PauvretteH ! was last night produced to full
and fashionable audience. Though there were
some little hats and bitches of the kind which ne.
eessary attend the first representation of piece
in which brilliant new scenery and startling ma
chinery are introduced, and in which actors and
actresses appear for the first time in characters of
the first agony from the French sensation school,
the representation received that amount of appro-
bation which stamped it not only a success, but a
triumph. The fine scenery and the delicious act
ing won the complete admiration of ALL We have
not time now to particularize; but we shall do SO
the first opportunity Meantime, we assert that
Pauvrette is an intellectual feast, which, French
it is, has yet no poison in it, and should be en-
jeyed by everybody.

MORMON IDEA or HEAVEN S--Elder Middle.
mas, one Of the Saints Of MOrmondom, In u
recent sermon at Salt Luke City, thus ga .
his ideas of Heaven:
do not believe that Heaven is that fairy,
airy place Of fancy that most people think II
is. 1t is n LonH .hde place Of materially;
much resembling the earth, only; Of course; it
is thousands of times larger, and everything
that exists in greater perfection than the
things Of this Garth II is globe just like
this planet we inhnbit. 1t is home Of God
and the Angels. Tint passage in the Scrip.
lures which reads, A day with the Lord il
thousand years, and thousand years as
day, " clearly establishes the fact that HeavI
en- is planet, q notable globe, governed by
the same natural laws and astronomical prin-
ciplcs that this earth is governed by; but it
is so much larger than our little star, that it
takes 3Gj, 900 times longer to make a revo-
luton upon its orbit than the earth. So We
see that it is a fact that one Of Gods days,
or a tny in Heaven, is thousand of years.
They cat and drink and sleep in Heaven
the same as we do here. Earth is emphat-
iraify mtHaturc tiCavcn. bGfivG they
haze printing Office in Heaven aud electric
ttlcgraphs and short hand reporters. Why
not? Are they not greater than we on earthf
| believe there is channel Of communication
extending from my mouth to the home of the
angels, and probably an angel at the telegraph
office in Heaven is now waiting for the news
from here, and as soon as he gets it he will
take it right up to the hands of the printers
they will set it up in type and print it in
newspapers, and then boys or men will Jump
on horses and ride around, giving the inhab-
itantS of Heaven the latest news concerning
the Kingdom os God OH earth. There arc
more than two reporters thrrc-morc than
brother Long and brother Watt; believe
there is reporter here from Heaven to find
out who is speaking, what lie is speaking
about, ana everything else of interest. He
sends the items, as fast as he gets hem. right
up to Heaven; aud there they are printed.

THE FrNns OF THE UNITED SrATss.-A late
number of the Washington States containsan
interesting article on the subject of invest
ments in the United States funds The ques-
tion is asked, "Who invests in United Stats
fundsY" to which pointed reply is made -
Most Of the dividends are paid in New York,
and many Of the names on the books arc "a.
mliar as household words. Some are those
of Europeans; others of West Indians, and
even Asiatics. Barely a third of the public
debt IL held IN this country. Tho bulk of it,
wo imagine, Is held in continental Europe
One is not surprised to find the names Of
John j. Astor, Jacob Little, George Peabody,
VIM. b. AstOr, and such men, in the list Of
the creditors Of the United States, but they
and their cOuntrymen are in the Minority
The heaviest foreign creditor is Lord Over
tone, 1.-THE famous John Lloyd, who has lent
this country no less than three hundred and
litty thousand dollars. A Spanish lady. Mer-
ccd dc LayScca, is our creditor to the tune Of
two hundred thousand dollars, and Q noble
friend Of hers, the Count Casa MontlAvoy
Castillo, draws six per cent on one hundred
thousand dollars. Several persons connected
with the royal families of Europe are credit
Ors Of ours. The brother Of the king of Ma
pies took fifty Thousand dallars some years
ago, and instructed his agent to invest ShU
dividends as they ateSued, in the same nssus
rity. He now owns seventy ave thousand
dollars. His niece Is registered e. Q eEslIloR
for over fifty thousand dollars.

Tobacco.


There are two plants, the produce chiefly OF
the Southern States, tho yalno which, as commod-
tiles of export, equal all the other exports of tho
country put together, viz: cotton and tobacco.
Tobacen is Indigenous to the soil Of America.
and has always shown u preference for the States
of Virginia and Maryland The tobacco plant is
Que OF those sources Of national wealth which M
ture has assured to US by peculiar adaptation Of
soil and climate for ito production. and which M
other country, excepting perhaps the Island OF
Cuba possesses in NJ. .equal degree. The tobacco
plantations may be certainly calculated upon as
yielding from thirty.ive to forty millions of dol
lars annually. For tho last forty years, tho crop
has shown II steady inorcase it is. however, chief
" during late years that the production has most
largely extended In lS2l, tho value Of tho
tol aeeo exported was Sb,6lS.962, and for fifteen
years he amount taken for foreign consumption
continued to average about that ynlue. In 1886
tho expur, reached l0ois,6i aud in 1871. ST.
$40, ,1U3, from which point it huctuated down t.
about nr and n half millions of dullars, until in
