And not the least Of them ell is spiritual-

rapidly it has spread; how many men of
vast intellectual power have embraced its

no one can say who has examined tho sub.

MORMON CosTUME.-The ladies' of Utah
have adopted new costume, which seems
to be gradually increasing in favor. 1t
consists Of loose fitting dress, resembling
in cut, mans sack coat, being buttoned
in front, and reaching few inches below
the knees, pair Of pautaletts adorning the
head, being in TACT modification of the
Bloomer costume. The ladies are thus re-
lieved ol superabundant load Of petit
coats; and their husbands are freed from
paying for more than two thirds the usual
quantity Of dry goods.
This, perhaps, will answer very well

lowed to have any number Of wives that
fancy may dictate and his purse support.
