THE MORMON MISSIONARIES IN WALES
Few persons aware of the immense en-.
couragement which the emissares Of Brigham
Young always find the Welsh countries,
especially in the southern parts. The miners
are almred by the promises held out 70 them of
getting ''land for the asking" nigh wages, and
q com Portable home IN the Salt Lake settlement,
and they gladly abandon q life Of toll for sh 9
falrer prospect which is pictured TO them. The
Mormon elders, however, seek chiefly for girls,
and many q household In Wales loses its best
female servants, once or twice year, owing to
the persuasion Of Mormon preachers. These
young women are generally told th at polygamy
forms no part Of the Mormon religion or prac.
tice, and that ITS alleged existencs Is q mere
wicked calumny Of the identities" In Mon
moutshire, the progress OF the sect during the
last few years has been amazing, but IL Is i'm

returns, because the acon verts" are taken out
Of the country as fast as they are won.

How DELAWARE OBTAINS RKvENuE-A
letter from Dover (Delaware) TO the Philadel-
phia Telegraph says: 1.-THE revenue of the
State is chiefly derived from the per capita i'm.
posed upon all strangers who pass over the
Two railways of Delaware. This per capita is
not charged TO people buying tickets Tor any
station within the limits of the State; but 10
folks who are compelled to take in Delaware
and ITS course Oh long journey. New jersey
has been pretty sOundly treated for sweating
the foreigner; but Delaware, in less degree, is
her accsmplice. Every time you buy ticket
from NeWYork or Philadelphia TO Baltimore or
Washington. you pay the vast Commo nwealth
of delaware one dime. The revenue thus re-
ceIyed amounts TO seven thousand dollars q
month the larger part of the revenue OF Della
ware. This way of paying your expenses by
erecting toll-gate for your neighbors must
commend itselfto every ingenious and selfi.a
mind. II we all adopt II, we shall all be even,
and the bad business OF going from home will
be stopped. i have been fifty times TO Wash
lngton, so that must have paid the State of
Delaware enough TO whip at least four men.
Thus do we assist justice, as We sall, as We
