THE HAREMs OF THE PRIESTHOOD.

ldE HAREMS OF THE PRIESTHOOD.
" The high priest dignitaries of the Church
are exceedingly skilful in procuring young
girls tor wives. They inculcate the idea
that elderly members, who have been tried
and found faithful, are surer instruments of
salvation than the young, who may aposta-
llz2 /; and as marriage to one who remains
steadtast to the end is essential to escape
from the fate of being mere angels, great
many young women are fooled into this
bubbllng and seething caldron of prosttu-
ton. Elder Wilford Woodruff, one of the
twelve apostles, has a regular system of
changing his harem. He takes in one or
more young girls, and so manages, after he
tires OF them, that they are glad to ask for a
divorce. after which he beats the bush for
recruits. He took fresh one, about four
teen years old, in March 1853 and will pro-
baby get rid of her in the course of the en-
suing summer. The maneuvers are prac-
tlced more or less by the whole gang the
girls discarded by one become sealed to
Others, and so travel the entire rounds and
when they are ready to start anew. they
have profoundly realizing sense of female
modesty, to say nothing of some of its ad-
juncts."
THE MORMON WIFE.
A arJe, III Utah, cannot live out half
her days. In families where polygamy has
not been introduced, she suffers an agony of
apprehension on the subject which can
scarcely be conceived, much more described.
There is sad, complaining, suffering look
obvious to the most ordinary observer, which
tells the story, if there were no other evi-
dence on the subject. In most cases it is
producing premature old age, and some have
already sunk into an early grave under an
lntolerable weight of aff1ictiOn. The man.
from the moment he makes up his mind to
bring one or more concubines into the fami
ly, becomes always neglectful, and in most
cases abusive to his wife"

There has been some talk of going even be-

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

"Polygamy,' says Mr. Ferris, is intro
ducing a new style Of building at Salt Lake
City. A man with half-a-dozen wives
builds, if he can, long, low dwelling, hav-
ing six entrances from the outside; and
when he takes in new wife, if able to do
SO. he adds another apartment The OBJ
Ject is to keep the women and babies, as
much as possible, apart, and prevent those

BREAD.-The Rhode Island Society for
the Promotion of Industry gave the first
premium on domestic bread to Mrs. Hiram
Hiii, OF Providence. The following is Mrs
1lli recipe Tor making the bread exhibited
by her: ~
For two loaves of the ordinary size take
two potatoes. pare them, slice very thin
and Doll quick until quite soft, then mash
to fine pulp, and add a little by little
two quarts of boiling water, stirring until a
starch is formed let this cool, and then
add one-third of cup of yeast. This forms
the SPONGE watch should remain in a
moderately warm place for ten or twelve
hours, or 'over night until it becomes
very light and frothy, even if little sour
1t Is OF no consequence. When the
:, sponge is ready, add flour, and work it
IN until you have formed a stiff. firm mass
The longer and more firmly this is kneaded
the better the bread.
Let the kneaded mass remain saw from
half TO three-quarterS of an hour to rise
then divide into pans, where il should re-
main say fifteen minutes, care being taken
that 1t does not rise too much and crack
then put the loaveS into a quick oven and
bake, say three-quarters of an hour IF the
oven is not hot enough the bread will rise
ana crack, II too hot the surface will harden
too rapidly and confine the loaf.

The FrGrrIyE SLAVE LAW. Attorney General
Gushing has given long and interesting opinion, in
which he shows that whenever it becomes necessary
for the United States marshal to call citizens to his
assistance to insure the enforcement of the fugitive
slave law they become themselves officers and agents
of the United States, and as such entitled to be lib
orally compensated for their services by the govern
men and not at the cost of the clament of the fug
tive. This decision arms the marshal with power
which enables him to call around him body of law
abiding men, capable of successfully resisting the
utmost efforts of mobs to thwart him in the execu-
ton of duties

DANIEL WEBSTER. Account of an interview with
him after the Baltimore Convention, by his friend,
Charles A. Stetson, of the Astor House:
"When he, Mr. Webster} came down from Wash
ington, after the Baltimore Convention, thought
him feeble and very unwell several gentlemen call
ed to see him, who noticed it. After very serious
conversation with him for some time in relation to
his personal matters and the condition of politics,
left him. Later in the day, as I came round the
corner of the entry-way, his room, he was
standing alone. I walked up to him, and put my
hand upon his breast and said to him, hope all
is right here Yes, sir, he replied am too near
God to have a single heart-burning against human
creature on the earth, but have chagrin as pro-
found as my entire nature and it is, that after hav
ing performed my duty to my southern brethren
they had neither the courage kindnsss to place me
on the record Of that contention. do not say did
not want the nomination, but [ would rather have
had their record than the nomination. was struck
very forcbly with the manner and feeling with which
he uttered these words"
WHEN TO CUT WHEAT.-A writer in the Piedmont
Wing 1--WE know nothing ourselves on the subect)
maintains that cutting wheat at the prosper time is
a matte of more importance than farmers generally
are aware of When wheat is cut from ten to four
teen days before it is fully ripe says the writer the
grain ripen the thickness of the skin rapidly ncrea-
SEES woody fibre being formed at the expense OF the
starch and sugar. By this process the quantity of
the -four is leseened and its quality deteriorated 1t
is therefore all important that the wheat should be
cut while sugar, gluten starch, water &C. still con-
stitute large proportion of the grain The same
reasoning applies to rye, barley, oats &C. This is
not theory merely, but the result of accurate and
carefully conducted experiments, made both in this
