FOUNDERS OF RUSSIAN Power IS THE CRI-

Times. and not general y known, that the
founders OF Russian power in the Crimea and
Black Sea were foreigners. The first of those
distinguished men was Marshal Lacy. an Irish

stroke of generaisilp he effected passage

sons, lie discovered to be partially iordable,

are the ever recurring morals which the great

pride OH the fact that Admiral Paul Jones it
was who disciplined the Russian Black Sea

discipline. maintained and handed down by sub
sequent Russian Admirals, the determined and

| The fleet supplied the batteries with gnnners,
whose bravery and unerring skill have been

stance connected with the defence of Sebasiopol
worthy OF note. A large proportion OF the ma

Female Life Amou. the Nlerm.n..

This volumne purports to be "a narrative OF
many years personal experience by the wife OF
a Mormon elder recently from Utah" 1t pre-
spnts vivid and repulsive picture of the moral
degradation which results from the practice of
polysamy. and while purporting to be strictly
| true is as Interesting as an romance. Indeed
| il is written in the form of a novel. The wri-
| ter who ought to understand her own sex pretty
well. remarks hal :" the dispositions of women
are altogether beyond the control of men. Many
husbands find 1t extremely difficult TO get along
| reasonably with one woman. Then. what can
one man do with dozen or fourteen women,
all IN one ia uiy considered equals, without
any legitimate head 7" And again:
Very few women who may have experienced
the evils of poly gamy at liberty to express
their real sentiments For instance woman,
who. To my certain knowledge, was burning with
abhorrence of the system, was entrapped into
sending long letter 10 her mother at home. in
which her situation described as most de.
srable though her husband had several wives
And that same letter got into the newspapers

was utterly ignorant of its existence IN any such
shape.
We all know that wives are kept in the back.
ground. And The worst of il is they have no
legal redress. The most that woman can do
is To conform TO her circumstances, and be sats--
fled with her lot. Who would complain whe,r
conscious that the complaint would only make
matters worse7 To appreciate poygamy, we
must have a view of its practical operation wo
must come face 10 face with it, sit at the same
table where dozen women and a multitude of
children, all The wives aad offspring of one man,
ariake their daily meals: must observe thC'

must hear their bitter recrimnations. which the
utmost authority of the husband, which the
dread of stripes. Imprisonment and divorce can
not wholly suppress.
The whole tendency of Mormonism is to per-
pe,uate the system by reducing females TO a
helpless and dependent stale. Even now, a
woman, If she expects 10 live. must have hus-'
band father on whom she can depend for

The question. If "A man wishes female labor

OS A LEv&L.-The idea in the unscIentifc
mind has prevailed to a considerable extent
that the water in the Pacific Ocean was hi cher
than that in the Atlantic. This idea Col. TOT
ten, engineer of the Panama Railroad. has de-
monstrated to be without foundation. The
Panama STAR of July 2Sth, says:
:. 1t has been lately decided by Col. Totien,
after series of careful tidal observations taken
here and in Aslinwall, (Navy Bay.) and con-
necled with accurate levels along the line OF
railroad that the mean height OF the two oceans
is exactly the same, although. owing 10 the diff
ference in the rise of the ilde at both places,
there are OF course times when one OF the oceans
is higher or lower than The other, bat their mean
level that is to say. their height at halt tide, is
now proven To be exactly the same"

v. E. GEIGER, EsQ.-It is conceded that
friend Geiger made capital speech before the
meeting on Wednesday night. This we do not

him 10 be fully equal in popular speech making
to any on the side he so ardently esponses. The
truth is, tha, v. E. Geiger would prove himself
very cold hearted and ungrateful friend, if he
failed to assist the party that has done so much
for him with pen and tongue. The remem-
brance of the past should inspire him with elo-
quence of the most melting kind when address
ing the assembled emocracy.-Saeramento
