Brigham Young is said to be about
sending Mormon missionaries to Turkey.
Syria and Egypt; trouble which he
need not take, considering that polyg,.
my is for from being as common in the
East a. generally supposed. The grea.
majority Of Mohsmmedans have only one
wife, and none but great p.shas or nabobs
are able to keep extensive hsrsms.
The Mormons, however, seem deter
mined to out. Turk the Turks, aud Brig.
ham Young is reported to have lS5
wives. Silas Roeder l29, Jeremiah Sterns
Ill, Job BilIiseu 93, Julius Hoffman 92,
Habacuc Croatzy 81, and Gideon Ruflian
81. These gentlemen. We suppose, are
the notsbilities Of Salt Lake, particularly
the last named. Brigham's oldest wife
is not over ~ and his youngest is not
above II, while he is tne survivor Of no
fewer than % spouses. Silas Roeder,
the next IN authority among the Saints,
as nigh. be supposed, is so apt to forget
the names of his wives that he has to call
them by numbers.
The masses in the Mormon country
have only one wife, and the average does
not exceed two or three apiece. Brigham
Young is the reputed father Of 2i5 chill,
drcn, of whom 32 are dead. The surviv-
ing balance of 2l3 cnosists of s5 boys
and l29 girls Silas Roedsr 10 thrice

sisters of their chiefs wives. The pre-.
ponderating nationality among the male
inhabitants is that of Sweden, and the
Danes como next. The Scotch, noted
for their metaphysical propensities, sur
viving all the whisksy of the land Of
Burns, outnumber the Norwegians. Mex,
to them are the Swiss, Germans, ant
Americans. As for the French, ther,
are only two in all the vast Mormon do

SURE CURE FOR CANCERS. A CORES

following as a sure cure for cancers. He
says ho has seen it successfully tried in
several instances.
The juice Of sheep sorrel expressed,

sun, until somewhat jellied. Apply on
the skin over and around the cancer.
As soon as the pain Of the first draw

continue repeating until the cancer, with

Martial La w.

Those who condemn the Government
for employing the powerful agency of
military courts to assist in crushing the
rebellion and restoring civil order, must
remember that they seek to deprive it of
one Of the most useful weapons needed to
complete the task tina: has dcvolved up
on il. Many thought that peace was vir.
tually secured when Lees army had
surrendered to Gen. Grant, aud johnson
had agreed upon terms of capituiation
with Gen Sherman. Yet no sooner was
this done than President Lincoln was
stricken down in the very hour Of our
rcjoicinss, and an attempt was made to
kill the leading men of our Government.
There is marked difference between
wars with foreign nations and domestic
beIligerents. Contests with the former
are finally terminated with formal treaty
and an official recognition Of peace, which
explicitly sets forth that from and after
given day all form of hostilities shall
cease. In the rebellion, no one authority
was competent to guarantee the future
good order of al the insurgents. We
could not consistently recognize any rebel
leader as having such controlling power
within our domipions. First, because
such recognition would have been almost
tantamount to an official acknowledgment
of the confederacy; aud, second, because
no one rebel did, in fact, possess the
power to control all his fellow rebels
Practically, the Goverpmen ent is compelled
to make peace with each and every one
of the insurgents, individually. This it
is virtually doing, day after day, under
the operations of the amnesty proclama-
ton, by its reception of the oaths of fealty
of the citizens of the .disloyal States, and
by its, gradual extension of pardous to
the members of the excepted classes, who
are deprived of the privilege of gaining
immunity for all their past offences by
the mere utterance of formal promise of
loyalty hereafter. Until this long and
tedious process is entirely completed, and
civil order is rs.estsblhhed on . stable

the name Of "IowA" has been carved
upon the brightess pages Of American
history. From The banks Of the Des
Moines you fought your way to- the Gulf
of Mexico and the Atlantic scaboard,
stacking your arms at the close of the
war on the banks of the Potomac in the
shadow Of the Nations Capitol. Such
marches, sieges and battles the world has
never witnessed before, either in ancient

historic grandeur to the age, and render
immortal the glory of our arms.
In the name of the people Of Iowa,

welcome to your homes, and extend to
you the assurance of their pride in your
fame, and their lasting gratitude for your
heroic achievements. Nobly have you
maintained the honor of our State in ev.

A Gentle ReprOOE.

Every good wife and every just hus.
band will appreciate the following little
sketch. 1t is such vivid Inning of
life that thousands will see 10 it rehec.
tion Of something they have witnessed if
not realized:
One day, as Zachariah Hobson was 60.
ing to his daily avocatious after breakfast,
he purchased fine large Goldfish and sent
it home, with directions to bis wife to
have it cooked for dinner. Az no partic.
ular mode Of cooking it was prescribed,
the good woman we'll knew that whether
she boiled it or made it Into chowder,
her husband would scold her when he
came home. But sho resolved to please
him. If possible. and therefore cooked
portions of it in several different ways
She also, with some little difficulty got
an smphibious animal from brook near
the house, and pumped it into the pot.
In due time her husband came home;
some covered dishes were placed on the
table, and with frownipg, fault finding
look, the moody man commenced the
conversation:
'Wer, wife, did you get tho fish l
bought
'Yes, my dear!'
Il should like to know how you have
cooked it. l will bet anything that you
have spoiled it for my eating. (Taking
off the cover.) I thought so. What 10
creation possessed you to fry it? l would
as lief eat boiled frog
why, my dear, thought you loved it
best fried =.
you didn't any such thing. You
knew better; never loved fried fish,
Why didn't you boil it?'
MY dear, the last time We had fresh
fish you know l boiled it, aud you said
you liked it best fried. But have boil.
ed some also .sr ..4t '...
So saying, she lifted a cover, and 10!
the shoulders of the cod, nicely boiled,
were neatly deposited 10 dish, sight
which would have made an epicure re-
joicc, but which only added to the i'll
nature of her husband.
"A pretty dish, this" exclaimed he
Boiled fish! Chips and porridge! If
you had not been one Of the most stupid
Of womankiud you would have made i,
into ctowder.'
My dcar,' said she, Il was resolved t,
please you. There is your favorite dish.
] 'Favorite dish, indeed grumbled tn,
discounted husband. II dare say it is
an uupalatabe, wishy .washy mass. l
would rather have boiled frog than the
whole of it' ',.1"
This was a common expression of his,
aud had been anticipated by his wife,
who, as soon as the preference was ex-
pressed, uncovered large dish near her
husband, and there was q large bull-frog,
of portentious dimensions aud pugnscious
aspect, stretched out at full length. Zac-
ariah sprang from his chair, not little
frightened at this apparition.
My dear, said his wife, in kind, en-.
treating tone, i hope you will at length
be able to make dinner .. -.
1 Zlchariah could not stand this. His
surIy moo4 was finally overcome, and he
burst into hearty laugh. He acknowl,
edged that his wife was right, and that he
was wrong, and declared that she should
never have occasion to read him such
another lesson-and he was as good as
his word.

Rebel State Debtss

Among tho issues which are destined
to clog the operation Of recognizing the
rebel States is that affecting the disposi-
tion to be made of tho State debts which
have been contracted during the war.
These debts are enormous, and far tran
scend those which had been contracted
pay" are in the hands of all sorts of peo =
pie in the South. Even those who
strongly disapproved of secession were
induced by financial exigencies to pur-
chase these State bonds, in payment of
impressed property, or otherwise. 10 the
nature of things, they arc for the most
part held BY the most wealthy and infu-
ential class of citizens, who will be aux
ious 10 save something from the general
wreck by inducing the revived State
Governments to assume them. The party
which goes into the political field pledged
to the assumption of the rebel State debt
will be hard to whip, since it will enlist
10 it's support the cupidity of every bond
holder, We understand there are already
indications that this issue will be made.
1t may be hoped that there is virtue
enough among the loyal people to resist
the appeal. They may DO assured Of one
thing at least, viz: that no State organi
cation which comes up to Washington
tainted with the guilty responsibility Of
taxing loyal men, white and black to pay
the price, of treason will find favor or
acceptance. The Government Of the
United. States has and will continue to
treat tho late rebel Estate Governments
as mere lawless combinations Of, men who
for the time ,usurped tho functions Of
Office. There can be-, therefore, no we'll
grounded imputatiou Of ,"repudiation' in
the bad sense of the word, founded upon
tho rejection Of these spurious claims.
To assume them would be gross iDjus.
tics to the loyal people, and an insult to
the nation, since it would, be an attempt
to reverse the policy Of the Government,
which has in every INSTANCE ignored the
existence of the pretended rebel govern.

4 CANNOT ESCAPE HIS GREATNESS
James Buchanan is the victim of his own
personal and political popularity. He
can no more escape it than he can his
own shadow. lie is most emphatically
suffering from that peculiar condition Of
tho human fates where greatness is thrust
upon a man. Mr.. Buchanan lives at
Lancaster, Pennsylvanis-has lived there
for many long years, except at intervals Of
official duty elsewhere--seems persistent
in still living there, and the people seem
determined to let him know that they
know he lives there. We learn from
citizen of Pennsylvania, in whom we
have implicit confidence, that for three
years in succession the voters of bis city
have honored him with their sufrrages a.
constable, to the extent of an election.
And thrice under the law requiring il
has the Old T. i. gone to the proper
authorities and made oath that this cleo.
tion was without his wish, knowledge or
procurement, and that he did not desire
to hold the cfice. In this way Mr..
Buchanan is annually reminded that he
holds distinguished place in the popu-
lar regard of his city. Having been IN
ardent Office seeker all the days of his
natural life, this would seem to be fit.
