The London Fog.

The reduction of the income tax, Par
limentary reform, the repeal of the malt
tax, the publication of the Thames, the
relief of restitution, are all measures more
or less earnestly desired 10 divers quar-.
ters. But if on Saturday evening any can.
dldate had started for a metropolitan con-
sttuency with an effective Bill in his
pocket for the abolition of the institution
known as the London fog, he would have
distanced the most attractive political COM
pet'tor for popular favor. Every one was
gasping. Even those who renained at
home found large clear fire but poor
mitigation Of the unpleasant atmosphere
that filled their comfortable rooms. In the
theatre the audiences were pretty much
in the position of the bewitched lovers in
the midsummer Nights Dream. -
Voices were heard well enough, but the
capacity of vision was greatly limited -
But 1t was in the matter of locomotion
and out OF doors that the full extent of the
social disorganisation was manifest -
When some years ago the London cabmcn
struck one day, and left the people to find
their way about as best they could, the in
convenience was greater than any one
could have imagined. But even then the
worst results were loss of dignity and de-
lay. Great magnates arriving from the
country were forced to swallow their rank
and adopt the omnibus knife-board of mid
die class life. Railway passengers were
happy if they were able 10 puon:e pron

Mormons and their Homes.

A. j. Weaver, who recently went over
land to California, writes to Boston paper
somewhat of the experience and observa-
tons among the Mormons
Great Salt Lake Valley is an oasis on
the overland route to California 1t is to
the tired emigrant resting place to make
repairs and gather strength for the re-
mainder of the journey. The mountains
to the east of Salt Lake City do not form
chain or ridge of mountains over whose
rocky SUBMITS we were obliged to climb,
but are lofty peaks which rise like cones,
and whose bases join in common though
uneven line below and form canons, one
after another, ten, fifteen and twenty
miles, through which we threaded our
narrow way. The sides which shut us in
seemed like two high steep roofs which
rose to the right and left, but whose caves
met at the bottom and formed an angle or
ch"nnel along which we travelled for near
ly three days. AS we advanced these
roofs became sleeper, sharp lodges and
sandstone rock, both red and gray began
to protrude, till at length they straighteu-
ed up into immense perpendicular walls,
whose solid masonry rose layer above
layer and color above color, two, three
aud even four thousand feet into the
air AS | gazed upward at the time from
the narrow wagon pass below, l thought
it one of the grandest and sublimest sights
ever saw. Suddenly We rose from this
deep and narrow canon upon little bluff,
and Salt Lake Valley lay spread in full
view before us. 1t is a smooth, level
plain, in the midst of MOUNTAINS, rather
deep basin, not more than fifty miles long
and thirty. wide, yet very much smaller
apparently than this even, because walled
III by towering peaks whose snowy caps
outlaSt the summers sun and glsten in
icy glory through every mouth in the year.
Far up the basin to our right just at the
foot of the mountains stood Salt Lake
City, and twelve miles to the west of it,
on the opposite side, cleaned the blue wa
tiers OF Great Salt Lake. AS stood there
and gazed down upon the beautiful valley
that was unrolled below thought a peo-
pie never fled to safer or surer retreat
where to enjoy their religion. 1t is actu-
ally hidden from the civilized world, be-
ing guarded on the east by rugged noun
tains, while on the west broad and almost
impossible deserts to the Nevada Range
bar all hostile approach.
AS we passed d wu the table lands
which border the valley, herds of horses
and cattle were grazing IN either hand -
Soon. we struck upon level bottom. Rude
aud rough cabins, though neat and order
ystood along the road side Excellent gar
dens we're spread out aud children stood
with veil filed baske Of vegetables to

A Theatrical Incident.

Some years ago the manager of we'll
regulated theatre" somewhere along the
line of the Erie Canal, engaged good
looking and brisk young. lady as a supernu-
merary. 1t happened that the young lady
in question had formerly ofiiciated in some
capacity as "hand" on board canal
boat, fact which she was extremely anx-
ious to conceal. She evinced much anx-
iety TO master the details of her newly
chosen profession, and soon exhibited a
more thao ordinary degree of comic tai
ent She was duly promoted, and in time
became general favorite with both man
ager and public.
One night she was announced to appear
in a favorite part, couple of boatmen
found their way into the pit, near the foot
lights, particularly anxious to see the now
famous coincidence. The house was
crowded, and after the subsistence of the
general applause which greeted her ap-,
pearance, one of the boatmen slapped bis
companion on the shoulder, and with an
emphatic expletive, exclaimed loud enough
to be heard over half the house:
"Bill, know that gal p'
"Pshaw,' said Bill, "dry up"
"But Pm ID if 1 don't know, Bill.
Its Sal Flukins, as sure as you're born
She's old Fiukins' daughter that used to
run the Injured Polly, aud she used to

"Tom," said Bill, "you'rc fool, and IL

He watched the actress in all her motions
with intense interest,", and ere long he
broke out again:
81 tell ye, Bill, that's her-I know 'tis,
You can't fool mel know her too
we'll !"
Bill, who was good deal interested in
the play, was out of all patience at this
persistent interruption on tie part of Tom.
He gave him tremendous nudge in the
ribs with his elbow, an emphatic hint for
him to keep quiet.
"Tom, without mindng the admoni-
ton, said "You just wait-Pll fix her,
keep your eye on me.
SIRE enough he did fix her. Watching
his opportunity when the actress was deep.
ly absorbed iu her part, he sung out in a
voice which rang through the galleries.
GLOW Bridge !"
From the force of habit, the actress in.
stantly and involuntarily ducked her head
to avoid the anticipated collision. Down
came the house with perfect thunder of
applause at this palpsble hit; high above

The Effect Of Marriage.

Doubtless you have remarked, with sat-
isfacton, how the little oddities of men
who marry rather late in life, are pruned
away speedily after their marriage. You
have found men who used to be shabbily
and carelessly dressed, with huge shirt
collar frayed on the edges, and glaring
yellow silk pocket-handkerchief, broken
of these things and become pattern of
neatness. You have seen a man whose
hair and whiskers were ridculously, cut,
speedily become like human beings You
have seen a clergyman who wore long
beard, in little while appear withou.
one. You have seen II man who used to
sing ridiculous sentimental songs, leave
them off A wife is the grand wieller of
the moral pruning knife. Whenever you
find man whom you know little about,
oddly dressed, or talking ridiculously, or
exhibiting any ecreutrcity of manner, you
may be tolerably sure that he is not a
married man. Wives generally have
much more sense than their husbands, es-
pecially when the hnsban !s are clever men.
The wife's alvces are like the ballast that
keeps the ship steady. They are like tho
wholesome, though painful shears nipping
off little growths of -elt-conceit aud folly.

THE BRIDE OF LAMMERMooR.-So
wide has been the circulation of the "Brido
of Lammermoor," and so completely has
the novelist contrived to naturalize the Gre.
alton of bis fancy, that few of his admir-.
ers will be inclined to believe US when we
assure them that the true tradition is that
the bridegroom stabbed the bride, aud fur.
lher, that the tragedy occurred at Balloon
many days after the marriage, and neither
on the wedding night nor at the brides
fathers residence. Moreover, the first
Lady Stair was not "notoriously harsh and
hard" but an excellent, witty and accom-
plished woman, although she was doubt
less that which Sir Walter Scott disllked,
a most decided Presbyterian. Young Ra-
venswood, also, is quite unknown in Gal
oway tradition, which Indignantly dis
