Hrs HOLINESS TIE Pope UPON FREE
MAsoNs, ODD FELLOWS, &c.-In the
Louisville American Free Mason We
find the following notice of the Allocu-
tion of his Holiness the Popo of Rome,
against Free Maso ons and Odd Fellows
He calls them AN impious race who
would gladly exterminate all religion:
worship and who, bound together by
a criminal compact are guilty Of '.the
violation of every law He even pro.
nounced them the children of the
Devil We have no doubt that his
great dread and horror of both Free
Masons and the Odd Fellows rest upon
the fact that they have the bible spread
out before them in their Lodges, and
that they avowedly adopt it as the great
guide of their lives.

direction it would be blessing to the

But there seems to US to be one great
difficulty in the way Of practical polyga-
my, and one which would seem to mako
it an imposslbility in its general applioa-
tion. And that is, equality in the num-
bers of the two sexes. If Brigham
Young treats himself to some fifty or
sixty wives, of course there must be
some fifty or sixty of bis subordinates
who must be wifeless so that this part
of the faith cannot be practically carried
out. It is we'll known that in Mahom-
medan countries the single wife system
prevails among the common people
The chief men indulging in harem as
a sort of ostsntation, and such must be
the case in Mormon practice, if it should
ever become fixed fact, which from
present appearances seems not by any
means an improbability. Doseret will
soon be making application for admission
as one of the States Of the Union. Then
will como the trial. Each political
party will be anxious to secure the aid
of the applicants, and none will dare
deny their admission-plurality of wives
and all. Once in, the Mormons will
make themselves felt. The immense
army of religious fanatics which Brigham
Young holds in command, is not to be
looked upon as too Insignificant for no.
tice. The doctrine now counts its ad.
herents by hundreds of thousands, ane
converts are continually aocking in. Il
strikes US as being a question of serious
apprehension to the people Of this eoun'
try what the result Of al this will prove
to be. e

Don't let them. Anger is pure waste

The TRUE MODE TO ENCOURAGE ART.-It
may well be matter of doubt and disputation
whether the existence of art unions, or other
kindred associations for the encouragement of
art, has, on the whole, been productive of more
benefit or mischief to society in general, and to
the class which they were intended to benefit
in particular. They have been, to be sure, in
strumenta in popularizing the love of the beauti-
full in nature and art, by placing within the
reach Of all the denizens OF large cities, where
they were instituted, facilities to inspect and
admire the works Of the best painters. Aud so
far they have been useful in their day and gene
ration. But as an Offset to this advantage, the
propensity for gambling, the love of risk the
taste for lotteries, which they engendered aud
fostered in the public mind, must not be disre-
garded. 1t was serious evil this, outweighing
all appreciable benefits, and has brought art
unions into disrepute, not only in New York,
where the American Art Union was adjudicated
to be an illegal concern, but also in many of
the great cities of Europe. Then, as regarded
their beneficial influence on art and artists, that
too was quite as problematical. Through them,
it may be admitted young artists, perhaps with
out name or reputation, found an easy way to
have their works and names brought before the
notice Of the public and some minds not sufR-
GENTLY imbued with the love of art per Sc may
have been stimulated into study and exertion
by the force of rivalry. But it needs not the
application Of any such artificial process to
bring out real genius. Wherever it exists, it is
bound, even against adverse circumstances, to
make itself felt and recognized. And as to ar
lists Of mediocre order, though they might
have the poor satisfaction Of having their paint
ings hung up in obscure corners of an exhibit
ton room, that circumstance brought no larger,
but more probably much smaller, number Of
visiters to their studio.
We are impressed with the conviction that
the real, veritable mode of encouraging art is
not merely by furnishing an exhibition room
to suspend paintings in, but by affording facli-
ties to artists to dispose of their paintings.
That is the true desideratum. IL is poor sat.

sacrifice, and you confer upon him a real tan
