LITERARY FRAUD.-The public generally
acquainted with the fact, that President Wayland,
Of Brown University, prepared a memoir OF the
life of DR.. Judson, the Missionary. With great
literally, he presented the copyright Of this work.
TO Mrs. Judson, and it is her only property, and only
source Of income. Messrs. Phillips, Sampson, &
Co., Of Boston, became her publishers, terms
more liberal than other publishers would offer, and,
she was about to secure competency for her sup.
port. With these favorable prospects before her,
she is suddenly surprised by the annunciation that
new life Of Judson was about 10 be issued, from
New York, we believe, by anonymous author.
This is, Of course, piraled from DR.. Wayland's
work, and what adds the alamy Of the piracy, is
that an attempt is TO be made to supercede the orr.
ginaI, by putting he spurious edition at lower
price. We trust that person will buy the praed
edition. bui that those who purchase at all will see
that their book has the imprint Of Messrs. Phillips,
Sampson, s. Co., with the name Of Dr. Wayland
as its author.
We understand that Mrs. Jadson will soon offer
the public an abridgemen. 0: the work prepared by
herself.

EE- The Boston Times, Of Friday, 10th inst,
makes an ill-Raturea attack on Massachusetts in
general, and Worcester County in particular, be-
cause Of the Nebraska memorial, which has heen
sent from this city to Congress.
The Times says that Massachusetts is old and
federal ridden; and that the Nebraska petition
from Worcester, was signed by old line Massa-
chusetts wings and iederalsts. This talk Is in
tended TO divert attention from Douglass inla-
nous bill, to questions and circumstances that
have nothing whatever TO do with 1t. Senator
Douglas proposes TO do one of the most dlshon-
orable acts that false hearted politician ever at
tempted, and the Times, unable TO defend the
act, turns, like an angry cur, upon those who
publicly condemn it. Federalism is dead, and
was buried long age, and we cannot see the ree-
Vancy, thoughwe understand the purpose ofbIing.
ing its ghust up TO cover the contemplated iniqui-
ty Of robbing freedom Of Nebraska. 1t is not
federalism, whigglsm, the last war with Britain,
or the Mexican war, that is now the issue, and
the Times knows it but that paper prefers 10
make any one of those obsolete subjects, mat
ter Of discussion, rather than 10 stand right
straight up and assume The full responsibility Of
defending this Nebraska swndle.
The Times, by stating that the Worcester PEI
tition was signed by iederals enIeavors to wake up
whatever anti federal prejudice may still lingerin
the community, against the purpose of the pei-
ton. But, so long as it is well known, in this
community, that the petition was signed by men
Of all parties; and so long it is understood that
purpose in view, in this matter, the attempt If
the Times to revive dead issues, and get up a
Douglas party, will fail.
II the Times wishes 10 encourage Douglas in
his career, by stating that nobody but federalists
and aboionists have signed the Worcester petit
iioI, he probably may succeed; though his sue
cess will be the result Of fasehood. That petit
ton was signed by Free Democrats, wings, aboli-
tonlsts, and democrats, not as partizans, but as
Americans, whose indignation, sustained by their
reason, impeiled them to protest against the most
robbery scheme that ever was conceived of in
the whole history of political viIlany
The Times would have stated the case truly,
if it had said, that the free, unbought and unb-
ased public opinion of the whole free NORTH and
of New England especially, is in deadly hostility
to Douglas provision in the Nebraska bill, with
out any distinction as to party names, either past
or present that the only papers in New England
which even favor it, are those which have their
hands up to the elbows in the public chest, or
- b,,t ba 70
the slave power; and that the Times itself, but
for the thousands per year, which it is receiving
from that source, would be among the most out
spoken opponents of the Infamous cheat. With
these facts, staring in the face, there is not
intelligent person in the state, who reads such ar
ticles as that we commenting upon, 10 the
Times, with anything but smile of derison.

THE RLOOMERs OUTDONE.

Miss Mary B. Williams contends for
the right of women TO wear clothes as
they choose. In letter recently pub.
lished, she thus argues the question and
lays down the laws of good taste in regard
to the cut and color of jackets and trow.
sers OF the fair sex: ..
1t is, as | am informed, misdemeanor
for women to assume the garb of man
with intent TO disguise her sex--the law
presuming that such disguise is intended
10 cover some evil design, but i! no in.
tention to disguise the sex is apparent,
then no offence is committed. Under
this Interpretation of the law, it will be
seen that we are not, after all, entirely
restrained from wearing the male style of
dress, hold that women should wear
this costume whenever or wherever they
choose 10 do so, either in town or country
in doors, occasionally or constantly. II
the male part Of creation should find any
trouble in determining our sex, let them
quit shaving their faces, and then the diff
hculty will be obviated. What kind Of
male dress may we wear2 is question
that often suggests itself to the timid re-
formers. In answer to this, | would say
wear any dress that you like; you have a
whole range Of mems fashions TO choose
from. Wear black, blue or brown coats,
in the sack, frock or close bodied form as
you may prefer. blouses of grey linen, or
linen check; pantaloons of drab or blue
cashmere, or Of white or grey linen; buff,
white or black waistooats; and fur or
straw hats or cloth caps. All these and
more too, are open to your choice. In
reference to good taste, avoid striped.
oss..barred and snake and toad colored
pants; let yours be plain, and cut snugly
10 the form, without being too scanty for
the free motion of the limbs; eschew all
kinds OF tawdry waistcoats. such as we
see spported by fancy young men, A
buff cashmere vest, with plain. flat gilt
buttons, is eminently genteel, and is al
ways becoming, plain black vest will be
found desirable to alternate with the buf
one. If YOU wear blue dress coat, have
it trimmed, by all means, with plain fiat
gilt buttons, but no other coat whatever
should have metallic buttons OF any kind.
Generally the sack coat is preferable to
any other form of this garment, and for
working, the blouse is better than all. !
do most of my sweeping, and other house
work, in check linen blouse. For walk.
ing, and riding. and driving, wear a blue
sack coat, buff vest and drab pants--s
suit which comes fully up to my idea o.
neatness and comfort combined.

ALL NUTRlMENT OF VEGETABLE ORR.
GIN.--Nearly every one, high or low, up
to few years ago, has believed that there
was difference between the nutritve
parts oil hesh.meat and those Of other
substances. Inquiry, however, has shown
conclusively that all nutirment whatever
is Of vegetable origin. We, see, tor in
stance, that when we feed upon the body
of the sheep, we do not gain anything
peculiar, but simply the vegetable Prin-
ciples Of the food upon which animal was
fed. 1t was Liebig who first pointed out
this fact. He says that the 'carnivora, in
consuming the blood and flesh OF the
gramiuivora, consume, strictly speaking
only the vegetable principles, which have
served Tor the nutrition Of the latter. Ii
is of great Importance thus to have proved
that flesh of animals, for even kredtinint
is not peculiar, as you have the same prin
ciple in tea and coffee, and it is to thi;
that these articles owe their stimulating
qualities,

Effects 0T PoIygamy upon the Nor
mon Population,


As the Saints in Utah will shortly be
applying for admission into the Union
when tho question whether they can be
admitted with their 'peculiar institution y
will come up for decision;--we give an
extract from late work entitled "Utah
and the mormons," by Benz. g. Ferris
late Secretary of the Territory. Mr.. F
is spoken OF as gentleman Of strict ye'
racity. and having resided year in
Utah, mixing with the people, his means
of information are of the first order:
The effect on population is decidedly
deleterious. The prophet Joseph had
over forty wives at Nauyoo, and the resi-
Of the priesthood had various numbers
corresponding to their standing and iu-
clinations; nearly all the children OF these
polygamOus marriages died at that place
indeed, it is alleged by Mormons thai
not one was taken TO Utah. Brigham
Young has thrifty children, Of whom
eight are by his first and second lawful
wives; the remaining twenty-five are by
his spiritualS. He has about fifty wives,
some OF whom are widows Of Joseph
Smith, and are probably past the time
of having children; but, suPposing him
to have thirty who are capable Of having
issue--which is below the true number
the twenty two children would be less
than one child to concubine. If each
of these degraded females could have
been the honered wife Of one husband
the aggregate number Of children, &C.
cording 10 the usual average Of four tc
the family, would be one hundred and
twenty, showing a loss in population o.
ninety.eight.
"The children are subject to fright
ful degree Of sickness and mortality
This is the combined result of the gross
sensuality of the parents and want ol
care towards their offspring. As gen.
eral rule, these sanity pretenders take as
little care of their wives as ofthe children;
and Of both less than careful farmer in
the States would of his cattle; and no.
where out OF Five Points, in New
York city, can a more filthy, miserable,
neglected,looking and disOrderly rabble
Of children be found than in the streets
of Great Salt Lake City. The Governor
again, whose attention 10 his multifarious
family we are bound to suppose greater
than the average, affords fair illustration.
He was twice lawfully married, and has
eight legitimate children, who are all
living. He has had large number ol
children by his concubines no one
knows how many--it is only known thai
there are only twenty-five surviving
These females do not reside in the Gov.
ernor's house, so called, but in different
establishments, from one up TO a dozen
in place."
