THE JAPANESE ADMIRAL AND THE
LADIES. Ladies' were debarred from
listing the japanese corvettee while
it lay at San Francisco. But two
French ladies' were determined to see
the decks of the foreign ship, the
feminine lexicon, like that of youth,
contains no such word as fail. Ac-
cordingly, by the .connivance Of their
husbands, they donned the distin.
guished articles of the masculine uni.
form, and clambered up the ships
sides. AS Frenchmen they we, re-
ceived with remarkable politeness,
and carried on a lively conversation
with the Admral-the only drawback
being that neither could understand
the others language. But when they
prepared for departure, and extended
their hands to the Admiral in taking
that distinguished Japanese perceived
a rat and summoning an attendant,
presented the pseudo gentlemen with
a variety of magnificent hair pins,
bracelets and furs, remarking that
though a japanese, he was still u man
and could detect the pressure OF a la.
shan The untair visitors blush,
ed and acknowledged the trowsers.

other evening. and 1 was wondering
why k had 50 lost the beauty

famous. Oh it is because he never

have the mind chiseling away at the
features, if you want handsome mid,

mark ] have ,besu on the watch, at
the theatre, opera and other places to
see whether it is generally true---and

mirable sculptor at work keeping his
fine lines in repair, and constantly
going over his face to improve the
design.

TrueGgeatnes is.

Who are the truly grea;7 Not al
ways those who occupy high posi-.
tion among the sons of earth. 1t may
not be those who have toiled up edu
cations steep, and who have ascendcd
to what men call fane's highest PIN
nacle Of renOwn, whose eloquence en-
chains the minds Of millions, and who
sways them at his will. 1t may not
be him who has thousands of votaries
that bow at his shrine, for wealth and
friends may gain man a high position
midst his .el!ow-men, even if not de-
serving. 1t is not always those that
occupy the highest positions that are
most deserving, very far fromit.-
The truly great are those that do not
strive to obtain a high position among
the sons OF earth, but whose greatest
motto is to do good, and benefit his
fellow men, regardless Of self and the
opinions of the fashionable and
wealthy ones Of earth. Live not for
thy6elf but for others, is the rule
which he Is striving to carry out, and
when he shall enter the scenes of
another life, for his noble actions and
philanthgopic zeal he shall receive a
hever'iading crown o. glory. We
need build no monuments to such
worth as thls-monuments that would
pierce even to the clouds would ba
lar too insignificant: their monuments
are their noble deeds imperishably en-
craven in the hearts OF those whom
they have benefited. Let us so live
thai when we have finished this life
we shall be enabled to Gay We havo
done right, and be this the enduring
monument to perpetuate our name.

Tho South, becoming more logical and con.

meeting her Utah friends half way. II Utah
defends the sum Of MI the villainics tlls South
must defend the Eum Of NIL the denominations.
They stand by the same supposed authority,
both in opposition to tho better precepts and
and higher morality Of the Christian faith
which the Saviour taught: and if ono falls, the
other goes to Tho ground. The statesmen who
have shaped this government III such way
that it las become machine for the propaga-
tion Of despotisn, are too keen not to sec the
dilemma in which they arc placed by the bill
now before tho House Of Representatives, b7
which Polygamy is made punishable as a
crime. rCongrcss may Lake hold Of aud flag

at na,lght the dead and fulfilled sanctions of
tho Old Testament in relation 10 the plurality
Of wives, what reverenlial awe will impel
them to keep their sacrelig;ous hands Of tlat

chopplng Of logic, what Justification Of history,
what ons!aughts upon truth, will rot DO Under

may not he beaten down and destr,yed? Tls
New Orleans Crescent strikes the ke;-aotc, as
follows:
j.. The proposed Law may be sl.ictly constitu-
tlonal IN Its letter, Jet not so in its spirit. The
spirit of our Constitution is selcaoycrnmfnt
Ccnglcss may have the right Of supervision
ovsr the laws Of TeTritories, but why furce
upon ttelr inhabitants laws by which they are
unwilling to be governed: What tyratnr could
70 further than shat? People Should not, Of
course, be allowed 10 govern themselves by cus-
tens which are contrary 10 tho laws Of nature
They should not be allowed TO lcEalize murder
and theft: But polssany is not, in itself, an
o1ense Of this nature, since God himself has
permitted it, 1t prescribed by Christianity
only, and hence tie question is merely i re!isi-
GUS one. II the Morsnons conscicutiously be.
licve It to be ro sin. What a1 Gu rayeous tvrsu-
ny is suppression By law would Le considered
by them.
Fron this point tho battle begins. The
correlatiro Of the C,ssceafs proposition is
that which the South really defends. "sla--
cry is not an c1ense siuco God himself has
permitted it. It is prescribed by Christianity
only; hence tic question is merely religious
ore." We congratulate tho country upon the
happy conjunction Of tito irwin relics Of

The reports Of the two Territorial Committees

as affecting the welfare Of the Territories them

TNIS RELICS OF IsARBARISM.
The South is not in favor Of PoIygamy
The practical amalEamation, going On silently
and s.eadly, aud to such N extent that there
is one mula1to, quadroon OF octoroon for every
Democratic voter in the Southern States, is
called By another nanc. Perhaps properly
enough; because il has advantages, in m econ-
omical sense, that do not belong to Mormon
practice. In Etah. the polygarnist is rcspon-
aiblc jo- tic debts Of his plurality Of wives,
and to certain extent for the education and
good conduct Of his children. In the South,
tho anel:amationist moy compel his slave to
suhuit 70 his riotosls embrace to-day, and DO
his workable, saleablc, hogable cnattcl to-
morrow and the children Of her bone and his
bone, flesh Of their flesh, instead Of being re-
sponsible agents for contracting debts which
the father must pay, arc tho coppcr-colorcd
coin OF large, but not the largest, dcnomina-
tioo, By which the fathers debts may be dis
charged. Ia Utah, the wifo who divides her
husband with two, three, or twenty Of her
ssx, who shares with them tue Lono.s Of
obedience to what tie Saint, Brigham, impi-
ously calls the divine comuand, and
who with them hopes for Il crown Of GLORY,
the reward Of earthly martyrdom, in some
Heaven Of Mormon devising, is supposed to
act in accordance with her uurestraincd will:
she Is n frse agent In the South tho quad
room Or octroon is owned by a master. Her
chastity is lis properly, md he may do with
it as he wills. 1t is marketable commodity
which be may sell; OF il love ofnoncy bo not
his ruling passion, it is his to enjoy. Tie
whip, field labor with scanty rations and brutal
companions, OF tic b]ood-houuds if she should
fly, will overcome her scruples and conquer
the modesty which God gave her sex. Tho
South is not in favor Of Polygamy. Sho has n
wickeder, a more convenient and moro cconom-
ical system BY which, at The same time, lust
may be sntcd and her open markets for the
sale Of children amply stocked. The two
sysEems-tbat CT Utah and that Of
South Carolina--hare 80 many points Of 1c-
semblance, however, that they will make COM
mon cause in scu:defercc. It is known that
the beasts ia the valley Of the Salt Lake, who
worship that supposed patron Of their lechcry,
tor whom the ancients had another namo and
lm1nodest embodiment, arc in favor Of
Slavery to man. Drawing their arguments
IN 'aTor Of plurality Of wives from the mys-
terlons rec,rd Of the dealings Of tho Creator
with n PECULIAR peoplc. they find in tho dead
