We cut tho following amusing letter
from the New York Sunday Times
The "Disbanded Volunteer" is retired
Soldier and traveller who has exchanged
the sword and the carpet sack for the Pen.
He is an old correspondent Of the Times
and though his spelling may not be "cor-
din to roof it will be found very signif-
cant. If his autobiography is bad, his ideas
are fine, and we trust he may be disposed
to slash awsy At the follies and frailties Of
life. .-..--.-
Letter from Disbanded Volunteer.
The veteran opens in new vein this
week. He walks into the Mormons and
their where's like an avalanche Of bricks.
Having lived in Turkey, he rightly appre-
ciates the degrading damnatory influences
of polygamy. The latter part of his letter
is more pugnant and forcible than any
thing we have heretofore seen from his
pen: 49,. #E#

Eddgurs Of the Sunday 7smes:
Doorin the last few days hey he'd con-

smart old lady, who lately past SEWN

sayins and dooins, and incummings and
outgoings, all the time she squosted in
that vicesinity. he'd heerd and red
power of stuff about the mormon and the
morwimmen and thare consanrs, before,
but this vensbul persun hes given me
sum new rinkles. The way Brighum
Yung distYibits his favers amungst his
sixty-eEht ribs is interestin and original.
All his better halves hes seprit kwarters,
and every day he rides wun of EN- out
from her own door in his carridge. and on
thare return she washes herself in bath
faverd with arimatic cents, Gums out As
bloomin as Bathsheby, dresses herself
to kill, and sets down with the norman
SoIoman to an egskwist ban9uit. In the
evenin she retires to his privit room, and
they pass the mite together in sperityul
intercourse. .n .aa.nA.H
In this way he runs throo the hull sixty
eight, takin each in her reglar turn, and
then begins agen at the opposit eend to
whar her left off. Bruther Yung has pur-
sood the same rooteen for yeers, witch
prooves thare must be plenty of pith in
that wunderful elder. think his plan is
triful plesenter and fairer than the insult
tin mode adopted in the harem of the
grand senior, whar his imperiel hyness
merely pitches his pockit hankecher at
the feet Of the lady he rekwires, as eff
she was washer-wumman cum for his,
dirty Inning.
Yung has ofishally stated why him and
his brethern desires plewrality of wives.

allows They oney want to prepar the
rite sort of tabernackles for the multitood
of little sperits lookin out for lodgins, and
witch would be shure to get inter disrepi-
tabul kwarters eff the Mormens want kon-
tinually at wurk for thare acoommydashin.
