The Unclean Beasts.

Mr.. Loba, the Swiss gentleman who lately
escaped from Utah. gives the following ac-
count of the indecences practised by the
Mormon Apostles:
II saw that the system of polygamy was
anything but conducive to peace and happi-
ness in the human family-but only calcula-
ted to CRAFTY the carnal propensties of men,
and to destroy, at the same time, all that is
delicate, refined or noble in woman's charac-
ter, reducing her, in fact, merely to the posi-
ton Ct an article of merchandise. have
seen two young sisters sold by their own
father to Gen Horace Eldredge for some
groceries. | have seen men marry both
mother and daughter. have known anoth-
er in incestuous intercourse with his own
sister, and then Witnessed Brigham young
taking this last woman as his wife when she
was aboIt to become a mother. One of my
own personal acquaintances, w. G. Stains
one of Brighaln's favorite destroying angels
and spies-applied to the prophet for leave
to take third wife. Leave was granted.
The next day the lover appeared before Brig
ham with his betrothed, when greatly to his
astonishment that worthy changed the pro-
CRANE slightly, and married the lady to HIM
sell, as he founl her very pretty woman.
Poor Stains accepted his cruel bereavement
as trial from the Lord"

A New WAY TO CoLLEcT A DEBr.-Pass-
ing down Washington street early yesterday
morning, we observed about dozen Young
sters standing in front of house whistling.
Attracted by their strange conduct, we in
ouired of one Of the urciiins their reasons for
thus disturbing the neghborhood.
"WeI," said he, "the man what lives here
promised to give me two bits if I'd hold his
horse on Montgomery street yesterday: but
he didn't do it, and 50 we've found out where
he lived, and we're agoing to stay here and
whistle Till he turns honest aud pays his
debts
And the little fellow "puckered' again and
Joined in the general c'amor. We stood off
a short distance and in a few minutes SAW a
peice of money thrown out Of one Of the win
dows, which the boys scrambled for and with
"hurra,' started off.
This is new plan, and one which might
be adopted with success by duus when al
other means fall. We recommend its adoption
by the legal fraternity. A dozen such "whiz-
zlers" around house would be as bad as the
same number of tom cats tied together by
their tails. S. +. Call.

The Cincinnati Enquirer tells US that the
gallant Democracy in Indiana are preparing
for noble fight in the coming fall. Their
Representatives in Congress have acted a
very conspicuous part in the settlement of
the Kansas question, and there seems de-
termination on the part of the people to sus-
tain their laudable efforts. One by one, the
abest Democratic leaders who opposed the
Lecompton Constitution as originally pre-
sented, have announced that they are salts
fed with the bill reported BY Mr. English,
from the Committee Of Conference, and are
taking the stump in defense of its provisions.
The efforts of the opposition to divide the
Democracy Of Indiana upon question in
volving cardinal principle of the national
Democratic creed, having always in the end,
proved unavaiins. We trust there will be
that harmony in every portion Of the State
among the brethren of the faith, which is
alone necessary to secure an overwhelming
triumph at the approaching election.

down, measured fifteen feet through, two

The Cosr OF FEEDING BABY THE FIRST
YEAR.-Prudent persons who wish to "ronnt
the cost" before entering into any specua-
ton in those specimens OF "crying evils"
can study the following from Halls Journal
of HEALTH "A hearty infant will swallow,
during the first year of its life, fourteen
hundred pounds of milk in which are twenty
one pounds of cheese, thirty pounds Of butter
and ahundred and twelve pounds of sugar.
At six cents a quart, with the necessary
sweetnirg. each dear little creature costs for
food alone fifty dollars for the first year.
We had no idea before of the cost of the
little cluttons. But calculation is made for
babies that are brought up, as the phrase goes
by the hand, a wet nurse would cost about
three times as much more

WHEN DEATH ARRIvEs.-From the cele-
brated experiments of Chossat on inanition,
it appears that death arrives whenever the
wastes reaches an average proportion of
fourtenths. That is to say, supposing An
animal to weigh about one hundred pounds,
it will succumb when its weight is reduced
10 sixty pounds. Fishes aud reptiles were
found by Chossart to perish at precisely the
same limit of weight as warm-b blooded ami
mails, but they require period three and
twenty times as long TO do it in; thus if the
experiment be tried of starving bird and a
frog during warm weather, although both
will perish when their loss of weight amounts
to forty per cent. the one will survive a week,
the other three and twenty weeks.

WHAT RAILROAD WILL po..-The Virgin
ia and Tennessee Railroad is 2O4 miles in
length, and cost about S7,000,O0O. In 1850
the taxable value of land in the counties
through which it passes, as taken from the
census, was $os,042, t7-and in 1855 the
State assessment makes it $53,ol7,229. or
an increase in six years of 20,365,5
This sudden increase is alone the result of an
internal improvement, which has cost only
s7,O0O,O00.

Why THERE ARE Monr rlovs woMr,

Why THERE ARE More pIous Women
THAN MEN.-The reason there are more pi.
Gus women than men is not because women
are weaker or their passions less powerful,
but because feeling of dependence is native
in the female heart. 1t is because the pride
of independence has little or no place there
1t is because the female mind has to undergo
comparatively a small revolution to become
religious. One powerful barrier that stands
before the path Of every man in his approach
to the valley of humiliation does not oppose
the passage of the true woman. 1t is very
rare that those who are denominated
"strong minded women become religious.
The pride of personal independence prevents
this. So sweet and so natural thing is piety
among women that men have come to regard
a woman without it as strange, if not unheal-
thy; and goless men often select pious wives,
because they see that piety softens and deep
ems and elevates every natural grace Of per-
son, and every accomplishment Of mind.
The Placer herald., 1858-07-03

PRAYER BARRELs.-The Buddhists have
a queer mode of facilitating devotional exer
cises. A thick board is made; composed of
innumerable sheets of paper pasted together,
and upon which are written in Thibetain
characters the most reputed prayers This
board is placed in a barrel and turned on an
axle. Those devotees who have not the zeal
or the taste to pray vocally, have recourse
to the simple and expeditions medium Of t. e
prayer barrel. All they have to do is to set
the barrel in motion; it then turns of itself
for "a long time, the devotees drinking, eating
or sleeping, while the complarent mechanism
is grinding out prayers for them. Of course
they can pray by water or steam.
