Salamamder Safes.


TIME name of Salamander was first applied
to Wilder's Patent, and introduced by the
subscriber in 1910, who in 1874 purchased the
right to manufacture The superiority of Her
rings (Wilder's) Salamander Safes over all
others induced many to infringe upon the pa
teot right by using the composition; others
more cautious, and to ovade lawsuit, made an
inferior article, initiating the exterior in form,
style, color of painting, and attached the name

A Very Good Joke.

We learn from the Milwaukee Free Demo
crat some facts in relation to the recent Fugi-
tive Slave case at Milwaukee,, which may be
interesting and amusing to. curl readers. 1t
appears that on the day ofthe rescue of Glover
Deputy Marshal Cotton called on the Com
mandants of the Military Companies to call out
their troops, but they decline TO obey euch a
requisition without the proper authority He
then called on Gen. McManman, requiring him
to call out tho troops under his commando
He said his Captains were military men and
would not act unless the provisions of the law
were strictly complied with, and unless some
authority would guaranty that the troops
should be paid. Finally, the astonisbingly
brilliant IT, s. Atty, Sharpsten, after due con-
sderation, certified that in his opinion. Uncle
Sam would bo bound to pay Accordingly tho
| necessary reqnisition wns made and, on the
order of little Deputy Cotton, two Companies,
comprising Ill men, were stationed at tho
Armory, and required to remain there till fur
ther orders
On Tuesday the Commandant waited on tho
Deputy, TO know how much longer the troops
should remain at tho Armory Tho Deputy
Marshal, in great surprise, replied. "Yon huvn't
kept the troops at the Armory all this while
have you?'
"Ccrtanly. You gave directions to keep
them there till further orders
Uncle Sans Slave catching agents were now
in quandary. One hundred and eleven troops
had been watching for four days to prevent the
escape of Glover, though Glover had made bis
exit from Milwaukee three days previous
What was to be done: The troops would not
disband without their pay, and after some
quibblng as to whether the Commandant
should receipt for The troops. or the troops re-
ceipt Individually for themselves. it was finally
agreed that The latter course should be pur-
sued, and the Marshal had to pay Eight Dollars
head, or EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHT
DOLLARS, for watching the Armory to prevent
the escape Of Glover from jail, three days after
Glover had left for CanadaH

THE MnRMONs OF SALT LAkE.

A pentleman who has recently heen among
the Mormans of Salt Lake furnishes the New
York Journal ofCommerce with tho following:
'lst They ARE Pantheists. They believe
there are many gods. The threo gods OF this
world they say arc revealed IN the Bible, (Which
is book made under their direction, Cana are
tho Father, The Son. and The Spirit Other
worlds have other gods. Jupiter is larger
world, and may have five or six gods.
Matter is eternal, and gods are great minds
that preside over matter and rule IT, Hence
tho need Of many gods.
2d. Gods and men must ase means to grow
greater. Marriage and birth are means of ad-
yancement Hence God tho Father has been
married, which is proven by the fact that he
had a son, Jesus Christ, and by such passages
as. sAre rot his angels mnistering spirits!
| which passage they interpret as follows:--
| 'Who naturally ministers to man: Ans. "A
wife, Now, God has married of such as they
are therefor myriads of wives to Him. Men
immitate God when they marry.
2d. Polygamy. The Patrarchs and others
Of early age, had many wives. Only when
| despots and oppressors ruled, did The Bible
| law Of many wives become disregarded IL IS
| only human enactmonts that prevent tho right
| use of universal marriage now. They argue
| from the difference of the sexes which exists

| all shall marry, whether they desire or not
There is no more power of choice in this, than
there is whether we cat or not, sleep or not,
and other necessary functions of life and
health Hence to refuse to marry or neglect
| il when Of suitable age, is dsobediencc to God
authority.
Reason on which marriage is founded
They argue again, that mind is only matter;
and this material mind is always struggling
to develop itself. God having provided so
libcrslly for its developement by the serualIty
of each individual, we sin if we prevent mind
from developing itself: and hence. as no one
can be saved in his sins, that persons is not
relgious--cannot be happy in future state
who is not married. To this they add torture
to scripture without end. And as tho sinner
must marry only the latter day saints !, bo-
comes tho duty Of every masculine saint to re
ccive every woman who offers herself; as be
thus saves soul from death, and hides null
ttude of sins

ting the quantity of clothing when dressed for
a ride on winters day. we found it to contain
ninety-eight and half yards of three quarter
yard wide cloth. Sho has brown hair dark blue

nologists would call well balanced head, the
perceptive organs predominating. She can

MOST rrENpIsH CRUELTY.

On Saturday, the 25th inst, J. d. Coolidge

in Pansville, on the charge of cruelty 10 an
orphan girl eleven years Of age, who was rel
alive and lived in the family. The Court
House was filed with spectators. The parties
were held to bail in $4,000 bonds. Among
tho witnesses were Drs. Palmer and Morrison
and the little victim herself. The atrocities
by the testimony were marked with such shock
ing and repulsve barbarity, as would seem TO
find just punishment only in the torture OF a
barbaroas age. Our laws being framed for
the civilized or at least semi-ciyilized, peo-
pie, would seem to contain no provision for
the punishment of such loathsome and abom-

Britain. The highest mountains are covered

ten lies at the country at large There are
not many high mountains. nor largo riyers and
hikes in the country. The mountains that OK
ist are volcanic in their origin Almost every
acre of the soil is made productive, though not
specially SO by nature. The hills arc general

ed to be one of the beat cultivated countries in

ted; as they have but preciouslttle commence,
they must raise their own food or starvc.--
Rice is staple article Of food. Aside from
rico they raise wheat, Indian corn, vegetables,
and many otbar articles that are productive in
this country.
Japan is very wealthy country, as it a
bounds with gold and silver copper and other
valuable metals Besides, the people are very
industrious and enterprising, and often remind
one of the Yankees. They have thor "mer-

The higher classes dress very richly, as well

The Dutch are principally engagedin in the

export camphor, and lacquered woodwork,

port sugar, tin, looking glasses, and other ar
