KOrmOnism and Double Love,

LAST week a company of Mormon emf
grants arrived at Boston, on their way to
Utah. Among them was noticed a young
man, more distinguished in his appearance
than the remainder of company and near
him two young females, deeply veiled, whose
delicate grace and reserve indicated them as
belonging to a superior social position. Their
history merits relation. Ludwig Zero was
the son of rich landowner in Sweden, and
the two young ladies were two orphans who
were brought up with him in his family's
family, until he LETT for college at Dontheim,
where he remained several years, and after
wards travelling over TIE greater part Of
Europe, his former playmates were forgotten.
Returning at last to his home, he was aston
ished to find two beautiful women, dazzling
as the Undine of the poet. He was struck to
the heart as with an arrow. Love conquer
him at first sight. He was in love, but with
what one2 Both were splendidly beautiful.
He was enamored Of both. He was in a
whirlpool of doubt, indeeision, and perplexi
ty. 1t was necessary to come to some decis-
ion. and he naturally came to the most droll
one. In an excess Of desperate frankness he
related to the two young girls the state of
his feelings. They laughed at him at first;
then, they reflected, and the result of their
reflections was that they both loved Ludwig,
and were as embarrassed as he. About this
time one Of the Mormon apostles passing
through the place sought to make preselytes
to the doctrine OF the Saints, and converted
the young man and the two girls. Thus
Lugwig Zero, and his companions Nina and
Evohe, from part of the Mormon emigrants
on their way to Salt Lake, where their ro-
nance of love and Implications of wives will
be speedily divested all charm by the low as
sociations around them.-Detroit Adr.

Figures on Dress Parade.

SuAs H. GARD, in note dated fremont
Clarke county, o., July 7th, says:
see a quotation in your paper from the
Scientific American, on the figures on dress
parade. which is widely at fault
Assuming an army Of 100000 men formed
into line single rank, they would show front
of 227 Bill miles, instead OF % miles, allow,
ing two feet to the man. Throw them in
double rank, we have line 113f miles with
out counting fractions-instead ofllt. Should
the generalisSimo wish to make rapid in
spection by railroad, it would take him about
two hours at the rate Of about mile per min
ute, instead of a quarter OF an hour; if mount
cd on his charger at a smart trot it would re-
quire 81 hours at the rate of three minutes
per mile, instead ofover halfh Ifform-
ed in hollow square, in double rank, would
be over 28 miles from side to side, instead Of
nearly miles, showing on each front over 2e
miles. instead OF fraction under three miles
The inclosure would contain about 5Ol.76O
acres, instead Of about $3.50 acres-an area
equal to some of the largest counties in Hi.
nois, instead Of equal to some of the immense
Indian corn-felds in Illinois. Ifthis immense
army were formed in a solid square, allowing
about four square feet for a man, they would
cover about $500 acres, instead of about l5O
acres, and from block Of bayonets fraction
under four miles square, instead Of a fraction
under quarter Of mile square. The esti-
mated weigh: and ratiOns, per day, is the only
thing the Scientific American is correct in.

Hint To General HaIeok.

Ws deem ourselves to be only discharging
patriotic duty when we call the attention oI
the General-in-C Chief to the subjoined inquiry
by the Correspondent of New York weekly
Journal Like Bartimeus," we have often
wondered why the Government should deny
itself the employment of the highest military
talent al its command. This inquiry is speei-
ally appropriate to the present time, when
the new war policy" seems to call for Gen.
erals who undoubtedly have their hearts in it.
or who at least will have their hearts in il
after 1st of january next.
"There is one thing Mr.. Editor, in the
management of this war, which is so out o.
the reach OF my comprehension, that must
ask somebody to explain it to me. Conquer
ing Generals are needed-Generals who will
never miss of being in the right place at the
right time, and that to bag, the biggest oil
the rebel armies. The inexplicable thing
with me is that the Government has not, long
before this time, called General Goodwin, oi

Tribune, General Raymond, of the Times and
General Beecher, of the Independent, into
the field. The military knowledge of these
men, Judging from their journals, must be
stupendous. Every one of them, I think,
demonstrated many days ago, that the army
of Lee and jackson could be 'bagged in
Maryland as easy as any farmer would bag a
few bushels of oats And now that it hasn't
been done, there is hardly one of them that
can speak respectfully of what has been
achieved, notwithstanding Mcclellan and his
heroic army have done the magnificent job
of arresting and driving the hosts of impud-
ent invaders. Why don't the Government
turn to some practical account the skill and
proves Of the fine Generals whose name
have given to you? VIII some wise one
help me to see, the reason who =?

Among the foregoing Generals we give
our preference to General Greeley, of the

The Men who Continues to Vote for General
Jackson.

a WAR correspondent at Harper's Ferry
tells the following:
"A. D. R." has told you Of the reconnOis-
sance yesterday, and what was done to-day.
1t occurred-what I am about to relaie-a
week age. It was not an item of news" !"
It was joke, funny incident Of war, q
story of man who continues to vote for the
late lanented Gen. Andrew jackson. It was
in this wise: Mr. Richardson and myself
were in the Office of Capt Pel, Provost Mar
shall of Harpers Ferry. The train from Bal

die aged man Of gentlemanly appearance en-
tered the Office. His grayish brown beard
was neatly trimed; he wore the black satin

spectacles of the heavy father" Calm be-
nightly beamed from his whole person. He
resembled ones idea Of retired" Pennsyl-
vanian.
Placing his carpet sack carefully upon the
floor in a corner, removing and readjusting
his spectacles, he inquired with mild JUNCTION
of Capt. Pell scIers he could find Col Miles!
"I am sure, Sir, cant tell your said
Capt. PelI. He was almost aghast at the
question.

THE JERSEY LlWIER.S FIRST CASE
IN MINNESOTA.

Mr. DEAR FRIEND:-Did I ever tell you
about the Jersey Lawyers First Case in Min
nesOta7 Mol Wen, then, here gOes-fOr
its worth calculating.
You are no doubt well aware that many
sprgs of aristOcracy, in eastern cities labor
under the impression that in order to extingu-
ish all other lights, they have only to emigrate
to some western town and dazzle the natives.
Many man has started out in search Of wool
and has himself been badly shorn. And in
no town in the world does this class stand a
poorer chance than in St. Psul, Minnesota.
The majority Of its hardy, healthy, and active
inhabitants first went to that place for health,
to recruit those energies which had become
exhausted in active mental labors in the east
The place commenced, in fact, as a sort Of
Natures Hospital. No one thought of locat-
ing there, because it was too far out of the
world. ButinValids aocEed in, convaleseents
wrote back for their families and friends; the
verdict of thousands who have been snatch
ed, as II were, from their graves, was publish
cd far and wide that pure dry air was better
than drugs; and 1t was soon discovered by
artists, spectators and capitalists, that for
beauty of location and artistic building spots,
the place had no rival on the face Of the
globe. The result is, St. Paul to-day has q
population Of about fifteen thousand Of as &C
tive, go-ahead, sharp, jokers, hnanciers and
old travellers, as can be found in any city in
the Union and is doing healthier business,
and is erecting more buildings, and better
ones, than any other three cities Of its size
anywhere.
So much for introduction, and key to the
Urbana union. [volume] (Urbana, Ohio) 1862-1872, 1862-11-05

The following paragraph from the Cinoin-
natl Timesi which strongly supported the Re-
publican State Ticket, is in very good place (:
The CAUSE OF TIE DlsAsrER.--The apologistS
of the Administration are hard put to it to
explain the results of the October election.
Their favorite plea is, that the army is prin-
cipally made up of Republicans, the Demo
Gratis refusing to enlist, with the design Of
carrying the election. This is not only un-
true, but a mean, slanderous and very IN
manly statement; one which no one but a
weakbrained individual OF densgogue Of a
very low class would use.

"w. D. B." Of the Commercial, tells the
following of a 27th Ohio boy:
"Pouey" Grove, of the 9th, nicknamed
"Poney" because he is the biggest man in the
regiment, fought with laughable gravity
When the enemy were flying from the mur-
derous face of Battery Robinett, one of the
rebels, endeavoring to escape, but much i'm
peded by the ENHANCEMENT, brew out white
handkerchief and Airted it above his head
but he continued to skedaddle. "Poney,
who is good shot, had him covered. Major
Spalding sang out, Why, Poney,' you ain'i
a going to shoot that fellow, are you? He's
showing white flag" "POny," without ap-
pearing to pay any attention, drew fine bead
and clipped the fellow beautifully. Without
moving his piece at all, but keeping it al
"airl," he turned his head slowly toward the
Major, and replied, Major, you don't know
them fellows as well as do. Them white
flags is deceitful. If that fellow wanted his
white flag to do him any good, why didn't he
come this way-not run Off don't like
them white flags, no howl" and with that ex-
preston of sentiment "PoneJ" walked to his
victim and foundhi badly wounded. oval,
said "Poney," jamming the butt Of his piece
on the ground ard leaning forward upon it,
"you was pretty d-n fool tor runnin'
wasn't your What was you doin' with that
white rag slzedaddlin' that way7 You might
O. known I'd dropped you. Why didn't
you come in, then you'd been safe" The
poor fellow confessed that perhaps he was
wrong; he was sorry he didn't come in
"Poney" was very kind to him, but twas nc
use. He died
