The President, a short time ago, received a let
ter from Professor Silliman ana others, including
several doctors of divinity of New Haven, object
ing to employment by him of United States for
ces to execute the so-called laws of Kansas and
assuring him that they will cease not to pray
that he may have a proper course of duty pointed
out to him, or something to that effect. To this
letter the President has just replied briefly but
pointedly, denying their premises, and question
ing their knowledge of those laws and, after ac-
knowledging their validity, he calmly assures
them that. by the help of God, he will enforce
them in accordance with his oath of office.
DESTRUCTION OF 1000 BARRELS OF WHISKY
Last week in Cincinnati an extensive four story
brick house fell in with a tremendous crash under
tho pressure of nearly sixteen hundred barrels OF
raw whisky, owned and stored in the I'd, Sd and
4th stories of this building by Calvin Fletcher,
Esq.
The building was new and had been completed
only;about six weeks. 1t was 80 feet front, and
60 feet depth, and four stories high. The build
ing was erected by Casper Geist. On the west
side was an eight foot alley, and on the east a
three foot passage extending the whole length of
the building. A German, named Meyer, EN- ploy-
ed in the building, says that nearly sixteen hun
bred barrels of whiskey had been raised up, and
piled two tier deep on the second, third and
fourth stories, the weight of which has crushed
out the side walls and precipitated the four stories
into a confused mass of ruins in she cellar.
Elder Hyde says in his book on the Mormons
that a great proportion of the children born IL
pologamy, at Salt Lake are females and the more
wives a man has the greater is the proportion Of
female children. There is also a fearful mortality
among the Mormon children. More children die
in Salt Lake City, Notwithstanding he!salubrity Of
its climate, than in any other city of its size is
the Union. According to their census, the NOR
tality of Utah is next to that of Louisiana, and the
large pro portion is children. SaltLake City!is there
fore nearly as unhealthy as New Orleans. Brig
Young considering the number of his wives, has
bu! q very NAL family. not over. thirty chill
dren. His houses are filled with his women, but
his children are in their graves.
INTERESTING TO DENTISTS AND THEIR PATIENTS
DIR. j. B. Francis of Philadelphia has invented
what he calls a galvanic forceps, which is intend
ed as q relief to the extracting teeth. 1t is a com
bination of the ordinary forceps, with a galvaniC
arrangement attached, whereby the nerve OF the
tooth may be charged with a %galvapic influence
and its sensibility be suspended. In this condi'
ton the extraction will be without the pain usual
ly accompanying the drawing of a tooth in high
state of inflammation .-Ecening Post.
The Democratic platform adopted at Columbus
Ohio, has a southern head, Taneyface, crawtist
body, bloodhound legs, and split hoofs. How
much stump water and strychnine will be requir
ed to boost it ahead in October is more than any
professor in hydraulics can at present estimate.
We strongly suspect. that the Republicans vii
give Chase and run the hypocritical Democracy of
The track entirely. They will make free use Of the
