AN OLD MANS REFLEcTIoNs.-Ge
Utley of the Racine Wis., Journal has
honely way of being eloquent as we'll
as humorous. OF himself he says:
We have now been man or a sort of
man, not so much as we might or
ought to have been, but more perhaps
than many expected. We have been
our own man for long time, but we
have never performed the wonderful
deeds promised us by hope. We have
fought the battle of life for great num-
Der of years, but not with the success
that hope tlattered us should be ours.
The enemy are great deal more num-
erous, and better posted and more
strongly fortified than we had expected
when drawing our infant plan. We
have run the first three quarters of the
race of life, and are now just turning
into the home stretch, a little bowed,
with limbs little shaky, and the chance
o winning heavy stake very slim,
though the courage to press forward is
good, and Of those who started out with
us in the race, some few are ahead; and
thousands have fallen out or are behind.
This is not to the swift, and there is no
telling who will come out ahead; the
nearer we get to the end G! the race shc
less attractive the stakes appear.

WHINING" WOMEN Brigha M
Young, of Utah, has been blowing up
the women of that free-and-easy Terri
tory in a manner at once awful and un-
ique. He accuses them of "whining,n
and says that they must either "stop
that sort of nonsense" or else start for
the other side of Jordan, at once-and
he tells his own forty wives that he
means THEN, as we'll as the rest of the
feminine Utahans. He says that the
kernal of the whole diffieulty-the di-
rect occasion of the disagreeable and un-
bearable winnings" lies in the fact that
''the women expect to much of the
Saintso He says that the women
even his own forty-are so week min
ded as to suppose that the sanity elders
OF the Mormon Israel can make heav-
Ell on earth for them-and that after
woman has entered Saints family
and finds that after all he is not able to
make a heaven on earth for her, she be-
gins to "whine" and talk about "too
many wives andthe evils of polygamy,'
and such like .blasphemous twaddle."
Brig ham also says it is his opinion that
any woman who ever lived would be
in the best "Saint" in
utah should she marry him,-and on
this point we unreservedly agree with
Brigham. The Governor gave all the
women warning that two weeks from
date Of his sermon against whining"
he should call upon them either to prom
Use never to "whine" more, or else leave
the Territory; bag and baggage, saying
that he would even send off his own
wives. and go to heaven alone, sooner
than take such "whining' crew along
with him. We shall await the next
news from Utah with deep interest.

Humorr Of the Registration.

Some very curious stories are related
concerning the registration in the South.
At the recent election in Richmond some
two thousand negroes lost their votes
because they did not know the names
under which they had registered. At
the Memphis election the other day some
wag told the negroes who were inquiring
where to deposit their ballots 20 put
them in the letter-box on the lamp post,
which large number of them did, and
departed with great glee. One Of the
registers in South Carolina writes as
follows Of his experience in making citi-
zens of the negroes:
Many of them, in fact nearly all Of
them, had no idea what registering "
meant, and, as natural consequence,
the most ludicrous scenes transpired.
Quite a number brought along bags and
baskets to put it in" and in nearly
every instance there was great rush
for fear that we would not have registra.
tion enough to go round" Some thought
it was something to eat, others thought
it was something to wear, and quite a
number thought it was the distribution
of confiscated land under a new name.
They were told they were to come before
the board of registrars ito receive their
elective franchise !" hence all the mis-
takes above mentioned All we're sworn,
and several, on being asked what was
done when they were registered, said
that "de gembin wild de big whisker
make me swar to deport (support) de
laws of United Souf Carolina. IN y.

pisasters TO The Cotton Crop,

The question whether the great South.
ern staple shall stand at its present low
figure, or advance to a very material
extent, depends, in our judgment, solely
upon whether the crop of the United
States, under the encouragement given
by our government to foreign production,
can have any influence on the market,
We are satisfied, from well authenticated
facts from every portion Of our cotton
growing region, that the crop will not
exceed two thirds, if it does oHe.half the
reasonable calculations on the promising
appearances in the month of July. The
destruction has been immense through.
out the most productive sections, and in
very many places the planters have given
up their crops as hopeless. Nor can any
amount of good weather between this
and frost redeem the crop from its heavy
losses. The letters which we publish
this morning from Brooks and Baker
counties, in this State, accord With our
own accounts from Southern Georgia,
Florida, Alabama and Mississippi.
This statement may be relied on as
correct. We always try to write in the
interests of truth, turning deaf ear
alike to the "bears" (the planters) and
to the bulls" (the brokers), and have
generally found the truth about midway
between the two. Such is the character
of our present opinion, based upon well
authenticated facts The North is Sc.
riously in error regarding the present
crop, and they will be satisfied of the
fact before many weeks shall have passed
over their heads. The accounts carried
forward by Southern merchants were
based upon the favorable condition of
things several weeks ago, which no longer
exists Macon, Ga, Telegraph, Sept l5.

An "Honestn Cashier

Not long ago the cashier OF a well

sense-and they asked him if he could
afford to resign.
Yes" said the cashier, "if / could

How is that2 We thought you had
nothing but your salary"
Gentlemen" said he, perfectly cool
and frank, 81 have used the money of
the bank-used it literally. But the
bank has not lost anything. l saw
chances, made the best of them, and re-
turned every dollar | took. l have
enough now, and want to resign. Have
the books exsmined you will find
everything straight. 1t may have been
wrong to use your money; but there is
nothing lost, and it's not worth your
while to make any trouble"
They did not make any trouble, and
the lucky cashier is now member of
the best society in New York.-Y r
