THE MERCHANTS UNION EXPRESS CON-
rASY.-Much has recently been said about
the consolidation of the Merchants Union
Express Co. with the older companies
the .. S. and American. This morn.
ing, Capt. u. A. Pinney, the Rock Island
agent of the Merchants Union Company,
showed us letter from the Superintendent OF
that company, dated Dunkirk, N. Y. Dec. %,
which indicates anything but consolidation.
The Superintendent says that no such thing
has been done, or is likely to occur. "The
Merchants Union, ''he says, Stands. to day just
where 1t did six months ago, perfectly indie.
pendent, doing an immense business, max
ing hosts of friends, and entertaining no
thought of consolidation with any company"

AT TIE TABERNACLE.-On Sunday last Brig
ham is said to have treated his audience to Il
very quaint sort of a speech. He wants all the
young women married off instanter, and wants
all the young men in Zion to marry them and
he openly threatened if the young men failed to
do the job, that he and the bishops and elders
would take the matter in hand and marry them
all themselves. Marrying for love was played
out that old fashioned way of getting married
exploded. 1t wouldn't do here, because if
young man allowed himself to love young
girl and then married her the dickens usually
was to pay when he wanted to take n second
wife. She had his heart and it was impossible
to divide the affections with two more wives.
But he insists that the young men, duty-a
religious duty-should 90 for the young women
on other principles than love, and marry them
all Off. They were instructed also to marry
them by couples and pairs, and triplets; to
quadruplc, quintuple and sextnple if they could
support them. The only consideration for
prudent young mnn was in inqairing how many
wives he could support. The young women
were also ordered TO marry whenever young
man, Saint, went for them, and to become
mothers in Israel. The Prophet preached in this
