"BEwARE OF VIppERs."-The wisdom of the
injunction uttered by Sam Weller, senior, ''to be-
ware of vdders," is exomplifed by the case of
youth nineteen years of age, described as slim
built and of etfeminate appearance, who is now in
Kings county IN. y Jail for having two more
wives than the law allows. His three wives
were widows, aged respectively thirty, forty, and
forty.five years. The first wife is trying to pro-
cure him bail, the second is prosecuting him, and
the third is repning because of his absence. He
alleges that in each case the widow was the ag-
gressor. Were he in Utah, he might, in time
rival Governor Brigham Young.

Eugene Sue, when he occupied the poetic re-

nearly all his verses while promenading along
