mental City" are busy building monuments OF
gratitude in the hearts of their Presbyterian
brethren in the South. They stand side by
side with those in Kentucky and elsewhere
who never weary in efforts to help us and com
fort US. The visit of our beloved Secretary
DIR. j. L. Wilson, seems to have met with
a most generous response, as will be seen from
the public proceedings recorded in another
column, by which it will be found that large
committee of gentlemen of we'll known excel
lence and influence, was appointed to carry out
the benevolent designs of the public meeting

Gambling.-There is a surprising DISPOSE
| ton springing up North and South, to lift
again the flood gates of this terrible vice. 1t
has in this community received quite fair
start by being taken under the patronage first
| of the Association of Ladies in Richmond,
who expect to open Bazaar next spring, the
proceeds to be devoted to caring for the graves
of our soldiers in Hollywood Cemetery; and
next by our Legislature in granting certain
gambling privileges to an Association in Rich
mond, for the purpose of taking care of the
orphans of such soldiers.
The objects themselves are most commenda.
BILE; but it is astonishing there should be an
effort to promote them by vice notorious in
ali its terrible history for making orphans and
digging grdres.
1t is a solemn duty the press owes to good
morals that it should faithfully protest against
this evil, and all the more so because Of the
guise in which it presents itself, in the shape
of 90 Gift Enterprise If the hook were
not thus Jaited, few would probably be caught.
Let none be deceived; it is in its true nature
gambling, and we are obliged to express the
conviction that those who would not be spar.
takers of other mems sims, ought to keep
clear of all such enterprises; to have no fel-
lowship with such unfruitful works of dark
ness, but rather reprove them. F"
1t has been our purpose for some weeks past
to take up this whole matter with view to a
more full exposure of the evil but other dis
discussions on hand have prevented. 1t will
be our endeavor to resume it speedily, and,
without any ether feelings than those of re-
spect for the persons named in these Associa-
tons. Nay, with the highest admiration Of
the selfdenying devoted labors of the noble
ladies connected with the Bazaar, we must
stand fast for principle, and speak without
| fear, favor or affection.

We give, with some unimportant omissions,
the article from the Me,o York Christian Ad-

AND INCREASING DESTITUTION AT
THE SOUTH, and in compliance with requests
both at home and abroad, a number of La
DIES IN BALTIMORE have formed them
selves into an Association to be called
"THE LADIES DEPOSITORY"
Its object is to receive Needle and other
Work, and to dispose Of it solely for the bene-
fit of its owners. Orders will also be received,
at the Depository for any kind of work, so as
to provide employment for those who have not
the necessary materials.
As considerable expense will be incurred in
providing plac,: of business and the requisite
assistants there, and as the enterprise cannot
of course be Self-Supporting, the Association
must depend upon the contributions of Its
friends. The annual subscription has been
fixed at S. and all who are favorably disposed
are earnestly requested to give their prompt
and liberal aid by helping those who are doing
their utmost to help themselves.
The Association have taken the STORE No.
973 LEXINGTON STREET, and expect to be
in operation the llth Of February.

hitherto been retarded in its growth by
the incomplete condition of all the Iowa

offered superior inducements to emil

to Iowa has already given that State a

s1WhInIne" Women

- Brigham Young, of Utah, has bedn
blowing up the women of that free-and
easy territory in a manner at once awful
and uniqve. He accuses them of s'whit-
ming" and he says that they must eIth-
er ''stop that soF. of nonsense" pr else
start for the other side of Jourdan, at
once, and he tells bis own forty wives
that be means them as we'll as the rest
of the feminine Utahyans. He says
that the kernel of the whole difficulty, the
direct occasion of the Gisagreeeble aid
unbearable winnings" lies in the fact
that ''the women expect too much of the
saints :" He says that the women, even
his OVID forty, are so weak.minded as to
suppose that the sanity members of the
Mormon Israel can make heaven on
earth for them, and after woman has
entered a Saints family, and finds that
after all be is not able 10 make heaven
on earth for her, she begins to ''whine"
and talk about "too many wives" and
the "evils of pOlygamY," and such like
"bIasphemous twaddle." Brigham also
says it is his opinion that any woman
who ever lived would be disappointed in
the best Saint" IN Utah, should she
marry him-and on this point we unre
servedly agree with Brigham. The
Goeernor gave all the women warning |
that two weeks from the date of his SER
mon against whining" he should call
upon them either to promise never to
; whine" more, or else to leave the ter
ritory, bag and baggage, saying that be
would even send off all his own wives,
and ,.go TO heaven alone, sooner than
lake such whining" crew along with
him. We shall await the next news
from Utah with deep Interest.

A Week in the Sewers.
Il Sensation 9Ory-To be yell fhake'

Several years ago little German Jev

sewers of New York might be founC
many articles of value which had beer
lost, entered them, and for three day
wandeved thrrugh the labyrinth. He
was very successful, picking up some
$27 900 worth of jewelrY,, spoons. forks
ETC., but, having lost bis way the first day
he believed that he might have fonnd
much more could be have carried out his
original plan, which was to visit the veal
rby portion of1he city. So great, how
ever, were the difficulties and dangers
which he had encountered that nothing
could induce him again to visit "New
York underground"
His adventure, for a time, created
quite a little sensation, but there were
none VenlurOus enough to attemp, sec.
ond, unlil last week, when an adventCr-
Gus party of three, one young woman.
entered the sewer of Houston street al
the ferry on East river. intending to re-
main for one week. during which time
they proposed visiting every portion of
the city where there seemed to be any
chance of finding treasure trove.
Maps were obtained, the city studied
carfully and each days work Carfully
marked out, and then the adyeHturers
started.
After one week two of the party re-
turned TO Terra .frmG, but the remaining
one, it is feard. has perished.

the story Of the week they passed, Each
day they rendezvOused several times in

James Walker and Grady continued their
search emplying six of the bags at the
corner of Twenty-third street and Fifth
avenue. On Wednesday morning, al a
very early hour, and before many people
we're stirring Miss Walker was a. The

iron plate, which at each street corner
leads into a small chamber connecting
with a sewer, she found her brother, bu,

filed over in Madison aYanpe. The loose
treasure was PLACED iR extra bags, and
the whole driven to q Broadway jewell

places on Thursday morning. A watch
was set for Grady, bqt up to this time of
writing nothing has been heard form him
and it is feard that he has perished.
