WHAT is A MORMON "A Mormon is living
paradox; he says grace before cotlllion, swears
in his sermons, selects his text indifferently
from tho B'ble, the books Of Mormon, an alma
nae or the Presidents message, and IS perpet
uallY quarrelling for tho sake of peace. His
religion is joke, and he makes the best story
teller a chief of the quorum. He assumes dig
mites, but has not the slightest respect for
them and the effect of his piety is apparently
to put him on level with the greatest repro
bates Of the time. Ia short heis Latter Day
Saint, or in other words the last one you would
think Of calling saint.

4 On LIS TRA0K.-A correspondent of the
Boston journal, writing from New York, tells
the following:
"An incident trauspired here last week that
aas made some talk among the parties who
have had knowledge Of the matter, A lady
from the State of Maine came to this city last
week on her way to California She had as
armst two revolvers and bowie knife. The
conductor purchased her ticket in the Califor.
MA steamer aud she left ia the vessel at noon
Her story is this: A short time since her hus
band got possession Of all her wealth. converted
all he could turninto gold, and then deserted bis
family, took ship and started for the land of
gold round Cape Horn. But this is NOT the
worst worst he took with him female not his wife
tnj"teo sno tnuunrfted, tnv wife mas stufieu al
ter her recreant lord |; not from love, but from
nate not TO recover possession Of her abscond-
hg husband, but to administer deserved
chastlsement not to take him back, but 10
shoot him and his companion. Wind, weather
ana steam permitting, the lady will reach Cali
iornia some time in advance Of her abscondine
mate. lie will no doubt be rather surprised 10
meet her ladysip on the California landing Il
and unless sea-sickness shakes the wrath out
OF 1er, the meeting will not be one Of the most
eonjugal that can be imagined." 3..- Z. Il

CAN n BE TRUE9 The New York Herald
says: It has long been practice Of members
Of the British government to engage foreigners
to advocate its views abroad; thus the CheyaIier
Wikof obtained f5OO from Lord Palmerafon for
influencing the public mind inthe United States
and was still employed in diplomatic missions
when his unfortunate affair at Genoa-which is
only now about to be explained in his lookout
short his official career. It's impossible to say
what may have been the nature Of the converse
tons which are said to have taken place between
Mr. Webb of the Courier and Lord Clarendon,
but we have the word ofthe former that CONVEX
stations did take place in which our countryman
filed no mean part in amateur diplomacy.
