The Illinois Mormons.

1t said that there are U,OOO Joe
Smith Mormons in illinois and
the adjacent States. Their most
considerable settlement is at Piano,
q thriving village about fifty miles
west of Chicago. Here resides
Joseph Smith, ''Prophet, Priest
and King" of the Latter Day
Saints" by virtue of of the laying
on of hands of his notable father,
"Joseph Smith, the Martyr" as
he is called by the faithful. There
is no doubt that the assassination
of the Mormon Prophet gave a
powerful impulse to the advance
ment of this new and strange re-
hgion. Smith strongly enforces
monogamy as the true doctrine,
and this constitutes the principal
difference between the Illinois and
Utah Mormons. An account Of
the Illinois Mormons says: Laea
1t is worth mentioning that the
'Golden Book" is considered as
merely supplementary to the BIZ
ble-in which, both the old and
new Testaments, the Morrnons be-
lieve as strictly as any other body
OF Christians. That they consider
themselves Christians contrary to
the opinion Of many who suppose
them to be a mere variety 0. Mo-
harnmedans,) is apparent from the
very name of the order, "The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints Indeed, they usual
ly speak of themselves, not as Nor
mons, but as "Latter Day Saints" !"
Joseph Smith is a rich man,
and, indeed, by way of testimony
against the wealth and worldliness
of Brigham Young, bears himself
with an unostentatious poverty OF
apparel and equipage. He dresses
almost shabblly, and is a man OF
no pretensions to scholarship or re-
finement. His manners are simple,
hearty and unaffected, and his pop
ularity with his followers is un-
bounded. Theeommunity here at
Plano is well spoken by the Gen.
tiles" as moral, orderly and indus
trious, and in their quiet demea-
nor and friendliness very much re-.
semble a society of Quakers. 5
1t is mentioned as a remarkable
fact, that while the Mormons of
Utah are to large extent impor-
tations from Europe, those of Hill
nois are almost exclusively native
Americans, and of higher intelli-
gence than the saints of Salt
Lake. rv - eFast-

Radicalism in Tennessee.

ndCllC6tll6lu LII ! 4VAAVOSOOs
The following lucid description
of Tennessee Radicalism we copy
from the Nashville correspondent
of the st. Louis Republican,
Those of our citizens who are at
all acquainted with the workings
of the contemplate faction at Nash
vile will see its truthfulness at q
glance: ~ gre Z 80
Radicalism, or political malevo-
lence, has ebbed to so low a point
in public estimation, that in Ten
nessee it can now secure champion
ship only in Parson Governor
Brownlow, one Fletcher, his yitu-
perative Secretary of State, and a
daily paper sustained there chiedy
by Legislative appropriations po-
litely called Government print
ing" l mean, of course, that
these are about all the champions
it has outside the State Legisla-
ture, and beyond the mercenary
contingents sent hither by high
tariff monopolists in the shape of
especial correspondents" And
the officials of the capitol are pain
fully aware that even the auxii-
iaries who still keep the field with
them can be relied on not one mo-
ment after the failure OF pay and
rations. Hence there is much
perturbation. The Governors
man Friday, Fletcher, Secretary
of State, takes more to heart the
tiickerlng out of his cannibal fac
tion than any other person. His
sleep is teverish, his dreams like
those of Richard in his tent on
Boswoith Field The worst of all
is, that the negroes despise him
and his little band of maligants,
for it is well understood that while
they have been venting their
spleen against the whites, they
have also been instrumental in
defeating efforts made by prudent
men to get rid of the Freedmen's
Bureau, if possible, by admitting
colored witnesses into the Courts
on terms of equality. In short,
the knot of treasury suckers know
very we'll that whenever the peo-
pie of Tennessee shall be allowed
to speak, or even the Union men
a.one, they will be consigned to
infamy or oblivion. Butone thing
can retain place, power and plum
der in their hands. That one
thing is the maintenance of a
purely provincial government.
To this end it became necessary
just at this time, Congress being
in session, that some kind OF man.
ifesto should be prepared and pub
lished, maligning the people of this
State. A so called Union commit
tee was used for the purpose, and
Fletcher, the Secretary, signed the
paper, with others. 1t was COM
posed of two parts-ohe addressed
to Congress, and the other to the
President; but both intended, espe-
cially the first, mainly to be read
by the unrefecting masses in the
Northern States. To trouble
of the Republican with ex-
tracts from those heavy produc-
tions, would be infiicting too much.
The papers have been already
printed beyond their merits 1t
is enough to state, that an effort
was therein made to induce be-
lief that Tennessee is utterly unfit
for self government; that the ''loy-
all and the African, if left to the
State Government proper, without
an intervening military arm,
would be prosecuted to inevitable
death. s9ifa re -nelstIo 4sal nt

AN UNHEALTHY HOUSE.-A
dark house is always an unhealthy
house, always an ill-aired house, al
ways a dirty house. Want of
light stops growth, and promotes
scrofula, ricketts,, &C., among chill
dren. People lose their health in
a house, and if they get i'll, they
cannot get well again init. Three
out of many negligences and igno-
RANGES in managing the health of
houses generally, l will here men
tion as specimens. First, that the
female head in charge of any
building does not think it necessa-
ry to visit every hole and corner
of it every day. Second, that it
is not considered essential to air,
to sun, and to clean rooms, while
uninhabited. Third, one window
is considered enough to air q room.
