Emile de Girardln, at 40 francs a year, and
his example was Immediately followed by the
Steele. Their success was enormous; within
three months the Presse had upwards of 10 600
subscribers, and soon reached 10000. The
Steele was still mora lucky, as it was favored
by the attacks made on Girardin about the
Carrel affair. Within a few years it attained
tho fabulous amount Of $4,000 subscribers.
The undOu5ted cause Of this success was the
publication of rOmances in the feI,tLcfOH.

WOMAN IN THE HIRELING STATEs-A letter from
esteemed lady correspondent, in one ofthe called
free States, but more truly named hireng States, in
the Far West, gives the following graphic portrait
ture Of female white slavery in that region of theo
retical freedom, where, far at least woman is
concerned, it is the custom to keep the promise to
the and break it to the hope"
although we have not the peculiar institution
in these free States necessity imposes terrible
servitudc on poor free born woman ; and nothing
is common than the total transfer of all domes-
tic labor to the mistress of the family (asey CALI
ed here) by the hired girl at any moment it may
suit her convenience, or pleasure. This has been
my own case, with little intermi>son, since my
j. vel felt her importance and founced away in
June last What would my Southern friends think
to come on me suddenly. and see acting cook,
chamber maid, dinner waiter, in a word maid Of
all work. But such indeed is the fact and too
true to be joke Such arc the comforts that
women themselves are vindicating in their opposi-
ton to the black mans slavery, unmndful Of their
own bondage to their so-styled free institutional

in bondage, all thought of universal enancipa
ton, $50 far woman is the object) would die
natural death. Certain it is that the Abolitionisls
themselves impose more heary 'ro,k on their own
wives than slave holders do their slaves expect
ing their better halves with all the of wife,
mother and nurse, to do the whole work of the
house, yard add garden besides-in a word, as much
as six of your darkies will do, or are even required
to do" ..-.

CoNFIDENcE-AN INcIDENT.-An incident that &C.
CURED in this city, in 1887, is good iustra-
ton Of the value of confidence in money as in all
other matters, that it may we'll be repeated An ell
derby French gentleman, having ten thousand dol
lars which he had loaned to merchant, simple
interest," was panicstruck like others, and called up
on his debtor and politely demanded payment. 30

keeper, draw a check in favor of Mr.. Crapeau for
ten thousand dollars" The Frenchman looked sur
prised, and. with some eagerness, said Have you
chant, and ready to pay it." "Aha-very we'll
very well-dat is all right; if you have de money
no want him but if yeu no have de money I want
him badl" and be bowed himself out, leaving the
money with the merchant. Comment is unnecessary.

TOMR OF DAVID.

The mysteries of the Tomb of David are at last
revealed to the Christian world by an ingenious ruse
Of Miss Barclay, for some years resident of Jeru

the very tomb of the prophet David" for more
than six centuries in the jealous custody of the Turks

friend, in the person of liberal minded and very
beautiful Turkish girl, who initiated her Pilgrim

at the shrnes of their Lords and Prophets David
and Solomon. Her devotional feelings were put to
strong test observing this devotee of Islam take
the saturated wick from an oil lamp. and deliberately
devour it act Of religious devotion. After her
form of prayer had ended, she raised the splendid
slken canopy, hanging the tumulus, containing
the body Of David and there, in royal state was the
veritable sarcophagus of David, having its marble
grapes-the emblem of the Jewish architecture
and other ancient devices which she carefully trans
ferred to paper yet to be presented the public in

Adviccs from Utah, by way Of CAL

sion among the Mormons, and the
supposition that q large number Of
them will gladly exchange Brigham
Youngs tyranny for the protection Of
life and property which the authori-
ties and the laws Of the United States
will afford them. sApostacy' from
Mormonism will become very COM
mon, IL not almost universal, after
Brigham Young shall be deprived of
the prestige and the authority which
the Federal Government has 10 long
afforded him, by suffering him TO hold
the Office ofGovcrnor for seven years,
and three years after the expiration
os his term. The Mormons might
we'll have been induced TO believetbat
the power Of Brigham Young would
DO as permanent rs his audacity, and
that the Federal Government would
not presume 10 interfere with or con-
troll him,
The California accounts OF Nor
mon abuses are more revolving than
any before received from any quarter,
showing, as they do, that numbers of
Mormons who have been suspected of
disaffection towards Brigham Young's
tyrany are daily assassinated by his
janissaries, whom he calls "destroy-
ing angels II any part Of these
accounts be verified 70 the United
States, Governor Young ought TO be,

cd and punished for felony and treas
on. IL Is not in the nature of things
that such institutions can continue,

tenn TO which their leaders have sub
