast
presented between the pious ESQ callsd)
people of the States and the wicked
Mormons."

The following dissertation on Shang-
hais will be interesting to all dealers in
the fancies." 1t is by writer in the
Knickerbocke, =
"Yeur correspondent has at last got q
Shanghai hen? wish him joy of it
You should have seen the brutes, as
have, in the unmitigated ungainliness OF
early youth, stalking about the barn
yard on stills, gazing stupidity around
from that bad eminence, blown oter by
every sudden blast of wind, or coming
down heels over head on kernel Of
corn. My Shanghais began life with an
inordinate pair Of drum sticks, and have
been running to legs ever since. They
remind me OF nothing but the ostrich,
which saw long, long ago. with my lit
tie brother who in his excitement fed
the creatures on pennies, and burst into
tears when, as the last copper was gulp-
ed, the sense of utter bankruptcy broke
upon him. Their crow is not the honest
Saxon crow, expressive of day -break,
love, war, and animal spirits, but hor-
rid gutteral ejaculation, between Chin
ese sentence, as described by mission
aries and badly blown dinner horn
They move like a man whose legs are
asleep: in fact, their whole carriage is
such that | wonder the country louts,
stumbling along the road to chuch, do
not recognize their own gait in that of
the wretched fowls, and feel the deep
damnation of the .aking off My game
cock has gone mad upon the subject
Reared by that noble Earl of Derby, who
lately forsook breeding race horses and
fighting chickens to assume the reins Of
government, this bird, whose family is
as old as the earldom, cannot bear the
sight of great commoner like Shang-
hia Every one of their actions, howev-
er innocent, he considers personal He
climbs their aides holding by one feath-
er, like midsbipman boarding line
He cannot take his own meals for fear
that they will get morsel. He follows
them all day like q shadow. which, at
this rate he will soon become. One
question presses upon me; Will the
Shanghais ever top growing, or shall
wake some morning to find the barn-yard
in their possession, several farm hands
in their crops, and q deputation of do
mestic poultry waiting at the door of the
house to pick up the familyas they come
out, and breakfast on their benefactors!
Let your correspondent consider this
while his fowls are yet in the corn crib.

We think the following Mormon or

/ We think the following Mormon or
dinance worthy Of imitation here:
" Each animal running at large with
in the limits Of the Corporation, is liable
to be sold at auction for five dollars fine,
costs and damage, which may be more
than the animal is worth and if the
citizens will not take care of their ami
mails, and keep them where they boz
long, their nelghbors and the officers Of
the city must do it for them for the
gardens must be preserved; thousands
of saints are coming who will want veg
etables. Brethren, keep your stock out
of the streets, and save cost.

Deatll of Kings.

William the Conqueror died from en-
ormous fat, from drink, and from the
violence of his passions.
William Rufus died the death of the
poor stays that he hunted.
Henry the First died of gluttony, hay-
ing eaten too much Of dish of lamprey.
Stephen died in q few days, of what
was called lilac passion, which we sup
pose may be royal word for prussic ac-
id or something like it.
James the First died of drinking, and
of the effects of nameless vice.
Henry the Second died of broken
heart occasioned by the bad conduct of
his children.
Richard Coeur de Lion died by shot
from an archer while hunting.
John died of chagrin.
Henry the Third is said to have died
natural DEATH which, with kings in
palaces means the most unnatural death
by which mortal can shuttle off this NOR
tai coil.
Edward the First is likewise said to
have died of a natural Sickness a sick
ness which it would puzzle all the col
legc Of physicians to denominate.
Edward the Second was most barbar-
ously and indecently murdered, by ru-
fians, employed by his own mother and
her paramour.
Edward the Third died Of dotage,
and SO did George the Third.
Richard the Second died of starvation
the very reverse of George the Fourth
Henry the Fourth is said to have
died of fits caused by uneasiness,' and
uneasiness in palaces at those times was
a very common complaint.
Henry the Fifth is said to have died
of painful affliction, prematurely.'-
This is courtly phrase for getting rid
of a king
Henry Sixth died in prison, by means
known by his jailor, and by heaven.
Edward the Fifth was strangled in
the tower by his uncle Richard the
Third, whom Hume declares to have
possessed every quality for government
This Richard the Third was killed in
battle, fairly of course, for al kings
were either killed fairly or died natur-
ally, according to the court circulars of
those days.

AnecdOte of Girard.

We knew Stephen Girard slightly,
and had occasional intercourse with him
on business matters, and our impression
was that his mind was diseased, and his
heart soured towards man. He seemed
to US like solemn warning against set
ting the heart on accumulating for the
sake of hoar ding away. A friend of ours
once solicited contribution from Cirard
for some important purpose Of benevo-
lence. He stated his case, and received
the prompt answer

But said our friend, consider the pc
culiar claims Of this CASE and he was
about to explain them, when he was cut
short with a decisive
i give you noting
Our friend was young and jealous, and
felt that he ought to try and bring the
old man to sense of his obligation to
care for his fellow man. He suggested,
therefore, to Girard. that little OF his
great wealth devoted to charity would
bring great revenue of pleasure, and
added: ,
You have been greatly prospered and
blessed in your efforts to gain property,
and Providence has wonderfully favored
you, Undertaking. Think how often that
Providence has waited your ships safely
