swindling Operations.


The developments that are constantly
being made relative TO bogus lottery
firms, gift schemes, &c., would seem to
prove that this 'groat and glorious
American people," is ono Of the most
gulliblc in the world. Recently Mayor
Tiemann Of New York, through his po-
lice agents, uncarthod a large number
Of swindling headquarters at various
places in New Hampshire. Some Of
these concerns, which have been doing
large business, are Of the most trans
parent character. For instance, a BAN
que" "Grand Lcvee, or .Festival" is
announced at the Buckingham House,
Plaistow, N. H." the "City Hall, Man
chester" Wilmington, Delaware, &c,
for which tickets arc sold, each Of which
tickets is to entitle the holder TO a chance
i'm some lottery scheme, of money or
jcwelry. Strange to say, silly dupes all
over the country purchase these tickets
by the thousands-the money received
being Of course all clear gain to the
managers; the "Festival, "Grand Lev
ee, Banquet &C., never coming Off.
1t would be easy to hold such Festiv-
al, aud have a sham distribution at a
small expense, but even this pretenco
Of fair dealing seems to be needless; for
the silly gudgeons will bite Just as well
at the naked hook. In the single Post
Office at Atkinson Depot, near Haver-
hill, Massachusetts,, the police officer
found letters for the following
bogus frms:-Joel Miller & Son, Jos
letters; Harrison Rogers q Co., 60,
Kent, Marshall, Harman & Co., 4G; &.
r, Spalding, Moulton & Co., 20; G. r.
Bowen and Brothers, "a; A. i. Howe,
Wilson & Co., So; Hargrovo, Pearson g.
Co., 40; B. Z. Harper & Brothers, 81; in
| all, 45l. These had accumulated in a
single day. The Postmaster said that
sometimes a single firm would get as
many as COO in one day. So great was
the rush Of these communications that
the Office of Postmaster at Atkinson
Depot, which has hitherto been worth
but about $50 per annum, has the last
year yielded the incumbent more than
! $4,000.
1t is estimated by the authorities that
! S3,O00,OOO Of the worthless tickets Of
these bogus firms are now cxtant, the
fourth part Of which have been paid for
at the rate Of a dollar piece. The sue
cess Of such barcfaced schemes Of vii
lainy, argues an amount Of gullibility in
the community which would be almost
incredible, were it not supported by
such an array Of facts Phil. Post,

seasonabIe Kindness

Real necessity often goads men to the
commission of crime, and when the
downward course is once taken, and
self-respect is forfeited, the road to ruin
is open and is easily travelled. A kind
word, a sympathizing look and a chari-
table act will keep from the first ofense,
and save the tempted and despairing
one from the fatal fall. The following
story was related by the Hon. Albert
Fearing, at a recent meeting of a chari-
table society, as we find it reported in
the Christian Register:
Some three or four months since, as a
merchant Of Boston was busily engaged
in his counting-room, a youth about
eighteen or nineteen years Of age walk
ed in and asked, "Will you buy a cake
of soap?"
Almost without looking at him, the
merchant replied, "No, 1 do not want
any"
"Do buy a cake of soap, for I am
starving" besought the youth.
The merchant looked at the lad, aud
seeing that he had a bright, intelligent
Countenance, asked him some questions.
The youth said he was born in France,
was an entire stranger here, and again
begged him to buy some soap. The
gentleman was so pleased that he took
him to his home, or rather boarding
place, clothed him and supported him
for several days. In the meantime, the
youth looked around for some employ
ment, and after awhile obtained an offer
from manufacturer Of perfumery to so
about the country and peddle his es-
sences for eight dollars per month
This offer the gentleman advised him to
accept, and he did accept it. He went
into O neighbOring State TO dispose Of
his essences, and while there was arrest
ed because he had no license, and thrown
into Jail, where he remained several
days, A clergyman Of the place-it is
not necessary to mention his name, said
the speaker-heard Of his case, and went
to see him in jail He was so struck
by the learning displayed by the young
man, who could speak several languages,
that he got him out Of the Jail and sent
him to school. Not long after the cler-
gyman received letter from a gentle
man in another State, asking him if he
did not know fit person to teach
school in that place This brought to
his mind the youth whom he had be-
triended, and who had displayed such
abilities and requirements that he inn
mediately gave him a letter Of recon-
mendation to the gentleman who had
written to him, saying that he was com
petent to teach any school The young
man came to Boston on his way to his
school, and going to the merchant who
had first extended to him a helping
hand, and exhibiting his letter, said to
him, "Whe7 L made application 20 YOU
to- buy my soap, and you kindly assist
cd me and kept me from starving, YOU
saved me from the crime Of Stealing

and forth in front Of a store where bread
was exposed for SALE debating whether
n had not better steal than starve.--
Your benovoIonco saved me from steal
ing, and has been the means Of placing
me in the way of honorable employ
mont" The young man went his way,
and is now teaching school at the place
to which he was invited Such are the
bcncfcent results which flow from the
exercise of charity.

Interesting Letter from Utah.
GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, !

GREAT GALI LAKE IlIH,
June 18th, 1858.
The Great Utah War is at an end, so
it appears, at least for a while. You
have doubtless heard Of the entry Of
Gov. Cumming into the city, a month or
so ago, unattended by any person other
than his driver and Col. Kane. His
visit to the city, and the upright and
determined course which he pursued
while in conference with the Mormon
leaders, brought about the so-called
peace. lie gave them to understand
that he, as Chief Executive Of the Ter
ritory, would not interfere with their
persons, property or religion, but would
enforce vigorously the laws Of the Uni
ted States and Of tho Territory He
spent some weeks in the city, and was
kindly treated by the citizens He also
visited various tribes Of Indians, who
were supposed to have committed depre-
dations, and warned them Of the conse-
qucnccs Of such actions, and then re-
turned to Camp Scott, intending, as
soon as the weather would admit Of it,
to return with his family.
The Peace Commissioners arrived
here in the early part Of last week, and
were soon joined by the Governor, and
in few days thereafter by the Secrota-
ry Of the Territory. A meeting was
Immediately called, and on the 10th and
11th insts. a conference was had be-
tween Governor and Commissioners,
and the heads of the Mormon Church.
1t lasted four hours each day; there
was no small quantity Of feeling dis
played 1t is reported in the streets
that Brigham became unusually olo-
quent on the occasion; but all soon sub
sided, and conditions were agreed upon
by which the t0muhalCb was buried.
These conditions were about the same
as had been agreed upon on the Govern
ors frstyisit viz The troops were to
enter without opposition; civil officers
to be permitted to perform the various
duties of their Offices without Interrupt
ton, and an unconditional obedience
to the laws Of the land On the 9TH
er hand, all prior offences were to be
forgotten, as per Presidents proclama-
tion-by-gones to be by-gones.
This city, which six weeks ago con-
taiued not less than fifteen thousand
inhabitants, now has but little more
than one hundred they all having en-
igratod to a small town about fifty miles
south, called Provo, where they live,
some in tents, some in wagons, some
in small houses, and some without any
Of these comforts. And oven to this
day, notwithstanding the treaty Of
peace, they continue to leave the city
which they have been for the last ten
years attempting to build The roofs
of the public works, the floors Of the
houses, and all the board fencing. have
been used in boarding up the doors and
windows of the houses, All appears

only place of accommodation i'm tho

Lazy Ladies'

Tn "a Woman's Thoughts about Wo-
men, we meet with this true solution
of most Of the bad domestic manage
ment in families:
The house-mothor has her troubles;
aye, be she ever so gifted with that
blessed quality Of taking them lightly
and cheorfully. Tt is not pleasant for
lazy ladies to get breakfast over at that
regular, early hour which alone sets a
household fairly a-going for the day,
nor for unarithmctical ladies, who have
always rockoned their accounts by six
pences, to put down each item, and per-
severe in balancing, periodically, re-
ceipts and expenditures; nor for weak
ly, nervous, sclf-cngrOssed ladies to
rouse themselves sufficiently to put
their house in order and keep it so, not
by occasional, spasmodic "sotting to
rights" but by general, mothodical
overlooking Of all that is going on
therein. Yet, unless all this is done, it
is in vain TO insist on early rising, or
grumble about waste, or lecture upon
neatness, cleanliness and order. The
servants get to learn that "missis is
never in timol" "NIissis never knows
about anything" She may lecture till
she is weary about neatness and cleani-
ness. "Just put your head into her
room and see!' For all moral quail
ties, good temper, truth, kindness, and,
above all, conscientiOusness; if these
are deficient in the mistress, it is idle to
