Mr.. Seward on the Mormons.

The following from Senator Stewards late
speech, is graphic, and seems to be true:
81 am told that these Mormons will not
fight; and know that it is not until after a
long time that any power makes up its mind
to defy an imperial power like this; but, sir,
the Mormons are exceptionable in the first
place. They have not done anything but
fight since the beginning. They are an arm
ed military sect, and war is an element of
their progress. They fought themselves out
of the State of New York, when they were
but handful of men, into Ohio. They
wrangled themselves out of Ohio into Mis-
souri,. Civil war grew around them in Mis-
souri,, and they fought their way into Illinois
and established themselves in Nauvoo, and
civil war attended them from Nauvoo to Salt
Lake. They are worthless for any other pur-
pose but to fight. Their religion makes them
fighting men; for it is a religion that can
submit to no civil authority that is admins
tered or exercised over them by Christian
people. 1t is a religion which gives license,
in the name of government, and to the in
diligence of the basest propensity of human
nature. I never yet have read, never yet
have heard, never yet have seen, any super
stition of this kind that did not take in as its
weapon for proselytism, the sword"

NUMBER 80.
Marriage at an Early Day in Texas.

A license to marry is often wanted when
it can't be had but a poor one is better than
none when a man is in a hurry-namely,
the following:
In the early days of Texan independence
and youth an eccentric genius, still bliving
and reigning, was clerk of one of the West
ern counties. The village was quite secluded
in the prairies, and the Squire pastured his
cows on the broad acres around, bring
ing them home at night, and letting
them 60 to grass in the morning. He kept
bell on one of them to aid him in finding
them; but one morning, as he was letting
them loose, he perceived that the clapper Of
the bell was lost out, and being unable to
find it, he made a substitute by making fast
in the bell his office key Not till he reach
ed his office did it occur to him that he
should want the key, but now finding him
self locked out, he betook himself to other
matters, proposing to find the key at night.
About noon a rough and ready young Texan,
dressed in buckskin, came riding into town,
inquired for the clerk, scared him up, and
asked for a Marriage license.
'Sorry can't accommodate you to-day,
but it's no 60"
"Why not9 Tn going to be splced to-
night, and | must have it whether or no."
"But, the fact is" said the clerk, "my Of
flee is locked up, and my COW is gone away
with the key"
"The COW! what does the COW want with
the key"
So the old fellow told the whole story,
and the two set off for the prairie to find the
cattle and get the key. But the more they
looked the less they found, and finally had
to give it up. A bright thought struck
the clerk of the county.
"l'll fix you out" said he, and young Texas
jumped rod, so tcked was he to be fixed
out of the fix he was in. They proceeded
to store close by the office, and there the
county scribe indted the following autograph:
"RepubHc Of 7eras. TO all who shall see
this present, greeting: Whereas l. the un-
dersi gned, clerk of this county, having un.
thoughtedly tied my Office key as capper
COW has gone astray to parts unknown, bear
ing with her the said key, and therefore the
said key is non inoentus est-that is, can't be
had; and whereas, one Abner Barnes has
made application to me for marriage license,
and the said Abner persists that he cannot
wait until the COW comes back with the KEY,
but is compelled by the violence of his feel
ings and arrangements already made to get
married. Therefore these presents are to
command any person legally authorized to
celebrate the rights Of matrimony, to join
the said Abner Barnes to Miss Rebecca
Downs and for so doing this shall be your
sufficient authority
"Given under my hand and private seal
on the doorstep of my oflice-the seal of
the office being locked up, and my COW hav-
ing gone away with the key-this thday
of October, in the year A. ID. 1888.

Counting their Chickens Before they are
Hatched,

The enthusiastic Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Courier d. Enquirer,
thus explains the calculations Of the combin-
ed opposition in Congress:
"lf Lecompton be defeated the combined
opposition Of Republicans and liberal Demo
Gratis, with the honest portion Of the South
Americans, will take immediate possession
Of Congress, and obtain perfect control of
the country"
The Washington Star says: 1--WE need
hardly assure one here Of the folly of such
anticipations. Nevertheless, we reproduce
the paragraph thus, because it exemplfes, in
glowing light, the "cheek" involved in the
claim of Senator Douglass and his cohort in
still claiming to be Of the Democratic party,
whose organization he proposes to overthrow,
if he can accomplish, that end, in order to
place in power the Republican party, if by
that means he can retain his seat in the
Senate of the United States"

Baron Munchausen.

Miss Brewster daughter Of Sir David)
in her "Letters from Cannes and Nice," says:
"Baron Munchausen is at Nice! My father
met him at picnic the other day, and
heard from him the history of his celebrated
namesake. One of his ancestors had chap
lain who was famous for drawing low bow,
told, in fact the most false and extravagant
stories. His patron, the Baron of those days,
wrote book out-Heroding Herod, being a
collection of still more marvellous adventures,
for the purpose of shaming the priest, for
which laudable design he was punished, by
having his own name held up to posterity as
the story-teller par ercellence." This shows
that it is very dangerous thing to lie, even
in jest The Munchausens are Hanover
ian family.

THREEFoLD CALIFORNIA MAIL ROUTE
PLAN.-Mr Scott has given notice of bill
authorizing mail contracts via Panama, Te-
huntepec and Nicaragua, which, if passed,
would secure service by one or two routes,
even though the third should fail, Besides,
he considers that the competition between
the three would be sure to reduce the rates
of passage to the lowest possible sum for
which the business can be done. The i'm
preston is that no new contracts will be
authorized this year, except single years
extension of that between Panama and San
Francisco,
