rTThs Charleston Is. C.) Mercury calls
attention TO IN alleged diihculty In the way
Of Congress interfering with the Mormon
system OF plurality of wives, in the Terri
tnry OF Utah. Il says:
"Polygamy, - it Is 40 called among the
Mormons, 10 only concubinage. No form Of
marriage 10 executed between the parties.--
Brigham Young, or one Of HE seefs, says 10
. woman that she ID sealed to such man,
and che goss aud lives with hin. Brigham
calls all who are sealed to him wives, bus
they are only concubines. Now 10 there any
Law of the United States making concubia-
age crime? Some Of the States make
adultery apunishsbls offence in their coufts.
But there is no suoh . law enacted BY Con.
grcss for the Territory. The concubinags
Of Mormonism may, therefore, continue In
existence with the full authority of the Uni
ted States in this Tcrritory.''
MYSTERIOUS DrsxAsz.-rhs ssNasional Ho-
tel disease'' has suddenly made ito appssr-
ance in the capital OF Russia. A letter from
St. Petersburg, June 18th, in the Brussels
Independence, says:
"Scveral families have, during the last
few days, been thrown into mourning in .
very melancholy and distressing nannsr.--
After dinner, which took place at the 10.
atitu.ion of st. Catharine, = large sduca-
tional establishment for the dang hters OF the
mobility, under the patronage Of the EN-.
press, u number Of the young persons who
we're present on the occasion were taken
suddenly i'll. Five Of them died within
four-nnd-tweuty hours, and yesterday the
sixth was in the greatest danger. Tho Ooun-
tess de Morny, who had boon educated Ct
st. Catharine, was present at the dinner, and
has since been seriously indispossd.
The Emperor after yards visited tho estab-
lishment, and ordered most searching in
vestigation to be instituted, bat nothing has
yet been discovered to throw light on ths
subject"
A CHEAP AND EFFICIENT BARoxsrus.-A
barometer for the use Of farmers and
others, may be made, equal to Lsoni's
Weather Prognosticstor, by dissolving soas
canphor in alcohol and throwing Into the
solution some soda. The oAnphor 10 prsoip-
itated into snow fakes. These arc collected
by passing tho mixtures through filter, and
put in vial with clear slsohol, in which -
much camphor - it would take has been die
solved. The vial should be corksd and put
where it will mot be disturbed, and il will
be found An almost unsrring index Of the
weather. In hne weather, the substance will
rest on tho bottom, but on the approach Of
storm il will rise to the surface, with .
tendency to the quarter opposite to that
from which the storm 10 ooming--the fakes
