 FEMALE ARTs.-The Providence Post has the following very sensible remarks in relation to the arts of the female sex to at tract the notice of gentlemen:
 Newspaper editors have great deal to say against the kind of education which our young ladies get, and the arts which they resort to, in attracting the notice and winning the affections of the gentlemen. They should remember that the young la dies are educated for a market. A modest, plain speaking, unaffected, and very art less young lady will stand little chance of getting husband, where gew-gaws, low necked dresses, simpering, giggllng, Hrl- ing and scheming are advertised for. Is it not shamefulIy true that the best young women are overlooked, even by very sem sible young men, in their search for wives, while the butterflies are married of by scores? Undoubtedly, the sensible young man says to himself, when he sees these two characters together, that he would mach prefer the artless, modest, plain speaking woman for wife, but at the same time he prefers the butterfly for flirting purposes; and he finds year af- rewards that flirting led to marriage, and marriage to wretchedness. Whose fault | is 1t more than his own? s

From the New York Evening Post THE UNDER DOG IN THE FIGHT.

BY DAVID BARKER. Iknow that the world, that the great big world, From the peasant up to the king, Has different tale from the tale tell, And different song to sing. But for ME--and I care not single fig If they say 1 am wrong or am right, shall always go for the WEAKER dog, For the under dog in the fight. Iknow that the world, that the greatbig world, Will never for aInomeat stop, @ To see which dog may be in the fault, 8sa But will shout for the dog on top. sf But for ME, shall never pause to ask M Which dog may be in the right, For my heart WILT. beat, while it beats at all, For the UNDER dog in the fight. 'a Perchance what Eve said, had better not said, Or 'twere better I'd said it INcoG. But with heart and with glass filrd chock to
 the brim, saiiassgs Here's health to the BOTTOM dog.

 BATHING THE DEAD SEA.-A pleas ant correspondent of the Boston Post, writing from Jerusalem, thus humorously describes his Dead Sea bath
 The Dead Sea has nothing of the des- olalion which 1t has been the pleasure of travellers to describe, and 1t seemed to smile at the secret dread with which Il in- spires the pilgrim. l, of course, took bath here; and for swimmer who has a fancy to keep his legs as well as his head out of water, can imagine 1t must be quite pleasant. My French friend, who is not li,lle inclined to corpulency, com. lplained that he could not get down into the water, and foated about, now one side up, now another, for all the world like ar | inflated bladder. Onsemerging from tho water 1t was rapidly eyaporated by tht sun; and the salt cryslalizing on ou bodies, gave us the appearance of anima ted sticks of rock candy, or family re semblance to Lots wife. With a sensa Ition upon our skin. as if we had beel pickled for family use, and with taste il our mouth compounded of Glauber salt and assafetida, we concluded tbat one batl in the Dead Sea was enough for life time.

An Amiable Amusement of the Lion


 Among the numerous fearful stories with which Gerard, the French Lion Hunter, regales his readers. we find the following description of trait in the character of the king of beasts:
 The lion treats man very differently from any animal that he is accustomed to kill for food. If he kills person who has fired at him he never eats the body. | If he meets in his nightly promenade man well clothed in burnous. his experi- ence shows him. that he is not marau- der, and he may either kill him for food, or if the fancy happens to take him., he will killhim by fear, little by lillle, just as a pastme.
 In the first case he will give him bare- ly time enoughto to say his prayers, and then bounding on him, will crush his head with a single bite, instead of strangling him, as he is accustomed to do with other animals.
 In the second case, he sometimes will bar the passage of the unfortunate fellow | by lying down before him, and then he will walk along by his side, purring and 1 showing his teeth like tiger. Some- l times he makes believe to go away and | leave him alone, and then making a long detourhe will conceal himself along the path, and charge at him with roar. Sometimes he crouches down like cat and bounds on his victim, who gives him self up for lost, but the tantalizer only knocks him over with his paw, or, walk 1 ing around him, strikes him in the face with blow like fail his muscular tail. At last the victim succumbs to the agony that IS greater than thousand deaths, and dies of fear.
 These paslimes of the lion, that as one can well imagine have never been told by the victim himself, are reported by his comrades, who having been in company, sought safety by flight, by taking refuge on rocks or trees, while the poor soul that was captured, too much frightened to imi- tate their example, died before their ex- ample, died before their eyes of terror, while they could do nothing for his relief but pray to the Prophet, who only heard when it was too late to save. l These attacks, so horrible in their fas- cination, have given certain semblance of proof to the universally accredited be- lief in the magnetizing power of the lion.

| j. GEN. JACKSON AND THE MINIsrER.-- In the editorial correspondence of the Nashville Advocate, appears the follow ing interesting reminiscence
 must tell of an interview with Gener- al Jackson, which brother Springfield with myself had, about twenty days be- fore the Generals death. We were rid- ing along. and called at the Hermitage. General Jackson was sick, and not see- ing company, but the name of Thomas Stringfield was password Stringield had been a soldier under him-a Chris tian soldier, he was converted at eight years of age-and through the war was steadfast and brave. We were shown into room where the old warrior and statesman sat feebly in his arm chair. The greeting between him and my bsssth- CT Springfield was hearty, 1t was like the meeting of brothers long parted. The sight of his soldier in arms. and the thoughts recalled, put the old soldier in tears. They coursed down his furrowed cheeks. Gen Jackson was man of tears notwithstanding his iron nature.
 An. MT. Springfield, what times have been since we first met! You were a boy, in "a camp at Eumucfaw. and your head was bleeding from an Indian bullet So it was, and brother Stringfeld's s forehead bore the scar to his grave. He was modest man, and quickly turned the conversation from himself.
 We'll, General, you are weak and failing now, how is it with your soul
 What are your prospects beyond the grave 2,
 To which Jackson replied: My friend, am not afraid to die.' A pause-' My hope is in the Redeemer of the world; if saved, shall be sinner , saved by grace
 The place was turned into sanctuary. We all wept The farewell was touching. Good bye, General; God bless ysu.
 Farewell, MT. Springfield lhope we
 will meet where wars are no more s And doubtless they have met--the e General and his soldier, not as at first ' but where,
 s z No rude alarms of raging foes, ? No cares disturb the long repose." e He is the wisest and best man who
 crowds the most good actions into now.

GREAT salt LAKE CITY,
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. 1859.

VIZ do not believe in apologies; but
feel that we owe our readers one this
week for the extraordinary length Of
our Court reports. Our reporter has.
been most -worthily particular in
sending US full minutes. We profess
to be lawyers, and these matters have
interest to US that possibly many Of
our readers may not appreciate. If
we err on the start Of our race, it is
through desire to give . full budget,
and let the people have chance to
judge for themselves, Of passing events,
causes and effects. Full well are We
assured that correct records Of the
courts Of Utah, and honest diaries Of
federal officials, would be the most Eff
fectual yindication Of the character Of
our citizens.
The records Of the court show how
nearly correct we we're in our prognos-
LEGATIONS in the Mckenzie case. How
safe it always is to tell the truth.
Right here We wish to make an
humble suggestion to everybody. The
day is gone BY when lying scoundrels
can palm Of all their rascality upon
II - y - 44 ~
the citizens Of Utah. We wish every
scoundrel, pretended Saint or ac-
tual sinner, Mormon or Gentle, to fa-
ther his own yagabondism, no matter
What his position or how numerous his
friends; and what honest man breads the
issuep To officials We purpose giving
our attention, and anatomizing
their Official department strictly and
truthfully. The systems Of sEindling,
carried on in the United States, are
becoming more and more numerous.
We have some notion Of taking q
glance at their progress, and limiting
once in . while to our fellow-kings oil
America Of the impositions practised
upon US by our public servants. Or
cials, while they are in Office. are public
property, and as such we shall deal
with them. We said SO on the out
set, and shall stick to it. The need
Of praise shall not be denied, nor the
scOurge withheld, when merited.

our judges trample the laws under their

to see the time when our wives, and

ternoon Or twilight walk, without being
insnlted BY the foolish coxcombs who
feed upon our own hard earnings.
These things we wish to see; and, our
good friends, WE SHALL SEE THEM!
A word, before closing, about the
Court at Nephi. Without lengthy
comments we shall state two Or three
facts. OF the Grand Jury who sat at
Nephi and indicted Mckenzie, fourteen
were from Camp Floyd, and several Of
them said 70 be gamblers. OF the
Traverse Jury who tried Mckenzie,
ten were residents Of Camp Floyd and
vicinity Il is but just, however, here
e say, that some q tne jurors from
Camp behaved lairly ana nonoraply
IN their deliberations.
Our most magnanimous and highly
esteemed Chief Justice, you made q

have our minds decidedly made up
against the use Of both. Our reason
for placing them together is, that King
Alcohol generally commands when the
revolver is used, and without whose
inspiration the revolver, in the hands
Of the mass Of men and boys who car
~ one in our city, would be as harm-
less as grandmother's spectacles that
lie on tho table. We are opposed to
men carrying arms in our city limits.
There is no excuse for the practice to
be kept up any longer, and We hope
that our city authorities viii inquire
into the expediency Of passing law
that will tap the purse Of all offenders.
PIC such q law be enforced, We will pre-
dict that ere many moons wax md

CoAL.-In our last we spoke Of .
newly discovered coal bed on the Weber
River; since which time we have had
the pleasure to know that q load of coal
from this identical bed, has been
brought to the city BY Mr.. William H.
Kimball, a fine specimen of which now
lies on our table, open for the inspec-
ton Of all who may see fit to call and
examine for themselves. Mr.. Kimball
informs us that the coal mine is within
forty miles Of the city, and that coal
can be delivered in the city at rates
much less than are now paid for wood;
or the coal can be furnished atthe bed,
at rates that will warrant persons in
drawing their coal for fuel from the
Weber, in preference to hauling wood
from the kanyon. These propositions
are based on the fact that one ton OF
coal is worth four loads Of maple wood.
The quality Of the coal taken from this
bed has been tested BY the most expe.
.rienced blacksmiths Of the city, and BY
them pronounced as above stated. For
further particulars call on Spriggs and
Kimball.
