RAREY on "BLINKERs. Mr.. Rarcy hav-
I,g been asked his opinion with regard to
use of "hlinkers" on horses, replies in
communication to the London Times, in
hich hestates that his eXpcrienc with and
observation of horses proves clearly that
thinkers should not be used, and that
c sight of the horse, for many reasons
should not be intcriered with in any way"
Horses are only fearful of objects which
ICY do not understand or are not famili-

mediums by which this understanding

a Tribute for Printers.

1t is indeed encouraging to know
that printers are occasionally duly ap-
preciatcd. The following extract from
the report of the committee on Print
ing, of the Legislature of Wisconsin,
pays refreshing compliment to edit
ors and printers
"We are aware that printers and
newspaper proprictors are class of
so little use in a community or so de-
structivc of sintercsts, as to be entitl-
ed to but half compensation for the labor
and services which they perform. But
your committee do believe that no class
of men perform more gratuitous services
for all general and local interests, or
are more actively and effectually en-.
gagged in disseminating information,
making known the resources of the
country, and iiiciting to action the encr-
gies of the people, than the printers,
proprietors and editors of newspapers. -

the brute got on the cart and be baul-
ed by his wives; but for shame, if in
deed he is capable of such feeling, he
did not, so long as VIC observed him.
Let womankind in the Christian world
pity womon in Utah. No where is
women so degraded so trampled upon
as in this country. Women here are
little else than mere chattcls, bought
by the highest bidder; or what is the
same thing, compelled for many rea.
sons of necessity to marry persons of
known fidelity to the church. Many
industrious young men cannot get wives
at all.
"All the women I have seen are
poorly clad, many of them barefooted,
and destitute almost of clothing. AS
we passed along the Provost road meet
ing hundreds of these poor deplorablc
women, many bright eye gazed at
US imploringly and hopefully, as if ex-
pectlng from us the means of their a.
melioration. l am satisfied that but
very few of them voluntarily submit
to. the plurality system at first. They
have been decoyed here by the honey
ed words and deceptive promises of
the Mormon emissarics abroad. Many
women, the best and most enlightened
IN Mormondom, practice this from ne
ccssity, who do not in their hearts be-
llcve in Mormonism, but thousands do
believe in Mormonism with all its vile
and absurd doctrines. They think
Brigham a divine prophet; the leaders
know they are impostors.'
