Brigham Young, not content with one at

the little god of Love. In late order this
beast of a prophet orders the young men of
Utah to marry right of" all the unmarried
girls, and not allow themselves to be guided
oy love, but marry as they come. Love he
pronounces as humbug, and winds up with
saying that if after certain time any girls
"are left over" he will marry them.

n9y- The TELEGRArn-Th Cabinet of
England, which for long time has had the
subject under consideration, has resolved to
place all the telegraph lines of Great Britain
under the direction of the Post Office De-
partment. Belgium, and other European
Governments, have already made the tcle-
graph lines part of their Postal System,
and it is rcproach that this great Republic
should be among the last in o matter of this
kind. Thus far this great invention has
been used for the benefit Of few corporators
and monopolsts. The people, literally, are
entirely shut out from its benefits. In the
hands of the Government, dispatches of ten
words could be sent to Philadelphia for ten
cents, and fifty messages would be sent for
every one now sent over the lines. The people
would be accommodated and the Govern
mont would realize larger revenue than the
monopoists now receive.

rS3" CHIRoGRApHY.-We have heard it
suggested, and with some truth, that the
modern handwriting of ladies, to say moth
ing of cross-lines, is more illegible and
harder to read than the rapid scrawl of an
attorney. Ladies should always be not
only neat and orderly in all they do, but
endeavor to be understood in their com
munications--we mean written ones, of
course.
