THE COMING TROUBLE AMONG THE NOR
MoNs.-The Salt Lake correspondent of the
New York tribune, in recent letter says
There are palpable signs of dissolution in
the Mormon Church. The Josephites, (the
followers of smith) pronounce polygamy a
sin, and they claim TO be the true Mormon
church and entitled to the church property.
When Brigham was South this spring, he had
to cut off several hundred members for here
sy, because they adhered to Smith, and over
100 wagons of emigrants are now 1.-THE noun
tains on their way east to escape his fearful
vengeance. The Morrisites are another clas
of dissenters, and have no fellowship with th'
Salt Lake church. They denounce polyRamI
and are constantly receiving acquisitions T.
their numbers. They have strong settle
ment in Utah, at Soda Springs, under th
yery shadow of the Prophet. Every sermo
heard from the Mormons betrayed nervou
fears as to divisions; some appealed, som
unfolded the duty of submission, and BrighaI
Numbered his fierce anathemas against th
faithless.

As ANYTHING connected with the run
ming Of street cars naturally interests
our city readers these days, we copy
the following item from the New York
Times: 5y
Brakes are unouhtedly as necessary
as wheels or horses to q street railroad;
but there is way Of over-using them,
and a way, too, Of using them badly.
Some drivers have adtsagreeable fash
ion of bringing up swiftly moving
car with sudden turn, which precipi-
tates all the standing passengers into
each others stomachs, and brings the
sitting passengers into collision hardly
less unpleasant. Other drivers seem to
have quite discarded the reins as a guide
to the horses, and as for the voice, as an
intimation to the animals, disdain to
use it. They drive with the whip and
the brake, and, armed with one imple-
ment in each hand, they ply them al
ternateIy, even on level ground. This
is easy ON the driver, but hard On the
horses and the passengers; and the man
in front who is supposed Incorrectly to
'shau6le the reinsn ought not 10, be
called a driver, but brakeman. Luck
lily, the majority of car-driyers are not
Of this sort. -sIEz5 1855 1zs7a

Now THAT'the Democracy finds itself
in the minority, it has assumed the dis
interested, and desires to see the sys-
tenn of representation Of minorities
adopted. We are to have the plan OF
Mill or Field, or some other philoso-
pher, for thereby the Democratic dele
cation in the lower House would be
largely increas ed This philanthropy
is, however, OF recent date. 1t is not
quite consistent with the spirit that an
imated that party in the days Of j. Q.
Adams, and whict led them to deny
even the right of petition to a powerless
minority. The sudden conversion of
the once omnipotent majority into the
opposition is the cause for this assump-
tIon OF a desire to reform. It reminds
us Of the rhyme about the gentleman
in black who was sick and a saint
would be, but when he got we'll not
much of saint was he.

SINGULAR SUNDAY OCCUPATION
A writer on the subject of "Benevo-
lent Blunderers," in Good Words,
gives the following account of some
obstacles in the way of a religious
life which will be likely to strike most
readers as novel;
A lady had gone to visit a young
couple Of the better class Of the poor.
They had as yet no children, and the
husband being. stoker on a railway
they were as yet above the reach of
want. Under these circumstances ii
seemed to their visitor that they might
have attended to their religious duties
at least TO the extent Of going to
church on Sundays, and she ventured
to intimate as much to the young wo
man who was standing rather idly at
the door. "Will you please to walk
in till | show you something p was
the woman's answer, and she conduct
ed her visitor into the little kitchen
where her husband sat by the fire
He had just come home for half an
hour to have his tea, and was watch
ing the kettle with all absorbing inter
est. He was of course, in his work
ing clothes, and his face and hands
were of deep oily black, after the
manner Of stokerS. "Now, ma'am,
said the woman, pointing to him, "yor
see that there man that's my husband
and I'm bound to do a part by him
amt l ?" Surely" said the blunder
er, anxious to uphold the duties of
matrimony. "Very well, then; would
you like to know how | pass my
Sundays A washing of he! Never
a blessed moment has he to wash him
self through the week, out early anc
late and half the night too, and black
er nor any crow all the while. Well
on Sundays it's fitting and proper he
should try to look like a Christian if
he can, so he sets me to it after We
has our breakfast, with a bucketful of
soap-suds and a scrubbing-brush, anC
| rubs at him off and On all day, till
my arms ache, and he amt much bet
ter nor he wor; and then after VT
has our tea, he says to me, "Come

unanswerable argument. $50 you see

A MOTHER AND CHILD NEARLY
.STRANGLED BY A SNAKE.-The Marion
{ (Ohio) Mirror of the I'd inst. says that
Mrs Richardson, near that town, had
missed her little boy and went into
the garden to hunt for him. To her
horror she saw the little fellow, eigh-
teen months old, literally enveloped
in the folds of a monster snake. She
|heroically seized the snake in her
hands and tore it loose. No sooner
was he loose, however, than he made
for the mother ferociously, and coiled
himself about her person, attempting
to strangle her as he did the boy
She again seized him and disengaged
herself from him, and killed him with
an axe. The little child swelled up
for several days, but has finally recoY-
cred. The snake is what is called the
"blue racer" which does not bite, but
|strangles. It measured ten feet.

THE GHOST OF THE PAST CoNsTI-
TUTIoN.-In a speech made few
days ago in the House of Representa-
tives, Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens, of Penn.
sylvania, said:
He begged the House to consider
that the Senate was several furlongs
behind the House in the march OF re-
form-perhaps he ought to say radi
calism. Senators were coming uI
sidelong, but had not yet got quite
square up. Some fragments Of TIL
old shattered Constitution had stack
perhaps, IN the Kidneys Of some Sen
ators, (laughter,) and troubled them a
night. When they tried to progress
the ghost of the past Constitution was
found in their way, and obstructet
them. Perhaps that was natura
enough. He did not find any faul
with it.

Horace Greeley on Religion.

Horace Greeley is writing a series
OF sermons to the juvenile readers Of
the Little Corporal. The following
extract from one of them contains
good meat for older readers: 9Hos
"No man is old enough, or wise
enough, to solve all the problems pre-
sented to finite minds by what we see
and know. If the universe has Gre
ator, must there not have been time
when it did not exist? If God made
all things but Himself, must he not
have previously existed alone +? And
must not infinitv have been enlarged
by the subsequent calling of the ma
terial universe into being? Thus,
question after question may be asked
to which no satisfactory answer can
be given, and with reference to which
we can only say, with Tennyson:

That slope through darkness up to God''
But when we quit the dreary do
main of speculation all is simple, cheer.

"Though now we see through a glass

of an infinitely powerful, wise and
good Parent-too wise and too loving
to permit US to defy His laws with
impunity. He must punish every alb
erration from the straight and narrow
path of righteousness-that is, recti-
tude.
He would not be absolutely good
if He did not. To permit US to do
wrong with impunity-to break His
laws and secure thereby seeming per.
sonal advantage or qualification, al
the expense Of general injury-would
be to resign His benignant sceptre
and allow the world to drift helpless.

abyss.
The vital truth is tersely summon

fatal mistake, which covers our globe
with misery and woe. But for this
